Yu Zhu was in excruciating pain, but she had no choice but to please the tyrannical emperor.
After kneading the little one in his arms for a while, Qin Yu snorted and pushed him to the ground.
"Hmph, get up and give me a shoulder massage!"
Faced with the unpredictable Qin Yu, Yu Zhu dared not say anything and quickly got up to serve him.
Her small hands kneaded Qin Yu's shoulders, the perfect pressure making Qin Yu very satisfied.
Three soft knocks interrupted the gentle embrace of love, and Qin Yu slowly spoke.
"Come in."
The person who arrived was none other than Anfu.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Sima has arrived with several vice ministers from the Ministry of War and the military supervisor from the front lines. They are waiting outside the palace and say they have important military information to report."
Upon hearing Anfu's words, Qin Yu's face immediately darkened. What else could be the important military intelligence he was talking about at this time, besides Zhao Hu's matter?
Bringing the heads of the Ministry of War here, isn't it just an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate?
With a cold snort, Qin Yu feigned rage, picked up the inkstone on the table, and threw it down.
"Get out of here. Tell them not to disturb my pleasure. I want to have some intimate time with my beauty. Let them wait outside."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and continued to play with the jade beads in his arms.
His hands were fidgeting while he was spouting nonsense.
"My little beauty, I'll take the red pill soon, and then we can continue playing with the flying machine together~"
Seeing Qin Yu's lecherous and hungry appearance, Yu Zhu was immediately terrified and lost her composure.
But just as Chen Song was about to collect some more interest, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.
Sima Lie led the way, bringing Jia Renyi and a group of officials with him as he barged in.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Who gave you permission to come in!"
Anfu rushed forward to try to stop them, but was kicked away by Sima Lie, and the attendants behind him pushed Anfu to the ground.
"Big, bold! Come..."
"Alright, Anfu, you can go now."
Qin Yu slumped in his chair, his eyes narrowed, watching Sima Lie's performance with a heart full of rage.
Although Anfu was just a eunuch, he was still the emperor's household servant!
Even if someone makes a mistake or is impolite, it is up to him to punish them; it is not up to outsiders to decide!
This study is his territory! Sima Lie, that wolf in sheep's clothing, really doesn't take him seriously at all!
However, circumstances were beyond Qin Yu's control, and he could only grit his teeth and harbor resentment in his heart. His desire for Zhao Hu to return and counterbalance Sima grew stronger.
"Prime Minister, is there something urgent that you've come today? I have other important matters to attend to."
Looking at Qin Yu's decadent and lecherous appearance, Sima Lie was filled with contempt. This emperor was so incompetent; it was no wonder that his Sima family ascended to the throne!
Important matters? What a load of rubbish! You idiot who only knows how to play around with women!
Although he didn't take it seriously, Sima Lie still began to list Zhao Hu's crimes as prepared.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial here that details eighteen crimes committed by Zhao Hu, each with testimony from the military supervisor. I implore Your Majesty to examine it carefully."
After taking the charge from Anfu, Qin Yu looked him up and down and immediately flew into a rage.
"Outrageous! This is utterly outrageous!"
Suddenly standing up from his seat, Qin Yu angrily slammed the memorial in his hand and paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
"Your Majesty, I believe that General Zhao's actions are despicable and must be severely punished!"
Alright, Qin Yu was already furious looking at the fabricated charge. He only needed to add fuel to the fire and he would surely be able to kill Zhao Hu!
Sima Lie was particularly excited about Qin Yu pacing back and forth in deep thought. What method would this tyrant use to kill Zhao Hu?
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Qin Yu stopped abruptly, his expression becoming very expectant.
Sima Lie and his entourage stared wide-eyed, eager to see what their emperor would say, but instead watched as Qin Yu's expression changed from anger to a lewd grin.
"I've got it! Zhao Hu isn't in the capital, but the Zhao family is!"
"It's decided then. Tonight, I will torment the Empress thoroughly and punish her severely!"
"puff!"
Sima Lie and his entourage, who had been waiting for this moment, almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing these words.
This tyrant is utterly clueless! He drags women into everything! Is he so obsessed with sex that he can't get out of bed? His mind is filled with nothing but lewd thoughts.
They all felt like they had punched cotton.
Sima Lie was so angry that his temples throbbed. They were talking about matters of state, but this foolish emperor was only thinking about matters of love and sex.
Even Sima Lie, who considered himself to be quite composed, couldn't hold back any longer. Jia Zhengyi, who was following behind him, was even more so, peeking around and looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Qin Yu secretly laugh.
"Master Jia, is there something you need? You seem hesitant to speak. Just say what you have to say. I'm not the kind of person who won't listen to advice."
Seeing Qin Yu's cold expression, Jia Zhengyi panicked and kept looking at Sima Lie beside him, as if he were his pillar of support.
Seeing Jia Zhengyi's timid and hesitant demeanor, Sima stepped forward speechlessly, cupped his hands in greeting, and said...
"Your Majesty, I believe that Jia Zhengjin, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, is not someone who would cause trouble in the harem. He simply offended the Empress by mistake. Furthermore, both Jia and his son are wholeheartedly devoted to the country and its people, and they are willing to help Your Majesty resolve your troubles."
"More than 30 years have passed since then. From both a public and private perspective, he should not be severely punished, otherwise it will discourage officials."
"I humbly believe that a minor warning should be issued to reassure the public."
Qin Yu almost fell asleep listening to that rant. It was all so righteous and indignant that anyone who didn't know better would think that the Jia family father and son were the weaklings, while he, the emperor, was the one who committed atrocities!
This ability to distort the truth is truly chilling.
With a cold snort, Qin Yu smiled slightly and spoke.
"Prime Minister, you are mistaken. Didn't I give the Jia family father and son another option? They can be spared punishment by paying enough silver."
"But Your Majesty, the Jia family father and son cannot produce it..."
"Can't come up with the money? You think I'll just let them off so easily? What, Prime Minister, you'll pay for it?"
"It's so damn disgusting to be so shameless!" Jia Zhengyi cursed Qin Yu in his heart. How could he be so inhuman? He was, after all, the emperor, who was second only to the emperor!
That bastard emperor, he really won't act until he sees the benefits!
It's unbelievable that he could say such a thing. That much silver is something the entire Jia family couldn't scrape together even if they squeezed it dry!
Jia Renyi gritted his teeth in hatred, but although he secretly resented Qin Yu's ugly behavior, his son was still in prison and it would be too late if he didn't get out soon!
