The imperial physician beamed with joy, his beard twitching as he laughed: "Your Majesty, the poison you suffered from has been cured!"

Yan Heng guessed that he had come for this very reason.

But he wasn't greatly affected.

Jiang Tian is currently residing in the palace. With her help, he has the antidote, and everything is going smoothly.

But the poison has been neutralized, which is a good thing.

He quickly took the antidote prepared for him by the imperial physician.

Actually, I didn't feel anything.

He slept in his own bedroom that night.

To prevent Jiang Tian from overthinking, he even sent a eunuch to deliver a letter to her. He didn't say it outright, but the implication was that he was going to deal with Xu Jingxiu, and that he wouldn't have time to sleep.

Jiang Tian sent him a message saying she would come and keep him company.

He didn't agree. Why would he make her make such a trip in this freezing weather? He just told her he would visit her tomorrow.

The next day, he went to Jiang Tian's palace and found her playing backgammon with the palace maids.

The atmosphere was very lively, and Jiang Tian's smile never stopped.

Yan Heng felt a little resentful thinking about how he had been busy taking care of her inside and out, while she was reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.

After the palace maids had all left, Yan Heng looked at her with a half-smile: "You really have a lot of leisure time."

Hearing what he said, she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and handed him a shirt she had sewn.

"Yes, I even made you some clothes recently. Look, isn't my stitching much better than before?"

Yan Heng originally came under the pretext of questioning and punishing him.

Dealing with Xu Jingxiu is not so simple. He is a general on the border, and any move he makes will have far-reaching consequences. If Yan Heng wants to do anything, he must plan carefully.

He had to get something out of Jiang Tian somehow.

But once he saw this garment, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

These clothes are much better than the previous ones.

Yan Heng watched quietly for a few seconds, then said to Jiang Tian, ​​"Hold out your hand."

Jiang Tian generously extended her hand: "Don't worry, I didn't hurt myself at all. I'm not that stupid."

Yan Heng examined her carefully for a while before belatedly realizing that since they were together day and night, he would definitely be the first to know if she had injured her hand.

That means her skills have improved.

"Please try it on."

As Jiang Tian spoke, she helped him take off his clothes.

Yan Heng didn't say anything; he also wanted to try it on.

Sure enough, this outfit is much better looking than the previous one.

Jiang Tian looked you up and down and said, "You are really beautiful."

No matter how frustrated Yan Heng was, it all disappeared under her repeated attacks.

Without saying a word, he picked up Jiang Tian and walked inside.

Even after the poison was neutralized, his thoughts never truly subsided...

More than ten days have passed since the Lantern Festival, and the day has finally come for Xu Qingshu to enter the palace.

Xu Qingshu brought her some new news: Wei Zhirou wanted to see Jiang Tian and was currently waiting outside the palace.

Jiang Tian took out the pastries that Yan Heng had recently given her and gave them to Xu Qingshu to eat. When she heard what Xu Qingshu said, her face remained expressionless.

Xu Qingshu looked unhappy: "She insisted on using her status as my stepmother to force me to take her into the palace. I disagreed, but she insisted on following me and waiting outside the palace. She said that if I didn't see her, she would blame me and say that I was unfilial."

Jiang Tian was amused: "Has things been a bit unsettled at the Xu residence lately?"

Xu Qingshu nodded vigorously.

After encountering Yan Heng, Xu Jingxiu and Wei Zhirou returned home dejectedly.

Originally, others ignored Xu Qingshu, but that night, all the mysteries were solved.

Xu Jingxiu finally understood the meaning behind Jiang Tian's words.

Xu Qingshu was granted the title of Township Lady by Jiang Tian at the Emperor's request; it had nothing to do with him.

The Xu residence had been quiet for some time. When Xu Qingshu returned, she only saw the servants hurrying around, and she didn't know what they were doing.

She asked Jiang Tian with some concern, "Will Father do something to harm you?"
