Qin Xin was imprisoned in Hanyun Palace next to the cold palace. Probably because of the empress dowager's order, no one made things difficult for her.

Of course, except for Concubine Shu, whose courage seems to be growing on a lever that can lift the earth.

"Snapped--"

Qin Xin tilted his head to avoid the whip and closed his eyes. Fortunately, he dodged it quickly.

"You still dare to hide?"

Liu Yanran swung a whip and his hands began to shake. Seeing Qin Xin dodge, he became extremely angry.

"If you don't hide, you will be committing an offense."

Seeing Concubine Shu doing evil with a whip, Qin Xin frowned. Is Gu Fei still not awake?

Isn’t it... a bit too wasteful?

Seeing Qin Xin frowning, Liu Yanran was satisfied and raised her eyebrows arrogantly——

"Stop bluffing. You're actually very scared, right?"

Liu Yanran was wearing a heavy and delicate skirt, which made it difficult for her to walk. She shook her wrists twice and swung the whip again.

"You ask me to beat you up twice to vent your anger, and then kowtow three times to ask to be deposed, and I will plead for you, how about that?"

Qin Xin barely dodged the second whip, but was still hit on the forehead, causing his head to go numb with pain.

She took a breath and sighed in her heart as she looked at the vicious female supporting role that was so flat.

This is a good fortune, with the Queen Mother as a backer, otherwise he would have died eight hundred times. It is bad luck for me to meet such a crazy woman.

"No way."

Qin Xin sat lazily on the couch, with one leg raised, her bandaged hand resting on her knee, glancing slightly sideways, and said.

But in my heart I urged: System, it would be impolite if you pretend to be dead again.

The system came online with a creaking sound of aged electricity.

System: There is nothing I can do.

Qin Xin: Oh, then do you know how His Majesty Gu...is doing?

She finally understood that she could only use this thing as an intelligence agent.

System: Still in coma.

Qin Xin gave up the idea of ​​confronting Liu Yanran head-on. Since her teammates weren't awake yet, she just focused on developing herself first.

"Just wait, if anything happens to His Majesty, you will be executed!"

Liu Yanran threw the whip angrily, and seeing that Qin Xin took it indifferently, she narrowed her eyes and threatened him.

"The guards accompanying you will also die."

It seems that he is determined to pin this crime on her. Qin Xin touched the gauze on her arm and thought so.

"Have you ever thought about who His Majesty would deal with first when he wakes up, since His Majesty was only slightly injured?"

Qin Xin felt that it was a waste of time to talk to Concubine Shu, so she said directly: "The Queen Mother doesn't know you are coming, if I get bumped or bruised..."

She snorted and moved her eyes from Liu Yanran's delicate face to her neck.

Liu Yanran shuddered.

Then she heard Qin Xin casually say "The Concubine Shu must pay double the compensation."

Liu Yanran left.

It was not because of being scared, but because of the confidants outside who urged him.

Before she left, she did not forget to wink at the guards outside.

Qin Xin was helpless. When the door closed and it was dark all around, she actually hoped that Liu Yanran would come back and chat with her.

It's quite entertaining to hear the loud shouting and screaming.

However, she waited and waited, and no one let her out, nor did anyone make things difficult for her.

Her stomach growled and Qin Xin cleared her throat.

"Send me some wine and food."

No one said a word.

Okay, Liu Yanran, if you can’t win, just use this trick, right?

Qin Xin didn't panic when the whip came; but she panicked when her food was cut off.

She raised her other leg, brought her knees together, put her hands on them, and buried her head in her arms.

The guard outside who didn't hear anything curiously peeked through the crack in the door -

No matter how strong a woman is, if she is locked in a dark room and denied food and water, she will be afraid. I guess she cried? The Concubine Shu must be very happy.

But what they didn't see was that Qin Xin took out a piece of sweet cake from her sleeve pocket with her other hand...

Burying his head in eating secretly.

System: When did you hide?

She didn't take it out when His Majesty was in trouble.

Qin Xin's cheeks were puffy, and a piece of sweet cake could barely fill her teeth, but was far from enough to fill her stomach.

She licked the powder on her lips and replied: I got it on the carriage.

Yes, there was no time to take it out when he was stabbed, so he just took this piece with him. When he woke up, Gu Fei had grilled the fish, so there was naturally no need to take it out.

Then she got used to carrying this small bag and never forgot to put it on even when changing clothes. Now I think that God must have given her a sixth sense to save her life!

The weather was cold, and the snacks were not bad, but they were a little hard and choked. Qin Xin choked and coughed, and her eyes turned slightly red as she coughed.

Gu Fei, please don’t die. If he dies…

"Then I won't be a widow for him."

If you can run, you will never wait for his seat.

"It seems that I have been worrying about you for nothing. You still have the energy to curse me."

The door opened and a man came in with light... Oh, no, it was dark, and it was the palace servant behind him who held the lamp.

Qin Xin blinked her eyes, and when she saw Gu Fei alive, she pursed her lips again and again.

When the man came to the couch alone, she whispered, "That's great."

This was the first time she wished her boss was still alive.

"Cough, cough."

Gu Fei's face didn't look good and he looked very weak. He turned his face away and coughed twice.

When he turned around again, he saw Qin Xin turning her face to face him.

"?"

Qin Xin winked and stretched out her intact hand...

"Suffering."

Gu Fei held her, showing an understanding look of "I understand", and then picked her up sideways.

Qin Xin's mouth twitched: "..." What is this for!

For fear of falling, Qin Xin instinctively used her intact hand to tightly hold Gu Fei's neck.

Gu Fei's eyes fell on the scar on Qin Xin's forehead, and then he understood her look just now.

He pinched her cheek in an angry and amused manner: "Qin Xin, I will protect you."

So she complained to him.

Qin Xin was stunned. The other party had a smile on his face, but his words were serious.

This was the first time in this world that someone said... that they would protect her.

"Well, you better come down. I can't carry you."

As soon as Gu Fei woke up, he asked about Qin Xin's whereabouts. He hurriedly got out of bed and rushed over. He was still weak...

Well, he couldn't pretend even if he wanted to.

Qin Xin: “…” Not moved at all.

So, Gu Fei and Qin Xin supported each other and walked out.

The two injured men sympathized with each other, and Gu Fei stared at the wound on Qin Xin's forehead.

He paused and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Qin Xin touched her still deflated belly, and suddenly a tear fell down——

"Damn Liu Yanran, she won't give me food to eat!"

I thought the child was crying because he was suffering and wronged, but I didn't expect that he was crying because he was hungry.

Gu Fei held his forehead and shook his head in amusement, but in the next moment he raised his eyes and stared at the guards outside who were cowering with guilt.

"How dare you treat my queen with disrespect? Who gave you the courage?"

At this moment, Gu Fei was like a tyrant, with a murderous look on his face, as if he was about to draw his sword and chop someone down in the next moment.

Qin Xin was stunned for a moment, but saw the guards outside the door kneeling down tremblingly and began to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty is very clear-sighted. Yes, it was the order from the Concubine Shu... I dare not disobey!"

How could they know that His Majesty loved the new queen so much? The injury hadn't healed yet, and the assassination hadn't been investigated, so they rushed to support her...

If I had known this earlier, I would have pretended to obey Concubine Shu and secretly sent some food to the Queen!

The guard, filled with regret, kowtowed and begged for mercy. Gu Fei looked at the bloodstains on the ground and his eyes changed slightly.

Qin Xin knew that he had not yet adapted, so he squeezed his arm and said for him: "Your Majesty, every wrong has its perpetrator, so let's spare their lives this time."

Otherwise, Gu Fei might not be able to adapt to his new identity of having the power of life and death and have nightmares at night.

Gu Fei glanced at Qin Xin, who said cheerfully, "I'm hungry. Let's go back and eat first."

Hearing this, Gu Fei glanced at the two of them coldly: "Why don't you thank the queen for her mercy? Go and accept your punishment."

After saying this, Gu Fei took Qin Xin's hand and walked towards the bedroom while expressing his gratitude.

He had to adapt, become strong, and try his best to prevent his subordinates from starving or getting hurt under his nose.

Well, if she gets hurt... who will protect him?

Where Qin Xin couldn't see, Gu Fei's expression became colder and colder.

Liu Yanran.

She made Qin Xin injured and hungry, so he must fight with her.

(Qin Xin: How come… I’m responsible for taking the beatings, and he’s responsible for the palace fights?

System, come out, this script seems to be reversed.)
