In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 124 I object

Today, Jiang Qingyue removed the poison from Qin Xuanyu for the last time. The poison has largely dissipated, and with regular administration of the poison-removing medicine, he will fully recover.

"I owe you my life." Qin Xuanyu never imagined that he, who had prepared himself for death, would one day regain his health.

Feeling the abundant and pure internal energy within his dantian, Qin Xuanyu felt his whole body lighten.

"There's no such thing as owing or not owing. You've helped me a lot, so consider this my way of repaying you." After all, Qin Xuanyu has helped him time and time again, and this cannot be measured by just one instance.

"Actually, I..." Qin Xuanyu suddenly moved closer, catching Jiang Qingyue off guard. She couldn't help but take a few steps back and stumbled.

Qin Xuanyu quickly reached out and grabbed her, bringing the two of them so close that their noses were almost touching. Their breaths mingled, making Jiang Qingyue stiffen.

Just as Qin Xuanyu was about to take things a step further, suddenly, a commotion came from outside the tent.

The moment they turned their heads, they saw Gu Linsen rushing into the tent with a knife in his hand.

Seeing the two of them so close, especially seeing Qin Xuanyu's groping hand, she immediately raised her knife and slashed at him, yelling, "Where are you putting your hand? I'll kill you!"

Jiang Qingyue quickly pushed Qin Xuanyu away, "Grandpa, you..."

As a result, Gu Linsen completely ignored Jiang Qingyue and went straight for Qin Xuanyu.

Qin Xuanyu did not fight Gu Linsen, but only kept dodging, which made Gu Linsen even angrier.

"Grandpa, Grandpa..." Jiang Qingyue didn't care about anything else and quickly stood in front of Qin Xuanyu. Gu Linsen's raised knife stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Jiang Qingyue with disappointment.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong? He’s the King of Qin…” Jiang Qingyue tried to stop Gu Linsen.

"I don't care who he is! Get out of my way!"

"Grandpa, have you misunderstood something?" Jiang Qingyue guessed that the rumors had probably reached Gu Linsen's ears.

"Misunderstanding? I didn't misunderstand. The news has spread throughout the military camp. What misunderstanding could there be!" Gu Linsen was the most furious.

If he likes Jiang Qingyue, Gu Linsen can accept it.

Although most soldiers are honest and simple, what about his granddaughter's reputation?

"Grandpa!" Jiang Qingyue couldn't explain to the soldiers, but seeing her grandfather's appearance, she could only look at Qin Xuanyu with questioning eyes, as if asking if she could tell her grandfather.

Qin Xuanyu nodded.

"You...you dare to exchange glances right in front of me!" Gu Linsen felt even more that his granddaughter was siding with outsiders when he saw the two of them still exchanging glances.

This is how it is now, what will it be like in the future!

"Grandpa, please calm down, okay? Let me explain!" With that, Jiang Qingyue took the knife from Gu Linsen's hand and placed it aside, then took his hand, "Grandpa~"

Jiang Qingyue's tone unconsciously carried a hint of coquetry, making Gu Linsen unable to vent his anger.

He snorted, wanting to see what explanation Jiang Qingyue would give him.

Jiang Qingyue briefly told Gu Linsen about Qin Xuanyu's poisoning and how she had cured him.

This is why Gu Linsen was able to see Qin Xuanyu in the military camp.

After listening, Gu Linsen was silent for a moment.

He never expected that the legendary God of War Prince would also fall victim to this.

but……

Thinking of how his granddaughter had tried to get medical treatment for him, only to have such rumors spread, Gu Linsen's expression darkened again.

"You go out first, I want to have a talk with him." Gu Linsen felt it was necessary to have a proper talk with him.

"Grandpa." Jiang Qingyue was worried that her grandfather would act impulsively again.

"Don't worry, I won't act rashly again. I just have something I'd like to ask Your Highness."

Having said all that, Jiang Qingyue, fearing further misunderstanding from her grandfather, had no choice but to drop the matter, leaving Qin Xuanyu with a look that said, "May you have good luck."

Fine, rumors have already spread like wildfire because of my efforts to treat him, so I'll teach him a lesson, hmph!

An hour later, the two men emerged from their tents, their faces calm, as if the matter had been resolved.

Jiang Qingyue didn't know what they talked about, and when she asked, they both remained tight-lipped, so Jiang Qingyue didn't press them further.

With everything packed up, the group prepared to return to the palace. Gu Linsen instructed all the soldiers not to reveal any information about the King of Qin.

Meanwhile, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Qin Xuanyu left the military camp ahead of time and returned to the palace, also preparing a grand gift for the "virtuous" Crown Prince. Jiang Qingyue returned to the palace with the Gu family army.

Because she knew that if she returned to the palace alone, His Majesty would surely punish her, and then they might do other things that were impossible to guard against.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to return to the palace with General Gu, which would make the emperor more wary.

Anyway, ever since she secretly ran away, she had already broken ties with the emperor, so there was no need for her to continue trying to please him.

However, things might be even more difficult after my grandfather's death.

"Don't worry, if the emperor dares to force me, I'll just rebel!"

"Grandpa!" Jiang Qingyue quickly covered Gu Linsen's mouth, "You can't say things like that."

"Don't worry, with Grandpa here, they can't force you!" Gu Linsen reassured Jiang Qingyue, and the group headed towards the capital.

After a three-day and three-night journey, they finally returned to the capital.

At the city gate, the emperor and Qin Jinghao had already received the news. In order to appease the important officials and the people, Qin Jinghao, on behalf of the emperor, personally came out to greet Gu Linsen.

When he saw Jiang Qingyue in the casual group, he couldn't help but frown.

After showering Gu Linsen with concern, he turned to Jiang Qingyue and said, "Qingyue, how could you go there alone? It was too dangerous! You should have told me!"

In front of a large crowd of people, Qin Jinghao appeared to be very concerned about Jiang Qingyue.

Gu Linsen saw through Qin Jinghao's thoughts at a glance. "Why tell His Highness? This is our own family matter, and it's not appropriate to bother His Highness."

Gu Linsen made the distance very clear.

"General, what you're saying is true. Qingyue is the future Crown Prince's concubine, so naturally..."

"Stop!" Gu Linsen stopped Qin Jinghao from continuing. "Your Highness, first of all, I want to tell you that when the Prime Minister's Mansion and Your Highness were engaged, Xiaoyue had already been switched. So the person you were betrothed to should have been Jiang Chuchu. Now that you have taken Jiang Chuchu as your concubine, the engagement has been fulfilled. What does this have to do with Xiaoyue?"

"solitary……"

"Secondly!" Gu Linsen interrupted Qin Jinghao, "Secondly, although Prime Minister Jiang is Xiaoyue's biological father, he has never admitted to what he did after Xiaoyue returned. Since he has never admitted it, he cannot make decisions for Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue is a member of my Gu family, so how can we talk about marriage? Although you are His Highness the Crown Prince, it is normal for you to have three wives and four concubines, but you can't force someone to marry you!"

Gu Linsen stated his position directly in front of the crowd, giving Qin Jinghao no chance to refute.
