Empress Yan was so frightened that she dared not cry.
"Empress?" The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang stared intently at Empress Yan, his burning gaze seemingly trying to envelop her.
She looked around.
There was no one around.
The air was filled with the unsettling scent of sandalwood.
She frowned.
The next moment, the Southern Emperor grabbed her arm tightly: "I haven't even investigated the Empress's unauthorized departure from Jincheng yet."
"Your Majesty..." Empress Yan's face darkened.
"Just now, the Northern Chu sent a letter requesting that the Empress be married off to another state. I am still hesitating."
One sentence made Empress Yan tense up, but after a moment she gave in, closing her eyes and letting the Southern Emperor do as he pleased.
She trembled all over, feeling utterly humiliated.
Two full hours
The gates of Fengyi Palace were wide open, and sounds of pleasure could be heard from the bed from time to time. The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang was excited, while Empress Yan was trying her best to control herself.
Finally, unable to control himself any longer, he let out a strange scream.
Consort Xue listened with a smile from under the eaves, while Qingzhi was held down by two palace maids and had her mouth covered, forced to listen to the commotion inside.
It lasted a very long time.
Consort Xue smiled and said, "It was not in vain that I gave His Majesty the tonics in advance. Our Empress is new to this world, and I wonder if she can withstand such favor."
Aokiji suddenly raised his head and looked at the Imperial Concubine Xue.
She looked down at Aokiji, who looked at her face and felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he was looking for it.
Looking at the confusion in Aokiji's eyes.
The Imperial Concubine Xue smiled elegantly and kindly reminded her, "My surname is Jiang!"
ginger?
Isn't that the Jiang family, the maternal family of the Third Prince's wife?
No wonder, the Snow Empress's eyebrows and eyes look just like the Third Prince's wife.
The Imperial Concubine Xue raised an eyebrow and, not forgetting to have the incense burner lit again, added a lot of spices.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and peeked over the shoulder.
Empress Yan's frail body was pressed down beneath him like a sail swaying precariously in a river, constantly being battered.
When Empress Yan looked up, her gaze met that of the beautiful and unparalleled Consort Xue, and she immediately recognized that her appearance was strikingly similar to that of an old friend.
She gripped the brocade quilt tightly, but before she could speak, the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang grabbed her ankle, exposing her completely without dignity to the Snow Empress.
At that moment, Empress Yan wished she were dead.
I have never been humiliated like this in my entire life.
They only let her go when the person on the bed could no longer hold on.
At that moment, with just a glance from the Imperial Concubine Xue, the palace maid immediately bent down and went in to clean the sandalwood incense burner, opened the window, and dispelled the smell from the palace.
Empress Yan trembled as she took the clothes and put them on. Her legs shook violently, and she collapsed to the ground as soon as she got down.
Aokiji broke free of his restraints and rushed over; "Your Majesty, the Snow Empress is a daughter of the Jiang family."
ginger?
Empress Yan's mind went blank for a moment, and she asked incredulously, "To seek revenge, you actually ruined your future and gave yourself to the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, I am the esteemed Imperial Noble Consort, and I am not wronged at all." Imperial Noble Consort Xue looked Empress Yan up and down, and clicked her tongue twice: "Your Majesty's performance just now has truly impressed me. Unlike me, who fainted from pain on my first night with the Emperor."
Empress Yan glared at him; how could she not understand the implied meaning?
"How dare you make up such things about me?"
Consort Xue disagreed, bent down and squatted down, her gaze level with Empress Yan's: "Your Majesty, I congratulate you on receiving the Emperor's favor even after your defeat. It seems the Emperor truly loves you."
"You!" Empress Yan raised her hand to strike, but was stopped by Consort Xue and instead slapped.
Snap!
Crisp and pleasant to the ear.
Empress Yan was stunned.
The next five days
Empress Yan served the emperor every day, but was confined to his bed by the emperor of the Southern Frontier. The emperor also had many quirks, which Empress Yan resisted to the death.
A cup of wine, the herbal remedy for dispelling joy, is drunk down.
Empress Yan could no longer maintain her former dignity and elegance, and gradually lost her rationality, allowing the Southern Emperor to manipulate her.
Sometimes, when the palace servants of Fengyi Palace were present, Empress Yan was both ashamed and angry, but she could not withstand the strength of the Southern Emperor.
Day 10
At that time, three cities in the southern border had been captured in succession, and the Northern Chu army was advancing with unstoppable momentum. It was about to reach Jincheng, and the civil and military officials knelt in the Fengyi Palace.
But what could be heard was Empress Yan's unrestrained groans.
The officials, both civil and military, blushed and were furious upon hearing this.
The Southern Emperor suddenly awoke, looked at the unsatisfied Empress Yan beneath him, his eyes filled with disdain, and left in anger.
The war was brought before the eyes of the Southern Frontier Emperor.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang was furious: "Why is it taking so long to report this?"
"Your Majesty, it was you who ordered that the document not to be presented..." Before the guard could finish speaking, he was killed by the Southern Emperor with a single sword stroke. In an instant, blood flowed like a torrent, staining the Phoenix Palace.
Five more days passed.
The Northern Chu army was at the city gates, only a few miles away from Jincheng.
Jin Cheng panicked
Zhao Jiahua looked at Jin Cheng, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, raised an eyebrow, and curled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth; "Finally back again."
She had waited two long years for this moment.
The Emperor of Northern Chu set up camp on the spot and sent someone in to deliver a message: those who surrendered voluntarily would not be killed!
The city was attacked the following morning.
Those who harm innocent civilians shall be killed!
If the city gates are open, the people may enter and exit freely without being made difficult.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Chu army is already at the city gates. The most important thing now is to negotiate peace."
The officials in the main hall were already in complete chaos.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang ignored him and asked, "Where is the seventh prince? Quickly find the seventh prince!"
"By my decree, the seventh prince is hereby appointed as the Great General of Divine Valor, and shall immediately lead troops to confront the Northern Chu! We must drive the Northern Chu out of the southern border!"
