Chapter 2, in progress
Such beauty, such splendor, is akin to the moment on the wedding night when he lifts her veil
As a jet of blood spurted out, Zhang Qi swiftly turned her right hand and decisively drove the bloody sword tip into her own chest. In the moment she fell to the ground, she still wore a smile as vibrant as spring flowers, radiant and beautiful
As expected, everyone in the hall burst into laughter simultaneously
That person, standing alone in the hall, is none other than Zhang Qi's former husband
Zhang Qi's smile at the corners of her lips became even more enchanting: ultimately unable to restrain herself, she began to indulge in flirtation in front of everyone
At that moment, he strode over. Amidst the man's continuous pleas for mercy, with a whoosh, he drew his long sword, its cold gleam resembling snow, and with a sudden drop of the sword tip, he delivered a heavy downward slash
She called out sweetly
The sharp sound of the blade piercing flesh echoed, and the man's pleas for mercy abruptly ceased as a long sword pierced through him from his back to his chest
Unexpectedly promoted three ranks at once! From a sixth-rank Sima to a third-rank high official, becoming an important minister of the state
The new emperor emphasized the words "offering a wife"
Upon witnessing this scene, the new emperor furrowed his brows and impatiently exclaimed, "My beloved consort, that is enough."
Zhang Qi's voice was soft and sweet, and she pouted, saying: "Your Majesty, why are you asking so many questions? I just want it!" Her Wu Nong dialect made the two "ma" sounds linger sweetly and long, directly melting one's heart.
He approached Zhang Qi and had just presented his hands, but Zhang Qi, with her delicate and fair index finger pointed, playfully said: "Help me draw the sword and kill that man"
The man who had just been promoted three ranks and suddenly ascended to the position of a powerful minister turned pale as a sheet. He shouted loudly and fell to his knees with a thud, pleading in despair: "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life!"
The man was also watching this scene with a smile, but the smile on his face seemed somewhat stiff, and in his eyes, there was a faint hint of reluctance and a trace of pain
Zhang Qi smiled like a flower and said playfully, "I want that!" She pointed with her delicate hand towards a treasured sword hanging behind the new emperor
In the absolute silence where even the heartbeat can be heard, Zhang Qi smiled gently at the corners of her mouth as she walked gracefully towards the swaying man who had not yet collapsed.
She adjusted her disheveled garments and walked gracefully towards the palace.
The new emperor, seeing that he was unconcerned, nodded and said gently: "Your Majesty's heartfelt intentions are deeply appreciated, and I am very satisfied. Therefore, I shall promote you to the position of Grand Minister of Ceremonies."
In the stillness, Zhang Qige smiled, her enchanting eyes glancing at the new emperor like rippling waves. In a soft and leisurely manner, she said: "Your Majesty, this person can sell his wife for glory today; how can we know that he won't sell his master for glory in the future? Just let me kill him!" The word 'let' was drawn out long, soft, and charming, like a playful pout.
So light, so easy
The voice is soft and gentle, yet the words are laced with blood
Her red lips slowly drew closer
The laughter in the hall suddenly ceased, and all the men turned their gazes in that direction. Pairs of eyes glinted like wolves and tigers, and the sound of frequent swallowing echoed throughout the hall
Blood flows like a torrent, converging into a stream within the Hall of White Jade
Slowly squatting down, Zhang Qisu's hands, as white as jade, caressed the man's face as if she were touching the most precious gem, and then gently lifted his chin.
I never expected it to be like this; her husband had a fair and handsome face, and he stared at Zhang Qi in shock, stammering, "Your Highness, this joke is not funny!"
Her beautiful eyes glance around, and her smile is like a blooming flower
She leaned towards his lips, her warm lips brushed against his cold ones like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then her red lips moved to his ear, where he heard her gentle voice, as tender as ever, softly whispering, "Husband"
It seemed that she did not know what everyone was laughing about, yet her husband also joined in the laughter, his smile radiant
As soon as the Emperor's words were spoken, a tall eunuch responded with solemnity, holding the sword and striding towards Zhang Qi.
The young emperor, inebriated, clapped his hands and laughed carelessly, saying: "Since my beloved consort enjoys it, then go ahead and kill it!"
She is now the one who holds the utmost favor in His Majesty's heart, and the eunuch, feeling a chill, dared not hesitate
She slightly tilted her head and then turned back, a strand of ink-black hair cascading down, obscuring her bright eyes, "Your Majesty"
Zhang Qi's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "I wish to speak a word with your new doctor." With a flick of her tongue, she lightly brushed against the young emperor's ear, akin to a snake flicking its tongue. As this action quickened his breath and deepened his gaze, Zhang Qi giggled and gracefully descended from his lap in an exquisitely enchanting manner
Her ink-black hair and rosy complexion, eyes like spring waves, radiant wrists reflecting light, and a long, graceful neck
This sound is so delightful that it penetrates to the very bones
Her eyes shimmered like smoke as she glanced at the man standing in the hall
Her husband stared blankly at Zhang Qi, who was drawing closer, his thin lips parted slightly, yet he ultimately did not call out her name
The new emperor laughed heartily once again. Amidst his laughter, he lowered his head to look at Zhang Qi in his arms. His cold, snake-like hand gently caressed Zhang Qi's neck. As that hand continued to stroke, it slowly slipped beneath her collar. Gradually, that snake-like large hand reached into her belly pocket, and then, with a firm grasp, he seized the jade-like breast that could not be covered by his palm.
The new emperor was unable to hold onto her. At the age of eleven, he was already accustomed to the allure of women. Zhang Qi's seduction did not provoke his primal instincts. He leaned back slightly, gazing with satisfaction at the beauty twisting her slender waist, moving further away, and thought to himself: Truly a rare gem! Among the one thousand three hundred beauties in my harem, none can compare to her. There may be those with her beauty, but none possess her charm!
In the gaze of the new emperor, Zhang Qi walked step by step towards the grand hall, step by step towards her husband
With a swish, countless people turned their heads simultaneously, and countless pairs of eyes looked towards the person pointed at by Zhang Qi's finger
Then just kill it
Therefore, his actions intensified further
Slowly, she leaned back, her delicate body sinking deeply into the embrace of the new emperor like a serpent. Then, she brought her cherry lips close to the new emperor's ear, exhaling softly, her voice laced with the tender gasps of someone being caressed, "Your Majesty"
In the envious and jealous gazes of the ministers, the husband was overjoyed. He bowed deeply and exclaimed with a trembling voice, "I thank Your Majesty for your great favor!" When he raised his head again, his face was radiant, and in his glance, there was a sense of pride and fulfillment.
Her husband has finally ascended to great heights!
She gently called out, "Husband, did I not say before? I wish to share life and death with you." She smiled softly, just like on their wedding night, delicately and tenderly saying, "I know, husband, that you do not wish to die yet. However, I am already longing for death; how can I allow you to thrive in this world, rising in rank and wealth, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, while I am left all alone to wander towards the yellow springs?
When she was five steps away from her husband, Zhang Qi stopped in her tracks
The young emperor, having acquired such extraordinary beauty, was in his most joyful moment. He smiled and replied, "What does my beloved consort desire?"
The young emperor was so pleased by her flattery that he asked with a smile, "What does my beloved consort wish to say?"
He was still crying for mercy, five steps away, Zhang Qi had already glared at that eunuch and gestured with his mouth
Zhang Qi smiled even more brightly
The young emperor chuckled and said, "Alright, alright!" What difference does it make to give her the sword? After all, she is far from him and could never stab the imperial carriage.
Zhang Qi pouted her lips and exclaimed in a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty, please grant my wish and kill this person to make me happy!"
She, with a smile as charming as a flower, gazed directly at the man whose enlarged pupils reflected disbelief and reluctance
She did not respond to the emperor either
Zhang Qi lowered her gaze, the corners of her petite lips curling into a charming smile: Indeed, it has sold for a high price!
The new emperor is still in a state of bewilderment
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, the new emperor furrowed his brow and asked, "What does the beloved consort need a sword for?"
All sounds have vanished
A sudden silence enveloped the hall
She simply stood up with a delicate smile, gracefully walked to the man's back, leaned slightly forward, extended her right hand, and then, she suddenly pulled the sword hilt outward!
Look, how composed they are, even at this moment, they still remember to call her "Your Majesty" instead of the name they have called her for so many years, "Qier"!
The young emperor most enjoys witnessing this scene
At this point, she smiled charmingly again, then extended her slender white index finger, wiped away a trickle of fresh blood from the corner of his lips, playfully placed it in her small mouth, sucked on it a few times, and slowly swallowed it
Zhang Qi did not look back
She came before him
The new emperor kneaded Zhang Qi's soft right breast, and due to the force of his actions, the outer garment and the belly band gradually slipped away at one corner, revealing the skin inside that had been pampered and had never seen the sunlight, glistening like jade.
