But today, she had secretly kissed him with a bright smile.
Now that she knew that he used her, she became cold again.
“I’ll come out with you another day and have a good time,” Ji Wenyuan said to Xia Ling in a low voice.
As the emperor, it was very dangerous to leave the palace like this, especially now that the situation had just been set.
Xia Ling looked at him. “Let you use me again?”
Her phoenix-like eyes were clear and full of unspeakable ridicule.
Ji Wenyuan was speechless when she looked at him like this.
There were some things that he couldn’t control as emperor. If he couldn’t catch the hidden forces, then one day, this hidden danger would erupt and he might lose his life because of it.
“It won’t happen again,” Ji Wenyuan said solemnly.
He didn’t expect Ni Huang to be unwilling to go with the secret guard and let Princess Zhao Ning’s plan fall through.
Ni Huang…
She liked him, so she refused this chance to reset her position.
Although he imprisoned her, she actually had the intention to escape and reset her position, didn’t she?
They passed through the market and got into the carriage.
Along the way, they were separated by more than a person.
She walked in front while he followed behind, but she was unwilling to stand beside him.
Even when they got into the carriage, her expression was still indifferent.
Looking at her, Ji Wenyuan felt frustrated that he couldn’t catch her.
“Nihuang, when we return to the palace, I’ll make you queen, okay?”
The sound of the carriage rumbled. Xia Ling raised her eyes.
On the woman’s fair face, the curved lips still had a faint smile.
Following this topic, she asked:
“To be your empress, in your entire life, I will be the only one in the harem; no more concubines?”
Ji Wenyuan was stumped by the question.
As an emperor who had just ascended the throne, there were many forces that needed his comfort and reward.
Especially the governor of Huguang’s Princess.
He had planned with her, originally using the position of empress as an exchange.
But he didn’t expect that Ji Wenyuan would rebel ahead of time, leaving the imperial city empty.
After boasting for two years as the prime minister, this power struggle was easily controlled by Ji Wenyuan.
The rebellion was much simpler than he had imagined.
The princess of the governor of Huguang did not come in handy. Even if he did not give her the title of empress, Ji Wenyuan would still give her the title of a noble consort and marry her into the palace.
If Ni Huang was the only one in the harem, it was absolutely impossible.

Seeing that he was silent, Xia Ling was calm.
She smiled and looked at him.
“No, is that so?”
Ji Wenyuan’s eyes were as deep as the sea. “When Your Majesty was the emperor, I was the only one in the harem. Why would you make things difficult for me?”
“Make things difficult?” Xia Ling raised her eyebrows and her smile suddenly brightened. “Second brother Ji is a strategist and has never made a mistake. How can you say that I am making things difficult?”
“I said I was going to call that Jade Bamboo to sleep with me because I wanted to anger someone. When second brother Ji ascended to the throne, he must have found out the truth about this matter.”
“Are you using this matter to talk to me now?”
The woman’s clear and pleasant voice was faint and calm.
She was still wearing the green robe she wore when she left the palace, and her face was painted yellow.
When she left the palace, Ji Wenyuan felt that she still looked very beautiful in this way, and it warmed his heart.
But now, the two of them were in the same carriage.
The woman spoke to him in such a casual tone.
It was as if everything that had been whitewashed had been torn to shreds.
She had seen through everything about him and acted out another act of love with him.
Now that the play had ended, she naturally revealed the coldness of her heart. It was as if her liking for him was also an illusion.
Looking at her, Ji Wenyuan’s eyes darkened. “Nihuang, I don’t want to talk about this with you anymore.”
