Jiang Yi ignored him and continued embroidering the sachet in her hand.
She thought that although he only asked her for one sachet, since she had nothing to do, she could make more for him.
He is the emperor, but in front of her he would humble himself and make her laugh.
He was truly the kind of man she had never met before. The more she got to know him, the more she felt that he had more shining qualities.
Her gloomy life took on a completely different color after meeting Chen Congzhao. In addition to revenge, she had other hopes in the future.
The thought of this filled her with joy.
Zhao Yu had been looking at her, and saw a smile suddenly bloom on her snow-white face, as if a pearl was haloed, and it became more and more radiant.
His heart suddenly started beating very fast.
He liked her quiet and beautiful appearance.
He spoke again, "But if you think of something interesting, why not share it with me?"
Jiang Yi didn't say anything and she also put away the smile on her face.
Perhaps they would be leaving soon, Zhao Yu was very patient at the moment and didn't think anything of it.
He knew Jiang Yi very well. Jiang Yi had only met two men in her past, and these two men had broken Jiang Yi's heart.
He is better than both of these men. He can even give Jiang Yi a legitimate status. It is impossible for Jiang Yi to be attracted to any man other than him.
"The Emperor promised me that as long as I defeat Prince Su this time, he will marry you to me, and you will be my concubine."
His eyes were gentle and affectionate, but Jiang Yi only heard the word "Emperor".
She said, "I will not be your concubine."
Zhao Yu didn't care. "As long as you always remain this gentle, pure, and beautiful, I will never get tired of you. You will always be my concubine."
Jiang Yi looked up suddenly. She probably understood that Zhao Yu was arrogant and never took her words seriously.
But she still wanted to say: "The prince rescued me from the brothel, and I am very grateful to him. That's why he deliberately let the prince consort in as a warning to me. I also told myself in my heart that you saved me once and hurt me again. So we both owe each other nothing."
Zhao Yu was shocked that she actually knew about Xu Youqi.
It was also the first time that he looked at Jiang Yi seriously.
He had never taken Jiang Yi seriously before. She was just an ordinary peasant woman from a small place. She might be a little pretty, but she was just a woman after all.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that she was actually quite smart.
But so what?
"Ever since the prince humiliated me in that way, it has been impossible for you and me to be together."
"There's no good start between you and me, so naturally there won't be any results."
"I, Jiang Yi, although I come from a humble background, will never commit myself to a man who despises and tramples on me, even if I die."
She sat there, her pair of white jade hands folded on her knees, her clear eyes looking straight at Zhao Yu. When their eyes met, she did not retreat at all.
This was the first time Zhao Yu had ever met a woman like Jiang Yi. She looked gentle and docile, as if she would let you do whatever you wanted, but she was actually stubborn at heart.
Zhao Yu didn't find it boring, and his desire to conquer was even aroused by it.
"So what's the point? As long as the imperial decree is issued, you will be mine from now on. Can you still resist it?"
He suddenly moved closer, pinched Jiang Yi's jaw, and wanted to kiss her.
But Jiang Yi seemed to react faster, and she slapped Zhao Yu without hesitation.
Her grip was quite strong, and Zhao Yu could feel the burning sensation on his face. He turned around and wanted to slap Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi just looked at him coldly.
Zhao Yu suddenly felt that he had no strength in his hands.
He said: "I don't hit women, but..."
He touched his cheek and said, "No one in this world has ever dared to hit me in the face. You are the first one. You will have to pay a price."
He leaned forward and said, "I was too nice to you in the past, that's why you are so arrogant."
Jiang Yi was a little scared now. She stood up and backed away.
She said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit the prince. I kneel down to you."
As she spoke, she was about to kneel down.
However, Zhao Yu forcefully pulled Jiang Yi up.
"How can a beautiful woman's legs be used for kneeling?"
He pressed forward until Jiang Yi had no way to retreat.
Zhao Yu leaned close to Jiang Yi's neck and sniffed it. He said with some fascination, "It was actually me who wasted this gift of nature in the past."
He moved closer to Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi could feel the man's increasingly heavy breathing.
In the past, Jiang Yi must have felt that his life was more important, and it would have been fine if his body had been eaten by a dog.
But now she is more than just herself. She wants to give the emperor a complete version of herself. She cannot let the emperor down.
She would rather pay with her life for this.
A look of pain suddenly appeared on her face. Zhao Yu realized something was wrong and hurriedly pinched Jiang Yi's jaw.
"Are you crazy? How could this prince disgust you so much that you would rather die than not?"
At this moment, Zhao Yu really felt frustrated.
Jiang Yi didn't want to die, but he had no choice.
Her mouth was filled with the smell of blood, but she said, "Yes."
Zhao Yu laughed out of anger, "What a steadfast and unyielding little woman."
"Aren't you steadfast? This prince will make you follow me willingly."
He hesitated, "I'll have someone bring your parents and siblings over. Their lives are in your hands. I believe you're smart and will make the right choice."
