But Yan Heng had no such intention at all.

Without his decree, Xu Jingxiu dared not leave the capital without authorization, so he could only wait it out.

Xu Jingxiu didn't know when it would end.

After returning to the carriage, neither Xu Jingxiu nor Wei Zhirou spoke.

Upon returning to his residence, Xu Jingxiu immediately headed towards his study.

Wei Zhirou followed him into the study.

Xu Jingxiu didn't see Wei Zhirou until he closed the door.

Wei Zhirou was already very tired. She was exhausted and felt terrible, but she had to finish dealing with the important matters first.

Looking at Xu Jingxiu's chilling face, Wei Zhirou spoke up: "General, go and beg the Emperor to let us retire and return to our hometown. Just say you are ill."

Xu Jingxiu suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Wei Zhirou: "What are you saying?"

A tear rolled down her cheek, but Wei Zhirou tried her best to remain calm: "Didn't you see how favored Jiang Tian is? Once she gives birth to a prince, our family will have no way to survive."

"The Emperor isn't bothering you now, just so you'll have some self-awareness and leave the capital as soon as possible, so you don't get in his way."

"You will retire as a meritorious official, and the Emperor will not treat you unfairly. We can return to our hometown, where we can live a life of wealth and comfort, which is also a very good life."

Wei Zhirou could no longer bear the increasingly unbearable life in the capital.

Rather than watching her husband strive for fame and fortune, she preferred a simple life.

Without seeing Jiang Tian, ​​Xu Jingxiu and Wei Zhirou would not repeatedly lose their composure.

pity--

"Smack!"

Wei Zhirou was slapped hard across the face, leaving her dazed and feeling as if her heart and lungs were about to burst.

"You vile woman, what nonsense are you spouting! I've worked so hard for so long, why should I give up! You're just a woman, stay home and guard your own quarters, get out!"

Xu Jingxiu's eyes were bloodshot and his hair was disheveled, making him look like a demon and inspiring fear in people.

Wei Zhirou stared blankly at her face, never imagining that one day she would be beaten by the man who claimed to cherish her!

The pain on my face was nothing compared to the slightest bit of sorrow in my heart.

Not long after, a pool of blood flowed from beneath her.

Upon seeing this, Xu Jingxiu's pupils contracted!

…………

"...She had a difficult labor, which lasted a day and a night, and finally gave birth to a baby boy. The doctor said that the baby was premature and weak from birth, but with proper care, he might survive. As for the lady, she had a brush with death, but her life is no longer in danger. However, if she wants to have another child in the future, I'm afraid the chances are slim."

Yan Heng listened to the guard's description without saying a word.

He did not avoid Jiang Tian.

It doesn't matter if she knows some things.

"You may leave."

After the guards left, Yan Heng waved his hand in front of his eyes: "What, were you stunned?"

Jiang Tian took his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen again.

Her expression was not good, and she even sighed. After looking at Yan Heng for a long time, she managed to stammer out, "...I don't know what to say."

Yan Heng: "..."

He was cold and aloof by nature, and the chaos in the Xu family had almost nothing to do with him.

He didn't make a move, which instead threw Xu Jingxiu off balance.

"You don't need to worry, your and my child will be born at full term."

Yan Heng was alarmed when he heard about the dangers of premature birth.

Jiang Tian had a hint of melancholy in her eyes: "Wei Zhirou's father once harmed me, and she once ordered her maid to use Xu Jingxiu's token of love to scare me. The inner quarters are a woman's battlefield. Whether she fights or not, I have already lost."

"I never imagined she would fall into such a state."

Jiang Tian looked at Yan Heng and asked him a question: "Your Majesty, what do you regard me as?"
