SBCEJM -Chapter 27 Forcing the Emperor? No — The Empress Was Saving the People from Harm!

Empress Liu lowered her gaze, her long lashes concealing the emotions in her eyes.

The atmosphere inside the hall froze solid. A pin drop could have been heard.

Only after a long while did she slowly speak, her voice hoarse yet commanding beyond dispute.

“I shall trust you for now. You may leave first. But if His Majesty still does not recover… Lord Feng, you know the consequences.”

“Yes. This minister takes his leave.”

As if granted a royal pardon, Feng Zexuan fled Kunning Palace like her life depended on it.

Inside the hall, the Empress walked step by step toward the dragon bed, lowering her eyes to the emperor, who was still shamelessly clinging to the eunuch’s leg.

Expressionless, she raised a hand and dismissed every maid and eunuch, leaving only herself and the lovesick emperor behind.

Squatting down, her slender jade-like hand forcefully pried open the emperor’s death grip on Laifu’s leg.

Eunuch Fu seized the chance to break free and scrambled out of the inner chamber in utter panic, as though evil spirits were chasing after him.

Empress Liu crouched beside the bed, her phoenix eyes fixed tightly on Xiao Juechen.

The emperor’s gaze was hazy, and he continued mumbling “Beloved Consort” under his breath.

A sharp pain stabbed through her heart. Suppressing the bitterness inside, she took a deep breath.

“Your Majesty!” she called softly, trying to wake him as her fingers gently stroked his cheek.

“Get away! You vicious woman! My beloved consort is Laifu!”

Xiao Juechen slapped her hand away, his eyes filled with disgust — even fear.

The Empress’s heart sank violently, and fury shot straight to her head.

Born into a military family and trained in martial arts since childhood, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

The emperor was calling her a “vicious woman,” yet hugging a crusty old eunuch while calling him “beloved consort”!

Absurd. Utterly absurd!

No longer suppressing herself, frost spread across her face and ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

If gentle persuasion would not work, then…

She would use force.

Rising to her feet, she expressionlessly lifted her hand and untied the sash of her phoenix robe.

The bright yellow silk slipped down, revealing the exquisite sleeping garments beneath.

Xiao Juechen still struggled there, muttering Laifu’s name.

The Empress lunged forward in a single step and pinned him down onto the dragon bed.

Her phoenix eyes were icy cold, and her grip did not loosen in the slightest.

“Your Majesty, today, whether you want it or not… you will take it!”

Her voice carried absolute determination.

Xiao Juechen trembled violently, the dazed haze in his eyes instantly replaced with terror.

“Y-you! What are you doing?! I am the Emperor! You shall not defile my pure body! My heart belongs to Laifu forever!”

He cried out like a helpless maiden being abducted by a tyrant.

The Empress ignored him completely and stripped the emperor bare in a few swift moves.

……

At chen hour, inside the Golden Throne Hall.

Morning court began on time.

The civil and military officials yawned and rubbed their sleepy eyes, preparing for yet another dull morning.

However, the moment the man seated upon the dragon throne appeared, every trace of drowsiness vanished instantly.

Emperor Xiao Juechen strode up the imperial steps with vigorous confidence. His complexion was rosy, his spirit refreshed, and between his brows lingered a hint of…post-indulgence laziness and satisfaction?

The officials exchanged bewildered glances, all silently wondering.

Which consort’s palace had His Majesty visited last night?

What kind of nourishment had restored him to this state?

Wasn’t the last rumor claiming he only lasted three seconds?

Could it be Lord Feng’s miracle medicine had truly cured him?

Several officials suffering from the same affliction instantly looked toward Feng Zexuan with blazing eyes filled with curiosity and longing.

Their thoughts began stirring.

If they befriended Lord Feng, perhaps they too could obtain that divine medicine?

This concerned the happiness of the rest of their lives!

Just then, Little Lord Feng’s familiar inner voice rang out.

【Holy crap! The old emperor recovered this fast? Looks like somebody successfully got him last night! I just wonder… how fierce was the battle?】

【System, system! Hurry and give me a live broadcast! Did the Empress personally step in, or did she find someone else to do the job?】

Across the court, every official’s ears perked up simultaneously.

It was here. Lord Feng’s morning court drama show — late, but never absent!

On the dragon throne, the smile that had just begun forming on Xiao Juechen’s lips instantly froze.

The imperial dignity he had only just regained nearly shriveled back up on the spot.

This Feng Zekai — why was he so obsessed with digging into the emperor’s gossip?!

【Host, obviously the Empress handled it personally!】 the system replied gleefully.

【Though the process was rather… complicated.】

【At first, the Empress dismissed everyone and rescued Laifu. Then she tried coaxing His Majesty gently and patiently.】

【But His Majesty was completely convinced that Eunuch Laifu was his “white moonlight.” He resisted the Empress fiercely and cried while demanding to see his “beloved consort.”】

The officials all lowered their heads and pretended to discuss state affairs, but their shoulders shook uncontrollably.

【And then? What happened next?!】

Feng Zexuan pressed eagerly, her gossip-fueled curiosity blazing.

【Then the Empress got angry! Worthy of being a tiger daughter from a military family — she directly staged a forced sex!】

【In just a few moves she stripped the emperor and pinned him onto the dragon bed!】

【At the time, His Majesty cried so hard — tears streaming like pear blossoms in rain — like some innocent maiden being abducted by a tyrant. He kept yelling, “You vicious woman! Don’t you dare defile my pure body! My heart belongs to Laifu forever!”】

【PFFT HAHAHAHAHA—!】

This time, several people broke at once.

Over among the military officials, General Cheng’s dark face had turned liver-purple, veins bulging from his neck as he struggled not to laugh.

On the civil officials’ side, old Prime Minister Lin’s beard trembled like a sieve.

Xiao Juechen sat atop the dragon throne feeling as though nails had grown beneath him. His handsome face was black as the bottom of a wok, his hands gripping the throne armrests so tightly his knuckles turned white.

At this moment, he truly wanted to drag Feng Zekai out and sentence him to death by a thousand cuts!

【HAHAHAHA! I’m dying! So the emperor actually has this kind of delicate little wife side to him?!】

【Acting all reluctant after getting exactly what he wanted — look at you!】

【So when did he regain consciousness?】

【Halfway through!】 the system snickered.

【The Empress’s forceful tactics snapped him awake.】

【The moment he opened his eyes and realized the person on top of him was the rightful Empress — combined with that ultimate experience — the old emperor instantly lost his soul. He immediately turned the tables and seized control!】

【According to my calculations, they went at it three times before court started! If the hour hadn’t arrived, he wouldn’t even have wanted to stop. Truly fierce as a dragon and vigorous as a tiger!】

Three times?!

The officials were stunned.

That rumored “three-second man” had actually… gone three rounds?!

The medicine’s effects were terrifyingly powerful!

In an instant, countless gazes filled with envy, shock, and admiration shot toward the emperor seated on the throne.

Xiao Juechen’s face had already shifted from black to dark purple.

Taking a deep breath, he squeezed out several words through clenched teeth:

“If there is business, present it. If not, court is dismissed!”

【Huh? Court’s ending this early today?】 Feng Zexuan wondered.

【Host, the emperor probably wants to hurry back and fight another three hundred rounds!】

The emperor: “……”

Feng Zexuan: 【Still, this medicine really works instantly. Do you think the emperor might reward me with ten thousand taels of gold and thousands of acres of fertile land?】

Xiao Juechen: “……”

Right now, he only wanted to reward her with a strip of white silk for execution.

No — extermination of all nine clans!
