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

After saying this, Yun Shang stood up and blew out the candle in the bedroom.

The hall instantly became dark, with only a ray of moonlight coming in from the window, casting a light silver-white hue on the ground.

Yun Shang gently lay back on the couch. Soon, her breathing gradually became steady and she fell asleep.

At this moment, Jiang Wantang, who was lying quietly on the couch, opened his eyes. There was no sign of sleepiness in his dark eyes.

Yun Shang's careless words were like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves in her heart.

Jiang Wantang looked through the gauze curtain at the moonlight outside the window, her thoughts in turmoil.

I thought that if I didn’t see or think about others, my mind would be as calm as still water.

But after hearing about him, I couldn't remain calm...

Not only that, I feel guilty...

The next day, Ji Wuyuan publicly bestowed upon Lu Jinan the title of fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing and granted him a mansion in the court.

This news was like a thunderclap, suddenly exploding inside and outside the capital.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, it spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Being appointed as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple at such a young age and having a residence granted by the emperor himself was a great favor and honor. It meant that Lu Jinan had officially joined the ranks of the powerful in the capital and became a hot new upstart of the dynasty.

Those court ministers who originally wanted to marry their daughters to Lu Jinan were now even more eager to do so.

There are many outstanding young talents in the capital, but there are only a few who are the best in appearance and talent. Xie Zhiyan is definitely one of the best, but the Yong'an Marquis Mansion behind him is a century-old prestigious family with too high a status to be reached by everyone.

Therefore, Lu Jinan became the best choice.

When Jiang Wantang went to find Ji Wuyuan, he had just finished attending court.

She and Yun Shang stood on the palace wall, watching Xie Zhiyan and Lu Jinan walk out of the palace. A group of ministers crowded around them, congratulating them.

Jiang Wantang looked at Yun Shang beside him with a complicated expression in his eyes: "Have you...really thought it through?"

"Lu Jinan is no longer the same person he was before, and his future is limitless. You've worked so hard to get to where you are today, are you really going to give up like this?"

Yun Shang looked at Lu Jinan, who was the center of attention in the crowd, and smiled calmly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Yes, sister, I have thought about it a long time ago."

"After this trip south, I've let go of the past."

"Although he is innocent, there is too much distance between us and we can't go back..."

"From now on, he will go his way, and I will go mine."

Jiang Wantang looked at her in silence. After a long while, she finally sighed and said, "Never mind. No matter what choice you make, I support you."

Yun Shang raised her eyes, and looked at Jiang Wantang with a smile in her bright eyes: "I have a sister, that's enough."

"In this life, I am lucky to have my sister by my side."

The two stood on the palace wall and smiled at each other.

At this time, Xie Zhiyan and Lu Jinan, who were standing under the palace wall, looked up at the same time and looked at the palace wall in the distance.

........

Time flies, passing by in a flash.

A few days later, news came from the Nanyue Kingdom that the second prince Baili Yuyan had suddenly died when he was about to reach the border of Nanyue Kingdom, and even his body was eaten by wild dogs.

A most vicious and scheming power-grabber ended up with no remains left.

With the help of Ji Wuyuan, the eldest prince Baili Yufeng defeated his competitor, the third prince Baili Yuchen, and successfully ascended the throne of Nanyue Kingdom.

It was only rumored that his temperament became more tyrannical and cruel after he returned to Nanyue from Dasheng, especially after he ascended the throne, he was simply a licentious, cruel and inhumane tyrant.

On weekdays, he enjoyed torturing and killing innocent people. It was said that none of the women sent to sleep with him could come out of his bedroom unscathed.

The court officials and the people complained bitterly.

The entire Nanyue Kingdom was in economic decline, farmland was barren, there was widespread misery, and the people were living in dire straits.

Soon, the third prince Baili Yuchen and his court officials launched a coup to "kill the tyrant emperor and restore order in the court."

What was unimaginable was that when everyone found the tyrant Baili Yufeng, he was lying on the couch, thin, with sunken cheeks, and his body had been festering from the lower half, emitting waves of disgusting stench that filled the entire bedroom, making everyone almost vomit.

Only then did everyone realize that he was addicted to women and had contracted a terrible disease.

Some people say it is retribution, others feel it is very satisfying...

At this time, Nangong Liuli in the inn was in a good mood and was choosing wedding dresses in rows in front of her.

The wedding dress was sent by Jiang Huaizhou. The wedding was hasty, so everything was kept simple. The wedding dress and other wedding items were purchased directly from the ready-made clothing shops in the capital.

Nangong Liuli looked at the bright red wedding dress in front of her and raised the corners of her lips. Her already cold eyes were dyed with a bloodthirsty red because of the joy.

As she watched, she suddenly covered her mouth and giggled, her body shaking. Her pretty face looked sinister and hideous because of her viciousness.

Nangong Liuli gritted her teeth, enunciating each word as she muttered to herself: "Baili Yuyan is dead..."

"Baili Yufeng is also dead..."

"Then, the next one is you... Ji Wu Yuan."

........

After Baili Yufeng's death, the third prince Baili Yuchen followed the will of the people and ascended the throne as king.

After Baili Yuchen ascended the throne, he was suppressed by Ji Wuyuan from all sides.

He first extended an olive branch to Ji Wuwang, who was far away in the northern border, but the latter did not accept it.

It was obvious that he was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Ji Wuyuan.

The Nanyue Kingdom was in a state of disrepair, and Baili Yuchen had no choice but to submit a letter of alliance to Ji Wuyuan for the sake of the people of Nanyue and to stop the war, willingly submitting to become a vassal state of Dasheng.

All this happened only one month after Baili Yuchen ascended the throne.

In this way, Ji Wuyuan recovered the Nanyue Kingdom in a short period of time without spending a single soldier.

And with this turmoil, winter quietly arrived, and the world seemed to be shrouded in a layer of icy gauze...

Inside Changle Palace.

Jiang Wantang was wearing a crimson winter outfit, a snow-white fox fur coat, and holding the hot water bottle that Yun Shang had prepared for her.

She was standing in the corridor, listening to her subordinates reporting on the situation in Nanyue Kingdom.

Although the process was tortuous, the result was exactly what Jiang Wantang had expected.

As early as her trip to Jiangnan, when the Qi family colluded with the Nanyue Kingdom to act as accomplices to the evil in Jiangnan, she had already guessed that Ji Wuyuan would definitely take action against the Nanyue Kingdom.

Jiang Wantang stood there quietly, looking at the gray sky in front of him, with a thoughtful expression.

In the short two months before and after, what happened was not only the Nanyue Kingdom

Also, there was the marriage of her brother Jiang Huaizhou and Nangong Liuli last month.

Before the wedding, Jiang Huaizhou personally went to the palace to find Jiang Wantang and plead for the Jiang couple...
