Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was startled.
Ten days ago?
Wouldn't that be the perfect day for the two sisters to switch identities?
It seems that Zhao Yan was accidentally discovered when she entered the palace.
She had been extremely wary of the palace's spies, and her act had kept them completely unaware. Now it seemed that the two sisters had been negligent.
I must find a time to give them a special reminder in the future, otherwise, something terrible will definitely happen!
While pondering this in his heart, Qin Yu feigned a furious expression!
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up instantly, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"What? This is actually true?"
"What does this Empress take me for? What does she take the imperial dignity for?"
"Where's Zhu Fei? Zhu Fei!"
Zhu Fei, who had been summoned, quickly approached and said, "Your humble servant is here. Please give your orders, Your Majesty."
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Get to the bottom of this!"
"yes!"
Seeing that the fabricated scheme to sow discord had worked, the emperor was furious, and Sima Jing was naturally overjoyed.
Only after getting closer did she reach out her delicate hand and gently rub the emperor's chest.
"His Majesty……"
"Please calm down... This Empress is ignorant, but Your Majesty, you still have your sensible concubine. I have Your Majesty's heart at heart and would never do such a heinous crime as she did!"
Sima Jing can be quite awful at times, and as a woman, she's also too flirtatious.
But it must be said that she is indeed stunningly beautiful, exuding an irresistible allure!
Every step seemed meticulously designed, graceful and captivating, her eyes always burning with passion, as if a thousand words were being provocatively conveyed, as if she could easily penetrate one's soul.
Her red lips parted slightly, her breath as sweet as orchids, each word seemingly carrying a sweet poison, intoxicating and irresistible.
With that tone of voice and those caressing hands, which man could resist?
Qin Yu was momentarily dazed and unconsciously took her jade-like hand in his grasp, then began to caress it vigorously.
Of course, he also used his other hand to take advantage of the situation and grope her.
Seeing that this foolish emperor had been so easily charmed by his words, Sima Lie was naturally very pleased with himself, but at the same time, he was extremely disdainful of him.
Taking the opportunity, she brought it up directly.
"Your Majesty... I have thought about this carefully and I have a different opinion on the matter of the Xiongnu prince being killed."
He suddenly applied force to her ample breasts with his large hand, and she let out a soft cry. Only then did Qin Yu ask with a mischievous smile.
"Oh? My dear concubine, what are your thoughts?"
Sima Jing felt that the tyrant's hand was too strong, and she felt a slight pain. She gritted her teeth and said, "I personally believe that Zhao Jian was responsible for the killing of the Xiongnu prince! I heard that General Gao Chao was incompetent on the front line in Youzhou. He didn't have the ability to kill the Xiongnu prince!"
The intention to exonerate is all too obvious.
Qin Yu sneered inwardly, but feigned displeasure.
"What do you mean Gao killed Zhao? Isn't it enough that the Xiongnu prince who angered me is dead? Why bother with all that?"
As he spoke, he pulled her over and pressed her onto his lap.
The latter was already cursing in his heart.
What kind of extraordinary emperor was this?
A prince of a nation died far from home, and he actually said that the person who attacked and killed him was not important?
"Your Majesty, you can't say that..."
"If you want me to see it, then don't say anything!" Qin Yu interrupted her violently, and a large hand leaped from her beautiful back to her head.
"You're in my arms right now! Focus! I'm furious, extremely furious!"
Having said that, his large hand pressed down forcefully.
Sima Jing was forcibly controlled, with nowhere to retreat or avoid it.
She parted her teeth slightly, about to speak, but just then, she started eating...
After a violent ordeal, Sima Jing blushed and ran out, covering her mouth.
That damned tyrant, he always does it like this!
hateful!
Utterly hateful!
Perhaps she was so engrossed in her angry rant that she didn't notice the figure around the corner.
Bang!
He bumped right into Qingzhu, who had come pretending to deliver elixirs.
Sima Jing wanted to curse as soon as she opened her mouth.
But as soon as she removed her hand from her mouth and opened it, a flash of white light appeared, and her beautiful eyes widened in terror. She quickly closed her mouth again, glared fiercely at Qingzhu, and then hurriedly ran away.
"Your Highness, it's all my fault!"
Qingzhu was a little surprised to see that Sima Jing, who was usually extremely harsh, did not blame her too much.
"That's really strange!"
Turning into the study, the emperor was still slumped on the dragon throne, seemingly savoring something, when he heard Qingzhu arrive. He quickly straightened up and raised his head.
However, seeing that Qingzhu's clothes were somewhat disheveled and his expression was strange, he couldn't bear to ask directly.
"What's wrong with you? Is someone in the palace bullying you? Why aren't you dressed properly?"
"No, no!" Qingzhu then realized that the hard impact had knocked open the buttons on her clothes.
"This servant accidentally bumped into Consort Jing just now, but she... I still feel like there's a certain smell about her."
Qin Yu suppressed a laugh, but pretended to be serious and asked.
"Oh? What does it taste like?"
"Hmm... I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe she's often with His Majesty."
"It smells like dragon!"
I was afraid to continue talking, so I just had to laugh out loud.
Qin Yu immediately sat up straight and then asked seriously.
"Speak, what brings you here?"
"Your Majesty, following your instructions, Qingyun Temple has used the incense money collected over the years to open a rouge shop in the capital."
"Master Liu has already thought of a name for the shop: 'Rouge and Powder Pavilion.' The first and second floors will be used to store the face masks, cosmetics, and other items that you have specially invented."
Qin Yu frowned as he listened to her report.
A brothel?
What kind of ridiculous name did Abbot Liu come up with?
"Your Majesty, do you not think it's good?"
"It's not just bad, it's unacceptable!"
Qin Yu shook his head repeatedly and said bluntly, "This shop name is nothing special, it's as ordinary as can be!"
"The capital is a prosperous and wealthy place in the Great Xia Dynasty, with many noble ladies and countless shops selling rouge. The competition is fierce. How can a shop with such an ordinary name stand out?"
When doing business, especially opening a store, the first step is to attract people with a signboard. If the store name is not good, how can the business develop in the future?
Even if they sell the best stuff inside, no one will be able to tell.
Qingzhu pouted; she thought the shop name was normal and quite good.
"What does His Majesty say should be changed to?"
After a moment's thought, Qin Yu made the suggestion directly.
"Let's call it the Women's Lifestyle Center!"
This name is now commonplace in later generations, but in this era, it's a game-changer.
"Lifestyle store?" Qingzhu looked puzzled. "But our store sells cosmetics and face powder. This name sounds strange."
As she spoke, she took out a blueprint from the box containing the pills and respectfully handed it over.
"Your Majesty, take a look. This is Abbot Liu's idea for the arrangement of products in the rouge shop."
