After Xiao Sheng left, the food was cleared away, and the two of them washed up.

As Wei Yunting was drying Jiang Tian's hair as usual, she slowly said, "His temper seems to have been suppressed, but his eyes haven't changed at all."

Knowing she was reminding him, Wei Yunting smiled and said, "I don't intend for him to change. I'd be grateful if he could just behave himself. He's an emperor, and the blood of the Xiao family flows in his veins. How could he possibly change?"

Jiang Tian didn't say much about their affairs, only telling Wei Yunting to protect himself.

Wei Yunting naturally knew that Xiao Sheng was only hiding his thorns now, but if an emperor didn't even have some sharpness, he wouldn't help him conquer the world.

"Let's not talk about him anymore, continue reading the story to me."

This is a pastime that Wei Yunting recently invented.

Jiang Tian wouldn't let him do this or that, so he begged her to keep him company and kill time.

After thinking about it, Jiang Tian went along with it and gave him a few storybooks to read.

Wei Yunting couldn't listen to any of the romantic talk between men and women.

But he really enjoys this activity after meals.

Having a beautiful woman in your arms, reading to him in a soft, gentle voice, his hands able to roam freely over her delicate body—it's truly a wonderful thing.

He just needs to be more composed.

Unfortunately, what Wei Yunting lacked most was composure.

For him, this pre-sleep routine was both agonizing and pleasurable.

By the time Jiang Tian finished reading one article, her hair was half-dry.

She was about to go to sleep when Wei Yunting pulled the blanket over both of their heads.

"Let me serve you, madam..."

………………

They fooled around until the middle of the night.

The rough texture of the tongue stirred up a storm.

Wei Yunting simply took good care of Jiang Tian and patiently did nothing else for himself.

Because Jiang Tian wouldn't allow it.

For the first time, he regretted not being more careful and insisting on getting that injury.

They were almost done tonight, but when Jiang Tian touched the scabbed scar on his wound, she forbade him from doing anything reckless.

So she was happy and slept soundly, while Wei Yunting didn't even dare to turn over, and it took him a long time to calm down.

After treating Xiao Sheng to a meal, Wei Yunting gradually delegated more authority to him.

News came from the capital that after investigating for a long time, the civil and military officials believed that Xiao Sheng was really dead, so they were thinking of having the old emperor adopt a child and establish a new crown prince.

They had a wild idea: instead of looking among the Xiao family members, they wanted to adopt someone from the Empress's maternal family.

It's also because the old emperor was completely controlled by them, and had no power at all. He gave all the troops he could give to Xiao Sheng, so he couldn't do anything.

When Wei Yunting saw the news from the capital, he was so angry that he laughed. He called Xiao Sheng over and showed him the news.

A sinister glint flashed in Xiao Sheng's eyes.

"Let them make a fuss first. When they start fighting amongst themselves over the spoils, then we'll go out."

Wei Yunting patted Xiao Sheng on the shoulder: "If you don't want your Xiao family's empire to change hands, then cheer up."

Xiao Sheng forced a smile: "The empire will definitely be mine."

His ambition put Wei Yunting at ease.

From that day on, Wei Yunting became even more open with Xiao Sheng, hoping that he would grow up quickly.

After some time, Wei Yunting's injury was completely healed.

Several doctors came to see him, and they all said that Wei Yunting was completely cured.

Jiang Tian even took his pulse herself.

"You should be relieved now, right?"

Wei Yunting's tone was tinged with pride.

Jiang Tian took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I'm relieved. Now that you've recovered, I'll go back tomorrow."

"no!"
