The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 17
"There is no need for singing and dancing."

Gu Qingyi raised her hand and pointed to the corner: "Go and play a piece of music for me."

Looking in the direction of her finger, there is a guqin next to the fiery red coral tree that is half a person tall. Sit down in front of the guqin.

"What does His Majesty want to hear?"

Gu Qingyi looked at Qin Shu, he was a handsome man with clear eyebrows, and he was more handsome than countless men in the world. She looked at him with her cheeks on her hands, and said lightly, "Feng Qiuhuang!"

Qin Shu raised his eyes to look at her in surprise, but met her complacent appearance, and smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The slender fingers gently lifted the strings, and the ethereal sound of the piano sounded melodiously, like fresh rain in the empty mountain, clear and melodious but yet enthusiastic.

This is a Guqin piece about a man courting a woman.

Gu Qingyi leaned on the couch and listened quietly, staring blankly at a certain place as if lost in thought.

Qin Shu once played this piece for her.

But he didn't know.

Never know.

He doesn't know what this piece of music means to him, let alone... what price he has paid for this piece of music.

This song will only remind her over and over again how stupid she is.

Qin Shu looked at her in a daze, as if he suddenly thought of something, paused with his fingertips, and his eyes slowly fell on the strings.

The lingering piano sound gradually became gentle and calm, ethereal like a fairy mist, and like a clear spring in the mountain hitting the rocks in small pieces, tinkling, melodious and clear.

Looking up, the girl who was in a daze on the soft couch was already drowsy after a while.

Qin Shu lowered his eyes to look at the guqin, and a faint smile slowly rose from the corner of his mouth.

The Requiem was taught to him by Her Majesty the Queen herself!

After the song was over, the girl fell into a deep sleep without any resistance. Qin Shu pressed the strings with both hands, and the sound of the piano stopped suddenly.

Slowly got up, walked to the couch, leaned over and carried the girl into the inner hall, Qin Shu washed her by himself, and then carefully placed her on the dragon bed.

Leaning over and gently kissing the girl's forehead, Qin Shu half-kneeled beside the bed, staring at her beautiful and harmless face, but he knew very well in his heart that he had really annoyed Her Majesty the Empress this time.

Using the skills she taught to assassinate her, although this assassination did not cause any harm to her, but considering the empress's extreme strength, it was an absolutely indisputable and irrefutable offense, [-]% unforgivable.

only……

Qin Shu stretched out his hand to caress the blue shadow in front of her eyes, the distress in her eyes came so unexpectedly.

Intense almost overflowing.

If this is the price Her Majesty has to pay for her kindness to him, he would rather Her Majesty still scold him as before.

If it hadn't been reported by the sleeping lady, how would he know that Her Majesty has been having nightmares every night, waking up from profuse sweat every day and night, and keeping her eyes open by the dim lights in the sleeping hall alone until dawn...

But she still does not change her face and goes up and down every day, working on state affairs every day.

She's only 15 years old, and she's just a teenage girl!
How could this not make him feel bad?

After carefully tucking the quilt up for her, Qin Shu flicked up his robe, and knelt down straight at the front of her bed, never taking his eyes off her face.

Tonight, he will always watch over her.
