Chapter 389 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 7
This person is so insidious! Terrifying!
Wait... does he know she doesn't want to marry him?
Would he think she was ungrateful and, in a fit of anger, kill her? Or make her suffer a fate worse than death?
Seeing that Yun Qing looked trembling and afraid of him again, Helian Yin frowned, wanting to say something, but was interrupted.
"Miss……"
"Waaah... Miss, I'm so glad you're alright..."
Chunhua and Qiushuang crawled over, covered in dirt and blood, which startled Yunqing. She looked at Helian Yin with a pale face and asked, "Didn't you say you were alright?"
She looks like she's about to die!
Helian Yin explained, "They're all superficial injuries."
The assassins weren't targeting them. Their miserable state, aside from the initial injury from being hit by the screen, was due to being accidentally injured by swords while trying to escape the chaos to protect their master.
The regent's assessment of them was that they were fairly loyal.
With this incident, the lake tour is no longer possible.
The fifth prince has woken up, but he has lost too much blood and is pale. The guards are helping him with basic bandaging to stop the bleeding.
He looked at Helian Yin with a deep gaze, clearly harboring some suspicion.
Both had drunk tea and been drugged, but he only woke up with the antidote, while Helian Yin was woken up by a cup of cold tea.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Helian Yin seemed to have only taken a sip of tea, while he had drunk more, which seemed not impossible.
After a simple bandage, the fifth prince was carried away by the guards.
Helian Yin was too lazy to pretend to be a loving uncle and nephew. He ordered his men to carry the two maids back to the Marquis's residence to treat their injuries, and then decided to personally escort Yun Qing back.
He can't just leave his fiancée alone, can he?
After getting off the painted boat, Yun Qing kept thinking about what had just happened.
The drug must have been put in the tea. She didn't drink the tea, so she didn't faint. The reason she didn't drink it was because Helian Yin suddenly made her eat pastries.
It seems he already knew there was a drug in the tea, no wonder he didn't fall for it.
But he pretended to faint. Even when the assassins were right in front of him, he still pretended to faint. Was it because he didn't care about the Fifth Prince?
Did he want to watch the Fifth Prince be killed by assassins? Or did he have other plans?
"What are you thinking about?"
Yun Qing came to her senses and realized that she had already walked to the carriage.
"No...it's nothing."
She dared not let him discover that she was trying to figure out his thoughts, fearing that Helian Yin would question her, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "I suddenly remembered that there was also a sleeping potion in my tea, just now..."
She swallowed the words "I'll splash you" back, afraid he would retaliate later.
Helian Yin glanced at her, but didn't delve into it. He went along with her words and said, "You'll only feel dizzy if you drink that tea."
Yun Qing didn't say anything more. Just as she was about to step onto the horse stool and get into the carriage, an arm suddenly appeared in front of her.
She paused for a moment, then reached out and touched him, only to see a tooth mark near the base of his thumb.
Yun Qing was stunned for a moment. Who would dare to bite the Regent?
Helian Yin noticed that her gaze remained fixed on the tooth mark, her expression shifting repeatedly, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Fearing she might come up with unreliable speculations like "the regent eats people," he said directly, "You bit him."
Yun Qing's eyes widened instantly, and she said angrily, "Don't slander me!"
After saying that, she quickly covered her mouth and carefully observed his expression.
Helian Yin asked with an unchanged expression, "Do we need to compare the teeth marks?"
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
How can you compare? Take another bite? And then you'll have a perfect excuse to strangle me?
Hmph! I'm not stupid!
Her eyes reddened, and she looked at him with a wronged expression. Then she lowered her head and said pitifully, "If Your Highness says so, then so be it."
She was a pitiful little thing who had been wronged and bullied, and she was very endearing.
Helian Yin let out a short laugh, which sounded like a cold laugh to Yun Qing.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him raise his hand again, and Yunqing thought he was going to hit her. She was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes. Her mind was filled with the miserable image of Jiang Yunyan after being slapped and having her leg broken. She felt a little weak in the knees.
Waaah... The Regent is indeed unpredictable, his temper is fickle, and he can hit people without warning.
Helian Yin simply pressed his finger against her forehead and gently pushed her to lift her head, saying, "Open your eyes."
Yun Qing obediently opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyelashes trembling nervously, "Your...Your Highness..."
Helian Yin looked into her eyes and emphasized, "It really was you who bit her."
Then she asked, "What did you dream about last night?"
Yun Qing was instantly terrified; she had dreamt of eating chicken legs last night!
But if she bit the Regent's hand because she dreamed of eating a chicken leg, that would be truly terrifying to think about.
Seeing that he had frightened the person, Helian Yin had no choice but to say, "Qi Shi said you were frightened, so I went to check on you. It won't happen again."
Yun Qing gave a doubtful "Oh," and Helian Yin didn't say anything more.
The matter of the secret guards that I originally wanted to mention was swallowed back.
She's so afraid of him; if she knew there were bodyguards always by her side, wouldn't she be living in constant fear and unable to eat or sleep?
But she couldn't not have the guards follow her either. Now that she was involved with him, there would be many dangers around her, and Marquis Ning'an was unreliable.
It seems I should marry her as soon as possible.
He made the engagement on a whim, so he has to take responsibility for it.
The Regent personally escorted the person back, which flattered Marquis Ning'an. After a moment's thought, he tentatively asked, "Your Highness, my daughter Yunyan..."
Helian Yin interrupted him directly, his eyes filled with coldness, his tone icy, "Does the Marquis intend to come and question me?"
Marquis Ning'an was startled and knelt down with a thud. "Your subject dares not, Regent, please forgive me."
Seeing Helian Yin's face change so quickly, Yun Qing sighed again at how unpredictable his mind was. She wanted to kneel down as well, but Helian Yin grabbed her elbow and stopped her.
"Miss Jiang, you will soon be my queen. You represent my reputation, do you understand?"
Yun Qing nodded, her face serious. "I understand! I can't let you down!"
Helian Yin felt that she didn't quite understand, and helplessly added, "So bullying you is the same as bullying me. If you are bullied in the future, tell me in time, and I will bully you back for you."
Yun Qing blinked, then nodded hesitantly and said, "Okay."
She couldn't quite understand what Helian Yin's purpose was in saying that.
She didn't think she knew the Regent well and had no contact with him at all. He suddenly changed his fiancée to her and now seemed to be backing her up. His motives didn't seem pure at all.
Was he deliberately causing this scene at the Marquis's residence to get revenge on Jiang Yunyan?
While Yun Qing was still lost in thought, Marquis Ning'an was already trembling with fear.
The Regent's attitude is already very clear.
He then thought of the events in court today. Could it be that the Regent was not angry with him because of Jiang Yunyan, but because he had scolded Yunqing last night?
Has the Regent really fallen for someone else?
Or was his special treatment of Jiang Yunyan simply because she was engaged to him?
Now, the person he is engaged to has changed to Yun Qing...
Whether Yun Qing understood or not is hard to say, but Marquis Ning'an certainly did. From now on, he should treat this daughter with great respect!
Actually, thinking about it, he has always been quite fond of Yun Qing. As long as he doesn't scold her in the future, he will still be a good father-in-law of the Regent, right?
Helian Yin was busy with affairs, so after safely delivering the person and giving Ning'an Marquis a lecture, he left.
Yunqing went to see Chunhua and Qiushuang and saw them lying on the bed with pale faces. Thinking of the fright she had suffered today, she was furious. She took two maids and went to Jiang Yunyan's courtyard in a huff.
If it weren't for Jiang Yunyan, why would she have wanted to seize the Fifth Prince? If she hadn't wanted to seize the Fifth Prince, why would she have gone boating on the lake? And if she hadn't gone boating on the lake, why would she have encountered the assassination attempt?
In short, it's all Jiang Yunyan's fault!
