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

After what happened to Qin Xin in Shoukang Palace, the empress dowager didn't want to see Qin Xin's "stupid woman" face for the next few days.

Qin Xin then spent a few more days in peace.

But it wasn't so easy for Gu Fei.

He sighed, his shoulders drooped a little, and looking at Qin Xin who was still sleeping on the couch, he suddenly felt a little unbalanced.

"Is it necessary to go to this court?"

I really want to take a rest, who understands?

Qin Xin rolled up the quilt, closed her eyes and began to gloat: "Don't you like going to court very much? Go on."

Then play music and dance.

Seeing Qin Xin so leisurely, Gu Fei was unwilling to accept it, so he said: "After the court session, accompany me to the Heavenly Prison."

Hmm? Prison?

When Qin Xin heard these key words, he sat up.

No sleepiness at all.

"Are there any new clues? Or do we need to open a new instance?"

Pingyang Hou was sentenced to be executed in a month. When he went to Tianlao now, he knew there was some new discovery.

Seeing how serious she was, Gu Fei felt relieved.

His tone was gentle: "You'll know only if you ask."

Fearing that Qin Xin might have wild thoughts, Gu Fei explained, "The matter of Marquis Pingyang may not be that simple, but we are following the progress of the book and have only just started. It should not be so easy to get to the truth so quickly."

At this point, Qin Xin wanted to drag out the system that was in endless rot and whip its corpse.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. OK, I'll go with you."

"Well, after going to the prison, you still need to go to the Liu family with me."

ha?

Qin Xin got off the ground directly. She tilted her head and asked, "Why are there so many tasks?"

She finally had two days of free time. Was it also necessary to be so lazy in ancient times?

Gu Fei felt a little bit reluctant for a moment... He was really seeing a ghost, how could he not have mercy on this heartless guy?

He paused, then said, "Well, Prince Chen's uncle is ill, but the Queen Mother has no time to visit him, and Concubine Shu is under house arrest... It's reasonable for us to go and see him."

In this way, the Empress Dowager will not have an excuse to lift the confinement order on Concubine Shu.

Besides, in Prince Chen’s memory, this uncle was very kind to him before he fell ill, and he was one of the few warm memories in Prince Chen’s childhood.

Now that I'm out of the capital, I can take Qin Xin to visit Kyoto.

Of course, he didn't tell her this, in case she only thought about going out to play.

Furthermore, in her eyes, he was just her former boss who was unscrupulous and black-hearted. Wasn't his compassion for her the equivalent of flirting with a blind man?

"it is good."

When Qin Xin heard that she could leave the palace, she agreed.

Staying in the palace all the time will make even a good person feel suffocated.

After explaining everything to Qin Xin, Gu Fei went to court. He seemed to be in high spirits.

Probably an illusion.

There is nothing important to do at the morning court today, except that the Jade Kingdom's wedding entourage is about to return, and arrangements need to be made to show respect to the Jade Kingdom.

Gu Fei handed the matter over to the Ministry of Rites.

Then he briefly commented on the ministers' memorials and adjourned the court in a relaxed manner.

"Your Majesty has been very active in handling government affairs recently..."

“That’s quite accurate.”

"Hmm... you feel happy when something good happens? You used to be so serious, but now you at least smile a little?"

"..."

As expected, even emperors are not immune to this.

Because she was going out, Qin Xin changed into a light outfit, which was simple, fresh and convenient for movement.

The long skirt that drags on the ground is really a nuisance. If we have a fight, it will be a burden.

She was wearing a light yellow dress with a cross collar and a front button, and had her hair done in a bun. She was playing with a sword in her hand, which made the palace maids tremble with fear.

Gu Fei paused and admired it for a moment. Hmm, it's quite pleasing to the eye.

When he got closer, he didn't smell the strong fragrance on Concubine Shu's body. He nodded again and said, "Well, it's still fresh and clean."

"Let's go to the prison first."

After getting on the carriage, the two men in plain clothes looked young and neat.

If you don’t know, you might think he was going on an incognito visit. Who would have known that he was going to the prison cell to see the prisoners?

The prison was as strict as Qin Xin had imagined, or even stricter.

She touched her arm and had the illusion that she had walked into an air-conditioned room. It was chilly.

He tripped and stepped into a small pit, and subconsciously pushed his hand forward to support Gu Fei's back - but to avoid hitting him with his chest.

This is an unexpected event. Thank you for the invitation, but I will decline.

"Be careful when you walk."

Gu Fei slowed down his pace, waited for her to stop, and reminded her.

When they reached the corner, the cell where Pingyang Hou was imprisoned, the smell of blood made Gu Fei frown.

He turned around and held Qin Xin's shoulders first - to prevent her from falling into his arms.

Then he said, "Why don't you wait outside? It's a bit bloody in there."

The Tianlao Prison held serious criminals, and they had probably used torture before, so they were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable seeing it.

Gu Fei still has such a kind heart? Qin Xin's eyes widened in surprise.

He nodded hesitantly and said nothing.

So Gu Fei took General Chen in alone.

only……

Qin Xin counted to three on his fingers, and someone came back at the fastest speed.

His handsome face turned pale and he kept retching.

Qin Xin exclaimed: "..."

His face was filled with disgust.

She knew that this useless guy would not be able to bear it.

But after meeting General Chen's surprised eyes, Qin Xin immediately held Gu Fei's arm.

"Your Majesty, you are right. I am afraid to go in alone. I'd better go in with you."

It’s a good job of picking up the character of a bloodthirsty tyrant for a guy who was almost exposed.

Gu Fei suppressed the churning in his stomach and looked at Qin Xin with eyes that said, "Why don't you go in? I'll wait for you outside."

Obviously, impossible.

Qin Xin held his hand with her backhand and smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, hold your hand, and I won't be afraid."

Gu Fei: "..."

Even if he was held by the hand, he would be afraid.

But he still gritted his teeth and went in with Qin Xin.

When Qin Xin saw the scene inside, she just frowned slightly but remained calm.

Not long after, they both came out together.

Outside the prison, someone breathed in the fresh air and sighed.

"Do you think I'm useless?"

I am used to peace and I am still a little afraid of bloody scenes.

Qin Xin nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Gu Fei: “…” It hurts.

But then I heard her say lightly: "For us who were born in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is normal to be useless in such a background."

"It's okay, Gu Fei, we will all grow up."

"Well...thank you for comforting me."

"No, what I mean is that if you don't grow, I will force you to grow."

"..."

Very good, this wave of comfort was very appropriate and he no longer feels uncomfortable.

"Let's go to Liu's house."

Although he didn't get any useful clues, Gu Fei still got the answer he wanted.

Liu Mansion.

"Greetings, greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty." When the servant saw the emperor and empress, he couldn't help but stutter and knelt down in panic.

"Well, take me to see the Duke."

Prince Chen's uncle Liu Qing was named Duke of Ningguo after the Queen Mother entered Fengqi Palace. He has been ill in recent years and has been idle at home.

The servant passed the message and the housekeeper hurried to meet him and lead the way.

Qin Xin looked around the Duke's Mansion curiously. It was elegant and very pleasant.

It's just a bit indescribably deserted.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

The sound of unstoppable coughing came from far away. Qin Xin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall and thin middle-aged handsome man, who was supported by a servant and slowly walked from the flower hall to the front hall.

Wow, it turns out that the nephew looks like his uncle. This uncle with a morbid beauty style is really good-looking.
