If she were as stubborn as her father, Yan Heng would have to go to great lengths to change her mind.

Thankfully, it wasn't.

Once Jiang Tian understands the importance of rank, she will come to him to ask for it herself.

In an instant, he had a change of heart, and the gloom between his brows disappeared.

Both of them were fully aware of this power struggle, but neither of them said it aloud.

With a huge weight lifted from Jiang Tian's heart, she recovered quickly.

Yan Heng isn't an animal, so naturally he hasn't touched her these past few days.

On the third day after she recovered, the toxins took effect.

During this time, Jiang Tian has taken good care of herself; her skin has become even whiter and more flawless, and her face is as beautiful as a flower.

Perhaps it was because she knew that the two had a conflict some time ago, and Yan Heng had made many concessions, so she gave him whatever he wanted all night.

Yan Heng never makes a losing deal.

If he gives way one step, he'll take ten steps forward.

That night, from dusk till dawn, Jiang Tian clung to Yan Heng's shoulders, feeling drowsy and never fully awake.

The onset of the toxins was different from before.

Yan Heng would normally have restrained himself, but the poison took effect, and he couldn't care less about anything else.

He was like a greedy wolf, relentlessly pursuing her.

She closed her eyes and tilted her head back, accepting his kisses that reached every inch of her body...

After one night, Yan Heng regained his spirits and looked at Jiang Tian with the same fondness he had for her.

He sometimes wondered if the poison might damage his brain.

Otherwise, why would he feel content just sleeping in her arms?

Time flies, and Jiang Tian has been living in the palace for several months now.

People in the palace still address her as Madam.

Although Yan Heng did not issue an imperial decree to bestow any honors upon Jiang Tian, ​​no one dared to neglect her.

It's because Yan Heng stays at her place every day.

Even when she was menstruating, Yan Heng still insisted that she accompany him.

With such great favor, even those without official rank would not dare to be negligent.

People in the palace were secretly speculating that Yan Heng might not grant Jiang Tian a title because her status was too low.

The Emperor is currently working diligently to govern the country. If he suddenly bestows such a great honor upon a woman of humble status, it will surely attract the attention of all the civil and military officials.

It would be better to pamper her first, and then give her a title when the Empress enters the palace.

There were similar examples in previous dynasties.

When the officials saw that Yan Heng had favored Jiang Tian but hadn't given her a position, they thought that the emperor was truly unfathomable and clearly regarded women as nothing.

They hesitated, no longer daring to easily send their daughter inside.

They had never seen the woman in the palace before, so they assumed she was of ordinary status, but their daughter was naturally of noble birth.

If you are sent to the palace, but the emperor doesn't even give you a position, what's the difference between that and becoming a palace maid?

By then, entering the palace would no longer be a matter of honor, but rather a humiliation.

These officials value their reputation above all else and will not give their enemies any ammunition to criticize them.

As a result, the matter of their daughter entering the palace was dropped.

Since it wasn't time for the talent show yet, the officials weren't in a hurry.

Yan Heng didn't care about what the officials thought. At this moment, he looked at Jiang Tian and had a headache: "Why are you unhappy again?"

Yan Heng was in a very good mood during this period, and his relationship with Jiang Tian became increasingly harmonious.

Although the two had a falling out a while ago, after making up, Jiang Tian tried to please him in a subtle way, and even tried many different positions on the bed.

Yan Heng was riding high when he entered the palace one day, only to find that Jiang Tian was somewhat unhappy.

She won't say she's unhappy; she'll just be much colder than usual.

Yan Heng didn't want to guess what she was thinking, so he asked her directly.
