The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4326 Qin Rui Emperor

"Oh, your majesty." Shuanglu hesitated a little and said in a deep voice, "I found that Liu Suhan seemed to have some subtle scars on her body. These scars should have been left recently. With her not-so-strong cultivation and self-healing, I estimate that they were left about ten days ago."

"Ten days?"

Qin Yun seemed to be thinking: "Isn't that the day when I led the army to attack Feiyu Sect? Wu Chengxi died on that day."

Shuanglu said in a serious tone: "That's right, Your Majesty. So I suspect that the injuries on Liu Suhan's body were caused by Wu Yi, and she is not a fellow disciple of Feiyu Sect at all. She did not want to suffer inhuman torture anymore, so she chose to anger Your Majesty and end her painful captivity."

"But she probably never thought that Daxia would treat her so well and leave her a chance to live."

If the facts are really as Shuanglu said, then Qin Yun's decision to leave Liu Suhan alive was a very correct one.

Not only the secret of the black feather fan, but also many things about the holy world and even the extremely cold region in the north will be answered one by one.

Qin Yun's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Well, I will order you to build trust with Liu Suhan. I don't care whether the two of you are sincere or not, but you must tell me everything Liu Suhan knows."

"Frost Dew obeys the order!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the bedroom was pushed open. Xiao Yuxiang walked forward slowly and frowned when she noticed Shuanglu's presence. "Your Majesty, did I disturb you?"

Qin Yun waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Queen, just speak up if you have anything to say."

Xiao Yuxiang's eyes wandered between the two of them, and then she said something shocking: "Your Majesty, do you need me to sleep with you? It's been a long time since I last went to the harem, and I miss your Majesty."

Frost Lu didn't know anything about matters between men and women. After hearing what Xiao Yuxiang said, her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She bowed hurriedly and retreated, and in a flash she was a hundred miles away from the bedroom.

Seeing her so flustered, Xiao Yuxiang snickered and said, "As expected of a daughter of a sect, she is very strict."

Qin Yun stepped forward and gently stroked Xiao Yuxiang's shoulders, asking curiously, "Tell me, Queen, why did you come to see me? It's definitely not as simple as sleeping with me."

Based on Qin Yun's understanding of the queen, on a day like the celebration banquet, she would definitely be keeping an eye on the soldiers of Da Xia, and would not have the time to mention anything about sleeping with the queen. Moreover, Da Xia's national fortune was surging and growing day by day, so she would not come to disturb them out of boredom.

Xiao Yuxiang knew that she couldn't hide it from Qin Yun, so she said softly, "Your Majesty, now that Qin Rui has been training hard for several years, it's time for him to lead the troops to war. He is the crown prince after all, and it's ridiculous for him to sit in the imperial capital all day and enjoy the fruits of others' labor." "Oh?" Qin Yun's eyes flashed with inspiration, "Did Qin Rui volunteer, or did you, as a mother, just couldn't stand it anymore? Or maybe something went wrong with Emperor Qin."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuxiang took a breath of cold air, took the initiative to step forward and pulled Qin Yun to the side of the bed.

As she helped Qin Yun change his clothes, she murmured, "Your Majesty, can you please not use your eyes that can see through people's minds on me? You can see through my thoughts at a glance. It's meaningless."

Qin Yun laughed loudly, picked up the beauty and carried her to the bed: "Qin Rui and Emperor Qin are as dear to me as the palms and backs of my hands. Who appreciated Emperor Qin? Tell me."

Xiao Yuxiang sighed lightly, pushed and stood up, and said in a slightly unhappy tone: "If it were someone else, I would definitely not say anything, but Emperor Qin and Old Feng have a good personal relationship. It seems that he is going to take him to the battle this time. If others hear it, they would think that Emperor Qin is the prince."

Qin Yun knew very well that there would definitely be a fight for the crown prince position between Qin Rui and Emperor Qin. He would not favor anyone, but he would never allow the crown prince to bring shame to the Great Xia Empire. The fight between the two would depend entirely on their own means. No matter who they tried to win over or who they wanted to befriend, Qin Yun would not intervene.

Now that Xiao Yuxiang specifically mentioned it, it seemed that it was that initial encounter that planted the seed in her heart.

After all, as the heir of a country, Qin Yun had to give him this privilege: "Tell me, when do you plan to let Qin Rui go to war, and who do you plan to follow? Xiao Jian or me."

Seeing Qin Yun's relenting, Xiao Yuxiang was overjoyed, and responded to Qin Yun's actions with a smile, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as they can protect Qin Rui's safety. He has just arrived at the front line and there are still many things he doesn't understand, so I hope Your Majesty can give him more advice."

"Okay, then let him go to the front line with the Fourth Army and fight for a while. I will ask Long Xiao to protect him."

Qin Yun said calmly, causing Xiao Yuxiang to jump up from the bed in an instant: "What? Your Majesty, do you plan to let Qin Rui fight directly on the front line, or follow the generals of the four armies!" "That's right." Qin Yun nodded in response: "If you really want Qin Rui to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince and win this battle for the crown prince, don't be pretentious, but let him truly experience the cruelty of the fight."

It's not that Xiao Yuxiang didn't understand the reason, but Qin Rui's foundation was still shallow. At best, he was only at the level of the Supreme Dao. He had not yet learned the way of wielding a sword and the Star Sword Technique. His comprehension of the Great Dao was even more dispensable. Even with Qin Yun's help, it would take several years for him to keep up with the pace of the Great Xia soldiers.

The holy world is different from the small world. It is more cruel and unpredictable. Qin Rui might have been able to gain a foothold at the beginning, but now he still has a long way to go if he wants all his subjects to submit to him.

Sending Qin Rui to follow the four army generals into battle was already a sign of Qin Yun's favoritism. With his instructions, the four army generals would not let him be harmed even at the risk of their lives.

Xiao Yuxiang hesitated and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, I have one last request. Can you let Qin Rui and the four armies start with a small sect expedition?"

Qin Yun chuckled and said, "Of course. After the Great Xia soldiers are ready, I plan to head to the sect in the northern extreme cold zone. Qin Rui and Qin Di still need to be tempered. I will make the decision when the time comes."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuxiang's heart finally settled down, and she breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the grudge in her heart.

Recalling the first time they met outside the palace, Emperor Qin dismissed himself completely with just two sentences, which was enough to prove how cunning he was. If Qin Rui wanted to fight with him now, he was probably still not ready.

Qin Yun was busy with battles to improve the strength of the Great Xia nation and had no time to care about the harem and bloodline inheritance. As the queen, she naturally had to fulfill her duties.

But Emperor Qin was an illegitimate child after all, and compared with Qin Rui, who now sits firmly on the throne of crown prince, his bloodline is far from satisfactory.

The strengths and weaknesses of the two were hard to estimate, and Xiao Yuxiang secretly made up her mind to follow Qin Yun's instructions and not help each other for the sake of the future of the Great Xia Empire. However, it was far from easy to keep things even. Xiao Yuxiang stood up and looked around the bedroom, saying with resentment, "Your Majesty, if I cannot be fair, I hope Your Majesty can stand up and enlighten me."
