But the palace was quiet. It turned out that the beautiful empress had not been waiting to be picked at all. Instead, she had gone to bed and closed the bed curtains before he arrived, clearly not wanting him to get in.
Qin Yu's face immediately darkened. The Empress was aloof and had never given the so-called Emperor a second glance, let alone consummated their marriage. Since Zhao Lan disagreed, even if the Emperor was greedy, he wouldn't dare to touch her.
The so-called "serving the emperor in bed" was nothing more than the emperor sitting there alone for half an hour, waiting until the time was up, then hurriedly leaving, going back to randomly grab a palace maid, and imagining her as Zhao Lan to torture and vent his anger.
The emperor, the supreme ruler, actually has to resort to drawing pictures of cakes to satisfy hunger—how can this be tolerated!
Enraged, Qin Yu immediately stepped forward and ripped open the bed curtains!
The next second, a stunningly beautiful sleeping face instantly entered Qin Yu's eyes!
His breath caught in his throat!
Her skin was as smooth as cream, as white as jade, and her waist was so slender it could be grasped in one hand!
Her curvaceous figure was tightly wrapped in a long dress, which was slightly ruffled as she slept, vaguely revealing a pair of slender legs, half-closed and half-closed, making one want to explore them even more!
And those snow-white cleavages, at this moment, were rhythmically rising and falling with the breathing of a sleeping man...
Buzz!
Qin Yu's blood was instantly pumping!
He's no longer that useless emperor who wouldn't even dare to eat a snow-white pancake right in front of him!
With a low growl, a large, fiery hand slid down and grabbed it forcefully!
It startled the sleeping beauty awake!
"ah!"
A soft cry rang out immediately, and upon opening her eyes, she met Qin Yu's burning, dangerous gaze! Startled, her face flushed red, and her beautiful eyes filled with panic.
"How dare you... How could you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yu forcefully pulled her into his arms, his voice icy: "Dare not? I sleep with my own woman, what is there to be afraid of? Today I will personally test your 'way' as a wife."
After saying that, Qin Yu chuckled wickedly and began to grope the beauty in his arms with unrestrained force, causing her to gasp and go limp in the blink of an eye.
His face was filled with astonishment!
What on earth is going on?! In the past, as long as I lay there coldly, this tyrant wouldn't even dare to come near me!
But today, this tyrant not only got close, he even reached inside!
Is this unprecedented tyranny still the same sickly, cowardly, and incompetent ruler?
The beauty's heart trembled, and she struggled desperately with her delicate arms: "No... Your Majesty, no, I'm not..."
"Nothing! I know you didn't do it willingly, but I'm furious right now!"
With a roar, Qin Yu immediately and domineeringly sealed her uneasy lips with his own, flipping over and pressing his body against hers!
With a ripping sound!
Her long dress was torn to shreds, and her snow-white body was completely seized by Qin Yu, who began to conquer her like a madman!
"Ah...Your Majesty! No...I didn't...um..."
In the blink of an eye, a beautiful melody that made one blush filled the palace. Before the words of explanation could even be uttered, they were all lost in a flurry of incoherent rambling…
More than an hour later, Qin Yu finally called it a day, satisfied. The beauty in his arms was already limp and exhausted, covered in sweat, panting and unable to speak.
"My beloved concubine's virginity is indeed an indescribable pleasure."
Looking at the striking crimson stain on the bed sheet, Qin Yu lingered with a sense of lingering satisfaction.
He didn't hold back at all just now, and he thoroughly retaliated against the incompetent emperor who had lost face!
However, to his surprise, this icy queen, who inspired fear in countless people, showed no haughty and aloof demeanor whatsoever. Instead, she was sobbing and begging for mercy the entire time, appearing flustered and shy.
She seemed not at all like the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had a million-strong army behind her and dared to contend with the Empress Dowager, but rather a naive girl who was inexperienced and could be manipulated at will.
Is the reigning empress a stark contrast?
Thinking this, Qin Yu became even more excited. He picked up the limp body on the bed and wanted to test his guess again. The beauty in his arms immediately struggled in panic.
"Your Majesty, no! My sister is coming back soon!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's expression immediately changed!
Sister? What sister? Could it be...?
Before he could even react, a eunuch's shrill, hoarse voice rang out from outside the door.
"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"
Sister? Empress?
The one outside the door is the Empress, so who is she lying on top of?!
Bang!
Just as Qin Yu was in shock, the palace gate was suddenly pushed open!
Immediately afterwards, a stunningly beautiful face that looked almost exactly like the beauty in his arms entered Qin Yu's field of vision!
But her face was frosty, her phoenix eyes were cold, and she wore a long red and gold dress, exuding a noble aura and an unapproachable, icy presence!
Without a doubt! The one standing before us is the real Empress Zhao Lan!
It wasn't a contrast after all; I just slept with the wrong person!
Who would have thought that the Empress would have a body double?
It's her own sister-in-law!
At this moment, upon seeing the glaring crimson stain on the bed and the beautiful woman's body covered in red marks, Zhao Lan's phoenix eyes widened in shock, overwhelmed by a surge of rage!
How could she not understand what her sister had just gone through!
"You tyrant! How dare you force yourself on my sister!"
"I will kill you!"
With a cold shout, Zhao Lan immediately drew the sword hanging on the wall, gritted her teeth, and held it to Qin Yu's neck!
Her delicate brows furrowed, and her exquisitely beautiful face was filled with anger!
Three hours ago, she received a secret report that her father's army had been ambushed by the Xiongnu on the border and almost completely wiped out. They were surrounded on Baideng Mountain and were struggling to resist with the remaining soldiers. They were cut off from water and food and were in dire straits!
In the midst of the crisis, she could only hastily summon her younger sister to act as her stand-in empress, as usual, while she herself urgently left the palace to secretly meet with Zhao's trusted confidants and organize troops from all over Longxi to go to Baideng Mountain to rescue her father.
Unexpectedly, the tyrannical emperor, out of his usual lust, took advantage of her younger sister Zhao Yan today!
Zhao Lan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and pressed her sword forward fiercely!
A chill ran down Qin Yu's spine, and he felt a sudden coldness in his heart, but his brain was racing.
As a fellow stand-in, Qin Yu knew that the real person would only use a stand-in if it was an extremely urgent situation and there was no other choice.
Looking at Zhao Lan's travel-worn and hurried return, it must be that something big happened outside the palace!
The only major event related to the Zhao family was military affairs. The war between the Great Xia and the Xiongnu was at a stalemate, and the commander of the army was none other than Zhao Hu!
Could it be that something happened at the front?
Thinking of this, Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. Far from being afraid of the sword at his throat, he calmly sneered, "Killing the emperor? I bet you don't have the guts. With things going wrong at the front, your Zhao family isn't having an easy time these days, is it?"
"What! How could you..."
Zhao Lan's pretty face trembled instantly, and her beautiful eyes widened in surprise! She had received top-secret intelligence; how could the tyrannical emperor know about it!
Seeing her reaction, Qin Yu knew that her analysis was correct!
He sneered and continued to coax, "My Empress, you should think this through. Without me, the Emperor, what meaning does your existence hold? With the defeat at the front, Sima Lie will surely seize the opportunity to punish the Emperor's father-in-law. He probably needs me, the Emperor, more than anyone else right now!"
"Furthermore, although the Zhao family may command a million soldiers, I am still the supreme ruler of this Great Xia! If you dare to commit regicide, the heroes of the world will surely rise up against you. Does the Empress really want to push the Zhao family into an abyss of no return?"
Qin Yu spoke casually, but his words struck Zhao Lan like a thunderbolt, throwing her into utter chaos and causing her beautiful eyes to tremble in shock!
