The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

For Nangong Liuli, Baili Yuyan, who is obviously a beast in human form and has a dagger hidden behind his smile, is more terrifying than the shameless and lustful Baili Yufeng.

She had witnessed with her own eyes how Baili Yuyan brutally killed those who deceived and betrayed him, including his brothers and sisters.

A gentleman in front of people, a beast behind them.

Therefore, she knew better than anyone else how insidious and vicious Baili Yuyan was.

At this moment, Nangong Liuli, who was already numb on the couch, also clearly understood why the two brothers treated her like this tonight.

Because they all fell in love with Jiang Wantang at today's palace banquet, and since they couldn't get her, they used her as a substitute for Jiang Wantang.

Before Jiang Wantang appeared, they still had some concerns and pity for her, but now they seemed to treat her as a toy for their sexual gratification.

Nangong Liuli was filled with grief, and the hatred that had been suppressed for so long suddenly lingered in her heart.

She couldn't help but hate Jiang Wantang. Her appearance had taken away too many things that should have belonged to her.

She wanted to be the queen of the Great Sheng Dynasty and kill Ji Wuyuan with her own hands to commemorate the hundreds of dead souls of the Nangong clan.

On the other side, after Jiang Wantang and Xie Zhiyan left the mansion, Jiang Wantang headed towards the palace.

Before leaving, she said to Xie Zhiyan with a sly smile, "Thank you so much, sir, for bringing me to see this wonderful show today."

Xie Zhiyan was suddenly speechless. If he had known this would happen, he would not have taken her there.

Jiang Wantang looked at his face with an indescribable expression, the smile in her eyes deepened, then she clapped her hands and walked away heartlessly.

What she didn't know was that Xie Zhiyan silently escorted him all the way to the vicinity of the palace and only left after seeing her enter the palace safely.

Recently, due to the arrival of envoys from the Nanyue Kingdom and Princess Wuwang of Zhenbei, the capital city appears peaceful on the surface, but undercurrents are actually surging.

When Jiang Wantang returned to Changle Palace, he was still thinking about the complicated relationship between Nangong Liuli, Baili Yufeng and Baili Yuyan, and did not notice anything wrong in the palace.

Everything was quiet until she reached the entrance of the hall and a familiar cold voice rang out...

"came back?"

Jiang Wantang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

At this moment, the candlelight in the hall suddenly lit up, illuminating the whole hall.

Jiang Wantang raised her eyes and saw Ji Wuyuan sitting in the hall, wearing a black and gold dragon robe.

The latter looked deeply at her black nightgown, and the color in his dark pupils was unfathomable.

Ji Wuyuan carelessly stroked the black jade ring on his finger, his posture was dignified and extremely elegant.

His voice was flat, his emotions hidden, and he was eerily calm: "Where did you go?"

The more he acted like this, the more Jiang Wantang felt that the situation was not good.

So, she walked over quickly, but didn't dare to get close to him, so she knelt down obediently and called out softly, "A Yuan..."

"I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."

He was really sensible. He knew he had made a mistake and was caught red-handed, so he admitted it immediately without any hesitation or excuses.

The main thing is to be sincere and not dare to do it again next time.

Ji Wuyuan paused and laughed angrily.

When nothing happened, he would call him "Your Majesty", but once something happened or he needed a favor from him, he would immediately change his address to "A Yuan".

"Jiang Wantang..." Ji Wuyuan called her name coldly, and said in a serious tone: "You are so brave!"

"Leaving the palace at night is a capital crime!"

Judging from the posture, it seems that they are taking a business-like attitude.

Jiang Wantang was startled and quickly reached out to grab the hem of his clothes. Her eyes were red as she said pitifully, "I know I was wrong. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Ji Wuyuan knew she was pretending.

But when he saw her red eyes, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

So, he coughed lightly and said in a softer tone, "Get up."

Jiang Wantang was just building up his emotions, and before he could say the next word, he suddenly heard this sentence, mistakenly thinking that he was hallucinating.

"what?"

"The ground is cold, I asked you to get up and talk." Ji Wuyuan's expression remained cold.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wantang quickly stood up and walked towards Ji Wuyuan.

Ji Wuyuan poured himself a cup of hot tea and spoke coldly: "Tell me, what did you do when you sneaked out of the palace so late at night?"

Jiang Wantang was about to say the words she had thought of in advance when Ji Wuyuan looked at her and said with a half-smile, "You only have one chance."

"Tang'er better think carefully before answering."

"Don't lie, I will know."

After saying that, he placed the cup of hot tea in Jiang Wantang's hand.

Jiang Wantang was stunned. She was indeed a little thirsty, so she drank several sips.

After drinking, I finally chose to confess to him.

Feeling quite guilty, she told Ji Wuyuan everything she had seen and heard in the mansion, except of course the part about the thank you banquet.

Jiang Wantang originally thought that Ji Wuyuan would be as surprised as she and Xie Zhiyan after hearing this, but he remained calm and his expression did not change at all.

That means...

"Your Majesty knew this a long time ago?" Jiang Wantang asked in surprise.

Ji Wuyuan nodded.

To be precise, he not only knew, but also knew exactly why Nangong Liuli ended up in Nanyue Country.

There are even some of his works in it.

However, he did not intend to tell Jiang Wantang about this. He did not want her to see his dark side and become alienated from him or afraid of him.

Ji Wuyuan pulled Jiang Wantang onto him, sighed, and said seriously, "This is just this once, it won't happen again."

Jiang Wantang lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."

Ji Wuyuan touched her head and said in a soothing tone: "Be good and listen to me. I don't want to restrain you."

"It's just that the capital has been in turmoil recently. If Tang'er wants to leave the palace, I'll take you out after this period of time, okay?"

Jiang Wantang nodded, but before she could say anything, Ji Wuyuan said, "It's getting late. Tang'er, go to bed early. Tomorrow the palace will hold a banquet to welcome the Prince of Zhenbei as usual."

Jiang Wantang's eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and Ji Wuyuan noticed it keenly.

He spoke and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Wantang buried her head in his arms and said sullenly, "A Yuan, I'm sleepy..."

Ji Wuyuan didn't say anything, picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.

Jiang Wantang said she wanted to take a bath, so Ji Wuyuan took her directly to Taiji Palace. There was a hot spring pool in his bedroom.

At the same time, Nangong Liuli, who had returned to the inn, ordered people to bring buckets of hot water.

She washed it over and over again, scrubbing the skin that had been rubbed red and almost peeling, her eyes filled with strong disgust and anger...
