When Xuanyuan Ye was young, he was orphaned and helpless. The servants around him did not serve him well. Fortunately, no one dared to slack off when it came to studying.
But there are many ways to torment people.
In order to prevent him from becoming a talent, after only one year of schooling, he accidentally obtained several books about demons and monsters from someone else.
The story inside was so captivating that he has never forgotten it.
When Xuanyuan Ye saw Jiang Tian in the Cold Palace that day, he later thought that he might have mistaken Jiang Tian for a spirit from the storybook, which is why he subconsciously approached her.
Their fate was something that Xuan Yuan Ye forced upon them.
To be honest, Jiang Tian hadn't done anything wrong to him.
He, however, couldn't let go and insisted on keeping her by his side.
After much back and forth, they ultimately couldn't keep her.
During the period immediately following Jiang Tian's "death," Xuan Yuan Ye nearly went mad.
Whether due to external forces or mental oppression, he suffered immense grief and pain, and ended up going blind.
If an emperor can no longer see, the foundation of the state will be unstable.
From the day he was secretly summoned, Liu Wensheng was so frightened that he didn't dare leave Xuanyuan Ye's palace.
He tried every possible method, and finally took a risky gamble, risking the heinous crime of plotting to murder the emperor, by forcibly pricking several dangerous acupoints on him with needles, causing Xuanyuan Ye to vomit several mouthfuls of blood before he was able to see again.
If Xuanyuan Ye hadn't kept a double who proved useful at a crucial moment, those ministers would probably have realized something was wrong long ago.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xuanyuan Ye couldn't stand anyone mentioning the name Jiang Tian.
It's quite tragic that after he conquered the Southern Kingdom, no one cared about the princess of that kingdom.
Upon learning of her passing, apart from the young eunuch who used to bring her meals secretly crying and burning paper money for her, no one else shed a single tear.
Someone like her, all alone, would not have survived this long unless she had a strong will.
Three years have passed, and everything has changed.
Xuanyuan Ye had suppressed that past event again and again, but when he saw this note, his eyes widened in fury!
Suddenly, he felt an excruciating pain in his chest, as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives!
In Anping County in the South, he almost immediately guessed her intention.
She's so smart, she must have expected this long ago. Unless something major happens, why would he, as the ruler of a country, go to a small county town in the south?
Moreover, that was the homeland of the woman he had killed.
Jiang Tian... Jiang Tian!
A metallic sweetness rose in Xuanyuan Ye's throat.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the few lines of text, his surging emotions making him look extremely terrifying.
a long time……
"Prepare the horses and head to Anping County immediately."
Several subordinates immediately cupped their hands and said, "Yes."
Meanwhile, in Anping County.
Today is a big day for the entire county.
Everyone knows that Boss Jiang is going to marry the county magistrate!
The magistrate said that every citizen who says a blessing today will receive one coin.
For impoverished commoners, a single penny is not something that falls from the sky.
They kept saying nice things to everyone, afraid that if they were too late, all the copper coins would be gone.
The whole county was bustling with activity. The county magistrate, riding a tall horse, saw that everyone on the street had happy faces, and his own face was filled with a triumphant smile.
He did not marry a woman from a prestigious family or a noblewoman, but she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.
The magistrate had already made his plans; once he married Jiang Tian, he would no longer allow her to go out and do business.
Don't think he doesn't know how many men have romantic feelings for Jiang Tian.
If it weren't for Jiang Tian's intelligence and his intervention, this woman would have long since become someone else's possession.
Having won the heart of his beloved, he naturally had to hide her away in a golden house, forbidding anyone to see her.
As for that brat, the magistrate didn't take him seriously.
The thought that other men had possessed Jiang Tian filled him with intense hatred.
He showed mercy and let Jiang Chen leave, which showed that he had taken pity on him.
There's no need to think about anything else.
Once Jiang Tian enters his home, he is confident that he will make sure that the mother and son can never contact each other again!
When Jiang Tian gives birth to their child, everything will be perfect.
The magistrate, dressed in a wedding robe, looked much more handsome than usual on this auspicious day.
Many people were making a fuss.
In their eyes, the county magistrate was a perfect match.
Mr. Jiang is truly blessed.
The wedding procession was accompanied by music and celebration, with the people following behind. They arrived at the gate of the Jiang residence with great joy.
According to the customs of the South, once the groom arrives, the bride should come out and get into the bridal sedan chair.
As the groom, the county magistrate had to personally knock on the door.
These rules must be followed; after all, they are rules to be followed.
The magistrate calmly dismounted from his white horse, a smile on his face, and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door opened.
Seeing Jiang Tian standing in the center of the courtyard in a bright red wedding dress, the magistrate's eyes lit up with amazement.
The other onlookers gasped in shock.
Everyone knows that Boss Jiang is good-looking; otherwise, why would anyone praise her as a fairy descended from heaven?
Now she is just like the poem describes: "Her face is as white as snow, and her lips are as red as pearls."
She is truly stunningly beautiful; who would have thought she is already over thirty?
Many thugs who had never seen such a beautiful woman were dumbfounded.
The magistrate's eyes burned with fervor, and he declared that his choice was correct.
He could certainly marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, but who could compare to her?
He had longed for this for years, and today his wish has finally come true.
The magistrate stepped forward, eager to take Jiang Tian's hand immediately and prevent others from seeing her.
However, at that moment, Jiang Tian took a few steps back.
"Please wait, sir."
At this point, someone finally realized something was wrong.
"Shouldn't the bride have her veil on? Boss Jiang doesn't even have anyone to serve him."
As others murmured, the magistrate suddenly looked up.
Sure enough, everyone around Jiang Tian had disappeared.
In the vast courtyard, she was the only one standing in the center.
A bad feeling was growing, but the magistrate still managed to remain calm: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Tian smiled slightly, her stunning beauty dazzling all who beheld her.
"My lord, without my consent, has been spreading rumors in the streets. He is determined to force me into marriage and to separate me from my child. I have been tossing and turning these past few days, unable to sleep, and I have no way to have the best of both worlds."
As soon as she said this, the crowd of onlookers all gaped in astonishment.
What did they hear? The magistrate forcing a woman into marriage?
The magistrate's face was extremely gloomy at this moment, and he immediately guessed Jiang Tian's intention.
No wonder there wasn't a single servant in the house; the clerks from Huichuntang and the pharmacy must have all left to take advantage of the commotion today.
It seems that her feigned flattery these past few days was merely a way to buy time.
"You're quite the schemer."
His sinister gaze ruined the magistrate's handsome appearance.
"Then tell me, if everyone else has managed to get away, how are you going to leave?"
