The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 480 Born at the wrong time, love at the wrong person

Do you really like it?

If it were in the previous life, Jiang Wantang would have said without hesitation: I like it.

Because in her previous life, she would definitely fall in love with such a good Ji Wuyuan.

It’s a pity that he met her in this life.

And she only met him in this life.

Born at the wrong time, love at the wrong person...

I'm talking about people like them.

Thinking of this, a gloomy look flashed across Jiang Wantang's eyes.

Yun Shang was stunned by her answer and said, "But I can see that His Majesty really loves me."

"Don't you yearn for the happiness of a couple for a lifetime?"

If Yun Shang had only thought that Ji Wuyuan's love for her sister was just the infinite love of an emperor for his concubine, then after this period...

Jiang Wantang smiled, a smile that was somewhat cold and bitter. She said, "Yes, I used to yearn for it."

"I long for a home, and a lifelong partner."

"But later, I deeply understood that even the promise of lifelong love and the oath of eternal love could not withstand the fickleness of human heart."

"I believe that His Majesty's love for me at this moment comes from the heart."

"I am also willing to let go of the past and do my best to repay his feelings."

"I know all he's ever wanted is my true heart, but I can't give it to him."

Jiang Wantang's eyes were calm, and every word he spoke was clear and resolute: "He and I can have family affection, companionship, and even love, but..."

"I can't give you this heart."

"I don't want to give it to you either."

"I've experienced twice the feeling of pinning all my hopes and hopes on a man's feelings, but the consequences were always devastating harm, pain, and cost."

For the first time, she went from being fully expected to being saved to falling into darkness forever in an instant;

The second time, she grabbed a life-saving straw in the abyss. Even though she suffered a lot of injustice, she wanted to hold on to it tightly, but in the end she paid the price with her life.

"Therefore, I no longer wish to place all my hopes and emotions on one man without reservation."

"I also don't want to have to repeatedly think about whether a man truly loves me or whether he has changed his mind because of some things."

"For me, if he treats me sincerely, I will treat him sincerely in the future."

"If, one day, your heart has changed, your feelings have changed, but the Begonia remains the same."

"I can also keep my original heart."

"When receiving favor, one's heart is as strong as a rock and his affections are deep; when losing power, one realizes that one's heart is as strong as iron and one's bones are as cold as ice."

After saying that, Jiang Wantang raised his eyes and looked at the colorful little bird in the golden cage hanging under the railing.

Yun Shang looked at the determination in her cold eyes and opened her mouth, but she couldn't utter any words of comfort or consolation.

She had always thought that her sister must have had some very bad memories, which made her so cold and resolute when it came to relationships.

Neither of them spoke, and the courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Under the porch, the colorful little bird in the cage flapped its wings and pecked at the millet in the golden cup, making a tiny sound.

Jiang Wantang walked over slowly, raised his hand and opened the golden birdcage.

Upon seeing this, the little bird immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the sky, chirping as it flew, obviously excited about flying into the sky and regaining its freedom.

The two stood in the yard and watched the little bird gradually fly away and disappear from their sight.

However, at this moment, Ji Wuyuan, who was standing outside the courtyard, was also watching this scene, his pupils were dark and deep, and the color was bottomless.

Every word Jiang Wantang had just said fell into his ears and heart without missing a word.

I can’t describe how I feel, but it would be a lie to say I’m not sad.

Jiang Wantang was right, what he had always wanted was her heart.

He also knew that in this relationship, she was always distant and unwilling to give her true heart.

He thought that as long as he loved her enough, indulged her, and gave her enough bargaining chips and a sense of security, he would be able to win her heart one day.

He thought that the token of love that day was the beginning of her willingness to entrust her true heart to him.

......

But it turns out that it was just because of guilt?

Ji Wuyuan silently watched the little bird flying away in the sky for a long time, and a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of his lips...

He knew that he couldn't keep her.

Even though he owned the world, he didn't know what to do to keep her.

Jiang Wantang's heart has never been with him.

Whether it was her or this relationship, they were all forced by him.

He just trapped her in this deep palace and kept her by his side.

Thinking of this, the bitterness and pain in Ji Wuyuan's heart became more intense and profound.

He tightly grasped the mutton-fat jade pendant with a crabapple flower pattern around his waist, then turned and left Fengqi Palace.

Wang Fuhai, who was following behind him, was so shocked that he was dumbfounded and didn't dare to breathe the whole time.

Ji Wuyuan did not return to the imperial study, but walked all the way to the highest wall of the imperial palace, stood there with his hands behind his back, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the entire capital and the lights of thousands of homes.

Everywhere you look, you can see the peaceful and festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Not long after, the Imperial Master Jikong, dressed in a dark Taoist robe, appeared behind him.

The national teacher Jikong held a green jade whisk in his hand, followed Ji Wuyuan's line of sight, and looked out at the vast landscape before him.

He sighed and said, "Your Majesty, did you see that?"

"This whole world belongs to you!"

"Why trap yourself in love?"

Ji Wuyuan looked into the distance, remaining silent.

When the Imperial Master Jikong saw this, his calm face narrowed slightly with his eyes that were full of insight into the world.

He took a step forward, his dark robe rustling in the cold wind, yet his voice was as deep and melodious as a temple bell. He said, "Your Majesty, the Purple Star is in the sky. You are an emperor, the master of this world."

"What's so good about feelings? They are just fleeting clouds. The vast land and the emperor's luck are your indestructible power. As for the worldly obsession..."

"You'd better wake up."

"Forced karma is doomed to be unhappy."

Ji Wuyuan frowned unhappily. His ears were almost callused from hearing similar words over and over again.

So, he retracted his gaze and swept a cold and icy look towards the Imperial Master Jikong, saying coldly, "Tell me, what brought you here today?"

Jikong calmed down a bit and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the King of Zhenbei is about to wake up..."

"Recently, the prince's body has begun to show slight reactions. I think the day of his complete awakening is not far away."

Jikong stopped talking at that point and didn’t say anything else.

Ji Wuyuan's slender fingers tapped lightly on the city wall, making a dull sound in the air.

After a long moment, he spoke calmly, "Are you afraid that if he wakes up, there will be another conflict between him and me, the capital, and the northern border?"

Jikong remained silent, his expression showing that this was obvious.

Ji Wuyuan curled his lips and smiled, his smile was deep and meaningful: "Master, don't worry, what you are worried about will not happen."

Because, just now, he had already made a decision in his heart.

For him, this decision was undoubtedly like cutting flesh with a blunt knife, but also like gouging out his heart and bones.
