Jiang Tian smiled and patted Xu Qingshu's head, saying only two words: "Don't be afraid."
Just those two words made Xu Qingshu burst into tears.
She really didn't understand why the Xu family's people kept haunting her.
Even though her mother has entered the palace, she is still being threatened by them because of her.
Xu Qingshu was just a little girl. No matter how much she knew, she still felt wronged for her mother.
She soon started sobbing uncontrollably.
The little girl, with her delicate features, was crying with tears streaming down her face; she looked so pitiful.
Even though she didn't say why she was crying, Jiang Tian seemed to understand and hugged her to comfort her for a while.
Finally, Jiang Tian assured her, "Nothing will happen. You can stay calm and peaceful as the head of your village, and continue your studies. I will take care of everything."
Xu Qingshu wanted to help, but she couldn't.
She could only study hard and not let her mother down.
"Go out and tell Wei Zhirou to wait. I need to ask the Emperor whether she can enter the palace. I begged the Emperor to give you ten more guards. Go live in the house he gave you and don't associate with the Xu family anymore."
Jiang Tian gave the instructions methodically.
Xu Qingshu agreed to all of them.
Finally, she hugged Jiang Tian before reluctantly leaving with the palace maids.
On the other side, Yan Heng had just finished listening to the reports from the guards when the eunuch announced that Jiang Tian had arrived.
Yan Heng knew she was coming, but he didn't expect her to come crying.
He frowned and went to help her up: "What are you doing? Who told you to cry?"
Jiang Tian didn't say anything, but buried her face in his shoulder and burst into tears.
After crying for a while, she slowly began to recount her conversation with Xu Qingshu.
“A-Shu is crying, and I want to cry too, but I am her mother. If I am not strong, she will definitely start to overthink. Besides you, in front of whom else can I cry?”
She has a whole host of fallacies.
Yan Heng felt uncomfortable seeing her cry, so he wiped away her tears with his fingers. Whether it was a ploy or something else, he didn't care.
"Alright, I understand what you mean. You can see Wei Zhirou if you want, or have her driven away if you don't."
"As for Xu Jingxiu," Yan Heng paused, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "you just wait, the results will be out soon."
Jiang Tian stared blankly at him, and then asked hesitantly, "Won't this affect your court?"
Naturally, it will not have any impact whatsoever.
Xu Jingxiu was someone Yan Heng had personally promoted.
If Jiang Tian hadn't appeared, Yan Heng would probably still have used him.
Although this person is wicked, he's still perfectly capable of being a loyal dog.
He is adept at assessing situations and always manages to avoid disaster.
But with Jiang Tian around, these things have to take a backseat.
Yan Heng held her shoulder: "If I'm even afraid of him, what kind of emperor am I?"
He then added, "Don't worry about these trivial matters, and stop crying in front of me in the future."
Jiang Tian obeyed this time.
Yan Heng glanced at her slightly reddened eyes and suddenly asked her a question: "How have you been feeling lately?"
Jiang Tian looked at him with some surprise: "You know my body better than I do."
Yan Heng didn't speak, but instead had the imperial physician take her pulse.
After such a long period of treatment, the therapeutic effect is naturally there.
The imperial physician smiled and replied to Yan Heng, "Your Majesty, the lady's health has been almost fully restored."
Yan Heng nodded and told him to step back.
Jiang Tian didn't know what he was going to do, but seeing that he was deep in thought, she didn't ask.
