I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"Jiang Zuo."

As soon as she saw Jiang Zuo, Qin Yu's face showed a little more smile, but the next moment, her gaze could not help but stay on Chen Qingyun.

"What a beautiful sister..."

Looking at the empress in front of him, Qin Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

Jiang Zuo didn't say anything, but secretly glanced at Chen Qingyun, then frowned and looked at Master Guo.

Master Guo lowered his head, knowing that things were not going well, and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Miss Qin, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's go."

"and many more."

Chen Qingyun suddenly spoke.

Jiang Zuo's body shook inexplicably and he felt something was wrong.

"Jiang Zuo, who is she?"

Chen Qingyun's voice was extremely low, and one could even see a hint of majesty in his eyes.

Jiang Zuo was startled, but he tried to remain calm and said, "Her name is Qin Yu, and she is the third daughter of the Qin family in the southeast, the same Qin family that helped us defeat the State of Chen."

"In this case, he is also a meritorious official of our Yan State."

Chen Qingyun turned his head and looked at Qin Yu with gentle eyes.

Qin Yu also looked at Chen Qingyun. Looking at Chen Qingyun, she couldn't help but wonder, "Could she be the one that Jiang Zuo is thinking of?"

Thinking of that time, she leaned forward and bowed, saying, "I am Qin Yu, and I am honored to meet you."

Unlike the tense situation that Jiang Zuo had expected, Chen Qingyun was very calm at this moment and did not show any displeasure to Jiang Zuo.

But even so, Jiang Zuo was still extremely uneasy.

"I wonder what the relationship is between Miss Qin and Jiang Zuo?"

Chen Qingyun suddenly asked.

This question really made Jiang Zuo panic, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Yu with a strange look.

Qin Yu's face at this moment also had a complicated expression. She had said in front of Jiang Zuo that she wanted to meet his lover, but now that he was really in front of her, Qin Yu was completely speechless.

At this time, Master Guo rushed to say: "This Miss Qin is Lord Jiang's friend in the South Country. She came here specially to visit today."

"Yes...it's me, sister. May I ask for your advice?" Qin Yu bowed.

"She is……"

Jiang Zuo wanted to conceal Chen Qingyun's identity, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Miss Qin, I am the current emperor."

Chen Qingyun said calmly.

This sentence seemed to be declaring something.

After these words were spoken, Qin Yu's face suddenly showed a hint of shock.

"The person Jiang Zuo loves is actually the Queen of Yan?!" Qin Yu's feelings at this moment are difficult to describe in words.

No wonder Jiang Zuo had repeatedly declined her kindness before. Qin Yu immediately understood the reason.

The empress's noble temperament made Qin Yu feel a little inferior.

No matter how stubborn a person is, they all know that they should give in at this moment.

The words and actions of the empress and Jiang Zuo just now were definitely more than just a simple relationship between a monarch and his subject. Qin Yu could see it.

Qin Yu couldn't help but lower his head and sighed helplessly in his heart.

The most shocked person present was not Qin Yu, but Master Guo behind him.

"Miss Chen, you... are the emperor?!"

Master Guo was stunned. He hesitated for a moment before kneeling down and saying, "Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Qin Yu also followed suit and saluted.

"Be flat."

Chen Qingyun spoke in a calm tone.

Master Guo looked flustered. Like Jiang Zuo, he was already sweating profusely. His voice was lowered a few notches as he said, "I didn't know your Majesty's identity just now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Qingyun's expression remained calm. If Qin Yu had not been in front of her, she would not have wanted to reveal her identity.

Jiang Zuo, who was standing aside, carefully observed the empress's eyes, and soon he understood Chen Qingyun's intention.

Qin Yu had thousands of words in her heart, but at this moment she had no idea how to say them.

The situation at the moment seems a little awkward.

What Jiang Zuo is most worried about now is that Qin Yu is still stubbornly confessing her feelings to Jiang Zuo, and now Jiang Zuo may not be able to explain clearly to the empress.

"Master Guo, Miss Qin has just arrived. Please take her on a tour..."

Jiang Zuo suddenly said.

The best way now is to get Qin Yu away.

"Okay, okay." Master Guo nodded repeatedly, "Miss Qin, please come this way."

Qin Yu opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her brows slightly furrowed. After glancing at Jiang Zuo, she turned around and followed Master Guo away.

Facing Chen Qingyun, the empress, Qin Yu no longer had the love in her mind. She could only hope that Jiang Zuo's ideal partner was not this empress, otherwise, Qin Yu really could not compete with her.

Seeing Qin Yu leave, Jiang Zuo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Qingyun: "Your Majesty, let's keep going."

But Chen Qingyun stopped where he was, his eyes were quite deep, and his close observation made Jiang Zuo's hair stand on end.

"Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with this Miss Qin?"

Chen Qingyun said in a low voice.

She didn't question him on the spot just now, but just endured it.

Jiang Zuo did not hesitate and immediately replied: "As for our relationship... we are just ordinary friends."

Jiang Zuo would never admit what happened between him and Qin Yu even if he was beaten to death. If he really wanted to tell the truth, Jiang Zuo would have nine lives.

"Is that true?" Chen Qingyun obviously didn't believe it, and asked again: "How do you know the third young lady of the Qin family?"

Could it be that Jiang Zuo was able to contact the Qin family of Chen State so quickly because he had a relationship with the third lady of another country?

"How do you know each other?" Jiang Zuo was slightly stunned, and the first time he met Qin Yu flashed through his mind.

It was a drunken blur.

If he really wanted to recall it carefully, Jiang Zuo couldn't think of it, so he could only say it half true and half false: "When I first arrived in Guangning City, this girl Qin was hunted by the court of Chen State and hid in our Yan State envoys. That's how we met, and then we chose to cooperate and fight against Chen State together. It's that simple. If it weren't for the Qin family, our army wouldn't have been able to destroy Chen State so quickly."

"So, everything Prime Minister Jiang did was for the court." Chen Qingyun had a blank expression.

"Of course, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. When I was in the State of Chen, I did not do anything else, let alone have any affairs." Jiang Zuo argued cunningly.

"I didn't ask, but I just saw from Miss Qin's serious eyes that she seemed to have some feelings for you, Jiang Zuo."

Chen Qingyun said.

At this point, it was Jiang Zuo's turn to panic again. After calming down a bit, he said, "Your Majesty may have seen it wrong. She and I are really just friends. If you don't believe me, Your Majesty can ask Master Guo."

Jiang Zuo was not lying. From the very beginning, he did not accept Qin Yu's love.

"I'm afraid that the flowers have feelings but the water is heartless." Chen Qingyun said lightly.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this..."

Jiang Zuo felt more and more that something was wrong.

There seemed to be a strange atmosphere in the air.

"I'm going back to the palace first. You don't need to go into the palace today. Have fun."

Chen Qingyun said this in a cold tone, then turned and left.

"Your Majesty, go slowly."

Jiang Zuo leaned over and looked at Chen Qingyun's leaving figure, feeling uneasy.

"Siyue couldn't have really misunderstood, right?"

This time I will suffer the old sin...
