Next, cold boss

Chapter 40 The scent of roses

Between dreaming and waking up, Guan Chu's eyes slowly fell into darkness...

When I opened my eyes again, I was in the hospital.

Everyone told Guan Chu that there were no "ghosts" at all, only hallucinations.

Guan Chu still felt comforted, and the hallucinations were not bad.

At least it's no longer "dreams and idlers don't dream kings".

After inspection and observation, Guan Chu was confirmed to be fine and can be discharged from the hospital.

When he was discharged from the hospital, the prince sent his staff to visit Guan Chu for the first time.Seeing that Guan Chu's mental state had recovered, the staff asked again: "Can you still remember what you found in the pine forest that night?"

Guan Chu shook his head.

The staff showed a regretful expression.

But Guan Chu said, "Did Songlin's assassin find anything suspicious?"

Guan Chu is very clear that the prince has a lot of things to do every day, how can he have the time to really care about himself?I came here in person before, and then sent my staff to ask. I am afraid that there is a reason for the incident.

And for this reason, the staff member smiled awkwardly as he saw it was inconvenient to say.

But Guan Chu said: "Maybe it's because of the smoke, my memory is still quite confused. If you find anything strange, you can remind me, maybe I will remember it."

The aide said, "You only saw one assassin, right?"

"Yes." Guan Chu said firmly, "It's that 'red ghost'."

The staff member paused and said, "According to what you said, you caused the injury on his head?"

"Yes." Guan Chu replied, "I hit his head on the tree a few times."

"What happened after that? Did he fall into a coma?" asked the aide.

"I forgot." Guan Chu was sure that the "female ghost" was knocked unconscious by him, but out of some uncertain considerations, he didn't tell the truth: "I saw his face, it was Yi Xianjun's." face, it made me feel flustered. Maybe the smoke also had an effect, I was not sober at that time, and I couldn't remember a lot of things."

"According to your memory," the staff member said, "you panicked and beat him to a concussion, right?"

"Yeah." Guan Chu nodded, "You can say that."

The staff looked at Guan Chu: "According to the doctor's appraisal and your memory, he didn't hurt you at all, did he?"

"Yes." Guan Chu frowned, "You don't mean to imply that I'm 'too defensive'?"

"No, no, of course not." The staff immediately shook his head, "I just find it strange that you can easily subdue him, so to speak, his force is not strong. If so, how could he single-handedly overwhelm several others?" What about a friend who fell?"

Guan Chu said, "Didn't you say he was holding a gun in his hand?"

"If he had a gun, why didn't he use it when he was shot by you?" The staff member analyzed suspiciously, "Besides, according to the inspection report, his accomplice was shot first after being knocked down."

Guan Chu was more suspicious, but his face was calm, and he followed the analysis and said, "That's really strange, do you suspect that there are other people present?"

The staff member sighed: "But no trace of other people was found. It's almost like... a ghost."

"Hitting a ghost?" Guan Chu murmured.

At this time, the little secretary who helped Guan Chu complete the discharge procedures ran over with big bags and small bags, said hello to the staff, and left the hospital with Guan Chu.

While walking down the steps outside the hospital, the little secretary asked curiously, "What did he tell you just now?"

Guan Chu replied, "He asked me about the pine forest."

"Still asking?" The little secretary's two furry eyebrows frowned like earthworms.

Guan Chu said: "He said it's too suspicious, it's almost like it's haunted."

Hearing the word "ghost", the little secretary felt sorry for her, shrugged her shoulders, and asked softly: "Didn't you say that you saw a 'ghost in red' with Mr. Yi Xian's face? But they Said that the female ghost didn't look like that at all. Could it be that you really saw... Mr. Yi Xian?"

The little secretary seemed to be very scared, and the ending was trembling: "That day, the old master said that your seal is dark and you are prone to bumping into ghosts. You bumped into ghosts on the same day, isn't it... Could it be a real ghost bumping?" ?”

Guan Chu's eyes moved, and he said, "Maybe."

The little secretary chanted Buddha, took out a small yellow talisman from his pocket, and said, "I specially asked for this from the mountain temple. Do you want to wear it?"

The corner of Guan Chu's mouth twitched slightly: "You have a heart, and you even asked for a talisman for me."

"Actually... I also asked for one for myself." The little secretary replied honestly, "This one is buy one get one free."

When Guan Chu heard "buy one get one free", he naturally felt that it was not very reliable.

The little secretary also seemed to see the suspicion in Guan Chu's eyes, and hurriedly said: "This temple is very spiritual. And the old abbot said that this is the right medicine, and it can cure evil spirits and evil spirits."

Guan Chu took the yellow talisman paper folded into a triangle and weighed it in his hand: "Just this thing can cure Yi Xianjun?"

After Guan Chu returned to the East Palace for less than half an hour, the crown prince hurriedly summoned Guan Chu for questioning.

Guan Chu originally thought that this was related to the "ghost bumping incident", but unexpectedly, what the crown prince said was something else: "The crown prince was kidnapped by Yi Tianfan."

Guan Chu was very surprised: "How could the princess be taken away? Didn't you arrange a team of people to protect him?"

The prince quickly said: "Originally, it was, but today Yi Tianfan suddenly took someone to the nursing home, saying that he had something to ask the princess to leave. He brought enough people, so he was able to take him away forcibly."

Guan Chu was deeply surprised: "Is there any law for the king? You are the crown prince. Isn't it disrespectful for Yi Tianfan to do this?"

The "prince prince" and "disrespectful" at this moment can be regarded as speaking of the prince's heart.But the prince still maintained his superficial humility, and only said: "What age is it now, where is this? I am also a servant of the people."

Guan Chu thought: This is disgusting.

But Guan Chu didn't speak, just nodded expressionlessly.

The prince also said: "Father entrusted Yi Tianfan with the matter of thoroughly investigating the rebel party, and gave him the power of imperial envoy. This is because father trusted him, but he was a little proud of it, and often took the privilege of imperial envoy Do something that cuts first and plays later. This time too, he used the excuse of asking questions and forcibly took the princess away."

Guan Chu thought for a while and said, "Then why doesn't Your Highness ask His Majesty to uphold justice?"

"I also told my father, who knows that Yi Tianfan has registered in front of my father. My father didn't care too much, and said that Yi Tianfan is considered to be the uncle of the crown princess, so this time he will be the crown prince's concubine." Once I go back to my mother's house, I will be back in a few days, so please don't be nervous." The prince said with a sigh.

Guan Chu thought to himself: It seems that Yi Tianfan is really favored by the emperor.It was not an exaggeration to say that Yi Tianfan was so powerful that he could not give the prince face.

Guan Chu said again: "What is the prince's plan when he told me about this matter?"

The prince patted Guan Chu's shoulder affectionately, and said: "I heard that you have some friendship with Yi Tianfan, and the princess is willing to talk to you, why don't you ask him, it's best to let him put the princess back to recuperate .If he refuses, or if the princess is unwilling to come back, at least ask for an exact return date."

Hearing the words "The Crown Princess is also willing to talk to you", "or the Crown Princess is unwilling to come back", Guan Chu understood.The princess was not "robbed", but ran away with Yi Tianfan voluntarily.Even the emperor said that the crown princess was just returning to her natal family, so the situation is very clear.

Yi Tianfan must know that the princess is under house arrest, not really recovering from illness.And this Yi Tianfan also showed kindness for some reason, first he went to the emperor and said a few words to make the crown prince gag, and then he went to the sanatorium to rescue the crown princess with the pretext of questioning, and took him back.As honorable as a prince, there is nothing he can do about it for a while.

And at this moment, the Crown Princess is indeed at Yi Tianfan's home.

Yi Tianfan's home is still heavily guarded like a "steel castle", and there is a security check before entering.Guan Chu took off the communication equipment and metal products he was carrying to pass the security check, but he refused to put down the flowers in his hand.

Yi Tianfan greeted him with a smile, and said, "Why did you bring flowers?"

But Guan Chu was holding a bouquet of roses, half of which were red Legendary roses, and half were white Polaris roses. It looked full of style and was truly beautiful.

Yi Tianfan said, "However, I don't accept gifts from guests. Don't bring flowers in."

Guan Chu looked at him strangely: "You don't think this is for you, do you?"

Yi Tianfan choked.

Guan Chu said again: "I bought this on the way, and I plan to take it home and insert it."

"Oh..." Yi Tianfan felt a little embarrassed.

Guan Chu said nonchalantly, "Do you think I will give you roses?"

"..." Yi Tianfan admired Guan Chu's ability to make the scene more embarrassing than a sentence.

Guan Chu thought for a while, but said: "However, in fact, this is not a rose."

Yi Tianfan asked: "Then what is this?"

Guan Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "Rose has a fragrance. You can smell this to see if there is any fragrance."

Yi Tianfan leaned over and smelled it, but naturally he didn't smell any sweet fragrance, so he just said, "No smell."

Guan Chu said: "Smell again."

Yi Tianfan inhaled again, and Fang said, "It's just a little smell from ordinary plants."

"That's right," Guan Chu said, "roses have fragrance, but most of the cut flowers on the market are roses, so they don't have such a strong fragrance."

Listening to Guan Chu's serious science popularization, Yi Tianfan felt amused: "I didn't expect Mr. Guan to become an expert in roses."

"That's out of the question." Guan Chu said.

Yi Tianfan coughed and said, "The Crown Princess is in the guest room, may I have someone lead you to meet him?"

"Okay." Guan Chu went up with the rose in his arms.

In the center of the room is a handmade wool rug, knitted in a lovely undulating oasis pattern.Dr. Yi was barefoot, sitting on the woolen carpet, holding a bag of potato chips in one hand, and stuffing potato chips into his mouth with the other, with his legs spread apart, watching TV without image.It looked completely devoid of the dignified elegance of a princess.

"Why are you here?" Dr. Yi held up the bag of potato chips, "Do you want a bite?"

Guan Chu frowned and shook his head in refusal: He really couldn't agree with such a behavior of eating potato chips on the wool carpet.

Dr. Yi smiled and said, "Sit down."

Guan Chu didn't take a seat on the sofa, after all, he thought it was inappropriate for him to sit higher than the other party, so he had to sit on the ground like Dr. Yi.But seeing Guan Chu sitting upright on the carpet with his back straight, holding flowers in his hands, it was a bit funny to watch.

Dr. Yi couldn't help asking: "Is this flower for me?"

Guan Chu said: "No."

Dr. Yi said again: "Why don't you put the flowers down first?"

"No need." Guan Chu said, "Flowers are not heavy."

Dr. Yi couldn't continue talking about flowers, so he just asked, "Why are you here?" He thought for a while, "The prince asked you to persuade me to go back?"

"It seems to be." Guan Chu said, "I don't know why he thinks I can persuade you to do anything."

"Maybe he didn't think so either." Dr. Yi bowed his head.

Guan Chu tilted his head to look at Dr. Yi, and said, "Why did you choose to go with Yi Tianfan?"

"Why didn't you first ask why Yi Tianfan was willing to fight with the crown prince and take me away?" Dr. Yi asked back.

Guan Chu thought for a while and said, "Maybe you have reached some kind of deal."

"No." Dr. Yi shook his head, crushed the potato chips in one bite, and made a crisp "crack" sound between his teeth, "There is no deal. Speaking of which, since Mr. Yi Xian's accident, I have been 'raised' in a nursing home , A team of people guards me every day, and I can’t even make a deal with anyone.”

"That's right." Guan Chu nodded, "Why did Yi Tianfan take you away suddenly? You have no idea?"

Dr. Yi frowned, and ate another piece of potato chips: "I guess, he probably wanted something from me, but he didn't say it clearly, he just told me to take a good rest."

"Since the situation is unknown, why are you still willing to go with him?" Guan Chu was even more puzzled.

"There are so many others." Dr. Yi replied confidently, "The people on the prince's side can't beat him at first glance. I have to go with him by myself, or be carried away. As the active princess, I still have to choose a more elegant one." Make a plan." While saying it must be elegant, he ate potato chips on the carpet with bare feet and legs apart.

Guan Chu finally understood, after a while, he sighed deeply again: "You have to be careful."

"Be careful?" Dr. Yi seemed a little curious, "Why did you suddenly sigh?"

Guan Chu looked at Dr. Yi as if he was examining something, and after a while, he said, "Yi Tianfan once told me that wisdom teeth died because of a recording."

Hearing these words, the potato chips in Dr. Yi's mouth were no longer delicious.

He opened his mouth and threw the potato chips on the floor, letting the crumbs fall into the expensive wool carpet.

"How does he know?" Dr. Yi asked in surprise.

Guan Chu also said coldly: "Yes, how did he know?"

Dr. Yi pondered for a while: "What did he say?"

"He said that he sent someone to risk his life to steal the recording from the East Palace." Guan Chu said slowly, "He used this as an excuse to ask me to help him resist the crown prince."

Dr. Yi was stunned: "Then he is really powerful, he can even steal the East Palace."

"Or he didn't steal it at all." Guan Chu said, "The prince can't be so careless. And it is very difficult to steal things like recordings."

Dr. Yi's expression froze: "What do you mean?"

Guan Chu said: "I think, could it be reversed? It's not that he stole the recording from the prince, but he copied the recording to the prince?"

Dr. Yi's face seemed to be covered by a dark cloud: "He...how could..."

"Yi Tianfan gave me Juejiang's key at the beginning, asking me to take revenge on the Guan family, which led to civil strife in the Guan family. Although I did not retaliate as he expected, his goal was actually half achieved, and the Guan family was in trouble. , I have also become an outcast of the Guan family, and Guan Youyun will never be the same as before." Speaking of this, Guan Chu looked sad, "It is Yi Tianfan who is good at sowing dissension."

Dr. Yi seemed to have figured it out: "He wants to repeat the old trick and use the recording to provoke the wisdom teeth and the prince? Now what about..."

"Maybe I'm provoking you and the crown prince now." Guan Chu said calmly, "When he asked me to help him deal with the crown prince, I kept pretending to be calm and didn't take the bait, so he was in a hurry and had to confess about the recording. In fact, when he said When I knew that the wisdom tooth was Yi Xianjun, I began to doubt him."

Dr. Yi's face sank like water, and he quietly listened to Guan Chu's words.

"He should have thought of today's step since he sent the recording to the East Palace. He took advantage of the prince's suspicious and ruthless personality to remove his wisdom teeth. Considering the relationship between wisdom teeth and you, he should have thought that the prince will definitely suspect You, and you will also be dissatisfied with the prince because of the death of wisdom teeth."

"Then, the crown prince did what he expected to do to the wisdom teeth, and put me under house arrest." Dr. Yi thought it over, and said with a sigh, "Now, Yi Tianfan 'rescued' me because he wanted to use me to deal with the crown prince. Abacus. Is that what you mean?"

Guan Chu replied: "I think so."

"Yes." Yi Tianfan's voice sounded suddenly.

It was him, pushing the door open.

How could Yi Tianfan let Guan Chu wander around in his home?

Dr. Yi's room has long been equipped with monitoring equipment.That's why Yi Tianfan allowed Guan Chu to come to see Dr. Yi alone.

Yi Tianfan was also surprised to hear Guan Chu analyze his plan so calmly.He simply showed up directly, appeared in the guest room, and said with a smile: "It's really like what you said, so what?"

Dr. Yi stood up suddenly, with a look of shock and anger on his face: "If this is really the case, then you have a big problem."

"Why?" Yi Tianfan still twisted his bracelet peacefully.

Dr. Yi sneered and said, "You sow dissension, not only bring down the Yi family, but also the Guan family, and now you are eyeing the royal family. What is the purpose? Not to mention, you can get the medicine that Guan Chu and Mr. Xian used to take. materials, as well as the recording of Mr. Xian talking to the rebel party..."

"So?" Yi Tianfan asked, as if he was waiting for an answer from Dr. Yi.

"So," Dr. Yi said every word, "you are a traitor."

"Hahaha!" Yi Tianfan laughed, very proud, "You are my good nephew, you are so smart and quick-witted, it really suits my taste."

Dr. Yi felt that he should spit on him, but here, there are people under the roof.

As an OMEGA, Dr. Yi only felt a dilemma, and turned to look at Guan Chu: "You... since you knew early on..."

"When I wanted to understand, you were already trapped in the nursing home. There are so many eyes and ears, I can't explain it to you." Guan Chu explained.

Dr. Yi shook his head: "Of course I understand this, and I know it too. I just want to ask you, since you know that Yi Tianfan is behind the scenes, why aren't you on guard? Why are you still throwing yourself into the trap? Just to remind me ?”

Yi Tianfan also found it funny: "It's okay not to remind, but once reminded, I was reminded too. If it wasn't for Guan Chu, you came to have a showdown with the princess, I don't know how to guard against you."

Guan Chu's expression did not change, and he lightly brushed the rose on his chest with his hand: "Did you really not smell any special smell just now?"

Yi Tianfan was taken aback: "What?"

"What a fool." Guan Chu said indifferently, "If it's wisdom teeth, you can definitely smell it."

Yi Tianfan was startled and suspicious, but suddenly he felt a cramping pain in his chest, as if there were thousands of swords in his heart.His face turned pale, he clutched his chest, and fell to the ground suddenly.

Witnessing this scene, Dr. Yi's face showed a deeper layer of surprise, doubt, and even fear.He looked at Guan Chu with a stiff neck, but he saw that Guan Chu's face was also white, haggard white, but there were watery waves in his eyes, reflecting Yi Tianfan's painful face.
