The First Tyrant of Daxia

The next second, Su Yan suddenly looked at Murong Shunhua behind Qin Yun and was slightly surprised for a moment. She was so beautiful, so fairy-like!

She immediately changed the subject: "Meetings to Madam Murong."

He also performed a great ceremony.

Qin Yun wanted to ask something, but it was not a good idea to interrupt at this time.

Murong Shunhua's pretty face was slightly surprised: "Do you know me?"

Su Yan behaved very appropriately: "I heard that there is a queen in the palace who is extremely beautiful and gorgeous, like a fairy from the Ninth Heaven."

"It's just that I disappeared for a long time and just came back recently."

"My humble guess is that it is you, Madam Murong."

When they first met, Murong Shunhua had a good first impression of her and said, "I've heard of you, too."

After saying that, she retreated behind Qin Yun.

Even though she was the most beautiful and charming female headmaster in the world, she knew that she could not surpass her own man.

See the two of them say hello.

Qin Yun frowned: "It's not safe recently. If someone threatens you, they must want to attack you. You must return to the palace with me!"

"You're not even fit to go out!"

Su Yan's face tightened slightly. She was very touched by Qin Yun's concern and wanted to rush into Qin Yun's arms and act coquettishly and rely on him, but she had her own difficulties!

After hesitating, he said, "Your Majesty, OK, I'll listen to you."

"But not today."

Qin Yun was suspicious: "Why?"

Su Yan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said firmly: "Anyway, it's not possible today... The Commerce Department has a lot of things to do, and I want to achieve more results before you sacrifice to the heaven."

"It's not in vain, the title of the only female official."

What he said makes sense.

The so-called offering sacrifice to heaven was what the Ministry of Rites proposed after Xiao Yuxiang became pregnant with a legitimate son. It had been done in every generation to thank heaven and earth for blessing the second emperor of Great Xia, Mianyang.

Qin Yun also agreed.

This day is very important, as the whole country will be watching. If you make some achievements in advance and include them in the sacrificial text when offering sacrifices to heaven, it will be considered a great achievement.

But Qin Yun and Murong Shunhua looked at each other, and they both had a tacit understanding and were a little suspicious.

She had clearly handed over her work, so why was she going to deal with official business now?

"No, what's more important, safety or official business?!" Qin Yun glared at him forcefully, with a hint of anger and scolding.

Su Yan was slightly startled. It was the first time she was scolded by him like this.

After a moment of silence, she bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, can you indulge me just this once?"

Seeing this, Qin Yun's heart sank. He was sure that Su Yan was hiding something!

An idea suddenly came to his mind, and then he changed the subject.

"OK then."

"Aunt Su, you go and do your work first. I will accompany Shunhua to relax and then return to the palace."

"How about sending someone to take you to the palace tomorrow?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Yun in surprise.

Su Yan was especially stunned for a moment. She didn't expect his attitude to change 180 degrees.

But she couldn't care less. Bailong was in danger and the incident was caused by her. She didn't want to drag down her companions.

"Okay, thank you Your Majesty."

Su Yan's emotions fluctuated greatly at this moment, and her voice even trembled slightly.

Take me into the palace tomorrow?

But I may not be able to keep the appointment!

"I'll take my leave." She bowed.

He suppressed his emotions, glanced at Qin Yun, and turned away.

The moment she turned around, Aunt Su's eyes turned red, and then she walked away quickly.

Looking at her back.

Murong Shunhua frowned slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, why do you want her to leave?"

"It's bizarre and dangerous."

"Besides...she has something on her mind, something very serious."

Elder Feng also stepped forward and frowned, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"There has been no news about the White Lotus Sect for a long time. The core members have disappeared without a trace. Today, Master Su Yan was threatened again. Could this be related?"

Qin Yun looked deep, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice.

"It's not that they are related, but this arm was made by the White Lotus Sect!"

"Among all the merchants in the world, no one has the guts to threaten my woman right under my nose!"

"Only the White Lotus Sect can make sense. First it was Lin Feng, and then it was this hand..."

"Humph!!"

The heavy hum was like rolling thunder, filled with murderous intent.

"Then why let her go? There's sincerity in her eyes towards you. As a woman, I always feel that she..." Murong paused here, frowning slightly.

Qin Yun said: "I have already noticed that she has problems and worries, but I didn't ask too much."

"If you force her to ask, she won't tell you."

"Rather than this, it is better to let her go. This way, I can figure out everything that happened."

Mr. Feng was startled. "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Qin Yun's eyes narrowed: "Go, let someone follow Aunt Su, don't interfere in anything she does, just follow her."

"Report her whereabouts to me at any time."

"She must have something going on today, or tonight!"

"Yes!" Mr. Feng replied, and then quickly went to call for people.

Qin Yun was in no mood to return to the palace, so he took Murong Shunhua to the Ministry of Justice and asked about what happened in front of the Su Mansion today.

The officials from the Ministry of Justice were so frightened that they staggered and knelt down to ask for mercy, and then explained in detail the incident of the severed hand today.

Qin Yun even personally checked the severed hand and found it was indeed covered with scars, indicating that the person had been severely beaten before it was severed.

And after reading through a large number of files, no one in the imperial capital has had their hands broken recently!

Within an hour.

Under Qin Yun's pressure, the Ministry of Justice and the Zongzheng Temple conducted a thorough investigation of all merchants who might be dissatisfied with the Commerce Department.

But nothing was found!

After investigation, no one had a motive for committing the crime.

And no trace of the White Lotus Sect was found in the imperial capital.

At dusk, the Royal Guards reported that Su Yan had not left the city and was indeed handling official business...

Things are becoming confusing!

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell there was something wrong with Su Yan's performance!

Time passes minute by minute.

The nights in summer come very late, but they are always gloomy and heavy, making people feel heavy in their hearts.

Qin Yun was standing by the pond, listening to the croaking of frogs, with the joyful sounds of thousands of lights in his ears, but he was like a stone sculpture.

Murong Shunhua approached quietly, hugged her from behind with both hands, her black hair fluttering, and said softly: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much."

"Su Yan is always under your nose."

"You can intervene at any time, no matter how big or small the matter is."

Qin Yun came back to his senses, stroked her jade hand, and smiled with his dry lips.

Instead of answering the question, he asked.

"On the day of the Heavenly Sacrifice, you should come with us and wear the imperial concubine's dress."

Murong Shunhua squinted her eyes, and a smile appeared on her fairy-like face: "Do I need you to tell me? Even if this master hates vulgarity, the family tree must be included in the royal family!"

"The form doesn't matter, but the status is still important!"

"Otherwise, after I die..."

Having said this, she suddenly froze, inadvertently touching upon the most bitter thing in her heart.

The almond-shaped eyes dimmed quickly for a moment.

Yes, it seems that I don’t have much time left…

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "What if I die in the future?"

She came back to her senses, forced a smile and pretended nothing had happened: "Otherwise, I won't be able to enter your cemetery when I die."

"Nonsense!"

"We still have a long future ahead of us. Once I have stabilized Daxia, I will let people seek immortality. We will never be apart!"

Qin Yun said with a smile, half true and half false.

Hearing this, Murong Shunhua felt even more bitter, with mixed feelings in her heart and her brows drooped.

If she had a choice, why wouldn't she be willing?
