The First Tyrant of Daxia

The Sihai Restaurant was bustling with people.

Qin Yun and Si Qing were protected by the Jinyiwei. They walked around the corridor and came to the third floor of the restaurant very low-key.

This place has been cleared.

Walking up, there were many special masters standing with straight bodies and strong muscles.

They are all well-educated and not rough or rude.

Qin Yun secretly sighed, as expected, none of the aristocratic families are easy to deal with, and this guard is almost as good as the imperial guards.

"Jing girl!"

A deep male voice came.

Si Qing ran over: "Uncle!"

The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, which was very touching.

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and observed. Situ Lin was seven feet tall. He was not strong, but not thin either.

He had a beard, was dressed in blue brocade, and had a priceless jade belt around his waist.

He is about forty years old, and one can see traces of time and a hint of depth on his face!

This Situ Lin is not simple!

Qin Yun commented in his heart.

Then he waved his hand, signaling for people to disperse and not disturb their reunion.

As if sensing something, Situ Lin raised his head and looked at Qin Yun deeply with his deep and shrewd eyes.

Then he saluted very dignifiedly, as if the contradiction between imperial power and the aristocratic families did not exist, and his facial expression was extremely impressive.

"I, Situ Lin, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Qin Yun approached, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Master Situ, how do you know that I am the emperor's?"

Situ Lin quickly came out of the sadness of the reunion and said, "Your Majesty is so heroic and brave, there is no other in the world. It's not difficult for me to recognize you."

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying anything.

It can be seen that Si Qing and Situ Lin have a lot to talk about.

He took the initiative to say: "You and your niece have been reunited after a long time, so go to the side and chat about the past. When you are done, come back to see me."

Hearing this, Si Qing's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Situ Lin.

He smiled, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I am very grateful."

Qin Yun just smiled, appearing to be very open-minded, and then walked to the side, found a table to sit down, and asked someone to order some wine and food.

Seeing this, Situ Lin was surprised. How could His Majesty be so humble?

Shouldn't he threaten and speak coldly to me when he sees me?

But his carefree and relaxed state made people a little confused.

Then he took Si Qing to the other side of the third floor.

Situ Lin frowned, revealing deep wrinkles, and spoke with concern in his tone.

"Jing girl, didn't you die in the fire in the palace?"

"Why are you living in the palace again?"

"Tell me the truth, did the emperor take you by force because of your beauty?!"

Hearing this, Si Qing's pretty face panicked and she quickly signaled him to speak in a lower voice.

"Uncle, what are you talking about!"

"That fire was fake. It was a lie that Your Majesty and Prince Shunxun told to the world."

Situ Lin's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean, what kind of lie are you telling?"

"Is it because Qin Ci is afraid of his brother and dares not say anything when his wife is taken away?"

"Humph, this wimp!"

Si Qing smiled bitterly, and seeing that he was getting more and more off track, she immediately explained.

"Uncle, it's not like that."

"It's a long story. In fact, I haven't had a good life these years. King Shunxun has never cared about me. He has never even touched me..."

"..."

"Then, His Majesty changed my name to Si Qing and let me live in the palace temporarily."

After hearing this, Situ Lin was stunned for a long time before slowly accepting it.

A hint of coldness flashed across his experienced eyes, and then dimness.

"Oh!" He sighed painfully.

"Jing girl, blame your uncle for not taking good care of you. You went to Youzhou and suffered so much injustice. This Shunxun King is so hateful!"

"If I, your uncle, was in charge of the Situ clan, I would definitely not agree to your marriage with the prince!"

He clenched his fists and banged them.

There is a sense of majesty from a superior!

Si Qing smiled bitterly, and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter anymore. I have forgotten everything that happened before."

"Grudges and grievances are all in vain, and what is destined to happen will eventually happen."

Hearing this, Situ Lin felt extremely distressed.

He treated Si Qing as his own flesh and blood, and even cared for her even more because Si Qing lost both her parents when she was young.

"Jing girl...oh no, I should call you Qing'er now. Come home with your uncle later!"

"King Shunxun doesn't want you, but your uncle wants you. I will definitely find a good husband for you in the future!"

Si Qing smiled bitterly. With her identity and background, is there anyone in the world who dares to take her?

Besides, she didn't have that idea.

She gathered her hair together, like a quiet lotus, as if after going through all that, she was now more open-minded about everything.

"Uncle, let's talk later."

"This time I wrote to you and asked you to come, but it was actually for His Majesty."

"He wants to see you... something important."

Situ Lin's eyes flickered. The emperor actually invited him to the imperial capital, and at a time when the conflict between imperial power and the aristocratic families was so intense!

He already had some vague guesses in his mind.

He turned his eyes and looked at Si Qing, saying hesitantly.

"Qing'er, tell me the truth, are you and the emperor...?" He hinted at something.

Si Qing's cheeks flushed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle, you really think too much."

"Your Majesty is my benefactor, so I helped write the letter."

"And... His Majesty wants to clean up the family, and I'm worried that you'll be stuck in it and it will be hard for you to get out of it, so I want to remind you to see if you have multiple options."

"Your Majesty promised me that no matter whether the talks go smoothly or not, I will not embarrass you."

"Uncle, please think carefully. His Majesty is extremely capable. He knows everything about the family!" Si Qing opened her beautiful eyes wide and said in a very serious manner.

After spending many days together, she was in awe of Qin Yun.

Seeing this, Situ Lin was not very surprised.

But he looked at Si Qing with a strange look. He seriously suspected that Si Qing was speaking for the emperor so much, did that mean they already had that kind of relationship?

After all, everyone knew that the emperor was lustful.

"..."

On the other side, Qin Yun leaned against the window, looking at the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital.

Even leisurely enough to peel peanuts.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to eavesdrop? These people cannot find me."

Qin Yun shook his head: "Mr. Feng, please don't bother me."

"I gave Situ Lin a chance, but I didn't beg him. If he doesn't cherish the opportunity, there's no need for me to force him."

"Can……"

Just as Mr. Feng was about to speak, the door creaked open.

The sound of footsteps was heard, and Situ Lin and the other person came out.

Qin Yun looked over.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my impoliteness." Situ Lin bowed.

Qin Yun waved his hand: "It's okay, come and sit down."

"Yes." Situ Lin didn't act pretentiously and sat down directly.

Si Qing didn't sit down. After all, she was a lady from a wealthy family and had very good manners. She served tea and water on the side.

The two of them sat down.

The Jinyiwei and Situ Lin's men retreated far away and took control of the third floor of the restaurant. Not even a fly could get close!

"Si Qing told you everything just now, right?" Qin Yun went straight to the point.

Situ Lin stroked his beard and took a deep look at the young emperor in front of him. This was the first time they met, and he was very surprised!

Your Majesty is too easy-going, and it's hard to see through him.

Such people are either not talented or have absolute confidence and courage!

"Yes, Qing'er told me everything, but I don't quite understand what your majesty means."

"What do you mean by doing things for you?"

"Haven't the nine great families always been serving the Emperor of Xia?" He seemed extremely cautious and calm.
