The pain radiating through her body caused Sima Jing to cry out in alarm.
But Qin Yu showed absolutely no mercy or pity.
Having finally gotten through it, Sima Jing had no other thoughts.
"I am feeling unwell and must take my leave now!"
After being released, Sima Jing got up without thinking and staggered out of the room.
She arrived as a delicate and beautiful woman, but left looking exactly like a prisoner just released from jail.
Staring at Sima Jing's disheveled figure, Qin Yu touched the tip of his nose and muttered to himself.
Isn't he going a bit too far treating such a beautiful woman like this?
But when he thought of how Sima Jing had taken advantage of his unpreparedness that day to control him with her soul-capturing technique, he shook his head and banished the thought from his mind.
On the other side, after leaving the study, Sima Jing rushed back to his palace without stopping.
Ruyan happened to come out of her palace and bumped into her face to face.
Seeing her in this state, Ruyan was shocked and hurriedly went to prepare medicine for her injuries.
"Your Majesty, didn't you go to see the Emperor? How did you end up like this? Everyone in the entire palace knows that Your Majesty is the most favored. Who dares to treat Your Majesty like this?"
As Ruyan applied the medicine to her, she said indignantly.
The wound stung terribly at the slightest touch, causing Sima Jing to gasp in shock.
Her eyes darkened, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"Who else could it be? You said it yourself, none of the concubines in this harem dare to provoke me. The only one who would dare to whip me is that tyrannical emperor!"
Upon hearing this, even Ruyan was stunned.
In the past, when that tyrannical emperor saw the empress, he was like a hungry wolf seeing meat, and he would rush to push her down. How could he have such a perverted hobby?
She frowned slightly and asked, puzzled.
"But wasn't that tyrannical emperor the one who doted on the Empress the most? How could he bear to harm her?"
At this point, Sima Jing became even more furious.
She clenched her fist and slammed it hard on the bed, saying in shame and indignation.
"Isn't it all Zhao Lan's fault? If she hadn't invented that couple's flying chess game, I wouldn't have had to suffer like this."
This slut usually appears aloof and dignified, but I never imagined she would invent so many despicable and lewd tricks behind the scenes.
No wonder that foolish emperor has been staying in the empress's palace every day lately.
It seems he's been completely charmed by Zhao Lan!
After hearing Sima Jing's account, Ru Yan, who was inexperienced in such matters, blushed with embarrassment.
She had never even heard of these tricks, let alone tried them.
Ruyan applied the medicine, quickly draped a coat over her, and began to comfort her.
"Your Majesty need not worry too much. The Emperor is only indulging in a fleeting interest, which is why that wicked empress took advantage of him. Once the Emperor tires of her, he will realize how good Your Majesty is. At that time, the wicked empress will surely fall out of favor, and Your Majesty will still be the most respected in the harem!"
These words reminded Sima Jing.
Although Zhao Lan was inferior to her in every way, from figure to appearance, who would have thought that she would be willing to lower herself and let the tyrant torture her like this in order to keep him?
If this continues, the tyrannical emperor will surely neglect her.
By then, the tyrannical emperor probably won't even remember who she is!
Sima Lie sent her to the palace precisely to manipulate the tyrannical emperor.
If she loses favor with the tyrannical emperor, she will be of no value to Sima Lie!
The more Sima Jing thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
No, we can't let Zhao Lan steal the soul of this tyrant.
She has to think of a way!
Sima Jing frowned and hesitated for a moment.
After thinking for a while, she finally seemed to have made up her mind, glanced at Ruyan, and gave the order.
"Ruyan, go and fetch the Jade Melon Frost for me!"
Upon hearing this, Ruyan's eyes widened suddenly, and she knelt on the ground in shock.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't! While this Jade Melon Cream may make your body fuller, it will also cause you unbearable swelling and pain! Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
Sima Jing gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with a cold glint.
"If we don't use this method, are we supposed to just stand by and watch that vile woman steal the tyrant away? I know the stakes perfectly well. I told you to go and get it, so go and get it. You're too talkative!"
After being scolded by her, Ruyan dared not say anything more and had no choice but to obediently get up and go to get the Jade Melon Frost.
Upon receiving the Jade Melon Frost, a sinister glint appeared on Sima Jing's delicate face.
Zhao Lan, you're not qualified to compete with me!
But now she is unwell and cannot use the Jade Melon Cream for a while, so she has to put the Jade Melon Cream in the hole.
I'll apply it again when I next go to see that tyrannical emperor.
After applying the medicine, Sima Jing straightened her robes, frowned, glanced at Ruyan, and asked a question.
"Is there any news from General Jia's side?"
Ruyan thought back for a moment and gently shook her head.
"No, General Jia only told Your Majesty to be careful of Xuejian, who is by the side of that tyrannical emperor!"
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Ruyan turned around, took a box from beside the table, and handed it to Sima Jing.
"By the way, General Jia also gave us a box, but he didn't explain what was inside. Since Her Highness hasn't returned, I dare not open it to look inside."
Upon hearing this, Sima Jing quickly opened the box.
He thought it would be a secret letter that Sima Lie had asked him to bring.
But to my surprise, it turned out to be a box of rouge.
Sima Jing's face immediately showed disgust. She casually threw the box on the ground and snorted disdainfully.
"They're all useless things anyway, just throw them away!"
Jia Zhengjin was a womanizer, just like his father; they were nothing more than hypocrites with sanctimonious appearances.
When she first entered the palace, Jia Zhengjin harassed her openly and secretly in various ways.
They either buy vulgar things or pretend to bump into each other all day long.
Sima Jing felt utterly disgusted.
If it weren't for the fact that she was in the palace, which made things inconvenient for her, and that she needed Jia Zhengjin's cooperation, she would have turned against him long ago.
Seeing this object now, Sima Jing felt only bad luck!
On the other side, in the Imperial Study.
Seeing Sima Jing leave in such a disheveled state, Anfu was very worried and quickly went into the room and closed the door.
Qin Yu took out a secret letter from a hidden compartment in the table, handed it to An Fu, and gave him instructions.
"This matter is of utmost importance, and we must be extremely careful! If it is discovered, I will be doomed!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant will obey your command!"
Anfu quickly took the secret letter, put it in his sleeve, and turned to leave.
Halfway there, he suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped, and looked at Qin Yu with a conflicted expression.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Yu frowned in confusion and asked.
"Is there anything else?"
Anfu returned, bowing respectfully.
"Your Majesty, there are some things I must say. Consort Jing is Sima Lie's henchman, and she is certainly hateful, but Your Majesty should not have acted so rashly and carried out the execution privately. If this reaches Sima Lie's ears, he may become suspicious of Your Majesty!"
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about.
He shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and explained.
"Eunuch An has misunderstood. I was not using torture. This was merely a playful game between husband and wife!"
Love, love is a kind of fun...
"I see. I have spoken too much. It is good that Your Majesty understands. I shall take my leave now!"
