Since the Empress has already incurred enough hatred from Sima Lie, she's not afraid of adding a little more.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shichang and Sima Jing suddenly realized that Li Geng was already the Empress's man.
No wonder the emperor suddenly remembered to promote him; he must have been bewitched by this woman again!
However, no matter what, the person has already been imprisoned.
This can be considered as cutting off one of Zhao Lan's arms in the palace!
Thinking of this, Zhang Shichang walked up to Li Geng with a cold smile.
"Boy, come with me to the Heavenly Prison!"
"The Heavenly Prison?"
Li Geng was stunned for a moment.
But before he could finish speaking, the guards beside him roughly pulled him up and walked him outside.
At this moment, the guards were cutting off the heads of the Jinyiwei soldiers who had been killed on the ground one by one. Without exception, they were all Li Geng's former comrades.
Even Qin Yu, who was used to seeing battlefield battles in later generations, was shocked by this bloody and cruel scene. He looked at Zhang Shichang, suppressed his anger, and asked in a deep voice.
"Minister Zhang, what is this?"
"Oh, it's just that according to military law, the corpses of these rebels must be hung on the city wall to demonstrate the might of the emperor and deter the villains."
Zhang Shichang's face was vicious as he spoke coldly.
With a wave of his hand, he had already chopped off the other person's head.
Qin Yu watched all this coldly from the side, keeping silent. His fist, hidden in his sleeve, was clenched so tightly that his nails were digging into his flesh.
"emperor."
Just then, a charming voice rang out.
When Qin Yu came to her senses, she found Sima Jing looking alluring as she snuggled into her arms.
As the soft, fragrant body nestled into his arms, Qin Yu felt an extreme sense of disgust upon seeing that exquisite face!
This woman just caused the deaths of more than a dozen of his loyal and righteous men!
"Your Majesty... it's already past midnight. Your Majesty shouldn't go to Sister Lan's place. Why don't you rest in my palace instead?"
"My beloved concubine... I was quite startled..."
Qin Yu suppressed his anger and tried his best to put on his usual lecherous act, his large hands roaming over Sima Jing's body.
But he remained standing still. He knew that Sima Jing was prepared. If he entered the Begonia Palace tonight, he would surely be trapped by that soul-capturing spell again!
Thinking of this, Qin Yu felt anxious and quickly racked his brains for a solution.
Meanwhile, his hands were not idle either, having already climbed to the peak and undulating place, and were taking revenge fiercely.
That force showed absolutely no mercy or tenderness!
Sima Jing felt as if that hand was about to crush her completely.
She couldn't help but frown, and bit her lip as she cried out.
"emperor……"
A fleeting look of disgust crossed Sima Jing's already flushed face.
She said, feigning shyness.
"You've hurt me."
"Really? It's alright, the pain will go away in a bit."
Qin Yu revealed a wicked smile, but his hands were never idle. At the same time, he turned to the side and gave An Fu a slight wink. Their eyes met, and An Fu immediately nodded and quietly followed.
At this moment, Sima Jing frowned, knowing that this opportunity was hard-won.
If she wanted Qin Yu to go in and use her soul-capturing technique, she had no choice but to endure it for now.
Thinking of this, Sima Jing had no choice but to hold back the tears that were about to fall.
Instead of dodging, they stepped forward to meet it.
However, just as the two were about to enter the Begonia Palace, a hurried sound of footsteps came from behind.
Qin Yu stopped instinctively upon hearing the sound.
They saw a figure instantly circle around to their front.
It was Anfu. He knelt down with a thud, his old face filled with fear, and said, "Your Majesty, the Begonia Palace has just been attacked by rebels. For your safety, it would be best not to stay here tonight."
Upon hearing Anfu's words, Qin Yu immediately exclaimed in surprise, "That makes sense! It's all thanks to you, my servant, for reminding me!"
"That's right! There might still be Li Geng's accomplices hiding in Haitang Palace. Besides, with so many dead outside, it's really creepy for me to sleep in the palace in the dead of night!"
At this point, Qin Yu looked terrified and pushed Sima Jing away from his embrace.
"Your Majesty, you..." Sima Jing looked bewildered, glaring fiercely at Anfu kneeling on the ground, gritting her teeth in anger.
If it weren't for that old dog's loose tongue, the tyrant would have been in the palace by now, controlled by his own soul-capturing magic!
Just as she was glaring fiercely at Anfu with her beautiful eyes, Anfu continued to speak in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty, this old servant believes that we should send people to thoroughly search Haitang Palace. Otherwise, if there are any accomplices of Li Geng, even Consort Jing will not be safe. This old servant dares not think about what heinous things these desperate people might do!"
"Anfu! What do you mean... could it be?!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu trembled, stared at Sima Jing with suspicion, and said coldly.
"Li Geng led his men into Haitang Palace in the middle of the night, but he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"Your Majesty, what... what do you mean?"
Sima Jing was completely stunned!
This foolish emperor, after being instigated by Anfu, actually began to doubt his own innocence?
Li Geng was framed by himself and Zhang Zongchang; it's no wonder he had such intentions.
Even if they really had that intention, they would never succeed.
But she couldn't say that. If she didn't explain this, according to the palace rules, she would be punished by being ridden on a wooden horse and burned alive!
Sima Jing's face was filled with anxiety as she hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, how could this be? He didn't even touch me with a single finger. I am innocent!"
As Sima Jing spoke, her face turned pale.
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and sneered with a look of disgust.
"That's hard to say. Someone, summon all the matrons and have them thoroughly examine my beloved concubine to see if she has been defiled!"
"If Li Gengzhen dares to defile my woman, I will not only have him torn to pieces, but I will also exterminate his entire clan throughout the Haitang Palace!"
"emperor……"
Sima Jing's expression changed drastically. She looked at Qin Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with anxiety.
This incompetent ruler is such a blockhead!
What on earth is going on?!
How did I end up getting myself into trouble after all that effort?
Seeing Sima Jing standing there in a daze, Qin Yu's lips curled up slightly. He knew that he had achieved his goal.
His face immediately turned cold, and he said, feigning anger.
"What are you all standing there for! Immediately summon a few matrons to give Consort Jing a thorough examination."
Before Sima Jing could react, An Fu, who was standing to the side, had already responded and turned to leave.
Seeing Sima Jing's flustered expression, Qin Yu snorted coldly and then left.
Once they were out of sight, Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowed his pace, looked at Anfu beside him, and said in a deep voice.
"Thanks to your quick thinking, I will reward you handsomely when we get back."
