Madam Jiang couldn't bear to part with her own daughter, so she sent Jiang Jingyue over instead.
Even though she knew the regent was tyrannical and cruel, she still showed no pity and sent Jiang Jingyue over without any mercy.
When Jiang Jingyue woke up and learned how brutal the man in front of her was, she was still shocked.
She strongly demanded a change of person, and the system outwardly agreed, but these tasks were all bound to the first target, so there was no way to change it. Therefore, he could only give Jiang Jingyue a perfunctory answer.
Looking at the person who came to her, Jiang Jingyue realized that she had been deceived by the system.
"Tongzi, how could you deceive someone as beautiful and kind as me? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Jiang Jingyue cursed the system for a while, but the system still didn't respond to her. Jiang Jingyue knew that this stupid system was a bit unreliable.
"Young lady, our Regent has taken a liking to you. Please come with us."
Faced with so many tall and burly soldiers in front of her, would Jiang Jingyue dare to disobey?
She didn't dare at all; she was a coward.
At this moment, Jiang Jingyue's eyes immediately revealed a perfectly timed smile. She looked at the soldiers in front of her, her cheeks flushed slightly, and said to them somewhat shyly.
"Are you sure the Regent has taken a liking to a little kid like me, and not these older sisters next to him?"
When Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she pointed to the person next to her.
Those she pointed to were startled and waved their hands, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at the soldier in front of them.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense. The Regent doesn't like our type. The person she likes is you. You should go back with them quickly."
From now on, you will be the Regent's Consort; wealth and honor await you.
Seeing how frightened these people looked, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but feel a little panicked herself.
She could accept it if one person was scared, but the problem was that when she looked around, all the people in front of her had expressions of terror in their eyes.
"Tongzi, get out here right now! Are you sure he's such a terrifying person? If I become his wife, won't I be crushed like an ant?"
This time, the system surprisingly responded to Jiang Jingyue.
"Host, don't worry! Our male protagonist has a moral bottom line. The people he killed were not good people either. He won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. You can rest assured about that."
Upon hearing this from the system, Jiang Jingyue felt a sense of relief, though she was still somewhat worried.
Because this regent was even more terrifying than she had imagined.
When Jiang Jingyue was brought before the Regent, her legs trembled slightly, her eyes darted away, and she didn't dare to look directly at the person in front of her.
Just as Jiang Jingyue was wondering what to do, a deep voice rang in her ear.
"Why are you looking down? Are you too ugly to be seen by others? Look up and look at me."
A pleasant voice doesn't necessarily mean pleasant words.
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
She thought that Emperor Wu of Han could see through all her little tricks.
Ha, rolling your eyes at him? How interesting, how really interesting.
This was the first person he had ever met who dared to make an indecent gesture in front of him, and he instantly became interested.
"Alright, tell the Emperor that I have found the right person, so he doesn't need to worry about me anymore. I am truly grateful to him."
"This woman will do. She certainly suits my taste. She's the one. Take her with you, we're going back to the palace."
The servant standing next to Zou Hanwu couldn't help but glance at the little bean sprout in front of him.
He looked at his regent with some disbelief and couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, are you sure you want this woman to be your queen? Why don't we choose again? This woman doesn't look like she'll bear children easily."
The moment the servant beside the regent uttered those words, he was glared at by the regent.
Those who knew of the Regent's cruelty immediately dared not say anything more.
"Bring her back to the palace. There's no need to say anything more. I really like this woman very much!"
Zou Hanwu suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Jingyue and reached out to pinch her face.
The first touch was smooth, which made Zou Hanwu, who was touching a woman for the first time, unable to resist touching her a few more times.
Feeling embarrassed to have her face touched like that in public, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but flinch away.
However, to her surprise, the person in front of her tightened their grip even more when she dodged.
Jiang Jingyue's face was a little uncomfortable from his pinching, and she couldn't help but glare at Zou Hanwu.
That one glance stirred a ripple in Emperor Wu's heart.
It disappeared in an instant, so he doesn't feel anything yet.
Seeing the resistant expression on the little woman's face, Zou Hanwu wanted to tease her even more.
Without hesitation, before the servants could even come to take people away, he reached out and pulled Jiang Jingyue into his arms.
Jiang Jingyue was startled by his sudden action and instinctively wrapped her arms around Zou Hanwu's neck.
This action greatly pleased him, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hearing his grating laughter, the women below who had not been chosen by Emperor Wu of Han couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Regent was indeed incredibly powerful, and some women might be tempted, but the problem was, why was the Regent so unlucky in killing his wives? If only the Regent weren't so unlucky in killing his wives!
There must be many women eager to marry him.
There was nothing they could do. The regent was cruel and had married several wives, all of whom died mysteriously. So when others heard that they were going to become the regent's wives, they all backed away.
Wealth and status are important, but compared to life, nothing is more important.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, Emperor Zou Zheng's eyes were filled with shock.
"Didn't I tell you to send people to continue infiltrating the Regent's Palace? How come none of our people were chosen this time for the Regent's selection of a princess?"
"I remember that most of the people in this group today are our people. Why didn't the Regent choose any of ours?"
The servants standing next to Qin Zheng, seeing the emperor's furious expression, dared not say anything for a moment.
He was also puzzled by this matter, wondering where the woman the Regent had chosen had come from. He couldn't recall registering her, so she probably wasn't one of their people.
