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

"I want to go out."

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that it is not safe outside, so you should just wait here for him to come back..."

"I'm not some girl! I'm the Princess of the Jade Kingdom! Get out of the way, I want to go out——"

Qin Ruzhu looked at the servant girl who was blocking her at the door, her face flushed with anxiety. She was trying to explain and was about to pass the two people when she heard a man's hoarse voice.

"Like a pearl."

Her body trembled, and when she looked up, her pupils shrank.

"What's wrong with you?"

Watching Xu Changming walking towards her tremblingly, his face as pale as a ghost, Qin Ruzhu bit her lower lip and asked in a nonchalant tone.

Xu Changming forced a smile at her and pretended to be strong.

"fine."

"How come you're alright? For you, my lady, His Majesty has severely punished Your Highness. That's ten lashes from the Imperial Court. If His Majesty hadn't asked Your Highness to assist in the administration of state affairs, I'm afraid it would have been even more severe..."

Xu Changming closed his eyes slightly, and the servants behind him quickly spoke up for him in order to win Qin Ruzhu's sympathy.

When he opened his eyes again, his tired face was filled with calmness.

He admonished the servant in a deep voice.

"That's enough. Shut up."

Looking at Qin Ruzhu again, her eyes flickered a few times before she loosened her clenched lips.

"What do you mean...being punished for me?"

She was still a simple girl, and at this moment she only wanted to find out the reason, without considering that this matter had nothing to do with her at all.

Xu Changming shook his head.

"Don't listen to him, it's okay, I can handle it."

"You...why don't you send me back to Jade Country first? It's been nearly a month since my father came back. I'm sure he's calmed down now. My mother must be worried sick."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changming stared at Qin Ruzhu for a while, then broke away from the servants' support, walked forward tremblingly, and stood in front of her.

"You... don't want to be with me?"

Qin Ruzhu was at a loss for words because of his sudden fragility and gentle question, but she thought of his deception and exploitation, and she extinguished the thought that had been ignited in her mind.

"I don't belong here, I want to go home."

She wants to return to her mother, the Queen Mother, because she is the only one who will not use her.

Xu Changming's eyes darkened, his body swayed, then he leaned forward and fell on Qin Ruzhu.

"His Royal Highness!"

"Xu Changming..."

The servants and Qin Ruzhu's exclamations overlapped.

Qin Ruzhu was knocked back slightly and stretched out her hands helplessly, not knowing whether she should hold Xu Changming's shoulders.

The attendant saw this and immediately said.

"Miss, why don't you help the prince into the house? I'm going to find a doctor!"

As he spoke, he lent a hand and helped the passive Qin Ruzhu into the house where Qin Ruzhu lived. Without waiting for Qin Ruzhu to react, the servant ran out.

"Hey--"

Qin Ruzhu looked at the man whose head was resting on her shoulder, then looked at the servant's figure that was almost a small black dot, and sighed helplessly.

Her face was hot, and she wanted to push him away, but she was afraid that Xu Changming would get hurt, so she had to help him back to her room with some difficulty...

After scanning the bed with a tangled gaze, Qin Ruzhu pursed her lips and silently turned the person over.

Help him sit on a chair.

He had an injury on his back, and if he lay down, the wound would touch him. If he lay prone...

He looks so disheveled and his clothes are not clean. What if he makes the bed dirty?

Qin Ruzhu turned around and prepared to pour water for Xu Changming, but she didn't notice that the man's eyelids moved when she turned around.

Xu Changming's back felt a little painful against the hard back of the chair, but he endured it.

Yes, he is using the strategy of self-torture.

As for Qin Ruzhu, he knew that this plan would definitely work.

He needs someone to watch his success and accompany him to the highest position.

He had chosen this person and didn't want to change him.

As for whether it was sincere or a scheme, he always only looked at the results. What was wrong with the means used in the process?

If she went back, she would face the devastation of having nothing. If she stayed, he would continue to pamper her like the little princess.

This is her best destination.

Qin Ruzhu, who knew nothing about it, accidentally knocked over the teacup while pouring water, and the water scalded her hands. She took a deep breath and blew on her scalded fingers, enduring the pain.

He quietly poured another cup, waited until it was no longer so hot, then picked it up and turned around.

……

Qin Xin felt as if she had slept for a very long time, so long that she tried to wake up, but was pressed back by the darkness and could not open her eyes.

In a daze, she finally mustered up all her strength and opened her eyes.

However, she was in a dark room.

It was quiet all around, no one was around, and she was tied up.

Soon, someone pushed the door open.

She quickly closed her eyes.

Sit against the bedpost in the same position as when you just woke up and pretend to be asleep.

"You woke up so soon."

He Cong brought a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, placed them on the table in the room, pulled out a chair from under the table, moved it to the bedside, and sat down.

His firm tone made Qin Xin unsure of how to react.

"Qin Xin, I know you are awake, in two senses."

He Cong did not give Qin Xin time to think and went straight to the point.

Qin Xin opened her eyes and calmly looked at the gentle but insane man in front of her.

Since she couldn't figure out something, she decided to ask directly.

"Can you control my mind?"

Hearing Qin Xin's relatively calm voice, He Cong raised his eyebrows.

The smile deepened at the corners of his lips.

"It seems that you haven't remembered what happened in the past few days. Don't worry, think about it carefully first."

As He Cong spoke, he took out a dagger, played with it for a while, and then stretched it in the direction of Qin Xin.

Qin Xin instinctively trembled, but the dagger soon touched her wrist——

Cut the ropes that bound her.

"What do you mean……"

She frowned and stared at He Cong warily, but her voice stopped abruptly when she was halfway through her words.

Qin Xin's pupils trembled and flashed with disbelief, and her face turned pale as frost in an instant, a change of extreme shock and sadness.

He Cong blinked slightly. Could it be that a person could have such a big change in emotions?

She really likes Gu Fei.

What should he do? He asked her to kill Gu Fei with her own hands.

"It must be unpleasant to kill a loved one with your own hands."

He Cong took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Xin.

"Cry if you want to."

His nonchalant tone, coupled with his mellow natural voice, is so contradictory that it makes people feel a strong sense of disconnection.

Qin Xin clenched her cheeks and tried hard to control herself, but her voice still trembled unconsciously.

His eyes were red as he looked at He Cong as if he was looking at an enemy.

He Cong just looked back at Qin Xin calmly, as if he had never done anything unforgivable.

"Why! How did Gu Fei do you wrong? Weren't you loyal to him before? Why did you kill him?!"

Qin Xin yelled at He Cong angrily. Qin Xin reached out, quickly snatched the dagger from He Cong's hand, and stabbed him -

"He won't die, but you can die."
