"If they can really sell me out of the palace, I will naturally be happy."

Mo Chenyuan stopped talking to her.

After many twists and turns, they arrived at a courtyard. Mo Chenyuan stopped and said to Jiang Tian, ​​"This is where your mother and your brother live now. After Old Madam Xiao ordered your mother to be kicked out, I secretly gave him some money, and he took your mother in to live here."

The courtyard looked quite dilapidated from a distance, which suggested that the rent was not expensive.

Jiang Tian nodded. She didn't knock on the door, but listened quietly from the other side.

The two people's conversation could be heard clearly.

“Mother, do you really not know where my elder sister is? The Prince’s Mansion said that if she returns, we can secretly inform the Prince’s Mansion and receive a reward of five hundred taels of silver. With that five hundred taels, I will definitely be able to turn my life around!” The man’s voice was rough and unpleasant.

"I don't know. That unfaithful woman ran away after entering the Prince's mansion. It would be better if she died outside," the old woman's voice replied.

As Mo Chenyuan listened, he observed Jiang Tian's expression.

Jiang Tian didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

After they went outside, seeing her calm and composed expression, Mo Chenyuan asked, "Do you still want a family like this?"

"Back then, I sold myself to get a doctor for my mother, and that was more than enough. This time, my brother sold me, and the last thread of our relationship is severed. Young master, I understand what you mean. After my father died, I had no relatives left."

Mo Chenyuan remained silent. He had brought Jiang Tian here with the intention of helping her see her family for who they truly were.

But seeing her pretending not to care, Mo Chenyuan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache: "I won't abandon you."

Jiang Tian was taken aback, then couldn't help but smile. Seeing that no one else had noticed, she secretly reached out and shook Mo Chenyuan's hand.

"I know you love me."

The two then went to visit the pastry shop that Jiang Tian used to run.

The old lady naturally didn't care about this pastry shop; it had been closed long ago after Jiang Tian left.

The once bustling place instantly became desolate.

This time, Jiang Tian's sadness was much more obvious: "The foundation I built with great difficulty has become so desolate in such a short time."

Mo Chenyuan remained silent.

On the way back, Jiang Tian leaned on Mo Chenyuan's shoulder: "I understand why you brought me out. Even if I have no relatives or friends after leaving the palace, and no one takes me seriously, at least I can go wherever I want. After being trapped in the Prince's mansion for so many years, I just want to live for myself for once."

Despite showing her so much, her will remained unchanged, and Mo Chenyuan should have been furious.

But he found that he wasn't angry at all; he simply adjusted his shoulder to make Jiang Tian more comfortable.

Once a person has made up their mind, they won't change it. Otherwise, how could they become more and more invested?

He held her in his arms, remaining silent.

Not being angry on the surface doesn't mean you're not feeling resentful inside.

That evening, Jiang Tian was forced to try other places besides the dragon bed.

She asked for leave again the next day.

When Eunuch Li called her over, her weariness was impossible to hide.

"Come and eat."

Upon seeing her, Mo Chenyuan's eyes softened slightly.

Seeing that Jiang Tian was struggling to walk, Mo Chenyuan thought that her physical strength was still too poor. He strode over, picked her up, and put her in his arms.

Jiang Tian lay down in his arms in a comfortable position, looking somewhat listless: "Your Majesty, we are not the same age. If you continue like you did last night, I won't be able to get up."

Mo Chenyuan's eyes showed a rare hint of grievance: "I kept it all night because you were not in good physical condition. Starting tomorrow, you need to start exercising."

Jiang Tian didn't want to talk anymore. Yes, it was her fault; she was too weak.

Seeing her annoyed, Mo Chenyuan smiled instead. He picked up his chopsticks and took some food: "Open your mouth."

Jiang Tian obediently opened her mouth, finished eating this piece, and then ordered another dish.

As Mo Chenyuan fed her, he said, "You're getting lazier and lazier."

Jiang Tian felt like she had no bones: "You're right."

Mo Chenyuan was already used to her occasional little temper tantrums. She was like a hedgehog, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment when she was willing to act coquettishly in his arms.

He fed her a lot of food, and when he saw that she was full, he gave her some water.

To express her appreciation, Jiang Tian turned her head and kissed his lips: "Your Majesty is so good to me."

It was supposed to be a light touch, but Mo Chenyuan pressed her head down with his large hand and kissed her, and most of her strength was drained away.

"I will soon be choosing an empress."

After a brief moment of tenderness, Mo Chenyuan suddenly spoke.

Jiang Tian's eyes lit up immediately: "You're going to choose an empress?"

Mo Chenyuan was amused by her words. He stared into her eyes and asked, "Yes, I am going to choose an empress. What are your thoughts on this?"

Jiang Tian couldn't hide the joy in her eyes: "This is naturally a great thing. With an empress, the emperor will surely be even more powerful."

"Then what should you do? You are my first woman. Do you think the Empress will let you go?"

Jiang Tian thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "I only enlightened the emperor, I haven't done anything else. The empress is tolerant and will let me off the hook."

Mo Chenyuan looked at her with a forced smile: "What if I were to marry a jealous empress?"

Jiang Tian's face fell immediately: "Your Majesty, a wife should be virtuous. As the mother of the nation, if you marry a jealous woman, won't the harem be in turmoil?"

Seeing that she was genuinely trying to persuade him, Mo Chenyuan finally couldn't hold back anymore. He cupped her face in his large hand and said, "You're always thinking about leaving. I've been so good to you, and you don't even care about me at all!"
