He turned around, put the rope back on his back, and continued pulling the grain.
The two rode at full speed back to Zuihualou.
Upon seeing them return, the flustered madam rushed forward and led them inside.
"You're finally back! Oh no! Something terrible has happened to the two young masters!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly followed the madam to check.
Inside the room, Yin Dang and Wu Chi were lying on the bed, their limbs twitching uncontrollably, their eyes rolling back, and foaming at the mouth.
Qin Yu was greatly alarmed upon seeing this.
This is a huge mistake!
If the two of them had died like that, Sima Lie would definitely have suspected that he had deliberately silenced them.
His plan to use this opportunity to escape suspicion has failed.
No, we can't let them die!
He frowned and quickly gave instructions to Anfu.
"Quick, save them!"
Anfu clearly didn't expect things to turn out this way.
He quickly grabbed a jug of cold water and splashed it on their faces, trying to bring them back to their senses.
But obviously, it didn't work.
In his anxiety, Anfu didn't care about anything else. He quickly rolled up his sleeves, grabbed one of the men, and slapped him hard across the face.
Looking at his unique way of saving people, Qin Yu even suspected that he was using the excuse of saving people to settle personal scores.
They were slapped repeatedly, their faces were swollen, and there was still no sign of improvement.
The two of them had been twitching a few times, but this time they fell completely silent.
It's over! It's all over!
Qin Yu's heart sank.
The people gathered at the entrance to watch the spectacle gasped in astonishment.
Just then, a cold yet extremely pleasant voice reached my ears.
"Eyes rolled back, bodies convulsing—these two are suffering from penile shrinkage due to excessive sexual activity!"
Upon hearing this, the people who had been blocking the doorway made way for them.
Qin Yu couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.
A woman wearing a light green dress and a purple veil walked in with a graceful figure.
Her finely drawn eyebrows resembled the green mountains of spring, giving her a very spirited appearance.
Those long, narrow phoenix eyes that were exposed should have been affectionate and gentle, but instead they were filled with coldness and a sense of distance.
Through the veil, Qin Yu could vaguely make out the outline of her facial features.
What a beautiful woman!
Upon arriving here, he felt he had seen many beauties: the gentle and shy Zhao Yan, the cold and domineering Zhao Lan, and the alluring and charming Sima Jing.
They were all beautiful in their own way, but none of them were as breathtakingly beautiful as the person in front of them.
"Ruyan, go back quickly! It's not your wedding day yet, you absolutely mustn't show your face! The entire Drunken Flower Pavilion has been building up to your wedding for a long time, you can't let us down at this crucial moment!"
The madam's voice interrupted Qin Yu's thoughts.
Only then did everyone realize that this was Bai Ruyan, the most beautiful courtesan in Qinhuai.
Before Qin Yu could react, everyone gasped and their eyes were glued to Bai Ruyan.
Bai Ruyan frowned slightly and spoke in a cool tone.
"With the wedding day approaching, if someone dies at Zuihua Pavilion, it will inevitably damage the pavilion's reputation. If Zuihua Pavilion is gone, what use is there for me, the top courtesan? I can save these two people, so I naturally cannot let them go unattended!"
Hearing this, the madam was speechless and could only retreat to the side with a pained expression.
Seeing that she said there was hope, Qin Yu didn't care about anything else and quickly cupped his hands in thanks.
"Since you can save them, then I'll trouble you to save my two friends!"
Upon hearing that the two were his friends, Bai Ruyan raised her hand in disgust, covered her nose, and walked away.
After a quick look around, she turned her head and asked the two maids following behind her.
"Do you remember how I taught you before? Follow my method and use a hairpin to prick the corresponding acupoints to bleed them and restore yang!"
The two maids nodded and quickly pulled out their hairpins, then stabbed them towards Yin Dang and Wu Chi's lower bodies.
The movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
As if they were used to seeing this scene.
In just a few moments, the two people lying on the bed screamed and jumped up.
Seeing this, the maid quickly removed the hairpin and retreated.
Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that you're not dead! It's good that you're not dead!
I have to thank this beautiful woman in front of me for allowing me to survive this ordeal today.
Qin Yu quickly took out a silver note from his sleeve and thanked her.
"Thank you so much for saving me today, young lady. Please accept this small token of my gratitude!"
Yin Dang and Wu Chi indulged in debauchery to the point of exhaustion in the brothel.
And since the person in front of them was one of their cronies, he was obviously no better.
Bai Ruyan didn't even glance at him, her face filled with icy coldness. She left with a single sentence before turning and departing.
"You're overthinking it. I'm just helping myself!"
A beautiful woman passed by, leaving a fragrant breeze behind her.
Seeing Bai Ruyan leave, everyone scattered in a flurry.
Qin Yu watched Bai Ruyan leave, feeling extremely annoyed.
Seeing the two men clutching their bleeding thighs and screaming in agony, Anfu coldly reprimanded them.
"Don't forget, you two are here to protect the Emperor. How can you be so disrespectful?"
Qin Yu feigned displeasure and kicked them, cursing angrily.
"I finally managed to get out of the palace for a bit of fun, but you two disgraceful fools ruined it. What bad luck! Anfu, let's go back to the palace!"
Seeing that Qin Yu was about to leave, Yin Dang and Wu Chi disregarded their injuries and hurriedly followed.
Upon returning to the palace, Qin Yu immediately went straight to the Imperial Study.
The table was already piled high with memorials sent by court officials.
He sat comfortably on the dragon throne, casually pulled out a few books, and flipped through them.
The entire group inside wanted him to immediately execute the Pillar of State Duke.
Without a doubt, it must have been that old scoundrel Sima Lie who instigated it.
Qin Yu felt a surge of anger, but with eunuchs and palace maids watching him, he had no choice but to pretend to be calm.
He glanced at it casually, then leaned back on the dragon throne and began to observe with great interest.
Just then, there was a noise outside the door.
"The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice requests an audience with the Emperor!"
"Come in!"
Xing Tian, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice?
Without thinking, he immediately told them to come in.
Xing Tian rushed in, clutching a stack of Xuan paper, and immediately began to speak.
"Your Majesty, the crimes of the Duke of Zhuguo over the years are all here. I urge Your Majesty to review them and make a decision as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, he presented the evidence with both hands.
But Qin Yu didn't answer for a long time, still looking at the memorial with great interest, nodding and laughing from time to time.
This foolish emperor is actually reviewing memorials. When did he change his ways and become so diligent?
Xing Tian was very puzzled.
Driven by curiosity, he moved forward, clutching the evidence.
He was completely dumbfounded when he saw it.
What kind of memorial are they looking at?
Hidden inside the memorial was a storybook filled with obscene erotic illustrations.
The scene was incredibly embarrassing, but Qin Yu watched it with great interest.
As if sensing Xing Tian's presence, Qin Yu turned around and raised an eyebrow at him with a lewd grin.
"Lord Xing, I've heard that you enjoy visiting brothels and drinking wine in your spare time. You've also recently taken a new concubine, who is the most beautiful courtesan in the brothel. I imagine her skills in serving people are no less than those depicted in these erotic paintings, are they?"
