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

"You...you actually know?"

Qin Jiao held the hilt of the knife and her eyes quickly turned red.

There is shame, pain, and determination.

She gripped the dagger and dropped the tray, spilling soup all over the floor and shattering china.

"Seventh sister!"

Qin Jiao wanted to hurt herself, but was stopped by Qin Xin.

Qin Xin used a little more skill and the dagger in Qin Jiao's hand fell to the ground.

"Did the queen force you?"

Qin Xin looked at Qin Jiao, who was about to sit on the ground after exerting all her strength, and calmly supported her, saying as if she saw through everything.

Hearing this, Qin Jiao covered her face with her hands and sobbed sadly.

When she heard about the assassin just now, the seventh sister immediately blocked her behind her and left her back... She even saw through her purpose, but did not expose her first, but sent the guards away.

How could she be worthy of such a good seventh sister?

Qin Jiao bit her lip, choked, and kept saying "I'm sorry".

It makes people feel uncomfortable when they hear it.

Qin Xin released the hand that was holding her arm and patted her back gently.

"I know you won't hurt me, and I also know you must have been forced."

Seeing that Qin Jiao was still blaming herself and feeling ashamed, Qin Xin spoke frankly.

"I do not blame you."

Qin Xin knew that if Qin Jiao wanted to hurt her, the best time to do so would be when she was hiding behind her. But Qin Jiao didn't do that.

Qin Xin also concluded that Qin Jiao had no intention of taking out the dagger and stabbing her, and even when she was exposed, she thought of hurting herself first.

Perhaps, he heard that there was an assassin outside, so he might as well take the opportunity to pretend to be injured by the assassin so that he could report to the person who ordered it.

Tsk, I’m such a smart guy who’s well-versed in novels—Qin Xin felt secretly proud of herself.

"You don't blame me... I regret it even more. You treated me so well, but I... I'm sorry, Seventh Sister, I..."

"Ah, well, I'll blame you first. Tell me, how did the queen coerce you? Let's discuss how to coerce you back and take revenge, and I'll forgive you."

Qin Jiao raised her red eyes and was stunned for a moment.

This... doesn't it mean that I don't blame her?

But being forced to go back... Qin Jiao turned pale, bit her lip, and hesitated.

Qin Xin couldn't bear to see such a beautiful woman cry, so he raised his sleeves and wiped Qin Jiao's tears.

"Don't cry, if someone sees you, they will misunderstand me and think I'm bullying you."

Qin Xin winked playfully as she spoke: "Especially General Shen - I can't beat him."

Qin Jiao burst into laughter at Qin Xin's lively expression.

The heavy mood finally improved a little.

However, she soon lowered her eyes and said in embarrassment.

"The queen threatened my mother and asked me to disfigure you..."

Disfigurement? Qin Xin's lips twitched. Can you be more open-minded? Is it not enough to just disfigure the person and silence him?

She patted Qin Jiao's back calmly.

"Where is your mother now? Don't worry, we will go and save her."

By the way, let’s make Queen Jade unhappy.

Qin Jiao calmed herself down and was about to speak when the door was pushed open.

"My apologies, Fifth Princess. Someone just saw an assassin coming towards you. I am here to search for you."

The leader of the imperial guards, along with a group of people, were standing at the door, staring at him eagerly, ready to rush in and search at any time.

He said he was offended, but his actions were extremely rude.

Qin Jiao quickly cleared her throat, walked to the bead curtain, and spoke in a slightly cold tone.

"I didn't see any assassins. Please go somewhere else."

"Your Majesty has been assassinated, and we are following orders - I hope the princess will not embarrass us."

Qin Xin raised his foot calmly and kicked the dagger under the cabinet on one side.

"what sound?"

Hearing the voice of the imperial guards outside, Qin Xin asked coldly:

"I was so scared by you that I knocked over the soup bowl. What? Do you want to come in and sweep the room for this queen?"

The imperial guards naturally knew that Queen Chen also lived in the Handan Palace, so they deliberately only asked the Fifth Princess just now.

Hearing Qin Xin's harsh voice, the people at the door looked at each other.

In the end, only the commander of the imperial guards had to step in.

"I hope Queen Chen will cooperate. Regardless of whether we can find the assassin or not, I will clean up the floor of your house for you. Do you think... can you cooperate like this?"

It seems that Prince Jade was frightened by the assassin and made such a big fuss.

Qin Xin was about to let him go when she suddenly smelled a strange smell...

"Tick-tock" a drop of warm liquid fell on the back of her raised hand.

She lowered her eyes and looked.

is blood……

Qin Xin got goose bumps all over her body, her breathing quickened, and she subconsciously looked up.

How should I put it? At this moment, there was inexplicably a bit of the atmosphere of a horror movie.

But with the Imperial Guards gathered outside, she felt that—

If she really encountered a ghost, it wouldn't be looking for her.

I looked up, but saw no one.

But the blood that had just dripped from the beam onto the back of my hand was still warm and could not be faked.

Perhaps the assassin had come.

It’s hard to say whether he left or not.

Qin Xin thought about it. Now that she had encountered this situation, should she do something about it or not?

In less than a second, she chose to ignore it.

Just act according to the circumstances. If the assassin is one of "our own people" and he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself and didn't inform us in advance, then let's just consider it as a heroic sacrifice (not really); if it's a dog-eat-dog drama, then don't worry about it.

"Queen Chen? Are you listening?"

"Oh, go ahead and search, but remember - if you can't find the assassin and mess up my belongings, I will definitely settle the score with you."

Putting his temper in front of others, Qin Xin sat on the couch by the window, with his back to them, and let them search.

When the commander of the imperial guards came in, Sui Shou also came in with his men.

An attitude ready to confront at any time.

In this tense atmosphere, Qin Xin even had the leisure to call Qin Jiao to come and sit down.

"I don't know how badly the Jade King is injured, ah."

Seeing that there was no dagger on the ground, Qin Jiao looked at Qin Xin, who sighed calmly and talked about the stabbing of King Yu.

Don't listen to Qin Xin's sigh, because the look in her eyes is full of watching a show, how could she be worried at all?

Sui Shou stepped forward and whispered a few words to Qin Xin.

"Huh? What? Hurt 'there'?"

Qin Xin was so excited that she raised her voice. Her tone and expression were so strange that even Qin Jiao could not help but become curious.

Well, where is it?

The imperial guards in charge of the search subconsciously paused and pricked up their ears to listen to what happened next.

But I only heard Queen Chen sighing leisurely:

"That's really a pity. This... must not be made public. Keep it a secret."

It made people confused, but also more curious.

Qin Jiao couldn't guess, but these grown men of the Imperial Guards somehow guessed in an indescribable direction.

Your Majesty, is it possible that you have injured your vitals?

This……

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but there is no assassin in the palace. I will go somewhere else to catch him."

Qin Xin responded calmly: "Oh."

Is the assassin really not in this hall anymore?

After letting the group of people leave without changing their expressions, Qin Xin said to Qin Jiao -

"Fifth sister, our father has been assassinated. As a child, we should go visit him, right?"

Qin Jiao, who was worried about her mother, was stunned for a moment.

Qiu Shui's eyes were full of confusion.

He nodded.

"What are you waiting for?"

Qin Xin stood up and extended his hand to Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao felt ashamed and didn't dare to shake hands.

Qin Xin, who was impatient, grabbed her hand and pulled her out.

If Qin Jiao had any intention of harming her, Qin Xin would not hold her hand and leave her back.

"But……"

"Don't say but. As His Majesty's concubine, your mother should also be present."

After hearing this, Qin Jiao finally understood Qin Xin's intention.

She quickly quickened her pace to keep up with Qin Xin.

However, Qin Jiao was still curious and asked Qin Xin in a low voice.

"Where exactly is father injured? Why do those imperial guards look at him with such strange expressions?"

And you, your reaction is also exaggerated, Qin Jiao added in her heart.

Qin Xin curved her eyes.

"Ah, not the upper body anyway."

If it's not the upper body, then it must be the lower body...

Qin Jiao was so shocked that she gasped, covered her mouth with her hands, and her face turned red.

Then what else do they need to ask for?

Qin Xin's eyes were particularly bright at night, filled with the evil look of a man who likes to have fun.

"This is very worrying. We need to check the extent of the injury."

——Why not set off some firecrackers and celebrate the New Year in advance?
