"No hurry. The life or death of King Chen is uncertain, and it is still unknown whether he will wake up or not."

He Cong put his hands behind his back, pointing his fingers at the wall of the teacup, his smiling eyes full of indifference.

"If he doesn't wake up, then we can only stick to the original plan."

Qin Xin's eyes flickered slightly.

"You'd better not miss. We can't afford to lose."

He Cong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Qin Xin's lifeless face, and couldn't help but sigh.

"You were like this before? No wonder you died early."

These words sounded harsh, but Qin Xin just raised her eyes and looked at him coldly.

"If we fail, we'll all be the same."

After saying that, she turned around coldly, and slapped He Cong in the face while her hair was swinging.

He Cong closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his smile was gone.

He looked at the sky which suddenly turned cloudy.

"You are truly unpredictable in your development."

Qin Ruzhu only heard about Xu Changming's ascension to the throne the next day and was shocked.

So... he ascended the throne?

Then can she go home?

She happily prepared to pack her luggage, but suddenly realized that she had taken nothing with her when Xu Changming took her away. After coming here, all the things were bought by Xu Changming.

Looking at this dazzling array of items, I didn't know where to start.

Qin Ruzhu has been spoiled since she was a child and has seen many good things. To be honest, these are not even as precious as the ornaments in her bedroom.

If Xu Changming had chosen them personally, she would have been a little reluctant to part with them, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that among all these, only the pair of earrings were given to her personally by him.

The rest were bought by the maids.

"Miss, His Majesty invites you to the palace for the ceremony."

Qin Ruzhu put down all her things without interest, then turned around and pushed the door, only to see two maids waiting outside the door holding gorgeous clothes and jewelry.

He said "please", but he didn't ask her wishes in advance, and he prepared the gorgeous clothes and beautiful jewelry.

Qin Ruzhu bit her lip.

The Queen Mother also arranged everything for her in the same way, but she knew her preferences and would give her the opportunity to choose these...

"Can I not go?"

She spoke timidly, her hand pressing on the door frame.

The maid bowed her head and bowed.

"Please don't make things difficult for me, young lady."

Qin Ruzhu's eyes dimmed.

I looked up again and looked at the birdcage under the eaves diagonally opposite. For some reason, I instantly empathized with the bird pecking at its food.

Before I could look away, I met a pair of cold but clear eyes.

In the palace of King Hui.

The new emperor's coronation ceremony was held in a hurry, so it was not very grand.

But regardless of size, this battle for the throne, which seemed to have no suspense but had been fought overtly and covertly, has finally come to an end.

Open another chapter.

Xu Changming looked at the civil and military officials shouting "Long live the emperor", and a smile flashed in his eyes.

It feels so good to have his destiny in his own hands from now on.

He waited until the ceremony was over before going to look for Qin Ruzhu.

At that time, Qin Ruzhu and He Cong were sitting opposite each other. Qin Xin was still wearing a black dress, like a witch, sitting beside Qin Ruzhu and staring at her.

He Cong drank calmly, and when Xu Changming arrived, he did not stand up, but just raised his hand and raised his glass to Xu Changming.

"Congratulations, King Xinhui."

He did not stand up to salute, and Xu Changming did not care. He reached out, took the wine cup from the palace servant's tray, raised it towards He Cong, and returned the glass.

"Thank you for your help, Brother He."

He Cong raised his eyebrows at the title and accepted it with pleasure.

Qin Ruzhu heard a sarcastic snort coming from the side.

She looked timidly at the "female assassin" Qin Xin who was sitting next to her.

Then his sight was caught by the sharp-eyed Qin Assassin. He was nervous for a moment and hurriedly picked up the fruit plate in front of him and placed it in front of Qin Xin.

"Here, your favorite food."

Qin Xin lowered her eyes and glanced at the fruit plate in front of her.

"Don't be so attentive."

This sentence completely destroyed the desire that Qin Ruzhu had just felt to communicate.

This is not as good as the previous Seventh Sister. Although she is also straightforward, she is still funny and humorous. This one in front of me...

Qin Ruzhu felt guilty as if she owed her several lives.

Xu Changming entertained the three of them separately, and he and He Congjin went into the hall to discuss declaring war on the State of Chen.

In the hall, Qin Ruzhu looked at Qin Xin, turned around and moved closer.

Then I heard Qin Xin's cold voice.

"Sit back."

"..."

Qin Ruzhu pouted with grievance, turned around and sat down.

I don’t know how much time passed before Xu Changming and He Cong came out.

He Cong first came to Qin Xin and nodded to her, indicating that he had succeeded.

Qin Xin, who had a wooden face the whole night, finally smiled a little, but it was fleeting.

Qin Ruzhu looked at this and that in confusion.

In the end, Xu Changming's tall figure blocked the view.

"Ruzhu, are you willing to marry me as your queen?"

Xu Changming drank some wine, and there was a hint of intoxicating tenderness in his eyes.

If it were in the past, back to the beginning when nothing had happened, a little princess like Qin Ruzhu who was ignorant of the world would definitely be moved and surprised.

A new king of a country, upon ascending the throne, invited her to a banquet and even took the initiative to ask for her hand in marriage...

She will definitely be moved, and even if she doesn't agree on the spot, she will remember it for a long time.

But at this time, Qin Ruzhu had experienced many changes, fell from the clouds, and was branded as a traitor. She could no longer put all this aside and look at Xu Changming simply as she did before.

He is King Hui, Hui State attacked her motherland, and Xu Changming was the mastermind behind it——

Even though he said he wasn't.

She also thought, if she married him, since he was so good to her, would he let Yuguo go?

But the incident of the city defense map eventually made Qin Ruzhu lose trust in Xu Changming.

He couldn't love her and her whole family. He seemed to be able to separate her from her father, mother, and her motherland. He only loved her, but hurt her family without considering her feelings.

"I'll...think about it."

Qin Ruzhu lowered her head. She had the answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell the truth.

Seeing her clumsy lie, Xu Changming was dejected. She was too bad at lying and he could tell it at a glance.

But Xu Changming didn't care.

"Then you can stay in the palace first and tell me after you have thought it over."

The word "Gu" expresses one's attitude.

That was the limit of his patience with her.

"Your Majesty, once your great cause is accomplished, why worry about not having an heir?"

He Cong raised his voice and asked back in a low voice from behind Xu Changming.

Perhaps because he was frightened by Gu Fei, He Cong couldn't bear to see the king having a head that could talk about love.

Xu Changming glanced at Qin Xin who was drinking indifferently, then turned around and whispered to He Congdao.

"Brother He, since you helped me ascend the throne, why don't you become my advisor? I promise that your status and salary will definitely not be less than that in Chen Country."

How could he just smile and not respond to this?

He just glanced at Xu Changming and then at Qin Xin.

He whispered with certainty.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you and she are here, whether it's Prince Chen or... Gu Fei, they will definitely come."

Xu Changming wanted Prince Chen to die. If the tyrant Prince Chen woke up, he would definitely lead his troops to attack and settle all new and old grudges at once.

If the tyrant was not awakened by him, and it was Gu Fei who woke up -

If Qin Xin is here, why wouldn’t Gu Fei come?

Hearing this, Xu Changming frowned and began to think.

If Prince Chen were so confident and led his troops here, what would his chances of winning be?

Qin Xin slowly raised her head and looked at He Cong, who was full of confidence.

Then he fluttered his eyelashes and continued to drink.

From what He Cong said, Gu Fei is not dead?
