After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

Chapter 012: Confrontation, Gu Fei will fight back

After the empress dowager sat down, she looked at Gu Fei, who had an expressionless face, with concern.

"How is your Majesty's injury?"

Qin Xin hid in the back and eavesdropped, her ears almost pressed against the wall. At first glance, it didn't sound like the Queen Mother was here to cause trouble?

Not sure, listen again.

Gu Fei turned his eyes slightly, glanced to the left, twitched the corners of his lips, and retracted his gaze.

"It's nothing serious—" Under the Queen Mother's gaze, Gu Fei trailed off, "but you need to rest."

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips twitched slightly, as if she had taken back the draft she had prepared and was writing it again.

Qin Xin covered her mouth and laughed secretly: As expected of Gu Fei, his words are always so silent and choking.

"It's good as long as it's OK."

The Queen Mother groaned, "Lest Yan Ran cry her heart out for you again."

"This concubine's intention sounds quite dangerous."

"..."

Gu Fei continued to talk to himself: "Then I'll let her rest for another month."

This time, the Queen Mother stood up immediately, her face darkening.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to be so disregarding of our relationship? Even if you don't like women, she is still your cousin who grew up with you. She may be a little spoiled, but you can just reprimand her. How can you confine her and hurt the reputation of the Liu family?"

The Queen Mother looked at Gu Fei with eyes filled with disappointment and accusation.

Gu Fei raised his hand and tapped his forehead. If it was Prince Chen...

It's time to get sick.

"Clang-"

So, Qin Xin heard the noise of "Desktop Cleaning Master" from inside, and thought that Gu Fei was performing again.

She patted her chest and said, Gu Fei, don't get caught.

Seeing that Gu Fei was sick again, the Queen Mother frowned and distanced herself from him.

"Your Majesty, have you stopped taking the medicine recently? It seems that this stubborn disease cannot be cured by the new queen..."

"Why did I get sick? Doesn't the Queen Mother know?"

Gu Fei sneered, his eyes turned red, then he blinked slightly and continued sarcastically.

"As for Liu Yanran, how does the Queen Mother want me to view her? If she is a concubine, then as a concubine in the harem, she is under the Queen's control. She is a concubine, and I am the king, so she should obey, follow the rules and control her temper.

But if she is a cousin, there is no love between siblings. I will tolerate her, but I will not love her, favor her, or give her an heir. But in this way, she does not have to listen to the queen, and will still be protected by the queen mother..."

"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother shouted at Gu Fei. She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty is tired. Take a good rest. I will come to visit you another day."

Gu Fei is forcing the Queen Mother. If he brings up the Liu family and their cousin status, then Concubine Shu’s future in the harem will be ruined!

If you go looking for trouble with the Emperor and Empress for Concubine Shu, it would be against etiquette.

The Queen Mother rubbed her forehead, feeling exhausted. Her illness had not been cured, but her mind seemed to have become clearer, and she knew how to threaten him in a different way.

"It's a good thing that Your Majesty likes the new queen, but you can't favor one over the other. And if you need to rest, her staying for a long time will disturb you. After you rest in Fengqi Palace, let the queen move there."

Perhaps because she couldn't get any explanation from Liu Yanran, she was afraid that it would backfire, but she was still angry, so the empress dowager did not forget to fight back before she left.

"Let's talk about that later. The love between the Emperor and Empress is a blessing for the Chen Kingdom. For the sake of the country, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little."

"...Then follow your majesty!"

Qin Xin listened to the Queen Mother's final angry cry and couldn't help but admire Gu Fei's courage.

Prince Chen is violent, but he is not as useful as Gu Fei's invulnerable skin.

This mouth is really full of arsenic.

"Everyone has gone far away, why are you still eavesdropping?"

Gu Fei sat down, looking at the mess on the floor, and didn't call anyone in. He just raised his voice to the people in the inner room.

Hearing this, the dog moved secretly... cough, the brave and careful Qin Xin came out.

She walked over the debris on the ground and came to Gu Fei's side.

"If you are so tough with the Queen Mother, what should I do if the relationship between me and her becomes even more strained?"

The Queen Mother could do nothing with her own son, but she could vent her anger on her unrelated daughter-in-law.

"If I don't force you to be friendly with me?"

"..."

What’s going on? Is this guy a nitpicker?

Perhaps seeing Qin Xin choked, Gu Fei changed the subject.

"As far as I can remember, the mother and son had such a tense relationship because of Concubine Shu. Your presence only stopped Concubine Shu from becoming a concubine and completely intensified the conflict."

But neither Prince Chen nor Gu Fei himself wanted to be manipulated by the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu.

Qin Xin was slightly stunned: "She loves Liu Yanran so much, why did she agree to my marriage?"

Isn't this contradictory?

Gu Fei's expression became unpredictable, and he shook his head after a long while.

"How come she agreed to it?"

Clearly, King Chen was cutting off the source of the problem.

Seeing his unfathomable expression, Qin Xin's eyes lit up slightly, and she guessed about 70% of the answer in an instant.

"What kind of person is the Queen Mother? It is said that there is no affection in the royal family, but she treats her niece better than her own son."

"That's unknown." Gu Fei stretched out his hand to drink a cup of tea, but found nothing. Then he remembered that the tea sets were on the ground.

He coughed, reached out and patted Qin Xin's head: "Queen, pour a glass of water for your Majesty."

Qin Xin glared at him: "Don't you have arms?"

Gu Fei coughed deliberately: "My hand is resting."

"..."

"After tea, I want to discuss something with you."

Qin Xin narrowed his eyes. This guy really knows how to order people around.

……

Shen Ji looked at the majestic and arrogant King Chen who was sitting on the throne, bowed slightly, said nothing, and just looked at Qin Xin who was standing beside King Chen.

"General Shen, in order to clear the suspicion of the assassin and my family's entourage, I still need your help."

Shen Ji immediately said, "Queen, please speak."

Gu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly. This young General Shen is actually... pretty nice to Qin Xin?

Qin Xin looked at Gu Fei, and seeing that he seemed distracted, she quietly kicked him.

"I'm sorry to bother General Shen. After all, if this matter is not thoroughly investigated, it will implicate many people. Your return to Yu Country will also be hindered."

Shen Ji looked at the man above who was releasing the pressure and responded calmly.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to threaten me. Shen Ji knows the pros and cons. If you need Shen Ji, feel free to speak up."

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Ji left Longyuan Palace in great anger.

"It's so deceiving!"

He clenched his fist and left angrily.

The palace servants waiting outside the hall looked at each other in confusion. One of them thought for a moment and then quietly left the group.

Inside the palace.

"Is he reliable?"

Qin Xin calmly spat out the melon seed shells: "Of course."

When she wanted to see the tragic ending of "Gu Fei", she also did not forget to pay attention to the handsome paper man created by the author.

Among them, Shen Ji was mentioned, a young heroic general who was upright and infatuated.

Gu Fei did not comment, but reached out to pick up the list on the table and handed it to Qin Xin.

"Prince Chen has many spies around him. I guessed that they are the spies of Longyuan Palace. Find a reason to get them out."

"Why let me come?"

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take care of it for you."

It was also a good opportunity for her to show off her power as the queen. It was not enough to rely on him to establish his authority, she also had to make an example of him.

"Okay, what about you?"

Qin Xin looked at the name on the list and her eyes twitched. Was this person just snooping around in the palace? Why did he even pick out the eunuchs who were sweeping the floor...

"Prince Chen still has capable people under his command." Seeing through Qin Xin's thoughts at a glance, Gu Fei was speechless and explained.

"Oh."

That’s right, there are many people around the tyrant who want to harm him, but he must also have his confidants, otherwise he would have died eight hundred times already.

Gu Fei stood up and stretched.

"The king has been assassinated. What a great opportunity to make use of this. Qin Xin, on the days when we are not in court, how about we play a game?"

Qin Xin saw him lying down and reading a book again, thinking that the capitalist had not changed his face, but she still followed his words and asked curiously -

"what game?"

"Xiao Xiao Le."

"?"

"Let's play the game of elimination of spies and see who can catch more spies accurately."

“……”What a sloppy metaphor.

(Qin Xin: I will play a single "6" on my side.)
