She was so angry that she almost caused a disaster!
Although this lustful and incompetent ruler is now just a puppet, he is still the emperor after all!
Now that her father is besieged, the Zhao family is facing an unprecedented crisis! The reason she was able to command all sides in Longxi to rescue her father is because of her status as the Empress!
As long as he remains in power, the entire Longxi military group will firmly believe that the Zhao family still has the Great Xia imperial power firmly in their hands!
If she impulsively killed the tyrannical emperor, it would be tantamount to destroying her own Great Wall, and would also brand her entire family with the crime of treason, pushing them to the opposite side of the entire Great Xia Empire, and handing Sima Lie a tremendous opportunity!
What on earth is going on?!
In the past, the tyrant would tremble like a leaf whenever she gave him a cold look. Now that she has a sword to his neck, he should have wet himself with fear long ago! How can he still have the brains to come up with such meticulous analysis!
Zhao Yan, standing to the side, was also shocked. This domineering aura was even stronger than what she had just personally experienced!
"My beloved concubine, listen to me, throw away the sword and come to me." Seeing that she was somewhat swayed, Qin Yu chuckled and lightly flicked the sharp sword in front of his throat with his finger.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lan immediately gritted her teeth, glared fiercely at Qin Yu with her beautiful eyes, and her sword trembled angrily in her hand. After hesitating for a while, she reluctantly threw it to the ground with a clatter!
She truly dared not, and could not, bear the charge of regicide!
Zhao Lan snorted angrily, then rushed to the bedside, picked up the torn palace dress, and put it on Zhao Yan.
Her fair and delicate body was covered with glaring red marks. She couldn't even imagine how brutally her sister had been violated!
Her beautiful eyes reddened as she tightly embraced Zhao Yan, turned her head to glare at Qin Yu, and shouted angrily from her red lips!
"You tyrant! Get out of my palace immediately! You are never to set foot here again without my order!"
But this cold threat ignited a fire of war within Qin Yu's heart.
"Oh? All the land under heaven belongs to the king, where can't I go?!"
"Not to mention your palace, I can enter and leave any other place in your palace whenever I want!"
As he spoke, Qin Yu took a step forward, grabbed Zhao Lan's slender arm, and lifted her up, her petite body crashing into his arms.
"ah!"
"You tyrant! What are you doing!"
Zhao Lan's face immediately turned red, and she exclaimed repeatedly!
"What for? Of course, it's for you to fulfill your duties as a wife!"
"I have already tested your substitute; now it's time to taste the real you!"
"Ah! No...uh..."
Ignoring Zhao Lan's panicked resistance, Qin Yu grabbed her snow-white swan neck and forcefully covered her red lips with his!
This embarrassing scene made Zhao Yan, who was lying disheveled by the bed, blush furiously. She had just been...
Upon hearing Qin Yu's words about the substitute and the real body, Zhao Yan felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
Even in that matter, could she only be her sister's substitute?
"Your Majesty! There is an urgent military situation! Please come to the capital!"
Just then, a clear, cold shout suddenly rang out from outside the hall; it was the voice of the female guard captain, Xuejian!
Xuejian served the true emperor from childhood and learned martial arts, leading a personal guard of less than a hundred people.
They were arguably the only loyal force around the emperor.
She must have come in a hurry for something important. Thinking of this, Qin Yu could only suppress his surging anger and reluctantly let go of the beauty in his arms.
"Hmm..."
The next second, Zhao Lan let out a soft cry, her legs went weak and she collapsed onto the bed, her face flushed, panting heavily, her chest heaving, her beautiful eyes filled with extreme shame and indignation.
"You tyrant... one day, I will surely kill you..."
But Qin Yu was not afraid of her threat at all. He dressed with a look of relish and said with a wicked smile, "Hehe! I have something to do tonight. I will come to favor you two sisters another day. My Empress is indeed very radiant!"
Having said that, Qin Yu, ignoring the two astonished sisters, swaggered out with satisfaction.
Upon seeing this, Xuejian, dressed in armor and tall, quickly stepped forward, her small face tense, and said, "Your Majesty, we have received a secret report that Zhao Hu has been attacked, his 200,000-strong army has been defeated and surrounded, and the people of the three border counties have been massacred! And the one who stole Zhao Hu's marching route and betrayed it to the Xiongnu was Sima Lie!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's expression immediately changed. He had anticipated Zhao Hu's defeat, but he hadn't expected it to be so devastating!
In order to bring down Zhao Hu, Sima Lie actually colluded with the Xiongnu, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of Xia soldiers and civilians!
That beast! He deserves to die!
A surge of anger welled up in Qin Yu's heart!
Thump! Thump!
Just then, a loud bell suddenly rang out from the deep palace.
"Your Majesty, the morning bell has rung; it's time for court," Xuejian said respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Today's morning court session will likely not be peaceful. Xuejian, you will come with me!"
"yes!"
A moment later, in the Golden Palace, civil and military officials stood solemnly, but Sima Lie was the only one missing.
Qin Yu knew he couldn't ruin his image, so he sat down on the dragon throne as soon as he entered the hall. With a wicked grin, he grabbed the small hand of a maidservant beside him, kneaded it vigorously, and then explored it inside her skirt, letting out bursts of wicked laughter.
His debauched and decadent manner was even more vivid than that of the real emperor, causing Xuejian to frown and sigh. The officials below the stage looked on with disdain. This tyrant was simply incompetent and lustful to the core!
After he had his fill of touching, Qin Yu waved his hand contentedly and lazily ordered, "Court begins. Officials, please present your reports. If there is nothing else, court is adjourned!"
But after he finished speaking, the hall remained silent, giving him no reaction whatsoever, as if he hadn't heard a word.
Qin Yu frowned, and Xue Jian hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Sima Lie has not arrived yet. We cannot hold court until he comes."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's face darkened, and anger flared in his eyes!
What an arrogant and treacherous minister! How dare he make the emperor wait for him to begin the court session!
That's absolutely outrageous!
"The Prime Minister has arrived!"
Just then, a eunuch's shrill voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing a purple robe with a python pattern, and narrow eyes walked in with his head held high and his movements unhurried. A jewel-encrusted sword was hanging at his waist.
The officials bowed respectfully and made way for him. Sima Lie narrowed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to his seat. He glanced at Qin Yu and then waved his hand slightly.
The next second, two eunuchs respectfully brought over a vermilion armchair and placed a soft cushion on it.
Sima Lie squinted and leisurely sat down before slowly speaking: "Attend court..."
As soon as the words were spoken, all the officials immediately knelt on the ground in unison, shouting, "Greetings, Prime Minister! Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Buzz!
Seeing this, Qin Yu's eyes practically spit fire, and his teeth were grinding together so hard they were making a cracking sound!
This guy is even more arrogant than the emperor himself!
Being late for court! Wearing a sword and shoes into the palace! Not bowing when entering the court! Not paying homage to the emperor!
He even issued orders on behalf of the emperor!
Arrogant! They practically have the word "rebellion" written all over their faces!
