Looking at the beautiful scenery before him, Jiang Chen felt his whole body burning.

A lustful heart invites a blade to the head!

Endure!

He had to endure!

With great difficulty, Jiang Chen pushed Xu Jiaying away, pretending to be indifferent as he said,

"I am the Son of Heaven, how could I quibble with a small woman like you?"

"However, there won't be a third time. If you don't change your ways in the future and offend my majesty again, I won't spare you!"

Xu Jiaying nodded obediently, not continuing to provoke Jiang Chen.

Noticing the woman's submissive attitude, a glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he said casually,

"Consort Xu, from now on, you will be my Noble Consort. As husband and wife, you can tell me about the arrangements that Old General Xu left in the army, right?"

"Now Mei Wenshi has a powerful influence. More than half of the officials in the court are headed by him, and my situation is indeed a bit difficult. However, if I can get the trump cards of your Xu family, it will be just around the corner to诛杀(zhusha - execute) this fellow and cleanse the court."

Xu Wanying listened carefully, and frowned at this time, sincerely saying, "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this."

"Moreover, I am just a woman and have no way to contact the army. If my father really left behind anything, according to the tradition of our Xu family being generals for generations, he would definitely pass the clues to the male offspring."

"After all, women are not qualified to go to the battlefield and bring glory to the family."

Jiang Chen stared at her, analyzing every expression and movement, trying to find traces of lying.

But Xu Jiaying was impeccable, without any abnormality.

Even when she said 'women cannot bring glory to the family', she revealed a bit of unwillingness and loneliness.

Could it be that Xu Da really left the 'trump card' to distant relatives?

It seems that the Xu family members in the royal estate, as well as Xu's former friends, must all be monitored.

After Jiang Chen made his decision, he prepared to leave.

His relationship with Xu Jiaying had just eased, and although this was only on the surface, he didn't want to break this harmony, so he didn't plan to continue pressing her.

There would be plenty of time in the future, no need to rush.

"I have noted this matter. It's getting late, you should rest. I'm leaving."

"By the way, I will urge the Ministry of Rites to expedite the imperial decree to make you Noble Consort, and I will give you a reply within three days. If you have any other requirements, you can report them to Feng Jin, and he will inform me."

"Finally, let me give you a piece of advice. Since you have chosen to stay by my side, you must abide by the rules of the palace. My tolerance is limited. Although I owe your Xu family, this does not mean that you can act recklessly and despise everything!"

"You, take care of yourself!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen flicked his sleeves and got up, about to leave.

But Xu Jiaying grabbed him, her delicate and sweet face with a hint of resentment.

"Aren't you staying with me?"

Jiang Chen was stunned, his mind in a mess.

What's wrong with this woman? Does she really want to be a favored concubine? Flattering her enemy?

Impossible, her character is so strong. After being imprisoned for several years, the first thing she did after being summoned was to assassinate him, the emperor. She is not the kind of woman who would succumb to wealth.

Jiang Chen's doubts were too obvious.

Xu Jiaying took the opportunity to wrap herself around him like a koala, humming and chirping,

"Since I am going to be a Noble Consort, I naturally have to be one in name and in reality!"

"If you refuse to stay overnight and don't favor me, then what's the point of me being this Noble Consort?"

Jiang Chen was aroused by her rubbing.

The steps he had taken subconsciously retracted.

But he was still wary of Xu Jiaying, suspecting her motives, so he hesitated to take the next step.

Xu Jiaying looked at him, narrowed her eyes, and brought her pink lips to Jiang Chen's ear:

"My innocence has been taken away by you. Even if I leave the palace in the future, no noble family will dare to marry me."

"And I am the嫡女(di nu - legitimate daughter) of the Xu family. If I were to condescend to those poor and humble families, it would be a disgrace to my Xu family! Now I am an orphan, and all my close relatives have passed away. Instead of dying miserably outside the palace, it is better to stay in the imperial city and enjoy the ultimate wealth... Moreover, this is what you owe me, isn't it?!"

Jiang Chen smiled.

Although reason told him that he should refuse to approach this flower with poisonous thorns and ensure his safety.

But Xu Jiaying's娇憨妩媚(jiao han wu mei - charming cuteness), unpredictability, was really勾人(gou ren - alluring).

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen pulled Xu Jiaying off his body, pinched her chin, and his aggressive gaze made people dare not look directly at him.

"Consort Xu, I am not convinced by you."

"But you are beautiful enough, interesting enough, I like you very much."

After saying that, Jiang Chen bent down and picked up the petite body horizontally.

The moment he held her, he was surprised to find that the seemingly innocent and sweet Xu Jiaying had a hot figure that would shame 90% of women.

Xu Jiaying felt the restless hands, a flash of fear flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it and let Jiang Chen do as he pleased.

"After tonight, you will have no chance to regret it. I will never let my woman wander outside."

Jiang Chen threw Xu Jiaying into the bedding, looked down at her, and solemnly warned.

Xu Jiaying raised her eyelids, her posture was charming and innocent, and she said disdainfully,

"Your Majesty, the spring night is short, so don't say so much nonsense!"

Jiang Chen's dignified expression shattered.

Was this woman looking down on him, questioning his ability?

This Xu Jiaying is really taking his tolerance for granted and constantly courting death! Daring to question his ability as a man, he must not spare her lightly tonight!

Flames ignited in his eyes, Jiang Chen pulled off his belt and pounced on her.

The moon was on the treetops.

Huaqing Palace was silent, and the guards outside the palace were patrolling with long knives.

Since discovering that the family members of guilty officials had sneaked into the palace, the defense measures of the emperor and the main palaces had been strengthened to the extreme.

In the palace guarded in the middle.

Sounds of muffled breathing came from behind the curtains, making people blush and heartbeat.

And accompanying the rise and fall of this most primitive rhythm, from time to time there would be a few soft sounds from inside the tent. The closed curtain was opened by a jade arm covered with red marks. It seemed that she couldn't bear it and wanted to escape, but was quickly caught by a big hand and pulled back...

The incense burner by the bed gradually went out until the sky turned white, and the sound inside the palace completely stopped.

At this time, even with Jiang Chen's physical strength, he felt a little sleepy.

He was in a very good mood tonight, and Xu Wanying's boldness and cooperation, and even initiative, made him enjoy it to the fullest!

Although he had a general impression of the outline of this young lady, he still felt shocked when he removed the obstruction and saw it with his own eyes.

Savoring it, Jiang Chen fell asleep.

In his arms.

Xu Jiaying's pink lips were red and swollen, her pretty face was stained with tears, and a pair of white wrists were full of finger marks.

She faced away from Jiang Chen, her eyes straight, staring at the mandarin ducks on the window curtain, and a look of self-mockery flashed across her face from time to time.

The person next to her pillow was the enemy who harmed her whole family!

But not only did she not take revenge, but she was also extremely贱(jian - cheap), shamelessly catering to him!

Xu Jiaying's eyes burst out with deep hatred, slowly scattering on the golden hairpin not far away...
