Yan Heng looked at her, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "This poison is very complex and cannot be cured overnight."
Jiang Tian frowned: "You..."
Yan Heng patted her back and told her about the detoxification process.
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Jiang Tian became even more stiff. She lowered her head and remained silent, her expression showing struggle.
Yan Heng: "You don't need to live here anymore. You should move to the palace."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian's expression changed drastically, and she looked at Yan Heng with a hesitant expression.
Yan Heng was in a good mood and asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Jiang Tian lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty may not know, but I am a discarded woman. It would be inappropriate for me to enter the palace."
Yan Heng's expression turned slightly cold.
Her reminder brought him back to Jiang Tian's other identity.
"His Majesty said last night that I can see my daughter today and that I will raise her myself..."
Jiang Tian added softly.
Her words carried an earnestness that she herself was unaware of.
Yan Heng looked at her, and the thought of her being someone else's wife and bearing his children made him feel a sense of unease.
However, he still did not let go of Jiang Tian.
Fortunately, the two divorced; otherwise, the woman he slept with would have had no choice but to be allowed by her husband.
“I remember it all,” Yan Heng said, stroking Jiang Tian’s hair as he pondered. “I will bestow upon her the title of Township Princess and bring her into the palace to live with you and your daughter in the same palace. What do you think?”
Jiang Tian stared wide-eyed at Yan Heng as if in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, how can my daughter be worthy of such a prestigious position?"
Yan Heng glanced at her, naturally because of her, his mother.
But he didn't say anything, only said calmly, "The position of village head is not very important. After you enter the palace, just stay with me and don't think too much about it."
At this moment, Jiang Tian's expression became evasive: "Your Majesty, if the officials knew that you had brought a divorced woman into the palace..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yan Heng understood the unspoken meaning behind her words.
Bringing her into the palace would be a simple matter, but her identity is indeed a bit troublesome.
Xu Jingxiu was still stationed in Liangzhou when he made his divorced wife a concubine, which naturally caused some people to gossip.
As a member of the general's family, Jiang Tian had attended many social events and had met quite a few people. She could easily keep it a secret, but Yan Heng did not want to feel so stifled.
Instead of revealing his own plans, he threw the question at Jiang Tian: "So what do you want? We have to share a room every ten days. I don't have time to travel back and forth."
When he mentioned sharing a room, Jiang Tian's earlobes turned a light red.
"I am but a commoner. If Your Majesty does not despise me, I would have no complaints about entering the palace as a slave or maid."
She placed herself in a very low position.
Yan Heng scrutinized her, sensing a hint of sadness in her expression.
He remembered that she was once the daughter of an imperial censor, but her fate had taken many twists and turns.
She divorced Xu Jingxiu and never saw her daughter again. Now that he has taken her as his concubine, she doesn't even dare to ask for a title.
They even said things like "serving someone as a slave or maid."
Yan Heng sneered, grabbed her waist and moved, and Jiang Tian lay beneath him.
Her expression was blank, yet also tense.
"I don't care about your past, but now you are mine. So remember this: never belittle yourself."
Yan Heng brushed his fingers across Jiang Tian's cheek.
She was gentle and beautiful, with a tender and graceful temperament. If she hadn't married Xu Jingxiu, she wouldn't have ended up in a divorce.
Jiang Tian seemed to be frightened by him, and this time she really didn't say a word.
Yan Heng was about to get up when his expression became somewhat subtle.
