Jiang Yuetong pursed her lips: "The cold poison has been suppressed, but you're acting strangely. There must be something you haven't told me."

At this point, Jiang Yuetong paused before continuing, "Also, you haven't gotten up in the mornings these past few days. You used to get up early even if you slept in the latest."

Upon hearing this, Lü Jingliang felt a slight tightness in his heart.

He remained calm and composed, saying, "Madam is overthinking it. I just had nothing to do and was so bored that I wanted to lie down for a bit."

Jiang Yuetong didn't believe him at all: "Huanhai Prefecture is so big, you couldn't see it all even if you spent a month exploring it. Besides, you can go out and walk around, how could you be bored?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Jingliang sighed slightly: "I'm not interested in these things."

Jiang Yuetong frowned slightly: "Then what do you want?"

At this point, Lu Jingliang's malicious gaze moved down her body, and when Jiang Yuetong saw this, she involuntarily gripped the blanket in front of her chest.

Lu Jingliang spoke slowly in a hoarse voice: "Madam has so many things to do every day. Even if I wanted to follow you, I was afraid it would disturb you."

That leaves me with only the interest of making medicine, but unfortunately, my wife doesn't drink those tonics, so making more would just be a waste.

Jiang Yuetong: "..."

Is it my fault?

She didn't want to drink such bitter medicine, even though she was sick.

Jiang Yuetong secretly rolled her eyes at him and slowly said, "Actually, you can come along. No one said you would bother me."

This is her territory, and everyone here is her subordinate. Anyone who dares to utter a word of criticism will be thrown into the Nine Demon Tower.

Besides, the people who have been staying here all this time are usually tight-lipped, so how could they possibly gossip about him?

However, the situation may not be the same in the other two states.

Upon hearing her words, a glint of light flashed in Lu Jingliang's deep eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Then, in what capacity should I appear beside Madam? Hmm?"

Seeing his almost triumphant look, Jiang Yuetong raised her pretty eyebrows slightly.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "So, you mind being called a gigolo, that's why you don't want to go out?"

Lu Jingliang didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to her. If that's how she interpreted it, that's fine. As long as she doesn't suspect anything is wrong with him anymore.

Seeing this, a look of relief appeared in Jiang Yuetong's eyes.

Is that really the case?

She would tell her directly that it wasn't true, but since Lü Jingliang refused to tell her, she wouldn't continue to ask.

She turned her head and snorted coldly: "Back when I was in the Demon Clan, everyone said I was not good enough for the Demon Emperor, but in the end I still shamelessly followed you."

If I had been like you back then, not wanting to leave the house because of rumors, we might never have gotten married.

Lu Jingliang leaned closer, looking nervous: "No, no, you are the wife I've chosen, and we will get married no matter what."

Jiang Yuetong was puzzled by his words and reached out her slender, fair hand to cup his cold, handsome face: "Are you so sure?"

Their eyes met, and a dark light flickered within those dark eyes.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

Jiang Yuetong smiled slightly, tilted her head back and moved closer to him little by little. Just as she touched his slightly cool lips, she turned her face away, her warm breath brushing against his ear.

"Today... I'll stay with you."

...

Noon.

Jiang Yuetong held Lü Jingliang's hand as they walked down the bustling street, creating a sense of tranquility and peace.

"roll!"

"Get out of the way!"

A group of people rode on celestial beasts, weaving swiftly through the crowd, shouting that they shouldn't waste their time.
