Jiang Tian laughed: "Do you think I don't want to? You still have troops under your command, and they only listen to your orders. If you die, the world will descend into chaos."

So what if things get chaotic?

I knew she was a little bodhisattva, and now it seems that she really is.

Fearing that the people would be displaced as a result, she preferred to spare his life.

For someone as kind as her to be willing to poison him, she was quite unique in her treatment of him.

"Now that I'm in a coma for longer and longer periods, are you planning to slowly drain my life away?"

Jiang Tian's eyes were calm as she shook her head: "I didn't continue to poison you. It's just that the poison you were given always tends to flare up more severely during this season."

"I see... Then why didn't you poison her?" Zhao Jing stared at her.

Jiang Tian stared at him too: "Didn't you see that? I won't take your life. You have military power, I can't let you die. Besides... do you want to die? If you wanted to die, you wouldn't be giving me power while restricting my actions."

"Don't think I don't know, I have quite a few people around me."

Zhao Jing laughed again: "Yes, I don't want to die, but I don't know what to do with you."

The poison has been administered; it's uncertain whether he will recover.

He feared that if he really killed her, he would spend the rest of his life in regret.

Besides, this woman didn't want him to die, so why should he take her life?

He didn't want to think about who owed whom.

Zhao Jing even felt a little happy now, at least the woman had said that she didn't want him to die.

He looked at Jiang Tian and said, "You didn't want my life, and you didn't poison me so that I could live even if I was in excruciating pain. So you still have some feelings for me."

Jiang Tian stared at him for a long time, then said expressionlessly, "I think you've lost your mind."

The atmosphere between the two suddenly improved.

Even though one person poisoned the other, they acted as if they didn't care about either of them.

"If I weren't out of my mind, I would have ordered my men to kill you the moment I saw you. Back then, it was a time of war and chaos, and no one would have guessed who killed you."

He coughed for a while, then slowly took Jiang Tian's hand: "It wouldn't be bad if we governed the world together. Now your words carry just as much weight as mine."

This woman earned it all herself. She is resourceful and intelligent. If she had been born a man, she would surely have been able to conquer the world.

Unfortunately, he only realized how outstanding she was when their relationship was on the verge of collapse.

Jiang Tian finally raised her hand and stroked his face: "I used to find your face uncomfortable; I prefer gentle, scholarly men. But now that you're poisoned, it looks much better. You look much better than before, even though you're sickly."

Zhao Jing looked at her with a complicated expression.

Jiang Tian said slowly, "Anyway, you won't die, so let's just live like this."

She finally gave him a promise that didn't seem like a promise.

Living together as a couple seemed to carry the implication of forever.

Zhao Jing smiled and nodded.

From the moment he learned the truth and didn't kill her immediately, he knew that he would never be able to harm Jiang Tian in his life.

He would become suspicious if power were given to someone else, and would be tempted to take action against that person, but he felt at ease when power was given to Jiang Tian.

After talking for so long, Zhao Jing was a little tired. He suddenly put his arm around Jiang Tian's waist and rested his head next to her lower abdomen.

"How's your medication going? If you really want to be like me, then we still need to try to have a child, otherwise your position won't be secure. If something happens to me in the future, I'm afraid they won't listen to you."

After accepting reality, even with his ailing body, Zhao Jing couldn't help but start planning for Jiang Tian's future.

Ultimately, the two of them still need to have a child.

The officials hinted more than once that since his health was failing, he should hurry up and leave a child for them.

They were willing to risk their lives for him, but they would always feel uneasy if they were to risk their lives for someone who had no offspring.

Jiang Tian suddenly gave him a cold look and asked, "Haven't you noticed that you've been much more powerful these past few nights?"

Zhao Jing paused for a moment, then remained silent.

Since she fell ill, the two of them have had fewer romantic encounters.

He thought it was the hot weather that made him unable to resist...

He consulted the imperial physician, who said that this medicine would only weaken the body and would not affect that aspect of his body.

But when a person's health deteriorates and their energy is no longer abundant, those thoughts are naturally suppressed.

Sometimes he wanted to serve Jiang Tian, ​​but he was out of breath.

Jiang Tian reminded him that he was no longer weak these days and could easily last half an hour.

"What...what did you do?"

Jiang Tian's expression was somewhat complicated: "Actually, your recent coma isn't just due to the season... I got you some medicine, an aphrodisiac... Don't worry, this medicine won't shorten your lifespan, it will just make you coma a few more times."

"Now that my body has recovered enough, I'll make you a bit stronger."

Zhao Jing remained silent for a long time, instead coughing repeatedly.

His face was full of excitement: "You...you're cured?"

For a while, he had given up hope. If his body was broken, so be it. His body was broken too, and no one should blame anyone else.

But when he heard that Jiang Tian's health had really improved, he was still overwhelmed with joy.

"If they still can't recover after taking so much medicine, then those miracle doctors should just give up on life."

Zhao Jing's eyes lit up with an astonishing brightness: "So, we can have children from now on?"

"Maybe." Jiang Tian glanced at him meaningfully. "If you can't handle it, will I have to feed you medicine every day? Can your body take it?"

Zhao Jing remained silent for a moment.

He truly hadn't expected that his exceptional performance at night these past few days was due to the medication he'd been given.

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you hadn't given me that kind of drug, and instead used another one, as long as it didn't affect my mind, I would definitely have been able to serve you well. I used to be able to give you three hours, but now, I've really become that weak and frail scholar in the play."

Jiang Tian curled her lip: "How would I know my body could be cured?"

Zhao Jing took her hand and said to her, "I'll go find the miracle doctor to get some medicine to make me stronger. As long as my body isn't completely drained, we'll have a child someday."

"Don't make me sound like a vixen, okay?"

She must be some kind of demon, Zhao Jing thought to himself. Otherwise, how could he have been bewitched, drugged by her, and even had a smile on his lips at this moment?

Neither of their efforts were in vain.

Zhao Jing was unconscious during the day, but became fierce at night.

Jiang Tian did as she pleased, always staying on top, and he never said anything.

With a shared goal, the good news arrived quickly.

Two months later, Jiang Tian was diagnosed with pregnancy.
