If Jiang Tian had treated him gently, perhaps Shen Yan wouldn't have cared so much.

But Jiang Tian didn't.

After thinking about it all night, Shen Yan concluded that it was because he hadn't been friendly enough that Jiang Tian was indifferent to him.

So he racked his brains and found an excuse to go hunting, hoping to visit Jiang Tian.

He knew that Jiang Tian was now living on the nearby estate.

To make the lie more believable, Shen Yan even called Xiao Linghan along.

Xiao Linghan merely frowned at his foolish behavior but did not stop him.

Shen Yan wanted to show Jiang Tian his abilities, so he went up the mountain with Xiao Linghan, hoping to get some prey.

The two of them came up from another path, a secluded place that was discovered by Shen Yan in his childhood. Fortunately, both of them were skilled in martial arts, and ordinary people could not pass through it at all.

As soon as they arrived, they discovered that the entire mountain seemed to be sealed off, with guards everywhere.

Sensing something was wrong, the two could only retreat as they went.

They naturally knew that the imperial city held many secrets, and if they were to unfortunately learn something they shouldn't know, they might lose their lives.

Fortunately, they were highly skilled in martial arts and very cautious, so they were not discovered along the way.

After finally finding a hiding place, I planned to wait for the wind outside to die down before going out, but I didn't expect that the place would happen to be a spot with an excellent view.

Thus, they were forced to witness a secret.

Liu Jue and the others had naturally met them before, and Jiang Tian and the others also knew them.

They never even dared to dream of the two of them standing together and kissing.

Emperor Liu Jue of this dynasty was an extraordinary person.

Throughout history, after an emperor ascended the throne, he would naturally bestow titles upon all his three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.

Those who possess supreme power will not relinquish either their empire or their beautiful women.

But Liu Jue did the opposite. At the prime age of twenty-five, he had no concubines in the palace, but instead had a lot of random entertainment items.

Many censors advised him to have an heir as soon as possible, otherwise the country would be unstable.

Liu Jue listened to the advice and adopted a large number of children in the palace, and even hired famous teachers to teach them.

Now no one else had anything to say.

Throughout the centuries of dynastic changes, there have been precedents of emperors bringing their imperial relatives into the palace and having them succeed to the throne.

I thought that the emperor of this dynasty was pure and abstinent and would never be interested in women.

In the blink of an eye, they saw Liu Jue holding Jiang Tian as if she were a precious treasure.

That scene was so impactful that Shen Yan felt as if his soul was about to be scattered.

He never imagined that Liu Jue would choose a widow over so many stunningly beautiful women.

Moreover, Jiang Tian has only been in the capital for a short time!

After a long silence, he regained his composure and looked at Xiao Linghan, who had a cold expression, beside him. He reminded him with difficulty, "Both of us must keep this a secret. Neither of us can say a word about it."

Xiao Linghan looked at Shen Yan, and after a long while, nodded.

Shen Yan, who had originally planned to visit Jiang Tian, ​​had completely lost interest after stumbling upon her secret.

He mustered his strength and followed Xiao Linghan down the mountain without them noticing.

Neither of them was in the mood for anything else, and they soon parted ways.

Back home, Shen Yan was still somewhat dazed and confused.

The Emperor actually got together with Jiang Tian. What was he thinking?

Shen Yan racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

He heard that Jiang Tian was already thirty years old. If a woman of that age gets married early, she will have grandchildren in a few years.

But the Emperor held her so tightly, and when he kissed her, he seemed extremely possessive...

Shen Yan then thought of Jiang Tian.

She was so cold and distant towards him, but when she was with the Emperor, she seemed to become completely limp.

The image of the two embracing quietly in the sunset was etched into Shen Yan's heart.
