"Wait a minute."

Arriving at the gate of the palace, Shen Ji glanced at the crowd of guards behind Qin Xin and bowed to Qin Xin for instructions.

Qin Xin understood that, not to mention that she was now a Chen citizen in everyone's eyes, even if she was still a princess of the Yu Kingdom, she could not bring so many people into the palace.

She understood that she couldn't bring weapons when entering the palace to see the emperor.

However, Qin Xin valued her life, so she only allowed Sui Shou and a few skilled sword-fighters to accompany her.

Wait for her to test the water in the Jade Palace before settling the rest of the people.

Shen Ji led the way, but was stopped after only a few steps.

"General Shen, His Majesty has ordered that you not be seen. Please go back——"

The eunuch, swinging his whisk, spoke with a sarcastic look on his face.

Qin Xin put her face close to him and rolled her eyes at him.

If the emperor is not in power, the eunuchs will take advantage of it.

She rolled her eyes so much that the old eunuch immediately pointed at her and scolded her in a shrill voice.

"You, where are you from? How dare you!"

"You're the one who's so presumptuous!"

When Sui Shou saw the eunuch pointing his finger at his own queen, he stretched out his hand and broke it, being even more ferocious than the eunuch.

"Ahhh, our hand, someone come..."

"This is the Seventh Princess, and the current Queen of Chen Kingdom."

Shen Ji, who could no longer bear it, spoke to the eunuch in a cold tone.

What kind of villains are these around your Majesty?

He was deeply saddened.

"What? You said she was? General Shen, you just found a fake to fool His Majesty in order to stop the Fifth Princess' marriage!"

The old eunuch is a favorite of the Jade King, and his attitude towards Shen Ji...

Qin Xin pounded his leg, feeling a little tired and a little impatient.

"I said--"

She spoke, then took Gu Fei's imperial edict scroll, but did not give it to the old eunuch. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly.

"Since you are preventing me from returning to the palace to see my father and do not take me, the seventh princess, seriously, then let the Jade King come to pick up the Queen of Chen Kingdom in person."

She was not interested in claiming the unlucky identity of the Seventh Princess of the Jade Kingdom.

Sui Shou puffed out his chest proudly: "The Queen is here on the orders of His Majesty. Seeing Her is like seeing His Majesty!"

Ok?

Qin Xin glanced at Sui Shou, who turned his head and whispered, "His Majesty has instructed that if you are in trouble, bring him up."

"..." Humph, rare?

Shen Ji glanced coldly at the palace servants behind the old eunuch.

"How dare this general deceive you? This is Queen Chen, no lie."

The old eunuch was dumbfounded when he saw the imperial edict.

After hearing Sui Shou's majestic and ruthless words, his knees became even weaker.

He hurried to apologize to Qin Xin.

"It turned out to be the Seventh Princess..."

Under Qin Xin's disdainful gaze, he gritted his teeth, slapped his lips, and changed his words awkwardly -

"Look at what I say. Queen Chen, you have come from afar. His Majesty must be happy that father and daughter are reunited. Please, I will pass on the message right away!"

After saying that, he ran back happily.

Shen Ji frowned with disdain.

Qin Xin glanced at him and silently sympathized with him.

General Shen is a good candidate for loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but unfortunately, good generals under incompetent emperors in troubled times have always been rare.

Either you fail to achieve your ambitions, or you fail to have a good ending.

The group continued forward, supported by the palace servants.

Soon, they arrived at the Jade King's bedroom.

A slender figure was kneeling there.

This was the first time Qin Xin met Qin Jiao.

One of her sisters in this body.

Qin Xin said nothing, looking at the woman who looked more elegant and beautiful than others even when kneeling.

There wasn't much written about her in the book, and adding more would have been pointless, as she hadn't read it carefully.

Qin Jiao is a little shorter than Qin Xin, and thinner, but she doesn't give people a sense of weakness. Maybe it's her temperament, the kind of orchid in the valley, noble yet gentle temperament.

Without seeing her face clearly, Qin Xin was about to go around to admire the beauty from the front when she heard the Jade King's impatient voice from inside -

"It is a great honor to let you marry. I am letting you enjoy the happiness. Don't be ungrateful!"

Tsk, just by listening to Shi En's tone, Qin Xin's fists became hard.

"The matter of the seventh sister has not been verified yet. Even if she really died, as her motherland, we should bury her and seek justice for her. How can we send another princess to the den of wolves at this time?

Simply compromising will not make the Jade Nation stronger. I beg you, father, to revoke the marriage order!"

Qin Jiao's voice is like a clear spring flowing over rocks, very pleasant to hear.

Her voice was thin and soft, but at this moment her words were powerful.

As she spoke, she folded her hands, held her arms in a straight line, and prostrated herself on the ground with her back straight, bowing her head.

Later, Qin Xin found out that this was the first time Qin Jiao rebelled against her father.

Qin Xin sighed a little. She and Qin Jiao were strangers to each other. She didn't expect that after she "got into trouble", it was this sister whom she had never met who was thinking about her.

Listen to the inside again——

"Hmph, a married woman must obey her husband, what's the point of asking for justice? Do you dare to challenge King Chen? Don't even mention it's a den of wolves. As long as King Chen wants you, even if it's hell, you should wade through it for the Jade Kingdom and your father!"

"His Majesty……"

"Don't you see I'm busy? What are you doing here..."

There was no talking behind him, but there was a crackling sound. It was probably because Prince Jade was frightened by the old eunuch saying that Qin Xin had returned, and he knocked something over.

Shen Ji's eyes were already red with anger. He stepped forward and bent down to help Qin Jiao up.

He didn't expect that His Majesty would not even bother to put on a show and told Qin Jiao his purpose directly.

Jiaojiao must be very disappointed. Her father treated her like an object and disposed of her at will.

Indeed, Yu Wanggang's words made Qin Jiao's face pale and her eyes dim.

When she saw Shen Ji, her eyes turned slightly red, but she didn't cry. She just choked and spoke in a low voice.

"Shen Ji, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I..."

I can't marry you.

Qin Jiao pursed her lips and couldn't say this.

How much he wanted to marry her, and he did so much for her, but she couldn't even keep their marriage.

She's going to break her promise...

Qin Jiao closed her eyes, swallowed the pain, and looked at the little general in tears who grew up with her, protected her and loved her countless times.

His heart ached, and he began to cry in a hoarse voice.

"Shen Ji, we——"

Before he could finish the words "call off the marriage", he was interrupted by a person who walked up to him lightly.

"Well, interrupt me."

Qin Xin felt that she had arrived at a perfect time, just in time to save a pair of hard-working lovers. But before she could even start to like the couple, she heard the "female lead" open her mouth, looking like she was about to say goodbye and break up. The tone was so sad that she couldn't bear it, so she had to interrupt.

She stood on the steps, squatted down, folded her hands on her knees, and her bright eyes were full of curiosity and friendly smile.

This smile immediately caught Qin Jiao's eyes.

It made her stunned.

"you are?"

Qin Jiao looked at Qin Xin politely without taking too long to examine her, but Qin Xin admired this beauty who was as beautiful as a lotus blooming in pure water and an orchid emerging from the world, just like her back and voice.

She is like orchid but with the backbone of bamboo.

Qin Xin took a liking to this sister at first sight.

She extended her hand towards Qin Jiao: "Let me introduce myself. I am Qin Xin, your...seventh sister, and also the Queen of Chen State."

Qin Xin? Seventh sister...

Qin Jiao's eyes widened, and she slightly opened her lips, very surprised.

He couldn't help but look at Shen Ji beside him and asked him silently.

Shen Ji nodded at her. Ever since the young man saw her, his eyes could no longer look at anyone else.

After getting Shen Ji's answer, Qin Jiao covered her lips with a handkerchief, her eyes flashing.

He couldn't help but put his hands gently on Qin Xin's shoulders and touched her, as if trying to identify the temperature of a living person.

She had tears in her eyes.

"You, you're still alive, good, really good."

Qin Xin could see that it was not the excitement that her survival could save the couple, but the genuine joy that her sister was alive.

For a moment, Qin Xin's desire to watch the fun faded away completely.

At this moment, she felt the magic of physical blood relationship, and when she saw Qin Jiao, she felt close to her.

Seeing Qin Jiao so happy that she was alive, she felt a kind of emotion spontaneously——

This sister is a good person, I will protect her!
