It has to be said that Liu Jue is too smart; he always makes sure to get a reward for what he does.

This time, his rescue of Xiao Linghan was not for nothing.

He took the evidence that Xiao Linghan had collected and combined it with the evidence he had obtained.

Later, based on this evidence, along with some key testimonies in his possession, he brought down several important officials from several factions.

These officials had no one to hate but Xiao Linghan.

However, Liu Jue himself said that he pardoned Xiao Linghan, but Xiao Linghan became an ordinary citizen. In order to show his magnanimity, he released Xiao Linghan from prison early on, and now no one knows where he is wandering in the world.

These people have nowhere to seek revenge.

When Xiao Linghan went to the Northwest with Jiang Tian, ​​he was free to roam as he pleased. The Northwest was not a place these officials could interfere with, and they could only feel frustrated.

In this way, Xiao Linghan's matter was resolved in a fair and square manner, without Xiao Linghan needing to hide his identity or make any sacrifices.

Liu Jue handled this matter brilliantly.

After finishing his business, he asked Jiang Tian for a reward.

Jiang Tian has been extremely kind to him during this time.

They both knew perfectly well that if they wanted to reunite in the Northwest in the future, they didn't know when would be.

But if Jiang Tian doesn't leave soon, she'll encounter even more problems.

The unrest in the capital was worsening day by day, and many families sensed that something was wrong, with an inexplicable sense of oppression creeping in.

Liu Jue naturally couldn't let Jiang Tian suffer any harm before he made a big move, so the two could only hug each other for a while before the storm came.

Jiang Tian knew that Liu Jue hadn't had many good days. He was either an unfavored prince or a general whose fate could change at any time. He had no time to enjoy life.

Even after becoming emperor, though he appeared to be a playboy, he actually had to exhaust his energy scheming.

He had never experienced a normal life, and all Jiang Tian could offer him was peace and tranquility.

Liu Jue originally thought that Jiang Tian couldn't cook, after all, Jiang Tian seemed to be out of touch with worldly affairs.

When he ate the birthday noodles that Jiang Tian had specially made for him, he stopped saying that.

His eyes sparkled as he looked at Jiang Tian, ​​almost mesmerized: "Qingqing, how come you can do everything? This noodle dish is really delicious."

"I've only ever made this noodle dish for one person, and that's you."

This greatly pleased Liu Jue.

He immediately made a promise: "I'll cook you a meal before you leave. Don't underestimate my cooking skills; I learn everything very quickly."

Jiang Tian smiled and said, "I love eating whatever you make."

Liu Jue finished the bowl of noodles carefully, even drinking all the soup.

He felt warm and comfortable, as if a warm current was flowing continuously from the bottom of his heart, spreading to his limbs, making him feel a little lazy.

But he couldn't be lazy, because Jiang Tian came to tug at him again.

Today is his birthday, but very few people actually know his real birthday.

Because the day he was born was considered very unlucky, bringing misfortune to his father.

The day he was born happened to be the cusp of two days. The eunuchs and palace maids who delivered him were afraid of angering the emperor and being implicated and beheaded, so they simply said that his birthday was the next day.

Anyway, the woman who gave birth to him was an unfavored palace maid. There were hardly any people around at the time, and no one cared that they lied about their birthdays.
