The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Now, Yunxiu is Baiyi's fiancée, and the marriage was arranged by the Emperor himself. If the Emperor were sober, he would definitely not want Yunxiu.

Empress Feng was focused on not letting Yunxiu, this pawn, go to waste by marrying the Prince of Bohai. However, she didn't think too much about it. Once the deed was done, she could easily fabricate a reason to cancel Yunxiu's engagement with Baiyi.

While Empress Feng was pondering, the two had already drunk several cups of wine. Empress Feng was unusually enthusiastic, and Emperor Mingde did not refuse her toasts.

"Empress, let's stop drinking here for tonight." Emperor Mingde stopped Empress Feng from pouring more wine and stood up as well.

Empress Feng was slightly taken aback. She met Emperor Mingde's gaze, smiled, and put down the wine bottle. "Alright, Your Majesty, please go into the room first. I would like to change my clothes."

Emperor Mingde frowned. Why change clothes at a time like this? However, he didn't pay much attention to it. He was really tired today, so he waved his hand and turned away with some displeasure.

Empress Feng knew perfectly well that Emperor Mingde was angry, but she had no choice but to do so. Keeping him drunk was not a solution, but she had other options as well. Thinking of her plan, Empress Feng gritted her teeth and watched Emperor Mingde enter the room. Knowing Emperor Mingde's habits, she knew what to do.

When a woman entered the bedroom, Emperor Mingde was already lying on his side on the bed with his back to her, clearly unwilling to pay attention to Empress Feng. However, the woman frowned, turned off the light, got into bed, and lay obediently beside Emperor Mingde.

In the darkness, the sound of their breathing gradually changed from slow to rapid. Emperor Mingde felt a little hot, but he attributed it all to the aftereffects of the wine he had just drunk. The fragrance of the woman beside him made him restless.

Emperor Mingde was not a celibate man. Even though he was somewhat displeased with Empress Feng's troubles just now, he followed his own desires and turned over to firmly imprison "Empress Feng" under his body.

In the room, the atmosphere was ambiguous. In the darkness, Emperor Mingde could not see the woman's face at all. No matter how shrewd he was, his confidence made him completely unguarded in the Empress's palace, and he would never have thought that the "Empress Feng" under his body was someone else!

In another room, Empress Feng had not slept all night. Han Yu served her at her side. Seeing Empress Feng's tightly furrowed brows, she finally spoke, "Your Majesty, is this alright? If the Emperor becomes angry, then..."

Empress Feng narrowed her eyes. Angry? She had considered it, and she had already thought of what to say to the Emperor. Tomorrow, she would not only prevent the Emperor from taking his anger out on her because of this matter, but she would also make the Emperor think she was even more virtuous.

As for Yunxiu… Empress Feng smiled. She was her pawn, so she had to follow her arrangements. Yunxiu had received the favor she deserved tonight, so she would have to pay a higher price tomorrow.

"Hanyu, tomorrow I will order you to hit someone. Don't hesitate, hit me hard." Empress Feng spoke calmly, her eyes filled with unspeakable ruthlessness.

Han Yu didn't understand Empress Feng's meaning, but from Empress Feng's expression, she knew that someone would suffer tomorrow. The beautiful face of Yun Xiu appeared in her mind, and Han Yu frowned. Could it be Yun Xiu?

She quickly confirmed her guess; it seemed that the poison she had just used had not yet appeased the Empress!

Yes, right now Yunxiu and the Emperor are making love in Empress Feng's bed, so Empress Feng is naturally quite angry!

A subtle, cold smile curled at the corner of her lips as Han Yu acknowledged the order, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."

That night, the ambiguous pleasure in Empress Feng's palace lasted for a long time before it subsided. Empress Feng did not sleep all night. As soon as dawn broke, Anmi in Yanfu Palace also woke up early. She vaguely knew that there would be a good show to watch early in the morning, and she naturally could not miss this show orchestrated by Bai Yi.

At the Bohai Prince's residence, Uncle Ji stood behind Bai Yi. The Bohai Prince usually got up early, but he would practice his sword after getting up. However, this morning, the prince was already dressed in his palace clothes. Uncle Ji frowned and said, "Your Highness, at this time, the palace gates are probably not open yet."

Bai Yi's bright eyes showed a hint of a smile. "By the time I arrive at the palace gate, it will be almost time for the gate to open. Today's show will be my turn to make an appearance."

Bai Yi was extremely excited at the thought of the many things he could gain today.

A marriage decree? He'll make his father regret this marriage decree!

Bai Yi's eyes narrowed, and he strode out of the room, riding his horse towards the palace...

Meanwhile, everything in the palace was still quiet, but within this tranquility, a faint eeriness was creeping in. As dawn broke, in the Empress's palace, Eunuch Qin waited outside the main hall, waiting for the appointed time to wake the Emperor for the morning court. Just as it was about to be time to wake the Emperor, a sharp, angry shout suddenly came from inside the room...

"You bitch! How dare you!"

As Empress Feng roared, a loud slap was heard, as if someone had been slapped hard across the face, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

The eunuch Qin immediately rushed in. At this moment, the bedroom door was wide open. The first thing the eunuch Qin saw was a naked woman lying on the ground, covering her face with her hands, looking up at Empress Feng with a very complicated look in her eyes.

Empress Feng, dressed appropriately, looked no different from her usual dignified and majestic self if it weren't for the frightening sharpness on her face. The other person in the room sat on the bed, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes seemingly filled with shock.

What's going on? Eunuch Qin frowned. The scene was enough to make people's imaginations run wild. After realizing what was going on, he immediately closed the door. The Emperor's attitude was unclear, and this matter could not be allowed to get out.

"Your Majesty..." Even Yunxiu hadn't expected this slap, but at this moment, in front of Emperor Mingde, she couldn't question Empress Feng about why she did it, and could only look at Empress Feng with grievance.

When Eunuch Qin heard the voice, he was stunned, as if struck by lightning. He was completely dumbfounded. That voice... it was Miss Yunxiu!

In the past, even if the emperor accidentally slept with a palace maid, the matter would be easy to handle, depending on the emperor's attitude. If the emperor liked her, he could simply grant her a title. But this person is actually Miss Yunxiu?!

You know, just yesterday the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon Miss Yunxiu and the Prince of Bohai in front of so many people. Now, the Emperor has actually taken his own son's fiancée. If this gets out, what will become of us?

At this moment, Eunuch Qin was glad that he had been quick-witted enough to close the door earlier.
