"It's supposed to hurt, but this is just the beginning. We brought enough Thousand Insect Pills for five days. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better go and apologize to that tyrant!"
"Remember this well, this is your only chance, otherwise your future days will be a hundred or a thousand times more painful than today!"
The white-haired old woman had a sinister look on her face, and her wrinkled eyes were full of fierce light!
"Get out! Get out..."
Sima Jing struggled painfully, her long fingernails almost digging into her flesh, screaming hoarsely, her eyes bloodshot.
The two old women exchanged a glance, then turned and left.
...
It got dark.
The entire palace fell silent.
Qin Yu prepared his carriage to go to the Empress's palace.
Meanwhile, Zhao Lan was not idle either in the Empress's palace.
She carefully folded the letter in her hand, sealed it, and immediately had someone call Ziyan over.
"Send this letter out of the palace secretly and give it to Liu Guocheng!"
Zhao Lan lowered her voice, her delicate brows furrowed, and spoke with an extremely solemn expression.
"yes."
Zi Yan immediately responded, then glanced at the three eagle feathers on the envelope and was immediately surprised.
The envelope was adorned with three eagle feathers, a code name for top-secret urgent messages within Longxi!
“Your Majesty…” Zi Yan hesitated, glancing at Zhao Lan with a slight frown, and said:
"This matter is of great importance. I suggest that Your Highness go out of the palace in person to speak with Lord Liu."
"If I can get out, then I will!"
Zhao Lan shook her head, then sighed and said:
“But if I leave, my sister will have to take my place. Yan’er is timid by nature, and I’m really worried that she will be bullied by that tyrant again.”
I still remember the last time we switched identities, when my sister came back she was covered in those indescribable red marks! Especially on those two white breasts in front of her, it was a truly shocking sight!
It's easy to imagine the torment my sister went through in those short five days!
She couldn't bear to push her younger sister into the fire any further.
Moreover, she heard that the tyrant had tormented Sima Jing all night, and even a promiscuous woman like Sima Jing was now covered in bruises and had lost her voice.
My sister is so frail, how could she possibly endure this?
Thinking of this, Zhao Lan sighed and urged, "Go quickly, don't waste any time."
Zi Yan understood Zhao Lan's predicament, so she could only nod and then leave the Empress's bedchamber.
Just then, Zi Yan stepped out and bumped into Qin Yu, who had just arrived.
"ah!"
Zi Yan cried out in surprise and immediately fell to the ground.
Qin Yu was startled and instinctively reached out to hug Zi Yan's slender and smooth waist, pulling her soft waist into his arms.
Zi Yan was startled, and when she saw that it was Qin Yu, her pretty face immediately turned bright red.
"This servant greets Your Majesty!" Zi Yan bowed her head and greeted the Emperor gently.
Qin Yu stared at her with a wicked grin, his eyes filled with lust. After taking a look at her alluring figure, he asked with a mischievous smile, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Zi Yan blushed and lowered her head, softly humming in agreement, then said, "It's a good thing the Emperor is here, otherwise I would have fallen to the ground, I was so scared."
Qin Yu chuckled upon hearing this, then said with a mischievous grin:
"Of course! Come here! Let me give you a thorough check-up and see if anything is broken."
As he spoke, Qin Yu's large hand began to reach into Zi Yan's skirt, shamelessly groping her.
"Ah! Your Majesty, no!"
Zi Yan gasped in surprise and tried to cross her arms, but she was too late.
Qin Yu's hot palm had already explored it.
Zi Yan's body stiffened instantly, her ears and neck turning bright red, looking incredibly beautiful!
Qin Yu rubbed it for a moment, then paused, looking at Zi Yan with a puzzled expression.
He discovered that Zi Yan's inside was as rough and hard as sandpaper.
What's going on?
Is the imperial court really that poor now?
Are the undergarments of the Empress's personal maids so rough and stiff?
That would surely damage that delicate, jade-like skin!
Besides, it really affects the feel of the game!
The thought of those two adorable white rabbits living in such rough confinement made Qin Yu's heart ache terribly.
"emperor……"
Zi Yan's face turned red and anxious. She wanted to push Qin Yu's hand away, but she didn't dare to use force.
"Hehe, so shy? I must see what kind of undergarments you are wearing, why are they so stiff."
Qin Yu smiled knowingly, reached inside, and pulled his hand out.
With a whoosh!
Qin Yu pulled the item out instantly!
However, this was not the intimate underwear one might imagine, but a secret letter!
Qin Yu was stunned for a second, then suddenly looked up at Zi Yan.
Zi Yan's body trembled instantly. She reached out to snatch the letter back, stammering as she explained:
"Your Majesty...this letter...is just an ordinary letter, nothing special."
"Oh? Do you really think I don't understand this code?" Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Zi Yan bit her lip and nodded vigorously, saying, "There's no secret code! Your Majesty, please give the letter to me."
But Qin Yu suddenly raised his hand, sneered, and then, right in front of her, opened the letter and began to read it.
Just then, Zhao Lan heard the commotion and rushed out to check. What she saw instantly changed her expression, and she froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.
She could only stand there, stunned and at a loss.
Qin Yu kept reading the contents of the letter!
He could see the contents of the box clearly.
It turned out that due to the disaster in the three southwestern continents, Zhao Hu's army was also experiencing a shortage of military rations.
Duo Shuang's army is approaching Youzhou, and Zhao Hu is suffering from a shortage of military supplies and dares not extend the supply line.
That's why he hesitated to send a large army to the front lines in Youzhou. Otherwise, taking advantage of the fierce battle between the Xiongnu and Sima Lie in Youzhou, the Zhao family would have been able to reap the benefits and severely damage Sima Lie's power.
Qin Yu squinted as he finished reading, his expression remaining largely unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.
This is a great opportunity!
Could he use this incident to stage a clever scheme of using one enemy to devour another?
Since that's the case, then I will help them solve the problem of military rations!
Feed the wolf from the Zhao family well, so that he can eat and drink his fill before going to Youzhou to fight that tiger, Sima Lie!
Thinking of this, Qin Yu's eyes darted around, and he immediately put on a disdainful look, tossing the letter back into Zi Yan's arms.
At this moment, seeing Zhao Lan standing at the door, Qin Yu said speechlessly, "I thought it was something important that you made such a big fuss, my dear consort. It turns out it's just the military rations for a mere 100,000 troops, and you're so anxious about it?"
Zhao Lan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Fortunately, the foolish emperor did not dwell on this matter.
However, upon hearing Qin Yu's sarcastic words, a cold expression immediately appeared on her pretty face.
How can the rations for an army of 100,000 be called a paltry sum?
This is clearly a matter of utmost importance that could cause even the commander-in-chief of the army to worry his hair out!
Zhao Lan took a deep breath and explained speechlessly, "Your Majesty, you may not understand this matter. It is not so easy to gather enough military rations for an army of 100,000."
Qin Yu glanced at Zhao Lan and scoffed, "I don't understand? To put it bluntly, the reason why it is difficult to collect and supply military rations is mainly because there are too many losses during transportation, and the rations rot before they even arrive. In addition, the people transporting the rations also need to eat and use them on the way, so we often need to prepare more than three times the amount of military rations to make use of them."
