The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 5 The mastermind behind the scenes
The slender fingers of her right hand lightly slid across the gauze in the palm of her hand, the faint light disappeared in her palm, and the corners of Gu Qingyi's mouth slightly raised. What satisfied her most about this dream was the breakthrough of the mental method on the ancient scrolls.

It's just a pity that the wound hasn't healed yet.

Looking across at the silent man kneeling beside her, Gu Qingyi paused for a moment, the corners of her mouth completely disappeared.

With this man's current appearance, she really couldn't associate him with the invincible God of War who commanded the three armies in her dream.

Or keep it by your side and train it slowly.

Sensing that her eyes were on him, Qin Shu raised his eyes in surprise, and met her eyes.

"Xiyu, send an order to Huaqing Pool to prepare for bathing."

"Yes."

Hou Zaiyu outside the hall respectfully took orders, then turned and left.

Qin Shu lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty."

"stand up."

Qin Shu stared at her blankly, not sure if it was his illusion, but her attitude towards him seemed to be a lot gentler invisibly.

Standing up obediently, Qin Shu hesitated for a long time, and finally insisted on an answer: "Why doesn't Your Majesty continue to pursue it?"

"Because it's not necessary."

Gu Qingyi sat down on the couch, looked at his tall and straight figure, and said lightly: "I have ordered the four kings to come to the capital, and since the assassin said that King Xuanwu ordered him to assassinate me, I will hand him over to you at that time." King Xuanwu is."

Qin Shu pursed his lips slightly: "Your Majesty doesn't believe his confession either, does he?"

He hesitated for a moment, walked to her side and knelt down, pressed her ankle lightly with moderate strength, and said, "Does Your Majesty already know who is behind the scenes?"

Gu Qingyi leaned on the soft couch and did not speak.

The ground was covered with a thick velvet blanket, which was nothing unbearable for a man who was frequently punished by her to kneel down on the iron chain. Even though she knew he was suffering now, Gu Qingyi had no intention of letting him rest at all.

Some pain, bear with it and get used to it.

Seeing the man's obedient appearance, she couldn't help but think of the desperate and tragic scene of the man in the dream. She was his monarch, aloofly ruling his life and death, and his hell and heaven were just a thought of hers.

"The mastermind behind the scenes..." A cold voice rang in his ears, with traces of meaning he couldn't understand, Gu Qingyi lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Believe it or not, someone will participate in the performance tomorrow morning that you neglected to guard." , with bad intentions?"

Qin Shu raised his head suddenly, the light in his eyes flickered.

The Master of the Cangmang Palace was at the emperor's side, taking on the responsibility of guarding, and what he was guarding was the last line of defense for the emperor's safety. This time, His Majesty's assassination, he was indeed to blame.

Having said that, but...

Bad intentions...

No one can afford such a crime.

How dare they?
How dare you put such a crime on him?

"His Majesty……"

Gu Qingyi leaned over, turning a blind eye to the anxiety hidden in his eyes, twisted his long hair and wrapped it between his fingers, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "Qin Shu, you are only guilty if I say you are guilty, if I didn't say..." She spoke slowly, her tone light and calm: "Even if everyone in the world condemns you to death, you are also innocent here, understand?"

Qin Shu looked at her, the girl's clear eyes were cold, like a cold pool that hadn't melted for a thousand years, but it was reflected in his eyes as if there were green lotus blooming, he asked in a strange way: "Then if it means that the witness is guilty? The person in charge is Young Master Chu, will His Majesty trust you in this way?"
