Quick Wear: The Crazy Boss Only Loves the Cold Host

Chu Ziang also looked to Chu Yan for help, but Chu Yan had no intention of helping him at all.

"I will definitely work hard for the country."

Chu Ziang's mind was in a mess at this time. Facing the eyes of Chu Rong, who had killed countless people, all the techniques of being an emperor and employing people were thrown out of his mind.

Seeing this, Chu Rong just smiled slightly, bowed and returned to his seat.

He had no intention of embarrassing Chu Ziang, he just wanted to use this as an excuse to target Chu Yan.

Who knew that Chu Yan would not accept the challenge.

At the banquet, several lieutenant generals led by Chu Rong got drunk and clamored for a duel. For a moment, the performance stage turned into a ring.

A soldier with a large area of ​​hideous scars on the back of his hands strode to the center and asked loudly, "It is said that the Regent is a great swordsman and has killed dozens of people. I am also used to using swords when fighting against foreign enemies on the border."

"I wonder if I would have the honor to compete with the Regent?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Although Chu Yangui is the regent and has great power, he must not attack or offend the soldiers who have just returned triumphantly.

Chu Yan's originally distracted thoughts were pulled back to reality, and his black eyes were full of indifference as he glanced at the lieutenant general.

He just smiled coldly, holding the wine cup with his slender knuckles. Everyone then realized that the dreaded regent actually looked a little thin.

"Thank you for your kindness, General. However, I have been feeling unwell these days and cannot use force."

"The Regent is not feeling well yet he drinks so much?"

Military generals are not as good at observing people's words and expressions as civil officials, and they just blurt out whatever comes to mind.

"The princess and the king both fell ill, and they just drank to drown their sorrows."

The two refusals were the greatest face given to the lieutenant general. Before the lieutenant general could say something else, he was dragged to the competition by his brothers.

Chu Rong finally looked Chu Yan up and down, hiding his face with the help of drinking, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After three rounds of drinking, most of the soldiers were drunk. Chu Yan finished the pot of wine in front of him and got up to leave.

Du Shan followed him towards Qianlong Palace.

Looking at Chu Yan's cold back, he didn't dare to get close.

According to the imperial physician's instructions, Chu Yan was not allowed to drink alcohol. In fact, Du Shan also tried to stop him tonight, but Chu Yan still insisted on drinking.

It's hard not to feel depressed if you don't drink.

Du Shan said he didn't quite understand. When the Regent rescued Princess Changning before, he saw her lying weakly on the bed, and she didn't look like this.

It seems more like...

After returning to the palace, Chu Yan waved his hand to let everyone leave, and walked into the room where Jiang Qing was resting with light steps.

Jiang Qing was awake and saw Chu Yan walking towards her step by step, with his hands gently around her neck.

Chu Yan liked the feeling of being able to control Jiang Qing.

"Changning, why did you drug me?"

The bowl of medicine he drank today flashed before his eyes. Chu Yan didn’t know how Jiang Qing mixed other things into the medicine, but she did it.

In fact, Chu Yan didn't want to doubt Jiang Qing, but apart from her, no one else would have the opportunity to quietly turn the medicine into a poison that would harm his body.

"sorry."

Jiang Qing admitted it, but Chu Yan's expression turned dangerous.

"I promised Chu Rong..."

"There won't be a next time."

She didn't even offer an explanation, just dry apologies and assurances.

Jiang Qing thought of several reasons, but she couldn't tell the real reason, so she could only do it like today.

Chu Yan's pupils trembled slightly, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with pain. After a long time, he smiled bitterly, loosened the hand that was holding Jiang Qing's neck, took Jiang Qing into his arms, and rested his chin on her long hair.

He wanted to hate her, like he used to, but he couldn't.

Just like Jiang Qing couldn't explain it to him.

He just sighed deeply.

Jiang Qing grabbed his collar, "Chu Yan."

"I have to do it."

Time went back to the past, and Chu Yan remembered that someone had once said this to him, saying that she must do this.

Jiang Qing nestled in Chu Yan's arms and listened to his heartbeat. Perhaps because of his emotional fluctuations, his heartbeat was very fast. Also, because he had vomited blood several times today, there was a faint smell of blood and medicine on his body.

Chu Yan lowered his head to smell the light scent of Epiphyllum on Jiang Qing's body, like a trapped beast seeking its own comfort.

Du Shan was standing outside the door, worried about what was happening inside.

Others may not know, but he knows the Regent's unusual attitude towards Princess Changning.

Du Shan couldn't tell what that attitude was. At first he felt that Chu Yan disliked Jiang Qing, and even hated her a little, but now it has evolved into a kind of almost twisted love.

He had seen Chu Yan's brutality, and he was worried that something might happen to the delicate Princess Changning.

Fortunately, the night was peaceful and nothing happened.

The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense, and Chu Rong was secretly making arrangements to fight for the throne.

In fact, sometimes Chu Rong found it ridiculous to think that he was competing with Chu Ziang for the throne. Only someone like Chu Yan would not be tempted by the throne and even find an unrelated person to push him to the throne.

Chu Weifeng had been conspiring with him for many years, so he naturally understood that his father had long coveted the throne.

In the few days since he returned, he received news that many officials came to meet him and discuss matters, all wanting to find out his interest in the throne, including former subordinates of his father Chu Weifeng.

The fight for imperial power has always been about either intrigue or stepping on other people's flesh and blood. After Chu Weifeng lost power, most of his followers were eliminated by Chu Yan. Those who remain in the court now all have resentment towards Chu Yan.

"General Chu, the world should have belonged to the King of Chu and you. The regent king set up a scheme behind the scenes to have the King of Chu... humiliated. It really makes people angry."

"Master Wu, I know what you mean."

"Now I still have some troops stationed outside Jincheng. Once we are ready, this country will change hands."

Chu Rong wiped the sword in his hand. This was the sword that accompanied him into battle and killed the enemy.

Several officials sitting around him nodded in unison. They were all officials who supported Chu Weifeng's usurpation of the throne.

"Now I am afraid...that person from Zhaixing Pavilion..."

The Minister of Works stroked his silver beard and said hesitantly.

"Yes, it is said that Ouyang Yu and Chu Yan have a close relationship. If he calculates the natural anomaly, our plan may be affected."

"Not necessarily. The Star Picking Pavilion has never cared about the change of imperial power. As long as they are not touched, they will not take the initiative to interfere."

Chu Rong sat in the main seat and listened. He had only seen Ouyang Yu every time he went out for a sacrifice. That old man was indeed an invisible bomb.

"It doesn't matter. I just came back from the border this time, so I have a good reputation and I can talk to him about it."

Chu Rong thought of using the murderous spirit as an excuse to meet the mysterious Ouyang Yu, but he didn't expect that when he went to Zhaixing Pavilion to ask for a meeting, Ouyang Yu refused to see him.

His disciple came out of the attic and told him, "The Pavilion Master of Zhaixing Pavilion has no intention of getting involved in disputes, so please don't disturb him from his retreat."

As Chu Rong gathered forces day by day, Chu Yan seemed completely unaware of the situation, went to court on time, reviewed memorials, and personally taught Chu Ziang how to handle state affairs, as if the threat from Chu Rong did not exist at all.

The night is slightly cooler.

Chu Yan ordered people to light incense for Jiang Qing. After Jiang Qing fell asleep, he stayed in the yard to drink tea.

After the doctor cured Jiang Qing, he was ordered by Chu Yan to be dealt with. He didn't expect that Chu Yan would realize his and Jiang Qing's plan so quickly, and Jiang Qing had no intention of protecting him at all.

He was entrusted by Chu Rong with the important task of continuing to give medicine to Chu Yan, so Chu Yan's illness had not been cured until he discovered Jiang Qing's action and Chu Yan changed the prescription.

Originally, Jiang Qing was an excellent chess piece, but the condition that Chu Rong reached with her was that he restore her body to its original state. One thing about the general was that he was too upright and confident.

The result of him obeying others' orders was that he lost his life.

Du Shan appeared behind Chu Yan without knowing when, and bowed, "Regent, things are going to change."

Chu Yan poured the tea in his hand onto the ground and stood up coldly, saying in a playful tone: "Let me see how far General Chu can go for Chu Weifeng."
