Jun Chenbi's long, narrow phoenix eyes blazed with fire as she stared intently into Qin Ge's eyes. Her slender fingers gripped his waist as she asked when his period was ending. Finally, in a fit of exasperation and with a hint of punishment, she bit Qin Ge's lips hard, until they were stained a vibrant, intense color...
．
Back at Huayin Palace, Qin Ge sat with her head down, looking at the gleaming golden key in her hand. She touched her slightly hot, swollen lips and thought to herself that she couldn't stay in the palace any longer and had to leave as soon as possible, or she would be exposed sooner or later.
When Qin Ge told Qingzhu about this, Qingzhu immediately agreed wholeheartedly.
At the moment, only she and Qin Ge were in the hall. Qingzhu was the only one who knew Qin Ge's identity, so she spoke frankly.
“Young Master, I’ve had this thought for a while now. Your status is special, and the longer you stay in the palace, the greater the risk of being exposed. Especially…” Qingzhu lowered her voice and said, “Qingzhu feels that His Majesty’s gaze towards you lately is becoming more and more… as if he wants to devour you.”
Even if her young master dressed as a woman, he would still be so beautiful that it was impossible to tell if he was male or female.
It's not surprising that she won the emperor's heart.
Qin Ge: "..."
Was Jun Chenbi's behavior really that obvious?
Even Qingzhu, a girl whose only concern is eating, could see it.
Qin Ge's ears burned slightly, and he coughed, "Qingzhu, don't talk nonsense."
The girl stuck out her tongue: "Yes, young master."
Qin Ge lowered her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes and instructed, "It's inconvenient to leave the palace. The autumn hunt is imminent. I will find a way to get His Majesty to allow me to accompany him. Qingzhu, you can start making the arrangements."
As he spoke, Qin Ge tossed a token to her.
This token allows free access to the palace, making things much easier for Qingzhu when she has it.
The token was obtained by Qin Ge from Eunuch Xia.
He was now considered a favored concubine, and when he told Eunuch Xia that his maid Qingzhu needed a travel token to leave the palace to visit relatives, Eunuch Xia immediately sent one to Huayin Palace.
With this token, Qingzhu could leave the palace without any hindrance and without being questioned.
…
Meanwhile, Qin Ge sent her maid Qingzhu out of the palace to arrange for her to fake her death and escape during the autumn hunt.
On the other side, the old foxes who had initially been thinking of sending their unmarried daughters to the palace because of the Prime Minister's daughter's favor, now saw Qin Manwu, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, being punished to be a laundry maid, and even the Prime Minister himself being reprimanded, and who had initially guessed that His Majesty's interest was mostly temporary and that the virtuous concubine in Huayin Palace would surely fall out of favor, suddenly realized the truth when they learned that His Majesty had given the key to the secret treasury to this woman...
It turns out that not only did she not fall out of favor, but she was actually the apple of His Majesty's eye!
As for the fates of Qin Manwu and Qin Xiang...
It's probably the emperor avenging his favorite concubine.
Of course, it could also be that His Majesty was making an example of someone to scare others.
By using Qin Manwu as an example, he was sending a warning to those ministers who wanted to place women in his harem—
If you want your daughter, sister, or granddaughter to suffer the same fate as Qin Manwu and be sent to the laundry department to do laundry, then just send them to the palace.
The old foxes were all shrewd and cunning; their initial thoughts were nipped in the bud!
Their emperor was not a good-tempered man, but rather a capricious and violent one. If they went against his wishes and forcibly sent people into the harem, they would be sent to the laundry department at best, and might even be killed, and their entire family would be disliked by the emperor. It would be a loss for them.
Not everyone is as fortunate as that virtuous concubine; the foreign dancer who once tried to climb into the emperor's bed serves as a cautionary tale...
