C8 Venomous Wine

Perhaps it was because the night was dark and the moonlight was too dim, Shen Yushi silently stood alone at the window. His originally clear eyes were now even more profound than they had ever been.

In his previous life, Shen Yushi had seen Nangong Qing's vicious methods, but she had never thought that she would be able to do something so heartless during her newlyweds.

The moon hung high in the sky and the branches of the willow trees fell silent. Only then did Shen Yushi regain her senses.

Since the heavens had given her a new life, why hadn't he used this opportunity to make those people who had hurt her pay?

Nangong Qing thought that he would be able to do whatever he wanted once he obtained the throne. However, Shen Yushi refused to allow him to do what he wanted. In the future, she would definitely let him know that there were always evil and evil.

"It's late at night, go rest. I'm going to the study room!" Qiao Yin said in a gentle voice.

The two of them smiled at each other, and the wedding night was already the night they slept in the other room. They both knew why they were getting married.

That night, Qiao Yin thought of many things. Now that he was together with Shen Yushi, many things were beyond his control. He needed to use all of his abilities to protect Shen Yushi's safety and prevent anyone from harming her.

Today, Nangong Qing poisoned his wine. Luckily, Qiao Yin had used his internal energy to force the poison out of the wine. However, this would also mean that the relationship between him and Nangong Qing would be broken down.

The next day.

In the morning assembly, Nangong Qing flipped through the imperial edict in her hands and felt a pang of anger in her heart. Thinking of yesterday's scene, her fingers tightened and she threw the edict onto the ground, angrily staring at the group of ministers in front of her.

"A man is responsible for a country's crisis. What do you all think about it?"

Seeing how furious the Emperor was, the ministers all swallowed their anger. After hearing that the Emperor had returned from the palace yesterday, they were all furious, probably because of the marriage of the great scholar. The Emperor was in a difficult position, so they had no choice but to go after him.

"Why hasn't Qiao Yin entered the imperial court today?" Everyone knew that the relationship between the emperor and Qiao Yin had always been good, but they never thought that after the emperor ascended the throne, the two would become increasingly distant.

Hearing this, even the usually silent Lord Li could not bear it any longer. He took a step forward and respectfully replied, "Your majesty, please calm your anger. Sir Qiao is most likely newly wedded, which is why he missed the court meeting …"

"Humph!" When Nangong Qing heard this, she coldly laughed. Yesterday's cup of wine was enough for him to rest for half a month. Nangong Qing wanted to see what Qiao Yin would do next.

It should have been a joyous day, but due to Nangong Qing being poisoned yesterday, the entire mansion became lifeless.

Qiao Yin, on the other hand, announced that he had caught a cold and could not go out. In reality, he only wanted Nangong Qing to think that he had been poisoned and was recovering, so he could lower his guard against her.

"I have truly wronged you when it comes to getting married!" As he spoke, Shen Yushi's good-looking eyebrows knitted tightly together.

When he thought about what happened before the wedding, he felt a lingering fear. If he was a little slower and did not marry Qiao Yin, he was afraid that he would have become Nangong Qing's queen because of that edict.

Seeing Shen Yushi care so much for her, Qiao Yin felt somewhat guilty in his heart. He gripped Shen Yushi's wrist and said with a complicated expression: "Why do you and I say these words to each other? However, after this lifetime, I'm afraid that there will be some grudges between the Emperor and myself! "

Shen Yushi gave a faint smile, concealing the profoundness in her eyes. She replied in a flat tone, "People change. In the future, we'll just have to be careful when we speak and do things!"
