Every word Xie Zhiyan said was like a slap in Ji Wuyuan's face.

Every word seemed to mock his youthful recklessness and ignorance.

Ji Wuyuan gritted his teeth, his handsome face becoming unbelievably gloomy.

But unfortunately, such ridiculous words were actually said by him himself, and he couldn't refute it.

At that time, he was bloodthirsty and cold-hearted. He never thought he would fall in love with a woman. The women in the harem were nothing more than dispensable pawns to him.

But what did Xie Zhiyan say at that time?

He said, "I don't like those vulgar women in the harem. Even if they are given to me for free, I won't take them."

But now?

Thinking of this, Ji Wuyuan sneered, his eyes suppressing anger, and mocked without any hesitation: "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't take it even if it was given to you for free?"

When Xie Zhiyan heard this, he also felt a burning pain on his face, but what hurt more than his face was his heart.

He said nothing, his expression gloomy with regret.

Ji Wuyuan continued, "Except Jiang Wantang, the others...you can choose whatever you want."

Xie Zhiyan knew this would be the result, he just wanted to fight for it in a fair and open manner.

Just when Ji Wuyuan thought he would reject it with disdain, Xie Zhiyan said, "Leave Lady Wang to me."

Ji Wuyuan had no reason to refuse such a request.

But when Xie Zhiyan was about to leave, Ji Wuyuan called him back and warned him in a deep voice, as an emperor: "I don't want to see you appear in front of her again."

Xie Zhiyan bowed with both hands and spoke word by word, "I understand."

After saying that, he took his leave and left.

Zhao Yi, who was standing aside, looked at Ji Wuyuan, then at Xie Zhiyan who was leaving, feeling anxious and irritated.

"Cousin, you and A Yan have known each other since childhood. You know his character very well. He has always been a well-behaved and respectful person. He would never do anything that goes against the ways of a gentleman."

"This...this...you can't control your love for someone..."

Ji Wuyuan sneered, his words cold and mean: "Otherwise, how do you think he can leave this Taiji Palace?"

"And you, I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you're already concerned about him?"

Zhao Yi quickly retreated after hearing this, and shouted towards Xie Zhiyan's back, "Ah Yan, walk slower, wait for me..."

Ji Wuyuan looked at Zhao Yi who slipped away faster than anyone else, his face full of black lines, and he was speechless.

He understood better than anyone that there was nothing between Xie Zhiyan and Jiang Wantang.

Not long ago, when he rushed to the side hall of Changle Palace, Xie Zhiyan had been tortured by Meixiang and started to hurt himself, but he always stood at the farthest distance from Jiang Wantang.

Even if he was drugged, he would rather hurt himself or die than do anything to hurt Jiang Wantang in the slightest.

Xie Zhiyan knew that Concubine Wang's men were watching nearby. As long as he didn't leave the side hall, they would think their plan had succeeded and would not attack Jiang Wantang again.

But so what?

What’s nothing now doesn’t mean it will be nothing in the future.

Now maybe it's just Xie Zhiyan's wishful thinking. If he leaves it alone, when his Tang'er finally comes to his senses, it will be too late to regret.

Ji Wuyuan would not tolerate anyone else coveting the person he liked.

Not to mention that Jiang Wantang is his woman now, even if she is someone else, he will never let her go in this life!

Jiang Wantang can only be his.

The heart is his, and the person is his.

Thinking of this, Ji Wuyuan's eyebrows and eyes were filled with a bit of paranoia and hostility, dark and gloomy, making people dare not look closely...

On the other side, Zhao Yi, who had run out, finally caught up with Xie Zhiyan and said breathlessly, "Ayan, why are you walking so fast?"

As he spoke, he looked at the shocking injuries on Xie Zhiyan's face and body, and said worriedly: "Come on, I'll take you to the Imperial Hospital to treat your injuries."

Xie Zhiyan refused directly.

Zhao Yi added, "Then take my carriage back and stay with me for a few days."

As if afraid that Xie Zhiyan would refuse again, he quickly added, "Your face is covered in wounds. If you just ride back like this, you'll become the laughing stock of the entire capital tomorrow."

"Besides, it's probably not appropriate for you to return home injured like this."

Xie Zhiyan hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

When they got on the carriage and Zhao Yi took out medicine to treat Xie Zhiyan's wound, he realized what was truly shocking.

His cousin was really cruel, he almost beat the man to death.

Zhao Yi finally understood why Xie Zhiyan left so quickly.

His mouth was full of blood, and the flesh inside his cheeks was a blur.

This is only what is visible on the body, there are also invisible things,

The blood at the corner of his mouth was black, and it was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.

Zhao Yi didn't expect that the injury would be so serious. After all, looking at Xie Zhiyan's silent appearance at the time, it seemed as if he had only suffered a minor injury and it didn't hurt much.

Until piece after piece of white wrapping was dyed blood red...

Zhao Yi was shocked by what he saw. It hurt just looking at it.

If this falls on you, how painful it would be...

But Xie Zhiyan remained silent from beginning to end.

Zhao Yi thought that he would at least use his internal strength to block it, but he didn't expect that Xie Zhiyan was actually taking the beating with his physical body.

Just like at this moment, Xie Zhiyan just calmly let this layman treat the wound, without even frowning from beginning to end.

Zhao Yi looked at his dead look and said bitterly, "Are you stupid? Even if you don't fight back, you should at least hide!"

"You can just quietly use some internal energy to block it!"

"You know my cousin was hurt because he was angry. What if he hits you harder and kills you?"

When they were little, they played and joked with others, but Xie Zhiyan never suffered any loss.

No one could ever get anything out of him unless he volunteered.

So, today he...

Xie Zhiyan was silent for a moment, then asked calmly, "Why are you hiding?"

Zhao Yi was completely dumbfounded. He exclaimed, "Are you really not afraid of being beaten to death by him?!"

Xie Zhiyan smiled and said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty is angry. If you don't vent it on me today, it will inevitably affect others."

"Rather than this, I would rather he vent all his anger on me."

Zhao Yi: Others?!
