Murong Jin and Yu Jing'er looked over and saw An Kesen looking travel-worn.
An Kesen's gaze fell on the woman on Murong Jin's lap, his eyes concealing a storm.
"Oh? What brings Commander An to the Regent's Palace? Is there something you need to discuss with me?"
Murong Jin wore a smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.
Yu Jing'er also had a gentle smile on her face, hooking her arm around Murong Jin's neck, her face almost touching his.
"Your Highness, who is this person?"
Murong Jin looked down at her, his eyes filled with emotion, appearing deeply affectionate. "Commander of the Imperial Guard, An Kesen, I will gradually introduce you to the officials of the capital later."
Okay~~
Ankesen was stung by this scene. "Yu Jing'er."
Murong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Commander An knows my people?"
"Girl, come here, tell me, what's your relationship?"
Yu Jing'er shook her head, pretending to think, "I've only met Commander An once, and we have no relationship."
Murong Jin's eyes sharpened. "Is that so? That's good."
An Kesen, however, understood the meaning in Murong Jin's eyes. If Yu Jing'er was related to him, then he might do something...
"Your Majesty, these are the latest findings of the investigation."
Murong Jin: "Yes, thank you for your trouble, Commander An."
She doesn't fight for her future or the country, but that's not necessarily true for women.
Besides, this is a transaction.
Her deal with Yu Jing'er.
...
A few days ago.
"Murong Jin, you play along with my act, and I'll teach you how to cure the poison."
"At worst, I can simply not spread the word that you are a woman."
Murong Jin's face remained expressionless. "Miss Yu, what makes you think I would be threatened by you?"
"I can go with the flow, and I can also go against the flow."
Yu Jing'er knew Murong Jin's strength; otherwise, she wouldn't have become the regent of Da Cheng, a figure feared by other countries.
In a book, this person would be the chosen one, a being who can turn the world upside down.
"Since that's the case, then I'll cling to you from now on... Anyway, to outsiders, you're a man, and I, a woman, can't cause any trouble. But you're different; you're the Regent, supreme and unparalleled. I can only frame you..."
Murong Jin's eyelids twitched, not because she was afraid of the threat, but because she was curious about the girl's deal.
Acting? What kind of acting?
"I don't care about your thoughts, but if it's beneficial to me, I can help."
"That might not do you any good. I just want you to play my man. We're mutually attracted, or maybe you're interested in me and want to take me as your future concubine or something. Anyway, it's just acting, a romantic relationship involving intimate acts..."
Intimate relationships.
Murong Jin had an idea in mind, "If I were to act with you and you were in danger, would you rather I act with you?"
Yu Jing'er's face showed an expectant expression, "Yes, I'm not afraid of danger."
"What if the Emperor of Da Cheng targets you?"
Yu Jing'er: "He can target me, but he can't kill me."
Yu Jing'er is the eldest daughter of Yumen Manor, a sect in the martial arts world. Yumen is skilled in puppetry and poison techniques, and is a sect that is both righteous and evil.
"The world is vast and full of wonders. The imperial court emphasizes practical life, but there are many strange and wicked things in the martial arts world. I believe the Regent should understand this."
What Yu Jing'er couldn't understand was why His Majesty of Da Cheng was targeting her when she was merely trying to put on an act with Murong Jin.
"Can."
Then I heard this sentence.
Yu Jing'er's eyes widened. "You agreed?"
You just agreed like that?
The initial conditions weren't good, but unexpectedly, after she said that the Emperor of Da Cheng couldn't kill her, Murong Jin actually agreed.
Why?
Curiosity piqued, "Jin Jin, tell me, why..."
As a result, Yu Jing'er stopped asking questions immediately after just one glance.
She was afraid that Murong Jin might change his mind.
...
That's how we ended up in this situation today.
To Murong Jin's surprise, the audience for Yu Jing'er's performance was actually An Kesen.
Judging from Ankesen's expression and actions just now, it's clear that the two have known each other for a long time.
Okay.
She is very magnanimous.
I wouldn't mind helping Yu Jing'er act out a good scene to provoke An Kesen.
After embracing her, he said, "Commander An, let me introduce you to Yu Jing'er. In a while, I will bring her into my palace."
An Kesen's expression was somewhat distorted, which Murong Jin found quite amusing.
"Is the Regent preparing to take a concubine?"
Murong Jin gave a puzzled "Oh," and said, "Why do you say that? Although I will have a Regent's Consort in the future, there are two concubine positions. Although Jing'er is not from an official family, she can still take the concubine position if I like her."
The status of a regent's concubine is quite different from that of a mistress.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jing'er asked, "Does Your Highness intend for Jing'er to become a concubine?"
"It makes me quite happy."
Murong Jin hooked her chin, "Don't worry, now that I've taken you, I'll take responsibility for you."
An Kesen trembled when he heard the words "I want you".
them……
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the entangled man and woman; the jarring scene made him feel very uncomfortable.
Yu Jing'er's eyes narrowed. She hadn't expected that Murong Jin could act so well, even more so than she could.
Her gaze fell on Murong Jin's face. She liked this captivating face; after all, who wouldn't like something beautiful?
Unfortunately, Murong Jin is a woman; otherwise, she would have already taken him in. Even if it was just sleeping with him, she would have found it worthwhile.
"Oh? Then congratulations, Regent."
After the conversation ended, Murong Jin and An Kesen went to the study. An Kesen was worried about the presence of outsiders, but Murong Jin pulled him into her arms and said, "We're all family here, Commander An, please speak."
For the first time, An Kesen felt that Murong Jin's current appearance made him even more unhappy than before.
"yes."
"According to the latest news, the mysterious organization has sent people to the Western Regions this time. I have already sent someone to infiltrate them, and there may be news in a while. And what they have found this time is the wizards of the Western Regions."
"This wizard wants the Evil Eye of Jinling Kingdom so he can return and make the Western Regions even more dazzling. It is said that the Western Regions are currently being harassed by neighboring countries and bandits, and the people are suffering terribly..."
"As for the latest news, I don't know if it's true or not. I've only heard that a surviving wizard from the legendary Jinling Kingdom, which is said to have disappeared, has also come to Dacheng..."
"And this wizard's name is Jin Wanyue."
P.S.: I'm planning to come up with a new title for this book. If you guys have any suggestions, please help me think of one (●.●) (The more titles the better, I'll choose from them (???ω???))
