Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 61 62: Qin Luo and I hit it off

It was dawn the next day.

In the Jinluan Hall, all civil and military officials came to pay homage.

Xia Yue's petite body is shrouded in a gold-plated dragon-patterned robe, and she wears a twelve-pointed white jade crown. Her pretty face looks like a beautiful boy who has stepped out of a painting, and her bright starry eyes reveal heroic colors. Under the attention of all civil and military officials , slowly walked towards the dragon chair that towered over all living beings.

She knew that today was the day she died.

After Qin Luo left last night, he would definitely tell his father-in-law the secret of his daughter’s identity.

And the father-in-law covets the throne so much that it is impossible to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to depose him.

Can! Even if I die, I will maintain the last dignity of the emperor. No one of you wants to see my joke!

With this tragic thought in mind, the little emperor sat on the dragon chair with his delicate buttocks.

"Long live your majesty!"

All civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

Xia Yue's starry eyes were like lightning, scanning the ministers one by one.

These were originally supposed to be her courtiers, but now they are all his followers.

Xia Yue knew very well that when her father-in-law deposed her, the civil and military officials in the court would all agree, and no one would speak up for herself.

She was not one to sit still and wait for death. After a long silence, her eyes fell on Qin Wude who was at the forefront of the Golden Palace.

"Father."

"I'm here."

"...What do you want to say to me today?"

Qin Wude was startled, and confusion flashed across his face. He thought to himself, what I want to tell you, didn't I just say it in the imperial study room yesterday?

You only need to go through the process today and promulgate the decree to increase taxes in the court.

After all, he has been in power for many years. Within a few moments, Qin Wude figured out the holy intention and thought that Xia Yue went back to the palace last night and thought about it, then regretted it and planned to take back her life.

"Your Majesty, the world is currently in a turbulent autumn and the national treasury is empty. In order to quell the sect's troubles, it is necessary to increase military service taxes. I hope your Majesty will learn from this!" Qin Wude said solemnly.

Xia Yue pursed her lips and remained silent.

Why are you pretending to be stupid for me?

Am I asking you about taxes? There's no point in beating around the bush. If you want to depose me, just come directly. I'm afraid you and your son won't succeed!

After pondering for a while, Xia Yue simply showed her cards: "Qin Luo, the son of Xiangfu, broke into my bedroom last night——"

"What!"

Qin Wude was startled, anger suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he shouted: "That bastard! How dare you be so rebellious!"

Qin Qingyue arranged for Qin Luo to go to the palace to practice Heavenly Evolution Art Physical Body Volume with the imperial master Xiao Meiying. Qin Wude knew about it. He was originally very pleased that the traitor was working hard to become stronger, but now he learned that Qin Luo was not only practicing yesterday After learning Heavenly Evolution Art, he actually broke into the Nourishing Heart Hall, which was instantly shocking.

Little did he know that his sudden yell also startled Xia Yue on the throne, thinking that he was going to formally attack him.

"I have failed to teach my son well. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I will definitely punish the evildoer severely!"

Qin Wude bowed down and apologized.

Xia Yue pursed her lips and remained silent again. After a long time, she said quietly: "Since Qin Luo has already told my husband, why should he pretend to be stupid with me?"

All the civil and military officials looked at each other.

Qin Wude's heart skipped a beat and he said solemnly: "After that evildoer returned home last night, he did not ask me to surrender. I have no idea about it. However, no matter how Your Majesty plans to punish that evildoer, I will never object!"

"..."

Xia Yue was shocked and doubtful. Although she could not tell whether Qin Wude was pretending to be stupid with her, she knew that Qin Wude had no need to pretend to be stupid.

"If my father-in-law knew about my daughter's identity, with his ambition, he would definitely have attacked me head-on. Why bother to pretend?"

"Could it be that...Qin Luo, the thief, really didn't tell Qin Wude my secret?"

She couldn't help but think of what Qin Luo left before escaping last night:

"I'll repeat it to you one last time. I won't tell anyone what happened tonight, and don't make trouble for me. Just pretend that we have never met. We will never see you again!"

…

"I don't want to punish Qin Luo."

Xia Yue suppressed the throbbing feeling in her heart and changed her words.

"In fact, Qin Luo did not break into my bedroom without permission last night, but was brought here by Sister Wen Jing."

Qin Wude was startled when he heard this.

In just a short moment, Xia Yue had made a decision. No matter what the reason was, Qin Luo did not reveal the secret of her daughter's identity. His existence was always a fatal threat to her, and he must be tightly tied to her side.

"Qin Luo has mastered Xiao Guoshi's Heavenly Evolution Art. He is extremely talented and has extraordinary qualifications. Sister Wen Jing thought that he was a talent that could be created, so she brought Qin Luo to my palace and introduced him to me." Xia Yue continued calmly.

"Qin Luo and I hit it off immediately. It just so happened that I was short of an imperial guard. Before leaving last night, I specifically asked Qin Luo to ask my prime minister for instructions to summon him into the palace to serve me."

Qin Wude's mouth twitched when he heard it, and he even suspected that he was hearing hallucinations.

Your Majesty said that you and Zizhan hit it off immediately?

Do you know who Nie Zhan is, and can you get along with him at first sight? ?

Qin Wude knew very well the character of his rebellious son, who was completely arrogant. Since he was a child, he had never even heard Qin Luo call him father, and he and Qin Qingyue had always called him by their first names.

Such a lawless and rebellious son, Qin Wude would never dare to put him under Xia Yue's nose, for fear that his rebellious son would one day commit the crime.

"Your Majesty, what a shame - my dog ​​has been naughty since he was a child, and his cultivation is low. He is absolutely unqualified to serve your Majesty." Qin Wude declined politely, "If your Majesty needs imperial guards, I will go to the army to select them for you." Suitable candidates……"

"No need!"

Xia Yue interrupted, her beautiful and handsome face full of determination: "I want Qin Luo!"

Such a fatal threat, Xia Yue must and can only tie Qin Luo by her side, and never dare to let him talk nonsense outside.

"Father, you have served the Great Xia Dynasty all your life and are my confidant. Don't you want your son to also serve the country?"

"this……"

Qin Wude hesitated, he wanted to tell the little emperor, it's not that I don't want my son to serve the country, but I'm worried that the evil imperial guards will ride on you and run wild in front of you! Even Qingyue and I can't restrain him.

"Wait a minute, even though that Nie Zhan is arrogant and lawless, he is just being arrogant towards me and Qingyue. Maybe in front of His Majesty, Nie Zhan will show a different attitude. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have just said that he and Nie Zhan hit it off immediately."

Qin Wude suddenly understood.

"The reason why Nie Zan is so arrogant towards me and Qing Yue is because he regards us two as traitors and traitors. If he is given a chance to serve His Majesty, with his sense of justice in his bones, he might really do something to him. As..."

While Qin Wude was thinking about it, Xia Yue, who was sitting on the dragon throne, made a strong decision: "There is no need to discuss this matter any further! It's decided like this. The prime minister will let Qin Luo come to the palace tomorrow!"
