Chapter 44 You Are Really Stubborn
Did he want Shen Ning to be devoted to him?
No, Shen Ning wouldn't. With her temper, she would definitely hate the Regent and hate him for using such a despicable way to get her...
Qin Yanshu was stunned, and suddenly felt desperate and powerless.
It was obviously him who did such a despicable thing. If Shen Ning really wanted to hate, she would definitely hate him.
"Yanshu." Mrs. Qin saw his lost soul and was so disappointed. "You and the princess are getting married soon, so don't think about other irrelevant people. She is already the Regent Princess, and you can't mess with her."
Qin Yanshu looked at his mother, took a deep breath, and his emotions calmed down a little bit, but there was a chill in his lungs.
"Mother." He said calmly, "I want to go to the Regent's Mansion, not to see Shen Ning, but just to say a few words to the Regent."
Mrs. Qin said coldly: "You are not allowed to go."
Qin Yanshu said firmly: "If mother disagrees, my marriage with Princess Pingyao will be cancelled."
"How dare you!" Mrs. Qin's face turned pale, "Qin Yanshu, do you still have a brain? Can you afford to offend the Regent?"
Qin Yanshu said: "I'm not going to provoke him."
Mrs. Qin closed her eyes and suppressed her anger: "At the moment It's getting late. You can go tomorrow. After you go to the Regent's Mansion, you must cut off all ties with Shen Ning. "
Qin Yanshu was silent for a moment, and insisted: "I want to go tonight."
"You are really stubborn." Madam Qin was so angry that she wanted to have someone beat him up, but in the end she turned around and ordered coldly, "Arrange a carriage for the eldest son! Guards protect the eldest son well."
"Yes."
Qin Yanshu bowed slowly: "Thank you, mother."
"I really owe you in my last life." Madam Qin said this, turned around and left.
Qin Yanshu walked out of the mansion, got on the carriage, and thought very calmly about what he would say to the Regent when he met him later.
It is said outside how terrible the Regent is, but he has never felt this way.
He is the nephew of the Queen Mother. He has been in glory since he was a child. He enjoys almost the same treatment as a prince when he enters and leaves the palace. He always knows that the Regent will die sooner or later, but the Qin family can prosper for a hundred years.
So as long as he could endure the injustice for himself and Shen Ning in a short period of time, and wait until he married Princess Pingyao, he could compete with the Regent.
If he persisted for two or three years, when the Regent disappeared and the Qin family had no rivals, he would definitely protect Shen Ning and double the compensation for her injustice.
He just didn't expect that she had such a fierce temper and would rather marry the cruel Regent than be his concubine.
Qin Yanshu regretted it, and his intestines turned green with regret.
If he knew that Shen Ning would make such a choice, he would not allow his mother to cancel the engagement. As long as she didn't cancel the engagement, she would always be his fiancée, and even the Regent would not have the right to snatch her away.
Qin Yanshu closed his eyes in pain, his heart was overwhelmed by heavy regret.
The carriage slowly arrived outside the gate of the Regent's Mansion.
Qin Yanshu got out of the car and walked to the front of the courtyard. He said to the doorman, "Please inform the Regent King and tell him that Qin Yanshu, the legitimate son of the uncle's mansion, wants to see you."
The doorman frowned, "The Regent King has important matters to attend to. He won't see guests today."
Qin Yanshu said, "I have something very important to tell him in person."
"The Regent King has ordered that no one will see him today."
"You--" Qin Yanshu was about to say something, but suddenly remembered what day it was today, and his voice was stuck.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Can I see the Regent Princess?"
"Mr. Qin." The doorman frowned and looked at him with some displeasure, "It's late now. It's not appropriate for you to come to the door to ask to see the princess, right?"
Besides, even if you want to see their prince or princess, you should hand in a card in advance, instead of coming rashly like this.
The legitimate son of the Qin family really has no rules at all.
Qin Yanshu clenched his hands and looked at the closed door of the Regent's Mansion. After a moment, he lowered his head and took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the doorman: "Please inform them. If the Regent Princess says she doesn't want to see me, I will leave immediately." The two doormen shook the silver, which was quite heavy. One of them was a little more polite: "Then you wait here, I will go in and ask for instructions." Qin Yanshu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly. He waited outside for a long time, thinking that these days should be the days when the Regent's poison will take effect, and even if he takes the antidote, he will not see him. So he came at the wrong time, but it was also the right time. Qin Yanshu didn't know much about the poison in the Regent. He only knew that the Regent was indeed poisoned, and even if he took the antidote on time, he would most likely not survive in two years. Because the late emperor didn't intend to let him live. But outsiders had no way of knowing what the symptoms and reactions were after the poison took effect, and what the situation would be after taking the antidote. After a long time, the doorman came out from the side door, "Please follow me." Qin Yanshu came back to his senses, thanked him, and followed him in. Shen Ning was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard of Linzhi Hall. Two lanterns were hung above the pavilion, which made the view in the pavilion bright, and the beauty looked cold and unworldly, as beautiful as jade. Ji Yucang was resting in the hall. Although he was poisoned today, he was weak during the period of poisoning. I am afraid he didn't sleep all night last night, so he needed to make up for the sleep and recover his vitality today. However, Shen Ning was the regent princess after all. In order to avoid suspicion, it was impossible for her to meet a man outside the inner courtyard, especially at night, which was even more inappropriate. He could only ask someone to bring Qin Yanshu, who came to the door, to Linzhi Hall.
"Ning'er." Qin Yanshu walked outside the pavilion and looked at Shen Ning deeply, "I have something to tell you." Shen Ning sat at the table drinking tea, her tone indifferent: "Please call me Regent Princess." Qin Yanshu's expression was slightly tense: "Ning'er--" Qin Yanshu, do you want to be slapped again? Shen Ning raised her eyes slightly and looked at him expressionlessly, "I have been in a bad mood recently. If anyone provokes me, I want to vent violently. If you call me by my name again, you will no longer have the opportunity to speak tonight." Qin Yanshu's lips turned pale, and he was silent for a long time, and finally compromised: "Princess." "What's the matter?" "I want to clarify something with you." Qin Yanshu walked to the stone table and reached out to pull Shen Ning's hand, "There is something I am sorry for you--" Snap! Shen Ning stood up and slapped him in the face: "Did you forget the difference between the superior and the inferior, and the defense between men and women?"
Qin Yanshu's face was slapped off, he covered his face and lowered his head sadly: "I just couldn't help it."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have to fart, fart quickly." Shen Ning sat down coldly, "Get out of here after you fart."
In the bedroom, Ji Yucang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene in the courtyard, listening to Shen Ning's cold words, and a permissive smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although Qin Yanshu's arrival made him very unhappy.
However, Qin Yanshu was destined to not get much good in front of Shen Ning, and he could also give his princess a chance to vent violence, which was also the only use of Qin Yanshu recently.
"I want to clarify something with you." Qin Yanshu lowered his head, as if he couldn't speak. "Recently, there are rumors that you encountered bandits in the suburbs because the regent liked you but couldn't get you, so he sent people to kill the maids and guards around you, and the person who ruined your innocence was the regent." Shen Ning stared at him without saying a word, his eyes were cold, and it made people feel cold. Qin Yanshu pursed his lips: "Have you heard of this rumor?" Shen Ning's voice was cold: "What do you want to say?" "If you are devoted to him because of this rumor, I... I..." Qin Yanshu bit his lip, "I..."
