Chapter 106 (2/2)

The man in black buried his head lower and replied: “The life of this subordinate already belongs to master. No matter what emperor asks, this subordinate is willing to do it, even if it means for the knife to go down the mountain flames.”3

In fact, compared to the so-called beautiful errand just now, he is more willing to follow second and third shadow to do tasks that involved blood dripping down blades.

Since he received this secretive task, he hadn’t slept well for a day. Now he sleeps with the emperor’s woman. It was a big crime that would end in beheading. What was worse, he knew the emperor’s big secret.

That was, the emperor … is impotent!

Big shadow spent every day in fear. When he heard that fifth shadow was killed by Qin Meiren while on a mission, he would rather that he was the one that was killed.

“Big shadow, I want to warn you of one more thing. I let you use the women in the harem. Although it’s you who have the relationship, you need to know that they are still my women in the end, so—”

Yanmo Han paused and his voice was cold. “Don’t be emotionally moved by that which shouldn’t be moved. If I find out, I will kill you…forget it, you always do what I want. I can’t take your life because of a mistake, instead you will directly give up your own life.”

Big shadow shivered, he especially wanted to say to the emperor: those poisonous women in the harem, your subordinate can’t stand it, you might as well end his life now, really.

But before he had the courage to say that, he could only remain loyal on the surface.

Yanmo Han glanced at him quietly and left with his hands on his back.

It was funny that in this life, he was impotent. He gave himself a green hat but didn’t feel aggrieved at all. As long as he could kill those who have fallen one by one in the mud, he would feel extremely excited when he looked at their tragic situation before they died.

On this day, Yanmo Han was in a good mood, because after he visited the residences of no more than 20 concubines, he finally obtained his satisfying answer.

Those women in the harem are the most colorful and the one who knows the most about women are women. So he asked those women the same question: how to make a woman’s life worse than death.

At first, those women acted very pure as if their minds weren’t familiar with the world, very reserved, what was a glass of poisonous wine, what was giving three meters of white silk, what is death by a thousand cuts.4

Later, after one concubine said such vicious words like destroying one’s innocence did Yanmo Han reward a lot of gold and silver jewelry, then other concubines began to offer suggestions.

Some people said disfigurement to make her ugly.

Some people said that the ugliest and most stinky beggar should defile this woman.

Some people said that she should be poisoned, and normal blows will give her agony.

Others said that the most painful thing for a woman is not being able to be a mother, but to give her a bowl of infertility soup, so that she couldn’t be a mother for the rest of her life.

One by one, those women’s methods became more poisonous, but what Yanmo Han was most satisfied with was Li Shufei’s answer.

When Li Shufei said this, her tone was very gentle: “The most painful thing for a woman is to let her fall in love with a man with all her being. When she loves him enough to die for this man, he will then severely jilt her, heartily ridicule and humiliate her.”

In order to reward Li Shufei for offering such a good method, Yanmo Han rested in her palace that night and let big shadow give her a lot of love.

Listening to the woman’s slutty sweet screams, Yanmo Han’s eyes were full of sarcasm and disgust, but soon his thin lips were lifted on both sides.

I’m suddenly in a good mood.

In the early Han Dynasty, Yanmo Han rarely had a problem with civil and military officials.

Civil and military officials thought today’s sun may have come from the west, because the emperor didn’t find any fault.5

That wasn’t right.

In recent months, the little emperor had become more and more fierce, ruthless and sophisticated. Everyone had seen the emperor change his blood without a trace. He replaced some old officials in the court with his own people, especially the Qin family’s influence. He was pulling it out little by little.

The emperor wanted to kill the Qin family.
