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

As soon as Xu Changming returned to Prince Hui's palace, he regretted it.

"Somebody come!"

He called the secret guard.

The secret guard came in immediately.

"His Majesty."

"Send someone to follow them and wait for an opportunity..."

He raised his hand and made a gesture at his neck, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

The secret guard raised his eyes, a little shocked. He had the chance to avoid taking action just now, but now he sent assassins to chase him. Was he losing the initiative?

Xu Changming seemed to have thought of this as well, and he frowned and sat down.

After calming down for a while, he changed his words in a deep voice:

"Forget it, don't go."

The tiger has been released back into the mountains. If it is not killed, there will be endless troubles.

Damn it, it was all because of that He Cong, who was double-dealing and deceiving everyone, so he didn't dare to take any risks at all -

I don’t know who He Cong is working for as an undercover agent.

As soon as Xu Changming's mood turned bad, he wanted to go see Qin Ruzhu.

Her world is simple and pure, without so many troubles, so he can also get a moment of peace and happiness from her.

When Xu Changming arrived, Qin Ruzhu was sitting on a carved wooden chair, holding the jade pendant she wore close to her body in her hand, and was in a daze.

There were no palace servants serving in the palace.

I don't know how long she sat like this.

"Why are you daydreaming? What are you thinking about?"

Qin Ruzhu's eyelashes trembled when she heard Xu Changming's voice. She clenched the jade pendant tightly in her hand, her fingertips turned white from holding it so tightly. Even though it hurt, she seemed not to feel it.

"I'm glad you're okay. Where's your seventh sister?"

Qin Ruzhu blinked a few times, looked behind Xu Changming, and asked softly.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, but still behaved in her usual ignorant manner, Xu Changming did not think much about it.

"She was taken away by King Chen."

Hearing this, Qin Ruzhu's expression changed. After blinking a few times, she turned her face away and did not look at Xu Changming.

"You handed her over to King Chen?"

Qin Ruzhu clenched her fingers, endured it, then turned her gaze to stare at Xu Changming.

"Why, are you still angry with me because of a sister you are not close to?"

But Xu Changming didn't care. He reached out and touched the red corners of Qin Ruzhu's eyes, chuckled, and coaxed her.

"She turned against us at the last minute and held He Conglai hostage to seek credit from King Chen. I don't know if she will die in the short term."

"Are you so indifferent to everyone?"

Xu Changming had just sat down in front of the small table where Qin Ruzhu had placed tea and snacks when he heard her sudden call.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Not to you. As for the others, like Zhu, they are just insignificant people."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qin Ruzhu who was walking towards him and sitting down.

"You are the one I care about most. Even if I take the position of King Hui, I will only treat you well. You will be my queen. Do you think this is not good?"

Qin Ruzhu lowered her eyes, held the teacup, and after a moment, she pulled the corners of her lips.

"Well, how can it be bad..."

When Xu Changming saw her expression calm down after she drank a sip of tea, he followed her and drank a sip without hesitation.

It seemed that he felt that everything was stable and the heavy burden on his heart was gone, so Xu Changming started talking.

Looking at the gentle and lovely Qin Ruzhu beside him, he started talking about things he had never told before.

"Do you remember the first time we met?"

Qin Ruzhu held the cup in both hands, staring blankly at the water rippling slightly in the cup. Hearing this, she was stunned.

"Remember, when I got separated from the palace maids, you chased away the people who teased me and took me up to a high place to see the river when I was lost."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and at that time she thought she had met a real hero.

Hearing her description, Xu Changming's eyes darkened.

"No, that wasn't the first time we met."

Xu Changming took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, put down the teacup, and stared at Qin Ruzhu with deep and focused eyes. After seeing her confused and surprised expression, he slowly told the story.

"You really don't remember. We met when we were kids, do you remember? One year you came to visit the Hui Palace with your father... and saved a little boy."

Qin Ruzhu's pupils shrank, and she seemed to have some impression, but she stared uncertainly at the man in front of her who was strategizing and extremely cunning.

Wait for him to continue speaking.

"Yes, that boy is me."

As Xu Changming spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a light pink scar on his forearm left by a sharp object.

"When you were eight years old, Prince Yu brought you to Prince Hui's palace. You got lost and ran to the prince's bedroom. You ran into me being bullied by Xu Changsheng and Xu Changde. Xu Changsheng was resentful because I beat his son in archery, so he hit my arm with a sharp stone, trying to destroy my hand...

You saw it, and said proudly and clearly, "I am the Sixth Princess of the Jade Country, your honored guest. I am taking him away now, and you are not allowed to stop me." My two brothers were afraid that you would complain to our father, so they did not dare to reveal their identities and ran away. You also bandaged my wounds. "

As he spoke, he seemed to recall that dark experience, his brows furrowed, and he was very reluctant to think about it.

Prince Hui's Palace is the dirtiest and cruelest palace in the world. There is no family affection and no humanity here, only supremacy and insignificance.

He lost his mother and his father was tired of him. In order to keep his position as crown prince, he studied hard and learned the six arts in an attempt to surpass his other brothers.

But none of them could compare to the imperial concubine's pillow talk. He had clearly defeated Xu Changsheng, but his father rewarded Xu Changsheng without even looking at him. And Xu Changsheng, unwilling to lose to him, blatantly took advantage of the palace banquet when his father had no time to take care of them, and instigated Xu Changde to cripple his hand.

At that time, Qin Ruzhu was still a little girl, wearing an apricot-pink palace skirt. She was radiant, clean and beautiful, just like the pearl that was placed on high.

She was so confident and kind that she rescued him, bandaged him, and said to him -

If you become stronger, you will definitely not be bullied, right? It doesn't matter. If you leave the palace in the future and have nowhere to go, come to Yuguo to find me. I am Qin Ruzhu, the most favored princess of Yuguo. I can protect you!

She was gentle, kind and innocent. Apart from her mother, she was the first person to treat him like this.

So he remembered her, and also remembered that if he became stronger, he could trample under his feet all those who bullied him.

After hearing this, Qin Ruzhu's hand shook and the cup fell to the ground, spilling water onto the blanket.

Xu Changming saw that her eyes were red and she shook her head slightly, as if she couldn't believe it and seemed to regret something.

He thought she regretted not recognizing him sooner, so he reached out and held her trembling hand.

"Now, do you remember? This is a marriage destined by heaven. Ruzhu, from that moment on, you have lived in my heart. I promise that I will treat you well in the future..."

"really?"

Qin Ruzhu pulled her hand back, looked at his big hand, and, not knowing what she was thinking of, she raised her hands to cover her face in despair.

Sobbing.

"So that's how it is... So... I saved the devil and brought suffering upon myself! What a destined marriage, a bad fate, a bad fate! It's all my retribution!"

Qin Ruzhu suddenly stood up and threw all the cups on the table to the ground. She spoke loudly and sternly.

Xu Changming was shocked and stared at her red eyes and devastated expression.

His heart sank, and then he frowned and asked calmly -

"What do you know?"

Thinking of something, Xu Changming immediately stood up, walked to Qin Ruzhu, and reached out to hold her arm.

"Did Qin Xin tell you something? Don't listen to her. She is trying to sow discord..."

Qin Ruzhu's face turned red from crying, and she struggled to shake off Xu Changming's hand.

She looked at this clever man with tears in her eyes and laughed at herself.

"Xu Changming, are you very proud of yourself? Are you proud of your ability to see through people's minds and control everything? So you just watched me fall into the lies and traps you wove step by step. You must be very proud of yourself! Look at how stupid I am, being used and deceived by you!"

She reached out and slapped Xu Changming's chest hard.

"Do you have a heart? They are my father, my mother, my relatives! They are all dead. It is you who caused me to lose my parents. It is you who made me bear the stigma of being a traitor. It is you... it is you who made me become such a ridiculous person."

If Qin Xin hadn't told her, she would still be kept in the dark.

It turned out that because she stole the city defense map and gave it to Xu Changming, her father was angry with her mother, and in order to protect her, her mother killed her father with her own hands...

Her parents killed each other, and it was she who caused it. And Xu Changming, the culprit, not only didn't tell her, but also lied to her and wanted to marry her?

If she married Xu Changming as his queen, what would the people of Yuguo say about her? She would then be convicted of treason and would be infamous forever.

This man kept saying that he loved her, but he treated her like a canary, killed her closest relatives, and still had the nerve to talk about his deep affection!

"Calm down! Your father's death was caused by his stupidity and cowardice. As for your mother, her hands are not clean! They only brought this upon themselves."

Xu Changming was a little impatient. He grabbed Qin Ruzhu's hands, held her wrists tightly and stopped her movements.

He did not notice Qin Ruzhu's frowning brows in pain, nor did he think of comforting her. Instead, he just coldly opened her wound, hoping that she would let it go and heal it herself.

"Qin Ruzhu, you have no relatives or followers anymore, and you can't go back to the Jade Kingdom. Your fifth sister hates you and your daughter to the core, and now she has ascended the throne as the emperor. Do you think you can go back now that you are in disgrace?"

Xu Changming finally stopped pretending and showed his true side in front of Qin Ruzhu.

"Only I, only I will not dislike you, will not drive you away, will protect you, love you, and give you power, status, glory and wealth. Wake up, naive little princess, it's time for you to grow up."

Originally, he thought that if she didn't know, he would keep it a secret from her for life. If he couldn't keep it a secret, she would be pregnant with his child by then. How could a woman like her who needed protection and pampering live without him? At that time, no matter how angry she was, she would figure it out.

It was a pity that the damned Qin Xin had exposed all this in advance. But it didn't matter, she could only depend on him now, and if she didn't listen, he would scare her and she would behave.

——Qin Ruzhu, Xu Changming doesn’t love you at all, he only loves himself. Such a person, who doesn’t love your inner self, nor your low mood and collapse, is not a good person at all.

Qin Ruzhu thought of what Qin Xin had said. At this moment, looking at the cold and arrogant man, she suddenly understood.

Yes, Xu Changming only loves himself. What kind of affection did they have when they were young? He just wanted to regain his dignity and respect after his failure. He wanted to marry the most noble and favored princess in the three kingdoms and become the king who looked down on everything...

He doesn't know how to love the whole person, and he doesn't care about her pain.

What a scary man! She thought he looked cold but had a warm heart, but it turned out that his heart was even colder than he appeared.

Qin Ruzhu calmed down. Looking at Xu Changming whose true nature was revealed, she couldn't help but smile slowly.

He laughed mockingly a few times.

"I was wrong, all wrong. I shouldn't have known you in the first place. I was so stupid to trust you! They brought this upon themselves? No, Xu Changming, we brought this upon ourselves!"

She grabbed Xu Changming's collar, held it gently, and buried her face in his arms.

"I hate that I didn't have the heart to do it, but now, I have the heart to do it."

Xu Changming sensed something was wrong, and he instinctively tried to push Qin Ruzhu away, but he found that he had no strength in his body. In fact, his blood and qi were flowing randomly. He trembled and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
