What Ren Jiangtang never expected was that he had tried so hard to prevent Xiao Yinhan from destroying the Yan family and safeguarding his reputation, but in the end the boomerang hit him.
Thunder roared outside the palace, and the storm continued. But all the attention in the palace seemed to be focused on her.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, and her hand, as beautiful as carved ivory, reflected the jade cup. For a moment, she didn't know whether the jade was whiter or her hand was whiter.
And her actions also made Emperor Huaiwen's face darker:
"Don't you like her very much? Would you really rather watch her die than give up?"
Jiang Tang paused with his hand and did not look back, but couldn't help but want to know his answer.
In his heart, who is she?
"But it's a gadget that has been played for a long time. If she exchanges her life for the truth, it will be her honor."
Emperor Huaiwen didn't say anything and didn't know if he really believed it. A pair of deep and sharp eyes fell on Jiang Tang, as if waiting for her reaction.
Jiang Tang's heart slowly cooled down the moment the man spoke.
She was thinking, how great would it be if she drank this glass of wine and her mission was completed?
In that case, she would not hesitate at all.
She picked up the wine glass and took one last look at the man.
"Your Majesty."
The girl's soft voice was like a gust of wind, but it made Xiao Yinhan freeze up and finally raised his head to look at her.
He was already prepared to see the girl's sad, resentful and tearful eyes. She might even beg him...
But in fact, his Tangtang just smiled gently, as gentle and tolerant as when they first met, as if he would never be angry no matter how he treated her.
This reaction almost foreshadowed how she would choose. A suffocating pain swept through Xiao Yinhan, and he almost couldn't help but admit defeat.
But until the girl raised her head and drank the poisoned wine, he did not admit defeat.
"Clang~" is the sound of the wine glass falling to the ground.
The moment Jiang Tang fell, there was a harsh electric sound in her mind, as if something exploded in her mind.
The moment before she lost consciousness, what she was thinking was: Unexpectedly, he was the one who didn't want her first...
She thought she was different,
It is indeed an S-level mission. She tried so hard but still failed...
The heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping. It was so intense that it seemed as if it was going to collapse the sky together.
With a "squeak" sound, the closed palace door opened from the inside.
"The Royal Umbrella..."
The dejected man came out, and the waiter hurriedly followed him to hold an umbrella for him, but was severely pushed away, and then stumbled into the rain.
-
"It's raining so hard, the prince won't come back, right?"
In Prince Rong's palace, Eunuch Liu looked at the rain curtain and said, "It's getting late, so I should stay in the palace..."
But the next moment, Eunuch Liu's words were interrupted by a nervous and urgent voice:
"Eunuch, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is back!"
Eunuch Liu was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the rainstorm again: "Such a heavy rain?"
Not long after saying these words, Eunuch Liu actually saw a man who was soaked in rain and looked like a drowned rat coming back from outside.
His hair and clothes were all stuck together, and his face was as white as a ghost.
If it hadn't been for the same face, Eunuch Liu would really have thought that his prince had been impersonated.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? What happened? Why did you come back in the rain?"
Eunuch Liu asked nervously, but the man pushed him away and said, "Get out!"
If there wasn't someone holding him next to him, he would have fallen asleep directly on the ground.
However, this push also made Eunuch Liu sober up, and he later discovered something more important: "Why is the prince the only one back? Where is Master Tang?"
They are such an old master, no, where did the concubine go?
Before he could ask clearly, he heard an exclamation from in front of him.
Eunuch Liu looked intently and almost fainted from fright.
Xiao Yinhan fell to the ground after taking only two steps. When the servants helped him up, he fainted.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The scene instantly became a scene of chaos.
"Send the prince back to his room quickly!"
"Doctor, where is the doctor? Go and call him!"
Xiao Yinhan was quickly sent to the room, but this was not a sign of relaxation.
While Eunuch Liu was directing his subordinates to take care of his prince, he also found time to curse:
"What happened to you? How did you protect the prince? Where is Master Tang? Why didn't the concubine come back with the prince?"
As soon as Shunzi came back, she was scolded by her adoptive father. She almost fainted from the scolding.
But he was also aggrieved: "The concubine should be with the prince. But when the prince came out, there was no concubine behind him! No, she didn't stay in the palace, right?"
"What?" Eunuch Liu opened his eyes in surprise: "How is it possible? How could the prince leave Master Tang alone in the palace?"
At this moment, Eunuch Liu felt nervous as never before, and couldn't help but plead in his heart:
Master Tang must be well, she will be fine.
The doctor was quickly called, and after a lot of trouble, he swallowed the medicine, but the man on the bed seemed to have a fever and started gibbering...
"You are right. I forced you to be born. You are my bargaining chip to keep your mother and concubine! She is kind and soft-hearted, and she sympathizes with other people's children, let alone her own children?"
"When you truly fall in love with someone, you will understand that love is possession and destruction. I would rather she die in my arms than let her leave!"
"You are my son, and you have the same despicable blood as mine in your bones. If one day the person you love betrays you, you will only do more extreme things than me!"
"Do you know why after the death of your mother-in-law, I will treat you twice as well and tolerate all your wrongdoings? Because you are abandoned like me! She hates me, and she hates you too! You set the same goals for her as I did
I have been angry for many years, but I don’t know that you were also abandoned. When she left, she never considered taking you with her. We are all abandoned by her..."
Xiao Yinhan slept extremely uneasily that night, with thunder and lightning in and out of his dreams, as if all the pain he had experienced was being shoved into his mind.

[Host, wake up, wake up, host! The sun will set if you continue to sleep. 】
【Host, host, host...】
Jiang Tang was woken up by the continuous sounds in his head.
However, until she opened her eyes, she still had some confusion on her face. Looking at the strange and dilapidated room, the first words she spoke were: "I'm not dead? Did you save me again?"
The system wants to happily recognize "it's me", but the reality is...
[Host, you are not dead. The poisonous wine you drank last night was actually just drug. It will make you sleep at most, but you will not die. 】
Jiang Tang said nothing.
The system hesitated for a moment and decided to admit its mistake first: [Host, I have been trapped in my original consciousness for this period of time and cannot return, which makes you feel wronged. What you said is indeed correct. The male protagonist's [favorability] has really improved.
