Chapter 487
Especially now that he knows Jiang Yanche's true identity.
Prince Nanyue?
A man dressed as a woman!
Oh!
Nan Yue is quite bold.
The regent had no sympathy whatsoever for those who were both men dressed as women. On the contrary, a man with impure intentions suddenly appeared in the palace and tried to seduce his young emperor... How could he not deserve to die?
However, it seems that His Majesty does not want to kill him yet.
The regent could only suppress the murderous intent boiling within him.
He would never boss her around.
Wen Xin met the prince's doting gaze and felt a warm glow inside. She took his hand and asked sweetly, "Will Your Highness help me find a way to torment someone? Even without a reason?"
The regent nodded without hesitation.
Wen Xin's face immediately lit up with a smile, "Your Highness is so kind."
She turned her head, her gaze sweeping lightly over the lakeside. Jiang Yanche had already been dragged away by the Moon Shadow Guards.
It's dragging on like a dead dog.
Alas, it's a pity there were no cameras in ancient times, otherwise we could have taken a picture and let that lousy male protagonist properly admire his "heroic figure".
At that time, Jiang Yanche will definitely hate her even more.
She loved the way he hated her so much he was grinding his teeth, yet he couldn't get rid of her.
Like fragments of a soul from a past life.
What is Your Majesty thinking?
The Regent's deep, gentle voice reached her ears, and Wen Xin's eyelashes trembled slightly as she held and played with his hand.
His fingers were distinct and white, with light-colored nails, giving him a cold and indifferent look. Although they were hands that were meant for playing the zither and writing, there were calluses on his thumbs and fingertips, indicating that he had practiced swordsmanship quite often.
Indeed, after all, he was not only the regent, but also a general who fought on the battlefield and intimidated the nations of the Tianhuang Continent, and the most powerful guardian of Feng Yuan and her.
She smiled softly, "Your Highness, killing him directly would be too easy on him, and it wouldn't be fun either."
The regent was not frightened by his little empress's cruel words, and instead indulgently let her play with his hands.
But when that soft little hand brushed across his palm, it was like a feather lightly brushing against his heart... It was absolutely maddening.
The regent could only suppress his fantasies; when would his emperor grow up?
"Your Majesty may play however you wish, but Your Majesty must promise me that you will not get close to Jiang Yanche, lest he offend you."
This Third Princess of Nan Yue probably knows some low-down tricks, but he's not afraid of her. However, when it comes to the safety of the young empress, no amount of precaution is too much.
Wen Xin blinked. It seemed that His Highness had almost uncovered all of Jiang Yanche's secrets.
As expected of her Highness.
That's just so great!
Sigh, if it weren't for the soul fragments that dragged him down in his past life, Jiang Yanche would have been killed hundreds of times by the Regent.
Now, without the female lead, the male lead is like a cockroach with a broken leg—not easy to kill, but also unable to jump around anymore.
It's okay, take your time playing around until the hatred in the fragments of the soul dissipates.
...
The following day, Wen Xin came to the lakeside pavilion to admire the lotus flowers and listen to music as usual.
However, the palace maid serving Jiang Yanche reported that the Third Princess of Nanyue had developed a fever in the middle of the night because her ten fingers were so badly injured yesterday and she could not find a royal physician to treat her. She is still bedridden and cannot get up. Please forgive her, Your Majesty.
What's the meaning?
Does this imply that she deliberately tormented Jiang Yanche?
Hehe, I really did it on purpose.
But...
The young empress slammed her hand on the table, feigning anger, and said, "How dare you!"
"Oh dear, Your Majesty, you are angry. You can punish those fools however you like, but please don't harm your own health."
The palace servants knelt on the ground. Granny Wan hurriedly went to check the little empress's hands, fearing that Her Majesty might hurt her precious little paws, and then His Highness the Regent would cut off their heads.
Wen Xin, who had just managed to muster a bit of tyrannical authority, instantly deflated, waving her hand with a wry smile, "Get up, I'm not angry with you."
"Granny, my hand is fine."
She was just imitating the emperor's display of power in TV dramas, and she was careful with the force when filming. How could she have actually injured her hand? She's not a stupid deer.
"It's good that you're alright. Your Majesty frightened us servants."
Granny Wan and the palace servants all breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Xin: "..."
Isn't that a bit much?
She's not made of ceramic; she won't break if you tap her.
Moreover, your behavior makes it impossible for me to feel majestic and powerful!
Granny Wan gave a wink to the palace servants of Chaohuang Palace.
The palace servant immediately understood and stepped forward to slap the palace maid who was serving Jiang Yanche across the face.
"You audacious lowly servant, how dare you spout nonsense before His Majesty!"
"His Majesty only asked the Third Princess to play the zither yesterday, how did she injure her finger? Is it because you servants didn't take good care of the Third Princess?"
"The Third Princess is a distinguished guest from Nan Yue, so why wasn't there a royal physician to treat her? It must be because you were too lazy to invite one."
The palace maid was so frightened that she kept kowtowing and saying she was innocent, but she kept speaking up for Jiang Yanche. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a servant that Jiang Yanche had brought from Nanyue.
But she was clearly a palace maid in the Fengyuan Imperial Palace, receiving a salary from Empress Wen Xin.
Wen Xin's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. She had just gotten rid of a palace maid by Jiang Yanche's side last time and sent a new one over, but he had already won her over.
