Chapter 796 Use Nicotine to Numb Yourself

Why is the study door open?

Manager Fan was stunned, frowned slightly, walked to the door of the study and looked inside.

Just looking at it like this, Manager Fan saw an unbelievable picture!

The lights in the study were all turned off at some point, and the gauzy curtains were all closed, leaving the surroundings in darkness, giving people the illusion that it was already evening.

Manager Fan's brows furrowed even deeper. He took a closer look and found a slumped figure slumped on the ground.

That is……

Lord Emperor? !

Manager Fan's thoughts were swirling fiercely. He locked his eyes on the figure lying on the ground and let out a low cry in disbelief.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you——"

Although I have not known Jiang Xuecheng for a long time, in Manager Fan's opinion, this man is always elegant and noble, giving people a temperament as pure as the ice and snow on the top of the mountain.

But the pale young man in front of him was like a beast that had been severely injured. He was lonely, trapped, and could only struggle in hopelessness.

What happened? !

Manager Fan was confused. It seemed that Jiang Xuecheng didn't hear the low cry he just made.

Manager Fan took courage and approached Jiang Xuecheng in small steps.

However, before he could take more than two steps, he suddenly saw the young man suddenly raising his head!

In an instant, their eyes met!

What a pair of eyes that is!

The room was dim, and Jiang Xuecheng's black eyes turned coldly, like the dark sea water on a rainy night, deep and cold, hard to fathom.

In Jiang Xuecheng's cold eyes, Manager Fan clearly saw his own reflection.

Manager Fan was silent, and his hands suddenly stiffened.

There was an inexplicable chill spreading throughout his body. For a moment, he even suspected that this young man would transform into a brave and crazy leopard and bite his throat out in one fell swoop!

"Your Highness, why don't you turn on the light——"

Manager Fan looked at the young man with strong and tight cheek lines, and couldn't help but whisper again, trying to regain Jiang Xuecheng's reason.

It's not that he's not afraid, but apart from this, Manager Fan really doesn't know what he can do?

Flee?

Manager Fan didn't think he could outrun Jiang Xuecheng, and he didn't do anything. Manager Fan believed that Jiang Xuecheng was not the kind of person who would express his anger easily.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at Manager Fan coldly, and Manager Fan was at a loss unconsciously.

However, just when Manager Fan was feeling anxious, he suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng's voice.

"Do you have a cigarette?"

I don't know what happened, but Jiang Xuecheng's voice was very hoarse, and his tone of voice was completely different from usual.

There is no such intimidating majesty, nor the coldness that repels people thousands of miles away. Instead, he is just like an ordinary person, borrowing a cigarette.

Manager Fan swallowed his throat. Jiang Xuecheng's words made him completely stunned!

His brows furrowed even more tightly, and his breathing became slightly stagnant.

——As we all know, the emperor never smokes, because Jiang Xuecheng doesn't like cigarettes, and even the guards on duty in the palace dare not smoke in the emperor's mansion.

If you must smoke while on duty, you will definitely find a hidden corner to relieve your addiction, hoping that no one will see you.

"No, right?"

Seeing that Manager Fan didn't answer, Jiang Xuecheng raised his head again and glanced sideways at Manager Fan. His eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was suppressing.

Manager Fan was so frightened by Jiang Xuecheng's look that he finally came to his senses and realized that he should satisfy the emperor's request.

"Your Highness, you want cigarettes, right? I'll ask someone to get them. What kind of cigarettes do you like? Is there a designated brand?"

Manager Fan was afraid of neglecting Jiang Xuecheng, so he asked a few questions.

However, Manager Fan only had two words to answer.

"random."

Does this mean to let yourself watch?

Manager Fan was startled suddenly, and after he came to his senses, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll let people prepare now."

As Manager Fan spoke, he walked backwards out the door. When he saw the dim scene inside, he didn't know whether he was possessed by a ghost or something, but Manager Fan couldn't help but say something.

"Your Highness, it's too dark here. Can I turn on a light?"

When he saw Jiang Xuecheng's appearance, Manager Fan felt inexplicably unbearable.

How could the innocent young man in his impression suddenly become like this, and even want to smoke for the first time?

Manager Fan was met with silence.

Manager Fan struggled for a while, and when Jiang Xuecheng didn't say anything, he directly understood Jiang Xuecheng's meaning as acquiescence.

He reached out and pressed the touch screen switch next to him. In just half a second, Manager Fan saw the most realistic yet illusory scene in the study.

The indoor lights were bright, and the gorgeous crystal chandelier emitted a faint light, falling on the slumped figure on the floor.

Jiang Xuecheng had lowered his head at some point, and his broken black hair hung on his eyelashes, making it difficult to see Jiang Xuecheng's expression at this moment.

He was like a wounded beast, soothing his wounds, but there was a certain aura of despair all over his body.

Manager Fan was filled with questions until he accidentally caught a glimpse of a metal object in Jiang Xuecheng's hand.

In Jiang Xuecheng's hand, he saw a cold knife, the tip of which was still stained with blood.

That is……

In the flash of lightning, Manager Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood where the injury on the high priest's neck came from.

After Manager Fan figured this out, thunder suddenly struck his mind and his ears buzzed!

Why did the high priest and His Highness suddenly have a disagreement and start a fight? !

It was clear that the injured person was the high priest, but Manager Fan looked at Jiang Xuecheng's slumped figure, but he had a feeling that the emperor's son was the loser.

Manager Fan didn't dare to think any more. For an insignificant person like him, the less he knew about such things, the better. He quickly stepped back.

…

Soon Manager Fan presented a box of cigarettes. It was a very expensive brand and was sold in limited quantities every year. The nobles rushed to buy it to show their status.

However, Jiang Xuecheng had never smoked in the past and did not understand the secrets involved. However, even if Jiang Xuecheng knew, he would not care.

Jiang Xuecheng had never smoked before, but he skillfully picked up the lighter and lit the cigarette butt.

Then he leaned over and took a gentle breath, and a fragrant and slightly astringent breath suddenly spread out in the air.

Jiang Xuecheng frowned as he felt the pungent smell filling his mouthpiece.

But the young man's posture of clinging to tobacco is still elegant.

So Jiang Xuecheng continued to smoke. After all, he was not familiar with this matter. Suddenly he took a breath and started coughing intermittently. It was obvious that he was not feeling well.

Manager Fan looked at Jiang Xuecheng's appearance and couldn't help but give him advice.

"Your Highness, if you don't like it, just stop smoking it, right? Too much smoking is not good for your health. How about I call Miss Su over..."
