The First Tyrant of Daxia

"It's nothing serious, just letting you know."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "I have issued an order today to have the Fifth and Eighth Elders come to Qianfu Palace to see you tomorrow."

"By the way, I miss my two brothers too. Let's get together at Qianfu Palace tomorrow!"

Hearing this, a hint of uneasiness flashed across Concubine Dou's calm pupils.

She knew very well that there would not be such friendly and respectful brothers in the imperial family, and she was afraid that His Majesty had other intentions.

She had tears in her eyes and said emotionally, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I haven't seen them for a long time. I have mixed feelings and miss them very much."

Qin Yun watched her emotions revealed without any panic on her face, and wondered if he was overly suspicious.

He thought to himself, forget it, I'll test the fifth and eighth brothers tomorrow.

Dou Ji left.

Qin Yun met Guo Ziyun, who had just recovered from his injury, and Ming Wen.

Guo Ziyun is now the Minister of Revenue, replacing Wang Wei. Ming Wen and his subordinates had done meritorious service in protecting the emperor, so Qin Yun did not pursue the responsibility for the "Zhuma City Incident".

After Ming Wen reported on his work, he rushed to Zhuma City without stopping.

Guo Ziyun's injury had not fully healed, but he insisted on handling official business immediately and completing the details of the national treasury. Qin Yun had no choice but to agree.

Night falls.

A group of imperial guards cavalry entered the city quickly and went straight to the palace.

"Your Majesty, there is news!"

"There's news about Concubine Pei!"

Qin Yun put down the memorial in his hand and stared: "Where is the person?"

The imperial guard panted and said, "Your Majesty, Captain Fang found out that someone saw Concubine Pei and her family staying in a village near the camp. The imperial guards who went out to look for them are now searching with all their might."

Qin Yun was disappointed because he hadn't found it yet.

"Tell Captain Fang Cheng to search for me thoroughly. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find Concubine Pei!"

"Once you find them, escort them back to the imperial capital immediately!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The imperial guards bowed and retreated, then rode at full speed to the camp to convey the emperor's order.

Qin Yun was feeling a little annoyed. Pei Yao had been gone for ten days and there was still no news of her whereabouts. This was something he could not accept.

Not long ago, news came from the Imperial Guards that Pei Yao's mother seemed to have died of depression, and some of her family members also died in the exile a few years ago.

All in all, the situation is bad.

So Qin Yun felt a little indebted to her. Besides, he was her own woman, having slept in the same bed with her for so long, how could he just disappear from her life like that!

He came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, went in quietly, and saw Concubine Xiao Shufei looking at some pieces of rice paper on the table.

On it were all the heaven-defying poems that Qin Yun had written outside the palace.

The wine will be served, and the green jade table will be ready.

She learned that the man called the Immortal Poet by the people was actually her brother Yun, and she admired him extremely!

Qin Yun walked over, quietly dismissed the palace maids, then hugged her delicate body from behind. Her touch was soft and her fragrance was surging. She was truly a beauty on earth.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Xiao Shu was only slightly frightened, then she called gently with a smile on her face.

Qin Yun was surprised: "Xiang'er didn't even look at me, but you knew it was me?"

Concubine Xiao Shufei smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Your Majesty, who else in the world would be so frivolous except you?"

Qin Yun withdrew his hand, chuckled, and then smelled his fingers. They smelled very good.

"Ok?"

"Are you crying?" He suddenly frowned and noticed the tears in the corners of Concubine Xiao Shufei's eyes.

Concubine Xiao Shu was slightly flustered, but she managed a smile and said, "No, no, I was moved to tears when I read your Majesty's Water Melody just now."

"It's so well written, it tells the story of joys and sorrows."

Qin Yun grinned, put his arm around her waist, and said lovingly: "The moon waxes and wanes, but Xiang'er and I will be together forever. In this life, there is only death, not separation in life."

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao Shu's pretty face changed color and she quickly covered his mouth.

"Your Majesty, don't say that. It's unlucky!" She raised her eyebrows and said seriously.

Qin Yun hugged her around the waist and sat down.

Before she could speak, Concubine Xiao Shu looked at the sky, bit her lip and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, why don't you go to Concubine Zheng's place?"

Qin Yun looked strange: "Xiang'er, you are not right today."

"No, it's just Xiang'er..."

As she spoke, her voice began to sob, like a young wife who had been wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Qin Yun's expression suddenly changed: "What's wrong?"

"Woo!"

The more she cried, the more sad she became, her chest heaving, and then she hooked her hands around Qin Yun's neck and simply snuggled into his chest.

Soon, tears wet Qin Yun's chest.

Qin Yun felt distressed. Seeing her crying so sadly, he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he stroked her jade back gently to comfort her.

Just like that, a stick of incense passed.

Concubine Xiao Shu lay in his arms, not crying anymore. She looked so delicate and tender that it made people feel distressed. Qin Yun wanted to hold her in his mouth.

"Xiang'er, can you tell me what happened now? Who bullied you in the harem again?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Concubine Xiao Shu must have suffered a great injustice!

Concubine Xiao Shu evaded the question and said, "Your Majesty, no one is bullying me. It's just that I feel I am useless."

As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red.

Qin Yun frowned: "What's useless?"

Concubine Xiao Shufei sat up slightly in his arms, lowered her head, and fiddled with the hem of her palace dress with her slender fingers.

She said guiltily, "I am useless. I have been in the palace for many years but have not given birth to a prince. This has brought shame to His Majesty and caused many ministers to complain about me."

"I heard that His Majesty was a little unhappy with the Concubine Dowager because of me today."

"I feel very guilty..." When she said this, her nose felt sore again and she bit her red lips to stop herself from crying.

"Big brother is also worried about this matter. I really feel useless."

Qin Yun sighed. So that's what was happening.

He understood Xiao Shufei's confusion and self-blame. She must have endured a huge amount of rumors.

But objectively speaking, the first time I wanted her body was just over a month ago, how could it be that fast?

Qin Yun hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body, and said softly: "Xiang'er, don't feel guilty or blame yourself. This matter cannot be rushed."

"It will come slowly."

Concubine Xiao Shu's face turned red from crying, and she said worriedly, "But...but the ministers and the Concubine Dowager will have objections."

"I have heard a lot of rumors these days, saying that I am favored by His Majesty, but my pregnancy is still not moving..."

Qin Yun glared and said in a sonorous voice, "Who dares to object?"

"Who dares to spread rumors? I will chop him to pieces!"

"I said Xiang'er will be the queen, and that's as good as it gets! Since the Queen Mother thinks that only a prince can be the queen, then let's have one first."

"I will not make anyone else my queen except you."

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao Shu's eyes reddened and she was very moved.

What she feared most was that Qin Yun would have objections to this matter.

"Let's go! Go to bed!"

Qin Yun held her plump waist and went straight to the soft bed, very domineering.

Concubine Xiao Shu felt the strength of his arms and the stubble on his beard, and her body couldn't help but soften. She wanted to avoid suspicion and not take advantage of Qin Yun's favor every day, but she also wanted to give birth to a son for Qin Yun as soon as possible.

So I agreed reluctantly and did not object.

"Xiang'er, I will definitely make your wish come true!"

"If it doesn't work once, then try a thousand times!" Qin Yun consoled loudly.

Concubine Xiao Shufei was moved and felt guilty, and swore in her heart that she would fight for her honor and get pregnant as soon as possible.

Her upper body was lying in the quilt, her long hair like a waterfall. Her face was flushed at the moment. She bit her red lips and hummed softly, looking extremely shy.
