Xu Jingxiu remained even more terrified.
If he can't even return to the border, there's no suitable position for him in the capital.
Moreover, the Emperor already had some dissatisfaction with him, and he was constantly in the Emperor's way in the capital. Who knows what kind of situation he would end up in?
Xu Jingxiu couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong.
Left with no other choice, he had to go back first.
What he couldn't understand, Xu Qingshu might have known.
……………………
Upon learning that Xu Jingxiu had left with a limp, Yan Heng slowly drank a cup of tea.
He didn't mention to Jiang Tian that he had punished Xu Jingxiu, and instead acted as usual.
After the snow fell, the weather grew increasingly cold, and Jiang Tian became more and more attached to him. Whenever Yan Heng entered the palace, Jiang Tian would follow him wherever he went.
It's even worse at night.
The room was warm, but Jiang Tian still needed Yan Heng to hold her tightly before she could fall asleep.
In her words, "The Emperor is hot, and I rely on you to keep warm every day."
What else could Yan Heng say but to indulge her?
It snowed heavily again that day, and Jiang Tian said excitedly, "Your Majesty, let's go out and enjoy the snow scenery for a while."
Yan Heng put down the book in his hand, silently held her hand, and frowned slightly: "Your hands are too cold."
Yan Heng still remembers what Xu Jingxiu said that day.
After giving birth to a daughter, Jiang Tian remained childless for many years, which may be related to her health.
He had arranged for a royal physician to treat Jiang Tian's health well in advance.
The imperial physician told him the truth: Jiang Tian's body needed proper care and nourishment.
In that kind of village, she even had difficulty getting water in winter, let alone taking care of her health.
Two years after their divorce, Jiang Tian's health suffered greatly.
This can't be rushed. Even though Jiang Tian looks healthy and can run and jump, the damage inside her body hasn't been fully repaired yet.
Yan Heng was already very health-conscious, and he had many demands on Jiang Tian.
If Jiang Tian weren't too weak to practice martial arts, Yan Heng would have loved to have her practice horse stance every day to improve her health.
He wanted to have a child with Jiang Tian.
He is currently poisoned, so the two of them will not have children if they have sex. However, once the poison is completely removed, Jiang Tian will still have to get pregnant.
He needs to ensure that Jiang Tian has a child to rely on.
Yan Heng hadn't thought about the others yet, but if the women in the harem didn't have prominent status and didn't have princes, their lives would inevitably be very difficult.
He is strong and healthy, and Jiang Tian is only twenty years old. Once her health is restored, it won't be difficult for her to have a child.
At that moment, after hearing his words, Jiang Tian blinked and kissed him on the lips.
"If you warm me up, I won't feel cold anymore. Let's go out and see the snow."
Yan Heng held her hand, neither objecting nor agreeing. He simply ordered the palace servants to bring out the cloak he had specially prepared for Jiang Tian, put it on her, adjusted her collar, placed a hand warmer in her hand, and then took her other hand.
"Let's go."
After watching the snow for a while, Jiang Tian was in a good mood. She leaned on Yan Heng's shoulder and said gently, "Have you been having something on your mind lately?"
Yan Heng glanced at Jiang Tian, somewhat puzzled, and said, "I have nothing on my mind."
The people he hated are almost all dead, and many of his remaining followers have been arrested recently. Everything is under his control, so what could he possibly have on his mind?
“Oh…” Jiang Tian replied thoughtfully.
Yan Heng put his arm around her shoulder and looked at her: "What do you want to ask?"
Jiang Tian smiled slyly: "If you have nothing on your mind, then I'd like to make a request. I heard from A-Shu that there will be a lantern festival in the capital soon to celebrate the New Year. I'd like to go see it. Would you like to come with me?"
