During the following period of time, perhaps because King Yin was too busy or Qin Muyu was deliberately avoiding him, the two of them never ran into each other.
Qin Muyu learned all about King Yin's recent actions from the people below him, and the biggest move was made by the Guan family.
He has been dealing with the Guan family's affairs.
It is not easy to uproot the centuries-old trees.
He couldn't help but think of what Tuoba Mingyue said that day, that King Yin looked pale and seemed injured...
Is he hurt?
Qin Muyu just thought of it, but immediately suppressed the thought.
If he were injured, there would be so many highly skilled doctors in the Imperial Hospital to treat him, and they would have the best medicinal materials in all of Nanman. How could it be his turn?
He shouldn't think too much.
Recently, even Tuoba Mo has kept his mouth shut and hasn't mentioned King Yin at all. Qin Muyu can't hear any news from him.
I wanted to ask, but held my tongue.
As time passed, the King of Yin did not bother him. Instead, he became increasingly suspicious and anxious, even speculating before going to sleep every night.
Day 7.
Qin Muyu practiced swordplay and meditation just like before, and when he was finished, he was holding his soft sword and preparing to take a bath when an unexpected figure broke into Zhaohua Palace.
“Get out of the way!”
"You can't go in... you haven't informed me yet..."
“Get out of the way!”
Qin Muyu stopped and looked, only to see two maids anxiously and hurriedly stopping a woman.
The woman's hair was disheveled and her skirt was wrinkled, and she looked very disheveled.
She pushed aside the two maids and strode in:
"Master Qin!"
Only then did Qin Muyu see her face clearly.
Guan Jia, Guan Yajun, the woman who was once engaged to King Yin.
It's her!
After not seeing her for a few days, she no longer had the dignity she once had. She looked so miserable and anxious, and it was obvious that the Guan family had encountered a major change.
"What is it?"
"Master Qin, our Guan family has no grudge against you, why do you have to force us into a desperate situation! My grandfather, father, mother, brothers and sisters, more than 300 people in the Guan family, all suffered a devastating disaster because of you!"
Guan Yajun shouted at the top of her lungs, rushed forward, and grabbed his hands tightly.
"Please be merciful and give the Guan family a chance to live, and give us a chance to survive!"
We can’t let a hundred years be ruined like this!
That's her home!
Qin Muyu pulled his hand away calmly and took a half step back: "Miss Guan seems to have asked the wrong person for help. This is your Nanman political affairs and the will of King Yin. What's the point of asking me for help?"
Guan Yajun's body was shaky:
"You won't let us go..."
Qin Muyu's voice turned colder: "I have never made things difficult for you, so how can I talk about letting you go or not?"
"You are still blaming me. At the beginning, I was jealous of you and was obsessed with sending people to assassinate you. I thought that as long as you were dead, the king would change his mind, but I didn't expect that it would bring disaster to the Guan family!"
Guan Yajun felt regretful and heartbroken.
"I was foolish that day, Master Qin, if you want to hate someone, just hate me. I am willing to die as an apology, as long as you can show mercy and let the Guan family go!"
Qin Muyu frowned, "I told you, you asked the wrong person."
"But the king is targeting the Guan family because of you! The king is venting his anger for you. If you don't speak up, no one can save the Guan family!"
Qin Muyu's eyes darkened and his breathing became choked.
He has not met King Yin these days, but the people and things around him seem to have become tools for King Yin to reveal his true feelings.
The two had never met, but he was always by her side.
He was always there for him.
Because of this, Qin Muyu felt even more fearful and uneasy about the unknown...
"I'm sorry, I'm just an outsider and I don't know anything. I really can't help you." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go back to the house.
"Master Qin!"
Guan Yajun begged hurriedly, "Master Qin, I am willing to die to atone for my sins, Master Qin!"
She hurried after him, "Master Qin..."
"Tsk tsk, it is an established fact that the Guan family did not act in a proper manner. When you did evil, you should have thought that this day would come. How can you blame it all on an outsider?"
Outside Zhaohua Palace, a smiling voice interrupted.
Guan Yajun turned her head and saw that it was Tuoba Mingyue who came.
"It's you..."
This person was the mastermind behind the downfall of the Guan family.
Although she is the mistress, Tuoba Mingyue and the king are playing the villain and the good guy respectively, putting the Guan family on the spot. The uncle and nephew may have already secretly communicated with each other.
Tuoba Mingyue smiled and said:
"The Guan family was found guilty of 27 crimes, including taking bribes, abusing public power for personal gain, killing people, and kidnapping women. If you feel you are wronged, you can appeal. Do you think that asking Mr. Qin for help can erase the evidence of your Guan family's crimes?"
Guan Yajun's expression changed, "I..."
Over the past hundred years, the Guan family has indeed done some dirty things that cannot be exposed to the public, but as a human being, who can guarantee that their hands will be clean for the rest of their lives?
Even monks who have left home and are compassionate are not necessarily upright and have a clear conscience.
What's more, they are just mortals?
She looked at Qin Muyu, suddenly lifted her skirt, and knelt down heavily.
Everyone in the Guan family is her closest relative. Even if the hope is slim, she will do her best to beg!
"Mr. Qin, please!"
“Please!”
Tuoba Mingyue shook his head and stepped forward, "Tsk, instead of doing useless work here, you might as well go home and see your grandfather for the last time. He has committed so many crimes, I'm afraid he won't survive."
"What did you say...Grandpa..."
Guan Yajun’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
"Why don't you hurry up?"
"Master Qin..."
"If you don't leave now, I'll release some evidence in my hands, and your parents won't be able to survive either."
Guan Yajun's face turned pale. She knew that Princess Mingyue's methods were no less than those of men. She was outstanding in everything, whether it was fighting, strategy, or court affairs.
Seeing it today, it is indeed true.
Guan family... I'm afraid the situation is already decided and there is no hope anymore.
It was her momentary foolish thought that ruined the entire family.
It's all her fault!
When Guan Yajun left, her frail body was shaky and she was almost fainting. She almost had to hold on to the palace wall as she left with difficulty step by step.
Tuoba Mingyue glanced at her back and said, "General Qin can have some peace and quiet now."
Qin Muyu looked at her and said in a light voice: "Thank you."
If Tuoba Mingyue hadn't shown up, it's unclear how long Guan Yajun would have pestered him.
He did not participate in the internal affairs of the Southern Barbarians. Even if the entire Guan family was wiped out, this was the political affairs of the Southern Barbarians, and he was just an outsider.
"It's just a piece of cake." Tuoba Mingyue chuckled, "I haven't seen you for a long time. General Qin seems to have lost some weight."
Qin Muyu's eyes flickered slightly, "Maybe it's because he just arrived and he's not used to the local climate."
"Oh? I thought it was something you think about every day, something you miss?"
Qin Muyu's eyes darkened instantly, "Princess, you are too suspicious!"
Tuoba Mingyue smiled even more: "Look at you, your voice has become two degrees louder. If it didn't hit the nail on the head, why would you be so anxious to deny it?"
Qin Muyu's expression changed slightly. He didn't want to say anything more and was about to leave.
Tuoba Mingyue raised his voice and said:
"General Qin, Uncle Yin and I are the same kind of people. How I feel about Chu Yeli is how he feels about you."
She was only a few years younger than Uncle Yin, and they grew up together, so she knew Uncle Yin almost too well.
