The box on the table was pitch black, with gold wire wrapped around the corners.

And Xie Jian's fingers were casually tapping on it.

"done?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Qian family has already leaked the news of the intertwined truth and falsehood. The young master of the Qian family is heading to the Prince's Mansion right now."

"Well. Before they find out that something is wrong, remember to spread this news to the remaining forces."

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away."

"……etc"

The sound of tapping the black box with fingertips paused slightly.

And the guard in front of him stopped suspiciously, waiting for what he hadn't finished speaking.

Xie Jian was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"There will be a bloodbath during this period of time. During this chaotic time, you must always protect that person."

"Yes, sir."

"I believe in you." The prince was very sure, "You brought this with your own hands, and I believe you will not hurt me."

Jiang Jiang was still pinching his neck, and his expression became dull upon hearing this.

Where did this stupid batch come from!

Just believe it and eat it without hesitation?

Is your heart too big or your brain lacks a string!

Facing Shang Jiang Jiang's wide eyes, the prince laughed in the next second, "It turns out that I was right, there is no poison in it, but some crushed sugar."

Crushed, crushed sugar?

Jiang Jiang's bewildered expression froze, he looked down at the cake in the prince's hand, hesitantly and in disbelief reached out and picked up a piece.

The pastry is soft, glutinous and sweet.

It is indeed sweeter than usual.

... So what Zhou Qiu gave him was not poison, but powdered sugar? ? ?

Jiang Jiang's expression gradually became terrifying.

When he was thinking in his heart how to tear Zhou Qiu up without adding sugar, the little pepper who was stunned outside became irritable, "How is that possible? I obviously got the news and went to confirm it as soon as I got it! With the influence of my Qian family, how is it possible?" meeting--"

He paused for an angry speech, and the next second, he seemed to think of something, and his expression was a little bit surprised, "With the power of my family, I will still be fooled... unless it is..."

His words made the smile on the prince's face disappear, and the prince's eyes showed fear, and he called out, "Come on, follow Young Master Qian to investigate the clues of this matter."

Little Pepper didn't say a word, apparently acquiescing.

Several guards came out and followed Xiaojiao silently.

"If the investigation of this matter comes to light, then the prince will forgive you for trespassing on the prince's mansion this time. If nothing is found out." The prince said to Xiaojiao with no expression on his face, "there are so many forces in the imperial capital. We will have to reconsider changing an ally."

Little Pepper is no longer the pampered and thoughtless person he always was, and now his expression is slightly dignified, "Yes, Your Highness."

He turned and took two steps and stopped suddenly.

Then, under Jiang Jiang's gaze, he turned his head and looked straight at him.

"Humph!"

Little Pepper gave Jiang Jiang a cold snort and a particularly hot look in his eyes.

Jiang Jiang's face was full of question marks.

Seeing Xiaojiali leaving vigorously, Jiang Jiang looked at the prince, "Your Highness, then I will go back too."

He wants to rush back to settle accounts with Zhou Qiu!

"Go back?" The prince was a little displeased, "You're going back just now?"

"I didn't come because I didn't." Jiang Jiang said tactfully, "Besides, it's already noon, so I'm going back to have lunch."

The prince raised his eyebrows, "That's just right, just eat here."

He didn't wait for Jiang Jiang to continue to refute, and after ordering his servants, he took Jiang Jiang's hand forcefully and dragged him in.

Jiang Jiang was exhausted after eating a meal.

Because the prince on the opposite side looked at him every time he took a bite, as if what he was eating was not food but Jiang Jiang.

After he struggled to get away from the prince, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Jiang wiped his forehead, and felt that it would be better for him not to take the initiative to find the prince. The wolf-like eyes of the other party always made him trembling and insecure.

Fortunately, he is now back safely.

The first thing Jiang Jiang did when he came back was to call Zhou Qiu viciously.

After giving the order, Jiang Jiang leaned against the door and stared at the road with an expression of pleading guilty.

He didn't have to wait long when he saw the butler, who was walking steadily, suddenly turn around a corner.

As if he didn't expect Jiang Jiang to be waiting for him at the door, Zhou Qiu paused invisibly.

Jiang Jiang stood up, showing a 'gentle' smile to Zhou Qiu, "Come here so soon? Come in quickly."

He walked in first, leaving behind Zhou Qiu.

Zhou Qiu, who had a calm expression before, was a little hesitant when he saw Jiang Jiang's attitude.

This kind of emotion was very rare for him, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help being a little funny and helpless.

He would feel hesitant and slightly flustered because of such a harmless young man.

Zhou Qiu shook his head, suppressing these uncontrollable emotions, and then strode in.

As soon as he entered, the door suddenly closed behind him.

At the same time, the smiling young man rushed forward.

Zhou Qiu's fingers touched the weapon subconsciously before he pounced on it, but he stopped it abruptly when he came to his senses.

Jiang Jiang rushed over without knowing it, and strangled his neck viciously, with a rare expression on his face, "What did you give me? Ah?"

Zhou Qiu's eyes flickered slightly.

The boy was in his arms right now, and he could clearly feel the temperature of the other person's body.Compared with his naturally cool physique, the warm body of the other party seemed like a little sun in the sky.

But now, the scorching sun, which was supposed to be high above, just voluntarily nestled in his arms.

Xie Jian raised his hand slightly, and tentatively touched the boy's waist with his fingertips.

Jiang Jiang didn't know it at all, and because of Zhou Qiu's strange look, he mistakenly thought that the other party was guilty, and became even more angry, "Kong Chenfen? You made up a good name. If you can't get the poison, just tell me. What do you do?" Give me a bottle of counterfeit medicine?"

Zhou Qiu lowered his eyes.

He seemed to be being scolded, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the hand that was pinching his neck.

The boy's fingers were slender, and his skin was tender and soft. Because he was an Omega, even though his face was fierce, his hands didn't have much strength.Rather than pinching himself, it would be more like sticking to his skin and holding his neck firmly.

The neck is a vulnerable place for ordinary people, and Xie Jian is no exception.

Because these areas are weak points, most people are extra sensitive to that area when they are touched.

For example, he can now clearly perceive that when the boy is complaining unhappy, his hands will move up and down with his movements, and every time he moves, Xie Jian can feel itchy.

His itchy Adam's apple rolled down uncontrollably.

Jiang Jiang was still sullen and annoyed, but he didn't notice the man in front of him was distracted.

"No, it's not even a counterfeit medicine. Give me a bottle of powdered sugar?" Jiang Jiang gritted his teeth, "Are you playing with a three-year-old? Huh? Talk!"

Only then did Zhou Qiu raise his gaze.

He looked at the angry child in front of him, and couldn't help but stroked the other's fluffy head.The fluffy hair is like a cat with fried hair, Xie Jian's hands linger on him.

Jiang Jiang shook his head, and shook off the opponent's stingy hand. "What are you doing? Don't try to divert my attention! If you don't speak clearly today, I will give you a bad review on the system later."

Under his strong dissatisfaction, Zhou Qiu withdrew his hand regrettably, and then explained, "Kongchen Powder is indeed the name of the poison, but after the poison was brought back, I—I saw the chief put it away, and took this instead." The bottle told me to give it to you."

Jiang Jiang was taken aback, "Is the powdered sugar given to me by the chief? Didn't you come up with it yourself?"

Zhou Qiu nodded calmly.

Jiang Jiang was confused, "Chairman... Why did the chief give me powdered sugar? I really thought it was poison. When I poured the powder, I wore a mask and shook my hands. If I knew it was powdered sugar, I would sprinkle it with sugar and eat it myself." That's it! If the chief doesn't need me to poison you, then you don't need to send me a powdered sugar to scare me, just let me know?"

Zhou Qiu was silent for a moment, and then a smile flashed across his eyes, "Maybe I want to give you something, but I don't know what to give, so I gave you a powdered sugar that is as sweet as you."

Jiang Jiang had an expression of 'what the hell are you talking about'.

But since the source of the problem did not lie with Zhou Qiu, Jiang Jiang shyly withdrew his hand.

He didn't notice Zhou Qiu's regret when he passed away in a flash, but fell into thinking, "Since the chief has got the poison, why didn't he give it to me? Are you planning to do something to the prince, or is it not the right time?"

"If you don't plan to do something to the prince, the chief will not prepare poison. Now that you have prepared it, then the chief must plan to do it before the prince is fledgling and has not ascended the throne. Now, the chief will not let me poison you That is to say, he thinks it is not a good time to act now." After Jiang Jiang analyzed for a long time, not only did he not suddenly understand, but he even found that he couldn't understand more and more. He looked up at Zhou Qiu in doubt, "But now the prince is about to To abolish the Crown Princess, this time is the opportunity to poison and then frame it, this is not the chief's opportunity, when will the chief plan to do it?"

We can't wait until the poison expires, let the prince take over.

Facing his doubts, Zhou Qiu's expression was still calm, and he even praised with a bit of a smile, "You have analyzed very well, you have figured out the current situation very thoroughly, and even the timing is quite standard."

Jiang Jiang wasn't overjoyed by the compliment, he curled his lips, "I'll wait for the but after you."

Zhou Qiu laughed softly, and said in a very cooperative way, "But... the chief has other plans. He doesn't want you to poison yourself instead of going your own way, so he asked me to tell you about poisoning. Let someone else do it without getting your hands dirty with it."

Jiang Jiang's eyes gradually lost their luster, and his expression began to freeze.

What do you mean it won't get his hands dirty.

He was going to poison him, not tear the prince apart?

And if someone poisons him, will his mission be completed?

Any fool would know that he would not!

Taking a step back, if someone else succeeds in poisoning, the only NPC prince will die.

Then wouldn't his last mission be out of print? ? ?

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang grabbed Zhou Qiu with a wow, and said in a terrified and flustered manner, "No, no, no, how can this matter be brought to others? It is said that the moon is the first to be near the water, and the rabbit does not eat the grass by the side of the nest." , if you want to be a prince, it is most suitable for me, a person in the prince's mansion, to do it!"

"You talk to the chief, please help me again." Jiang Jiang looked at Zhou Qiu eagerly, "I beg him, you let him give me this task, after finishing this task, he wants me Do anything!"

"I really" Jiang Jiang is sincere and sincere "I really want to get dirty."
