Jun Chenbi's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and a wicked glint seemed to be in his gaze. "What, is the top scholar going to plead for this maid?"
"It's not impossible, but what is the top scholar prepared to offer in exchange?"
In front of everyone, Jun Chenbi's words sounded like he was flirting with Qin Ge.
However, everyone in the palace was filled with unease because of the emperor's wrath, and apart from Qin Ge, no one noticed this unusual situation.
When Qin Ge saw the tyrant's state, he knew that the tyrant was definitely not normal and had gone a bit mad.
Seeing the palace servants kneeling on the ground, all with their heads bowed, the young man in scarlet robes stepped forward and came to the emperor's side. Knowing that the palace servants dared not raise their heads to peek at this time, he boldly and quietly took the tyrant's finger, using his breath and actions to soothe him. Noticing that the tyrant's body stiffened slightly, he spoke, his voice clear and melodious: "May I speak with Your Majesty alone?"
Everyone was taken aback.
No one has yet dared to negotiate with His Majesty.
Even if His Majesty favors the top scholar, isn't this... going too far?
Besides, is it worth it for him to defy the emperor for the sake of a palace maid?
When the palace maid heard the tyrant give the order to cut off her hands, she rolled her eyes and fainted, presumably already regretting her decision.
"You may all step back," the emperor said.
The entire Imperial Garden was cleared away in an instant, including the palace maid who had fainted from fright, who was half-dragged and half-supported away.
In the blink of an eye, only Qin Ge and Jun Chenbi remained.
Concealed by their wide sleeves, their hands were intertwined, or rather, Qin Ge unilaterally grabbed and held the tyrant's fingers, while the tyrant remained unresponsive.
He wasn't the type to beg and plead; he had been somewhat expedient in his actions just now. Now that there was no one else around, and their relationship was no longer that of ruler and subject, Qin Ge was about to let go of Jun Chenbi's hand.
Or rather, to put it more precisely, to let go of something.
Yes, I'll throw it away after I'm done using it.
However, before Qin Ge could make a move, the tyrant seemed to have sensed his thoughts in advance. Jun Chenbi grabbed his delicate, white wrist bone and pinned him against a pillar of the pavilion.
"Have I been too lenient with you?" Jun Chenbi asked in a deep voice, his tone unreadable.
Long, slender, jade-white fingers caressed the boy's cheek inch by inch down to his neck, lingering over the pale blue artery on his neck.
Qin Ge felt as if his lifeline was easily in the other party's hands.
He really disliked it.
Qin Ge frowned slightly. He knew what was wrong with the tyrant. He was just jealous because he saw Qin Ge having physical contact with that palace maid.
However, in Qin Ge's opinion, there was really no need to be jealous.
Qin Ge decided not to argue with the possessive tyrant and instead explained, "Your Majesty, that was just a..."
Before he could even utter the word "unexpected," Qin Ge felt his clothes loosen.
Qin Ge was shocked, "Your Majesty, you can't..."
The next second, everything went black before Qin Ge's eyes.
Jun Chenbi covered her with his belt.
"You'd better shut up. None of your words are what I want to hear." Jun Chenbi pinched the boy's fair chin, forcibly silencing him.
Qin Ge was speechless for a moment, only able to let out a soft sob.
If you really don't want to hear what you don't want to hear from that mouth, then you have no choice but to shut it up.
A flash of crimson light crossed Jun Chenbi's eyes.
