"Where did that woman who was taken back by the Regent come from? Since she's not one of us now, why don't we make her one of us?"
The servant's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing the official's words.
Why didn't he think of this? He thought that as long as the money was right, even a living person could be turned into a dead person.
What's more, it's such a simple thing, so it's even easier.
"Your Majesty, I understand. I will find a suitable time to send someone to take care of things, so Your Majesty will not have to worry."
Qin Zheng nodded in satisfaction instantly; he liked people with brains.
The reason this servant has been able to stay by his side for so long is because he is sensible.
"Have your men keep a close eye on the Regent. Also, remember to have our men administer a large quantity of that medicine. We absolutely cannot allow the Regent to have an heir, understand?"
The servant nodded. "Your Majesty, rest assured! I know the seriousness of this matter. I have made arrangements. If those medicines are administered for a longer period of time, the Regent will never be able to have any children in his life."
He probably never imagined that the person he trusted most was actually one of ours.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You must remember that the reason that person is under our control is because of her son and her husband. So no matter what, she must be kept under my watch by her son and her husband."
Furthermore, until we have fully regained control of the Regent's power, we will still need that man's help; we must treat her mother and husband well.
The servant understood the reasoning behind this and immediately bowed his head in agreement.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! It's good to have a place to live now. There are people to take care of me. Apart from not having freedom, it's much better than being outside."
On the other side, Jiang Jingyue was carried by Zou Hanwu into his palace, and she was a little dazed.
When they arrived at the Prince's residence, Qin Hanwu still showed no intention of letting her go.
With no other option, Jiang Jingyue struggled to get up and asked him to put her down.
"Your Highness...Regent, could you please put me down? I'm feeling uncomfortable being held like this."
Qin Hanwu ignored the whimpering of the little woman in his arms. He reached out and took Jiang Jingyue's small hand in his own, playing with it and not wanting to let go.
He never imagined that a woman's hands could be so smooth and soft, making him almost unable to put them down.
Qin Hanwu played around, and he would occasionally squeeze Jiang Jingyue's hand.
Her skin was already more delicate than normal, and when he pinched it like that, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Ouch, Regent, please don't do this! My hand hurts from all this."
Taking advantage of the moment Qin Hanwu was stunned, Jiang Jingyue immediately withdrew her hand.
She couldn't help but look up and glare at Qin Hanwu.
Qin Hanwu noticed that the back of her hand had turned red and couldn't help but scold her in a low voice, "You're so delicate."
Jiang Jingyue didn't like hearing that. She suddenly pushed Qin Hanwu and jumped out of his arms.
Qin Hanwu felt a sudden emptiness in his arms, and then it was as if something had run past him.
By the time he realized what had happened, the little woman in his arms had disappeared.
Within this Regent's Palace, no one could escape without Qin Hanwu's permission.
So when he discovered that Jiang Jingyue had run outside, he wasn't worried.
He immediately turned to Zhang Desheng beside him and asked.
"Well, what are the results of the investigation I asked you to conduct? What kind of woman is she? Is she the Emperor's, the Empress Dowager's, or the Fourth Prince's?"
Zhang Desheng shook his head.
"Your Highness, no, according to my investigation, she does not belong to any of these groups. She is the daughter of a minor official named Jiang Jingyue."
Because the Emperor decreed that each household must send one woman for the Prince to choose from, it was originally supposed to be their eldest daughter, but because her stepmother couldn't bear to part with her, they sent Miss Jiang instead.
Hearing Zhang Desheng's explanation, Qin Hanwu nodded. "So, you mean she might become one of our people, or she might be bribed by someone from another side? Is that what you mean?"
Zhang Desheng nodded without hesitation.
"Your Highness, that's exactly what I mean. I'm just afraid that those people will come to bribe people again, and Miss Jiang has had a hard life since she was a child. She might not be able to resist such temptations."
Qin Hanwu couldn't help but frown. He had finally found someone fun to play with, but if he was bribed again, wouldn't he have to kill another person? What a hassle.
"Have someone keep an eye on her. If she's really been bribed, don't show any mercy."
Zhang Desheng hesitated, "But Your Highness, don't you like Miss Jiang very much? This is the first time I've seen you treat a woman like this. If she has really been bribed, should we really take action against her?"
When Qin Hanwu heard this, his face turned cold, and he gave Zhang Desheng a cold look.
"Who told you that I like her? I just think she's different from others. As for liking someone, I will never like anyone in my entire life."
Looking at his prince's confident demeanor, Zhang Desheng didn't know why, but he just felt a little unbelievable.
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. If these people want to take action, they should do so soon. I will keep a close eye on Miss Jiang's movements during this time."
"Your Highness, now that Miss Jiang has been brought back to the manor, shouldn't we prepare accommodations for her?"
Qin Hanwu was stunned for a moment before nodding at him.
"It would be fine to arrange for him to stay in Qin Yue Palace next door. That way, I can keep an eye on her at all times, and if she has any other thoughts, I can find out immediately."
For some reason, Zhang Desheng felt that his master's true intentions were not what they seemed.
However, he didn't say much and immediately nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will go find Miss Jiang now and arrange her accommodations."
At this moment, the wet nurse from the Prince's mansion also arrived. As soon as she arrived, she greeted Zhang Desheng with a smile.
"Your Highness, I heard you've found another princess! Does that mean you need to prepare for the wedding again?"
I heard that this princess was personally chosen by the prince; it seems he likes her very much!
