The raid on the Prime Minister's residence was probably due to heartache, as people felt that the Prime Minister had no right to be Prime Minister if he had raised such a dissolute woman.

In this life, she inadvertently caused Qiao Dong and Zhao Yucheng to have an affair ahead of time, which allowed the emperor to extricate himself in time and avoid losing his mind due to heartache as he did in his previous life.

Qiao Qiu had carefully observed Qiao Dong and found that she had not lost her virginity. This proved that Zhao Yucheng had only moved his hands and mouth, but had not moved his legs. They must have been mindful of this.

Were they afraid that the Emperor and Qiao Dong would be discovered sharing a room?

Qiao Qiu suddenly felt a little sorry for Zhao Yucheng. He was forced to be a mistress in his past life, and he is still a mistress in this life.

Tsk, wait a minute, if she hadn't interfered in this life, Qiao Dong would have become the empress, so how do you explain that?

Before Qiao Qiu could figure it out, Xiao Shunzi outside suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has arrived."

"My beloved concubine, have you finished thinking? If you have, get up, you're crushing me."

Qiao Qiu patted his chest, and as she stood up, she said, "You know I'm heavy, huh? When you were pressing down on me, why didn't you feel how heavy I was?"

The emperor propped himself up and chuckled softly, his peach blossom eyes filled with amusement. "My beloved concubine, how about tonight, you be on top of me?"

Qiao Qiu blushed deeply and looked up, saying, "You shameless bastard, your father-in-law is here."

"Hehehehehe..." The emperor laughed heartily and said loudly, "Summon them."

The gate opened, and the Prime Minister walked in, lifted his robes, and knelt down before the two, saying, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty and Consort Ronghua. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Consort! Long live the Consort!"

"Father-in-law, there's no need for such formalities."

Qiao Qiu nudged him with her elbow, and the emperor realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself, saying, "Prime Minister, rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor whispered to Qiao Qiu, "It's all your fault for leading me astray and making me look bad in front of our father."

Qiao Qiu pinched his waist and whispered, "It's clearly your fault for talking nonsense, how dare you blame me?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

The Prime Minister stood up and looked up to see their interaction. Although he was angry when he heard about Qiao Dong's situation, he was still very happy to see that his beloved daughter could receive such favor from the Emperor.

"I wonder what business Your Majesty has summoned me here for?"

"It's not me who's looking for you, it's my beloved concubine," the emperor said with a smile, despite the pain.

Qiao Qiu released his waist, ran over and hugged the Prime Minister, saying coquettishly, "Father, your daughter missed you so much."

Prime Minister Qiao was infected by her emotions and laughed along with her, tapping her forehead, "You silly girl, you're still so unruly even after entering the palace, the Emperor is still here."

Qiao Qiu stepped out of his arms with a grin, glanced at the emperor, who turned his eyes away, pretending not to see her. Qiao Qiu couldn't help but laugh, and looked up at Prime Minister Qiao, "Father, can I discuss something with you?"

"What's up?"

Qiao Qiu's smile faded, and she said seriously, "Sever Qiao Dong's ties with the Qiao family."

"What?!" Prime Minister Qiao's voice rose eight octaves, and even the emperor was stunned.

"Father, you know I don't like repeating myself. Qiao Dong has an affair with another man. Although there's no evidence, it's a fact. Neither the Emperor nor I want to make this public, but I absolutely cannot let Qiao Dong remain on the Qiao family's genealogy, disgracing our family." After much deliberation, Qiao Qiu decided to speak out. If she didn't tell the truth about Qiao Dong, her father would definitely not agree to expel him from the Qiao family. And if Qiao Dong didn't die and did something, it would definitely implicate the entire Qiao family.

"This..." Prime Minister Qiao looked at the emperor in disbelief. The emperor nodded to show that it was true. The prime minister was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud. "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I raised such a, such a... alas, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The emperor walked over, put his arm around Qiao Qiu's shoulder, and said, "My beloved concubine has already said what I mean. Prime Minister, do as she says. Losing a daughter is tantamount to punishing you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qiao Qiu said, "Father, take Qiao Dong back today and bring him back to the palace tomorrow. The sooner this is done, the better, understand?"

Prime Minister Qiao nodded and said with emotion, "My daughter has grown up and is now able to worry about her father. As for Qiao Dong... Hmph, from now on, I only have Qiu'er as my daughter. I will go and take care of it now. I will not disturb Your Majesty and Your Majesty any longer. I will take my leave."

"Go."

As Qiao Qiu watched Prime Minister Qiao turn away, she received a smiling look. She blinked, and as he carefully closed the door to the imperial study, Qiao Qiu looked at the Emperor, "Father, why are you smiling so much..."

The emperor leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That's because Father figured out what we did before."

"I did it..." Qiao Qiu suddenly thought of that blushing and heart-pounding scene. She looked up at the ceiling. If her father knew that they had done this during the day, she would be ruined. Her image would be completely destroyed.

Qiao Qiu turned to look at the emperor, "Zhao Yuce, it's all your fault!"

"Alright, alright, Qiu'er, I'll take you back to your palace to change your clothes."

The emperor took Qiao Qiu back to his imperial bedchamber, took out a set of clothes, and carefully helped her change. In the process, there were plenty of touching and kissing. If Qiao Qiu hadn't stopped him, they probably would have gone straight to sex.

It was half an hour later before we were dressed.

Qiao Qiu found it strange. How could an emperor wear clothes? And even girls' clothes? Aren't emperors supposed to be dressed by eunuchs and palace maids?

The emperor laughed and said, "I learned this especially for you. I originally only learned how to take off clothes, but I didn't expect that after learning it, I also learned how to put on clothes."

Qiao Qiu glanced at the emperor repeatedly before finally throwing herself at him, grabbing his ear, and demanding, "Tell me, how many women have you undressed?"

The emperor, fearing she would fall, held her waist, crying out in pain, "My beloved concubine, you're going to twist my ear off! I am the best emperor of all time, I've only ever stripped you naked."

"So how did you learn it?" Qiao Qiu released his ear and looked at it; it was already red.

The emperor rested his chin on her shoulder, breathed on her snow-white neck, and chuckled, "Of course, I did it while my beloved concubine was asleep, putting her clothes on one by one, and then taking them off one by one. Don't you think I've improved incredibly fast since the first time I undressed you?"

"Ah! You shameless bastard!" Qiao Qiu couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, her face as red as a boiled shrimp shell.

"My dear concubine, please keep your voice down. Others will be envious if they hear you."

Qiao Qiu seriously doubted whether this person was a normal emperor. What the hell was the palace intrigue they were supposed to have? In the end, he only fought with Qiao Dong for a couple of rounds, which was basically not a palace intrigue at all.

However, Qiao Qiu still quite liked this emperor. Let him reveal his true nature; he'd deal with it if he turned against him.

"My beloved concubine, do you remember something?"

"What's up?"

"Accompany me out of the palace."

"Leave the palace? When did you say that?" Qiao Qiu had no recollection of it.
