The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 23: Prison Loyalty

Late at night, the palace was guarded tightly.

Qin Yun changed into an ordinary black brocade robe, like a handsome young man, and went to the Imperial Capital Sky Prison under the heavy protection of the imperial guards.

In the darkness, in the innermost room, Chang Hong, wearing prisoner uniform, was lying on a wooden couch.

He was beaten with a hundred military sticks not long ago, and his buttocks were covered with blood. Now he had trouble even sitting, but his clothes were neat and tidy, and he did not look embarrassed.

"His Majesty!"

When Chang Hong saw Qin Yun, he was immediately excited. He climbed off the bed regardless of the pain and knelt down in front of Qin Yun.

He burst into tears and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"

Tao Yang brought a pear blossom chair to Qin Yun.

He sat down, staring at the pale Chang Hong, and said calmly: "Thank you for not killing me? Are you so sure that it was me who didn't kill you, and not Wang Wei who saved you?"

Chang Hong was stunned for a moment, and said with a terrified look: "Your Majesty, this is the Heavenly Prison. You are the only one who can send an imperial doctor to treat the wounds of this criminal."

He smiled bitterly again and said, "I have committed such a great crime, I am afraid no one will be willing to help me beg for mercy."

Qin Yun glanced at him and said, "You still have some brains!"

"I beat you with a hundred sticks. Although people turned a blind eye, I heard that your skin was torn and your flesh was exposed. Chang Hong, do you hate me?"

Chang Hong trembled all over, his forehead pressed to the ground, and he was extremely terrified: "Your Majesty, I dare not!"

"Your Majesty has shown mercy, otherwise I would have been a cold corpse long ago. I am so grateful to you!"

Qin Yun was very satisfied with his attitude and waved his hand: "Captain Tao, get a chair for Lord Chang."

"Yes!"

Tao Yang quickly brought a wooden stool and helped Chang Hong sit on it.

Chang Hong's buttocks were beaten to pieces. He sat down with the pain twitching at the corners of his mouth and cold sweat dripping down his face.

Qin Yun got straight to the point and said, "Do you know how many people in the court want me to kill you?"

Chang Hong's face turned pale and he lowered his head without saying a word.

"You are a doctor, but you have such a bad relationship with others. No one speaks up for you."

"You've been walking on thin ice. You've been getting along with everyone for so many years, but in the end, you can't guarantee your safety." Qin Yun said meaningfully.

Chang Hong was silent and glanced at Qin Yun secretly, not understanding why His Majesty said this to him.

"Do you know whose favor you owe to me so that I can survive this time?" Qin Yun asked calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chang Hong said.

Qin Yun asked again: "Who do you think owns this world?"

Hearing this, Chang Hong shuddered all over! He glanced at Qin Yun's meaningful expression and blurted out: "This world, of course, belongs to your Majesty!"

"Then let me ask you again, do you understand the principle of the unification of the world?" Qin Yun glanced at him, seemingly unintentional, but with deep meaning.

Chang Hong's pupils widened. The world is united? Is His Majesty finally dissatisfied with those people in the court?

"I'm asking you a question!" Qin Yun snorted.

Chang Hong reacted, fell to his knees with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, I understand this principle!"

"After this catastrophe, I have come to my senses. From now on, I will swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death, and help Your Majesty eliminate those with ill intentions and realize the unification of the world!"

As soon as these two sentences came out, the entire prison fell silent.

Chang Hong couldn't help but sneak a peek at Qin Yun's expression.

As an old fox who has been in the court for decades, he still has the ability to read people's expressions.

The emperor is different now. In the future, there will definitely be conflicts between the imperial power and Wang Wei’s group.

Although the position of Langzhongling was not high-ranking, it was quite important. He was in charge of a series of aspects including the palace guards, daily life safety, and the imperial guards.

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and stared at Chang Hong for a long time.

Then he slowly said, "I don't like people who are double-minded or not loyal enough. Chang Hong, if I can not kill you, I can kill you at any time."

"Do you understand?"

Feeling the oppressive scrutiny, Chang Hong got goosebumps.

"Your Majesty, I understand! I will serve you with all my heart and soul until my death, and I will never have any second thoughts!" He kowtowed to show his loyalty, and the kowtows made a banging sound. After all, he was spared from death by Qin Yun, so one can imagine how he felt.

Qin Yun nodded in satisfaction, thinking it was worth his trip in the middle of the night, using both kindness and force to save his life.

Today, Qin Yun is going to take a gamble on Chang Hong! After a while, there will be more important things for Chang Hong to do.

Seeing Qin Yun turning around to leave, Chang Hong immediately raised his head and shouted worriedly, "Your Majesty, my humble servant's family?"

"Don't worry, I didn't confiscate your house." Qin Yun said calmly, "After a while, I will find a chance to pardon you. Then you can go home and enjoy your beautiful wife."

Chang Hong was almost crying. He was not very afraid of death, but he was afraid of implicating his family. His beautiful concubine had just given birth to a son, and he only had this son.

He kowtowed with great gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I will always remember your kindness and will repay you with my life in the future!"

Qin Yun raised the corners of his mouth, looking very satisfied, then waved his hand and left.

Chang Hong originally wanted to write a letter home to reassure his family, but when he thought about Qin Yun's coldness and murderous intent in recent days, he shrank his head and gave up.

Leave the prison.

Qin Yun went straight back to the Yangxin Palace.

The main hall was left open by Concubine Xiao Shufei, who insisted on moving to a side hall to make room for Qin Yun, saying that it was unlucky for her to be injured.

Qin Yun had no choice but to agree.

He went to see Concubine Xiao Shufei, who was sleeping peacefully, and then returned to the main hall to rest with peace of mind.

Qin Yun had just entered the main hall.

"Your Majesty." A soft voice trembled slightly.

Qin Yun turned around and saw Concubine Xiao Shufei's maid Yan'er appear in front of him.

Yan'er was wearing a green palace dress and bowed thousands of times.

She looked a little different tonight. With rouge on, her oval face looked like the pink and white peach blossoms in March. She looked like the little girl next door, gentle and graceful like jade.

"What's the matter that brings you to see me so late?" Qin Yun said.

"The young lady asked Yan'er to help His Majesty go to bed." After Yan'er finished speaking, her face flushed and she looked charming and beautiful.

Qin Yun frowned. Xiang'er was such a virtuous girl. She always considered everything for him without any complaints.

He waved his hand: "I don't need to sleep with you today, you can leave."

Yan'er's beautiful eyes widened, her delicate body trembled, and she knelt heavily on the ground with a thud!

"Please, Your Majesty, don't chase Yan'er away." Yan'er knocked her fair head heavily on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "My young lady has ordered that if Your Majesty is dissatisfied with anything today, Yan'er will never see my young lady again."

Qin Yun heaved a long sigh when he heard this.

"Everyone, please leave." Qin Yun looked at the other palace maids and eunuchs on duty and said.

Everyone left one after another, and those pretty palace maids looked at Yan'er with envy and jealousy.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Yan'er was lucky and was going to be favored by His Majesty and become a phoenix on the royal tree.

The door is closed.

Qin Yun picked up Yan'er by the waist and walked towards the dragon bed with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

Yan'er was extremely shy, her face was flushed, she looked very beautiful, and her slender legs were shaking with nervousness.

Soon, she was put on the bed.

Her figure is much more than it seems. Although she is less than 20 years old, she has developed a huge body.

Qin Yun's eyes were moved, and he slowly took off Yan'er's palace robe.

The beautiful scenery appears in an instant.
