When King Yin heard this, the smile in his eyes gradually turned cold.
He is so cruel!
"Tuoba Mingyue is my niece. If I kill her, I will be guilty of killing my siblings. How can I govern the country and win the support of the people in the future?"
Guan Shoufu lowered his head and said: "Tuoba Mingyue is a defeated criminal who once wanted to compete with you for the throne. Your Majesty, why do you want to keep this scourge by your side? What if in the future..."
King Yin sneered:
"Since this is your idea, I will announce it to the world..."
"Your Majesty!"
Prime Minister Guan interrupted hurriedly.
Absolutely not!
If the world knew that it was him who instigated the king to kill his own niece, coupled with the rumors in recent days, wouldn't it further confirm the Guan family's crimes?
King Yin's face darkened. "This is not okay, and that is not okay. Lord Guan, what do you want? I have already given you my way, are you still going to push me further?"
The cold voice fell, and he suddenly became angry.
Prime Minister Guan knelt on the ground, only then did he realize that he had no way out.
No matter how you say it, it's wrong.
On the contrary, it was the king who always considered him, protected him and did things for him, which made him seem ungrateful.
But……
If we don't kill Tuoba Mingyue, how can we protect the Guan family?
"Your Majesty..."
"That's enough. You don't have to say any more." King Yin raised his palm to interrupt. "Since you are hesitant, I will be fair and send people to investigate you and Tuoba Mingyue and deal with the matter impartially."
"Your Majesty!"
Absolutely not!
The Guan family has been around for hundreds of years. How could a century-old family not have any dirty deeds that could be exposed to the public?
When it is revealed, the Guan family’s reputation will be ruined!
"This is not okay, and that is not okay. I'd rather give this throne to you!"
"Your Majesty, I dare not! This, this..."
"Someone, check for me!"
-
At the command, the situation in the court changed drastically. Everyone was in danger. Any official who had ever had contact with the Guan family was even more restless and unable to sleep at night.
Tuoba Mingyue grew up in the royal capital and was trained as an heir. He has countless leverage and information in his hands.
She just picked one or two things at random and controlled a few officials.
In order to save their own lives, those officials immediately betrayed the Guan family and used them as scapegoats to reduce their own guilt.
She wandered around there for only three days and the Guan family's empire was on the verge of collapse.
This day.
Tuoba Mingyue had just finished dealing with a matter in his hands and was wiping the blood off the dagger as he walked down the long street. When he looked up inadvertently, he saw two figures not far away.
"Uncle Qin, let's go horseback riding!"
"Amo, I have some personal matters to attend to."
"I know, but I don't want to let you go. I know that once you finish your business, you will return to Da Chu, right?"
The only answer was silence.
Tuoba Mo was a little sad. "It's my fault that I'm too young. If I could grow up a few years, I could go to Da Chu alone and follow Uncle Qin."
Qin Muyu touched his head and said, "There is a long way to go, A-Mo. Everyone has their own role and mission, including you."
Tuoba Mingyue stood not far away, watching this scene, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Amo!"
Tuoba Mo looked up, his delicate brows slightly wrinkled:
"I heard from my father that you were released."
Tuoba Mingyue came over and said, "How rude of you to call me sister."
Tuoba Mo frowned even more tightly, "You are older than Uncle Qin, and you still have the nerve to call yourself my sister. If that's the case, it's not impossible. My Uncle Qin and my father are of the same generation. I will call you sister from now on, and you have to call me Uncle Qin as well."
The little guy is smart but has a clear mind and can't stand any loss.
Tuoba Mingyue laughed and didn't bother with the brat. Instead, he glanced meaningfully at Qin Muyu next to him.
She had heard everything about why King Yin wanted to destroy the Guan family, why he refused to establish a queen, and the rumors about him hiding a mistress in his golden house.
As for the specific reasons, she knew them clearly.
She and King Yin were both from the Tuoba family. She fell into Chu Yeli's hands, and King Yin was not much better off.
The Guan family offended General Qin, and their century-old family was destroyed in an instant.
His death was not unjust.
Even died stupidly.
"I didn't expect to meet General Qin here. This world is really small." She smiled and said, "King Yin has been so busy lately that he has forgotten to eat and sleep. This morning I saw that he looked pale and shaky. Is he injured?"
Qin Muyu's face was slightly cold, "How would I know what he is like?"
"How could you not know?" Tuoba Mingyue pretended to be surprised.
"After all, he uprooted the Guan family and purged the court for you. How many political enemies are watching him, openly or secretly, and want to take advantage of the opportunity. If he is accidentally succeeded by the thieves...if anything happens to him, this land will be mine again."
Qin Muyu's face instantly turned cold. He said no more and turned and left.
Tuoba Mo was anxious to chase after him, but he saw that he was walking very fast. He looked at Tuoba Mingyue who was laughing loudly and said angrily:
"Don't talk too much here."
Tuoba Mingyue's smile widened: "It won't hurt to say a few words to him, why are you so stingy?"
"you!"
"When your father comes to me, I have to say something to him, let alone you two, little brats, get out of the way and don't block my way."
-
The sun sets.
The royal palaces are stacked one upon another and arranged in an orderly manner, bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. A cool breeze blows in the face, blowing up the man's hairband and the corners of his clothes, fluttering them slightly.
Qin Muyu sat on the roof, facing the setting sun, bent one leg, held a wine jug in his right hand, tilted his head back and took a sip.
There seemed to be countless voices echoing in my ears.
It belongs to King Yin...
The words he had said and the things he had done were replayed over and over again like a passing scene, with a complicated look in his eyes.
He raised his head and took another sip of wine.
"Look, why is Young Master Qin on the roof?"
When a few maids passed by, they saw the figure on the roof. As soon as they opened their mouths, they were hurriedly pulled aside by their companions:
"Hush! Keep your voice down. You dare to point fingers at Master Qin? Are you going to die? I heard that the Guan family is about to be destroyed because they offended Master Qin."
"The king refused to appoint a queen because of Prince Qin..."
"Think about it, the fact that the young master likes Master Qin so much, doesn't it just show the king's attitude towards Master Qin?"
"Let's go."
Several people were talking in low voices and walking quickly along the wall.
But those fragmented words were transmitted to Qin Muyu's ears very clearly, and turned into an increasingly complex situation in his eyes...
