Chapter 131 Domineering Aura ***
When Jiang Qingyue went out, she ran into Qin Congyu.
It turned out that Qin Congyu had already learned of Qin Jinghao's actions and immediately chased after him. However, due to Qin Jinghao's little tricks, she was delayed for a while and was so anxious that she kept urging the coachman on the way.
Because Qin Xuanyu had looked for him before he left...
"Oh, what brings you here?" Qin Congyu had already heard about the recent events. She was glad that General Gu had returned in time, but she was also worried that something unexpected might happen because of the unforeseen circumstances.
"Of course, I have something I'd like to ask for your help, my elder sister."
"How strange! You actually asked me for help? Tell me about it!" Although she had a good relationship with her younger brother, he always did things his own way, let alone ask her for help.
"I'm sure my elder sister has heard about General Gu's return."
Qin Congyu nodded. A banquet was held at the time, but she did not attend because she accompanied the Empress Dowager to worship Buddha.
"With General Gu gone, the border regions will definitely take action. In addition, with him returning the Tiger Tally, the other side will certainly make some moves." Qin Xuanyu was very certain.
"But this news shouldn't spread that fast, right?" Qin Congyu couldn't help but frown. "Unless..."
Qin Xuanyu nodded. "No one can guarantee that there aren't any hidden agents in the capital. So, General Gu and I have already discussed it, and I will go there in advance, just in case."
"No!" Qin Congyu directly rejected Qin Xuanyu. "Without His Majesty's order, you cannot send troops. He has long wanted to find something to hold against you. If you do so, he will definitely not let you off easily."
It must be said that Qin Congyu had a very good understanding of the emperor.
“However, we cannot risk the lives of the people on the border. If he really…” Qin Xuanyu had already guessed what was going on, “then his reign as emperor would be over!”
Qin Xuanyu closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
How could he not know?
He can't help but start to reflect on whether his initial decision was truly a mistake...
Qin Congyu saw through Qin Xuanyu's thoughts at a glance, because only when he was with her could he let down his guard, be his true self, and be the younger brother who still needed his older sister...
"Xiao Yu." Qin Congyu couldn't help but call out Qin Xuanyu's nickname. For so many years, she hadn't called him that. This one call made both of them feel as if they had returned to the carefree days of their childhood.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I have no choice but to go."
When he first talked to Gu Linsen, Gu Linsen had already made this decision and told him in advance whether he really liked Jiang Qingyue and was willing to cooperate, even if the price might be quite high.
He agreed without hesitation, not only for Jiang Qingyue, but also for the people.
Seeing that Qin Xuanyu was determined, Qin Congyu stopped trying to dissuade him. "Then come here. What is it that you would like to ask your elder sister for help with?"
"With the war in full swing, His Majesty will surely send General Gu to war again to silence public opinion. As for Jiang Qingyue, Qin Jinghao will definitely not miss this opportunity."
This was what he was most worried about before he left.
He knew Jiang Qingyue was cunning, and playing mind games with her would never end well. Besides, she wasn't entirely without the ability to protect herself. In addition, she had the elusive Wuming by her side, as well as the Shadow Blades he had arranged, so at least in terms of safety, he didn't need to worry too much.
However, her enemies are not ordinary people, but royalty. No matter how strong one person is, they can't shake the entire palace. They dare not do anything openly in order to appease her, but behind the scenes, they are definitely making small moves. He was afraid that Jiang Qingyue would not be able to handle it.
"Qingyue?" Qin Congyu was somewhat puzzled. Logically, it should be Gu Linsen and herself who were worried about her, not him, right? What was there to worry about with her younger brother? Unless…
Qin Congyu's eyes lit up, guessing a very unlikely possibility, "You have feelings for that girl Qingyue..."
"Yes, I love her." Qin Xuanyu expressed his true feelings directly without any attempt to hide them.
After the initial shock, Qin Congyu was overjoyed.
No matter how many beauties the emperor sent him or how many rich young ladies she introduced him to, he remained unmoved, living like a celibate monk. She and her mother worried that they might never see him get married and have children in this lifetime!
But now, to hear him say that he likes Jiang Qingyue is such a pleasant surprise.
However, she is the daughter of my friend, and this generational relationship is a bit awkward.
"Well, I knew you were being too eager! Don't worry, even if you don't confess, I will still protect Qingyue."
I wonder how happy the Empress Dowager would be if she knew about this! Little did she know, the Empress Dowager already knew.
However, after the initial joy, Qin Congyu was still somewhat worried. "No matter what, you must be careful. Don't forget, Qingyue is here waiting for you to come back."
Qin Xuanyu nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
……
Returning to her senses, Qin Congyu looked at Jiang Qingyue, who was completely unharmed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're alright. I was afraid I was too late!"
*** pulled Jiang Qingyue over and looked her up and down, making sure she wasn't injured before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Qingyue hadn't expected that *** was still thinking of her. "Thank you for your concern, ***!"
"Why are you being so polite with me? Jing Hao didn't do anything to you, did he? Where is he?"
When Qin Congyu saw that Jiang Qingyue had come out alone, he assumed that Qin Jinghao was not there.
Jiang Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then led the maid into the house.
Seeing Qin Jinghao in such a disheveled state on the bed, Qin Congyu could easily guess what was going on, and her anger flared up instantly.
"Well, Qin Jinghao, do you think you're so great just because you're the crown prince? You actually dared to do something like forcibly taking someone into marriage. Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the world?!"
Qin Congyu was a hot-tempered person, and regardless of Qin Jinghao's current state, he pointed at his nose and started cursing.
"Auntie, save me, Auntie! Jiang Qingyue knows sorcery, I can't move, Auntie!" Qin Jinghao saw that it was a witch and quickly asked for help.
"You still have the nerve to ask me for help? How dare you do such a shameless thing? If Qingyue didn't have some ability to protect herself, wouldn't you have succeeded?"
Qin Jinghao, let me tell you, don't think that just because you're the Crown Prince you can do whatever you want. From the officials to the common people, everyone is watching you! If you make even the slightest mistake, you'll be doomed!
You don't even understand this simple principle? You're really going backwards as you get older!
"Let me tell you, give up on that idea! If you dare to provoke Qingyue again, I will wreak havoc in the palace and the entire capital, letting the whole world see how wicked and unworthy you are as the Crown Prince!"
Without any restraint, she launched into a tirade against Qin Jinghao, then, ignoring his attempts to explain, she grabbed Jiang Qingyue and left, leaving Qin Jinghao behind to continue his tirade…
