Even though the emperor didn't really go in, Jiang Yi still felt his legs weak and he almost tripped over the threshold.
The emperor saw it, and suddenly stepped forward and picked the man up by the waist.
Even if the fastest way is taken, it would still take half an hour to get from the upper study to the inner palace gate. During this time, one would meet many people, but he just walked forward without caring about anything.
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then whispered to him, "Your Majesty, please put me down."
The emperor said, "No."
Jiang Yi was anxious, "Even if you don't care about anything, I can't."
"When the emperor favors his niece-in-law, it's romantic, but when it comes to his niece-in-law, it's dissolute."
“I don’t want to be called names by people.”
He sighed, "This is the first time I want to be nice to someone, to get close to someone, but you always push me away."
"Xiaoyi, is it my fault?"
"I think that no matter how bad I am, I am still better than the prince. But you are close to the prince, but not to me."
"You always avoid me."
"You make me confused and feel wronged."
"Tell me, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
The emperor's words sounded a bit bitter.
He put her on a stone bench beside him, squatted down and looked at her at eye level.
"You looked me in the eyes and said you didn't like me, that you hated me."
Jiang Yi turned away, but he forcefully pulled her eyes back.
Jiang Yi lowered his eyes, "Bento, I hate you."
The emperor chuckled softly, "When the late emperor and the empress dowager were at odds, he once told me that women are often two-faced. If you say you hate me, it means you love me deeply."
"The emperor is really shameless." She stabbed him.
The emperor smiled and said, "How can I embrace a beautiful woman if I am so thin-skinned?"
He pressed his large palm against the back of her head, their foreheads touching, his breath spraying on her face. He almost whispered, "I truly am a cold and aloof person. I refuse to waste even a fraction of my time on irrelevant people or matters. I'm not helping you get rid of all the people and things in the East Palace for nothing."
"You have received favors from me, so you are my woman."
"Jiang Yi, I want to tell you that the moment you leave the Eastern Palace, you belong to me from the inside out. Don't even think about running away, you can't."
The emperor's predatory nature was fully exposed.
Chu Xiaohe used to be indifferent to everything, because he never had to put in any effort to get what he wanted.
But Jiang had a different opinion.
She suddenly broke into his dream and never thought about taking responsibility for him.
She was like a cloud, like wind, like rain, making her hard to understand for him. He wanted to possess her, but was afraid of hurting her.
No one has ever put him in such a dilemma as Jiang Yi.
But the emperor knew clearly that there was a limit in his heart. If he exceeded this limit, even if Jiang Yi hated him, he would do everything he could to possess and plunder her.
And the emperor wanted to tell Jiang Yi this boundary.
If it wasn't necessary, he would have wanted Jiang Yi to be willing.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have responded like this.
But Jiang had a different opinion.
Jiang Yi sneered, "Your Majesty is a very high-sounding person. You keep saying you want to help me, but have I ever asked you to help me?"
"It was you who, for your own selfish desires, separated me from the Eastern Palace. You did it for yourself, but you claimed it was for me, attempting to kidnap me."
"But I, Jiang Yi, am not someone you can kidnap at will."
"I am a human being, a person of flesh and blood. I have my own will to do what I want to do, who I don't want to do, who I want to follow, and who I don't want to follow. Even if you are the emperor, you cannot force me."
"After all, I can't decide other things, but I can decide whether I live or die."
Her eyes were determined, as bright as the sun, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
The emperor's gaze couldn't help but become more obsessed.
As expected, she was the woman he had his eyes on, she was so different.
The emperor felt that he liked Jiang Yi even more. He actually felt like he had met his match in Jiang Yi.
It is rare to find a man in this world, let alone a woman, who is not threatened by power.
He couldn't even bear to let her bend over for him.
The emperor's gaze was filled with admiration. "Really? Is there no one in this world you care about?"
"If I threaten you with your parents' lives, what will you do?"
At this moment, the meaning of the emperor's words changed again. He was no longer as strong as before, but seemed to be teasing Jiang Yi.
The emperor had checked before and found out that Jiang Yi was the youngest daughter in the family and her parents treated her very well.
When Jiang Yi heard this, a hint of pain appeared in his eyes.
Because she is the youngest, her parents love her the most.
The year she first married into Prince Cheng's mansion, her father heard from somewhere that she was not living well in the mansion and even argued with Princess Cheng.
After that, her father was suppressed by King Cheng.
How can a small minister fight against a prince?
At that time, Jiang Yi understood one thing: power is greater than people.
Therefore, even if they have reasons, they can only be suppressed.
She began to report good news but not bad news.
Later, she was framed by Jiang Qin and the prince for adultery with the chief secretary and was imprisoned in the clan house. Her parents immediately severed their relationship with Jiang Qin. They went to beat the drum to report the incident and suffered fifty strokes of the cane on her already hunched body, thinking that this would give her a chance to speak.
But no, those people in the clan house made fun of her parents.
Her parents aged rapidly, and died instantly after hearing the news that she was going to be drowned.
Jiang Yi felt unwilling, firstly for her parents, and secondly for herself.
