September 26th, at the hour of Xu.
In the capital of Laifeng Kingdom, in the city, Situ Ye's villa, the front yard hall.
"Commander Qiao, the person has been found. Please convey my gratitude to General Feng. This is tea for everyone. Thank you for your hard work!"
Situ Ye bowed to Qiao Chu and stuffed a stack of silver notes worth one thousand taels into her hands.
"Mr. Situ, you are too polite. This is just my duty."
Qiao Chu bowed to Situ Ye in return and handed the banknote back to Situ Ye.
"Commander Qiao is honest and dedicated to his work, and he is benevolent and righteous. I admire him. I'm just inviting everyone to tea, and there's nothing else to it."
Situ Xuanye, who was born as the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, naturally understood the ways of the world. He quickly handed the banknote to Qiao Chu again.
"In that case, I would like to thank Master Situ on behalf of all the sisters."
Qiao Chu was also a shrewd person. Clear waters attract few fish. Even if she didn't want any herself, she had to reward her sisters who had toiled all day and all night.
After leaving Situ Ye's villa in the city, Qiao Chu quickly brought his men back to the General's Mansion in the east of the city to report to Feng Cailan.
The General's Mansion, the front hall,
"how?"
Feng Cailan, who was sitting at the top seat, asked with concern.
"Report to the general, the person has been found and is now in the villa of Master Situ in the city." Qiao Chu bowed to Feng Cailan and reported.
"Well, I'm glad that everyone is okay. You guys have worked hard." Feng Cailan waved at Qiao Chu, signaling him to leave.
"I'll take my leave!"
Qiao Chu was about to leave, as if she had thought of something, but she immediately stepped forward, took out a thousand taels of silver from her bosom and presented it to Feng Cailan.
"General Feng, this is a reward that Master Situ insisted on giving to all the sisters for tea. I dare not make the decision on my own, so please let General Feng know."
"In that case, just accept it. Prepare a good meal for everyone, and use the remaining money as a reward for your hard work next time." Feng Cailan waved her hand indifferently.
"I obey your command!"
After receiving the instructions, Qiao Chu accepted the banknotes with peace of mind and used them to reward his subordinates who had worked hard all day.
"General, what happened?"
Last night, the Prime Minister's eldest son suddenly came to the General's Mansion to find Feng Cailan, and mobilized a lot of people. Yu Jingyang felt that the matter was not simple. After being uneasy for the whole day, he finally found a chance to ask Feng Cailan.
"Qingcheng was abducted to the capital, but fortunately she is out of danger now and is resting in the villa of the Prime Minister's eldest son in the city. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would worry. You should also keep it secret from your mother and father for now, so as not to worry them."
"Jingyang knows his limits, so don't worry, General."
Yu Jingyang originally planned to go forward and massage Feng Cailan to relieve her fatigue, but Feng Cailan pulled his hand and took him out of the front hall and walked towards the backyard.
At the same time, at the gate of Mingzhu Palace in the Laifeng Kingdom’s royal palace, two guards were kneeling down to salute Ouyang Yuming and others.
"Greetings to the Imperial Lord, the Noble Lord Gu, the Lord Wang De, the Lord Xiao Shu, the Lord Qin Xian, the Lord An Rong, and all the concubines, young masters, beauties, beloveds, and servants!"
"Call Situ Mingting out, we want to see the emperor!"
Ouyang Yuming, dressed in a royal blue jade brocade court robe with auspicious cloud patterns and a blue and jadeite phoenix hairpin, glanced down at the two guards kneeling on the ground and gave a direct order. Behind him, a large group of imperial concubines followed.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor and Lord Situ have already gone to bed. In my humble opinion, you'd better go back first." The guard kneeling on the ground said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Asshole!"
"Who do you think you are?"
"How dare you block my way?"
"Situ Mingting is the enchanting villain. The Emperor hasn't attended court for two days, and the court is practically in chaos. I've brought all the servants here to 'clean up the emperor's side'!"
Ouyang Yuming kicked the guard who answered to the ground, stepped over her, walked into Mingzhu Palace, and went to Situ Mingting's bedroom.
"As expected of you, the Royal Lord brother, so domineering!" Gu Changqing, who was also a Royal Lord like Situ Mingting, flattered.
The Emperor had already spent two consecutive days and nights at the Pearl Palace. Aside from the Ouyang Emperor, no other master in the palace had been granted this honor, at least not yet. Faced with this sudden disruption to their equilibrium, the other masters, who had been similar in status, were becoming increasingly restless.
"Brother Situ Guijun has indeed gone too far this time. After all, the emperor is the ruler of a country. How can he only care about enjoying the pleasure of sex with her and let the emperor neglect state affairs?" Wang Dejun and Wang Ziyin also echoed.
"Wang Dejun's words make sense." Xiao Shujun and Xiao Qingchuan nodded in agreement.
"That's right. If the masters of all the palaces follow suit, wouldn't that put the emperor in an unjust position and make him bear the name of a tyrant?" Qin Xianjun Qin Niantang also said righteously.
"Lord Qin, be careful of your words. We are all the emperor's servants. It doesn't matter who serves the emperor." Lord An Rongjun An Zihao gently tugged at Qin Niantang's sleeve and shook his head at him disapprovingly.
"An Zihao, you have a kind heart, but I don't have such a good temper." Qin Niantang pulled out his sleeve and said disdainfully.
The chattering attendants followed the Royal Lord Ouyang Yuming and headed towards Situ Mingting's bedroom with murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, I know I shouldn't disturb your pleasure, but Your Majesty, you are not only our mistress, but also the ruler of the Laifeng Kingdom. You should prioritize national affairs. If you continue to indulge in the pleasures of sex, I'm afraid the censors' impeachment memorials will overwhelm your desk!"
At the door of Situ Mingting's bedroom, Ouyang Yuming led many servants to kneel down and shout out their advice.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider! Your Majesty, please prioritize state affairs! Your Majesty, please punish the seductive and evil Lord Situ!"
…
In Situ Mingting's bedroom.
"That damned vixen Ouyang! The Emperor has only been in my chambers for two days, and he's already labeled me a 'seductive troublemaker'! Back then, the Emperor actually stayed in his Qiongyu Palace for seven days and seven nights!"
"Your Majesty, I don't care. You have to make the decision for me!" Situ Mingting leaned his head on Xiaobai's chest, who looked like Nalan Yunzhi, and said coquettishly.
For two days and two nights, Xiaobai was locked on the bed by this man who looked very much like his second father, except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
The feeling of enduring pain, yet being fulfilled and damn comfortable, made Xiaobai's brain dizzy.
But, it's a male tiger! Woo woo woo...
