For several days in a row, Shen Yan was somewhat depressed.
Lady Zhenguo saw that he seemed lost in thought and wanted to ask him what was wrong, but how could Shen Yan dare to reveal the truth?
He secretly harbored a thought: he wanted to know what kind of magic Jiang Tian possessed that made a king fall for her...
Since he wanted to test her strengths and weaknesses, Shen Yan naturally wanted to get close to her.
Having figured things out, he immediately began preparations for his second visit to Jiang Tian.
He thought that his good friend had witnessed that thrilling scene with him, and perhaps had the same thought as him, so he shared his idea.
After listening, Xiao Linghan looked at him quietly for a long time: "That is the Emperor's woman, not someone you or I can lay a finger on."
"What are you talking about? She's twelve years older than me. Why would I want to lay a finger on her? I'm just curious. Don't you think that lady is quite interesting? Even the Emperor is captivated by her."
Seeing Shen Yan's enthusiastic expression, Xiao Linghan remained silent for a while, then shook his head: "You go if you want, I won't join in the fun."
Shen Yan glanced at Xiao Linghan: "You're really not going?"
Xiao Linghan responded indifferently: "Since she is of such high status, we should stay away from her. Who knows if it might bring trouble upon us?"
Having been exposed to a great deal of political maneuvering since childhood, Shen Yan naturally knew what he should and shouldn't do.
He wouldn't let himself get into such a crisis.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything out of line."
Seeing that Shen Yan had made up his mind, Xiao Linghan did not try to persuade him further.
He nodded silently.
Because of Xiao Linghan's refusal, Shen Yan became more cautious.
If I were to meet Jiang Tian without a proper excuse, the Emperor might misunderstand.
After pondering deeply for several days, Shen Yan decided to use a self-inflicted injury ruse.
If you get injured while hunting in the mountains and want to get bandaged up nearby, you can only go to Jiang Tian's manor.
Having made up his mind, Shen Yan went up the mountain the next day. He was extremely ruthless to himself, ignoring the traps set by the hunters. As soon as he turned slightly to the side, his arm was pierced and torn.
Despite the pain in his body, Chen Yan felt joy in his heart.
He knocked on the gate of the manor with his flustered servants, explained his purpose, and the servants told him to wait outside. Sure enough, he soon saw Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian was dressed simply, her hair casually tied up in a bun, yet her features were exquisite, her temperament outstanding, and she possessed a unique charm.
Are you injured?
Shen Yan was a little nervous when he saw Jiang Tian. Just as he was about to greet her, Jiang Tian asked him a question.
Sensing the coldness in her tone, Shen Yan felt a deep sense of loss.
"Yes, I wasn't paying attention on the way and ran into a trap. I couldn't avoid it, so I had to trouble you, Aunt."
"It's nothing."
Jiang Tian said two words to him, then turned to the maid beside her and instructed, "Find our personal doctor to examine him, bandage him up, and prepare a carriage to take him back."
The maidservant immediately agreed.
Jiang Tian nodded slightly to Shen Yan, then turned and left.
That's really straightforward.
Shen Yan could only hide his disappointment, letting the doctor take his pulse, apply medicine, and bandage his wound.
After the bandage was finished, the maid standing beside him politely asked him to leave, saying that the carriage outside was ready.
Shen Yan risked getting injured, but Jiang Tian only said two words to him before she was reluctant to leave.
He agreed verbally, but his steps slowed down more and more.
Halfway there, he heard cheers, and vaguely heard the word "Madam," without knowing what had happened.
Shen Yan didn't know what had gotten into him at the time. He said he needed to use the restroom and then abandoned everyone who was with him.
He ran wildly to the source of the cheers and saw a group of people surrounding Jiang Tian, with a target in the distance.
Before he could react, he saw Jiang Tian squint, decisively draw her bow, and release the arrow. With a "whoosh," the arrowhead hit the bullseye!
Immediately, cheers erupted again!
Jiang Tian's heroic and spirited demeanor, and her bright and enthusiastic smile, captivated Shen Yan.
Just then, Jiang Tian turned to look in the direction where Shen Yan was, her smile vanished, and she frowned: "Who's there?"
