The regent's stern expression finally softened a bit: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, Miss Ye also said that this sachet best suits the regent's temperament. Prince Mo was self-indulgent and blocked the entrance to the mountain. In order to get rid of him, Miss Ye had no choice but to let her subordinates cooperate in the acting." Ajiu said, handing over the sachet respectfully.
He originally wanted to return it to Miss Ye, but when he saw the murderous look in the Regent's eyes, he had no choice but to give in.
At worst, he can go buy another one tomorrow to compensate Miss Ye.
Cang Boyi looked at the sachet, his cold expression warmed up a bit, and he reached out to take it: "She has a conscience."
Ajiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then told what happened today.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, the Regent knew it all, because he also sent several secret guards to protect Ye Xingchen secretly.
"Back off." Cang Boyi snorted coldly.
"Yes." Ajiu hurried out. Fortunately, he was smart today, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
Cang Boyi looked at the sachet in his hand. His angular facial features softened a little and his fingers rubbed it gently.
Both the fabric and the embroidery were very ordinary, and could not be compared with the craftsmanship of Shanggong Bureau, but it was the best gift he had ever received.
She gave herself a sachet, which meant she was thinking of herself.
Cang Boyi raised the corner of his mouth high, then hung the sachet around his waist and turned to go to Ye Xingchen's yard.
Ye Xingchen in the room was staring at the jar of peach blossom wine in a daze. When he heard the Regent's voice, he immediately let him in.
"I heard that someone deliberately made trouble today?" Cang Boyi asked with concern.
Although he knew that Ye Xingchen was not bullied, Cang Boyi still asked worriedly.
"Someone was looking for trouble on purpose, but I have already taught him a lesson. I am not a soft persimmon, so how could I let others bully me?" Ye Xingchen replied.
Cang Boyi looked at her bold and unrestrained appearance and admired her very much.
"That's good. If someone bullies you, just fight back. Even if the sky falls, I will support you." Cang Boyi said lovingly.
Ye Xingchen was very touched: "Thank you, Regent."
"No need to thank me." Cang Boyi said, deliberately shaking his sleeves to reveal the sachet around his waist.
Ye Xingchen didn't notice it, but kept staring at the wine jar.
There was a hint of disappointment in Cang Boyi's eyes, but his face remained calm. He noticed the black wine jar on the table: "What is this?"
"Ajiu and I bought peach blossom wine at the foot of the mountain. I heard that it was made from peach blossoms that bloom in spring. I wanted to try it, but I was afraid that drinking too much would ruin things.
But now that you are here, it will be easier. With you here, I don't have to worry and I can drink as much as I want." Ye Xingchen answered truthfully.
When Cang Boyi heard this, a smile flashed across his eyes: "Don't worry and drink, I will protect you."
Cang Boyi was very satisfied that she trusted him so much.
"Okay." Ye Xingchen opened the jar of wine.
A strong aroma of wine mixed with a faint scent of peach blossoms wafted into the air. Ye Xingchen picked up the jar of wine, tilted his head back and took a big sip.
"The wine is rich and mellow, with a hint of peach sweetness on the palate. It's really good."
After Ye Xingchen finished praising, he realized that the Regent was looking at him with a gloomy look. Ye Xingchen smiled awkwardly.
"Regent, you can't drink. I brewed a few more pots of medicinal wine, just for you." Ye Xingchen stood up and walked to the cabinet next to him and took out three wine pots.
She put this in there when she first settled in. She was afraid that others would become suspicious, so she put it in there in advance.
Cang Boyi's eyes lit up with joy: "Thank you."
"There's no need to be polite between us. Come, cheers." Ye Xingchen raised the jar of wine.
Cang Boyi took a wine jug and opened it. The two of them clinked glasses. Just as Cang Boyi was about to drink, he suddenly heard a shrill sound.
"Oh, help me, someone is trying to eat me, Master, help me!"
Cang Boyi was startled when he heard that the sound came from the wine jug, and instinctively threw the jug away.
Ye Xingchen was also stunned. She watched the wine jug fall to the ground, the medicinal wine spilling out, and then a white thing crawled out of the wine jug.
"Oh, I'm about to fall to death. Who is so blind that he wants to eat me?" The little ginseng howled.
Cang Boyi's face turned cold, and he subconsciously protected Ye Xingchen: "Who are you, and why are you in the wine pot?"
He clenched his fists at his sides, ready to strike at any time.
Little Ginseng finally saw everything clearly. When he saw Ye Xingchen, he looked aggrieved: "Master, save me, I'm going to be eaten."
As it spoke, it staggered towards Ye Xingchen. Cang Boyi frowned: "Master?"
Ye Xingchen smiled awkwardly: "I am indeed its owner. A long time ago, I saved a ginseng and planted it in the soil. Later, I didn't expect it to become a spirit."
Cang Boyi then put away his fist: "Has it become a spirit?"
This was the first time he had heard of such a miraculous thing.
"That's right. I'm a rare ginseng spirit that only appears once in a century. The medicinal wine made by the master is so delicious that I fell asleep while soaking in it, and then I was thrown down by someone. I don't know which bastard dared to throw me down?" The little ginseng complained aggrievedly.
Cang Boyi only heard the first half of the sentence: "You said, this medicinal wine is for you to take a bath?"
"Of course."
Ye Xingchen looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Regent, I didn't know it was in the medicinal wine."
"From the tone of your voice, you seem to despise me. After all, I am a hundred-year-old ginseng spirit. The medicinal wine I brew can strengthen the body and prolong life. Even if a dying person drinks a few sips, he can live a few more years." The little ginseng said unconvinced.
"That's true. Ginseng wine can make people stronger as they get older." Ye Xingchen agreed.
Cang Boyi's face darkened: "Do you dislike me, Old Wang?"
Ye Xingchen quickly shook his head: "Of course not, I was talking about the truth, I didn't say that you are old, Regent. By the way, how old are you this year, Regent?"
Three black lines appeared on Cang Boyi's forehead. Was he digging a hole for himself? He would not have said that if he had known this.
Looking at Ye Xingchen's expectant eyes, Cang Boyi hesitated and replied: "I am twenty-four."
He is the King of Hell of Cangyue Country. He is cruel and brutal, and does not recognize his relatives. He is also poisoned, so no woman is willing to marry him.
Or it could be said that the Regent was not interested in women at all. The Emperor and the Queen Mother had sent beauties to him before, but he rejected those who didn't and killed those who did. From then on, his reputation for bloodthirstiness and cruelty shocked the entire Cangyue Kingdom, and no woman dared to approach him anymore.
Ye Xingchen, would you think you are too big?
Cang Boyi's hands in his sleeves clenched into fists inexplicably. He wanted to know the answer, but was afraid to know the answer.
It seems like I have never been so nervous.
Ye Xingchen looked at Cang Boyi: "Twenty-three is just right. In our place, it's just the legal age to get married."
Cang Boyi raised his eyebrows: "Where are you?"
