After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Song Nihuan understood the harsh meaning in his words. Although he was displeased, he still chose his words carefully and did not say anything that would embarrass her too much.

The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile, and she said bitterly: "It's because I didn't value myself that I lived in this world and ended up using my beauty to serve others..."

"Brother Tan, do you know that the interweaving of love and hate is the cruelest punishment in the world? I would rather be fed to wolves and tigers than stay with Xie Yunji anymore."

"It's not like I haven't thought about dying. I even brought a dagger with me. The dagger rubbed my flesh and it felt cold and astringent. But Lan Zhi didn't even feel that. He just lay there, with only one breath left, and couldn't feel anything!"

"I can only live..."

"Brother Tan, I can't even die." She looked at him quietly.

Xie Tan's heart suddenly contracted, and he said angrily: "What on earth did Xie Yunji do to you?!"

Song Nihuan asked herself this question many times in her heart.

What exactly did Xie Yunji do?

He said in front of the emperor that those involved in the King of Qi case should be severely punished in order to uphold justice.

He planned to kill Lan Zhi in order to get rid of Princess Le Yi.

He changed her identity and brought her into the mansion to be his wife with three matchmakers and six betrothals because he loved her.

He was never a knife, he was just a person who borrowed the knife and also a vested interest.

The most hateful.

But the love between the couple for four years was real and unforgettable.

Song Nihuan looked up and smiled at Xie Tan, tears in her eyes, "As a husband, he treats me very well."

"But he wasn't supposed to be my husband."

The pear blossoms are wet with rain, and the eyes are sparkling.

Xie Tan's gaze lingered on her face for a long time, and he uttered a few words: "Do you love him?"

Song Nihuan turned her face slightly away, avoiding Xie Tan's burning gaze, and after a long while, she said softly, "It's all over."

Xie Tan frowned, and did not ask any more questions, saying: "From now on, you can stay in Yuxiu Palace, which is closer to me. The Lishan Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, so I will bring Lan Zhi to the palace for you. You can go to see him anytime you want."

"I'll tell you when there's news from the Poli Kingdom."

His tone belonged only to the emperor, it was the attitude of a superior, and the promises he made could only be fulfilled by the emperor.

Song Nihuan's eyes were as bright as water, and she smiled at him again, "Okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

"There's no need for this between you and me." Xie Tan said.

She nodded gently, as if she was warming up, and her originally pale face gradually regained some of its delicate and charming color.

He stared at her lowered head, his eyes fell on the slender white neck, and suddenly recalled the touch in his dream.

He longed to be close to her, and an irresistible impulse surged in his heart.

He held his breath, his heartbeat quickened...

However, he clearly understood that this was not the right time.

He couldn't let her mistakenly think that he was just making an equal exchange with her, because then how would he be different from other men?

Xie Tan clenched his hands tightly, took a deep breath, and said to the eunuch guarding the door: "Come here, go to Yuxiu Palace."

……

The palace maids walked hurriedly, all heading towards Yuxiu Palace.

Although the palace is cleaned every day, it has been uninhabited for a long time. If you want to move in tonight, you will have to have more people come to clean and arrange the place.

In this way, everyone in the palace knew that a bride had arrived on New Year's Eve.

"Finally, there will be an empress in the palace. Let's go. Tomorrow I will spend some money and ask Huang Zongguan to transfer me to Yuxiu Palace!"

Another palace maid was holding a gorgeous dress with gold embroidery that she had just received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She nodded repeatedly and sighed, "I really didn't expect that today, on New Year's Eve, we will have an imperial concubine entering our palace! I heard that this one was sent in by Marquis Jingyuan?"

"That's right. Marquis Jingyuan loves beauties the most. He specializes in his field..."

"But why did I hear that this bride is married? She has a woman's hair style."

"Shh..." The palace maid put her hand to her lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.

……

"Brother Tan, I have something else I want to ask you." Song Nihuan looked at him and said.

Since Madam Xie was dead, she didn't want anyone to know that she was still alive.

"Can you... not let anyone know I'm here?" she said.

"You don't want Xie Yunji to know?" he said.

He remembered that when he went to Xie's house and mentioned Song Nihuan, the pain in Xie Yunji's eyes could not be concealed.

Song Nihuan didn't comment, still looking sad and hesitant, she just lowered her head and whispered, "Can I?"

He sighed and promised her, "Okay, I promise. Don't let anyone know you're here."

When Xie Tan walked out of the Yuxiu Palace, the eunuchs guarding outside came up to him with smiles on their faces.

The eunuch's eyes quietly swept over the emperor's neatly-made clothes, thinking to himself how strange it was, the palace finally managed to keep a beauty, but His Majesty didn't stay overnight, and he didn't even have a passionate relationship with her?

Xie Tan's face was gloomy, and he said, "Call Chen Liang over here."

The eunuch responded with a yes.

After a while, Chen Liang bowed his head and stood beside the emperor.

Xie Tan's face did not look better, and he went over what Chen Liang had just said in his mind.

So that's how it was. It was Xie Yunji who framed her, so she entered the Xie Mansion and became his nominal sister-in-law.

And Song Lanzhi...

Human life is so lamentable.

Just like he never expected to become emperor one day.

But he came here through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and took the whole world into his possession, so why is he still separated from the one he loves by mountains and seas?

"Your Majesty, if Madam Song stays in the palace for a long time without a name or status, she may be criticized by others." Chen Liang said, abandoning the titles of Madam Xie and Jiang and automatically changing to Madam Song. "Your Majesty, what position do you want to give Madam Song?"

Chen Liang was a man with a clear mind. He saw clearly that Song Nihuan had a complicated identity. Although she was the daughter of the Jiang family, the fact that she was once the wife of a civil official was an unchangeable fact.

The most basic requirement for women in the world is chastity, followed by virtue.

Obviously, Mrs. Xie, who once had poor virtues as a woman, did not possess these two qualities.

In the history of the royal family, for hundreds of years, there has never been a favorite concubine who married for the second time.

Chen Liang knew that the new emperor was somewhat arbitrary in his actions, otherwise he would not have been the one to take over Yunjing.

But Lady Song's final destination was a big deal, after all, she was the first wife of a close minister.

The throne has not yet been firmly established, and no matter how tyrannical the new emperor is, he has to take into account the opinions of the literati.

Therefore, judging from Song Nihuan's past experience, a rank above that of concubine is obviously inappropriate.

Chen Liang waited quietly for the emperor's order.

However, Xie Tan did not speak immediately, but just stared at the dark night sky silently.

Chen Liang raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor.

It is obvious that he is different from the late emperor. The previous emperor did not show his emotions on his face, but this emperor does not show any emotions at all. If one wants to understand his thoughts, one needs to observe and inquire.

Chen Liang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if you intend to appoint Lady Song as your consort, there are other ways."

Xie Tan still didn't respond, his eyes became darker.

This silence caused the East Factory Supervisor, who was very good at observing the emperor's expressions and understanding his mind, to feel panic in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Your Majesty... do you want to make her the queen?"

Xie Tan fell into a long silence.
