Liu Jue was almost floating on air after Jiang Tian's words. He knew very well that this woman was just coaxing him, deliberately saying sweet words to ease his sour feelings.
But he still felt a sweet sense of being pampered.
A woman's words can sometimes be as sweet as honey, and sometimes as sharp as a knife.
In moments of bliss, even he, the king of a nation, could not resist.
Of course, as for whether he regretted taking the medicine, he didn't.
Liu Jue knew just how corrupt these members of the royal family were. They had stepped over the corpses of millions to reach the supreme position, and were already burdened with sins.
He's clinging to this position and getting entangled with a group of people who're practically superhuman, all because he wants more people to survive.
As for his offspring, it's best not to leave them behind. If they inherit his father's throne, they might just become another incompetent ruler.
But that's the truth; it just doesn't work out as Jiang Tian says.
The smile that bloomed on Liu Jue's face finally carried a hint of sincerity.
"Qingqing, coax me a little more, I love hearing you say nice things to me."
Every time he heard Jiang Tian speak these words to him in a gentle and tender manner, he felt that he was being pampered.
This feeling is like encountering spring flowers in bloom, a gentle spring breeze, and warm spring water, cleansing the whole body.
Jiang Tian pulled the blanket over both of their heads: "We'll talk about the rest in private..."
The next day, feeling refreshed, Liu Jue first went to see Xiao Linghan.
Xiao Linghan has been subjected to a great deal of torture during this period.
As the Marquis of Yongning, his second uncle used his name to fool around outside and committed heinous crimes. He could not escape punishment for his crimes.
Torture is necessary.
However, perhaps because he was so good-looking, his face wasn't touched much; he was just beaten and had some superficial injuries.
He had quite a few wounds on his body, and they were quite gruesome.
After all, it's best to be cautious for fear of being scolded by those above.
While torture and forced confessions do exist, there are limits to how things should be handled.
Upon meeting the emperor, Xiao Linghan showed little emotion.
Liu Jue looked radiant. He stared at Xiao Linghan's face for a moment, then looked away.
"It seems you've been having a tough time lately."
Liu Jue said lazily.
"Your Majesty, I am perfectly well."
His charges have not yet been pronounced, and he is currently still the Marquis of Yongning.
"Whether it's good or bad, you know in your heart. I've come to you today to give you a few pointers. You should know that Lady Jinrong needs a man to serve her, and I've chosen you. Tomorrow you will go back to the Northwest with her."
Liu Jue spoke in a nonchalant tone, making it sound quite easy.
Xiao Linghan suddenly raised his head, a flash of shock passing through his eyes.
“You don’t need to be shocked. Don’t think I don’t know. You and Shen Yan both saw me climbing the mountain with her.”
It has to be said that with each passing year comes a year more experience.
Liu Jue was already incredibly intelligent, almost supernatural, and he had endured far more trials than ordinary people since childhood. It's impossible to count how many tricks he had up his sleeve.
At the time, Shen Yan and Xiao Linghan both thought they hadn't been discovered and cautiously descended the mountain.
In fact, Liu Jue had everything under control.
Liu Jue knew perfectly well when the two of them went up the mountain, when they came down, and from which direction they witnessed him and Jiang Tian.
Of course, Liu Jue was not afraid at all.
If these two people were mentally sound, they wouldn't be talking nonsense.
Rather than summoning them to the palace for some pointers, it would be better to pretend that neither side knew anything about the matter.
