Seeing Zi Yan being beaten, Zhao Lan couldn't help but clench her hands under her sleeves, and the anger in her heart rose rapidly.
"This matter concerns the dignity of the imperial palace. Your Majesty, I will take the person away immediately for interrogation and torture, and I will certainly give the Emperor and Empress an explanation!"
As he spoke, Jia Zhengjin's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he was about to leave with Ziyan.
Given this guy's nature, if he were to take her away, Zi Yan's innocence would likely be in jeopardy.
At the critical moment, Qin Yu had an idea. He rushed forward angrily and kicked Jia Zhengjin in the waist.
Caught off guard, Jia Zhengjin was kicked to the ground.
The next moment, a loud shout came from above.
"Go to hell with your affair with another man! Open your dog eyes and take a good look. That's my clothes. I was wearing this when I went out to visit a brothel the day before yesterday."
"You even sent me two attendants, and after only a few days you've completely forgotten about them. What use are you to me?"
After being thoroughly scolded, Jia Zhengjin looked somewhat surprised.
He quickly stood up and frowned as he argued.
"However, when I asked the two of them, His Majesty was not wearing this garment that day!"
He had barely finished speaking when he received another slap across the face.
The crisp sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet atmosphere.
Qin Yu scoffed disdainfully and slapped Jia Zhengjin's face from both sides.
"What? Do I need to report to you what clothes I wear when I leave the palace? I'm going to visit brothels and have some fun, so naturally I need to bring a few extra clothes. Otherwise, if I take them off and get them dirty, am I going to come back naked?"
After being slapped repeatedly by Qin Yu without any explanation, Jia Zhengjin was somewhat stunned.
The burning pain on his face made him clench his fists and glare at Qin Yu through gritted teeth, but he didn't dare to utter a single word.
Seeing this, Zhao Lan felt secretly pleased.
It's surprising that this tyrannical ruler has some use.
She pouted, feigning grievance, and twisted her body to get closer to Qin Yu, sobbing and crying.
"Your Majesty, I have always been strict in disciplining my servants. General Jia's act of throwing this mud at Ziyan is an insult to me. Although I am not usually competitive, I cannot allow myself to be bullied. Otherwise, what dignity would I have left?"
Seeing her come closer, Qin Yu embraced her tightly, feeling extremely distressed, and gently comforted her.
"Your Majesty, do not be afraid. I will certainly stand up for you in this matter!"
As he spoke, he turned his head, glared fiercely at Jia Zhengjin, and cursed angrily.
"To speak nonsense and insult the Empress before even understanding the truth is an unforgivable crime! Guards, slap him!"
Upon hearing this, Xuejian immediately stepped forward and unleashed a barrage of words at Jia Zhengjin's face.
The Imperial Guards had always been bullied by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and Jia Zhengjin had been particularly fond of finding fault with them.
Now that we have such a great opportunity, how could we let it slip by!
Xuejian is different from others; she is a proper martial arts practitioner.
The force exerted by that hand was naturally beyond what an ordinary person could withstand.
In just a few moments, Jia Zhengjin's face swelled up high, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"No, stop! Your Majesty, I was wrong!"
But Qin Yu was only concerned with comforting the beauty in his arms, looking like he was blinded by lust, and had no time to listen to his pleas for mercy.
Without Qin Yu's order, Xue Jian dared not stop.
Jia Zhengjin was already resentful of Xuejian, and now that she had slapped him, he couldn't even retaliate.
He was so frustrated that his vision went black and he collapsed to the ground.
Xuejian frowned and glanced at him, then reported to Qin Yu.
"Your Majesty, the person has fainted!"
"Drag him out and throw him away! He's a disgrace!"
Qin Yu glanced at Jia Zhengjin with disgust and waved his hand casually.
The Imperial Guards, who had remained silent until now, quickly stepped forward and carried Jia Zhengjin away.
After resolving the matter, Qin Yu took Zhao Lan's arm and walked towards the palace.
As soon as she closed the door, Zhao Lan seemed to transform into a different person; the shy expression on her face was immediately replaced by indifference.
She frowned slightly and hurriedly broke free from Qin Yu's embrace.
As Qin Yu withdrew from Zhao Lan's body, her arm accidentally brushed against Zhao Lan's front.
That firm touch... it's Zhao Lan!
It seems that this beauty had taken care of everything before exchanging identities with her sister and returning to the palace.
Qin Yu curled the corners of his lips and gave Zhao Lan a meaningful look.
They exchanged a glance, and Zhao Lan immediately frowned, saying coldly, "I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty for upholding justice for me today!"
As she spoke, a faint hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
This Jia Zhengjin dared to bully her; it must have been secretly instigated by that old scoundrel Sima.
She swears she will not be human if she does not avenge this humiliation!
She was determined to find an opportunity to get rid of that vicious dog, Jia Zhengjin!
Qin Yu keenly caught the fleeting murderous intent in her eyes and secretly pondered the situation.
Jia Zhengjin can be considered Sima Lie's number one lackey in the palace, causing him trouble time and again. He really should be eliminated!
After secretly noting this matter down, Qin Yu still looked excited and found the Flying Chess game with ease, approaching Zhao Lan with a wicked smile.
"It's been a long time since I discussed the intricacies of this game of Ludo with my beloved consort. How about we play a game together today?"
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Zhao Lan's waist.
The sensation from her waist made Zhao Lan stiffen for a moment.
Just looking at the contents of that Ludo game made her legs go weak, let alone playing it.
This tyrant is as licentious and unrestrained as ever.
Blushing, she glared angrily at Qin Yu, her voice as cold as ice.
"I am not feeling well today and cannot serve Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"
Although her words were not inappropriate, her expression showed no respect, but rather some disgust.
How utterly clueless about romance!
Qin Yu clicked his tongue inwardly, shook his head, and sighed.
"Very well, let's put it away then! I'll discuss it with my sister again when the Empress leaves the palace next time!"
This tyrant has bullied Yan'er so badly, yet he still dares to have such thoughts!
Zhao Lan narrowed her eyes, her whole body radiating anger as she warned him.
"I am warning you for the last time. If you dare to lay a finger on Yan'er again, I will kill you!"
Meeting Zhao Lan's murderous gaze, Qin Yu was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and teased her.
"Why is my beloved concubine so angry? Is she perhaps jealous of her younger sister?"
"It's nothing, why get angry? If my beloved consort doesn't want her younger sister to steal my favor, she can stay in the palace and accompany me every day. I will definitely cherish her!"
The incredibly ambiguous words, coupled with Qin Yu's smug, wicked smile, were enough to make anyone want to punch him.
Zhao Lan was so angry that her teeth itched, and she wished she could punch his head and smash it.
But this tyrannical ruler is still useful; it's not time to break off relations yet.
She could only suppress her anger and patiently persuade him.
"Yan'er has been frail since childhood and has a gentle personality. She can't withstand your methods!"
The thought of the tyrannical emperor's utterly shameless and disgusting cards filled her with heartache for her sister.
She couldn't even imagine what kind of abuse her obedient and gentle younger sister had suffered at the hands of the tyrannical emperor!
How could a normal woman possibly tolerate being played like that?
