There was singing and dancing, and the beautiful woman lay in the man's arms, enjoying his feeding.
Most of the tribute fruits were from the south, but at that time the south was still a barbarian land, so these fruits looked relatively rare here.
Yan Fu noticed the dazed look in the eyes of the person in his arms, and obviously knew that the singing and dancing in the audience did not arouse Jiaojiao's interest. He waved his hand and replaced the performance with a troupe sent in from the capital.
This opera troupe is very famous in the capital, but they were still very frightened when they heard that it was the emperor who summoned them. Now it seems that the emperor summoned them only to please the imperial concubine.
As expected, Qiao Yu's eyes lit up instantly and she became interested. While watching the show, she even opened her mouth to eat the orange that Yan Fu handed her. But the man suddenly stopped.
?
The girl gave him a questioning look mixed with a bit of dissatisfaction. She really wasn't afraid of being accused of being spoiled.
However, Yan Fu's gaze stayed on the girl's tender and juicy red lips. Because they were stained with fruit juice, the red lips looked even more moist and attractive, tempting the other party to kiss them.
Faced with the temptation, Yan Fu did not refuse. Her lips were unusually smooth and sweet. He felt it when he kissed her last time.
He kissed her lightly, gently on her lips.
Just when Qiao Yu thought that the other party was going to explore more deeply, the hand that was stroking the back of her head loosened her again and held her better in his arms.
He remembered that Qiao Yu didn't like kissing in front of outsiders, so he stopped not wanting to annoy her.
"Oranges are hot in nature, so eating too many is not good. The imperial physician told me to pay close attention to your daily diet."
"The imperial physician is exaggerating. Huaiwu, don't listen to Imperial Physician Jiang's nonsense. I'm just... I'm just taking a little bit."
The sweet and sour taste of this orange may not be considered a delicacy, but it is indeed something you can’t stop eating once you start.
Qiao Yu stretched out her tentative little hand, and just as she was about to get the food, Yan Fu picked up the whole plate and handed it to Yu Yuanting, who took it away. She could only watch helplessly as the duck in her mouth flew away.
"snort."
Yan Fu loves the girl in front of him terribly, and thinks she is cute even when she is being a little naughty.
Yan Fu kissed the back of the other person's hand tenderly, lowered his posture and coaxed:
"When you feel better, and the weather gets hotter, I'll take you to the Summer Palace to escape the heat, okay?"
Hearing that they could leave the Forbidden City, Qiao Yu finally gave in and continued to lean on the man's shoulder, seemingly mentioning the assassin casually:
"Hmm..How will the Emperor deal with that assassin?"
Xu Miao had been ordered to be executed by slow slicing. There were three levels of slow slicing. The first level required 3,357 cuts.
The second grade requires 2,896 cuts.
The third grade requires 1,585 cuts.
And the last blow must be the fatal blow. If the executioner uses one more or one less blow, he will be executed.
How could Yan Fu easily let go of the ant who dared to touch his most precious treasure? Naturally, he would torture her to death by the first-class slow slicing.
However, Yan Fu would not tell Qiao Yu about this. If he scared her, he would feel very distressed. Yan Fu sucked the girl's hair lovingly:
"The assassin has been handed over to Yu Yuanting. As for the mastermind... I promised Lan'er to spare her life."
Obviously, Yan Fu didn't believe that Xu Miao was not instructed by someone, and even if he wasn't, the emperor said it was true.
For someone like Qiu Ziheng who has been rotten by the stench, letting her die is the greatest reward. He wants the power that Qiu Ziheng loves most in her life, but in the end he can only dream of it.
What Yan Fu didn’t know was that the visible decay was not scary; the invisible decay was the real abyss.
Qiao Yu supported herself with her hands and sat up from Yan Fu's arms, looking at the man in front of her with distressed eyes:
"Lan'er wasn't hurt after all. After all, Concubine Qiu accompanied Huai Wu through those difficult days. Although everything she did now was wrong, she was obsessed with her love for Huai Wu..."
Yan Fu told her everything about him and Qiu Ziheng in order to make her feel at ease and not suspicious, but he never thought that she would think about Qiu Ziheng all the time.
The man frowned, the air around him suddenly cooled, and he said solemnly:
"Lan'er, do you think I spared Concubine Qiu's life because I still have feelings for her?"
Facing the man's fiery gaze, Qiao Yu turned her head away. She felt guilty. As a concubine, how could she expect the emperor's love to be real?
"No...Lan'er thought that even if Huaiwu still had feelings for Concubine Qiu, it was...it was human nature."
Yan Fu saw that she had regained her previous dignified and virtuous appearance. Everyone would praise such a wife, but what Yan Fu wanted was not a virtuous wife, but a woman who loved him.
At first, Yan Fu was very angry. His hand holding the corner of the table was shaking slightly, which showed how angry he was at the moment.
But when he saw the girl's shoulders trembling with fear, Yan Fu could only sigh helplessly. If the love he gave her was not enough, how could Qiao Yu feel insecure?
"You're really good at turning the tables. It was Lan'er who asked me to keep that woman alive, and it was Lan'er who doubted me. If that's the case, I'll kill her. Will Lan'er trust me wholeheartedly?"
"Your Majesty, I don't doubt you. That's not what I meant..."
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Why did I bring up that person for no reason? In my heart, she is at most a favor to me. Lan'er, please stop doubting me and trust me, okay?"
What's more, in Yan Fu's heart, the little kindness Qiu Ziqiang had shown him had been completely worn out by her. He said he still had some kindness, but it was just because he didn't want to ruin his image in Qiao Yu's heart.
The man looked at Qiao Yu with hope in his eyes, and a bit of pity, as if Qiao Yu had done something terrible wrong and misunderstood him.
