Chapter 415
Chapter 415 – Lustful Emperor
Hu Che-er retold Tong everything he knew about the Xiongnu princess . Combined with Hua Xin and Huang Wan's testimony, suspicious on this Wang Yi grew .
Still, their stories had one thing in common .
This Wang Yi did not get along with Khan .
With this one common point, Tong's advisors in the clan chat had many opinions about her .
Xun Yu analyzed that this new concubine plotted to get on Tong's boat before Khan's rotting ship sunk, so she came up with this scheme, using Lu Zhi's friends .
Lu Zhi believed that this princess was smart and sincere enough to bring the family of his friends along . Although her methods were questionable, it benefitted them . Secondly, she did not order Hu Che-er to harm anyone without her consent, which proved her good intent .
Te Langpu assumed that Wang Yi was just a gold-digging thot, which could only serve as Tong's bed warmer . He suggested that Tong should not trust this woman if she wanted to get involved in politics .
Ju Shou saw Wang Yi as a heroine who fought for her people . With her method of bringing surviving former Han Ministers and their family out of the Xiongnu's grasp, she had completed a good deed .
Jia Xu did not trust Liu Yang . In his opinion, had she been sincere from the very beginning, she could have been honest about her status and told everyone about the hostages .
Similar to Jia Xu, Xun You wanted Liu Yang dead or be banished from Tong's harem . A dishonest woman did not deserve to be included among Tong's royal consorts .
Li Feihong refused to give Tong a piece of advice regarding this matter since it involved Tong's family affair . He also abstained from all voting .
Sima Fang, surprisingly, believed that the princess committed a mistake because of her inexperience and naivety, which ended up making a dubious scheme . However, her goal aligned with Tong's objective, so they should work together to help the Han people .
Hua Xin and Huang Wan were neutral about this . Although their family was unharmed, they still could not trust the princess, who was once the brain of Chanyu Khan Army .
After the brainstorm, the majority of Tong's subordinates did not trust this new consort . Even Tong had a suspicion on her after hearing all the comments .
"I've picked up a snake into my harem, haven't I?"
Lu Zhi chuckled, "Every woman can become a snake . Many women fell a nation before in history, so don't let your guard down, disciple . "
Tong sighed and turned to Hu Che-er, "Have you led an army before?"
"Yes, your majesty . Unfortunately, my highest rank was a 5,000-man commander . "
"That's good enough . Transfer him to the White Horse Legion . That group needs an experienced general to train their forces . "
Hu Che-er thought that he got a promotion, he kowtowed and accepted this favor .
"Thank you, your majesty! I'll repay this kindness with my life!"
"Hai, hai . Just take it easy . You'll be working with a bunch of monsters, so don't get disheartened later, okay?"
The former assassin did not understand what Tong implied . In the future, he would recall these words when he met Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, and Wei Yan in Ganling a few months later . However, that was another story .
To ensure Hu Che-er's absolute loyalty, Tong invited him into his clan chat along with Wei Yan, Sima Yi, Liu Ye, and Liu Xie .
With the additional five, all invitation slots this year were used up . Next year, Tong would get Hua Xin, Huang Wan, and other leftover officers to his clan later .
.
.
Back at home, Tong rearranged his nighttime schedule again . This time, he placed more importance on this suspicious Wang Yi, so she could reveal her true color soon . By cutting his time with Diaochan and Dong Bai to use them on Wang Yi, the four jealous wives would bully this girl and would force her to commit a mistake .
If she was an honest girl, then he could apologize to her later . But if she had an ulterior motive, Medusa and Friday would not leave her alive .
'Anyway, I like her Ahegao face . I'll do her again tonight . '
Tong got addicted to Liu Yang's honest expression .
Cai Wenji and Du Shi were the types who suppressed their emotions, so Tong felt that something was missing when he slept with them . Diaochan and Friday were the S-type, so he did not get to satisfy his alpha male role .
However, Liu Yang was the answer to what Tong had been searching for . With her erotic expression, her youthful body, and her submissive nature, the pedophile spirit of Tong was fully awakened .
Although Tong's heart was screaming that he should not trust the fifth concubine, his manhood's reaction proved otherwise .
A day later, Liu Yang was not able to sleep or walk straight as Tong enjoyed pumping his seeds into her stomach .
Tong also paid the price for giving too much favor on Liu Yang as well . The four jealous wives got fired up and worked harder on their bed activities, which exhausted him in the daytime .
Yet, like a young boy who had acquired his new favorite toy, Tong wanted to play more with Wang Yi's body .
The habit of constraint sex every night had an influence on Tong's need at night . As his sexual urge rose and his nature corrupted by the carnal desire, Tong added a tag [Time Stop] on Diaochan and Dong Bai to subdue their S nature .
Two weeks later, the S wives, Friday and Diaochan, got the table turned on them . Both of them had the same state as Liu Yang after their night duty, unable to gather their strength in the morning .
Diaochan, who was the strongest among all wives, even complained, "Don't use your [Time Stop] . It's cheating!"
Her complaint did not last long . After Tong got a hold of their sexual traits, he exploited their weaknesses and got them on the passive side .
After that point, both sadistic demonesses slowly transformed into obedient wives as Tong trained them to suit his pace .
Even Cai Wenji and Du Shi became more expressive . These two had learned about Liu Yang's traits from their private spies that his fifth consort always moaned out loud and gave a lewd expression when Tong was with her . As a result, both competitive girls adapted to Tong's taste, throwing away their shame .
As for the one who pulled the trigger of this lewd fest, Liu Yang got most of Tong's affectionate nights, but she failed to get pregnant . Still, her expression was as delightful as ever, to the point that Tong often asked for extended times, grinding her till noon .
Sometimes, Tong used his souls to do the work while his real body sneaked to Liu Yang's room during the daytime, continuing what they left off at night .
Instead of resisting, Liu Yang welcomed him with her wide open arms . . . and legs . Even without Tong's Lust Curse, Liu Yang forgot about her objectives every time she saw Tong's naked body .
Aside from the four-winged Diaochan, the other four concubines never had enough strength to stand straight or cause trouble for their rivals anymore . Peace returned to the inner palace, along with never-ending lewd sound at night .
All maids who worked in the inner palace could hear the sultry voice and sound from either Tong's chamber or the rooms of the concubines .
The rumor spread that Tong was a wolf at night . All officials in the court learned about it later, which caused another wave of a new trend .
.
.
.
A month passed .
After Tong had taken in Wang Yi, aka Liu Yang, many nobles and merchants attempted to introduce their relatives, daughters, sisters, granddaughters, or even picked up an unknown woman to Tong, hoping to establish a relationship with the emperor .
The rumor had been circulating among Ye's citizens that the emperor was doing his best to produce an heir . With this kind of story going around, many opportunists tried to use this chance to connect their bloodline with Tong .
Tong's queue was already full, and he was satisfied with five wives, so there was no reason to accept any more concubine .
However, a few individuals got Tong's attention .
Qiao Xuan, a former official from Lujiang Commandery, came to pledge allegiance to Tong . Because of Cao Cao's campaign to the Yangtze River Region, Lujiang and Shouchun were involved in the conflict and constraint war .
Therefore, Qiao Xuan and his family migrated here .
He also came with his two famous daughters, the elder Qiao and the younger Qiao, who was known as,
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao
Da Qiao was 15 this year, while Xiao Qiao was still 14 . However, their pretty youthful face, their upbringing manner, and their colorful robes reminded Tong of how Cai Wenji impressed him when they first met .
At first, Tong wanted to turn them away, but he had the urge to collect these famous beauties .
Qiao Xuan bowed, "I will be frank, your majesty . I hope that you can take them under your wings . I don't hope for a grand position in the court in return . As a father, I want them to be happy . "
Everyone in the throne room mocked Qiao Xuan, believing that he was another greedy noble who sought power by using a shortcut . Even Xun Yu, Te Langpu, and Sima Fang were disgusted by this action .
Tong sighed, "I told this to many people before . Do you know that the inner palace is hell for all concubines and their servants? There is a hidden battlefield behind the court right now . My concubines are fighting for the vacant empress seat . If they join them now, I don't think they will find happiness there . "
Qiao Xuan had a wry smile on his face . He understood this point well, which was why he was against his daughters getting into Tong's harem .
On the contrary, Xiao Qiao had wide sparkling eyes as she gazed at Tong . She spoke without permission .
"How many concubines do you have in your court, your majesty?"
Many officials glared at Xiao Qiao since she did not mind her manner . Also, the question was rude to the emperor .
However, Tong did not mind it, "Five . Why do you want to know?"
"Your majesty, do you know how many concubines all emperors in the past had?"
"I'm not into other's family affair, but I guess ten? Maybe?"
"Wrong, your majesty . They averagely had hundreds! Five is considered too few!"
All civil officers murmured . They agreed with Xiao Qiao in this regard .
"You're funny . Is this how you want me to take you in?"
"You're wrong again . I'm simply stating the fact that you're more honorable than all previous emperors . "
Tong snickered, finding that this cheeky girl had something wrong with her head, "How am I honorable? I was the previous empress' consort, and I stole the throne from her son . "
"Wrong again, your majesty . His highness Liu Xie is the eldest son of consort Wang, which is not even her own son! You have done nothing wrong . In fact, you stabilized the country instead of letting an innocent child handling the throne, which benefits this country! Also, being on the top of the country for a long time can corrupt your mind and your heart, just like the first Qin Emperor . He had a good cause for unifying the country, but he was so addicted to sex that he sought immortality to have an everlasting bedtime . However, you're different! That's why I admire you, your majesty . I trust that you're an honorable man who values your duties over your greed and lust! That's why I coaxed my father into offering my sister and me to you . "
All officers and Tong's mouth turned into an O after they had listened to Xiao Qiao's logic .
After ten seconds of awkward silence, everyone burst into laughter, including Tong, who held his stomach, dying laughing .
Tong gasped as if he was dying, "Oh, god . You're an interesting girl . Hahahaha!"
Even the stern Sima Fang had a faint smile on his face . He shook his head and lamented, "So young, so naïve . "
Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Qiao Xuan were surprised by their reaction .
The youngest daughter's face reddened in embarrassment, "Did I say something wrong?"
Xun Yu, who was trying to hold back his laughter, explained, "Little girl . Even though his majesty has only five consorts, none of them made their appearance at any meeting at all . Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Tong coughed, interrupted Xun Yu, "They … are not in the condition to attend any public meeting . "
"Huh?"
All officials in the hall snickered as everyone knew about Tong's activities at night . They could claim that Tong was more lustful than any emperor in history since he had infinite stamina at night . The loud moan of the consorts was the greatest proof that Tong's sexual desire was second to none .
Had any of Tong's concubines recovered from the night activities, they would get exhausted, lying on their bed the next day, since Tong would visit them at night . Wang Yi had the most visits this month, followed by Diaochan, who had infinite stamina like Tong .
When Xun Yu sent someone to whisper the details to Xiao Qiao, her face reddened like a tomato .
Tong grinned, "Now that you know the truth, do you still want to be my concubine?"
Xiao Qiao bit her lower lips, wanting to cry from the embarrassment .
She wanted to give up and go home, but she noticed something .
Tong did not force her to marry him . Instead, he gave her freedom of choice .
'He's not abusing his authority . Well, that's good enough . I believe he's a reasonable man . '
Xiao Qiao was about to declare, "Please take my sister and me as your wives," Qiao Xuan cut off her words .
"Thank you for your offer . I shall take my silly daughters back to cultivate their manner first . When they learned the world better, I shall bring them here again . "
With that, Qiao Xuan dragged both his daughters away amidst everyone's laughter .
