Quick Wear: The Crazy Boss Only Loves the Cold Host

Chapter 36: Paranoid and Cold-Hearted Regent x Puppet Princess of the Former Dynasty 10

After Jiang Qing woke up, he took the opportunity when Chu Yan was out to return to his tent.

Chunlan carefully took care of the scar on her neck by applying medicine every day.

Jiang Qing rarely left the tent for the next few days. She didn't want to see anyone. Every time she saw someone, she would talk non-stop.

Somewhat tired.

After that, Chu Yan returned to his usual icy self, and Jiang Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to see Chu Yan's eyes. She couldn't describe the emotion, but her strong feeling was that she didn't want to see it.

On the day she returned to the palace, she avoided Chu Yan and went to find the little carrot-head Chu Ziang to discuss the carriage matter with him.

Several carriages came to the palace and several left. Jiang Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly with his hand on his forehead due to such an arrangement.

But when he saw Jiang Qing's smile, he ran to Chu Yan and refused without any concealment.

Jiang Qing didn't understand. Did she have to have a stern face for Chu Ziang to think that she, Jiang Qing, was a good person?

"Sister Changning, you should ride in the same car with the emperor's uncle."

"You'll be safer with the Emperor's uncle!"

Little Radish Head Chu Ziang returned to Jiang Qing from Chu Yan's side, left this sentence and left in a calm manner.

So Jiang Qing could only get on Chu Yan's carriage silently.

There was a faint floral scent lingering in Chu Yan's carriage. It smelled very nice and soothing to the body and mind, making one feel sleepy involuntarily.

But Jiang Qing couldn't quite remember what flower the scent came from.

Until Chu Yan gave her a cold look, with a hint of unnoticeable expectation in his eyes, and asked her: "Does Princess Changning like the incense in the carriage?"

"The Regent has good taste."

I didn't say I don't like it, that means I like it.

Chu Yan lowered her eyes, "Princess, don't you want to know what kind of fragrance this is?"

Jiang Qing didn't say anything else. She felt that every word Chu Yan said was full of traps.

"It is not easy to obtain the fragrance of Epiphyllum, and it is also difficult to keep the fragrance. Whether it is made into a sachet or incense, it is a test of skill..."

"Since the Regent failed to capture the man in black this time, does that mean he failed to find any evidence against him?"

Chu Yan was stunned. It was obvious that Jiang Qing interrupted him because he didn't want to continue those topics.

"The silver arrow left behind is also a clue. I...I have sent people to investigate."

Jiang Qing nodded, his tone somewhat cold, "Thank you for your hard work, Regent."

She closed her eyes, looking like she didn't want to talk anymore.

Chu Yan’s eyes darkened and became gloomy.

The hands placed in the sleeves clenched and unclenched intermittently.

He missed the sometimes coquettish Jiang Qing before the hunt.

Suddenly, he gave a self-deprecating smile.

How despicable, Chu Yan.

The night Jiang Qing returned to the palace, Meng Kuo bowed and walked into the hall, saying that he would accept the punishment himself.

It turned out that Lin Shao had already made a plan. He was worried that the actions of the men in black would be disrupted by Meng Kuo, so he devised a plan to tie down Meng Kuo and prevent him from going to the hunting site.

Jiang Qing sat on the couch and recalled the crisis of the day, "Get up, I don't blame you."

"Since you are now on guard against Lord Lin, remember not to be disturbed next time."

"Meng Kuo obeys your order."

Jiang Qing had actually wanted to explore the truth of the so-called treasure trove, but the murderous intent that Lin Shao showed when he tried to test Chu Yan forced her to stop.

The deal between them has not yet ended, Chu Yan cannot die now.

I didn't expect that Lin Shao would be able to hit the jackpot unexpectedly. Now Chu Yan is indeed... somewhat concerned about her.

She remembered the message Meng Kuo had just sent her, asking her to find a way to further contact Chu Yan.

Lin Shao was taking it for granted. In order to revive the Kingdom of Jiang, what did it mean to let a princess seduce a man?

So he asked Meng Kuo to convey a message to Lin Shao in a vicious manner.

Two days after the hunt, the first snow of winter came.

He just slept on the bed for one night, and when he woke up, the whole palace was covered with silver snow.

Jiang Qing couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the snow. In the city of the previous world, only a thin layer of snow would fall during the cold winter. If one wanted to see snow, it was definitely not as good as here. One could jump into the snow as soon as he went out.

But just when she wanted to ask Chunlan to help her build a snowman, she heard Xiaoqi telling her that the Regent's Qianlong Palace was attacked by an assassin last night.

The news was well blocked by Du Shan and others, and only people around Chu Yan knew about it.

Jiang Qing thought for a while and then took Chun Lan to Chu Yan's palace.

In fact, she probably wouldn't be able to see Chu Yan if she went there, but she still couldn't help but want to ask about his injuries.

Fortunately, when they arrived at Qianlong Palace, Empress Dowager Shu had just arrived and had just gotten off the sedan chair. She successfully brushed Empress Dowager Shu's face and entered the palace.

This was her first time entering Qianlong Palace. The fragrance of Epiphyllum that filled the room was particularly rare in winter.

"How is the Regent injured?"

"Replying to the Queen Mother, the Regent was attacked at night and injured by an assassin. The sword was poisoned... Today... he still insisted on attending court, but the poison has not been eliminated and is now spreading..."

Empress Dowager Shu was not the type of person to vent her anger on her servants, but her body softened a little at the words of the imperial physician, and she was supported by the maid beside her.

Everything she and Chu Ziang have now was obtained thanks to Chu Yan. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Chu Yan fell.

"Call all the doctors that the Regent trusts to come and detoxify him! And remember to block the news!"

Jiang Qing watched silently from the side. Du Shan noticed her at this time and said, "Meet Princess Changning."

As a confidant, Du Shan naturally knew that Jiang Qing was special to Chu Yan, but others didn't know. Someone asked, "Why did this princess from the previous dynasty come in?"

The sound was not loud, but it just fell into Jiang Qing's ears.

Jiang Qing showed no emotion on her face, "I...of course I came to see if the Regent is dead."

Everyone's faces changed again and again. Jiang Qing said such treasonous words so easily. Is he really not afraid of being beheaded?

But Du Shan didn't look angry, but his expression turned ugly.

Jiang Qing seemed not to notice the changes in everyone. He lowered his eyes and continued, "Why? Isn't the Regent the legitimate heir of the Emperor Wudao? How could he die so easily? It must be that good people have good luck."

No one in the main hall answered.

The timid servants and palace maids had already fallen to their knees with weak knees, fearing that someone would take their anger out on them.

"Princess Changning..."

Queen Mother Shu straightened her body. She knew that the relationship between Jiang Qing and Chu Yan was complicated. Jiang Qing usually talked and laughed with her just because he was targeting someone other than her.

"Changning is worried and confused, please return to the palace first."

Empress Dowager Shu did not expect Jiang Qing to be sarcastic and mocking at this moment when she brought her in, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"How can I be willing to return to the palace if I am not sure whether the Regent is dead or not?"

"Empress Dowager Shu, I'm sorry that Changning cannot obey your order."

Just as Empress Dowager Shu was about to ask someone to take Jiang Qing away, a man walked out from the inner hall. His face was as pale as paper. It was Chu Yan.

"I didn't realize that Princess Changning cared so much about me."

Jiang Qing finally raised his eyes and looked at the person who came.

Now she and Chu Yan are in a complicated relationship, and no one dares to touch her, but they will not let her go in to see her beyond the rules. Xiao Qi said that Chu Yan was not unconscious, so naturally they have to find a way to force Chu Yan to come out to see her.

Chu Yan was weak due to his injuries and seemed even colder than usual.

He walked up to Jiang Qing and, ignoring everyone's gazes, lifted her chin so that he could only look at her.

My fingertips are cold, like the snow falling outside the temple.

For a moment, except for Empress Dowager Shu, everyone lay on the ground and dared not look around.

Can they object to what the Regent wants to do?

"If Princess Changning wants my life so badly, then take it."

After he finished speaking, he took out a short knife with intricate patterns carved on the handle from his wide sleeves.

The short knife with a blood groove on it was shining coldly and looked extremely sharp.

I don’t know how many lives it has taken, but as soon as it’s unsheathed, it’s as if I can smell blood.

Chu Yan grabbed Jiang Qing's hand, put the dagger into her hand to help her hold it tightly, with the blade pointing at his heart.

"Jiang Qing, I will give you my life as compensation."
