Upon seeing Jiang Tian's tearful eyes, Yan Heng's first thought was: she truly loves me.
The excruciating pain he had been enduring was greatly relieved in an instant.
A smile unconsciously crept onto Yan Heng's lips. He wiped away her tears with his hand and asked gently, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Tian: "You didn't come to see me, nor did you have dinner with me. I sensed something was wrong, so I came to find you."
“I couldn’t wake you up when you were in a deep sleep, so I thought you were sick and summoned the imperial physician. He couldn’t withstand my questioning and had no choice but to tell me the truth. If you have any complaints, blame me and please don’t punish him.”
Jiang Tian held his hand, her voice tinged with nervousness.
Yan Heng had recently issued a decree that no one could stop Jiang Tian from coming to see him, so she entered openly and legitimately.
Upon closer reflection, it turns out he dug a hole for himself.
They were trying to save face, but now the truth has come out.
Yan Heng shook his head and smiled, somewhat helplessly: "Alright, you've seen it yourself, I'm perfectly fine."
Jiang Tian ignored his words and said, "I'll drink the medicine next time."
Yan Heng's expression clearly showed his disapproval. He had already endured it once, and he would certainly not be as embarrassed as he was this time next time.
Why drag Jiang Tian into this?
Faced with Jiang Tian's stubborn gaze, Yan Heng decided to hold back for now.
Maybe her period will be regular next time, and if it isn't, he has a way to fool her.
When Yan Heng thought of her face covered in tears, his heart softened involuntarily.
Let's go along with her wishes this time.
Seeing that he had acquiesced, Jiang Tian seemed a little happier, but she quickly calmed down: "How are you feeling? The imperial physician said that this pain can only be endured by yourself."
Yan Heng raised an eyebrow, his tone unchanged from usual: "What else could I do? Of course, it's excellent. I went to court today and was probably a little tired, so I took a nap. You don't need to worry about it."
Despite saying that, Yan Heng still felt a sense of pleasure seeing Jiang Tian holding his hand tightly.
"Since the pain cannot be relieved, I will stay with you tonight."
Jiang Tian gently rested her head on his chest, speaking softly and tenderly, showing her utter dependence on him.
Yan Heng loved seeing her like this.
However, he had to decline.
The imperial physicians had never been poisoned by this kind of poison before, and it was extremely strange. It was already quite remarkable that they were able to develop a medicine to delay the poisoning based on its composition. The research on other side effects was not clear.
They were unaware that after the outbreak was delayed, Yan Heng would become much more impulsive than before as the toxins accumulated.
Upon seeing Jiang Tian, Yan Heng's heart burned with desire.
Even though he knew it was caused by the medication, he still felt slightly uneasy.
However, Jiang Tian did not notice his embarrassment. She told him and went out to instruct the palace maid to bring over the clothes she would wear the next day.
Yan Heng had intended to tell her that it wasn't appropriate for the two of them to be too close during this period, but unexpectedly, Jiang Tian returned soon after leaving, her face showing surprise.
"Your Majesty, the first snow has fallen."
Winter came exceptionally early this year, and after summer, it grew colder day by day.
That is why Yan Heng issued an imperial decree instructing Xu Jingxiu to settle the soldiers down as soon as possible and return to the capital to have a good New Year.
With the arrival of winter, those covetous small tribes hibernate, and the most powerful enemy states were mostly dealt with before Yan Heng even became emperor, so they are no longer a threat.
