Yan Heng was wondering if he had become a tyrannical ruler.
Just because Jiang Tian was wronged by her ex-husband, he wanted to avenge her by making a meritorious official suffer a fate worse than death.
This is not the style of a wise ruler.
He always wanted to be a wise ruler, to be admired by future generations.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Tian whispered bad things about Xu Jingxiu in his ear.
"He dared to openly stop the carriages of ordinary people, and he even dared to speak rudely to his former wife. Even his wife's maids were extremely arrogant. Clearly, their household had an ostentatious style."
“You sent him to the border. Even if he doesn’t do anything significant, now that he knows you’re my lover, he might…”
Yan Heng had his eyes closed, but upon hearing the words "mistress," he couldn't help but interrupt Jiang Tian.
"mistress?"
Jiang Tian looked innocent: "Yes, according to popular belief, you are my lover."
Yan Heng's feelings were complicated. He never expected that one day he would become Jiang Tian's lover.
But he quickly denied Jiang Tian's statement: "You were divorced for two years before I got together with you. I am not your lover. Don't talk nonsense."
“Xu Jingxiu doesn’t think that way. When we divorced, he said that I would be his for life. If I dared to go out and mess around with other people, he would definitely kill me and my lover.”
Yan Heng recalled Xu Jingxiu calling him a coward and a spineless coward, and guessed that he might have actually said that.
"Besides, he becomes arrogant once he gains power. Even if we tolerate him now, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause once he's in power. How troublesome will it be for you to deal with him then?"
"How can we employ someone who can't even keep the inner quarters peaceful? So you'd better get rid of him quickly, then we can all have an easier time."
Yan Heng thought to himself that this was probably what they called pillow talk.
But he had to admit that Jiang Tian had the same idea as him.
Now that Xu Jingxiu knows about his relationship with Jiang Tian, he will definitely be on edge and might even do something desperate.
After all, Jiang Tian was between them.
Jiang Tian suffered so much injustice in the Xu family, it's impossible for Yan Heng to be completely unperturbed.
Moreover, Xu Jingxiu was inherently suspicious, and if the emperor did not value him, it was only a matter of time before he went astray.
For the sake of a woman, Yan Heng shouldn't have crippled Xu Jingxiu.
However... Yan Heng's heart had already tipped in favor of Jiang Tian.
Moreover, Xu Jingxiu's actions had indeed angered him, and remaining indifferent was not Yan Heng's style.
Many thoughts raced through Yan Heng's mind, and he decided to wait and see.
If Xu Jingxiu doesn't resort to underhanded tactics, Yan Heng will naturally give him a way out.
But if he goes astray, Yan Heng will not let him off the hook.
After figuring it out, Yan Heng let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Jiang Tian looked him over: "Your Majesty, you will help me do it, won't you?"
Yan Heng objectively told her, "Being a seductive concubine is not suitable for you."
Although he spoiled her, Jiang Tian still retained a gentle and kind nature at heart.
She really racked her brains to say all this today.
Yan Heng hugged her: "Alright, stop thinking about it, go to sleep."
Jiang Tian seemed to understand the unspoken meaning in his words, and this time she obediently closed her eyes.
After the two returned to the palace, Yan Heng had just given orders regarding Xu Jingxiu's matter when someone from the Imperial Hospital requested an audience.
Yan Heng had the eunuch bring him in.
