Chapter 379: Re-entering Jinnan Palace

Qin Qixuan walked through the busy streets, avoided the bustling crowd, and headed straight for Jinnan Palace. His heartbeat accelerated as his steps quickened, and he silently recited what he was going to say next. Every word and every sentence concerned Wen Yanya's safety.

The gate of Jinnan Palace was open, and the welcoming servant saw Qin Qixuan and immediately greeted him respectfully.

Those who had seen Qin Qixuan last night were basically dead, so the servant thought that Qin Qixuan came to see Zhao Shuoer.

Who in the palace didn't know that Zhao Shuoer had a deep love for Qin Qixuan? The servant didn't need to report it, he knew that Miss Shuoer would definitely let Qin Qixuan in.

So the servant welcomed Qin Qixuan in very attentively.

"I will take you to see the young lady."

Qin Qixuan nodded slightly and followed the servant into the mansion.

The mansion was brightly lit, and everyone was busy preparing things for the banquet. The entire Jinnan Palace was bustling. However, Qin Qixuan had no intention of appreciating it. He went straight to Zhao Shuoer's residence.

In Zhao Shuoer's room, the fragrance was lingering. She was sitting in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window, with a complicated expression on her face. Hearing the knock on the door, she was slightly startled, and then told the maid to open the door. When the door opened, Qin Qixuan appeared at the door.

"Brother Qixuan?" Zhao Shuoer saw Qin Qixuan, and a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she immediately concealed it and returned to her usual arrogance, "Brother Qixuan, how come you're here so soon? You really keep your promise and you really haven't forgotten our agreement!"

Qin Qixuan seemed not to see the joy on Zhao Shuoer's face. He didn't say any nonsense, but went straight to the point.

"Zhao Zemo has tied up Wen Yanya again."

Zhao Shuoer heard this, and a complex emotion flashed across her face.

She really didn't know what Zhao Zemo had done.

She was surprised by what Zhao Zemo did, but also felt a little happy. Although she felt surprised, it seemed reasonable.

Zhao Shuo'er knew in her heart that Zhao Zemo's move was undoubtedly to clear obstacles for her and let her get one step closer to Qin Qixuan.

Moreover, Zhao Zemo was about to get Wen Yanya, but Qin Qixuan was so close to her. How could Zhao Zemo give up so easily?

However, Zhao Shuo'er saw that Qin Qixuan valued Wen Yanya so much, and Wen Yanya asked him to come to Jinnan Palace to die and take her back, so he couldn't help feeling a little angry.

"Humph, my brother said before that he got a beauty and would introduce her at the banquet. He told everyone in the capital so he would not go back on his word. You didn't know him well, so you let your guard down and didn't take advantage of the opportunity I gave you."

Zhao Shuo'er's face was not very good, and his words were a little cold.

Qin Qixuan frowned.

"Why is he so obsessed with Yu Wenyanya?"

Zhao Shuo'er sneered in his heart, but pretended to be innocent on the surface.

"How can I know what my brother likes about her? I am not the worm in my brother's heart. Let me tell you, the minds of you stinky men are the hardest to understand, especially you."

Zhao Shuo'er glanced at Qin Qixuan, and took this opportunity to express her feelings to Qin Qixuan again.

"Brother Qixuan, why do you have to cling to Wen Yanya? What is so good about her that is worth your risking for her? If you are willing, I can ask my father and the emperor to grant us a marriage, and give you a promotion and wealth. Why do you have to give up your bright future for Wen Yanya?"

Zhao Shuo'er looked at Qin Qixuan with a pair of beautiful eyes full of affection, as if as long as Qin Qixuan nodded, she would give him everything.

Qin Qixuan shook his head slightly, his eyes were firm and determined, and he was not moved by Zhao Shuoer at all.

"Miss Zhao, I am grateful for your kindness, but Qixuan only has Yan Ya in his heart, and he will not marry anyone else in this life. I appreciate your kindness, but I'm sorry that I can't obey your order. I will definitely take Yan Ya away tonight."

Zhao Shuoer's face froze when she heard this. She never thought that Qin Qixuan would reject her so decisively. She was angry for a while, but more of it was confusion and unwillingness.

"Why? What's so good about Wen Yanya? In terms of status, she is of low power; in terms of appearance, she is just so-so compared to me; in terms of talent, she is far inferior to me. Brother Qixuan, why are you so stubborn?"

Zhao Shuoer's voice was a little puzzled. She didn't understand why Qin Qixuan was so obsessed with Wen Yanya.

Qin Qixuan sighed. He knew that Zhao Shuoer really liked him, but his feelings for Wen Yanya could not be replaced by anyone.

"Ms. Zhao, matters of love are never measured by status, appearance, or talent. Yan Ya is unique in my heart. She is kind, strong, and brave. Her every smile touches my heart. I know I am not worthy of her, but I am willing to spend my whole life to protect and cherish her."

Zhao Shuo'er felt mixed emotions when she heard what Qin Qixuan said. She never thought that she would lose to a gentle Yan Ya.

"Qin Qixuan, are you really going to give up everything for her? Including your future, your family, and everything you have?"

Qin Qixuan did not answer, but his eyes had already given the answer. He looked at Zhao Shuo'er deeply and wanted to turn around and leave. Instead of arguing with Zhao Shuo'er here, it is better to find out about Wen Yanya as soon as possible and rescue her from Zhao Zemo's hands.

Zhao Shuo'er was filled with resentment and anger. She didn't understand why she had paid so much but couldn't get Qin Qixuan's heart. She didn't understand why Wen Yanya could make Qin Qixuan so obsessed.

"Hehe, are you really going to give everything for Wen Yanya?"

Zhao Shuo'er finally couldn't keep his calm face, looked at Qin Qixuan with a cold face, and ordered the maid to bring the yellow scroll.

When Qin Qixuan saw what she had in her hand, he knew that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Zhao Shuoer sneered and unfolded the scroll in his hand. It turned out to be the imperial edict from the emperor to Zhao Shuoer!

"This is the imperial edict I asked for from His Majesty yesterday. You owed me a favor yesterday. Even if Wen Yanya comes back, it cannot erase my credit. And I want you to receive the edict!"

Qin Qixuan frowned.

Although he didn't know what was written on the imperial edict that Zhao Shuoer asked for, if Zhao Shuoer read it out, it must be something that would be detrimental to him and Wen Yanya.

In this case, Qin Qixuan would certainly not be able to accept this imperial edict, let alone accept Zhao Shuoer's threat, whether for himself or for Wen Yanya.

Qin Qixuan looked at Zhao Shuoer coldly and said three words very firmly.

“I can’t do it.”
