But the next moment, she suddenly let out a soft cry, and her body trembled slightly.
Looking down, she saw Qin Yu grasp her soft breasts with one hand and knead them wantonly.
No, something's not right.
He clearly remembered that the hand felt firm and upright yesterday, but now it felt soft and watery, which was somewhat similar to the hand of Zhao Yan.
Upon realizing this, Qin Yu was immediately alarmed, frowned, and questioned in a low voice.
"You're a stand-in! Where is the Empress?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan snapped out of her daze, staring at Qin Yu in disbelief, and blurted out a question.
How did you know?!
Then she suddenly remembered something, her beautiful eyes widened, and she stared straight at Qin Yu, gritting her teeth: "I am Zhao Yan! I am not a substitute!"
That bastard! He forced himself on her and then kept calling her a substitute!
Could it be that he doesn't dare offend his older sister, so he uses her, his weak younger sister, as a substitute?
This would be an immense humiliation for any woman!
For some reason, Zhao Yan felt a pang of sadness welling up in her heart, but when she admitted it herself, Qin Yu's heart immediately settled down, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Since he's a stand-in, what is he afraid of?
Today, I'm going to bully the honest kid! I'll just knock him down!
"Hehe, I have my own clever ways to distinguish you sisters, you don't need to know them. But since you two sisters look alike, and the Empress is not here, then you, the younger sister, will take over!"
Without further ado, he tore the last piece of clothing covering her body to shreds and covered her with it.
Just then, Zhao Yan caught a glimpse of a dark shadow suddenly appearing outside the window.
Without a doubt, it must be another spy sent by Sima Lie to monitor my sister.
If I struggle now, it will surely arouse suspicion.
Thinking of this, she could only nervously bite her lip, letting Qin Yu's large hands roam over her body. Everywhere he touched, she felt a tingling sensation, making her weak all over and moaning softly.
She could only watch helplessly as Qin Yu encroached upon her territory, advancing unimpeded.
Caught between visual and auditory stimulation, Qin Yu felt even more excited...
As night deepened, the noise inside continued.
The eunuch who had been waiting outside finally couldn't hold back any longer. He cursed under his breath and turned to leave.
Qin Yu tirelessly worked on Zhao Yan for over an hour, until the lovely woman in his arms sobbed and begged with tears streaming down her face, before he reluctantly let her go.
Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Qin Yu slept exceptionally soundly.
The next morning, when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yan's jade-like arms wearily clinging to his chest, fast asleep in his arms.
Eyelashes, like palm-leaf fans, hung on the eyelids, trembling gently.
Her glossy pink lips were turned down, and with the tear stains on her small face, she looked as if she had suffered some injustice.
After yesterday's ordeal, she is now completely naked, her body revealing its full beauty.
This scene seemed incredibly tempting to Qin Yu.
He couldn't help but feel his mouth go dry, and reached out towards Zhao Yan.
The sudden touch startled Zhao Yan awake from her sleep.
The moment she opened her eyes, she met Qin Yu's fiery gaze.
After being tormented all night, she is still swollen and in pain. If this happens again, will she be able to get out of bed today?
Zhao Yan looked terrified and quickly pushed Qin Yu's hand away. She then pulled the blanket over herself and hurriedly explained.
"Although His Majesty has suspended court for three days, the affairs of state cannot wait for anyone. It is time for His Majesty to go to the Imperial Study to handle state affairs!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was taken aback.
Memories of yesterday flooded his mind, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Sima Jing, that vixen, failed yesterday and will certainly not give up.
He was able to escape last time only because Anfu intervened.
If he goes to the Imperial Study now, wouldn't he be rushing to his death?
No, I have to find a way to avoid Sima Jing!
His gaze fell on Zhao Yan's flustered face, and a plan immediately came to him.
Since Zhao Lan isn't here, and this person in front of me is easy to manipulate.
These next few days, I'd better stay in the Empress's palace to avoid falling for the soul-capturing spell again.
Having made up his mind, he waved at her with a wicked smile and said nonchalantly.
"The affairs of the court are nothing but old, trivial matters. What's there to deal with? I've finally got some free time, so naturally I want to enjoy myself for a while longer!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan frowned slightly.
My sister will not be able to return to the palace for at least three days.
Last night was only the first night, and he had already exhausted her to this state. If he stayed any longer... Thinking of being bullied like this by the tyrant for the next few days, she involuntarily gripped the corner of the blanket, her face filled with panic.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast!"
It was Zi Yan's voice.
"knew!"
Zhao Yan immediately turned her back to her snow-white body, dressed herself, and hurriedly got out of bed.
Qin Yu got out of bed at a leisurely pace. He had been fighting all night and hadn't felt hungry until Zi Yan reminded him.
After getting dressed, Qin Yu got up to have a meal together.
After the two were seated, the eunuchs from the imperial kitchen brought out the prepared breakfast dishes one by one.
There were a total of eight dishes for just one breakfast.
In addition, there was a bowl of porridge and a plate of steamed buns.
Even in modern times, this meal would be considered quite extravagant.
But the presence of only a single bowl and chopsticks on the table created an awkward silence.
It seems the imperial kitchen staff thought he had returned to the Imperial Study, and therefore did not prepare a portion for him.
Zhao Yan cautiously glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, afraid that he would lose his temper.
The expected scenario did not occur.
Qin Yu simply flicked his sleeves and sat down without hesitation.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he picked up a bowl of porridge with his left hand and took a steamed bun from the plate with his right hand, about to put it in his mouth.
Seeing his reaction, Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her chopsticks.
But Qin Yu stopped when the steamed bun was about to be eaten.
Disaster can strike from the mouth. The situation in the court is fraught with danger. He was tricked by Sima Jing just yesterday. Now that things have finally settled down, he has to be careful in everything he does.
"Wait!"
He quickly spoke up to stop Zhao Yan's actions.
Zhao Yan frowned, puzzled, and looked at him.
He deftly put down what he was holding, then took out the silver hairpin from Zhao Yan's hair and stirred each dish to test for poison.
But the next second, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly trembled, and a look of horror quickly surged into his pupils!
The section of the once shiny silver hairpin, now stained with vegetable soup, turned completely black.
He was only testing the poison out of caution.
But unexpectedly, the dish was actually poisonous!
"Yes, it's poisoned! Who is so bold as to poison the Emperor!"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan's expression changed drastically, and she quickly dropped the chopsticks in her hand.
Could it be that the emperor's defense of the Zhao family in front of all the court officials angered Sima Lie, so he decided to take action ahead of time, assassinate the emperor and seize the throne?
If that's the case, then wouldn't the Zhao family be finished too?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan's face turned even paler.
Qin Yu frowned, put away the silver hairpin, and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in her heart.
Luckily, he was careful, otherwise he would be a corpse by now!
