The emperor's plan: to rule the world

257 - No need to blame yourself
Tan Jinnian suddenly raised his head and looked at her in disbelief.

The crimson lips trembled, unable to utter a word.

She obviously knew everything, why did she still put up with him until now, even at the expense of playing this scene with him?

Gu Qingyi smiled: "Have you never thought about any things that happened in this palace that could be hidden from the shadow guards of the Boundless Palace?"

The shadow guards guarding every part of the imperial palace are almost everywhere. If they don't move, there is nothing that cannot be found out as long as they take action.

Besides, even without the Boundless Palace, wouldn't she know everything?Even if the news from the Boundless Palace is cut off, as long as she wants to know, she will always find a way to know.

Qin Jinnian didn't answer, but looked at the graceful and noble empress in front of him, and asked tremblingly, "Why?"

Why...you have to be so cruel to him?

Because of the subjugation of the country, so he can only be slaughtered by others, and he can't even plan for himself?
Why be so cruel?

It's just a request to reduce or exempt donations. Why are you so merciless, even launching a war without hesitation?
Gu Qingyi looked at him with pity, and after a while, said lightly: "Come here, take him down."

The shadow guard waiting outside the hall came in and took him away.

It seemed that he only realized it at this time. Tan Jinnian struggled and resisted with all his strength: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

Qin Shu's brows and eyes were filled with coldness, and a ray of true energy shot out from his sleeve, sealing his whole body's acupoints.

He said coldly: "You don't need to send it back to Xiangli Palace, just send it to Ye Ting."

Since he couldn't let it go, let him go and be with his clansmen.

The blood on Tan Jinnian's face faded in an instant, and he was as pale as paper, and he was pushed down without any resistance.

Gu Qingyi stood up and walked towards the bathtub behind the bedroom: "Get ready for the bath."

Qin Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes."

……

Lying on the jade in the pool, Qin Shu knelt and sat in the pool, pressing the acupuncture points on her shoulders and back with her slender and powerful fingers, trying to relieve her fatigue as much as possible.

Gu Qingyi closed her eyes slightly, and felt that her hands were pressing on her back, causing a sore and numb feeling where she passed. Occasionally, when her hands were pressing on some important acupuncture points, the force would be much relieved.

Gu Qingyi silently looked at the petals floating in the pond, and suddenly remembered that this was the first time she had exposed her weakness to Qin Shu so unguardedly.

Qin Shu's beautiful and slender hands can hold a pen and play the piano, hold a sword to kill people, or be used to serve her.

If he gave birth to a little bit of eccentricity, just a little bit of strength with the hand on the Dazhui point on the back of her neck at this moment would be enough to break her spine and make her a complete cripple.

Gu Qingyi closed her eyes, feeling that she shouldn't be thinking so wildly.

How could Qin Shu do that?

Even if the sky falls and the earth crumbles, it is impossible for him to betray her.

After flicking the steaming water in the pool, Gu Qingyi said lightly, "Where should the inside be hidden?"

Qin Shu was startled, and stopped what he was doing.

Gu Qingyi turned her head to look at him, but saw him pursing his lips, and said in a low voice: "He is the shadow guard of the Boundless Palace, and he usually guards near the Lenggong Palace."

Gu Qingyi frowned.

Qin Shu said, "I...haven't paid attention to him before."

Gu Qingyi was silent for a long time, watching him quietly: "This is not your fault, don't blame yourself so much."
