Fei Leng's expression changed immediately upon seeing Jiang Jingyue's action.
He looked extremely unsightly as he stared at Jiang Jingyue and asked in a cold voice.
"Xiao Jing, what do you mean by this? Don't you like being with me?"
Seeing Fei Leng's expression, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but find it amusing. She glanced at him and burst out laughing.
Her bright smile almost dazzled Fei Leng's face. He looked at Jiang Jingyue, his eyes darkening slightly. He suddenly grabbed Jiang Jingyue's hand and quickly walked towards the Imperial Study.
Jiang Jingyue wouldn't let him hold her, but she didn't say it was impossible to pull her along, so Fei Leng subconsciously pulled Jiang Jingyue along.
Fei Leng was walking too fast for Jiang Jingyue to keep up. Seeing Fei Leng walking so fast, Jiang Jingyue immediately shook off his hand.
With his hand shaken off, Fei Leng became even more certain that Jiang Jingyue didn't want to be with him at all, and his heart began to race.
He remembered that Jiang Jingyue was not like this at all last night!
"Xiao Jing, what's wrong with you? I was wrong, please don't be like this."
As the ruler of a nation, this was the first time he had ever been so humble. He hoped that Jiang Jingyue could forgive him, even though he didn't know what he had done wrong.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Jingyue immediately asked him a question.
"Your Majesty, do you know what you have done wrong, and why I am suddenly treating you this way?"
Fei Leng subconsciously shook his head. Seeing that Jiang Jingyue's expression suddenly turned sour, he became even more anxious, but he really didn't know why Jiang Jingyue had suddenly become angry.
With no other option, Fei Leng could only look at Jiang Jingyue and ask with a puzzled expression.
"Xiao Jing, can you tell me what I did wrong? I really don't know."
Jiang Jingyue stared at him for a long time, seeing his blank expression, as if he really didn't know what was going on.
Jiang Jingyue felt somewhat helpless seeing him like this.
"Your Majesty, do you know that I still present myself as a man to the outside world? What if someone with ulterior motives saw the way Your Majesty just treated me?"
Although there was indeed no one there just now, what if there was?
"And Your Majesty, I didn't like how you pulled me like that. My hand hurt a lot when you pulled me like that. Look, it's all red."
After Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she raised her hand so that Fei Leng could see her reddened arm.
Fei Leng's heart skipped a beat when he saw it. He hadn't expected that his simple pull would cause Jiang Jingyue's hand to turn out like this.
Looking at her reddened arm, Fei Leng immediately felt guilty.
"Xiao Jing, I didn't mean it, I didn't expect this..."
What Fei Leng said next left him somewhat at a loss for words.
Jiang Jingyue looked at Fei Leng, her eyes slightly red.
“It’s all the Emperor’s fault. The Emperor doesn’t care about me at all. The Emperor thinks that I’m a very casual person. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn’t treat me like this.”
Jiang Jingyue's tears immediately slid down her cheeks, and seeing her like this made Fei Leng even more helpless.
"Xiao Jing, you...you don't cry! I won't do it like that again. I'll be more careful in the future and won't cry."
Fei Leng reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of Jiang Jingyue's eyes with a touch of heartache. Looking at Jiang Jingyue who was still crying, Fei Leng blurted out.
"Xiao Jing, if you keep crying, I'm going to cry too."
"Pfft!"
Seeing that Jiang Jingyue finally smiled, Fei Lengxin suddenly landed on the ground.
Unbeknownst to them, under a large tree behind them, a maidservant was intently watching the scene unfold. When she saw Fei Leng pulling Jiang Jingyue toward the Imperial Study, the maidservant waited for quite some time before daring to emerge from behind the tree.
As soon as she came out, she ran to the Empress's palace as fast as she could to tell the Empress the news.
Wu Jing was already in a bad mood because she was under house arrest, so when she saw her personal maid rushing in so hurriedly, she immediately yelled at her.
"Chunhua, what kind of behavior is this, rushing around in such a panic?"
Seeing the Empress's state, Chunhua took a breath and then looked at Wu Jing and spoke.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! This servant...this servant just saw the Emperor and the young marquis...they..."
The servant girl couldn't quite bring herself to say what came next. For a moment, she didn't know what to say, perhaps because she was nervous, so her words came out haltingly.
When Wu Jing heard that it was about the Emperor, she immediately sat up straight and looked at Chunhua.
"What did you see? What's wrong with the Emperor and the young marquis? Has something happened? I'll go see the Emperor right now."
Seeing Wu Jing's anxiety, Wu Mama, who had been standing beside her without saying a word, immediately pulled her aside.
"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Listen to what Chunhua has to say first. It's not necessarily that something has happened to the Emperor. You are still under house arrest and cannot act rashly, Your Majesty."
Wu Jing finally realized that she had been confined to her quarters by the Emperor, and even if she wanted to go out, she had no way to do so.
Thinking of this, Wu Jing's expression turned sour. She looked at Chunhua and spoke in a cold voice.
"Speak! Tell me what happened, what you saw, and don't make me ask any more questions."
Seeing the Empress's serious expression, Chunhua took a deep breath before slowly speaking.
"Your Majesty, when I returned just now, I saw Your Majesty and the young marquis..."
At this point, Chunhua paused subconsciously, took another breath, and then spoke.
"This servant saw the Emperor kissing the young marquis!"
"Smack!"
It was the sound of something breaking, I don't know, but it was really loud.
Upon hearing this voice, Chunhua didn't dare to move at all, not even daring to raise her head.
She was afraid. No one knew the Empress's ruthlessness better than her. If the Empress was unhappy, she liked to beat and scold the maids around her. Chunhua was already used to it.
She knew that in this situation, the best thing to do was not to speak, and that way the Queen might not even notice.
When Wu, the old nanny next to the Empress, saw the Empress break a flowerpot with her bare hands and her hands were still bleeding, Wu was heartbroken. She immediately ran to the Empress's side and took her hand.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? You are not the one who did wrong. As for that young marquis, he must have seduced the Emperor. Otherwise, why would the Emperor touch a man?"
