Therefore, he has to stall for time.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu said casually:
"No rush. There's no need to rush these few days. I heard from Abbot Liu that seven days from now is an auspicious day. Let's set off in seven days."
Although Qin Yu only made up a random excuse, the ministers had no objections to it.
Sima Lie's lips twitched slightly; he couldn't wait to send Zhang Tang on his way.
But now we have to wait another seven days.
The problem is that he can't say anything yet.
He never expected that this tyrannical emperor could be controlled by a woman.
This won't do. Even if he has to be controlled by a woman, she must obey his every word.
Therefore, when he returns, he will definitely give Sima Jing a good talking-to so that she can quickly win the favor of this tyrant, and then use Sima Jing as a pawn to completely control the tyrant!
Thinking of this, Sima Lie smiled sinisterly and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. In that case, let's set it for seven days from now!"
Sooner or later, Zhang Tang is going to die anyway, so he just needs to be patient and wait.
Qin Yu remained expressionless, still wearily asking:
"My esteemed ministers, is there anything else you wish to report?"
The ministers exchanged glances, and seeing that no one spoke, Qin Yu announced:
"Court adjourned!"
After saying this, he led his men away from the Golden Palace.
...
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study.
The scene was a complete mess, with clothes scattered all over the ground.
Sima Jing groggily woke up, looking around at her surroundings in a daze.
"hiss……"
She frowned, rubbed her forehead, and forced herself to sit up.
Only when she got up did she realize something was wrong, and she quickly wrapped herself in the blanket.
She wasn't wearing any clothes at all!
Where is this? Sima Jing looked around in astonishment, and memories of last night gradually surfaced in her mind.
This is the Imperial Study!
Sima Jing thought of what happened last night and her face turned pale with fright.
Scenes that are unbearable to look at
Did that tyrannical emperor take her body?
Sima Jing still clung to a sliver of hope, thinking she was dreaming, and quickly pulled back the covers to look down.
Upon seeing this, she trembled instantly. Not only was there blood on the bed, but her lower body also throbbed with pain.
She wasn't dreaming.
Sima Jing burst into tears, her voice hoarse, and muttered to herself:
"Father, Mother, I'm so sorry. I was defiled by the son of my enemy..."
Sima Jing wept bitterly, unable to bear it any longer. Last night, she had actually slept with the son of her enemy!
Sima Jing was once in despair, not knowing what to do.
At that moment, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the opened jar of wine again.
"It's all because of this evil wine!"
Sima Jing was furious. He smashed the wine jar on the ground and cursed angrily:
"That shameless, incompetent ruler! How could he have kept such a bottle of wicked wine, causing me to fall into such a state? When I have the chance, I will definitely kill you!"
Sima Jing's eyes reddened again as she finished speaking.
Aside from venting her frustrations, it was all for naught.
Sima Jing knew that Qin Yu must have gone to court, and judging by the time, he would probably be back soon.
She didn't want to see that shameless, incompetent ruler again, otherwise she might really lose control of her murderous intent.
So she picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, put them on, and then hurriedly left the room.
As soon as I pushed open the door, a gust of cool wind rushed towards me.
It was already bright outside, and the sun was shining brightly.
Her maid, Ruyan, had been guarding outside the palace all night. When she saw Sima Jing come out, she immediately came forward to help him up.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Ruyan asked worriedly.
The next instant, a heavy slap landed on her cheek.
"Smack—"
Sima Jing was furious and shouted angrily:
"I ask you, didn't you hear any noise last night? Why didn't you go in and save me!"
Ruyan covered her burning left cheek, knelt down with her head down, and said tremblingly with tears in her eyes:
"This servant...this servant thought last night was the same as usual, that Your Majesty was just fooling that tyrannical emperor, could it be..."
After saying this, Ruyan noticed that Sima Jing's condition was not right.
Not only was her hair loose, but her neck was also covered in countless red marks. Only then did she remember that the other person had been walking with a limp when they left home.
"Could it be that Your Majesty..."
Ru Yan's mind exploded. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she asked in horror:
"Your Majesty, could it be that that tyrannical emperor has taken your virginity?"
Sima Jing was furious. She kicked her and roared viciously:
"Enough with the nonsense, go find me a new palace dress, mine is dirty!"
She clearly remembered that the very first time the tyrannical emperor lifted her clothes, he simply left her dressed.
"Yes, I will go find it right away."
Ruyan wiped away her tears, stood up, and hurriedly ran outside to find clean palace attire.
...
At this moment, Wang Zhen was leading his men, carrying a jar of wine, heading excitedly towards the Imperial Study.
"Master Eunuch, do you think the Emperor would like that Extreme Joy Wine?"
His subordinate asked somewhat nervously.
Last night, Wang Zhen presented the emperor with a jar of "Extreme Joy Wine," but the foolish emperor didn't say anything on the surface. Who knows whether he actually liked it or not?
Wang Zhen became very interested when the topic came up, and said excitedly, "Needless to say? His Majesty will definitely like it! Consort Jing is alluring and beautiful, and with our Extreme Pleasure Wine, His Majesty has probably already experienced the taste of ultimate bliss last night!"
His subordinate was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "But isn't one jar of wine enough? Why send another one?"
Wang Zhen chuckled and said mysteriously, "You wouldn't believe it, but this pot of Extreme Joy wine is even more potent than the one from last night!"
"Oh?" The subordinate was puzzled and pressed, "Master, please tell me, what is the difference between these two?"
"Of course there's a difference!"
Wang Zhen said smugly, "Yesterday's pot of wine was just ordinary Jihuan wine, but this pot is different."
As he spoke, he pointed to the wine jar in his arms and continued to keep everyone in suspense, saying, "This pot of Extreme Joy Wine is made from ordinary Extreme Joy Wine using a special method, and its effects far surpass those of last night's Extreme Joy Wine!"
Wang Zhen chuckled, head held high with a smug look on his face, and headed towards the study.
Wang Zhen's imagination ran wild, and he couldn't help but grin, as if he could already see himself rising through the ranks and being admired by thousands.
"At that time, I, Wang Zhen, will be a man of immense power in the court!"
Wang Zhen became increasingly excited, wishing he could present the blissful wine to the tyrannical emperor right now.
However, at one corner, Wang Zhen bumped into a petite figure.
"Hey...who is it? Can't you watch where you're going?!"
Wang Zhen covered his nose and subconsciously glanced at the wine jar.
Because of the collision, several eunuchs were instantly huddled together, causing half of the wine to spill.
