The Imperial Guards, upon receiving the order, released Qin Manwu.
The sword that had been pressed against her neck was removed, and Qin Manwu was so frightened that she fell to the ground. In addition to the lingering fear of surviving a disaster, a trace of hatred also welled up in her heart.
Yes.
Instead of feeling grateful to Qin Ge for speaking up for her, Qin Manwu felt humiliated!
—How could she, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, be reduced to pleading for her as a concubine's daughter!
Qin Manwu had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life. After all, she was young and charming, and there was no madam above her to keep her in check. In addition, the emperor had just personally said that he would release her. Qin Manwu was overjoyed at surviving such a disaster, and her emotions were inevitably revealed on her face.
For example, resentment and a faint grudge against Qin Ge.
Jun Chenbi was almost forced to compromise. He couldn't explain why he couldn't bear to hurt Qin Ge, and he was already feeling irritated.
But if he can't bear to harm Consort Xian, can't he at least harm another one?
How dare they show such a disrespectful expression!
Jun Chenbi suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Qin Ge with his narrow phoenix eyes, and raised a smile on his beautiful thin lips. He spoke in a slightly hoarse and wicked voice, "My beloved concubine, you have pleaded for this person, but some people do not seem to appreciate it."
The title 'beloved concubine' gave Qin Ge goosebumps.
He shuddered silently.
He wondered, "Why has Jun Chenbi suddenly gone mad?"
After hearing the rest, I understood.
This is because they are unhappy with his pleading for Qin Manwu.
Qin Ge never expected that this young lady from the Prime Minister's mansion would be so stupid, actually foolish enough to show a resentful expression in front of the emperor. Wasn't that courting death?
Judging from the tyrant's tone, he didn't seem to intend to kill Qin Manwu. He was just unhappy because he didn't want anyone who had offended him to have a good time.
Qin Ge felt he hadn't offended him and shouldn't take the blame. He wasn't Qin Manwu's mother and had no obligation to indulge her. Their relationship was just a superficial sibling bond anyway. He had already done more than enough by pleading for Qin Manwu. If Qin Manwu insisted on courting death, then he couldn't be blamed.
Qin Ge lowered her raven-feather-like eyelashes and said calmly, "I plead for Miss Qin San only so that I may have a clear conscience."
It was just an ordinary sentence, but somehow one word pleased Jun Chenbi. He smiled, a smile both beautiful and dangerous, and said, "What a fine 'no regrets'..."
Immediately, the smile vanished, stopping at the emperor's lips. His tone, which had been tinged with laughter, abruptly changed, and his eyes now held a noble air that could captivate any woman in the world. As he walked into the palace, his pale gold dragon robe swept a chilling arc before Qin Manwu—
"Lady Qin has acted improperly before the Emperor and shown disrespect to me. Considering that the Virtuous Consort pleaded for her, I will spare her life. However, while she may be spared the death penalty, she will not escape punishment..."
"Didn't you want to stay in the palace? Then punish her by making her a laundry maid in the laundry department!"
The words fell.
With the young emperor's irresistible command.
Qin Manwu suddenly raised her head in disbelief.
She, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, was actually punished and forced to work as a servant in the laundry department?!
Qin Manwu regretted it, "Your Majesty, I don't want to..."
"Noisy." Jun Chenbi only said one word.
The Imperial Guards immediately stuffed a handkerchief into Qin Manwu's mouth and dragged her away.
The handkerchief, no one knew what it was, reeked of a man's pungent sweat. When it was stuffed into Qin Manwu's mouth, the stench made her want to vomit. What made her most desperate was the fate of being sent to the laundry department to work as a slave...
Qin Manwu fainted at the thought, but the Imperial Guards still dutifully threw her into the laundry department.
?
Huayin Palace.
Qin Ge said in a light voice, "Is Your Majesty in a bad mood today? If you punish Miss Qin like this, it will be difficult to explain to Prime Minister Qin."
Jun Chenbi stared intently at Qin Ge with his narrow, phoenix-like eyes. The latter offered sincere advice, his voice calm and gentle, like a spring breeze, yet it gradually stirred up the emperor's anger.
"Do you really not know why I'm angry?"
Qin Ge thought for a moment, "Is Your Majesty's headache acting up again?"
Jun Chenbi, "..."
"Never mind." The emperor frowned and held out his hand to Qin Ge: "Come here."
Qin Ge placed her hand in the man's palm.
Jun Chenbi pulled the person over and hugged him onto his lap.
Qin Ge was already used to his actions. The tyrant didn't know what his hobby was, but he always liked to hug and cuddle him.
He was being cuddled in the other person's arms like a pet. At first, he was indeed not used to it, but in this ancient world where imperial power was supreme, as the concubine of a tyrant, even if she was a man dressed as a woman, he had no reason to refuse.
Gradually, Qin Ge became less resistant.
However, this time it wasn't just a simple hug. The emperor frowned, then suddenly lowered his head and bit Qin Ge's lips.
