A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

The indenture was bought by Feng Yu!?

Yu Xiao heard this.

She had just come out of the bath, her cheeks flushed.

In an instant!

A deathly white expanse!

Her delicate body trembled violently, and Yu Xiao felt her legs go weak, unable to even stand up!

Fortunately, Man'er reacted quickly and caught her in time.

Yu Xiao's lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face.

"Mom, this...this can't be real, right? You're teasing your daughter, this can't be..."

As Yu Xiao spoke, her voice grew increasingly choked with emotion.

The madam felt a pang of sadness and turned her head away, unable to bear looking into Yu Xiao's eyes.

Man'er also shed tears.

He had just helped Yu Xiao sit down when he hurriedly turned to beg the madam.

"Mom, my sister just got out of prison and then this happened. If she really goes with that person, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Man'er dared not say any more.

It's easy to imagine what will happen to Yu Xiao once Feng Yu takes her away.

I'm afraid so.

Can't live, can't die!

"Mom, please save my sister!"

Man'er was still pleading for mercy.

But the madam was powerless to do anything about it.

Although she has some connections, how could she possibly stand up to Feng Yu?

Moreover.

Feng Yu's acquisition of the jade flute's indenture was entirely in accordance with the laws of the imperial court.

Unless the emperor himself gives the order, no one can stop Feng Yu from taking the jade flute away.

The madam sighed heavily and explained the reasoning clearly.

Yu Xiao sat there, utterly dejected.

Man'er was in complete confusion!

Sudden.

She came up with a solution.

He immediately rushed out the door!

Barefoot, I ran all the way along the bluestone road.

With tears in her eyes and filled with anxiety, she rushed into Qingluan's boudoir!

Qingluan was taking a bath when she was startled to see someone barge in.

"Sister Qingluan, please save Yuxiao!"

Seeing that the newcomer was Man'er, Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief, then scolded him.

"What are you doing? Close the door first!"

After Man'er closed the door, Qingluan slowly stood up from the water.

The whip marks on her body had not yet faded, and her once beautiful body now appeared somewhat grotesque.

"Wasn't Yu Xiao already released from prison? What's the point of saving him?"

Man'er wiped away her tears and, while crying, recounted the story of the indenture.

Qingluan listened in a daze, and hesitated for a moment.

Initially, when she heard the poem about the jade flute, she was somewhat jealous of the jade flute.

after all.

Which geisha wouldn't want to be gifted poems by talented men and beautiful women, thus becoming famous throughout the world and leaving her mark on history?

But now, Yu Xiao has just escaped the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's mouth.

Qingluan still felt a little sorry for her.

They're sisters who grew up together.

At this time.

Man'er almost pleaded.

"Sister Qingluan, Mother said that unless the Emperor issues an edict, no one can stop Feng Yu."

"Don't you often go to the palace to serve His Majesty? If you plead for Yuxiao, perhaps..."

Who would have thought?

Man'er hadn't finished speaking.

Qingluan's expression changed drastically, and she loudly rebuked him.

"Nonsense! His Majesty is the supreme ruler, how could he possibly listen to me?"

Man'er was stunned by the shouting and stared blankly at her older sister in front of her.

Qingluan's expression changed repeatedly, and she dared not meet Man'er's gaze.

He quickly said, his gaze darting away.

"There's nothing I can do about this. You may leave."

Man'er panicked and immediately knelt on the ground!

"Sister, please plead with the Emperor! He dotes on you so much, he'll surely listen to you!"

After saying this, Man'er kowtowed heavily on the ground.

A red swelling suddenly appeared on her smooth forehead, followed by bleeding.

Qingluan was extremely unwilling!

After all, she knew very well that Shi Zhonggui disliked Li Rui.

Shi Chonggui will only dislike Yu Xiao and Li Rui even more if they get involved together.

If she pleads for mercy, Shi Zhonggui might dislike her too!

If the emperor dislikes her, how can she possibly obtain the position of Imperial Concubine?

Should we let go of this opportunity to rise to the top in one step, all for the sake of the jade flute?

Qingluan struggled internally, but she couldn't bear to see Man'er pleading like this.

He could only manage a weak reply.

"Alright, alright, His Majesty summoned me to the palace today, I'll put in a good word for him."

Man'er was overjoyed and extremely grateful.

Qingluan forced a smile, urged Man'er to leave, and said she needed to put on makeup and change clothes.

soon.

A eunuch arrived at the palace and brought the heavily made-up Qingluan into the palace.

Shi Chonggui was very happy.

Because Li Rui was expelled from Bianliang and ordered to return to Dingzhou immediately!

The surroundings are now quiet, and the view is clean too.

Shi Chonggui immediately summoned Qingluan, intending to enjoy himself.

Qingluan took off her shoes and socks outside the garden with its artificial hills and flowing water.

Barefoot, I stepped onto the jade platform.

Just as she was about to kneel down and pay her respects to Shi Chonggui, her pretty face turned deathly pale in the next second!

Because on the table in front of Shi Chonggui was a rectangular wooden box.

The box contained cool spring water, and five willow twigs of the same length were soaking in the water.

When Qingluan saw the willow branches, she immediately understood what she was about to encounter.

Those whip marks on her body that haven't faded yet, aren't they from this?

at this time.

Shi Chonggui picked up a bowl of deer blood, pinched his nose, and drank it.

Deer blood, an aphrodisiac, was an essential item for him.

Before the deer blood could take effect, Shi Chonggui licked the blood from his lips, stared at Qingluan's beautiful face, and smiled.

"Take it off."

Qingluan bit her lip and obediently did as she was told.

The whip marks gradually became visible, completely ruining the beauty of the body.

But Shi Zhonggui's eyes were full of excitement, as if he were admiring his own masterpiece.

"You don't resent me for treating you this way?"

Qingluan quickly prostrated herself at Shi Chonggui's feet and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty's love is too much for me to bear. I am truly grateful."

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhonggui was very satisfied!

In this harem, there is an empress who is stunningly beautiful.

But there was no one who could play this unique game with him.

Lately, the Empress has even stopped letting him touch her.

Shi Zhonggui didn't want to lose face in front of Feng Yao either!

after all.

Feng Yao is so beautiful.

Facing such a perfect woman, he felt powerless and deeply frustrated!

Even drinking deer blood was of no use.

Fortunately, there was the Azure Phoenix.

Geishas are lowly and can do whatever they want!

Shi Chonggui grew increasingly fond of Qingluan and couldn't help but laugh.

"Tell me what you want, and I will grant it to you."

Qingluan trembled, and two options popped into her mind.

First, preserve the jade flute.

Second, the position of Imperial Concubine.

There was almost no hesitation.

"It's a blue phoenix," said the phoenix, trembling slightly.

"I love Your Majesty deeply and always want to serve you, but I can only stay in Yichun Courtyard and wait for Your Majesty to summon me."

"I wish to spend more time with Your Majesty, therefore, I humbly request that Your Majesty allow me to enter the inner palace so that I may serve you day and night!"

Shi Zhonggui paused for a moment.

The reason he liked Qingluan was because courtesans were considered lowly and could be manipulated at will.

If Qingluan is given a title.

Then he won't be able to play his favorite willow twig trick anymore.

Shi Chonggui smiled and said calmly.

"We'll talk about this later."

Qingluan gritted her teeth, still wanting to plead.

Shi Chonggui picked up a willow twig that was wet with water, and a morbid desire appeared in his eyes.

"Stand up, and shout louder later."

The blue phoenix trembled violently.

Yet they obediently did as instructed.

……

late at night.

Qingluan was carried back to Yichun Courtyard.

Man'er wiped away her wounds while shedding tears.

The two older sisters, one is on the verge of death, and the other is humiliated by the emperor every day.

How could she not be heartbroken?

But what saddened her even more was...

The Azure Phoenix has changed.

"Get out! Get out! I'm about to become an imperial concubine, you're not worthy to touch me!"

Qingluan was beaten badly by Shi Chonggui.

She naturally dared not vent her anger on the emperor.

Back at Yichun Courtyard, he vented his anger on Man'er and Yuxiao.

Man'er was kicked out and cried very sadly.

Yu Xiao, however, saw things more clearly.

Gazing at the deep moonlight, she knew.

Tomorrow during the day, Feng Yu will send someone to take her away.

Yu Xiao smiled sadly and silently gripped the small knife hidden in his sleeve.

tonight.

Have a good talk with Man'er and say goodbye.

Wait for tomorrow.

She would rather die than suffer humiliation!

The madam stood outside the corridor, silently watching her three daughters.

After wiping away her bitter tears, the madam summoned a servant.

He sighed.

"Go outside the city to Guangji Temple. If Li Rui hasn't left yet, tell him."

"Stay one more day, take Yu Xiao's body to Dingzhou, and bury him on his land."
