"Hmph, you don't want to die? Fine, then you'd better show me what use you are!"
Many of the male performers opened their mouths to speak, but the leader forcefully pressed them down.
His Majesty's words clearly indicated that he didn't want to hear any nonsense about serving him. His mind raced, and he knelt down with a thud, kowtowing directly to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please give your orders! We, your humble servants, are willing to serve you with utmost loyalty and even unto death!"
Qin Yu was very satisfied with this attitude, nodded, and waved to An Fu.
Watching the ten male performers follow An Fu into the side hall, they soon emerged with beaming smiles, bowing to Qin Yu as they left.
This scene, which seemed to have been brainwashed, made Yuzhu very curious, and she felt as if her heart was being scratched by a cat, which made her extremely itchy.
However, she had no way of knowing what had happened. What she didn't know was that Jia Zhengjin, who was enduring beatings and insults from Li Geng and others in the prison, was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Stop! What are you doing? Are you crazy? Who gave you permission to beat up Lord Jia!"
Hu Pan strode over, his face contorted with rage, and launched into a tirade of insults and beatings at the crowd.
"Nonsense! Get out of here! Lord Jia has already paid ten thousand taels of silver for each of you as atonement. You must thank Lord Jia properly after you leave!"
He then ordered his jailers to lead the people out of the prison.
This almost made Jia Zhengjin cry. What kind of situation was this? His own father didn't spend money to redeem him, but instead spent money to let these unrelated people go!
Ten thousand taels per person, ten people would be a hundred thousand taels! He might not even make that much in a month!
He secretly harbored resentment towards these ten people, including Hu Pan, who outwardly seemed to be doing it for his own good but actually sabotaged him at every turn. This bastard and these people were all birds of a feather!
Once he gets out, we'll make them pay!
He had never experienced anything so humiliating in his life: getting beaten up and then having to pay his own father to bail them out!
Just when he thought he could finally get some rest, another group of people entered the prison. Jia Zhengjin felt a surge of fear as soon as he saw them.
Ten people, just ten people again. And this time, these ten people are neither male nor female, and it's obvious that they are male prostitutes from a brothel. How did these people end up in the prison?
Just as he thought this was a conspiracy by the dog emperor against him, Hu Pan's cursing voice rang out.
"You have all offended His Majesty, so get inside and reflect on your actions. If you can't come up with something convincing, you'll be stuck in this prison until you die!"
Seeing that the other party had been driven to a cell by Hu Pan, Jia Zhengjin breathed a sigh of relief. He watched Li Geng and the others leave, finally able to get a good night's sleep.
But just as Jia Zhengjin was about to fall asleep, he turned over and felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if his whole body was about to split open. This excruciating pain made it impossible for him to fall asleep, and his face became contorted with rage.
"Li Geng, once I get out of here, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Secretly harboring resentment towards these people, Jia Zhengjin was just about to fall asleep when he vaguely heard the clanging sound of iron chains hanging on the ground.
Frowning, Jia Zhengjin, who was about to start cursing, was too tired and could only fall back asleep. But the next second, a pair of warm, wet hands pressed down on his shoulders.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Jia Zhengjin witnessed the deepest nightmare of his life, his eyes wide with disbelief.
A group of flamboyantly dressed, muscular men with heavy makeup were staring at him with fawning smiles, their expressions filling Jia Zhengjin with endless panic.
Jia Zhengjin was all too familiar with this lecherous look. Back when he was enjoying himself in the brothel, he had the same expression when he set his sights on the incredibly delicate young woman!
However, these ten people now had an even greater excitement on their faces!
"Get out! Get out of here! All of you, get out!"
He struggled desperately to escape, but a series of large hands reached out and immobilized Jia Zhengjin. The ten men had a clear division of labor, and even a military general like Jia Zhengjin was helpless in this situation.
Amidst his terrified screams, his clothes were removed one by one until he lay on the ground looking like a lifeless, boiled chicken.
The giggles of more than a dozen male sex workers, along with his screams, sounded so chilling in the silent night sky that it was terrifying to even hear about.
For these ten male performers, the words of the chief eunuch left a deep impression on them. The young master in front of them, who had a penchant for homosexuality, was a true nobleman in the capital. If they performed well tonight and caught his eye, then rising to high positions would be a piece of cake for them!
To soar to the top and become the young master's darling is a dream come true for male performers like them.
Moreover, this gentleman in front of us comes from a prestigious family and has been pampered since childhood. He has fair skin and delicate features and is quite handsome!
As a result, these troublemakers absolutely adore it!
The screams didn't completely stop until early the next morning, but Jia Renyi, who was attending the morning court, had no idea what kind of torture his son had endured the night before.
What baffles him now is why his colleagues, who used to chat and laugh with him all the time, are now ignoring him and avoiding him like the plague.
Previously, all the civil and military officials had been incredibly flattering to him. Before he even came over, the flattering words had already arrived. Why have they all changed their tune today?
After a moment's thought, he could only sigh at the coldness of the world. He and his son had only temporarily lost power, yet these snobbish bastards had completely ignored them.
With a cold snort, remembering those who had flattered him before but now ignored him, Jia Renyi continued to wait for Qin Yu's arrival as usual.
Clearly, Qin Yu, this incompetent and foolish emperor, arrived at the main hall a full quarter of an hour late, yawning repeatedly, under the watchful eyes of his officials.
He was unsteady on his feet, with puffy eye bags, as if he had been drained dry.
His appearance of kidney deficiency, which was so severe, led to much discussion among the civil and military officials.
Just as everyone was about to say something, Jia Renyi was the first to rush forward.
"Your Majesty is in good health. Seeing Your Majesty is like being bathed in a spring breeze, like a fish in water!"
"Your Majesty has submitted a memorial stating that there are not enough concubines in the harem, and Your Majesty currently has no heir. Therefore, you should recruit beautiful women from among the common people to enrich the harem!"
