Just as they were excitedly discussing this, Yang Tao arrived in a hurry.
"Master Liu, is there any more medicine? It seems that Miss Miaoyu's illness has worsened."
"What?" Liu Caiqing exclaimed in surprise, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
Qin Yu was just as surprised as she was.
Who would have thought that Miaoyu, who usually seemed so lively and energetic, actually had a serious illness!
"Miss Miaoyu's illness is truly unexpected. I shall go and visit her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two women quickly tried to dissuade him.
Liu Caiqing blushed and said, "Your Majesty, this illness is really unseemly. Your Majesty would be better off not going to see a doctor!"
The more they tried to stop him, the more their curiosity was piqued.
"Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard of such an unseemly ailment. I'm definitely going to go and see for myself!"
Miaoyu possessed a distinct temperament that set her apart from other women in the music and dance troupe, and her tragic past left a deep impression on Qin Yu. Unable to leave her behind, he ultimately insisted on going to see her.
However, before even entering the room, sounds that made one blush and their heart race could be heard coming from inside.
Upon entering the room, Qin Yu was stunned.
Miaoyu, like a long snake soaking in wine, kept twisting her graceful body on the bed, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white skin, her face flushed, and she would occasionally scratch her delicate body in unbearable discomfort.
Clothes were scattered haphazardly on the ground, and the person was muttering incoherently.
Liu Caiqing arrived just in time from behind and immediately began to give her instructions.
"Yang Tao and Qing Zhu, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and feed Miao Yu her medicine."
After saying that, she pulled Qin Yu away hastily, closing the door behind her.
At this moment, Qin Yu's mind was filled with the chaotic and contrasting scene that Miao Yu had just witnessed.
He swallowed hard before asking, "Master Liu, what exactly is going on? Isn't Miaoyu a virgin? Why is this happening?"
Liu Caiqing sighed and then began to explain.
It turns out that Miaoyu was beautiful and tall, and was one of the four little actresses, with great fame.
Therefore, when the Song family was raided, Miaoyu was sent to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution) but was not raped like other women.
She was forced to take the "Seductive Powder" for ten consecutive days. This evil drug was supposed to stimulate a woman's physical development, but it also caused harm.
It would cause women to lose their senses, throw all sense of shame to the wind, and become playthings for those bastards to humiliate.
Originally, the medicine was supposed to take fifteen days to complete, but fortunately, when Qingyun Temple managed to rescue her from the Jiaofangsi, it only took ten days to complete.
"Alas! After bringing her back, I have been using medicine to treat her. Although it has improved her condition, it has not been completely cured and has left a lingering illness. Whenever her body comes into contact with water, she will enter that indescribable state."
After hearing the explanation, Qin Yu finally understood.
"I see!"
But upon closer reflection, he felt a surge of anger.
Even the daughter of a disgraced official is still a human being. Although she was in the Imperial Music Bureau, she was still in the palace. How could she be so vicious!
Such methods are simply appalling.
It must have been during the battle in the lake last night that triggered Miaoyu's shameful illness.
Qin Yu imagined her appearance and knew she must be suffering, so he asked, "Isn't there any way to save her? Are we just going to watch her be poisoned by that seductive powder?"
Liu Caiqing blushed and shyly explained in a low voice.
"There is a way."
"Isn't there a way? Abbot Liu, please answer it for her quickly!"
"But in this harem, only Your Majesty can help us!"
Qin Yu instantly understood what Liu Caiqing meant by the method.
It seems that we need to relieve this through sexual intimacy!
He immediately shook his head and refused.
"Miss Miaoyu has already suffered enough. If I were to take advantage of her in her time of need, how would I be any different from those scoundrels from the brothel?"
Admittedly, I am somewhat lustful, but I would never do such a thing.
Helpless, he could only sigh and leave.
at the same time.
The steward of the Prime Minister's residence hurriedly reported this.
"Prime Minister Sima, this is the intelligence that Miss Yuzhu just sent. Please take a look."
Frowning, Sima Lie took it, and the next second he began to curse angrily.
"Slut! Witch!"
Seeing him grit his teeth in anger, Qiu Beiming was startled. What could possibly make Sima Lie so angry these days?
Upon receiving the intelligence, he immediately became somewhat unsettled.
"Prime Minister, the Empress is clearly taking advantage of Sima Jing's absence to win over that tyrannical emperor's heart!"
It turned out that what Yuzhu reported was the palace maid in the Empress's bedroom wearing a suspender dress.
Of course, she couldn't possibly know the truth and still believed that Zhao Lan had invented it.
Sima Lie was so angry he felt itchy all over.
"This woman is so alluring and dressed so provocatively, she's sure to bewitch that tyrant."
"At that time, the tyrannical emperor, under the bewitching influence of that enchantress, will probably even neglect attending court!"
Qiu Beiming gave a helpless bitter smile, "Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. With Sima Jing gone, that vixen can do whatever she wants!"
After calming down for a moment, Sima Lie began to give repeated instructions.
"No, have our men speed things up. We must find Sima Jing as quickly as possible."
"By the way, isn't her maid still here? Although she certainly won't achieve the same effect as Sima Jing, she can still fill in temporarily."
Qiu Beiming's eyes lit up immediately. "Indeed, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I'll make the arrangements right away!"
Before he could even set off, he saw Ma Shangtao rushing in.
Sima Lie's heart tightened immediately.
"What news do you have? Maybe you shouldn't report it today!"
For several days in a row, Sima Lie received only bad news, and he was really starting to feel overwhelmed.
Ma Shangtao was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with joy.
"Prime Minister, this is great news!"
"Your subordinates have received a secret letter. The Xiongnu regent has accepted our money and has even extended an olive branch, wanting to cooperate with us!"
"really?"
Sima Lie's eyes lit up immediately.
This was originally a trial, but unexpectedly, it's about to succeed.
The regent wields considerable power, and if he agrees to cooperate, the Xiongnu will immediately react.
The pressure on me is much less.
"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?"
"Quickly, tell me exactly what happened."
turn out to be.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zhao Hu attacked a territory that happened to be under the control of the Regent.
After suffering a severe setback, the regent harbored deep hatred for Zhao Hu.
This time, they discovered that Zhao Hu was trying to reap the benefits in Youzhou, so they decided to cooperate with Sima Lie to get rid of Zhao Hu first.
"Okay, okay!"
Sima Lie was overjoyed and said "good" three times in a row.
His eyes gradually turned sinister, and he immediately began to give instructions.
"Of course we'd love to hear that, we'll definitely agree!"
