Who would raise a villain as a wife?

Jiang Li glared at him, "Let me go!"

He Yunjing raised his eyebrows, "Then why don't you let me go? Are you playing double standards with me?"

Jiang Li twisted her hands in anger, and stopped looking at He Yunjing, concentrating on how to break free.

All the things on him had been confiscated by He Yunjing, and he had no tools to cut the rope, so he struggled hard, and his wrists were rubbed red in a few tries.

He Yunjing looked at it, then looked at his own wrist. Only a small mark was left, not at all as precious as Jiang Lijin's.

“That’s a big difference.”

He Yunjing muttered, still holding Jiang Liluan's struggling wrist, "Okay, I'll let you go, but you have to promise not to tie me up in the future, or I'll tie you up too."

Jiang Li glared at him angrily, her eyes red, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing this look, He Yunjing suddenly felt deflated. He couldn't stand being looked at like that. He couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and would agree to anything.

But He Yunjing still forced himself to be tough. If he let it go easily this time, who knows how Jiang Li would trick him next time.

He held Jiang Li's wrist and said in a softer tone, "Do you agree?"

Jiang Li frowned and asked him, "Then will you run?"

"I won't if you need me." He Yunjing looked at him seriously, "I'm not an object. You can't tie me to you if you want me. I'm a human being. Wouldn't it be better to tame me and make me inseparable from you instead of tying me up?"

Jiang Li thought about it seriously. He Yunjing was indeed capable, otherwise he would not have escaped from Mo Wenhe's hands and guarded Quecheng to block the Northern Kingdom's army.

Jiang Li especially found He Yunjing's unethical methods outrageous.

He asked again, "Why is Ruanjinsan ineffective?"

"It takes time for the medicine you take to work. I swallowed it, but I can spit it out."

Jiang Li thought about He Yunjing going to the toilet and realized that he must have done it secretly. He frowned and was very unhappy. He should have let He Yunjing take the medicine and wait for it to take effect before letting him go.

Seeing Jiang Li like this, He Yunjing lowered his head and bit his lips, "If you want to deal with me again, I will not be polite."

Jiang Li could only hold back the thoughts that had just begun to arise in her mind, and asked with a frown, "Can you let go?"

"Then will you still tie me up?"

"No more."

He Yunjing felt happier after getting Jiang Li's reluctant answer. He reached out and quickly untied the rope, then went to untie the rope on Jiang Li's feet.

As soon as He Yunjing came to his senses, he met Jiang Li's troubled face. He scratched his chin teasingly.

"You're still angry!"

Jiang Li raised his sleeves and wiped his face hard, mainly to wipe away the tear marks on his face. He thought He Yunjing would run away.

Seeing him like this, He Yunjing didn't know what to say, so he just sat there and waited for Jiang Li to calm down and reflect on himself.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and He Yunjing couldn't help but speak first, "Tell me, what are you going to take me to do?"

"He knew that the person that day was you, and he would definitely capture you and threaten the Emperor of Wu."

He Yunjing raised his eyebrows, "He knows my identity?"

"Yeah." Jiang Li lowered her head. "The letter you left was intercepted a long time ago. It's impossible for Marquis Wu'an to send someone to look for you."

He Yunjing frowned, "How many people did he arrange around my father?"

"It's not him, it's someone who has been loyal to the court for three generations." Jiang Li pulled the quilt over herself and wrapped herself up. "Originally, he was going to assassinate Marquis Wu'an on the battlefield in the Northern Kingdom, but your appearance changed the existing plan. In his eyes, you need to be eliminated more than Marquis Wu'an."

"Then should I thank you for tying me up?"

Jiang Li remained silent and did not answer. He did not want to save He Yunjing. He just wanted to treat He Yunjing as his own.

But he seemed unable to trap He Yunjing, at least not using these methods.

He Yunjing is very cunning and he can neither compete with him nor defeat him.

Jiang Li was a little discouraged, but she was very unconvinced. She reached out and grabbed He Yunjing's sleeve and tugged, "You really won't leave?"

He Yunjing looked at his little movements, which seemed to have broken Jiang Li's defense. Knowing that she couldn't trap him, she started to panic, so she started crying.

In fact, He Yunjing really likes Jiang Li crying, just like Hua Li and Wen Li.

He took Jiang Li's hand and said, "What do you want me to say so that you will believe me?"

Jiang Li didn't know either. This was the environment he was in. No one treated him sincerely, and he didn't know who to trust or who to rely on.

He has always lived on his own, and is also afraid of being abandoned after believing with all his heart.

He Yunjing didn't know what to say when he saw him like this. Jiang Li's situation was more complicated than the previous two times.

Hua Li and Wen Li have a targeted hatred, and as long as it can be resolved, we can rest assured.

But Jiang Li is different. His life is too miserable. He has never felt warmth and love, and he doesn't know how to accept it.

He came too suddenly. Although he pried open Jiang Li's outer shell during that year, he did not have time to give Jiang Li more sense of security.

Just like a person holding onto a piece of driftwood to survive at sea, he only handed Jiang Li a rope. Jiang Li wanted to grab onto it and get ashore, but she never came up and was still floating. Facing the strong wind and waves, a rope could not give Jiang Li a sense of security.

He Yunjing squeezed his palm and said, "You can't feel safe only if I'm tied up all the time."

Jiang Li's answer was yes, only by tying him up would he not run away.

He Yunjing found it funny. "Then let me ask you, does it feel good to be tied up?"

Jiang Li shook her head honestly, not feeling good at all.

"You can trap me by tying me up, but can you control what I think in my heart?" He Yunjing pulled him over and held him in his arms.

He Yunjing said earnestly, "You want more than just my body, right? You want me to treat you well, always like you, be your support, and treat you well for the rest of my life. It's useless to tie me up. You have to use your heart to keep me here, so that I can never leave you again."

Jiang Li knew the truth, but he had seen many men with three wives and four concubines, so he didn't think there was any man who was faithful to one man.

Jiang Li felt that this feeling was very fragile and not as long-term as other interests.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "You said before that you didn't want Lin Kingdom to go to war with Wu Kingdom?"

"Well, what happened?"

Jiang Li hugged his neck and said, "I want to be the emperor of Lin Kingdom. Will you help me?"

"If you want to do it, I will help you, but you cannot send troops to Wu Kingdom, and you must draw a clear line between yourself and Mo Wenhe." He Yunjing stated the conditions. Jiang Li's original plot was to become the emperor of Lin Kingdom. As long as it did not affect his mission, he had no reason to refuse.

Jiang Li hummed in a muffled voice, but couldn't help but ask again, "You won't leave?"

"No." He Yunjing answered him patiently, and then said jokingly, "Why would I leave if I haven't even got a wife?"

Jiang Li frowned as she listened, "I'm not a woman."

"You are not a woman, but you are my wife." He Yunjing smiled and kissed him on the neck. "You can't bear to leave me, don't you like me? If you like me, don't you want to be my wife?"
