Chapter 183 Could it be that the Regent is incompetent?!
Cang Zhihe chuckled dryly, "Hehe, the Regent really knows how to joke."
"You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, how could you dislike rich people?"
Zhai Rongyu did not want to talk to her any longer, and waved his hand, saying, "Miss Cang, you should hand over the treasure map as soon as possible. I don't have that much patience."
She deliberately put on a cold face.
[Hehe~]
[I can easily capture that grumpy face essence!]
Cang Zhihe and her maid exchanged a knowing glance. The maid stepped forward to pour wine for the two of them, but kept glancing at Zhai Rongyu out of the corner of her eye. Cang Zhihe deliberately kept talking to Zhai Rongyu.
“Zhihe knows that the Regent already has someone else in his heart.” She said in a dejected tone.
Zhai Rongyu did indeed glance at her.
Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, the maid swiftly added some powder to the cup, then placed the cup in front of the two of them and gave Cang Zhihe an affirmative look.
Cang Zhihe's gaze fell on the wine.
The powder added by the maid is called Dragon and Snake Powder, which is non-toxic, colorless, and odorless.
But it is the thing that can best arouse a man's bloodlust.
Just to be on the safe side, she and her maid agreed to add powder to both cups of wine.
If discovered, he could at least escape punishment.
Moreover, the reason she was so bold was because this powder had little effect on women.
But if a man drinks it, he will be unable to suppress the impulse in his body. If she then entices him a little, she doesn't believe that the regent will be able to resist!
Cang Zhihe picked up her wine glass, lowered her eyes to hide the fleeting glint of shrewdness in them, and when she looked up again, her face was full of tenderness and affection.
She said softly, "Zhihe has no other desires, and she doesn't even dare to hope to be your woman, Regent. She only asks to stay by your side and serve you! Even if she is just a maid, as long as she can see you every day, that's enough..."
"We hope the Regent will grant our request..."
Zhai Rongyu frowned and said, "Miss Cang, why do you do this? My manor has no shortage of servants."
Seeing that she refused, Cang Zhihe seemed very hurt.
She forced back the tears welling in her eyes, her voice growing weaker, "Since the Regent insists on not having Zhihe, then let's have one last drink together."
Zhai Rongyu raised her wine glass, but her lips stopped abruptly just before touching it, giving Cang Zhihe a half-smile.
Wow, just how many strange and wonderful medicines does this Cang Zhihe have?
First came the aphrodisiac incense, then the Dragon and Snake Powder—why are they all drugs for dealing with men?
If she hadn't said she was the city lord's daughter, I would have really suspected she'd infiltrated some brothel...
Zhai Rongyu sighed.
She chose her own path. Since she's giving up a wonderful life and insisting on wading into such muddy waters, not even a god could persuade her otherwise.
I thought my passionate heart would never be broken.
She still managed to outmaneuver him.
I even tried to advise her, but it turns out she has much bigger ambitions!
Oh well, never mind.
Everyone has their own karma, so I'd better not meddle.
Seeing that she hadn't drunk any wine for a long time, Cang Zhihe felt uneasy and nervously gripped the wine glass: "The Regent wouldn't refuse to drink even this last cup of wine, would he?"
"Do you really hate Zhihe that much?" she asked, her voice filled with sorrow.
Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow and drank the wine in her cup in one gulp.
"Can we look at the treasure map now?"
Cang Zhihe was overjoyed to see that she had drunk the wine.
She lowered her head and began to undress.
Zhai Rongyu's eyes widened, and she suddenly stood up. "What is Miss Cang doing?!"
Cang Zhihe looked up at the flustered and imposing figure before her and smiled gently.
"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but my father was afraid that the treasure map would be stolen, so he asked a sorcerer to use a secret method to tattoo it on Zhihe's back. Your Majesty will know it at a glance."
She turned around, took off her clothes, raised her hand and pressed the acupoints on her wrist to activate the Gu worms.
Sure enough, a treasure map gradually emerged on that smooth, bare back.
Zhai Rongyu opened her third eye and imprinted the image into her sea of consciousness.
[Luckily, I arrived; I was able to memorize this map at a glance.]
If Ah Xu were here, I wonder how long he would stare at her bare back...
[Ugh~ Just thinking about it makes me sick~]
Cang Zhihe glanced at Zhai Rongyu and, seeing that she had indeed looked at her, shyly put her clothes back on.
"Your Highness, Zhihe has already given everything she has..."
"Now that you've seen my body, I, Zhihe, will only ever recognize you in this lifetime..."
She walked toward Zhai Rongyu, her clothes disheveled, her eyes brimming with desire.
Cang Zhihe deliberately slowed her pace and swayed her body gracefully.
He drank the Dragon and Snake Powder and saw his bare back; he believed that soon his blood would boil and he would pounce on him!
Zhai Rong was speechless.
【Wow, is this some kind of shameless trick?】
When Liu Taiqing was being intimate with you, you didn't demand that he take responsibility, did you?
So, you're the one who gets this sucker randomly assigned.
“Miss Cang’s words are interesting. I’m looking at a treasure map, not some woman.”
Zhai Rongyu turned around and stood further away from her.
"Furthermore, if you have to take responsibility after just one glance, then I will make the decision today and betroth you to Liu Taiqing. After all, you two have already done more intimate things."
Cang Zhihe paused, her body swaying precariously.
"Is the Regent really so heartless as to push Zhihe to someone else?"
She gritted her teeth and harbored resentment.
Why hasn't the medicine taken effect yet?
Could it be that the regent is incompetent?!
She looked Zhai Rongyu up and down with a suspicious gaze.
Seeing that the soft approach wasn't working, Cang Zhihe decided to take a hard line. "Zhihe has to remind the Regent that the treasure map is on me. I will never allow anyone to make a copy. If you want to find the treasure, you must keep me by your side."
"Only by taking me with you can you find the mineral vein."
Zhai Rongyu turned around and sneered, "You've been planning this from the very beginning, haven't you?"
No wonder it was explicitly stated that Ah Xu should be the only one looking at the pictures.
They really went to great lengths.
Cang Zhihe twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, biting her lip as she looked at Zhai Rongyu, "Zhihe did all this just to stay by your side..."
Such a heroic and extraordinary man, from now on, every time he looks at a treasure map, he will also look at his bare back.
She refused to believe that he could hold back every single time!
Zhai Rongyu was really losing patience.
If Ah Xu really falls for a woman like that, then she is also insulting her taste in men.
My playful mood from just now has completely vanished.
Having obtained the treasure maps, she coldly uttered "Whatever" and hurriedly left.
"Regent!" Cang Zhihe took two steps after him, leaned against the pavilion, and stared at Zhai Rongyu's back with a dazed look. Her fingers gripped the gauze curtain next to the stone pillar tightly, and her lower lip was almost bitten until it bled.
A man who can even resist Dragon Snake Powder...
There are only two possibilities: either he's incapable, or he's a real man!
Cang Zhihe preferred to believe the latter.
A maidservant stepped forward and helped her put on a cloak: "Miss..."
Cang Zhihe was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said to the maid, "Did you hear that? He just said he'd follow me, which means he agrees to keep me by his side!"
