Quick Wear: The Crazy Boss Only Loves the Cold Host

Jiang Qing subconsciously looked at the open palace door, stood up and walked towards the inner hall.

The man in black followed behind him with barely audible footsteps.

"Princess!"

As soon as he entered the inner hall, the man in black quickly lowered his body and knelt on one knee to salute.

"Get up."

The man in black pretended not to hear and continued kneeling on the ground stubbornly.

"Princess! Please take back the Jiang Kingdom for the sake of the deceased Emperor Jiang Ling! Restore the glory of the Jiang Kingdom!"

The man's name was Meng Kuo, and he was one of the secret guards left by Emperor Jiang Ling for the royal bloodline. Now most of the Jiang family members were killed on the day of the siege of the palace, and Jiang Qing was the only one who remained in the palace and was not killed.

"Why are you here?"

"It is a capital crime to enter the harem without permission, even if you are my secret guard."

Meng Kuo's body froze for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Lord Lin Shaolin, who asked me to come and invite the princess."

Lin Shao, a first-rank minister of the Central Secretariat, was a staunch royalist. Rather than the foreign-surname Wang Chu clan that had seized power, he hoped that the bloodline of the Jiang family, which supported the unification of the country, would regain power.

He was a huge help in preventing Jiang Qing from being exiled.

"Now you are the only one who has the true orthodoxy, Princess."

Jiang Qing closed his eyes and said, "I didn't know that Lord Lin can now order you around, Meng Kuo."

"Master Lin wants me to do something?"

"Princess, you only need to use the treasure land to temporarily restrain the regent. Now the regent is supporting his young son to take the throne, and the foundation is unstable. Once the regent is eliminated, there will be a chance to revive the Jiang Kingdom!"

Jiang Qing sneered, "Treasure place? You know that the Regent King only wanted me to leave with my father from the beginning to the end, he doesn't care about the treasure place." She paused, "How easy is it to get rid of the Regent King? Let Lin Shao come up with a detailed plan, otherwise there is no need to talk."

There was a gleam in Meng Kuo's eyes. The princess now had a chance to agree!

He buried his body lower and said in a low voice, "I obey your command!"

The next second, Meng Kuo flashed and disappeared into the night outside the window.

Jiang Qing was staring at the window, not knowing what she was thinking. A palace servant knocked on the door and wanted to come in to light the lamp for her, but she stopped him.

She sat gracefully in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the delicate and innocent face in it.

She looked like the enchanting beauties who brought disaster to the country in ancient literature, but her eyes were extremely clear.

No wonder she became Emperor Jiang Ling's favorite daughter. This face as white as mutton fat is simply a perfect work of art created by God.

In the original world line, Jiang Qing agreed to the plan of Lin Shao and others in order to take revenge on Chu Yan.

But because he has no strategy, he can only be led by Lin Shao. Who would not covet such a treasure trove that is rich enough to rival a country?

Even though Lin Shao was a royalist, he was not immune to vulgarity. He sought cooperation with Jiang Qing not just for the so-called imperial legitimacy, but also wanted to get a share of those gold and silver treasures.

Now Jiang Qing is trapped in the palace and can't go anywhere. The maids who were once trusted by her have been sent to the palace to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and the servants in the palace are all from Chu Yan's side.

It is almost impossible to take a single step in the palace. How can she break the impasse?

Lin Shao’s plan was actually very simple, which was to let Jiang Qing find a way to make Chu Yan interested in her.

Since ancient times, the beauty trap has always been a strategy with only benefits and no harm. The worst that could happen is that the beauty will die as a result, and then another plan can be made later.

But now Jiang Qing has huge wealth, and for a while he has the capital to restrain Lin Shao, Chu Yan and others.

Jiang Qing closed his eyes and recalled Chu Yan's face. Those cold and emotionless peach blossom eyes overlapped with someone in his memory at a certain moment.

"...Ah Yan?"

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Qing's incomparably beautiful face.

-

In the imperial study of the huge palace, Chu Yan listened to the intelligence coming from the shadows below.

"Princess Changning met with her secret guards."

"The two of them are discussing a plot against the prince...the matter of the prince has not yet been concluded."

Chu Yan waved his hand dejectedly and asked people to leave.

Are some people finally unable to hold back and take action?

He had said long ago that these people should be eradicated.

Just like his so-called father Chu Weifeng, if he is not eradicated completely, he will become a scourge.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan's mouth curled up, and there was full of sarcasm on his cold face.

Leaving trouble behind will kill you.

The next morning, Chu Yan received a message saying that Princess Changning wanted to see the Regent regarding the treasure location.

It was not until noon that Chu Yan stepped into Jiang Qing's palace.

Jiang Qing had prepared tea and snacks for him early. Although having tea and snacks was a luxury now because of his low status, as soon as the regent was mentioned, the palace servants carefully prepared the snacks that Chu Yan often ate and served them up.

This posture is as excessive as that of an emperor.

"Please take a seat, Lord Regent."

Seeing Chu Yan coming in, Jiang Qing did not stand up. He just sat there leisurely waiting for people to take a seat.

"Princess Changning has gone to such great lengths to invite me here. Is this how you invite me?"

Chu Yan stood at the door motionless, as if he would not come in at all unless Jiang Qing humbled himself and stood up to invite him today.

The hall suddenly became quiet. Jiang Qing sat on the couch, his seductive eyes facing Chu Yan silently.

There was no warmth on Chu Yan's face. After waiting for a while and seeing that Jiang Qing did not move, he turned around and wanted to leave without saying a word.

Jiang Qing also suddenly stood up at this time, chased after him for two steps and grabbed Chu Yan's wide robe, causing Chu Yan to stop suddenly.

"Please take a seat, Lord Regent."

Jiang Qing loosened his hand, bowed slightly and saluted. It didn't seem very sincere, but because of good etiquette it seemed sincere.

If it weren't for the treasure that those ministers kept talking about, he would definitely leave without mercy, Chu Yan thought.

He let out a deep breath calmly, then turned around and sat down in front of the couch again.

Jiang Qing slowly sat down opposite him and gently pushed the snacks on the table.

"I heard that these are the Regent's favorite foods, and he specially ordered them to be prepared."

Unexpectedly, Chu Yan frowned slightly after hearing this, "Now Princess Changning can order the palace maids around at will."

Jiang Qing was not annoyed, and smiled, "It's thanks to the Regent." She paused, "I invited the Regent here because I want to discuss cooperation with you."

"Chips."

"I know that the Regent is picky and doesn't like the treasure land, but all the ministers like it, don't they? Isn't this a bargaining chip that shows sincerity?"

Jiang Qing's face revealed his true nature just right, with the innocence that is typical for his age, and it seemed as if he already knew how to control Chu Yan.

The whole person looks determined to win.

Chu Yan rarely responded and did not even touch the snacks in front of him.

His cold eyes fell on Jiang Qing.

Being stared at like that, Jiang Qing looked back at him, with an expression that seemed impeccable.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yan's bony hands finally reached for the cup of tea that had already gone cold on the table, and he picked it up and took a sip.

The cold and bitter tea enters your mouth, flows through your internal organs, and makes you feel sober.

Jiang Qing smiled sincerely this time, looking extremely gentle and charming.

"I cooperate with the Regent with all my heart."

She no longer referred to herself as "this palace", but instead referred to herself as "I".

Jiang Qing straightened his expression, and the natural aura that he had cultivated since childhood inadvertently revealed itself again.

"Regent, I know you have eyes all over the palace. I'm sure you know that there are forces in the court who are secretly planning to revive the Jiang Dynasty."

"But I have no interest in reviving the Jiang Kingdom."

Jiang Qing imitated the lazy expression that Chu Yan had seen before and turned to look at the snacks in front of him.

"Now I am living in the palace relying on the treasure left by my father. It is really meaningless." She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Yan again. "As long as I die, no one in the Jiang family will be the so-called 'orthodox emperor', and your regime and country will be increasingly consolidated after my death."

"If Princess Changning wants to die, I can satisfy you now."

"Of course I'm not really dead. If you let me go out of the palace, I'll give you the treasure."

"I will never set foot in the Imperial City again in my life."
