Yan Heng paused for several seconds. It didn't hurt, but he hadn't expected this woman to go so far...
However, Jiang Tian was still asleep and had no idea what she had just done.
Yan Heng gritted his teeth, held back his breath, placed his hand on her shoulder, and reached inside.
Jiang Tian, who was still in a half-awake state, suddenly woke up laughing.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she leaned on Yan Heng's shoulder, utterly exhausted.
"You're so despicable..."
Yan Heng was amused by her: "Say it again."
Jiang Tian stopped talking, she just sighed almost imperceptibly: "Last night you were practicing by pulling my leg, and now you're making me get up so early this morning, you really don't know how to be gentle with a woman..."
Yan Heng didn't want to listen to her.
In winter, he postponed his court sessions.
He had just finished practicing martial arts and washing up before heading to court, taking Jiang Tian with him as a way of remembering her.
Because he was going to accompany her to exercise, Jiang Tian didn't wear any more complicated clothes. Seeing that she was dressed neatly and her hair was only styled in a bun, Yan Heng's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.
However, by the time she finished practicing, Jiang Tian didn't even have the strength to walk back.
Yan Heng asked her with some suspicion, "Is your health really that bad?"
Jiang Tian forced a fake smile: "I can't compare to you..."
Knowing that she was cursing him in her heart again, Yan Heng pretended not to notice.
He told her to go back to the palace, and then he went to court.
However, when he left court, his expression was unusually gloomy.
Xu Jingxiu was not one to surrender easily.
After returning home, he thought it over and over again, and still decided to take a risky approach.
He had not forgotten that the Yanheng regime was not stable at present.
If Yan Heng is going to mistreat his former heroes for the sake of a woman, then Xu Jingxiu must also fight for himself.
He spread the news that the favored concubine in Yanheng Palace was his ex-wife.
When this news came out, all the officials were shocked.
In fact, they were all trying to find out who the woman Yan Heng was hiding in the palace was, but the emperor didn't know how he did it, and no one could figure it out.
Now that the truth has been revealed, they immediately understand.
I never imagined that the emperor would favor such a lowly woman.
She's been married before and has had children, how could he possibly want her?
Upon learning the news, the officials immediately petitioned Yan Heng to select candidates for the imperial concubine selection.
They wouldn't go against Yan Heng, but it was utterly absurd that he would favor a woman whose reputation was ruined.
It would be better to start the talent show quickly. With more women to meet, Yan Heng wouldn't waste time on just one woman.
Yan Heng seemed to turn a deaf ear to the appeals of his officials.
He continued to do as he pleased, attending court as usual, and ignoring all the memorials requesting the selection of imperial concubines.
But the harder he tried to suppress it, the louder the noise outside became.
Gradually, the sound reached the palace.
As soon as Yan Heng entered, he saw that Jiang Tian's eyes were still red.
It seems she found out too.
Yan Heng observed her expression, waiting for her to speak.
Jiang Tian didn't say anything else, but first told the palace maids and eunuchs to leave.
After they left, Jiang Tian went over to him, tugged at his sleeve, and said in an unexpectedly firm tone, "I don't care, this is the person you want. I don't care what you do, I can only follow you for the rest of my life."
Her face was tense, but her expression betrayed her nervousness.
Yan Heng looked at her again and again, and finally couldn't help but laugh.
He pulled her into his arms and said, "Yes, you are the one I want, so I will not abandon you."
Jiang Tian looked at him for a while and, finding that what he said was true, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Yan Heng could react, Jiang Tian started pulling on his belt.
What are you going to do now?
