Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

He was preparing to spend the night on the dragon bed, talking with Yang Yuru by candlelight, brewing tea and discussing politics.

It was at this moment that Chi Junlin received news that Jiang Qianju was setting off from the princess's residence and was on her way to the inner garden to meet him.

Chi Junlin was not surprised when he heard this.

Instead, he leaned against Yang Yuru's phoenix couch, waved his hand, and signaled the palace maid who had reported the news to leave.

After the palace maids came out, Yang Yurou, her clothes disheveled, clutched her phoenix cloak and emerged from behind the gauze curtain.

She looked at Chi Junlin, who was lying leisurely on the bedside with a complicated expression, seemingly unsure how to face the "Commander-in-Chief Princess" who had taken her virginity.

Although Jiang Hao had been married to Yang Yurou for several years, he began to favor the newly appointed imperial concubine, Yu Shi, after he ascended the throne.

Therefore, he rarely showed favor to Yang Yurou.

In other words, Yang Yuru hasn't had sex in a long time.

As a renowned virtuous empress, Yang Yurou was not a jealous person.

The woman surnamed Yu was so beautiful that she was breathtakingly gorgeous and could topple kingdoms; even she, a woman herself, found her attractive.

Jiang Hao simply made the choice that any man would make.

But Jiang Hao always took Yang Yuru's unwavering affection for granted.

But Yang Yuru is also a young woman in the prime of her life.

Even knowing that life in the palace is so unbearable, who would be willing to sit idly by until their most beautiful years are wasted?

The appearance of the Crimson Emperor was like a ball of fire.

Yang Yuru originally wanted to resist.

But this fire, like a wildfire, instantly ignited her parched heart.

Before this, she had never imagined that such passionate emotions could erupt between women.

Looking back, it's less about me being submissive and more about...

Both parties are willing...

Chi Junlin leaned against the phoenix couch, draped only in a thin layer of golden silk.

Her body was not as delicate and boneless as a woman's; on the contrary, it appeared vigorous and strong due to her years of military service.

At this moment, Chi Junlin said to Yang Yurou with an appreciative expression, "Your Majesty is so brave and valiant. I never imagined that beneath this reserved and kind exterior lies a heart as fiery as a wolf or tiger."

If I'm not mistaken, then Jiang Hao and the Empress haven't consummated their marriage for quite some time, haven't they?

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Yang Yuru blushed instantly and stammered, unable to utter a word.

As someone from a prestigious family, she was clearly ashamed to discuss these private matters.

But what made her even more ashamed was that Chi Junlin's words were all true, piercing her sensitive heart instantly.

It even made her doubt whether she was the kind of woman she used to despise the most...

"I'm a little hungry, Your Majesty. May I have a longan peeled for you?"

Hearing Chi Junlin's words, Yang Yuru felt even more ashamed. She didn't know what she was thinking, but her face turned red to the roots of her ears.

But Yang Yuru now knows that Chi Junlin has a domineering personality.

Once a promise is made, it will not be kept until the goal is achieved.

She could only walk obediently to the bedside with a little resentment, pick up a longan and carefully peel it with her slender fingers.

Then it was brought to Chi Junlin's lips.

Chi Junlin smiled broadly but did not speak.

He then said, "Feed me."

Yang Yuru replied, somewhat embarrassed and angry, "Why must Your Highness humiliate me like this..."

"But His Majesty's life or death rests entirely on the Empress's lips..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuru immediately became conflicted.

Clearly, Chi Junlin had thoroughly grasped the character of this gentle, virtuous, loyal, and noble empress.

She knew that as long as Jiang Hao's life or death was involved, even if she resisted in her heart, Yang Yuru would eventually choose to give in.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a long time, Yang Yuru blushed and put the longan into her red lips.

She chewed slightly with her lips, her face showing shame, yet her demeanor remained dignified.

A short while later, Yang Yuru spat out a small fruit pit.

He closed his eyes and bowed.

After a while, she straightened up with flushed cheeks and somewhat embarrassedly wiped the fruit juice from the corners of her mouth.

Chi Junlin licked his lips with a satisfied expression.

The review stated, "Sweet and fragrant, rich and delicious."

Yang Yuru got up to leave.

Chi Junlin, however, seized the beauty's soft hand.

"More."

She spoke softly, her face as lovely as a peach blossom, enduring humiliation and shame.

But he had no choice but to put another longan into his mouth.

This happened three times, until Yang Yuru was so embarrassed she wanted to die.

Suddenly, a voice announcing something came from outside the palace gate.

"Reporting—Princess Luanping, Jiang Qianju, requests an audience with Her Majesty the Empress, wishing her a long and peaceful life!"

Yang Yuru was immediately taken aback when she heard the announcement.

Because at the moment, only she and the Crimson King are inside the palace.

Moreover, since the two women were disheveled, if the princess were to enter, she would surely understand what had just happened between them.

Princess Jiang Qianju was the person she least wanted to know about this.

But just as Yang Yuru was about to escape, Chi Junlin grabbed her wrist tightly, forcing her to sit on the edge of the bed.

Jiang Qianju did not wait for a reply. Almost as soon as the report arrived, she pushed open the palace gate and walked in from the outside.

As always, Jiang Qianju wore a golden phoenix crown and a red silk robe, her face practically screaming "spoiled and rude."

She saw Chi Junlin lying on the Empress's Phoenix Bed, while Yang Yuru covered her face with her sleeves and sat on the edge of the bed with her phoenix robe in disarray, her hand held by Chi Junlin.

Seeing this scene, they didn't seem to find it strange at all.

It seemed she had long anticipated that Chi Junlin would not let go of this gentle, virtuous, and beautiful queen.

Chi Junlin, on the other hand, smiled and looked at Jiang Qianju with a magnanimous and relaxed expression.

Their gazes met in mid-air, but Jiang Qianju couldn't stand it any longer. She rolled her eyes and looked away with a hint of disgust.

Yang Yuru was so ashamed that she almost fainted at this point.

If Yang Yuru had to choose, she would rather Jiang Hao see what was happening than have Jiang Qianju see it first.

Jiang Qianju didn't speak, but simply waved her hand, signaling the two personal maids behind her to leave first.

After the palace maids left and the palace gates were closed.

Jiang Qianju, with a hint of jealousy, looked at Chi Junlin and said, "Chi Junlin, it seems I've come at the wrong time?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin laughed and said, "What are you saying, Your Highness? Could it be that Your Highness can't stand me being with other women? Are you jealous?"

"Hmph? Jealous? How could I! You fickle, heartless wretch! Chi Junlin, I'd rather die than be jealous of you!"

Amid the noise, Jiang Qianju seemed not to notice Yang Yuru sitting next to Chi Junlin.

This relieved her.

However, after regaining her senses, Yang Yuru noticed that the relationship between the two was somewhat special.

They don't seem to hate each other as much as the rumors suggest, like fire and water.

On the contrary, she felt that they were more like a couple who were prone to arguing.

Chapter 14 The warbling of orioles is melodious, and lotus flowers bloom in pairs.

The conversation between the two puzzled Yang Yuru.

The two, who were initially thought to be irreconcilable enemies and dislike each other, actually seem to have a very good relationship.

It even made her feel that the two of them had already had some kind of relationship.

But upon further reflection, Yang Yuru felt it was somewhat absurd.

Regardless of their previous relationship, they are both women.

How could anything possibly happen?

But when he turned around, he found himself sitting on the edge of the bed, his clothes disheveled.

And Chi Junlin had just met with himself...

Thinking about it this way, the relationship between Jiang Qianju and Chi Junlin doesn't seem so hard to understand anymore.

Given Jiang Qianju's spoiled and willful nature, how could she possibly allow Chi Junlin to bully her?

They even took the initiative to seek out Red King's Landing?

what is the problem?

Before Yang Yuru could figure it out, Chi Junlin began to caress her delicate, white hands.

Then he turned to Jiang Qianju and asked, "You rushed over to find me, not even waiting for me to return to the manor. Is there something important?"

Jiang Qianju snorted coldly and replied, "Ding Xia came to see me during the day."

"Ding Xia?" Chi Junlin was slightly puzzled, but quickly bowed to Jiang Qian and said, "This guy took the initiative to contact you, he definitely doesn't have good intentions. You still have to be careful of him."

"Do I need you to remind me?" Jiang Qianju said with a smug expression. "Chi Junlin, you should thank me properly. Because Ding Xia came to me to find out your whereabouts."

He'll soon be leading other martial arts figures to ambush and kidnap you.

Chi Junlin was slightly surprised to hear this. "Is that so? Tell me about it in detail."

Then Jiang Qianju told Chi Junlin what Ding Xia had said when he came to see him earlier.

After listening to Jiang Qianju's explanation, Chi Junlin had a general understanding of the situation.

Simply put, the original storyline has been greatly altered due to Chi Junlin's series of actions in the imperial city during this period.

In the story's background, after the Great Zheng Dynasty's Northern Expeditionary Army completed the destruction of the two northern kingdoms, although the world had been unified, there were still many resistance forces in the Central Plains.

In particular, the remnants of the restoration party, mainly composed of members of the former royal family.

Among these remnants of the restoration movement, the Lou clan of Xiangdi and the Zhongli clan of Liangdi resisted the most fiercely.

They secretly recruited soldiers and made friends with many martial arts figures, gaining the support of many unparalleled masters.

According to the original storyline, Chi Junlin was "relieved" by Jiang Hao to "release his military power over a cup of wine" at Ding Xia's "advice," which led to a conflict between the meritorious faction of the Zhenbei Army and the royalist faction of the Chi clan.

Many generals were unwilling to relinquish their military power.

Friction arose among the Zhenbei Army stationed around the imperial city, leading to instability within the city itself.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the court, the Lou family planned to send many experts to infiltrate the capital.

They were preparing to assassinate the emperor when the opportunity arose.

The obvious purpose was to incite chaos and reignite war.

In this way, the Lou family could snatch chestnuts from the fire and accomplish the great feat of restoring their kingdom and becoming king.

In this storyline, Ding Xia "makes a great contribution" without realizing that he is being used by those court traitors who intend to restore the country.

It can be said that he was a brainless tool from beginning to end.

Chi Junlin suffered an even worse fate. Not only was his army disbanded, but he also had to clean up the mess that Ding Xia had made.

Even the assassins who stormed the palace were dealt with by the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry.

And despite making such a great contribution, in the end, Ding Xia reaped the rewards.
