In His Majesty's bedroom.

Qin Xin buried her head in eating. In front of her was an extremely rich feast.

Opposite her, Gu Fei, who had no appetite, was sitting there picking up food for her in front of the palace servants.

The palace maid's look of shock suddenly subsided, and then she lowered her head and thought: Is the queen really favored?

Your Majesty's look... is really scary.

In the past, when I saw hungry wolves tearing each other apart, I would be so... kind.

Qin Xin's appetite was affected a little by being stared at like that, and she gave Gu Fei a sticky smile.

"Your Majesty, I am not used to having so many people serve me... Can we let them all go?"

Gu Fei's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and he tried to maintain a "doting" smile and nodded at her.

"Well - everyone, please retreat."

The palace servants breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did the queen dislike them, they also disliked the weird atmosphere. His Majesty's familiar and cold words made them feel at ease.

"Okay, thank you very much. Starting tomorrow morning, the entire Longyuan Palace will respect me."

Putting down her chopsticks, Qin Xin sighed with satisfaction, interrupting Gu Fei's corny acting in time.

Gu Fei immediately put away his tenderness and sweetness.

"Stay well in Longyuan Palace."

Seeing him getting up to go out, Qin Xin hurriedly stood up.

"Where?"

"Palace fighting."

"..."

"Go to sleep first—remember to apply the medicine."

"No, brother, your injury hasn't healed yet!"

"No problem."

Let's do the math. This little bit of his health is enough.

Qin Xin held her forehead with her hand: "It's better if you are both naive and in love."

Her worries disappeared in an instant.

"He is the ruler of a country. As long as he has a breath left, he can kill everyone. I have nothing to worry about."

Qin Xin put her heart back in her stomach, ate and drank her fill, then turned and went into the inner palace bedroom. After a simple wash, she lay down on her exclusive couch.

In Jinyue Palace, everyone couldn't sleep at this time.

His Majesty arrived late at night. If it were usual, everyone in Jinyue Palace would have decorated the palace with lanterns and run around to tell others about the reward money...

But if His Majesty comes at this time, he can only come to ask the Queen to punish him.

Liu Yanran left in the evening because her palace servants got the news from Longyuan Palace and knew that Gu Fei had woken up. They were afraid of being caught, so they left in a hurry.

But she didn't want her to go to Longyuan Palace and find nothing, and His Majesty went to save that woman as soon as he woke up!

After she returned to Jinyue Palace, she was restless and even invited the empress dowager's maid to come over in case she was confused when summoned.

When it was time to go to bed, there was no news of His Majesty. Liu Yanran felt strange and relieved. Just as she was about to fall into a drowsy sleep...

The palace maid announced that His Majesty had come in person!

Liu Yanran was so frightened that she lost all her sleepiness. When she saw Gu Fei, whom she had been thinking about for the first time, she lost her excitement.

"Your Majesty, I greet you. Your Majesty... Why are you here so late at night?"

Liu Yanran looks like the empress dowager, bright and beautiful. She has changed her arrogant attitude in front of others. Her nervous and helpless look easily makes people feel pity for her.

She used to raise her little face slightly like this, using her appearance similar to her aunt's, to win King Chen's forgiveness.

But Gu Fei didn't buy it.

He looked down at Prince Chen's cousin who was pretending to be pitiful.

"Did you inflict the wound on the queen's face?"

"No... Your Majesty, don't listen to that woman's one-sided words..."

Concubine Shu's face turned pale. It was just a scratch, and he came to blame her in person?

What's so good about Qin Xin that she's being so protective right after getting married...

"She didn't say anything."

Oh, no, she said she was not given any food.

Gu Fei glanced coldly at the palace servants behind Liu Yanran, and when he saw Madam Zhao, his tone was cold and fierce -

"Shu Fei, you are used to being flamboyant, and you do evil things under the banner of your mother. I tolerate you because of filial piety, not because of you."

Nanny Zhao immediately lowered her eyes and took back the steps she had taken to plead for mercy.

Your Majesty, when you say this, if she comes forward in the name of the Queen Mother, the relationship between mother and son may become even more strained.

Liu Yanran rarely heard Gu Fei say such a long sentence to her...

But it’s better not to listen to this.

He actually didn't give her face in public! He has such a cold heart...

"Cousin...cousin, I know I was wrong. Yan Ran just cared too much about you. Then...the queen is a suspect. Yan Ran took her anger out on you and took action. Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry."

Gu Fei stretched out his hand, wanting to pinch people's chins like King Chen, but he paused for a moment, then took out a handkerchief and pinched Liu Yanran's chin through the handkerchief, forcing her to look up at him.

Liu Yanran exerted force on his finger bones, feeling pain and frowning.

Meeting the man's cold and murderous gaze, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I only deal with people who make me angry, understand?"

As soon as he withdrew his hand, Liu Yanran lost her balance and fell to the ground, her shoulders trembling, fear and resentment enveloping her.

"no next time."

Gu Fei glanced at the palace maids in Jinyue Palace with intimidation in his eyes.

"If anyone in Jinyue Palace dares to disrespect the queen again, I will kill them without mercy."

After saying those harsh words, Gu Fei started coughing again, and the steward behind him immediately stepped forward to support him.

"The concubine Shu will be confined for a month to serve as a warning to others."

"His Majesty!"

Liu Yanran came back to her senses and stared in disbelief. No matter how ruthless His Majesty was, he would not be so ruthless.

But now he not only banned her from leaving, but also established Qin Xin's authority and intimidated the entire Jinyue Palace...

"You can't do this to me!"

He was really crazy, and Qin Xin had cast a spell on him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and stop shouting. His Majesty... has already left."

The palace maid helped Liu Yanran up and persuaded her carefully.

"Get out! All of you get out! Are you all just laughing at me?" Liu Yanran slapped the maid, then angrily scolded her, "His Majesty protects her, so you guys are going to follow her lead in the future? Don't even think about it!"

Nanny Zhao sighed and waved her hand to signal the palace maids to leave. She stayed behind to persuade Concubine Shu alone.

Your Majesty is obviously serious this time. If the Queen continues to make such a fuss, I'm afraid Your Majesty will not even give face to the Queen Mother.

After leaving Jinyue Palace, Gu Fei clenched his fingers slightly and his palms were sweaty.

I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief - this tyrant is really hard to play.

When Gu Fei returned, Qin Xin had already fallen asleep.

He glanced at her forehead and the medicine bottle next to her, shook his head, and sat aside helplessly to apply the medicine for her.

Lying on the spacious dragon bed, he turned sideways and looked at the person sleeping on the couch—

He slept very soundly, probably because he was tired.

When the man fell asleep with even breathing, Qin Xin opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear and bright. How could she be sleepy?

She raised her hand and gently touched the corner of her forehead where the medicine had been applied with her fingertips. The corners of her lips curved up, then she turned over in her arms, hugged the quilt, and went to sleep.

Have a good night's sleep until the day dawns.

On the couch, there was a small table between the two of them, with snacks, fruits, and...

Homemade playing cards.

There are only two of us, so we can only play "Pull the Turtle".

Qin Xin took a wooden card from Gu Fei's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and then calmly put the two identical cards into the pile on the side.

"I've noticed that you, the king, rarely attend court early in the morning."

First it was to build momentum for her, then to go on a long journey, and now to recuperate...

Good man, you won’t become addicted to resigning and be regarded as a tyrant and destroyed in the future, right?

Gu Fei raised his eyebrows: "Why are you panicking? Not moving is the right way to move."

Qin Xin pouted: "Speak human language."

"I'm in Longyuan Palace, but I haven't neglected the investigation of the assassin. Besides, don't think I'm idle now, I'll be busy later."

Before Qin Xin could ask "Have you found out anything about the assassin?" and "What are you busy with?", the young eunuch came hurriedly and saluted behind the screen.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."

Gu Fei's smile faded, and he said softly, "Here, let me be busy."

Qin Xin immediately put away the cards. Gu Fei was startled and focused his eyes——

"You hit the bomb."

No wonder it was collected so quickly.

"You are dazzled!"

"..."

"Your mother is here, why don't you take it?"

Qin Xin said, and stood up quickly. Then he turned around and smiled——

"Your Majesty, I am still not feeling well. I will take a break first... I will recover first."

Gu Fei: "..."

For whom did he offend the Queen Mother?

This heartless person runs away when he sees trouble!
