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

Ji Wuyuan sneered and said directly without giving any face: "If I had known it was you, I would not have come."

Nangong Liuli suddenly covered her mouth and giggled. She said, "I thought you treated me differently from others."

"Ji Wuwang still cares about our childhood friendship, but you..."

"Ji Wuyuan, your heart is so cold and hard."

"Why would Jiang Wantang choose you over someone as good as Ji Wuwang?"

Ji Wuyuan frowned, his expression darkening instantly. He said impatiently, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to say to me?"

Nangong Liuli raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a hint of smile: "If I say, I want to enter the palace as a concubine..."

"impossible!"

Before Nangong Liuli finished speaking, Ji Wuyuan refused without hesitation.

His eyes were very cold, as if condensed with a layer of black ice. His phoenix eyes were handsome and deep, revealing darkness and coldness.

"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Ji Wuyuan saw through everything and spoke coldly, "Nangong Liuli, you want to kill me, so how could I possibly let you into the palace?"

"But I never thought that, in order to stay here, you would even kill an old, ugly fool like An Linhou?"

As he spoke, he uttered a soft "tsk" and said in a tone full of sarcasm: "You really aren't picky?"

Nangong Liuli's face suddenly turned pale and blue, as if someone had lifted the last fig leaf from her.

She gritted her teeth, her face embarrassed and humiliated.

Then, she chuckled and said bitterly, "I, Nangong Liuli, have fallen to this point. Ultimately, it's all because of you!"

"Since you know that I'm colluding with Marquis Anlin, and now it's me who appears before you, why not guess who is secretly colluding with him in that secluded hall?"

Ji Wuyuan's face instantly turned gloomy. He raised his hand and grabbed Nangong Liuli's neck tightly. His eyes were frighteningly cold and full of murderous intent.

"Are you trying to trick me again?"

"With just your tricks, can you really trick her?"

His words were full of disdain and ridicule.

Nangong Liuli smiled nonchalantly and said, "Whether it's possible or not, you'll know when you go and see it."

Ji Wuyuan's eyes were fierce and fierce: "If you want to die, I can help you do it now."

After saying that, he increased the strength in his hands.

Nangong Liuli's face was flushed with blood, but she was still smiling, a smile that was not afraid of death.

She said intermittently: "If I... guessed correctly... you wouldn't... let me die... so soon..."

"After all... I am... the last... one... alive... of the Nangong clan..."

"This... is the reason why you spared my life... in the first place..."

"Uh uh..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuyuan tightened his grip instantly.

Nangong Liuli was pinched so hard that she couldn't speak. Veins popped out on her forehead and her eyes were bloodshot.

Just when she was about to feel death coming, Ji Wuyuan suddenly let go of his hand and threw her to the ground.

Nangong Liuli lay on the ground in a mess, gasping for breath...

This is what it means to try to get the skin of a tiger.

Although she almost died, she knew that she had guessed right.

Ji Wuyuan would not kill her.

Although she didn't know why he kept her alive, at least she had an extra bargaining chip to save her life.

Thinking of this, Nangong Liuli just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ji Wuyuan's cold and ruthless words: "I'm sparing your worthless life just to let you taste the feeling of lingering on and being bullied."

Nangong Liuli's round eyes were filled with hatred.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her with disdain, then suddenly chuckled softly, a laugh so creepy he said cruelly, "I think you and Marquis Anlin are a perfect match."

"Since you want to stay, I will grant your wish."

After saying that, Ji Wuyuan flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Nangong Liuli looked at his hurriedly leaving back, raised her hand to cover her neck, and a cold and vicious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She smiled, her eyes like poisoned swords: "Do you really think I'd be stupid enough to put drugs in the wine?"

"Hahaha, I put the drug on myself..."

"Ji Wuyuan, you are too concerned and you are still careless..."

"It's a pity that I only have this little bit of Hehuanxiang given by Baili Yuyan, otherwise..."

Sure enough, not long after Ji Wuyuan walked out of the side hall, he felt a sudden surge of heat in his body and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this time, Wang Fuhai hurried over. Seeing Ji Wuyuan sweating profusely, he hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

As he said this, he was about to help Ji Wuyuan to the side hall to rest.

Ji Wuyuan grabbed Wang Fuhai's arm tightly, his eyes anxious.

Wang Fuhai saw this and quickly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Imperial Concubine is fine and has returned to the main hall to wait for you."

After Ji Wuyuan discovered that something was wrong with the young eunuch, he sent someone to look for Jiang Wantang.

Although he knew that his Tang'er was very intelligent, he was still afraid of the worst.

But Ji Wuyuan didn't expect that he was careless.

Thinking of this, Ji Wuyuan's face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you plot against me? You really don't know how to live or die."

"Come here, take Nangong Liuli to the side hall where An Linhou is, and let her suffer the consequences of her misfortune..."

The palace servants received the order and went there immediately.

Ji Wuyuan sat upright on a low couch in the side hall, using his internal strength to suppress the evil fire in his body.

Wang Fuhai looked at Ji Wuyuan, who looked unwell, and said tentatively with some worry, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is looking for you. How about I send someone to invite her over?"

Ji Wuyuan closed his eyes and said calmly, "No need. Don't tell her, lest she worry."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Wang Fuhai's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "Maybe the imperial doctors are coming. I'll go and call them in right away."

A moment later, the people who came in were not the imperial physician, but several palace maids sent to deal with Nangong Liuli.

Several people knelt on the ground in panic, looking at each other in bewilderment, and then said, "Your Majesty, when we arrived, we saw the Liuli Saintess of the Southern Moon Kingdom walk into the side hall by herself and close the door..."

Ji Wuyuan slowly opened his eyes, and clarity returned to his eyes.

Listening to the palace servant's report, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, Ji Wuyuan didn't believe that a woman as arrogant as Nangong Liuli would really be willing to commit herself to an old man like An Linhou.

Otherwise, why would she go to so much trouble to drug herself?

Before Ji Wuyuan could speak, another palace servant came rushing in to report that a minister's wife had gone to change clothes when she discovered a man and a woman engaging in an indecent act in a side hall. A group of people had surrounded the side hall...
