Chapter 655 What makes you think you can compare to Li Rong?
As Xie Liangchen spoke, his expression was almost crazed.
He didn't really know what was wrong with him. At first, he hated her, but later he realized that he hated her for abandoning him. As long as she came back, everything would go back to the beginning, and all this pain would disappear.
“Anuan, come back. Do you know? These past few days, every time I think of Kyoto, I think of you. Now I have the ability to protect myself, and I also have the ability to protect you. Come with me, come back to my side, okay? We will both…”
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned, looking at Xie Liangchen in front of her with an almost obsessive expression, and for a moment she couldn't understand where things had gone wrong—it should have been that little girl Xuan Yue who was madly in love with him.
Logically speaking, Xie Liangchen should only focus on his career and not think about anything related to relationships, so why is he actually coming towards me now?
Jiang Nuanzhi took a deep breath and looked at Xie Liangchen in front of her: "I admit that the love between your parents and Li Sheng is admirable, but I, Jiang Nuanzhi, will never commit suicide for love!"
"No matter what happens, no matter who leaves, I will always move on with my life."
“If I am like this, then Li Rong will be like this too.”
“He has people he needs to protect! By protecting the people, he is also protecting me and our child; I have things I need to do, and what I am doing now is also protecting him and our child. We each have our own responsibilities, and that is our tacit understanding. I will never be the partner you expect.”
Xie Liangchen stared intently at Jiang Nuanzhi with his dark eyes for a long while before saying, "Jiang Nuanzhi, your coldness frightens me."
After saying that, he suddenly stepped forward and tried to grab Jiang Nuanzhi's wrist.
Jiang Nuanzhi narrowed her eyes: "If you dare come any closer, I'll beat you to a pulp. You don't believe me? Try me."
Xie Liangchen stopped, finally halting, and frowned as he looked at Jiang Nuanzhi: "With your clear head, you should know even more that it's time for you to choose sides."
Jiang Nuanzhi, you have no other choice!
Now that the young emperor has ascended the throne, and Li Rong has gone on a campaign with no certainty of whether he will return alive, the Empress Dowager must take over the reins of government.
You are so intelligent that you should be able to see clearly whose court will be in the future.
I am now the most trusted person by the Empress Dowager's side, and at the very least, I am guaranteed a noble title.
Staying with me is your best option right now. Otherwise, as a woman with a child, you can't protect your vast fortune, nor can you stand against Xiao Yuanshan.
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhi's tightly furrowed brows, Xie Liangchen's expression softened slightly, and he said again, "I'm not forcing you, but you should at least understand the situation. I'm waiting for you to come to me anytime!"
As he said this, he handed over a jade pendant.
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't even glance at him, narrowing her eyes: "So, Xie Liangchen, this is your real purpose today. You don't have any news about Ping'er at all. You're lying to me?"
Xie Liangchen smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I know his whereabouts, and he should be arriving in the capital in a few days."
Jiang Nuanzhi suppressed her anger and turned to leave.
The timing isn't right now; making a move rashly could easily arouse suspicion. Otherwise, she would have beaten him to a pulp.
However, Xie Liangchen felt that she was getting too big for her britches and suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Nuanzhi took a deep breath. It really was.
With a thud, Jiang Nuanzhi shoved Xie Liangchen off her shoulder and slammed him to the ground with a thud.
Snowflakes were falling, and the winter-crawling people who had rushed over were stunned. It was the first time they had ever seen the lady beat someone; she was truly something else.
Well, it was indeed quite frightening, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
Jiang Nuanzhi actually carried a hidden dart, but she didn't even bother using it against Xie Liangchen. She had gotten it from the old man yesterday; it was a deadly weapon. It was meant to be used where it was most needed.
However, Jiang Nuanzhi felt that her skills were sufficient to deal with such a sickly and powerful minister.
Xie Liangchen's handsome face was covered in snow stains. He didn't bother wiping them off, just stared blankly at Jiang Nuanzhi, almost in disbelief: "Jiang Nuanzhi, how dare you hit me? Do you know my current status?"
Jiang Nuanzhi squinted and stepped forward again. The scene of Afu being beaten in the past suddenly reappeared. Xie Liangchen instantly understood the coldness in her eyes and subconsciously covered his face: "You, don't be presumptuous. This is the palace. I really didn't mean anything by it."
Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly leaned closer, and Xie Liangchen's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Once again, he inevitably wanted to back away.
Jiang Nuanzhi grabbed his collar, her voice cold: "Xie Liangchen, I think you haven't grasped the situation yet."
"Who do you think you are? The Empress Dowager's most trusted advisor? Ha, have you forgotten that I am a close minister of the Emperor, a royal physician who can freely enter and leave the palace, and now a first-rank imperial consort!"
"You probably don't know this, but this morning after Li Rong set off on his campaign, the Vice Minister of Rites, Lord Wang, was just as disrespectful to me as you are now. He has already been buried."
"I personally saw him off on his journey."
Upon hearing this, Xie Liangchen's pupils constricted sharply: "Jiang Nuanzhi, you..."
"What about me?" Jiang Nuanzhi's voice was cold: "Even if Li Rong isn't by my side, so what? Compared to me now, you're nothing more than an ant that I can crush at will!"
What makes you think you can compare to Li Rong?
What makes you think you can compare to Le Rong?
"Xie Liangchen, I advise you to behave yourself!" Jiang Nuanzhi abruptly shook him off, clapped her hands, and gave him a cold glare.
"Hopefully, your empress dowager can truly protect you!"
Xie Liangchen stood there stunned, as if he were seeing Jiang Nuanzhi for the first time. He couldn't believe that these words came from Jiang Nuanzhi's mouth, especially since she had only been his maid before.
What went wrong? How could she do this? How could she do this? I am her former master.
As Jiang Nuanzhi was speaking, she suddenly saw a team of elite soldiers changing shifts. In particular, when she saw the face of the leader, her pupils shrank sharply.
"Dongzang, do you recognize that person? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
Dongzang followed Jiang Nuanzhi's gaze and looked over, his expression somewhat strange: "Isn't this Lin Zhong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards? Why is he here to guard the palace? Could it be that the Emperor transferred him here?"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked around in a daze, but Xiao Yuanshan's figure had disappeared again. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
He glanced back at Xie Liangchen in front of him and said, "Dongzang, knock him out, gag him, and throw him in a secluded place."
Xie Liangchen: "!!!"
"Jiang Nuanzhi, you... *sob*"
Dong Cang acted quickly; before Xie Liangchen could utter a single word, she had her mouth covered and was knocked unconscious.
She carried Xie Liangchen like a little chick, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
