Since Yan Heng wanted her to make the decision herself, Jiang Tian found a palace maid and asked her to tell Wei Zhirou that she would not see her.

She said those words in front of Yan Heng.

Yan Heng was left to her.

Not long after the palace maid left, the evening meal was served.

After the two had dinner and washed up, they lay down on the bed.

Jiang Tian rested her head on Yan Heng's chest, but did not sleep.

Yan Heng showed no intention of harming her, but his eyes remained open.

"Your Majesty, is something on your mind?"

Jiang Tian looked up at him.

Yan Heng stroked her incredibly soft hair: "Why do you ask that?"

"Today is the ten-day deadline," Jiang Tian reminded him.

Yan Heng gazed intently at her: "I just had some news to tell you. The Imperial Hospital has developed an antidote."

In a sense, once the antidote was developed, Jiang Tian's uniqueness disappeared.

The reason she held such an important place in Yan Heng's heart was largely due to the poison he had inflicted.

But now that the antidote is available and the poison in Yan Heng's body has dissipated, Jiang Tian is no different from an ordinary woman.

Yan Heng observed Jiang Tian's expression.

The first thing Jiang Tian said was, "How is your health? Does this mean the toxin won't affect you anymore?"

“It’s all resolved, it won’t have any further impact,” Yan Heng replied.

"Then I'm relieved." Jiang Tian said naturally.

Yan Heng moved his hand, and Jiang Tian rolled over and lay on top of him.

"And what about you? Do you know that from now on, I no longer need to value you so much because of poison?"

Jiang Tian didn't look him in the eye. Her face was close to his, and her voice was low: "Of course I know, but nothing is more important than your health."

Yan Heng stroked her neck, his tone unhurried: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Jiang Tian's voice carried a hint of unspoken probing: "Will you still find other women?"

Yan Heng didn't answer directly, but instead asked her, "What will you do if you really do look for them?"

Jiang Tian finally deigned to look up at him, and Yan Heng noticed that her eyes were wet again.

"The wine shouldn't be too bitter or too spicy; it's best if it's sweet."

Yan Heng had not forgotten what Jiang Tian had once said.

If he finds another woman, then give her a cup of poison.

A cold glint suddenly appeared in Yan Heng's eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, I just don't want to continue living on the streets."

Jiang Tian lowered her head again and hugged his neck. Yan Heng felt a wetness.

"When I met Xu Jingxiu, I wasted so many years, living a life that was neither human nor ghost. Then I met you, and I realized that our statuses were not commensurate at all. You were the emperor, and I was a discarded wife, even with a child. If it weren't for the accident, we would never have crossed paths."

"All along, I've been the one begging you to do this and that for me. I have nothing, nothing to give you except myself."

"You can take my life, just don't let me see you with another woman."

The dampness was spreading.

Yan Heng felt a chill.

But he finally heard Jiang Tian's statement.

To be honest, he should be happy.

However... he understood perfectly what Jiang Tian meant.

As she said, he was the king of a country, so the queen he was to marry naturally had to be of noble status.

Jiang Tian, ​​with her status as an abandoned woman alone, faces countless difficulties.

But--

Yan Heng finally raised his hand to cup her face and gently kissed away her tears.

He was the ruler of a country, the supreme emperor. He emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, all for the sake of reaching the highest point.

But he never imagined that he would fall for a woman.

His gentle tears dissolved all the chasms in his heart.

Yan Heng cupped her face in his hands and stared at her, saying, "Don't cry."

Jiang Tian couldn't stop crying; her body was trembling as she sobbed, "What...what do you want me to do?"

Yan Heng paused for a moment, then said to her, "Give me a child."
