After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 839 The whole family is a rebel (123)

Qin Shu's appearance was completely beyond Jin Yan's expectations.

But he has always been like this, standing quietly beside Jin Yan.

Before Qin Shu's affectionate gaze could fall on Jin Yan, Qin Shu, with the word "unhappy" written all over his body, had already come between the two of them, blocking the view in front and behind with his tall and straight body.

Jin Yan was calling his name. Xiao Jin An gave Qin Shu a warning look before speaking in a fake tone, "Why are you here? Leaving your post without permission is punishable by death!"

Qin Shu said: "Your Majesty summoned me, so I dare not refuse. The King of Qin must have returned to Chang'an after receiving Your Majesty's order, right?"

Xiao Jinan's expression suddenly turned sour.

edict?

What it is!
Chang'an is his home. His father, mother and brothers are all in Chang'an. Most importantly, his sister has also returned to Chang'an. He just wants to go home to reunite with his family. Why does he need an imperial edict?
But no matter how tough his attitude was, there was no edict. If the emperor had not turned a blind eye to it, I am afraid that the main issue that everyone would discuss in the court tomorrow would be the conspiracy and ambition hidden in the fact that the King of Qin returned to the palace without an edict.

Ignoring Xiao Jinan's frustrated expression, Qin Shu passed him and came to Jinyan. After carefully examining her for a long time, he spoke, "After receiving the letter from Changan, I originally planned to go to the north to pick up the princess and return to Changan together. Unexpectedly, some accidents occurred, delaying the trip, so I was a few days late."

He said it lightly, but Jin Yan didn't think it was that simple.

How could such an ordinary accident trip up the invincible General Qin? It was probably that the Xiongnu who had been driven away would come to disturb the border again, or some small countries would rebel again.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Jinyan asked him.

He was wearing armor, wrapped tightly inside and out, so you couldn't see any injuries or where old wounds had appeared.

Qin Shu shook his head. Seeing Jin Yan still looking at him, he said, "Don't worry, Princess. He is intact."

Just as he finished speaking, a cold sneer came from behind him, "Intact? You know Yan'er is worried, but you still say that on purpose. Are you still planning to tear off this annoying armor and show her your wounds?"

Qin Shu naturally denied it.

But Xiao Jinan refused to give in. "Since the emperor has summoned you, then go and see him. Don't waste time here."

Qin Shu naturally remembered his identity. He spoke a few more words to Jin Yan before disappearing into the darkness again to meet the emperor.

As soon as he left, Xiao Jinan immediately dragged Jinyan out of the palace.

The folk lantern festival is much more interesting than the banquet in the palace.

……

After all, Qin Shu was only a minister and commanded a large army. He could not come and go as freely as the King of Qin. It was not until the palace banquet was about to end and the emperor left that his figure disappeared from the palace banquet hall.

"Meet Your Majesty..."

"No gift."

Before Qin Shu knelt down, the emperor's attendant held his arm.

Leaving the noisy palace banquet, sitting in the tall and solemn council hall, under the flickering candlelight, the emperor's facial features were no longer friendly as he showed intentionally or unintentionally, but a kind of aloof and coldness as if he was a god.

The attendants who served closely were often frightened by the emperor's behavior. Sometimes they even doubted whether the emperor they saw was really the same person.
Such questions linger in many people's minds, but no one dares to express them.

After the emperor dismissed his attendants and only the two of them were left, Qin Shu pleaded guilty again, "I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Ji asked him, "What crime have you committed?"

Qin Shu: "I have failed to return on time, betrayed your majesty's trust, and let the princess return to Chang'an alone. I deserve death."

Jin Yan is the eldest princess and has countless people protecting and serving her. However, the journey back to Chang'an is not a smooth one. Anything that happens during the journey, even the slightest mistake, may change the situation of the entire world.

Xiao Ji was not angry, but smiled, "You are guilty, but not here."

Qin Shu was a little puzzled. Xiao Ji said, "You three grew up together. Except for the few years when Yan'er was a hostage in Chang'an, you were almost never apart. How come you haven't dealt with your brother-in-law yet?"

Qin Shu: “…”

Is he disliked by His Majesty?
Xiao Ji continued, "The King of Qin has repeatedly interfered with your marriage to Yan'er. Have you really never had the intention to kill him?"

Qin Shu: “…”

This is a life-threatening question.

No matter how much of a bastard the King of Qin was, he was still the King of Qin, the son of the Emperor, and the monarch. Could he really kill the monarch?
Thinking of this, he raised his head slightly, but met a pair of fierce and sharp eyes.

Qin Shu's heart skipped a beat.

He was about to kneel down and apologize when he heard the emperor say, "It is said outside that Yan'er returned to the palace early for your marriage. What do you think?"

Qin Shu did not hesitate at all, "Your Majesty, I love the princess and want to be with her for the rest of my life. This is my own feeling. It is my great honor that the princess likes me. I do not ask for marriage or not. I am satisfied to be able to protect and wait for the princess for the rest of her life like this!"

The emperor remained silent, but his eyes were always on Qin Shu's face, as if he was doubting the truthfulness of his words.

Qin Shu knelt down at this moment. He said piously and calmly, "No matter what people outside say, the current situation is what I want. As long as the princess is safe, I am willing to do anything."

"What about the King of Qin?"

The emperor asked again.

Qin Shu opened his lips slightly, but remained silent.

After a while, he kowtowed again, asking the emperor to forgive his rudeness, and then said: "Perhaps I am just imagining things, but sometimes I feel that the King of Qin and I are like two sides of the same person, or like we have known each other for many years."

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, but he remained silent.

Qin Shu didn't say anything else.

a long time.

The emperor asked Qin Shu to stand up.

"Let's go out of the palace."

"..."

"My minister retire."

When the Lantern Festival was about to end, Xiao Jinan brought Jinyan to the tallest restaurant in Chang'an City.

The moon was high in the sky, but the streets were still crowded. The beautiful and novel lanterns were dancing in response to people's laughter and joy. Jin Yan was delighted by their smiles, but Xiao Jin An was a little out of shape.

It was not until he heard Jin Yan calling him brother that he suddenly came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

Jin Yan pulled his cheek, looked at him unhappily and said, "I was going to ask you what's wrong. You don't like lanterns, but you always like fireworks. But the fireworks were so beautiful just now, and the people of Chang'an were cheering, but you didn't even look at them."

Xiao Jinan was about to explain when the annoying voice came from behind him again.

"If the King of Qin doesn't want to watch, then don't watch... Your Highness, I will watch the fireworks with you."

"Okay."

"Qin Shu, you are looking for death!"

"Watch it for a lifetime."

"Okay."
