Jiang Tian stared at the medicine bottle for a long time, then she smiled softly.

Shaking her head at Yuan Ye, she said, "General, I appreciate your kindness, but I will not take these medicines. From the moment I swallowed the poison, I decided to prove my loyalty to you. Now, after only a short time at the border, I want to get the antidote from you. What about the oath I swore?"

Sometimes Yuan Ye really felt that this woman didn't know what was good for her.

He took out the antidote, she took it and the poison was cured, so why would she betray him?

"Aren't you underestimating me? My bodyguards are all highly skilled in martial arts. If you dare to run, they could catch you ten times over in no time."

Jiang Tian's eyes showed a hint of grievance. Before he could react, the woman threw herself into his arms, her warm and soft body instantly filling his embrace.

He felt an inexplicable itch in his heart.

“Taking that poison is my way of showing my loyalty to you. If you want to send people to arrest me, then go ahead and arrest me. I’m standing right here, and they can arrest me however they want.”

"Please don't try to persuade me. I'll be fine without the antidote for a year, as Doctor Chen has already told me. But you must keep the antidote safe. If anything happens to me, how can I stay with you?"

Yuan Ye stared at her for a long time, sometimes wanting to scold her, sometimes wanting to sigh.

But in a way, he felt somewhat at ease.

As the crown prince, he inherited his father's suspicious nature. He would carefully consider each person before deciding whether or not to use them.

He made an exception today; Jiang Tian didn't have to do anything, and he gave her the antidote.

Unexpectedly, the woman refused to accept it.

She looked at him with all her heart and soul, her eyes were always on him, and she was always thinking of him.

Yuan Ye felt an indescribable sense of infatuation at the feeling of being completely relied upon, even having her life in his hands.

Jiang Tian is someone who can be absolutely trusted.

The fact that they refuse to take the antidote is proof enough.

Unbeknownst to him, Yuan Ye's trust in her had deepened even further.

The memory of Jiang Tian crying when she heard Zhao Zhen's name has faded considerably.

"You really aren't going to eat it? Maybe I won't give you any in the future."

"If you don't give it to me, then you must find me a place with good feng shui to bury me, otherwise I will haunt you as a wandering ghost."

His expression changed this Lantern Festival.

He pinched Jiang Tian's cheek: "Stop talking nonsense. I've kept the antidote for you; I'll give it to you in a year. In the meantime, you—"

Yuan Ye pondered what to ask her to do.

Jiang Tian volunteered, "General, let me calm those women down for you. Fifty thousand troops is no small number, and those women might be terrified. Most of them come from the capital and have never seen real fighting and killing before."

Yuan Ye thought about it for a moment and thought her suggestion was good.

Those family members must be appeased, otherwise, if they cause trouble, it will affect the overall situation.

But—he considered the deeper implications.

If Jiang Tian were to come forward, wouldn't that mean he had confirmed the woman's identity?

That would expose the relationship between the two people to the public.

“General, if you feel that my identity is not appropriate, then I can help the cooks with chopping vegetables and sew some clothes for you to use. I can do it all. Doctor Chen should also be short-handed.”

Jiang Tian seemed to sense his hesitation and immediately offered to do other work in a considerate way.

The task of comforting the family members must be done by someone, and the woman who does this must be of noble status.

But he doesn't even have a wife now, so who can help him with these things?

He naturally has a deputy general, who has been stationed on the border for many years.

Not long ago, the deputy general's wife died of illness, leaving behind only a concubine.

It would be better to send Jiang Tian to appease the ladies than to send a deputy general's concubine to do so.

Moreover, he didn't need to give her a particularly impressive identity; something that was sufficient would suffice.

“I’ll give you a token. You don’t need to tell them who you are. With this token, they will listen to you.”

It's enough to just understand each other without saying a word.

Yuan Ye had not yet decided who Jiang Tian should become in the Eastern Palace.

She will definitely have a place in that time.

"Alright, don't worry, General, I will do my best to handle everything for you."

Jiang Tian didn't seem to show any dissatisfaction.

She is so considerate that it makes you feel a little sorry for her.

Yuan Ye stroked her face, his voice softening: "When we return to the capital, I will not let you suffer any more grievances."

"I'm not wronged. As long as you're by my side, even a sip of my medicine tastes sweet."

Jiang Tian hugged his waist and murmured.

Yuan Ye couldn't resist her sweet words, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

After giving the token to Jiang Tian, ​​Jiang Tian got busy.

He spent every night at her place on the Lantern Festival and learned about her relationships with the other women.

According to her, the women were all very easy to get along with, and when they heard that she was from the capital, they became even more affectionate towards her.

She had only interacted with them a few times, but they treated her like a confidante.

While calming people down, Jiang Tian also disciplined the servants, teaching them first aid skills for emergencies. She would give them a slap followed by a sweet treat, and even the lazy servants were disciplined.

Not only that, Jiang Tian was actually quite capable—she only went to the residences of those families a few times, and she caught three spies.

The government office where the families now live is much safer than before.

In addition, Jiang Tian had prepared a batch of carriages for her escape. As for where to escape to, she had already found a place in the mountains.

If the battle situation develops to an extremely urgent point, the lives of these family members will certainly be safe.

Jiang Tian had made sufficient preparations.

She said that all of this was arranged by the general, and that the husbands of those family members were even more loyal to Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye, however, knew that he hadn't done anything.

He simply gave Jiang Tian a token, and she prepared everything perfectly.

"It seems you really are quite capable of managing a household."

That night, after their lovemaking, Yuan Ye stroked her smooth, white back and brought up the incident, unable to suppress a soft chuckle.

Jiang Tian is still recovering.

She simply couldn't keep up with him.

Now, tears are welling up in my eyes.

Hearing him bring up serious matters, her cheeks flushed red, and she was still catching her breath: "I... I just wanted to share your burdens—"

Yuan Ye stared at her for a long time, but Jiang Tian did not avoid his gaze; her eyes were clear.

Unbeknownst to her, Yuan Ye's heart softened again.

Once this matter is settled, for the sake of the capital, she should be given a good position in the Eastern Palace so that no one can bully her.

Having made this decision, Yuan Ye couldn't help but kiss her lips again, beginning a new round of conquest.

This woman speaks so sweetly.

It was something he simply couldn't tolerate.
