Yang Tao was puzzled.
Seeing that Liu Caiqing had no intention of saying anything more, Yang Tao had no choice but to shut her mouth and force herself into a state of cultivation.
The moon was bright and the stars were few; the night passed quickly.
The decadent music in Qingyun Temple gradually subsided as dawn approached.
When Qin Yu woke up the next day, he hurriedly looked at the person beside him.
He was afraid that everything yesterday was just a dream.
But when he saw the beautiful woman sleeping peacefully in his arms, Qin Yu couldn't help but smile.
"Hmm~"
Just then, the eyelashes of the beauty in his arms trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes.
"You're awake?"
Qin Yu looked at Miao Yu with a smile and said.
Upon hearing his voice, Miaoyu blushed.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I was too unrestrained last night!"
Miaoyu shrank back and said timidly.
Seeing her timid appearance, Qin Yu's lips curled up slightly.
"Last night was the happiest night I've had recently!"
Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Miao Yu finally raised her head.
But when she met Qin Yu's gaze, her face instantly turned red again.
Her adorable appearance made Qin Yu feel an irresistible itch in his heart.
He immediately hugged Miaoyu tightly, pressing her close to his body.
"Miaoyu, what I did to you yesterday while you were in a vulnerable state, will it make you hate me?"
Qin Yu looked at Miao Yu and asked with a smile in his voice.
Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Miao Yu quickly shook her head.
"No, I know His Majesty did it all to save me, and actually I myself..."
Before Miaoyu could finish speaking, Qin Yu placed his finger in front of her mouth, stopping her from saying anything more.
"If you don't hate me, why are you afraid to look at me?"
Qin Yu smiled slightly.
A warm feeling welled up in Miaoyu's heart, and she finally let go of her shyness and looked up to meet Qin Yu's gaze.
Looking into Qin Yu's bright eyes, which seemed to hold the stars, Miao Yu felt a sense of security and indescribable happiness.
When Qin Yu met Miao Yu's eyes, he felt his heart pounding.
It's truly amazing that someone who's been with countless women could still feel this kind of attraction.
"Miaoyu, shall I show you some more pampering?"
Qin Yu cupped Miaoyu's full breasts in one hand and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Miaoyu blushed.
"Your Majesty, you...you want more! But yours is too big, it hurt so much last night..."
Hearing Miaoyu's words, Qin Yu smiled.
"Alright, then I'll let you go today."
Qin Yu knew that Miaoyu was a virgin and it was indeed inappropriate for her to do it again.
Holding Miaoyu in his arms, Qin Yu only wanted to spend more time with her.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is looking for you!"
Qin Yu frowned upon hearing Liu Caiqing's words.
What's up with that old dog this time?!
"Your Majesty, you should go quickly. The Prime Minister is very powerful now, and you must not offend him."
Although Miaoyu also wanted to continue her tender relationship with Qin Yu, she knew that the Prime Minister now controlled the court, and Qin Yu should try to avoid confronting him if possible.
Seeing how understanding Miaoyu was, Qin Yu nodded.
"Then I'll do as my beloved consort says. You should rest well today. I'll have someone send some tonics over later."
"Alright, thank you, Your Majesty." Miaoyu nodded slightly.
Seeing her cute and shy appearance, Qin Yu, who had just gotten up and dressed, couldn't help but lean down and kiss her.
After doing all this, Qin Yu walked out.
Watching Qin Yu's departing figure, Miaoyu reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
Qin Yu came to the door, looked at Liu Caiqing who was standing respectfully outside, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It seems that all of this was within Abbot Liu's expectations!"
Qin Yu finally understood that Liu Caiqing had deliberately left him alone with Miaoyu yesterday.
"What is Your Majesty saying? This humble Taoist priest does not understand!"
Liu Caiqing shook her head.
Seeing that she was pretending to be confused, Qin Yu was too lazy to expose her and led Anfu towards the palace.
...
Outside the fashionable study.
"Where did the tyrannical ruler go yesterday?"
Sima Lie and several ministers had been waiting outside the Imperial Study all morning.
Upon seeing Wang Zhen return, he immediately asked with a gloomy expression.
"Your Majesty, yesterday His Majesty went to Qingyun Temple. When I found him, His Majesty was still fast asleep inside the temple."
Wang Zhen still had a look of surprise on his face.
Although rumors had long circulated within the palace that the tyrannical emperor was using Qingyun Temple as a place to keep women, in the past, whenever the tyrannical emperor went to Qingyun Temple, he would return not long afterward.
This was his first time staying overnight at Qingyun Temple.
Several ministers nearby exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
"A tyrannical and incompetent ruler, utterly shameful, not even sparing a Daoist nun!"
Several people were so angry they wanted to grind their teeth.
Although they had never taken the tyrannical ruler seriously, they were still shocked by the absurd things he had done.
Unlike them, Sima Lie's lips curled up slightly upon hearing the news, and he was actually quite pleased.
Although it's a pity that the Taoist nun from Qingyun Temple ended up with a fool like Qin Yu, it undoubtedly greatly helped Sima Lie's plan.
Given the emperor's poor health, the more he indulges in pleasures now, the faster he will die later.
"You tyrant, enjoy yourself while you can before you die. You'd better pray that you die of exhaustion on a woman's belly before the news of victory in Youzhou arrives, otherwise, I won't be so gentle with you when the time comes."
Sima Lie sneered inwardly.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Just then, Anfu's voice came.
Upon seeing the tyrannical emperor finally arrive, the ministers who had been cursing him just moments before fell silent and bowed their heads in respect.
"Rise, come in and tell me what's on your mind."
Qin Yu glanced at the group of people casually before heading into the study.
The group immediately followed behind.
As soon as he entered the study, a young eunuch brought Sima Lie a chair.
Sima Lie sat down without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Qin Yu felt a surge of murderous intent.
Damn it, this old bastard is incredibly arrogant.
The emperor had barely reached his desk and hadn't even sat down yet when his subject sat down first.
However, Qin Yu did not react.
That old scoundrel Sima has become increasingly arrogant lately; he must have some powerful backing.
Before figuring things out, Qin Yu had to be even more patient than before.
After sitting down, Qin Yu looked at the others.
"What business do you gentlemen have with me?"
As Qin Yu asked the question, he picked up the memorial on the table and began to read it.
"Your Majesty, the provincial examination has now concluded and the top three have been selected. Next, the palace examination will be held, which Your Majesty will preside over. I wonder if Your Majesty has decided on the examination questions?"
At this moment, an elderly man with white hair and beard stepped forward, bowed, and asked.
But he waited for a long time without receiving a response.
When he looked up, he saw Qin Yu looking at the memorial and laughing heartily.
You can even laugh while reading memorials to the emperor?
The minister frowned.
He then mustered his courage and took two steps to the side, craning his neck to see what Qin Yu was looking at.
