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

Chapter 426 Return to the Palace

Ji Wuyuan recuperated for a few days, and then they all set off to return to the palace.

Before leaving, Shi Lin wanted to hand over the Northern Territory to Jiang Wantang as Ji Wuwang had instructed.

Uncle Snake, who was previously arranged to pick us up, also arrived at the foot of the mountain of Foguang Temple a few days ago.

However, the temple was surrounded by Ji Wuyuan's men, so in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not show up.

Inside the Zen room, Shi Lin looked at Jiang Wantang, who was wiping Ji Wuwang's face, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Miss, the master has already arranged a retreat for you. Our people are waiting for you at the foot of the mountain..."

"If you want to leave now, there's still time."

Jiang Wantang wrung out the handkerchief in her hand, looked at Ji Wuwang who was still sleeping, and said in a light tone: "No need. After I return to the palace, I will trouble you to take good care of him here."

Shi Lin pressed on again, not giving up hope: "We are confident that we can rescue you. Miss, are you really... not going to leave?"

Jiang Wantang nodded, his tone calm and firm: "I'm not leaving. Thank you very much for your help this time. If you need anything in the future, please let me know."

She had promised Ji Wuyuan that as long as he was willing to use his own blood to save Ji Wuwang's life, she would willingly stay in the palace and stay by his side.

He did it, so she couldn't go back on her word.

Shi Lin leaned forward and said, "Miss, please don't bother us. Your business is our business. The master said that he would hand over the northern border to you..."

Jiang Wantang interrupted, "He will definitely wake up. The Northern Territory is his life's work, I can't take it away."

Her attitude was very firm in her words.

Seeing this, Shi Lin didn't say anything more.

After a simple farewell, Jiang Wantang walked out of the Zen room. She wanted to say goodbye to Xie Zhiyan before leaving, but she walked around the backyard and did not see Xie Zhiyan.

After asking the Imperial Master, I learned that Xie Zhiyan had gone down the mountain early yesterday due to some matters.

Jiang Wantang said nothing more and walked towards the backyard door. As he reached the door, he paused slightly.

Ji Wuyuan, wearing a dark gold dragon robe and a black cloak, was standing outside the backyard door with an upright figure.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Jiang Wantang always felt that Ji Wuyuan had changed a lot during these days in the temple, and had become less gloomy and paranoid.

Hearing the noise, Ji Wuyuan turned around.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and although they were only a few feet away, they seemed as if they were worlds apart.

Ji Wuyuan knew very well that he might not be the knot in Jiang Wantang's heart, but Ji Wuwang must be it now.

He remembered what the Imperial Master had asked him in the Zen room a few days ago.

The Imperial Master asked him, "Do you regret having caused this situation?"

He said he had no regrets.

Because he knew that if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to keep her.

Thinking of this, Ji Wuyuan's eyes darkened a little.

Jiang Wantang stood at the door of the backyard, wearing a plain dress and a white fox fur coat. She was quiet, like a fairy in a painting, except for the plain hairband on her head fluttering in the wind.

The two men, one black and one white, both have outstanding appearances.

One stood inside the yard, the other stood outside, looking at each other...

Ji Wuyuan smiled and broke the silence first: "I'm here to pick you up."

After saying that, he extended his hand towards Jiang Wantang.

Jiang Wantang didn't say anything, nor did she refuse. She put her hand on Ji Wuyuan's hand.

Afterwards, the two of them boarded the imperial carriage hand in hand.

The group came down the mountain in a mighty procession and headed towards the capital.

Outside the capital, Xie Zhiyan, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others were riding on horseback, hiding in an inconspicuous and remote corner, watching the imperial carriage enter the city.

Zhao Hu asked, "Didn't they say that they found information about Young Master Jiang in the south and that we should set off quickly?"

"Why are you coming back again?"

Zhang Long's expression grew more serious, and he spoke up, "Master, Miss Jiang has made up her mind to return to the palace. Should we continue investigating what we were doing?"

Xie Zhiyan looked at the imperial carriage that gradually disappeared from his sight with a deep gaze, and said lightly: "Even if I don't investigate, she will definitely investigate this time."

"In that case, instead of giving up halfway, I might as well help her one more time."

The carriage slowly drove into the bustling streets of Shengjing City. Although it was the coldest time of the year and there was still some snow on the streets that had not completely melted, the streets were bustling with activity because the New Year was approaching.

Although it was an imperial carriage, it was not the one used exclusively by the emperor when leaving the palace. Therefore, when the common people on the street saw such an exquisite and luxurious carriage, they just thought that it was some high-ranking official in the capital going out.

Inside the imperial carriage, Ji Wuyuan was dozing with his eyes closed. Jiang Wantang lifted a corner of the window, looked at the bustling scene outside, listened to the laughter of the people, and was lost in thought for a moment.

The Emperor and Empress were married, the Empress murdered the Emperor, and despite such a huge situation, not a single rumor spread in the capital...

Jiang Wantang knew without hesitation that it was Ji Wuyuan's thundering method that silenced the gossips.

Under the power of the powerful, we are all ants.

At this time, Ji Wuyuan noticed Jiang Wantang's actions and opened his eyes.

Seeing her lost in thought, he smiled gently and said, "Is there anything Tang'er likes?"

"I asked Feiyu to buy it."

Jiang Wantang shook her head and said, "No, I was just curious."

Despite this, Ji Wuyuan still asked Feiyu to buy it.

Feiyu had followed Ji Wuyuan for many years and had excellent eyesight. On the way back to the palace, he bought everything that Jiang Wantang looked at for a second.

Jiang Wantang didn't lower the curtain until the majestic gate of the imperial palace gradually appeared before her eyes.

The palace gate opened, and soon the emperor entered the palace. The palace roads that were covered with blood that night, and the strong smell of blood, had now been completely renewed, without any trace left.

It seemed like...that night was just a nightmare for Jiang Wantang.

The imperial carriage stopped in front of Taiji Palace, and Wang Fuhai led a large group of palace servants to greet him.

When everyone saw the imperial carriage, they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, please welcome the Queen back to the palace!"

Immediately afterwards, Ji Wuyuan came out of the imperial carriage holding Jiang Wantang's hand.

The crowd shouted again: "Long live His Majesty! Long live the Empress!"

Ji Wuyuan raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.

Jiang Wantang stood in front of the Taiji Palace but did not go in.

Ji Wuyuan turned around and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Why doesn't Tang'er leave?"

Jiang Wantang looked at him calmly and said in a light and direct tone, "Your Majesty, I do not want to live in Taiji Palace."
