He bit the tender red breasts hard, and the slender white legs hanging in front of the dragon table swayed. The suppressed moans spread in her throat, causing the emperor to try harder to please her.
Naturally, no one outside could hear anything, but the emperor seemed to be possessed by a demon, tossing Jiang Yi over and over again, as if he was proving something to the outsiders.
Jiang Yi was completely deflated. A man's heart is like a needle in the sea. She shouldn't just listen to his superficial opinions.
After a long while, the man touched Jiang Yi's delicate cheek contentedly and said, "You must be exhausted. Just take a rest in the inner room for a while. You can have lunch here with me before going back."
Jiang Yi really had no strength left, so he agreed.
She took a nap in the inner room and soon fell asleep.
The emperor summoned Xu Youqi in. The lingering smell of love in the hall was particularly obvious. Xu Youqi looked at the emperor again. The emperor's robe was loose, and there were obvious scratches of a woman on his exposed chest.
Xu Youqi felt a pang in his heart. Wasn't the emperor incompetent? Did Fengyang lie to him?
No, the emperor must have used other methods to satisfy Jiang Yi, but the emperor still couldn't do it.
Thinking of this, Xu Youqi breathed a sigh of relief.
The two talked about business for a long time. After Xu Youqi went out, he was eager to see Jiang Yi.
He went to the Yao Chi Palace where Jiang Yi was, but Jiang Yi never came back.
She had actually been staying with the emperor all this time. What could the two of them do together? Xu Youqi found himself uncontrollably angry and fuming.
He didn't divorce her, so she was still his wife. How could she do anything to let him down?
He must see Jiang Yi today.
Xu Youqi then waited for Jiang Yi on the road between the Council Hall and the Yaochi Palace.
Jiang Yi took the sedan chair back home after lunch, but on the way, a wild cat suddenly jumped out and ran quickly into Jiang Yi's sedan chair.
Jiang Yi was afraid of cats and came out of the sedan in a state of shock.
The palace maids were busy catching the cat. Jiang Yi was behind them, her face pale and her hair disheveled. The wind blew up, and she became more and more at a loss. She took light steps, which made her slender waist look even more fragile.
Xu Youqi watched quietly in the dark, vaguely recalling Jiang Yi many years ago, who looked so pitiful and helpless.
At that time, Jiang Yi said that her mother wanted to sell her to an old man, and she said she didn't want to live anymore.
He looked at Jiang Yi who was so broken, and his heart suddenly ached.
He couldn't bear to watch Jiang Yi die, couldn't bear to watch Jiang Yi marry an old man, so he said impulsively: "I will marry you."
That was the only frivolity he had in his youth.
He couldn't bear to see her cry or feel sad, but now, seeing her so weak, he felt a strange excitement in his heart.
But on the surface, he was still the modest gentleman Xu Youqi. He took advantage of the chaos and suddenly reached out to pull Jiang Yi's body behind the red wall.
He covered Jiang Yi's lips and said, "I just want to say a few words to you, can you please stop shouting?"
Jiang Yi blinked, and Xu Youqi took a step back.
Because of the shock just now, there was still a little moisture in her eyes. She just looked at Xu Youqi without blinking. There was anger and resentment in her almond-shaped eyes, which turned into deep grievance.
She looked at Xu Youqi with her watery eyes. She said nothing, but it seemed as if she had said a lot.
Xu Youqi suddenly felt like escaping.
He calmed himself down before continuing, "When I first arrived in the capital, I met the princess. She was of noble birth and threatened my parents' lives and yours to force me to submit. For your sake, I had no choice but to endure humiliation. But you must believe that I love you, and I will return to you one day."
There was such deep affection in his eyes.
Jiang Yi looked at him with suspicion.
"Don't look at me like that." Xu Youqi stretched out his hand and covered her eyes. "Just believe me."
"The palace is very complicated and not suitable for someone as simple-minded as you. The emperor is useless and cannot protect you. Listen to me. After the Queen Mother's birthday, I will arrange for you to leave. Wait for me. When I have finished everything here, I will come to find you. Then..."
Jiang Yi finally spoke. She said, "Not long ago, in the Zhao family's mansion, you wanted to kill me. How can I trust you?"
Xu Youqi was even more excited. He knew that Jiang Yi gave herself to the emperor only because she hated him and wanted to take revenge on him.
She did not fall in love with the emperor.
He calmed himself down and said, bewildered, "When did I ever intend to kill you? Not to mention going to Zhao Yu's house. Could this all be a staged play between the Emperor and Zhao Yu, just to make you hate me?"
"You may not know that there is a technique called disguise in this world."
He was a talented scholar who could tell lies without hesitation and his words sounded so confident.
If Jiang Yi had not seen through him long ago, and if Jiang Yi had just arrived in the capital from Duan County, he might have been deceived by his words.
He continued, "The princess is unruly and headstrong. I only have disgust for her. She is not even half as good as you. I can't give you a name for now, but my heart is yours. Follow me, and I won't let you suffer any injustice."
"Now that I have the means, I can buy you a large mansion and a few servants. You don't have to do anything. Just tend to the flowers and plants in your spare time. Xiaoyi, is that okay?"
This was the promise Xu Youqi once made to Jiang Yi. He said that when she graduated from high school, he would buy her a big house so that she wouldn't have to do anything and could just enjoy herself every day.
