After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot
Chapter 212: Coaxing, adjusting the plan
The severe pain he imagined did not come.
Qin Ruzhu recovered from her heart-wrenching fear, slowly put down her hand, and raised her eyes cautiously.
She didn't see General Liu, who had a ferocious face and was holding a sword to kill her, but Xu Changming, who had a stern face but a gentle look in his eyes.
He reached out his hand to help her up.
Qin Ruzhu subconsciously shook her body and shrank back, obviously afraid of Xu Changming.
But the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Changming was filled with obvious disgust.
It was Xu Changming who turned her into a homeless traitor. She had only spent two days with him at most, and the little bit of excitement she had felt was worn away by his betrayal in front of the city gate.
Seeing Qin Ruzhu looking at him like a wounded little animal, aggrieved but wary, Xu Changming's eyes flashed for some reason.
I actually felt that besides being spoiled and naive, she finally had a lively temper.
Fortunately, she is only one-tenth of that savage woman Qin Xin, so she is still lovable.
Xu Changming, who had regained his confidence, now had the urge to play with the little pet.
He squatted down slowly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"Still angry?"
As he spoke, the base of his left hand, which had been slightly cut by General Liu's sword, was exposed to Qin Ruzhu.
Blood dripped from the tiger's mouth onto the grass.
Qin Ruzhu's eyes trembled subconsciously.
But she just bit her lip and didn't respond.
She heard it.
He was not the cold-faced but warm-hearted prince of Hui State that she had imagined. He was not a soft-hearted and kind person at all...
He is so bad.
It was clearly the Yu Kingdom that he wanted to attack, but he pushed everything onto the deceased Xu Changde and the eldest prince of Hui Kingdom, trying to kill with a borrowed knife and cover up his crimes.
He also wanted to kill the generals who were bewitched by him and accompanied him.
She foolishly believed that this man was a good person who would help her through the difficulties of the Jade Country and protect her...
Qin Ruzhu bit her lips so hard that they almost broke.
Xu Changming couldn't bear to see this delicate flower torturing herself, so he frowned, stretched out his thumb and pressed it between her lips and teeth.
"Stop biting."
He said quietly.
"Come to me if you're angry, don't hurt yourself."
Xu Changming's words made Qin Ruzhu even more confused.
At this point, what value did she still have? Was it worth him getting hurt by taking the sword for her, and worrying about her biting herself?
The concern in Xu Changming's eyes was not fake.
However, when he looked at Qin Ruzhu at this moment, apart from the special feelings he had for her, he just wanted to make up for the fact that his mother was like her.
His mother is gone, and he has no way to make up for her suffering, but he can still protect Qin Ruzhu, who is as simple and weak as his mother.
Qin Ruzhu bit Xu Changming's finger hard.
Leaving a row of teeth marks.
She cried after biting it.
Covering his face, he felt pain and confusion.
"Please let me go... I want to go back to the Jade Palace. I miss my mother and Aunt Zhang."
From childhood to adulthood, Qin Ruzhu had rarely left Queen Jade's side. This was the first time she was so far away from home, and she was really scared.
She knew she was wrong and shouldn't have trusted others so easily. Her father could punish her in any way he wanted, but he just shouldn't stop her from returning to the palace.
At this time, Qin Ruzhu still naively believed that her mother was the mother of a country and would not punish her severely for her mistake of credulity, and would help her solve this problem. As long as she went back, she would still be the noble little princess.
When Xu Changming heard what she said, his eyes darkened.
This excessive naivety really made him want to protect and ridicule her at the same time——
Wake up! Your father is a coward and selfish man. How can he forgive your sins? You are now a traitor to the country. Your mother and your concubines will all be implicated and convicted...
But when he saw Qin Ruzhu collapsed at this moment, he softened his heart and did not say it.
The truth is always cruel and bloody. She can't bear it, so he will hide it for her.
"You come back to Hui Country with me first. Once this storm is over and your father's anger has subsided, I will send you back."
Xu Changming reached out and held Qin Ruzhu's arm.
His deep eyes stared at her intently.
"I won't hurt you. I've never lied to you about this."
Qin Ruzhu moved her eyes downwards and saw Xu Changming's bloody left hand. She couldn't help biting her lower lip.
She didn't know what to do anymore, but since she was unfamiliar with the place and couldn't protect herself, it seemed that she could only rely on him now.
After a while, Qin Ruzhu nodded slightly.
It was agreed.
Xu Changming smiled and touched her ear with his clean hand.
"Stay with me, I will protect you."
Qin Ruzhu said nothing.
Then he was taken back by Xu Changming's men.
As soon as she left, Xu Changming took out a handkerchief and bandaged the wound on his left hand.
"master."
Behind him, a secret guard appeared silently and knelt on one knee.
"explain."
"We received a report that the Jade King and the Jade Queen killed each other. Now, the fifth princess Qin Jiao ascended the throne, and the Shen family father and son assisted her."
"hiss--"
The knot of the handkerchief suddenly tightened because of the involuntary force of his right hand. Xu Changming took a deep breath, not knowing whether he was more in pain or more shocked.
His brows were deeply furrowed into a groove.
Whether the Jade King and his wife live or die has little to do with him.
There is even less threat. The sons of Prince Jade are either useless or too young to amount to anything.
but……
"You just said, who ascended the throne?"
Xu Changming rarely showed such a shocked expression. He turned around and asked with his pupils trembling.
"The fifth princess of the Jade Kingdom, Qin Jiao."
The secret guards who received the letter via carrier pigeon were also shocked at first. It was bad enough that the emperor and empress of a country killed each other and ended up in such a hasty manner, but what was even more ridiculous was that a princess was allowed to ascend the throne!
This is assuming that the prince is not dead.
But he confirmed again and again that it was indeed the Fifth Princess Qin Jiao, who was used as a pawn by them, who became the new king of Yu Kingdom.
Xu Changming felt his vision go dark.
Veins popped out on his forehead.
It doesn't matter who ascends the throne, but why did it have to be Qin Jiao, who they had offended to death? And Qin Jiao, who had a good relationship with Qin Xin...
Yes, it must be Gu Fei!
He must have instigated it.
"What a great King Chen is! He is so wise, cunning and calculating!"
I didn't expect that Gu Fei would come up with such a brilliant idea to win over the Yu Kingdom.
He successfully instigated such a ridiculous thing as a woman becoming an emperor.
Xu Changming was so angry that his breathing became uneven.
In this case, Shen Ji, who hated him so much and wanted to deprive Qin Jiao, a woman, of her throne, would definitely go to war with Hui State and him.
Xu Changming slowly clenched his hand into a fist, and the handkerchief was soon stained with blood oozing from the gaping wound.
"Don't let Qin Ruzhu know about this, do you hear me?"
If Qin Ruzhu knew that her father, the king, and her mother were dead and her fifth sister had ascended the throne, she would definitely collapse and make a scene.
But he didn't have the energy to coax her now.
He had to adjust his plans...
"Pass the order and set off. Return to the palace without stopping."
"Yes!"
……
"I'll go as well."
Qin Xin woke up and heard the conversation between Gu Fei and Sui Shou outside. He said that he would lead the troops to intercept He Cong and his group personally, and asked Sui Shou to stay behind to protect her.
Unable to hold back, he stepped out from behind the screen and spoke calmly.
Her eyes were bright and she was obviously well rested.
Meeting Gu Fei's concerned eyes, she spoke calmly and softly.
"Please, give me a chance to prove my innocence."
Gu Fei stared at her for a while before nodding helplessly.
"it is good."
