Liu Jue stared at Jiang Tian for a long time, then suddenly chuckled: "If you were the same gender as me, you'd probably be a womanizer and end up with a lot of romantic entanglements."

Women face such hardship in this world, yet Jiang Tian remains true to herself, even openly stating that she wants to have fun with a man. Putting aside their private affair, Liu Jue still admires her quite a bit.

She has come this far and enjoys such great freedom, and luck is certainly indispensable, but good luck is not something everyone can hold onto.

Her methods, her character, and her intelligence are all important factors that allow her to be so carefree today.

Liu Jue had always had a very good impression of her.

He knew that he was the one struggling with this issue.

Because he has possessed someone for too long, he doesn't want to let go.

He took a deep breath and slowly nodded: "Okay, I'll help you out."

"Thank you very much."

Jiang Tian smiled, looking quite happy.

Liu Jue recalled Xiao Linghan's face and thought to himself that Jiang Tian was quite shrewd; that Marquis of Yongning was truly a handsome man.

"You've gone to great lengths to choose him, so there's no need to humiliate him too much. He's still a nobleman, and even though he's fallen on hard times, he's developed some composure from childhood. If you can take good care of him, he'll surely bring you some joy."

Liu Jue was an emperor and a former general; he had his own way of judging people.

Xiao Linghan is far more complex than he appears on the surface.

If it weren't for the group of people behind him working together to hold him back, Xiao Linghan wouldn't have been stuck in a minor title.

Liu Jue's informants told him that Xiao Linghan had long been secretly plotting to send the Xiao family members to prison.

Unfortunately, Liu Jue was acting out of a grand plan for the world, and his plan did not allow anyone to escape his control.

Even knowing Xiao Linghan's inner schemes, Liu Jue would never give way to him.

The outcome became clear: none of the Xiao family members escaped; they were all imprisoned in the imperial jail.

The Xiao family made a mistake, and it was Liu Jue who condoned and set a trap. Xiao Linghan was just a minor marquis with little real power. How could he possibly contend with the emperor?

Thus, his plan was abandoned halfway through.

Liu Jue noticed Jiang Tian's casual attitude when talking about Xiao Linghan. Thinking that he was a brilliant and outstanding person, and considering that Jiang Tian might not meet anyone as good as him in the future, he couldn't help but say a few good words for him.

Even he himself didn't know what kind of attitude he was adopting when he said those words.

Are the wives in the inner quarters as considerate of their concubines as he is?

Liu Jue was amused by his own association.

But he had to admit that thinking about how much Jiang Tian valued him, and the coldness with which she mentioned Xiao Linghan, he still felt a faint sense of joy.

Sure enough, he was the most important one in Jiang Tian's heart, and that was enough.

“I saved his life, and he was willing to do anything for me. It was only right that he did so. You don’t need to speak well of him. If I didn’t want a child to inherit my talent, and if he wasn’t smart and his appearance happened to be among my choices, why would I have condescended to save his life?”

At this point, Jiang Tian rested her head on his neck and said softly, "If... if you hadn't taken the sterilization medicine for yourself, maybe I would have stolen a dragon seed and raised it."

"In short, you don't need to say anything good about him. I know your ideals and aspirations, and how admirable you are. He's just a loser, so how could I possibly be kind to him? You are the most important person in my heart."
