The city is divided into four directions, inhabited by four different groups of people, rich and poor.

Wei Yunting carefully explained the differences to Jiang Tian before letting her choose one.

Jiang Tian feigned ignorance: "Then why can't everyone go? Is His Highness too busy?"

Wei Yunting could see through her act and felt helpless, but he still agreed.

Today is just to accompany her. If she wants to shop around more, that's fine too.

The two arrived at the north of the city and disembarked from the carriage.

The north of the city was a gathering place for scholars, with many bookstores, and the people coming and going were mostly frail scholars in long robes.

Jiang Tian stopped when she saw the library. After she went in and browsed through the books, she discovered that Wei Yunting had already given them to her.

The south side of the city was a gathering place for businessmen, and it was also a place of pleasure.

Wei Yunting showed Jiang Tian the sights of the city's splendor, but even though Jiang Tian was eager to try, he didn't let her go to a brothel.

The eastern part of the city is where ordinary people live, and the city's main market is also located here. It looks very lively and full of life.

Before heading to the west of the city, Wei Yunting asked Jiang Tian again, "The west of the city is not quite what you imagine. It's a place where poor people live. Are you sure you want to go?"

Jiang Tian gave a wry smile: "Your Highness may have forgotten that when my father was poor and destitute, we lived in the west of the city. Of course I know what it was like there."

Wei Yunting was surprised. He had investigated Jiang Tian's background, but he didn't know so much about it.

He only knew that Jiang Tian's father was a scholar, but he did not know that he was so poor in his old age.

Jiang Tian was not bad-looking, and with a beautiful daughter living with him in the west of the city, survival must have been difficult.

He thought that Jiang Tian had been staying in the mansion for too long, which was why she had the idea of ​​going out for a stroll.

In retrospect, he was too narrow-minded; Jiang Tian was not detached from worldly affairs.

"Do you still want to go take a look?"

Jiang Tian nodded.

She wanted to go, and Wei Yunting agreed.

When the carriage arrived in the west of the city, the scenery was indeed completely different from the other three places.

As soon as they got out of the car, several people stared at them with scrutinizing eyes.

There was a hidden malice in that scrutinizing look.

But their expressions changed slightly when they saw Wei Yunting's face.

Wei Yunting held a high position and wielded great power. Although few people had the privilege of seeing him, his imposing presence deterred those petty villains from making any rash moves.

You can tell from his appearance that he has indeed killed people.

Wei Yunting glanced at the group of people, ignored them, and said to Jiang Tian, ​​"Don't worry, I'll protect you."

The conditions in the west of the city were terrible. There were stinking ditches everywhere, people with lice on their heads, and some desperate criminals who lived on the edge of death all gathered here.

The people here are generally refugees, or homeless people who have been oppressed in the city and have nowhere to go.

They wanted to stay in the city, and this was the only place they could stay.

The gathering of displaced people in the west of the city has become a lingering problem that cannot be eliminated.

After all, the city's resources are limited, and no one can accept others vying for their interests.

These people have a chance to survive here; elsewhere, they might only be dead.

Wei Yunting had no choice but to turn a blind eye and allow them to eke out a living here.

He accompanied Jiang Tian inside, his expression growing increasingly cold and stern.

Jiang Tian seemed to see through his thoughts and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness has already done even better."

Wei Yunting raised his eyes and looked at her.

"The world is in chaos, and people are constantly rising up in rebellion against the powerful families who control the country. You have provided a peaceful haven for the people in the city. Even if they live in poverty, at least they can live in peace without war."

"You don't need to blame yourself. There are always refugees to save. As long as the world is not at peace, the west of the city will not disappear."

Wei Yunting's pupils dilated slightly, his heart pounding.

He never expected Jiang Tian to say such a thing.

Jiang Tian looked at him earnestly: "Your Highness, there is no need to be surprised. I just cannot study and take the imperial examinations like men. I am not really stupid. I can still understand what I need to read."

After a long silence, Wei Yunting suddenly pulled her into a small alley. He pressed his hands on her shoulders and warned her through gritted teeth, "Don't mention these things to anyone else in the future, do you hear me!"

If a woman dared to speak ill of the imperial court and others found out, she would surely lose her life.

At this moment, Jiang Tian reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, her eyes shining with a soft light: "I dare to say that because I know that Your Highness is not a bad person, and that you can protect me."

Wei Yunting's heart skipped a beat.

He should either reprimand her or have her taken away and dealt with after she uttered such shocking words.

But he did nothing and just let Jiang Tian hug him.

After realizing what was happening, he took the initiative, pulled Jiang Tian into his arms, and gave her a passionate yet tender kiss.

Only when she was panting and patting his back did Wei Yunting reluctantly let her go.

He looked at Jiang Tian, ​​a dark glint in his eyes, and asked, "Going back?"
