Bing Ding heard footsteps coming from the silent jungle and quickly poked Jiang Ziyi who was sitting on the ground.

"Hurry, hurry! Miss Jiang, go into the cave!"

Jiang Ziyi hurried into the cave. After Bing Ding waited for her to enter, he pretended to wrap the wrist-thick iron chain around her a few times.

As soon as the door was closed, Nangong Shuyan arrived in front of the cave.

Seeing Jiang Ziyi being locked up inside obediently with a look of aggrieved look on her face.

He said to Bing Ding, "You two go back first."

Bing Ding saw that Nangong Shuyan's expression seemed to have eased a lot at this moment, and Miss Jiang should not be in any danger, so he handed the key to the lock to Nangong Shuyan and left as he was told.

After Jiang Ziyi saw Bing Ding leave, Nangong Shuyan looked at her helplessly, and after a while he started to unlock the door.

Just when she thought Nangong Shuyan was going to let her out, Nangong Shuyan stepped in and locked the door from the inside...

"What are you doing?" she asked in confusion.

However, Nangong Shuyan did not answer her directly, but walked towards her slowly.

Feeling the pressure from Nangong Shuyan approaching, Jiang Ziyi stepped back unconsciously, and before she knew it, she had retreated to the corner of the wall with no way to retreat.

And because of the height difference, Jiang Ziyi had to look up at him at this moment.

At this moment, she felt that everything around her had become blurred. She could only see the pure darkness in the man's eyes, which was so deep that it seemed as if it could suck her entire soul in.

Nangong Shuyan put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

Jiang Ziyi was unexpectedly pulled into his arms.

He leaned his head over, and at such a close distance, Jiang Ziyi could even feel Nangong Shuyan's warm breath on her face.

"Why didn't you listen to me? Why didn't you wait for me in the alley?" came the man's slightly reproachful voice.

"I..." Jiang Ziyi was about to explain when Nangong Shuyan suddenly leaned over.

The bony palm supported the back of her head, and a domineering force instantly swept across her lips and teeth. Nangong Shuyan kissed her hard, as fierce as a hurricane entering the country.

Fortunately, Jiang Ziyi was fine. Fortunately, Jiang Ziyi was fine! Otherwise, he didn't know what would become of him!

Jiang Ziyi was exhausted from the kiss and wanted to escape. She twisted her body a few times, but she never expected that Nangong Shuyan would hug her even tighter and would not let her escape at all.

Only when Jiang Ziyi completely softened in his arms did he let her go temporarily.

"Do you know you're wrong?" Nangong Shuyan asked in a low voice.

"I know, I know." Jiang Ziyi begged for mercy repeatedly.

Seeing Jiang Ziyi surrender, Nangong Shuyan hugged her in his arms and let Jiang Ziyi's chin rest on his shoulder.

"I have asked the emperor for permission. The Jiang family will be cleared of all charges, and you will be my legitimate wife."

Jiang Ziyi's body trembled slightly.

She didn't expect that Nangong Shuyan could actually clear the Jiang family's grievances.

Moreover, he actually asked for permission from the emperor. Doesn't that mean... he is putting justice above his own family?

"What about Nangong Muyun?" she asked anxiously.

Nangong Shuyan, whose expression had just relaxed, frowned unconsciously again.

Jiang Ziyi actually dared to mention another man's name in front of him, and the name was the "big brother" he hated the most.

Feeling the man's hand around her gradually increasing in strength, Jiang Ziyi quickly said, "No, no, I mean, that guy Nangong Muyun deserves it!"

After listening to her explanation and seeing her anxious look, Nangong Shuyan couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Nangong Muyun is no longer Marquis Nangong. Don't worry. He colluded with the second prince to form an enemy country. There is evidence and witnesses. His Majesty has already revoked his title." He explained in a gentle voice.

"Your Majesty? Isn't Your Majesty seriously ill?" Jiang Ziyi raised his little head suspiciously.

She remembered that in her previous life, she seemed to have heard the news that His Majesty was terminally ill.

Nangong Shuyan shook his head. "Although His Majesty is ill, he is not truly bedridden."

"Your Majesty concealed this in order to uncover the person behind the scenes who was truly connected to the enemy nation. Nangong Muyun has now been imprisoned, and the Second Prince has also been placed under house arrest."

Jiang Ziyi nodded thoughtfully. No wonder Nangong Muyun also failed in his previous life.

It seems that His Majesty has personally calculated this.

After she figured it out, she stopped worrying about it.

She took the initiative to move closer to Nangong Shuyan and asked with a smile, "When are we going to get married?"

Now that all threats have been eliminated, she only needs to complete the final task and then she can leave.

"Once the imperial edict comes down, we will get married immediately."

But Nangong Shuyan's face was not entirely filled with joy; he even showed some hesitation and worry.

After thinking it over again and again, he finally spoke, "Ziyi, there is something I want to tell you in advance."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Jiang Ziyi looked up in his arms, her big eyes blinking.

"I...can't have children." Nangong Shuyan said this with great difficulty, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" (river).

"When I was young, the wife of the Marquisate poisoned my food."

Jiang Ziyi originally thought he was going to say something, but she didn't expect it to be this.

Isn't it just about the extinction of the family line? She knows this very well, and she came here specifically to save him!

She hugged Nangong Shuyan distressedly and said softly, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if we don't have children. We have each other."

Nangong Shuyan was deeply moved when he heard her words, and couldn't help but hug her tighter. "Ziyi, I will never let you leave me."

Jiang Ziyi was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Then he sighed helplessly in his heart.

She didn't have any deep feelings for this world, and she hadn't been here for very long, so she planned to leave after giving birth to the child.

But she still smiled and said, "Okay, we will never separate."

The system that had been silent in Jiang Ziyi's mind broke into a cold sweat after hearing her words. The host really dared to make a promise. The male protagonist in this life is a yandere!
