[Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Becoming a Popular Person after Divorce (36)]
Looking at Xu Wenjian's departing back, Yan Qingjiao pursed her lips into a line.
She really didn't expect Chen Yanshu to appear here.
She is not so narcissistic as to think that this man is following her.
It is very likely that Chen Yanshu came to Pingnan because he had not received any information from the spies hidden beside Han Sheng for many days and was afraid that there were loopholes in the plan, so he came to take a look in person.
By the way, you can also enjoy the benefits of being a person who cares about the people.
It is impossible to convict Governor Xie of colluding with bandits based on just a few confessions.
A cunning person like him would never show up in person to give others an opportunity to use force, so he could just push a few scapegoats to take the blame.
Even if he was sent to the capital for trial, with the help of the Xie family of Panyang, the charges against him could be easily cleared.
That's why he was not in a hurry when he was captured by Xu Wenxuan's men.
This undoubtedly runs counter to Chen Yanshu's purpose of striking down the arrogance of the aristocratic families.
Therefore, he would pin the murder of Han Sheng on Governor Xie.
Only with the death of his trusted and important ministers could he target the Xie family and suppress them.
Han Sheng went into the mountains to search for a hidden spring for the livelihood of the people in Pingnan. He has not returned yet. Not only does he have to face the beasts in the forest, he may also encounter two waves of assassinations.
After all, he was just a weak scholar who knew no martial arts. Worried that An Yi could not protect him, Yan Qing had to place his hopes on Xu Wenzhang.
It was almost evening and the clouds were setting in the west.
Yan Qing just came back from the pharmacy. In addition to developing the antidote, she has also been learning acupuncture from Doctor Hu.
She already had a basic knowledge of medicine, and with her amazing learning ability, and with the help of Doctor Hu, she made rapid progress.
Before entering her room, she straightened her clothes, and if she sniffed carefully, she could still smell the hallucinogenic drugs she sprayed on her body.
She pressed the coating on her tongue and the mint leaves in her mouth spread a cool feeling, so that she would not be disturbed by the medicine on her clothes.
There is no distinction between inner and outer rooms in the prefectural governor's mansion. Once the door is opened, the scene inside can be seen at a glance.
Not seeing the uninvited guest, her tense face relaxed. As soon as she closed the door, she heard a cold voice: "Are you looking for me, A-Qing?"
She sneered coldly: "I never thought that the emperor would also have the habit of being a thief."
Chen Yanshu approached her, his eyes narrowed gently: "For Ah Qing, let alone being a knight on the beam once, it would be worth it even if I were to be a knight on the beam ten times."
She turned and walked to the table, pouring two cups of tea: "You are a guest, I offer a cup to Your Majesty."
Chen Yanshu picked up the teacup but didn't drink it.
She raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty, are you afraid that I will poison you?"
"Aqing's tea tastes like honey even if it's filled with arsenic." The man raised his glass to her, his stern face gently smiling.
Yan Qing raised the corner of his mouth and also raised his hand holding the quilt: "Your Majesty."
But I didn't drink it.
Instead, he poured the tea on the ground in front of him.
Like paying tribute to the dead at a grave.
Of course there was no poison in the tea, she just wanted to disgust this person.
You are such an ungrateful person, why are you pretending to be such an affectionate little lamb?
Chen Yanshu paused as he put the tea to his lips, drank it all in one gulp, and put down the cup: "Ah Qing is so cute."
"There is something cuter. Your Majesty, would you like to try it?" Yan Qing touched the dagger that hung at his waist as an ordinary ornament.
She responded indifferently, "The demon thing was done by your majesty, right?"
Chen Yanshu did not avoid her question and laughed: "My Ah Qing is indeed very smart."
His burning gaze fell on her face, already treating her as his own.
"That girl is just an ordinary person. It's hard for Your Majesty to bother dealing with her." Yan Qing spoke in a roundabout way, his disgust and ridicule for him evident in his words.
The man didn't take it seriously. Seeing her angry, he was even more pleased: "I just want to show Ah Qing the disgusting faces of those lowly people."
Seeing him closing the distance again, Yan Qing had already drawn her dagger and glanced at him with a warning: "Your Majesty clearly wants me to be disappointed in them and give up on saving them."
"Why, Your Majesty, are you afraid that after my reputation rises, I will become as famous as my father and threaten your majesty?"
She showed a hint of hatred at the right time.
Rather than being suspected by this guy at the slightest sign of trouble, it would be better to follow his wishes and pretend to be a reborn person.
It would also pave the way for her to realize her plans in the future.
Chen Yanshu's pupils seemed to be shining brightly, and he wanted to hug her excitedly: "Aqing, you are back as expected."
The sharp blade in Yan Qing's hand stabbed forward without hesitation, but he caught it with his bare hands and flicked it between his fingers, causing the blade to clang.
The shocking pain from her wrist made her realize the power of internal strength.
After just a few moves, she was defeated and was embraced by the opponent.
"In my opinion, Your Majesty is the most disgusting." Yan Qing raised her knee and hit him in the lower body, but he hooked her knee.
Now this posture seems like she is offering herself to seduce.
Chen Yanshu lowered his head, closed his eyes and sniffed her neck: "My Ah Qing smells so good, I want to swallow her whole."
Yan Qing observed his expression carefully, but didn't see any change after he inhaled the fragrance of the medicine, and his heart began to beat fast.
She had tested this medicine on Doctor Hu beforehand, and the old man rolled his eyes and started grinning foolishly as soon as he took a sip.
It's the same as getting poisoned by mushrooms.
When it was applied to Chen Yanshu, it had no effect at all.
Could it be that he also has a physique that is immune to all poisons like Lian Qiao?
"Your Majesty, please let me, a married woman, go." She reminded.
Chen Yanshu sneered and hugged her tighter: "How can that waste be worthy of you."
"Ah Qing, you must remember that you are my queen." He looked at her affectionately, with a strong possessiveness written on his face, "You can only be mine."
Yan Qing raised her hand, and when the man let go of her knee to block her hand, she kicked him in the calf.
Taking the opportunity to dodge his touch, he quickly picked up the dagger on the ground and threw it at him, then moved away to a safe distance.
Facing his admiring yet aggressive gaze, Yan Qing threatened: "If I shout out loud, Your Majesty, what do you think outsiders will say?"
"They will think that their master is extremely promiscuous, coveting their minister's wife, and trying to harm the female Hua Tuo who just saved their lives."
Chen Yanshu's expression changed, and he curled his thin lips slightly: "I can't even love Ah Qing enough, how can I bear to hurt you."
At this time, Mo Sanniang's voice came from outside: "Sister Yan Qing, the left prime minister has been carried back!"
Catching the key words in her words, Yan Qing's eyes showed nervousness and concern: "I'll be there right away!"
She ignored the other person in the room and trotted over to the door.
When he was about to open the door, he turned around and glanced at the person behind him: "If your majesty doesn't want any bad rumors, it's better to hide from others."
She didn't want the good reputation she had just built to be tarnished by a single bad apple.
She walked out quickly without looking back and went straight to the front yard.
Chen Yanshu in the room put his hands behind his back, an unknown light flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled: "She is really a woman who should not be underestimated."
