After saying this, Qin Hanwu looked at Jiang Jingyue with a worried expression, feeling even more uneasy.
He didn't know what Jiang Jingyue was thinking. Back when he was alone, venturing into the enemy camp, he had never felt this uneasy.
Jiang Jingyue felt a little embarrassed by his constant staring, and just then, the system came out to join in the fun.
"Host, just say yes! Isn't this a piece of cake, no strategy needed?"
The system's words left Jiang Jingyue both amused and exasperated.
She felt that this kind of thing shouldn't be done so casually. What if the man thought she was casual too?
She still wanted to maintain a certain level of reserve. So Jiang Jingyue looked at Qin Hanwu with some hesitation.
Qin Hanwu noticed Jiang Jingyue's hesitation, and in that instant, his heart leaped into his throat.
"Xiao Jing, you don't need to rush to answer me about this. You can think about it for a while. I'm not in a hurry right now, so don't rush to tell me the answer. Think about it carefully."
After saying this, Qin Hanwu hurriedly stood up and walked outside.
He was moving so fast that by the time Jiang Jingyue was about to say something, he had already disappeared from sight.
Jiang Jingyue was both amused and exasperated by his hurried manner.
Because of Qin Hanwu's appearance, she was made to seem as terrifying as a flood or a ferocious beast.
What Jiang Jingyue didn't know was that Qin Hanwu was genuinely afraid of her. He was afraid that what Jiang Jingyue said wasn't what he wanted to hear.
That's why he suddenly fled before Jiang Jingyue could even speak. Wang Desheng, who was guarding outside, couldn't help but be puzzled as he watched his lord rush out in such a panicked manner.
He couldn't help but look at Qin Hanwu and ask, "Your Highness, what's wrong? What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Qin Hanwu certainly wouldn't tell anyone about his fear of being rejected, so when he heard Wang Desheng ask that question, he immediately shook his head.
"Nothing much. How's the matter I asked you to investigate? Who exactly is the mole within our palace?"
Wang Desheng felt helpless about this matter. He had been investigating for quite some time, but still hadn't found a single clue.
This person is really good at hiding his true intentions; for a moment, he was at a loss as to how to proceed.
The thought that so much time had passed and he still hadn't found anything made Wang Desheng feel a little guilty.
"Your Highness, this matter is my fault. I will continue to investigate. I have been investigating for some time now, investigating everything that should be investigated and everything that shouldn't be investigated, but there is no one who fits the description."
Seeing Wang Desheng's guilty face, Qin Hanwu's expression was also somewhat unpleasant, but he did not blame him, because he knew that Wang Desheng had already done his best.
"In that case, I will send you a few more people. You can investigate again carefully and keep a close eye on the people around us. If we still can't find out this time, we will reconsider our options."
Wang Desheng nodded; this was the only option left.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this servant will investigate immediately. As for Miss Jiang, is it possible that we don't need to send her away? Is she going to be our Princess Consort from now on?"
Wang Desheng smiled happily. He was happy for his prince. After so long, his prince finally had a warm-hearted person by his side.
He was no longer alone. Although he had always been by his master's side, he was ultimately just a servant and could not truly be there for his master in spirit.
If he had a princess, his prince would definitely be different. He hoped that this Miss Jiang would always be good to his prince and live a good life with him, so that he could rest assured.
Qin Hanwu probably never imagined that the people he trusted most were often the ones who betrayed him the most.
At this moment, the pharmacy in the Prince's mansion was empty, but the medicine pots inside were still boiling.
The wooden door creaked open from the outside, and a person walked in, furtively sprinkling something into the medicine pot.
The whole process was quick. After sprinkling, the woman took something and stirred it to dissolve all the white powder on the surface into the medicine.
After doing all this, the woman carefully inspected the medicine pot again to make sure no one would discover it before she left with peace of mind.
If someone were here at this moment, they would definitely recognize that the person in front of them is the wet nurse from the Prince's mansion.
These medicines were prescribed by a renowned physician whom Qin Hanwu had specifically sought out. He had always been in poor health, and it was only through martial arts training that his frail body improved somewhat.
That's why he kept looking for skilled imperial physicians outside, hoping they could help him recuperate.
Those medicines were for conditioning the body.
This medicine was the one that Emperor Qin Hanwu had to drink every day. A special person was responsible for decocting the medicine every day, and Emperor Qin Hanwu just had to wait until the designated time to drink it.
Unfortunately, he doesn't know yet that someone is deliberately adding something to the medicine he drinks every day.
When the apprentice returned to the pharmacy, he looked at the medicine in front of him and, for some reason, felt that something was strange about it.
However, after taking another careful look, he couldn't see anything wrong, and he figured he might be overthinking it.
Meanwhile, Qin Zheng, inside the palace, looked at the people kneeling below with a joyful expression.
"Are you sure that the woman next to Qin Hanwu agreed to what you said, and that she didn't ask any further questions?"
The kneeling man immediately nodded. "Your Majesty, although she agreed, she asked for a bit too much money. Your Majesty, do you think this is acceptable? If so, this servant will have someone send her the money she wants."
As long as it helps him, isn't it just a little more silver? As an emperor, he has nothing but silver.
"That's not a problem. Give her as much as she wants. The only thing I hope is that the information she brings is useful."
The servant immediately kowtowed several times to Qin Hanwu before speaking.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, she is someone close to Your Majesty, so she must know things that others do not. When the time comes, bringing down the Regent will be a simple matter."
The Emperor can easily regain control of the military.
Qin Zheng was very pleased to hear this from his servant, so when he heard it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
