Wang Fuhai jogged after him, sighing in his heart: Your Majesty, you are so confused!

How dare you take His Majesty's Imperial Dragon Pendant and visit that person in the dungeon...

Isn't this a stab to Your Majesty's heart?

At that time, in the dungeon.

Ji Wuwang sat upright on the dark and dirty straw couch. His blood-stained snow-white clothes could not hide his elegance, especially his innate noble and elegant temperament.

The two deputy generals, Shi Feng and Shi Lin, were kneeling before him with red eyes, begging bitterly, "Your Highness, please, please leave with us."

"Your injuries are so severe. If you don't treat them promptly, what if you develop a chronic illness?"

Ji Wuwang's eyes were fixed on the small iron window in the dungeon...

After a long while, he said, "Are there any rumors in the capital that are unfavorable to her?"

Shi Lin shook his head and said truthfully, "Apart from the rumors that started out, anyone who spreads rumors about Second Miss Jiang will be punished by our people."

"It's not just our people. The tyrant in the palace... He also used drastic measures to silence the public."

Ji Wuwang was silent for a moment, then asked, "What kind of rumor is that?"

"Rumor has it that the North and the Imperial Court will be at war again, and that the struggle between you and the tyrant is over a woman. They say that woman is your... Second Miss Jiang."

In the middle of his words, Shi Lin quickly changed his words.

Ji Wuwang's eyes turned cold in an instant, his handsome face became gloomy, and covered with a layer of terrifying frost.

He said coldly, "Have you found out who is behind this and fanning the flames, deliberately spreading rumors?"

"I have found out that it was the work of the Nanyue people from the post station. As for who it was, I can't say for sure..."

"That person hid very well." Shi Lin replied.

Shi Feng also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, those people from Nanyue are obviously trying to take advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble. Please don't be impulsive!"

Ji Wuwang sneered, his eyes cold and sinister: "Really?"

That day, there were only a few people in Gong Yan who knew that he was going after Jiang Wantang.

The two groups of people from Nanyue Country are none other than Baili Yufeng and Baili Yuyan.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold look flashing across them: "Since they are so free, I don't mind getting involved in their fight for the throne."

"Send a message to the secret agents in Nanyue Kingdom to find a way to push the third prince Baili Yuchen onto the throne of Nanyue Kingdom."

"Also, let our people spread the rumor in the capital that I came back to seize the throne because I hold a grudge from the previous struggle for the throne."

Shi Feng and Shi Lin were horrified when they heard this: "Your Majesty! No!"

Shi Lin said anxiously, "Your Majesty, if the rumor gets out, your good reputation will be completely ruined!"

For the sake of a woman, even the most promising man would not hesitate to bear the crime of being a traitor.

Ji Wuwang said expressionlessly, "This king never cares about these things."

Shi Feng was impatient. Seeing this, he said anxiously, "Is it worth it for your Highness to do this for a woman?"

"If it weren't for her, you would be the ruler of the world now..."

"Shut up!" Ji Wuwang scolded coldly, "Don't mention such things again."

"It is this king who has no chance of becoming emperor. It has nothing to do with her."

Shi Lin also spoke at the right time: "Your Highness, you also had your own reasons back then. You have been looking for Miss Jiang Er for so many years, why don't you explain it clearly to her?"

Ji Wuwang's eyes grew a bit more gloomy. "You don't understand. She doesn't even want to admit her original identity. If I tell her everything, it will only cause her more trouble and guilt."

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the dungeon, coming from far away and getting closer...

Shi Feng and Shi Lin's pupils widened, and after their eyes met, they were about to take Ji Wuwang away.

The latter still refused to leave.

The two had no choice but to leave the medicine and quickly take their leave.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but Ji Wuwang was still staring at the shabby and rusty little iron window in the dark cell, in a daze and indifferent.

From a distance, Jiang Wantang saw Ji Wuwang's snow-white clothes, stained crimson with blood...

His eyes were dim and lonely.

It was a look of dejection and frustration that she had never seen before.

Jiang Wantang paused, unable to describe the feeling in her heart. A sour and bitter emotion spread in her heart.

It was not until the dungeon door was opened that Ji Wuwang turned and looked towards the door.

With just one glance, the dark light in his eyes suddenly brightened.

He stood up quickly, and the violent movement pulled the wound, causing him to let out a "hiss" cry of pain.

Jiang Wantang looked at the blood flowing from his chest again, her heart suddenly tightened, and she walked in.

Ji Wuwang smiled and said, "Atang, you're here..."

Jiang Wantang nodded and said "hmm" lightly.

Although her attitude remained cold, Ji Wuwang felt happy from the bottom of his heart, as if his aching heart had come back to life.

He stared at Jiang Wantang without blinking, his eyes straight and eager: "Atang, are you okay?"

"Did he give you any trouble?"

Jiang Wantang said calmly, "No, he treats me very well."

Ji Wuwang was stunned for a moment, his eyes unconsciously filled with a bit of sadness, but he quickly regained his composure.

Then he took out a golden and luxurious longevity lock necklace from his arms. The gems inlaid on it were all in the shape of crabapple flowers. There were a few small lines of words engraved on the back of the longevity lock: I only wish Atang to live a long life and be happy every year.

Jiang Wantang's eyes turned red, and a burning sour feeling appeared in them.

This was given to her by Brother Xiaoqi six years ago, and it was also the first golden locket of longevity she received in her life.

He said, "Little Atang, you must eat more, grow up quickly, and live a long life."

She said, "When Atang grows up, she will marry my brother and become his wife, and we will never be apart."

He smiled and said, "Our little Atang knows she's going to get married at such a young age? Okay, Brother Xiaoqi will wait for you to grow up."

It was just a casual remark from the little girl, but he took it seriously.

Only Jiang Wantang knew that it was not just a casual remark. She truly loved the young man in white and wanted to marry him, be his wife, and stay together forever.

But, in the end, it is fate that plays tricks on us.

If you miss it, you miss it...

Jiang Wantang lowered her eyes to look at the patterns and outlines on the longevity golden locket, which had gradually become rounded and blurred. It was obvious that this was caused by someone holding it in their hands and stroking it over and over again.

Her eyes flushed red, and her throat was difficult: "I..."

Ji Wuwang seemed to have noticed something and immediately said, "Atang, I have traveled between the north and the south over the years and collected many treasures that girls would like. I have sent a message to have them sent from the northern border for Atang to enjoy..."

Jiang Wantang spoke again: "I..."
