The Prodigal Son

After being brutally violated by Zhao Luan, Qin Yu temporarily calmed down.

For the next few days, Qin Yu acted like a completely obedient child.

Every day, besides practicing martial arts, he would hide in his room tinkering with his handgun.

Seeing Qin Yu's hard work, Qin Fumeng was also pleased and didn't press him further about offending Zhao Luan.

The old man seemed to have been rejuvenated, his enthusiasm for work was high, and he left early and returned late every day, making Qin Yu suspect that the old man had found a mistress outside.

Qin Yu also planned to make one more, to give Luo Qingyi one as well.

He's a complete novice, and Luo Qingyi is even worse; she doesn't know any martial arts at all.

She needs to have something to protect herself.

After Qin Yu's meticulous refinement, the second pistol was even more exquisite than the first.

Just as Qin Yu was admiring his masterpiece with satisfaction, another pain shot through his lower abdomen.

However, Qin Yu no longer takes this pain seriously.

These past few days, this pain has become the norm; he has become completely numb to it.

Aside from occasional pain, it doesn't have any other effects.

Just think of it as my uncle coming to visit!

Who knows, pain might actually be healthier?

I absolutely have to find a chance to break my vow of celibacy!

Since it's going to hurt anyway, why should we mistreat our brothers?

Damn it, the ball's pointing skyward!

"Thirteenth Young Master! Thirteenth Young Master..."

Just then, Qi Dachui's shout came from outside.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Yu inquired through the door.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Qi Dachui answered hastily.

Holy crap?

Qin Yu's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Is that she-devil still angry?

Why did they even chase me home to discipline me?

Qin Yu, feeling both guilty and speechless, immediately shouted at Qi Dachui, "Just tell His Majesty that I caught a cold after being hung upside down all night a few days ago, and I'm afraid of infecting His Majesty, so I can't see him..."

"Get out here! Don't make me beat you up!"

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Zhao Luan's ferocious dragon roar came from outside.

I……

Nima!

They just stormed in, huh?

Judging from her tone, you can tell she's still angry.

Oh shit!

He was supposed to be an emperor, yet he had absolutely no sense of magnanimity!

Qin Yu mentally ranted, then quickly hid the pistol.

Yes, we absolutely cannot let the she-devil see this!

Otherwise, given that she-devil's nature, she would definitely rob her outright!

Qin Yu hurled a few wild accusations before opening the door and stepping out, shouting, "Your Majesty's arrival is an honor! I, Qin Yu, have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

"I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense!"

Dressed in casual clothes, Zhao Luan interrupted Qin Yu impatiently, "Come with me, I have something to ask you!"

After saying that, Zhao Luan walked into the courtyard.

Got it!

You're still angry.

Qin Yu felt that this female demon was now a powder keg.

It'll explode at the slightest touch!

"oh."

Qin Yu responded, then lowered his voice and asked Qi Dachui, "His Majesty is here, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Qi Dachui scratched his head, "Her Majesty came in by herself, and as soon as she came in, she asked me to bring her to you, so I brought Her Majesty here..."

"..."

Qin Yu remained silent.

Can't you lie a little?

Ugh!

never mind!

Who can blame him for being such an honest person?

After sitting down in the Qin family courtyard, Zhao Luan dismissed the people around him and asked with an unfriendly expression, "I heard you've been practicing martial arts diligently these past few days. What, are you planning to improve your skills so you can take revenge on me?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Luan felt angry.

Qin Yu practices martial arts, and she suffers along with him!

Her limbs are still sore!

But Qin Yu's congenital meridians have been cured, so she can't stop him from practicing martial arts!

Now, she only hopes that Qin Yu can get used to martial arts training as soon as possible, so that she won't have to suffer from the pain as well.

"How could I dare! I was just practicing casually."

Qin Yuqian chuckled, then quickly changed the subject, "What urgent matter does Your Majesty wish to discuss with me? If Your Majesty has business to attend to, you could simply send someone to summon me to the palace. How could I dare trouble Your Majesty to make the trip in person?"

"I didn't have the time to come all this way just to see you!" Zhao Luan scoffed. "I went out for a stroll today, and when I got to this area, I suddenly remembered the trade with the Yan Kingdom, so I thought I'd drop by and ask you about it!"

"oh oh."

Qin Yu gave a perfunctory response, but he didn't believe Zhao Luan's nonsense at all.

He preferred to believe that Zhao Luan, when she got to this area, suddenly remembered what happened a few nights ago, and in a fit of anger, wanted to punish him and vent her frustration.

Zhao Luan glanced at him and continued, "I believe that simply using trade to weaken Yan is both slow and uncertain! I would like to ask you if there is a two-pronged approach to strike Yan more decisively!"

Let's strike the Yan Kingdom hard first!

In this way, even if both the Prince of Chengyang and the Northern Qi are in trouble at the same time, at least the Yan Kingdom will not be able to cause trouble for Da Ning!

If necessary, the strategy of weakening the Yan state can also be used against the Chu state!

Ok?

Qin Yu was slightly surprised.

Is this female demon really here to talk about serious business?

However, with so many ministers in the court who could discuss this important matter with her, why did she single out herself?

Zhao Luan remained silent, simply watching Qin Yu quietly.

She definitely didn't come here on a whim.

She wanted to launch a surprise attack, firstly to see what this bastard Qin Yu was up to, and secondly to find out if Qin Yu had a powerful backer!

She's thought about it carefully these past few days.

If Qin Yu is truly a talented individual, he should be beaten when necessary, but also utilized when appropriate!

Meeting Zhao Luan's gaze, Qin Yu couldn't help but ponder to himself.

He does have a solution!

However, he no longer trusts this treacherous woman who betrays him after using him!

I came up with the idea myself!

Even when they were being beaten, they didn't miss out on it!

Thinking this, Qin Yu quickly said, "Your humble servant is of limited talent and knowledge, and I really can't think of any other way."

"Is it that you can't think of a solution, or do you have a solution but don't want to say it?"

Zhao Luan stared intently at Qin Yu, as if trying to see through him.

She felt that Qin Yu had a solution!

If Qin Yu had no other choice, he wouldn't hesitate!

Qin Yu is currently weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Qin Yu felt a chill run down his spine under Zhao Luan's gaze, and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, I am just an ignorant and incompetent playboy. How could I possibly know so much!"

"A spoiled brat?"

Zhao Luan narrowed her eyes slightly. "What spoiled brat would go to such lengths, risking the wrath of Bei Qi, to force their people to cure his congenital meridian deficiency, and then spend all his time hiding at home practicing martial arts?"

No, no.

Qin Yu shook his head repeatedly, "Your Majesty is aware of my physical condition. The reason I want to cure my congenital meridian deficiency is so that I can recover as soon as possible and have descendants for the Qin family. Practicing martial arts is also for the purpose of strengthening my body..."

"Stop pretending! I can see through you; you definitely have a way!"

Zhao Luan stared at Qin Yu: "If you tell me, we'll be even! But if you have a plan and don't offer it, I'll have to settle accounts with you properly!"

Ah!

This female demon is truly incorrigible!

After going around in circles, I still need to find an excuse to get myself sorted out!

How can a person hold such a grudge?

I was almost beaten to the point of vomiting blood by you and I didn't say a word, but if I touch you, you act like you're going to die!

He knew that even if he told her, Zhao Luan wouldn't let him off the hook.

She is the emperor!

You can easily find any excuse to fix yourself.

If she deliberately bumps into me while walking, I'll be punished for offending her.

Qin Yu was extremely indignant and really wanted to strip naked and lie on the ground!

Touch me, touch me all you want!

Keep touching her until she feels she's gotten her money's worth!

If I resist even slightly, I'll write my name backwards!
