Chapter 187 Oh, I guess I've come at an inopportune time.
A figure opened the door, and Cang Zhihe stood outside holding a food box.
"Your Majesty, you must be exhausted from handling state affairs all night. Zhihe specially prepared ginseng soup for you. Please drink it to nourish your body."
She glanced at Jun Ce with a slightly shy expression.
The maid said that the candles in the Regent's room hadn't gone out all night.
He saw himself once and couldn't sleep all night...
But she still stubbornly pushed him away.
Men, indeed, are the most prone to saying one thing and meaning another...
Cang Zhihe smiled and looked at Jun Ce again, only to see him staring at a round ball in his hand, not giving her a second glance. Her smile froze on her face.
The figure reached out to take it, saying, "Give it to me."
Cang Zhihe stepped aside and gave him a disdainful look. "This is ginseng soup that I made myself. You're just a servant, clumsy and rough. Don't spill it."
He shrugged alone.
Cang Zhihe pushed past him, walked up to Jun Ce, and placed the ginseng soup on the table.
"Your Highness, please have a taste."
Jun Ce picked up a handkerchief from the table and carefully wiped the dust off the Dragon Roar Stone. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "Just leave it there."
Cang Zhihe looked at the ball in his hand and secretly rolled her eyes.
What's the point of cleaning a broken glass bead?
From the moment she entered, the Regent had been staring at the bead in his hand.
He didn't even glance at me.
She composed herself, reached out and opened the lid, gently stirred the soup with a white porcelain spoon, then scooped a spoonful of ginseng soup and scraped it against the side of the cup. "Regent, let Zhihe feed you..."
His tone was indescribably gentle and considerate.
Jun Ce's icy gaze swept across her face, his silent expression carrying an irresistible pressure. His aura seemed to scare people away, and Cang Zhihe felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her hand trembled, and the spoon fell back into the bowl.
"Zhihe is right here... Please remember to drink it..."
She awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Jun Ce had already looked away, as if the chilling killing intent she had just felt was all her imagination.
While Cang Zhihe was startled, her gaze towards him became even more infatuated.
He didn't say a word, yet he could instill such fear in her; no wonder he's the man she's set her sights on...
"Is there anything else?" Jun Ce moved to the side impatiently.
The spot where Cang Zhihe was standing blocked some of the sunlight.
He raised the beads in his hand and examined them closely.
There are no flaws left.
The dappled sunlight shone on it, and as the fingers turned it, it reflected a mesmerizing shimmering light.
Cang Zhihe opened her mouth, but seeing his unapproachable demeanor, she felt uneasy.
Last night, he confided in me and said many comforting words. His expression wasn't as cold as it is now. At least he would get angry or panic. Why is he acting like a completely different person today?
Could it be a case of feigning indifference to lure the prey into a trap?
Cang Zhihe said softly, "Zhihe came today to ask the Regent a question: Does what you said to Zhihe last night still stand?"
Since he agreed to keep me by his side, I should give him a proper title.
That's why she came to ask today.
Jun Ce raised an eyebrow.
last night?
What did Rong'er say to her?
Jun Ce glanced at her, and Cang Zhihe bit her lower lip shyly.
Up close, the Regent looks even more handsome...
Just one glance is enough to make one's heart flutter...
As Zhai Rongyu arrived at the door, she happened to see Cang Zhihe and Jun Ce looking at each other and talking. Cang Zhihe blushed.
She raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, I've come at an inopportune time."
"Rong'er!" Jun Ce put away the beads and stood up with some surprise. "You've come."
Zhai Rongyu glanced at his tightly clenched palm.
[Something is hidden there, all mysterious.]
Jun Ce subtly tucked the ball into his sleeve.
When Zhai Rongyu saw his movement, her brow twitched slightly, and then she glanced at Cang Zhihe.
[Hmph, could it be something related to her?]
Jun Ce's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
Zhai Lin's younger sister, Rong Yu, felt a little jealous: "If I had known she was coming, I wouldn't have come."
Jun Ce stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve.
Why are you becoming more and more temperamental?
It sounded like a complaint, but the corners of his mouth were clearly curving into a smile that he could barely contain.
Zhai Rongyu made a face, "It's all because you spoiled him."
Her almond-shaped eyes blinked.
Jun Ce couldn't resist reaching out to pinch the soft flesh on her face.
Zhai Rongyu glared at him and slapped his hand away.
Cang Zhihe stood there, her nails digging into her palms, her resentful gaze fixed on Zhai Rongyu, as if she wanted to bore a hole through her.
seductive thing...
The regent, who had been so cold just moments before, completely changed his demeanor upon seeing this woman!
She must have used some kind of sorcery to bewitch him...
No! She had to find a way to make the Regent only have eyes for her!
Cang Zhihe's gaze fell on her wrist, where something slowly rolled through the pale blue veins.
It's a worm.
That's right! Gu worms!
If one could plant a love potion in the Regent...
A dark light flickered in her eyes.
Zhai Rong tossed the item in her hand to Zhiying, who caught it from a distance. She opened her palm and saw a key lying quietly inside. "Second Miss Zhai, what is this?"
The lone figure seemed somewhat confused.
“This is the kitchen key,” Zhai Rongyu winked at him. “My dear Shuang’er was worried that someone hadn’t eaten, so she cooked some dishes in the capital and asked me to bring them to you to set a table.”
Shuang'er threw a tantrum for a long time because I didn't bring her out.
Only then did she agree to go back and let them know she was safe.
Who would have thought that this little girl not only had her in her heart, but also had someone else on her mind!
The figure's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?!"
“How could it be fake?” Zhai Rongyu nodded toward the door. “If we don’t go now, the food will get cold.”
Zhiying glanced at Jun Ce, and seeing him nod, she hurriedly ran towards the door. Just as she stepped out the threshold, she suddenly stopped and turned back to Zhai Rongyu with a roguish air, saying, "Thank you, future princess."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Cang Zhihe, snorted through his nose, and then continued to slip towards the kitchen.
Cang Zhihe's face turned dark.
This ignorant servant...
Once she becomes the mistress of the Regent's Palace, she will definitely teach him a lesson!
Zhai Rongyu looked at his retreating figure speechlessly, then tilted her head at Jun Ce and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
A faint smile crept into Jun Ce's eyes. "Perhaps it's a pollen allergy."
【hay fever?】
Zhai Rongyu was completely baffled.
Where did these flowers come from in the dead of winter?
Seeing that the two were still staring at each other, Cang Zhihe turned around and walked over, deliberately saying in front of Zhai Rongyu, "The Regent has not yet answered Zhihe. Last night you promised to keep Zhihe by your side. Do you keep your word?"
Jun Ce looked at Zhai Rongyu with some surprise, "I agreed?"
His deep voice carried a hint of displeasure.
Zhai Rongyu felt guilty and her eyes darted around nervously.
Seeing Zhai Rongyu's unpleasant expression, Cang Zhihe felt a surge of pleasure and added, "Not only that, you also looked at Zhihe's body."
Jun Ce's expression froze instantly.
"I also looked at you?" he said through gritted teeth, his gaze fixed on Zhai Rongyu's face.
