"Take good care of yourself during this time. This estate has hot springs, so take Jinxiu there for a soak when you have time. Once you're better, you'll need to get back in shape."
Jiang Tian has always been a woman of her word, and Jiang Yu, who grew up under her care, has long since developed the habit of being obedient.
She nodded obediently.
"Alright, thankfully we're on the estate, so we don't need to pay our respects to anyone. Go to sleep. Before long, news of the Wei family's affairs will have spread throughout the capital."
Wei Jinxiu thought she would have insomnia because of her complicated and unspeakable feelings, but surrounded by the warm aura of her mother and aunt, she quickly fell asleep.
The Wei family's affairs had already become the talk of the town.
Jiang Tian stayed at the Wei family's house until dawn, then took Jiang Yu and Wei Jinxiu back to the manor to see a doctor. After they had eaten, quite some time had passed.
While the three were having a long conversation, news of the Wei family's situation spread rapidly.
Even if others didn't want to know, the guards went to knock on the door in the middle of the night, causing so many people to stay up, and the gifts they received even had to be returned. It was truly a rare occurrence in the world!
Many officials were so angry they turned pale. The gifts Wei Wenxuan sent were all extraordinary, and a large portion of them were given away as favors to others.
Now they want to take it back? That would ruin their scholarly pride!
Upon learning the news, the censor impeached Wei Wenxuan during court.
He favored his concubine over his wife and even stole his father-in-law's belongings to give away... one thing after another, he was simply ruining the reputation of officials!
After hearing the censor's impeachment, the emperor of this dynasty smiled in a way that was hard to decipher.
The emperor was in his twenties, with a handsome and charming face, giving people a sense of being both righteous and wicked.
He was the late emperor's least favorite son because he had a feminine appearance and was once scolded by the late emperor for having an air of effeminacy about him.
Later, he became a military general and fought on the battlefield, which eventually suppressed his negative reputation.
During the struggle for the throne, he was the least favored, but unexpectedly he actually sat in that position.
Seeing the indignant censor, Liu Jue said calmly, "Those who involve human lives should be dealt with accordingly. As for Wei Wenxuan, demote him to the seventh rank and let his superior arrange a place for him."
Only officials of the fourth rank in this dynasty are qualified to attend court. Wei Wenxuan, a fifth-rank civil official, was demoted to the seventh rank. His colleagues could trample on him, which was more painful than killing him.
The civil and military officials had long been accustomed to Liu Jue's recklessness. After finishing this matter, they went on to report on other things.
After the court session, Liu Jue wrote an imperial edict ordering Jiang Tian to enter the palace the next day.
The censor did not mention Jiang Tian, but Liu Jue was not one to be blind and deaf. He naturally did not overlook Jiang Tian, who played an important role in this matter.
Jiang Tian respectfully accepted the imperial edict and gave the eunuch a generous reward.
The next day, she entered the palace dressed as a noblewoman.
Liu Jue was an anomaly. He had been on the throne for five or six years, yet his harem remained empty. He was obsessed with Taoism and brought several children from the Liu family into the palace to raise, thus silencing the officials.
If there were women in the harem, Liu Jue would not have summoned Jiang Tian.
When Jiang Tian bowed to him, Liu Jue was feeding the birds.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
He doesn't look like an emperor; he looks more like a spoiled brat.
"Please rise, Madam."
Liu Jue smiled at her.
Jiang Tian stood up, her demeanor perfectly composed.
Liu Jue looked her over and said, "Five years have passed since we last met, and you are even more radiant than before."
Liu Jue had a very deep impression of Jiang Tian.
During that desperate battle, Xu Changsheng took a knife for him, even though he was stabbed through, he still managed to hold on and return to the city.
