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

"Queen, you know you are wrong!"

When Qin Xin came this time, the Queen Mother did not hide her dislike for her and attacked her as soon as she paid her respects.

Qin Xin played dumb: "I... don't know."

The Queen Mother choked and said in a cold tone: "As a queen, you should be magnanimous and consider the overall situation, but you seduced the king, causing His Majesty to be unable to treat everyone equally, and causing the concubines in the harem to resent you, don't you know?"

There were quite a few high-sounding charges listed.

Qin Xin really wanted to clean her ears, but she held back.

She lowered her eyebrows and shook her head, "I took the initiative to move out of Longyuan Palace, but I didn't expect that I was wrong... His Majesty doesn't want to turn over the cards, and I dare not disobey him."

As she said this, she knelt down - luckily she had put cushions on her knees, so kneeling was not painful.

"Please tell me clearly, Queen Mother, how can we avoid disobeying the king's orders and satisfy you and the concubines?"

"You!" How could there be such a stubborn person!

The Queen Mother's chest heaved with anger.

"Don't pester His Majesty. Ask him to only turn over your card. Is that difficult?"

"Ah this..."

Qin Xin showed a strange expression and spoke in a very low voice.

"Your Majesty has never favored me... He is pure-hearted and has only the country in his heart."

The Queen Mother frowned, what?

No favor, then...

Her eyes suddenly opened wide. So His Majesty still couldn't...consummate the marriage?

The Queen Mother was obviously not particularly surprised, but her expression was a little subtle.

However, after she realized that she had no chance of gaining the upper hand over Qin Xin in words, she simply put on a sullen face.

"In that case, you should copy the female rules and palace regulations ten times in Shoukang Palace and think them over carefully before going back."

Qin Xin didn't say anything, she counted to ten silently.

You took the initiative to say that your son is in trouble, and you still want to blame me? Then... go fight with your son.

After counting ten times, Gu Fei kicked aside the palace servants who were blocking his way at the door and strode in.

When he looked cold and fierce, no one in the palace dared to get close to him.

Gu Fei reached out and pulled Qin Xin up.

"His Majesty!"

The Queen Mother raised her voice with anger.

Gu Fei looked at the Queen Mother coldly.

"Queen Mother, please don't force me."

Just six words. The Queen Mother looked at the pair of cold eyes, as if she remembered something. She swayed slightly and sat down.

Qin Xin was curious, could a cold threat be so effective?

But she just stood behind Gu Fei and let him solve the problem.

"Your Majesty, do you really love the Queen so much?"

Probably irritated by Gu Fei's attitude, the Queen Mother did not care about her dignity and asked in front of Qin Xin.

Gu Feixian turned to Qin Xin and whispered, "Go wait for me outside."

After Qin Xin left, Gu Fei glanced at the other palace servants and said, "Get out."

The palace maids were so frightened that they left immediately.

The Queen Mother's face turned pale: "This is my Shoukang Palace, Your Majesty is too presumptuous!"

"This is also my palace. Does the Queen Mother want to be the first to wake up at dawn?"

Gu Fei sneered, and only relaxed his expression when he saw that the empress dowager looked unhappy.

"I am your mother!"

The Queen Mother looked furious.

"But in your heart, the Liu family are your relatives, aren't they?"

Gu Fei asked back, speaking for the former King Chen's hidden grievances.

"In your heart, Liu Yanran is more like my own child than me!"

"...You!" Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's eyes widened with shock and panic, making her look a little out of control.

The Queen Mother held onto the chair, turned sideways, and did not look at Gu Fei.

"How can you say such unfilial words? I treat Yan Ran well because..."

"Because her biological mother is your sister, and she died to save you."

Gu Fei said this expressionlessly and then sneered.

"You can bring her into the palace and raise her as your daughter. I will also make her a princess. But the Queen Mother's actions are incomprehensible to me, your son."

"That's all."

The Queen Mother had an unnatural expression, as if a sore spot had been touched, and she waved her hands quickly.

"It's up to you to do whatever you want. Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and that's all I have to say. As for Yan Ran, she is a daughter of the Liu family after all, and even if you don't love her, you should treat her better."

"As long as my cousin sticks to her duties and doesn't cause trouble, I will."

After Gu Fei finished speaking, he turned and left.

"But from now on, none of you should touch the queen."

Amid the Empress Dowager's complicated expression, Gu Fei walked away.

……

"Did you really challenge the Queen Mother?"

Gu Fei followed Qin Xin back to Fengqi Palace. Qin Xin dismissed the people around him and said nervously in a low voice.

"What if the truth is revealed? She is the biological mother of King Chen!"

"will not."

Gu Fei then recounted in detail the grudge between Prince Chen and his mother.

"When Prince Chen was a child, the Queen Mother, who had lost her sister, changed her temperament. She forced Prince Chen to learn martial arts, became the undisputed crown prince, and forced him to do all kinds of things that he could not accept...

In short, their relationship is very strained. But——"

Seeing Gu Fei frowning as if he was confused, Qin Xin curiously asked, "But what?"

"Prince Chen complained about the Queen Mother, but because of his aloof personality, he didn't say what was really in his heart... After I said it today, I felt that the Queen Mother's reaction was a bit strange."

strange?

Gu Fei looked at Qin Xin and explained to her in a low voice.

"She was shocked and flustered but not heartbroken or disappointed. Do you think this would be the true reaction of a mother who was questioned by her own son?"

Combined with some of the things he had secretly investigated with He Cong and others before, Gu Fei always felt that the Liu family was hiding something from him.

For example, the death of her younger sister, and her unique guilt towards Liu Yanran...

"Qin Xin, come with me to Liu Mansion again."

There are too many doubts about some things, so he wants to verify them.

Qin Xin nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Okay, go ahead."

"..."

Gu Fei paused and looked at her suspiciously.

"Why didn't you hesitate? What if it's dangerous?"

Qin Xin heard this but did not answer immediately. Instead, he frowned and thought carefully.

"Then... let's arrange more people to support us. You are right. Exploring secrets involves certain risks."

After thinking for a while, Qin Xin added:

"I'm going to prepare some life-saving artifacts now. You wait here for me."

After saying this, he ran to the inner room in a hurry.

"You don't have to agree to me..." Gu Fei said hesitantly.

"I want to protect you, I told you so."

Just when Gu Fei thought Qin Xin didn't hear this, the latter poked her head out from behind the screen with a bright smile.

"Don't worry, I am your most reliable comrade."

Gu Fei felt that if there was a heart rate monitor right now, his heart rate would probably... skyrocket.

But before he could express his gratitude, he heard Qin Xin add a sentence:

"If you are killed, I can collect your body and bury it for you."

Gu Fei: “…”Thank you so much then.

That's not necessary.

Shoukang Palace.

"What? He wants to take the Queen to the Duke's Mansion?"

The Queen Mother only learned the news in the evening of the next day. She immediately opened her eyes and looked stunned.

Madam Zhao replied anxiously: "This is what I have heard, it is true..."

The Queen Mother's eyelids twitched when she recalled the questions His Majesty asked yesterday.

She waved her hand, motioning for Madam Zhao to come forward, and then whispered something.

"You leave the palace now and go to the Duke's Mansion, then..."

After giving the order, the Queen Mother rubbed her forehead, looking a little tired, but her eyes were firm.

There are some things that Gu Fei can never know!
