"Xuejian! Immediately send Jia Renyi to see the late Emperor! If he doesn't die, I'll kill you!"
"yes!"
Qin Yu roared in fury, and Xue Jian, who was guarding nearby, immediately rushed over upon receiving the order! She grabbed Jia Renyi by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and slammed him hard against a pillar!
She had long hated these hypocritical civil officials who defied the emperor, and now she showed no mercy when she took action!
Bang!
One! Two! Three!
Blood splattered everywhere! It even stained Jia Renyi's white hair red! A series of heart-wrenching screams erupted!
The excruciating pain struck, and Jia Renyi completely panicked!
In the past, he dared to confront the late emperor because the late emperor dared not leave behind the infamy of being a foolish ruler who unjustly killed loyal ministers!
But damn it, Qin Yu was a tyrannical ruler!
He's already planning to cede territory and sell out the country, so what the hell is he afraid of, unjustly killing loyal ministers? He'd even dare to torture and kill them!
I miscalculated today!
Thinking of this, Jia Renyi could no longer care about his integrity and began to beg for mercy, crying and pleading: "Your Majesty! It was this old minister who was foolish and reckless! This old minister was wrong, please spare this old minister's life!"
The heart-wrenching wails sent chills down the spines of the officials, but Qin Yu showed no sign of stopping.
Seeing Jia Renyi covered in blood and his cries for mercy growing weaker, Sima Lie could no longer remain calm.
Emperor Jia was his right-hand man, and he even needed this leader of the upright officials to win over the court. But he was killed by the tyrannical emperor. He was really at a huge loss!
Thinking of this, Sima Lie's face turned extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and could only step forward and bow, saying, "Your Majesty! Today, Lord Jia misspoke. Please forgive him for his old age."
"Regarding the matter of punishing those who suffered defeat, I have ordered the Ministry of War to conduct another investigation and report back to Your Majesty..."
Sima Lie practically spat out these words through gritted teeth!
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's lips curled slightly, and he coldly waved his hand, "Fine, Xuejian, spare his dog's life!"
"From this day forward, anyone who dares to defy me or speak recklessly about the deposition and installation of emperors in the harem will suffer the same fate as Jia Zhengyi!"
"I am the Son of Heaven! I am the supreme ruler of this Great Xia Dynasty!"
Qin Yu slowly rose, his arms outstretched with domineering power, intimidating all the officials into silence. In the sacred hall, he had brutally oppressed three generations of veterans! He had nearly beaten them to death! Qin Yu was simply the most cruel and tyrannical ruler in history!
Ignoring the astonished gazes of the officials, Qin Yu forcefully flung his dragon robe aside and strode out of the hall with his head held high!
Looking at the imposing figure before her, Xuejian, who was following behind, was momentarily stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise. She was still somewhat dazed about what had just happened at the court assembly.
The Emperor not only broke the siege of the officials who were trying to force him to abdicate, but also severely punished Sima Lie's number one lackey! It seemed absurd, but it was truly effective!
Is this... is this still the same emperor who used to be afraid of Sima Lie?
At this moment, Qin Yu's palms were sweating profusely. He had just made a fool of himself, leaving Sima Lie with a bitter pill to swallow. But this old scoundrel would never let it go so easily; he had to find a way to hide!
Thinking of this, Qin Yu immediately stopped and turned around to order, "Pass down the order! Court is suspended for three days! I will stay in my palace and pamper the Empress; I will not see anyone else!"
After saying that, Qin Yu let out a wicked laugh and impatiently urged the eunuchs carrying the dragon palanquin to hurry up.
Meanwhile, inside the Empress's palace, steam rose, and behind the screen, two snow-white legs slowly stepped into the bathtub.
Zhao Lan's black hair hung down, her snow-white body soaking in a rose petal bath.
As she listened to the report from her maid Ziyan, her beautiful eyes repeatedly rippled with surprise.
"Did this tyrannical emperor really say that? He issued an edict to rescue my father?"
Zhao Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Yu had ordered a declaration of intent to rescue her father. This would convince the various warlords in Longxi that imperial power remained under the Zhao family's control. As long as the foundation in Longxi remained intact, there was still room for maneuver on the front lines!
"Unexpectedly, this tyrant has inadvertently done me a great favor. To beat up the old imperial tutor in court is truly absurd."
A slight smile finally appeared on Zhao Lan's cold face, but then she remembered that the tyrannical emperor had openly discussed her and his intimate affairs in front of all the officials in the court. Immediately, her eyebrows furrowed and her face turned slightly red.
The fact that this tyrant is so infatuated with the Zhao family suggests that my sister must have suffered terribly last night. When I was cleaning Yan'er last night, I didn't even dare to look at how swollen and red my sister's area was. That tyrant is simply a beast.
This turning point came at the cost of my sister's suffering!
Just as Zhao Lan was feeling heartbroken, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out from outside the hall.
"Haha! Your Majesty, I've arrived!"
"Guards, quickly bring me my red pills! I want to have some fun with the Empress!"
Upon hearing this wicked laugh, Zhao Lan, who was sitting in the bathtub, panicked and hurriedly ordered Zi Yan to get her some clothes.
But it was too late. The next second, Qin Yu couldn't wait any longer and rushed in. A fragrant breeze wafted in, and Qin Yu was immediately dazzled by the large expanse of white as soon as she entered.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly welled up with tears and perked up instantly!
In the bathtub, a flustered Zhao Lan was seen with her arms crossed, tightly protecting the deep cleavage of her chest. Her face was flushed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tension!
"Get out! Who gave you permission to enter my bedchamber!"
Zhao Lanxiang's shoulders trembled, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, and she immediately bit her red lips and rebuked him angrily.
I'm completely defenseless right now! If this tyrant pulls me out, I'll be easily captured!
But at this moment, her cold, mature face, coupled with her arrogant and resistant tone, only excited Qin Yu even more!
Wow! Looks like it's the real deal today, it's the older sister's turn!
He was so excited that he pounced on her, startling Zhao Lan so much that she instinctively tried to get up. But she screamed again as soon as she stood up, her face flushed, and she hid back in the water with a splash.
The snow-white mountains flashed by, and Zhao Lan's entire delicate body was trapped in this bucket of water, with nowhere to escape!
"Get out of my way! You tyrant, how dare you! I will kill you..."
Zhao Lan cried out in alarm, but then suddenly shut her mouth!
She glanced nervously at the window paper and spotted two figures flash by.
My heart sank instantly!
Oh no! That's a spy Sima Lie planted in the palace to spy on her!
This isn't the first time she's discovered it!
It must be that old scoundrel Sima saw how favored she was during the morning court session and sent more people to keep an eye on her!
But now, these lackeys have come at a really bad time!
Qin Yu was practically reaching in; if she were to shout and fight against this tyrannical emperor, this whole drama of being the sole recipient of his favor would be exposed!
Sima Lie must be suspicious!
For a moment, Zhao Lan was so anxious she was about to cry! She held her small hands across her chest, not daring to make a sound, only staring with her big eyes, her beautiful face shaking frantically, with a hint of pleading.
Qin Yu was slightly taken aback. Why did this ice queen suddenly become so docile?
But upon glancing at the snow-white ravine so close at hand, Qin Yu's blood rushed to his head. He didn't have time to think about anything else. He plunged his large hand into the water and grabbed it forcefully!
