"Qin Yun, you not only covet my body, but you also covet my money! What do you have to say for yourself?"
Qin Yun tensed his body and said nervously, "A gentleman loves wealth and acquires it honorably. Everyone likes money. I am not a saint, so naturally, I like it! But I will not covet Your Majesty's money. I am an upright person; what is not mine, I will not touch even a penny!"
Jie Qianmo pinched Qin Yun's chin and stroked it continuously. "What if I allow you to covet it?"
"Your Majesty, I was besotted just now. Please rest assured, I will forget everything I saw today when I return home!"
"It seems you don't remember what I said!" Jie Qianmo smiled wickedly!
"You entered my treasury and saw half of my treasures. You must become half of my Imperial Consort. Do you understand?"
"Your Majesty, I...!"
Before Qin Yun could finish speaking, Jie Qianmo placed his index finger on her lips, silencing her!
"I know what you want to say! This matter is not up to you to decide!"
"Qin Yun, you must think carefully! Becoming half of my Imperial Consort will bring many benefits! For example, inexhaustible wealth, and people and matters you cannot resolve, I can help you resolve them! In the imperial court, I can also protect you!"
If the scoundrel man said it like this!
Wouldn't she be able to walk around freely in the Great Zhou Kingdom in the future?
Such tempting conditions!
It would be a lie not to be moved!
"Consider it, how about it?" Jie Qianmo's index finger moved away from Qin Yun's lips!
Qin Yun lowered her head, still feeling a bit resistant, thinking the matter of being an Imperial Consort was too absurd!
"Your Majesty, I don't need so much money. My annual salary is enough!"
"Besides, I haven't encountered people or matters that trouble me; even if I do, I will find a way to resolve them!"
"As for Your Majesty's protection, as long as I don't offend anyone, I naturally won't need Your Majesty's protection!"
How many people wanted such protection, and he refused them, yet this brat truly didn't know what was good for him!
Jie Qianmo was furious at Qin Yun's words!
He said coldly, "Are you truly relying on that meager salary? If you defy me, I have plenty of ways to dock your salary. Don't count on the Condensation Dew Cream to bring you income either. If you are disobedient, your private business dealings will also be impossible."
"Qin's Wine Shop, I will also suppress it completely and make all your wine shops disappear from the capital!"
Still not appeased by this, Jie Qianmo continued, "Don't think I don't know that the person you most want to eliminate is Li Fengsheng! If you obey me obediently, I can help you deal with Li Fengsheng. If you are disobedient... I will promote Li Fengsheng and let his official rank be above yours, and then let him 'discipline' you properly in private!"
"You say you don't need my protection as long as you don't offend anyone. Have you ever considered... that you have already offended me! Do you think your future days will be easy?"
Having said this, Jie Qianmo chose to stop speaking!
He saw Qin Yun lowering her head helplessly, not speaking for a long time!
At this moment, Jie Qianmo felt some regret!
Did he just... say too much?
Especially when he mentioned suppressing Qin's Wine Shop and promoting Li Fengsheng!
Qin Yun's body trembled slightly upon hearing these two matters!
Jie Qianmo stroked Qin Yun's face!
He regretted it, regretting threatening her like that!
Is it too late to go back on his word now?
"Actually, I... don't like Li Fengsheng much either! As for Qin's Wine Shop, I can also consider not suppressing it!" Jie Qianmo tried to explain!
Qin Yun pushed Jie Qianmo away, her mood low, and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to oppose me?"
"It's you who is opposing me! I gave you a choice!" Jie Qianmo's voice gradually softened!
"Your Majesty, you seem determined to have me. If you can't get me, you'll destroy me... right?"
Destroy?
He hadn't thought of that!
But what he had just said!
She seemed to have misunderstood!
That's right! He was angry at the time and his words were extreme!
"You listen to my sophistry, no no no... you listen to my explanation!"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to explain. I just want to ask one question! What does it take to be half of an Imperial Consort? And how should I serve Your Majesty?"
As soon as these words came out, Jie Qianmo felt a little joy in his heart!
But before he could be happy for even a second, he saw fear arising in Qin Yun's eyes again!
To avoid making Qin Yun feel troubled, Jie Qianmo said softly, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you!"
"You can continue to live in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, but when I miss you, you must come to see me at any time. At the same time... you cannot stop me from visiting you!"
"I don't need you to take off your clothes and go all the way."
Hearing that she didn't need to undress or go all the way, Qin Yun's heart finally loosened a bit!
"Then what do I need to do?" Qin Yun's mind began to wander in all sorts of directions!
He wouldn't use other methods, would he?
"You cannot stop me from kissing you. Other than that, if you don't want to, I won't casually touch you!"
Qin Yun thought carefully. Being kissed by the scoundrel man was not a big deal!
As long as he didn't do anything excessive!
"Is that all? Are there no other requirements?" Qin Yun asked cautiously!
"No!" He wanted to take a step further and get intimate! But he was afraid of scaring her!
For now, he would be content with the benefits of kissing, hugging, and lifting high!
What happens in the future can be discussed in the future!
"May I make a request!"
"Speak!"
Qin Yun bit her lower lip and said softly, "Your Majesty, can we not let any third person know about this matter?"
Jie Qianmo narrowed his eyes and pondered!
He had never intended to let a third person know either!
This brat's request was not excessive!
"Yes!"
Hearing Jie Qianmo agree! Qin Yun's heart, which had been at her throat, slowly calmed down!
"Remember, you are now my secret Imperial Consort, and I have the right to seek some proper benefits!" Jie Qianmo pulled Qin Yun into his embrace again!
Qin Yun did not struggle!
At first, she was afraid, truly afraid that Jie Qianmo would go all the way!
Fortunately, it was just simple kissing and hugging, which she could grudgingly accept!
"Your Majesty, we have been in here for a long time!" Qin Yun reminded him softly!
Having tasted the sweetness today, Jie Qianmo knew it was time to stop!
He slowly let go of Qin Yun, pinched her little nose, and said gently, "Qin Yun, what I said earlier about suppressing Qin's Wine Shop and promoting Li Fengsheng was all out of anger. Don't take it to heart!"
Jie Qianmo thought about it carefully and felt it was best to be frank with Qin Yun, lest this brat overthink things after returning!
Qin Yun did not speak, she understood perfectly well!
If she hadn't backed down first, the scoundrel man would definitely have become insane!
Being half of the Imperial Consort... there must be many privileges, right?
She would use Jie Qianmo's hand to eliminate Li Fengsheng!
She, Qin Yun, was not someone to be trifled with!
If Jie Qianmo wanted to gain some sweetness from her!
She would use his power to bring down her enemies!
"Your Majesty, do you still remember where you put those three rolls of golden silk fabric?"
"There are too many fabrics, I don't know where I put them! I'll help you look for them!"
Qin Yun nodded!
With an extra helper, she was happy to be at ease!
Then!
The two began to search for the golden silk fabric!
Jie Qianmo had never done such menial work before and didn't know how to start!
He glanced at Qin Yun. Seeing her searching back and forth!
He began to imitate Qin Yun and started searching!
When Jie Qianmo was concentrating on searching for the golden silk fabric, Qin Yun's gaze slowly shifted to him!
She had reluctantly agreed to become his half Imperial Consort earlier!
If she hadn't heard about Qin's Wine Shop and Li Fengsheng!
She might not have agreed!
She was originally a little angry about being forced to agree!
But looking at Jie Qianmo searching for the fabric for her at this moment, her heart slowly melted!
Setting aside the scoundrel man's brute force and domineering nature, he was actually quite good!
Compared to those men who hid knives in smiles and spoke honeyed words!
The scoundrel man was indeed much stronger! At least this person wouldn't say one thing and do another. Thinking this way... her mood improved significantly!
"Qin Yun, I found it! Look quickly!" Jie Qianmo was extremely delighted! He quickly beckoned to Qin Yun!
At this moment, he was like a child, as if he had done something extraordinary and was waiting for Qin Yun to praise him!
