Jiang Tian finally smiled.

Her voice held a hint of a sigh: "Actually, even now I don't know if following you was the right or wrong thing to do, but since I chose you, I will treat you with all my heart."

"If you ever change your mind, tell me in advance. Like I said, you took me in and did me a favor, so I won't take revenge on you. But from now on, let's not talk about friendship anymore."

The more she said this, the more terrified Xiao Sheng became.

He knew that, from Jiang Tian's perspective, it was right for her not to trust him.

It was no easy feat for a woman from a secluded mansion to risk everything to follow him to the capital, only to face the hardships and dangers that awaited her.

Xiao Sheng increasingly wanted her to know his feelings.

"It won't be long before the world is at peace. The promise of one love for life is what I made. If I break it, may I be struck by lightning."

Jiang Tian didn't stop him. Instead, she said, "You said it yourself. If I really get struck by lightning, I will visit your grave during Qingming Festival."

Xiao Sheng smiled helplessly.

He was about to say goodbye to Jiang Tian when, unexpectedly, she looked at him for a while, then suddenly cupped his face and gently kissed him under his wide eyes.

"I've already reserved you, so don't let anyone else take your place."

Xiao Sheng's earlobes turned so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and his brain suddenly went blank, like it was made of mush.

Although the two had reunited for several months, Xiao Sheng was still too bold. Apart from hugging and holding hands with Jiang Tian, ​​he dared not do anything else.

Today, a sudden kiss caused a surge of heat to gather somewhere...

Xiao Sheng ignored the fact that there were still many people waiting for him outside and grabbed Jiang Tian, ​​showering her with kisses.

In both his past and present lives, he has never kissed anyone. But once he breaks that rule, he becomes more clingy than a puppy…

Jiang Tian's hairpin had fallen off, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were watery, and her lips were swollen beyond recognition.

Actually, it wasn't Jiang Tian who pushed Xiao Sheng away; it was Xiao Sheng who took the initiative to let go of her.

Because he realized he was about to lose control...

He had already made up his mind to give Jiang Tian the best, and they would save their wedding night for their big day. He was afraid that if they kissed any further, he would become a beast.

So he could only say to Jiang Tian, ​​"I'll see you another day..."

He then left in a hurry, not daring to look at Jiang Tian again.

He had absolutely no confidence in himself.

After he left, he instructed the servants that if Jiang Tian wanted to study medicine, they should let her do so.

He discovered that both Jiang Tian in this life and she in the previous life were extremely obsessed with medicine.

Compared to the old nun Wei Yunting found for her in her previous life, Xiao Sheng found a famous doctor for her in this life, a particularly skilled and miraculous doctor.

Anyway, Xiao Sheng had dealt with these old men in his previous life, so he knew what they liked and what they feared. With just a few moves, they nodded in agreement.

If Jiang Tian learns from them, she will definitely learn better than she did in her previous life.

By the time Xiao Sheng entered the palace, the old emperor was already furious.

He didn't expect Xiao Shengzhen to run away; even he couldn't find out where he went.

However, the old emperor was not wary.

Xiao Sheng was someone he personally raised; he knew better than anyone how useless Xiao Sheng was.

If it weren't for those aristocratic families keeping a close eye on things, the old emperor wouldn't even bother dealing with Xiao Sheng.

When the old emperor asked him where he had gone, Xiao Sheng replied, "I went to a temple and became a monk for a while."

...The old emperor was too lazy to ask any more questions.

It's pointless to ask!

After Xiao Sheng returned, he ignored the old emperor.

He is an ignorant and incompetent person. Forcing him to change will only arouse suspicion.

Some things are best done in secret.

However, to Xiao Sheng's surprise, his rebirth might have brought a new turning point to some things.

The old emperor had become increasingly fond of beautiful women lately, and the noble families were happy to see him neglect state affairs and indulge in women, so they presented him with many beautiful women.

One of the women, who was eager to climb the social ladder, took a risk and secretly drugged his tea in order to have his child.

Throughout history, there have been numerous cases of people getting sick from taking medication.

The old emperor was too old and in poor health, so he also became one of them.

He suffered a stroke.

Everyone was shocked to see that he had a crooked mouth and nose and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
