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

As soon as Xie Zhiyan let go, Jiang Wantang turned around and left without hesitation.

However, when she turned around, Xie Zhiyan suddenly chopped her neck with a knife.

Jiang Wantang's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

The moment she fell backwards, Xie Zhiyan reached out to catch her and gently held her in his arms.

It seems that only this way can stop her.

Xie Zhiyan lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Wantang, who had fainted in his arms, with a complicated expression. He felt distressed, helpless, and regretful...

Why are you so stubborn?

He is so stubborn that it makes people's heart ache.

The rain was still falling. Xie Zhiyan wrapped Jiang Wantang in his cloak, held her horizontally in his arms, and his figure gradually disappeared in the alley on the rainy night.

Changle Palace.

When Xie Zhiyan appeared holding Jiang Wantang, Xiuzhu and Yunshang were both surprised.

Xiuzhu, in particular, saw Jiang Wantang unconscious and thought that Xie Zhiyan had done something to her. He was about to take action but was stopped by Yunshang.

Yun Shang said, "Master Xie is not a mean person."

Xie Zhiyan didn't care about these. He handed Jiang Wantang to the two of them, then took out a small white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Shang.

He said: "This is a drug that makes people sleepy, and it has no harmful effects on the body."

Yun Shang was slightly startled, and then she saw Xie Zhiyan looking at her solemnly, and admonished: "If you want her to be safe, give her the medicine once every six hours."

"She was told to the public that she was ill and was avoiding visitors."

"Wait until these two days, when everything is settled, then you can."

Yun Shang held the porcelain bottle in her hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, sir!"

Xie Zhiyan didn't linger for long and said, "Take good care of her."

He turned and left, disappearing into the night.

Not far from Changle Palace, Ji Wuyuan stood there quietly, with Wang Fuhai holding an umbrella for him.

After standing there for a long time, Wang Fuhai couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you really not going to go in and take a look?"

After Jiang Wantang left in the rain, Wang Fuhai summoned the imperial physicians, but the result was that Changle Palace had driven all the imperial physicians out, saying that Concubine Jiang refused to see the patient.

Wang Fuhai had never seen anyone with such a stubborn temper.

Others would never be able to ask for such favor, but she just doesn't know how to appreciate it.

But not only did His Majesty not say anything, he even came in the heavy rain and stood outside the Changle Palace for a long time with his eyes wide open.

Ji Wuyuan looked towards the gate of Changle Palace, his eyes dark and deep, the expression in his eyes was gloomy and unclear: "No."

"She wouldn't want to see Gu right now."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

For some reason, Jiang Wantang's stubborn and cold face with red eyes kept appearing in his mind, and he felt indescribable annoyance and pain in his heart.

Everything is under his control, except Jiang Wantang.

He underestimated the extent to which he would be soft-hearted towards Jiang Wantang.

I originally wanted to play with her, but I never thought that I would take it seriously and fall in love with her.

Is he really just attracted by her beauty?

Before today, he did think so.

But now, Ji Wuyuan smiled bitterly...

Be soft-hearted once, and be soft-hearted every time.

So that it got out of control later.

If it weren't for Jiang Wantang's existence, according to his previous style of doing things, Jiang Huaizhou would have been a dead soul under the knife long ago.

Those in power never care about the truth, they only care about their own interests and results.

What's more, the Jiang family was already in his plan to be eliminated.

But in the end he still couldn't bring himself to be cruel to her.

He thought he could easily control the overall situation and play with people's hearts, so this time he was hit on the head with a heavy blow, which was heavy and painful.

Ji Wuyuan was born into a royal family and had few family ties. He had never experienced what it was like to be liked or loved, let alone empathy.

In their eyes, there are only power and interests, and only the most core interests can move them.

What is emotion?

To them, it is nothing more than the most useless thing.

He even felt that the blood flowing in their bodies was a bit colder than that of others, and was naturally cold to the bone.

People who are cold-blooded and indifferent by nature are actually unable to feel any attachment or warmth towards this world.

Like a lone wolf walking in the snow, he is cold-blooded and ruthless, with only the law of the jungle in his eyes.

However, after spending some time with Jiang Wantang, Ji Wuyuan suddenly felt that it would be nice if she could just stay by his side for the rest of his long and lonely life.

He didn't understand what love was, he only knew that anything he liked must belong to him completely.

For the first time in his life, he had the urge to keep someone by his side completely.

So, on this rainy night, Ji Wuyuan heard a voice mocking him in his ear: "You lose!"

Ji Wuyuan, you lost...

He had lost the three-month bet that he had despised, and lost it completely.

Ji Wuyuan loosened his fists, and a smile of bitter relief appeared on his handsome and charming face...

So he lost. It was his fault for underestimating his opponent.

Then, he smiled self-deprecatingly and turned away.

In the Cining Palace, the air is filled with the scent of sandalwood.

Inside the palace, candlelight flickered in the sound of wind and rain. Empress Dowager Qi, dressed in a gorgeous maroon dress, leaned leisurely on the beauty couch with her eyes slightly closed. A little palace maid beside her was gently massaging her legs.

Nanny Sun walked forward, leaned forward, and whispered something in her ear. Empress Dowager Qi opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them: "Are you serious?"

She straightened up, sat up straighter, and waved her hand to let the little palace maid leave.

Nanny Sun nodded and continued, "The man from Changle Palace knelt in the heavy rain for several hours, and His Majesty remained indifferent. It seems he is truly angry."

Empress Dowager Qi snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You are still too young. Do you really think you can charm an emperor with your beauty?"

"Little do they know that the emperor's favor is fleeting; it comes quickly and goes just as quickly."

"Out of control."

Nanny Sun echoed, "The Empress Dowager is absolutely right. In this harem, how can one keep a man for his beauty for long?"

"Empress Dowager, what should we do next..."

Empress Dowager Qi gently stroked the armor on her hand and interrupted her, saying, "Let's wait and see what happens. Give orders to have people keep an eye on every move in Changle Palace."

Nanny Sun replied, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

Empress Dowager Qi tilted her head slightly, a meaningful smile curling up the corners of her mouth. "Just because you've been favored for a few more days, have you forgotten who you are?"

"The turmoil in the harem has just begun..."

The next day, it was still cloudy and rainy.

Early in the morning, everyone in the harem heard that Concubine Jiang of Changle Palace fell ill due to being caught in the rain, but His Majesty didn't even ask a question.

The front of Changle Palace was deserted.

Just as she gained favor, she was abandoned by His Majesty. Jiang Wantang went from being a high-ranking favorite concubine to becoming a laughing stock in the palace in an instant...
