Quick Wear: The Crazy Boss Only Loves the Cold Host
Chapter 39: Paranoid and Cold-Hearted Regent x Puppet Princess of the Former Dynasty 13
Recovery from injuries is always slower in the severe winter. Although Chu Yan took medicine on time, he still had a chronic illness due to the spread of the previous toxin.
Jiang Qing waited and waited in the wind and snow, only to wait until the Spring Festival of the first year of the new emperor arrived.
After Chu Yan took control of the imperial power, he opened up the national treasury to provide disaster relief to the people. He also secretly collected evidence and dealt with a group of officials who had followed Emperor Jiang Ling in his incompetence and accepted bribes.
Therefore, this Spring Festival is the happiest one for the people in the past few decades.
Jiang Qing was a little dazed when he saw their satisfied faces while standing on the palace tower.
Maybe Chu Yan really doesn't owe the Jiang family anything.
Chu Yan climbed up the stairs and put a thick mink coat on her.
Now outsiders are saying that the Regent and the princess of the previous dynasty have shaken hands and made peace, and the situation is no longer tense.
Everyone says that he is a heartless regent, but they also have to admit that he is indeed a good prince who loves his people and works hard.
The regent was merciful and left the remnants for the sake of the country.
No matter how Jiang Qing maintained her princess's pride in the palace, in the eyes of ordinary people, she was the daughter of Emperor Jiang Ling, the princess of the fallen Jiang Kingdom, and should suffer the same karmic consequences as Emperor Jiang Ling.
It seems that as time passed, the State of Jiang was buried in the dust and disappeared into the vast river of history.
During this period of time, Chu Yan appeared beside her from time to time, showing a familiar yet unfamiliar and intimate attitude.
Jiang Qing didn't know why he did this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He was Ayan, and she seldom rejected him.
It's just that in order to maintain her personality, she has to ridicule him, but that's not her intention. It's rare for the two of them to treat each other peacefully now.
"What is the princess looking at?"
"Look at the Regent's kingdom."
Chu Yan lowered his eyes, his emotions undetectable.
Every time at this time, Chu Yan could clearly feel that there seemed to be thousands of mountains and rivers between them.
"After the Spring Festival, when the flowers bloom, Princess Changning can leave."
Jiang Qing turned around and glanced at him, feeling that he was not happy at the moment, but the words remained on her lips and she said nothing in the end.
The Spring Festival in the palace is inseparable from customs such as bestowing blessings, dusting, installing lanterns, sealing treasures, sealing pens, hanging door gods, pasting couplets, placing door screens, and welcoming spring posters. Chu Yan, apart from eating dumplings on New Year's Eve and watching the fireworks that had been arranged earlier, began to deal with memorials.
After the Lantern Festival, Jiang Qing and Chu Yan secretly left the palace with their confidants and went to the location where the treasure was hidden.
The address left by Emperor Jiang Ling is outside Shanhaiguan and close to Jiangnan.
This is the first time Chu Yan has come here out of the imperial city. He doesn’t know how long the substitute he left in the palace can last.
After traveling through mountains and rivers and with Xiaoqi's guidance, we finally arrived at the treasure place.
It is a high mountain with a huge hole covered by lush greenery, and there is an entrance that is only wide enough for one person to enter.
Jiang Qing stood outside the mountain, feeling the abundant spiritual energy. He calmed down and did not show a desire to absorb it, and left the task of exploring the way to Du Shan.
"It is indeed a treasure trove. The spiritual energy here is really abundant."
Among the six thousand small worlds, some have thin spiritual energy, while others have abundant spiritual energy. In the end, they may evolve into a world of cultivation.
Chu Yan, dressed in black, stood on the ground and looked around, as if he was trying to remember his location.
After a while, Du Shan jumped out of the cave and said, "Regent, there are countless gold and silver in there!"
Jiang Qing could see that Du Shan's eyes were brighter, and he was obviously very excited to see such wealth for the first time.
She used her luck to sense the spiritual energy, and when she found that it was almost absorbed, she stood up and said, "Now that the things I need to support myself have been given to me, I hope the Regent will fulfill his promise."
Chu Yan looked at her without saying anything, just nodded slightly.
The palace cannot be without a master for a day, so Chu Yan immediately returned to the city after confirming that the treasure trove did exist.
He hurried down to the vicinity of Jiangnan and then rushed back to the palace.
In the second year of Qi Zheng, the first month of the year came.
News came from the palace that the former Princess Changning asked to see the Regent on the palace tower in the name of a treasure trove. The Regent arrived as promised but had a knife put to his neck, and his life or death was unknown.
Chu Yan specially invited Lin Shao and the two prime ministers to witness it.
He had left three ministers in the imperial study to discuss matters, and they happened to go there together at that time.
The early spring wind was chilly, and Jiang Qing's hair was a little messy due to her large movements.
When Jiang Qing held Chu Yan hostage, Lin Shao's eyes widened. Wasn't she carrying out her plan steadily? Why did she suddenly go crazy and want to kill Chu Yan? !
"Today, either I die, or the Regent pays for the life of my father!"
"Princess Changning, calm down!"
Chu Yan was skilled in martial arts, but no one else knew it. When he became the regent, he was usually surrounded by strict guards, as if he was extremely afraid of being ambushed and killed.
And that night attack also made others more certain that Chu Yan had no martial arts skills, otherwise how could he have been stabbed and poisoned?
Therefore, when he did not react after being held hostage by Jiang Qing, everyone thought it was normal and were worried that he would die at the hands of Jiang Qing in the next second.
"Prepare a fast horse for me."
The dagger against Chu Yan's neck pierced into his skin and caused blood to seep out.
Jiang Qing's eyes were red with excitement at this moment, and a few tears seeped out of her beautiful eyes.
Before this, Chun Lan had been arranged by Jiang Qing to let Meng Kuo take her out of the palace. Now the atmosphere on the city wall was tense. Jiang Qing was not as tall as Chu Yan. Chu Yan's throat was locked and he leaned back, feeling very awkward.
The Left Prime Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead, ordered his men to prepare fast horses, and wanted to negotiate terms with Jiang Qing.
"Princess Changning, if you want to leave the palace... you can discuss it with the Regent... put down the knife first..."
Chu Yan seemed to feel some pain from the stab, and tried to touch Jiang Qing's wrist with his cold fingertips, but was stopped by Jiang Qing in a low voice, "Regent, I really want to kill you now, don't mess around."
Hearing this, a trace of pain flashed across Chu Yan's eyes, and he slowly put his hand down.
Being killed by Jiang Qing might be considered a worthy death.
Jiang Qing pulled Chu Yan and walked down the city wall with her step by step. She glanced at the fast horses that had stopped at the palace gate and the wide-open palace gate. Lin Shao, who was following behind her, kept winking at her, as if he wanted her to calm down.
Her mission was to find an opportunity to get close to Chu Yan and assassinate him.
Her cooperation with Chu Yan was to obtain evidence that Lin Shao's royalist faction was trying to revive the Jiang Kingdom and to remove his influence in the palace.
Lin Shao didn't know that some of the harmless words he had left before were given to Chu Yan by her.
And Chu Yan wouldn't know...
The next second, the knife against his throat went straight down and pierced into Chu Yan's body.
Tears fell from the corners of Jiang Qing's eyes, flowed across her chin and into her collar.
Everyone was furious when they saw this.
"Chu Yan, this time, you don't owe me your life."
Jiang Qing whispered these last words in his ear.
Chu Yan finally moved. Regardless of the injuries on his body, he snatched the knife from Jiang Qing's hand. His peach blossom eyes, which had always been cold, rarely revealed anger.
"Since Princess Changning wants to die so much, I will grant your wish."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Jiang Qing's body, then held the back of her neck with his hand. With his back to the crowd, he slashed at her with a knife, and blood splattered on the spot.
Blood splattered on his chin, and also soaked his black and dark gold robe.
Jiang Qing's body gradually softened in his arms.
Everything happened so fast that no one could react.
"Dushan."
"exist."
"The remnant of the previous dynasty...Princess Changning attempted to assassinate me, but I killed her on the spot."
“The bodies were thrown into mass graves.”
"Subordinates take orders!"
Lin Shao stood there and took two breaths of cold air. He didn't see how Chu Yan did it, but the blood all over the ground and his body could not be faked.
He felt his legs going weak and he couldn't help wanting to hold onto the person next to him, but his reach was empty and he staggered and leaned against the city wall.
The only remaining royal bloodline of the Jiang family died.
How can we talk about revival? How can we talk about reviving the Jiang Kingdom!
His hands were shaking and he felt a slight pain in his heart.
Jiang Qing, what are you thinking about!
Didn’t they clearly shake hands and make peace?
It was the Right Prime Minister who reacted first, and asked in a trembling voice: "Princess Changning's treasure hiding place is still unknown... Prince Regent..."
Chu Yan acted as if he didn't hear it and handed Jiang Qing's limp body to Du Shan. Du Shan seemed unable to bear to look at it, so he turned his eyes away and took the body away.
He turned around, with a lot of blood on his body, looking like the devil crawling out of hell.
There was a chill in her peach blossom eyes, and the look she gave Lin Shao was as if chilled by ice.
With just one glance, Lin Shao knew that Chu Yan knew what he was doing!
He was so frightened that he nearly fell to his knees, but the prime ministers on his left and right were there, so he held on to the city wall and did not fall down.
"I have already sent people to look for the treasure."
"You should all know what to say at the court tomorrow morning, right?"
Only after everyone agreed tremblingly did Chu Yan wave his hand to allow them to leave.
The civil servants had hardly ever seen such a bloody scene and they all fled in a hurry.
It was not until everyone had left the city wall that Chu Yan reached out to touch the wound Jiang Qing had given him. Jiang Qing was unsure of the location and did not dare to use force, but in order to make it more realistic he let the knife penetrate most of the way into the flesh. Fortunately, it avoided his internal organs, so he was able to still stand.
The spring breeze brought a slight dampness, and the smell of blood became even stronger, but Chu Yan smiled.
This is the wound Jiang Qing left him.
He reached out and pressed the wound, blood gushed out and wet his fingertips. He couldn't help but raise his hand and tasted some with the tip of his tongue.
It's not as sweet as the blood in Jiang Qing's mouth that day, he thought.
