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

The stabbing incident on the way to the emperor and empress's mausoleum was eventually reported to the court officials.

His Majesty was concentrating on recuperating and did not go out, so there was no way to bring up this matter unless he attended court. So Gu Fei only rested for three days, and the memorials on his desk were piled up.

Gu Fei asked Qin Xin to read it to him and then he would comment on it.

Someone impeached Yuguo for having ulterior motives, otherwise why would he be assassinated when he took the queen out?

Qin Xin finished reading it with great emotion, as if she was not the one being impeached.

Gu Fei clicked his tongue and commented quickly.

——If I feel sick when I eat with you next time, it must be you, an old bastard, who poisoned me.

Qin Xin on the side widened her eyes: I have read it and replied randomly.

She also picked out a document to impeach him for being seduced by beauty and not attending court early every day.

Qin Xin touched her face and said, "Well, I am quite beautiful."

Gu Fei glanced at her: "You are flattering me too much."

Then, under Qin Xin's fist, he silently changed his words: "The queen is beautiful and reserved."

At the same time, he quickly picked up the pen and said: This is my first wedding, please be patient.

Qin Xin: “…”

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he couldn't help wondering: "Is the King Chen's words so... mean?"

Gu Fei quickly reviewed all the other similar memorials, and then Qin Xin discovered——

He only responded to those who impeached her, and for everything else, he still followed the style of the King Chen who was frugal with words and arbitrary.

Well, this is exactly like being hit in the sore spot. Guy, don't get too involved in the drama.

"Gao, I believe that His Majesty loves me deeply."

"Then you better keep your eyes open and don't easily believe a man's lies."

Qin Xin twitched his forehead and snorted.

"Finally, you said something human."

After reviewing the memorial, Gu Fei was not idle either. He asked about the progress of the assassination.

"Has the word gotten out?"

"Don't worry, I promise that everything we need to know will be known inside and outside the palace."

Qin Xin touched the golden dragon carved on the chair where Gu Fei was sitting, silently calculating its value.

At this time, the sharp voice of Xu Zongguan came from outside -

"Your Majesty and the Empress are inside... Lord Zhu, Lord Ge, please wait... Your Majesty! Lord Zhu requests to see you!"

"Your Majesty! This old minister requests an audience!"

Inside the hall, Gu Fei glanced at Qin Xin and without even saying a word, the latter slipped away.

"..."

Her character remains intact.

The two gentlemen - Censor Zhu, who is keen on impeaching the emperor; and Lord Ge, who is in charge of the Ministry of Justice and is as stubborn as a donkey.

Gu Fei pinched his forehead. These two people didn't care how difficult it was to serve the tyrant. They claimed that they would not care about life or death for the sake of the country...

In other words, a tough guy who is not afraid of death and is willing to confront the king head-on.

His injuries haven't fully healed yet, but he has to deal with bosses one after another.

Gu Fei coughed, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and when he opened his eyes again, he had that cold, arrogant and crazy look on his face, as if there were ice in his eyes and he would not change even if the earth and mountains collapsed.

"Let them in."

Picking up a memorial and placing it in front of him, Gu Fei gave instructions in a deep voice.

Two old men, one tall and one short, bumped into each other at the door, glared at each other, snorted, turned their heads away, and then quickly walked forward.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Well, it works quite well together.

Gu Fei had a blank expression on his face: "To make a long story short, come one by one."

The king had "I don't want to hear any nonsense" written on his face. After the two ministers looked at each other, it was still Zhu Yushi who spoke first.

"Your Majesty is recovering from his injuries and cannot attend the morning court. I shouldn't have disturbed you, but there have been constant rumors in the palace in recent days, all of which are related to the Queen.

Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and you should not indulge in beauty or be entangled by the harem!"

Gu Fei habitually bent his fingers and tapped the table, then laughed coldly.

"Is Zhu Yushi just coming from Shoukang Palace?"

Censor Zhu, full of his "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, risking his life to offer advice", choked and looked up in a daze at the unfathomable emperor.

"The oleander on my shoulder is blooming nicely."

There is a patch of oleander planted on the right side outside Shoukang Palace, which has been blooming luxuriantly recently.

As everyone knows, His Majesty does not like flowers, so Longyuan Palace is filled with only plants and trees.

Censor Zhu shifted his gaze and saw a patch of oleander on his left shoulder, and his eyelids twitched immediately.

Your Majesty is really...sharp-eyed.

His arrogance suddenly faded a little, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "Yes, the Queen Mother is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and His Majesty only favors the Queen and cannot bear to restrict her, so this old minister has no choice but to ask the Queen Mother for instructions first..."

Haha, Gu Fei twitched his thin lips slightly, and the coldness in his eyes deepened.

"Why, as a subject, you not only want to control my harem, but also want the queen mother to suppress me?"

Gu Fei stood up and slammed the table, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

"As a role model for censors, Censor Zhu has reminded me. The Queen Mother likes quietness, but the harem cannot be without a master. The Queen is the mother of the country, and the Phoenix Seal should be handed over to the Queen."

In the inner room, Qin Xin opened her mouth silently: No, brother, do you really want to tire me to death? Being a bodyguard and a housekeeper, you think it's a good idea!

System: I want the Phoenix Seal! With the Phoenix Seal, you will be the master of the harem, and no one will bully you anymore - Qin Xin, in the palace, power is your amulet.

Qin Xin: ...You get into the role faster than I do.

This is the beginning of the process of seizing power.

System: I am thinking about you.

Qin Xin ignored it and continued to eavesdrop.

"Your Majesty, this is not what I meant..." Censor Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The queen has just arrived in Chen State, and her status... makes it difficult for her to take on this important task at this time."

"Are you more capable of this task than the queen?" Gu Fei said aggressively, "Censor Zhu, you are really too lenient! If I don't marry, you will impeach me. If I marry, you will still impeach me—

Otherwise, I will give you the Phoenix Seal and the throne!"

It was rare to see His Majesty argue so much when he was angry. Censor Zhu was so shocked by the terrifying words that he couldn't even straighten his back and immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, be careful with your words! I would never dare to do that!"

The Queen Mother said that His Majesty now loves the Queen and advised him to avoid bad luck. Censor Zhu didn't believe it at first, but now it seems... it's true!

But as an imperial censor, he was only advising His Majesty on his words and deeds and could not commit a serious crime.

Zhu Yushi lost his temper. Qin Xin silently gave a thumbs up. Gu Fei was really good at putting accusations on others. It was much more useful than being furious.

"Since you are an old minister, I will not pursue the matter for now. The harmony between the Emperor and Empress is a blessing for the world. It is also beneficial to the country as calculated by the Imperial Master, and it is also beneficial to the alliance between the two countries - don't be short-sighted."

After Gu Fei finished speaking, Censor Zhu was stunned for a long time. After a while, his face turned red and he left in shame under the gloating gaze of Lord Ge.

"Lord Ge, have you found out who is behind the assassin?"

Before Censor Zhu had gone far, Gu Fei hurried to ask another person.

Zhu Yushi, who walked to the door in shame, wanted to come back to listen to the inside story, but he thought about it and was kicked out by His Majesty. It is not appropriate to offend him again...

I had to suppress my curiosity and leave the palace first.

When Lord Ge reached the palace gate, he saw Censor Zhu coming out from behind a stone lion, seemingly waiting for him.

"Your Majesty's assassination is a serious matter. How is the assassin's case going?"

When Censor Zhu pressed for clues to the case, Lord Ge simply snorted.

"Don't worry about that, Master Censor. There is no prisoner in our prison that cannot be pried open. As long as the assassin is still alive, I will investigate it thoroughly."

Ge Weili, this bastard! Censor Zhu's face darkened, and he watched Lord Ge leave, and spat in exasperation.

He is just being mysterious. He is so arrogant even before catching the mastermind behind the scenes. He wants to see how powerful the Ministry of Justice is!

The commotion between Censor Zhu and Lord Ge did allow some news to leak out.

Anyone with some information knows that His Majesty has done something great this time quietly, capturing the assassin alive and finding clues, but he has kept it a secret.

But what kind of person is behind the scenes that would make His Majesty, who has always been flamboyant and ruthless, choose to investigate secretly?

Many people were curious and inquired about the situation, but the Ministry of Justice was very tight-lipped and they sent more people to guard the prison. For a time, people were in a panic.

That night, Ministry of Justice.

The prison is heavily guarded inside and outside.

Soon, a shadow fluttered, a gust of wind blew, smoke floated by, and the jailer fell silently.

Several well-trained men in black cut the chain of the prison door with knives and stabbed at the man in prison clothes who was sitting against the wall on a pile of blood-stained grass...

"Crack!"
