The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

Yun Nian naturally heard the sound of someone approaching, but he didn't expect it to be the Regent Prince who was rumored to be seriously injured and unconscious.

She put down the bracelet in surprise, and then said,

"Your Highness, it turns out you are fine. I thought..."

She covered her mouth and looked around carefully. Wei Qingjue had his back to the door, so people outside could not see him.

Xiyu was taken into the inner room again and has not come out yet. Only a few silent servants are left, looking at each other with their eyes and noses.

"Your Highness, are you here alone?"

Seeing Yun Nian's extremely nervous expression, his originally porcelain-white face flushed with anxiety. He smiled softly.

"Don't worry, everyone here is my man. If your secret guard wants to come out, someone will warn him."

Yun Nian noticed that he seemed to put extra emphasis on the words "your secret guard".

That's right. After all, Feiyu Tower where Xiyu was located was directly involved in the assassination of the Regent. It was inevitable that Wei Qingjue would be unhappy.

She scratched her head in embarrassment, clasped her hands in front of her and shook them up and down.

"I'm sorry, I, I didn't know he was from Feiyu Tower. If I knew, I definitely wouldn't go with him."

"So, why didn't you let me save you then?"

Wei Qingjue frowned slightly. He didn't have to separate from Yun Nian, especially since she was infected with the "Love" Gu. What would he do if he met someone who was pregnant with the mother Gu?

He couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent.

If he saw Yun Nian, who liked him, looking at someone else with those deer-like eyes full of love, he would definitely let that person know what a cold-faced Yama is.

This is not a good place to talk after all. Yun Nian thought for a moment and spoke to the servant beside him.

"Is there a private room here? If anyone inside asks, just say I'm a little tired."

The servant bowed hastily, not daring to look at the man next to him, and responded in a low voice, guiding the two of them over.

The private rooms on the second floor are usually used by distinguished guests to rest. They are quiet and secluded. The night has just arrived, and the oil lamps are swaying slowly.

Yun Nian sat down on the chair and pulled her sleeves up a little, revealing the brighter and more colorful crabapple blossoms. They were originally just buds, but now they were in full bloom.

"You actually lied to me. You know this isn't the residue of some drug, but a poison that can change people's minds."

She spoke softly, and Wei Qingjue's pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't care about anything else and grabbed her arm.

Even under the light, the contrast between their skin colors was too stark. The Regent pinched her slender wrist with an inexplicable blushing and heart-pounding meaning.

Unfortunately, Yun Nian did not sense such emotions, and Wei Qingjue did not think about anything extra. He just asked irritably,

"The crabapple blossoms have bloomed, proving that the mother Gu and the child Gu have met, and the 'Love' Gu has taken effect. Yun Nian, have you met that person?"

There was a hint of anxiety and frustration in his tone. Who could it be?

Suddenly, he thought of the day when Xiyu took her away.

"It's your secret guard!"

Wei Qingjue stood up suddenly, but Yun Nian grabbed his clothes again.

"Wait a moment, Your Highness. Look me in the eyes."

Yun Nian also stood up eagerly. She turned to face the Regent and raised her head to look into his deep and mysterious eyes.

"Look, do I look like I've been bewitched?"

Her expression was clear, her tone was normal, and her thoughts were not confused, but this did not prove anything.

"Oh, if I were really controlled by the Gu worm, knowing how important you are to Feiyu Tower, I would definitely tell Xiyu!"

Seeing that Wei Qingjue still didn't seem to believe it, she couldn't help but take a step forward anxiously and get closer.

Under the dim light, the girl in a pink dress looked at him with a pleading and anxious expression. She seemed to be afraid of being misunderstood, and she spoke her mind boldly and passionately.

The regent's heart softened.

"Then how did you not get affected? Old man He Yanchang also said that the Love Gu never fails, and everyone who is infected will love the mother Gu until they die."

Although he believed Yun Nian's words, he was still surprised.

"I can't tell you this, but you just need to know that I don't like Xiyu at all."

Yun Nian snorted softly, and then took the initiative and said,

"By the way, how did you escape from the assassination? And what about Xiyu saying that you were seriously injured and unconscious?"

This brings us to Wei Qingjue's vigilance. Ke Shu invited him over, and as soon as he took the wine, he knew something was wrong, so he quietly poured it on the ground.

"I hid myself immediately after I left, and asked Bai Ju to disguise himself as me and go to Chang'an Palace to handle government affairs."

But he didn't expect King Jinyang to be so bold that he actually wanted to take action in the palace. He simply used the same trick against him and lured the guards away.

Bai Ju lived up to expectations and performed brilliantly. He pretended to be injured while being protected by Qian Hui.

"It's just as you heard, but I wasn't the one injured. It was Baiju, and he wasn't really unconscious."

Of course, in addition to Feiyu Tower and Jinyang Palace, the Prime Minister is also involved. Among these people, only Yun Shuo can know his whereabouts and make notifications.

However, there was no need to tell Yun Nian about this kind of thing. He lowered his eyes.

"There are too many corrupt officials in the court. Even if I kill one group, there will be another group. They are just dissatisfied with me standing on the throne. I will naturally take this opportunity to arrest those who are so angry."

Before coming, he had already made arrangements. The people he promoted were all in inconspicuous positions. They were his eyes and ears, listening to the slightest movement in the court.

He only needs to plan and control the chess game, and when he returns, those greedy guys will be dead.

So that's how it is. Yun Nian nodded. This really fits the outside world's impression of the Regent. It seems that he can control everything in his own hands.

If he had not been "seriously injured and unconscious", the others would not have dared to raise any objections.

"wrong!"

Yun Nian suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the person in front of her with a serious face. Her fingers had long been loosened, and the mark of the crabapple flower was also covered. Only her eyes were shining.

"No, Your Highness prefers to watch the ministers quarreling with each other in Luochuan, so why would he come to Nanyan at such an important time?"

This is really unreasonable.

Wei Qingjue looked at her insightful expression and smiled faintly.

"I thought I could hide it from you."
