  Asmahan Imperial Palace

  "Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

  A faint tinkling sound echoed repeatedly in the empty room.

  "Dear!"

  A soft, coquettish sigh, with a hint of abandon and seductive charm, mixed with the pleasant sound of bells to create an enchanting melody that instantly drew out a man's heavy breathing.

  A pink magic lamp, like a person whose spring heart has been stirred up, casts a warm and gentle light directly onto a luxurious and comfortable big bed. Two naked bodies are tightly entwined together like ivy on a tree, the woman's face showing a mixture of coquetry, satisfaction, and pain, her hair flying in the air as their bodies twist and turn, while the man is drenched in sweat.

  After a long time, a sigh of relief echoed in the room, and calm was restored.

  Looking at her lying beside him with closed eyes, he hesitated for a long time before finally stretching out his hand to hold the woman he loved and savor the warmth after the storm.

  "Slap!" A crisp sound, the woman gave him a loud slap on the face.

  "Adolf, never forget your identity!" The woman's charming and flirtatious expression suddenly turned into a thick frost, coldly saying, "You can get up and report to me about the Huoyun Empire now."

  Adolf quietly got up and dressed, and when he turned around to leave, his eyes flickered with a hint of tears.

  The warmth of her body still lingered in his palm, the taste of her still on his lips, but Adolf knew that he had woken up from yet another dream, and she was still that high-and-mighty queen.

  "Falling in love with such a woman, is it my good fortune or a nightmare?" He was perplexed.

  A moment later.

  Empress Lina of the Osman Empire lay on a soft couch, while Chancellor Adolph stood far away, reporting to her about the recent situation in the Huoyun Empire.

  Adolf was handsome in appearance, with a slender figure and only thirty years old. Every move he made showed a refined elegance.

  "That's all I know, Your Majesty. Does Her Majesty have any other questions?"

  Adolf bowed his head and asked in a respectful tone. For this young empress, the actual controller of the empire, Adolf's heart was filled with reverence and complex emotions.

  He admired her talent, and in the days when she held power, the empire's strength continued to grow, and the people's lives also improved. Whether military or economic strength, the Asman Empire had become the strongest on the continent.

  In many parts of the empire, there were even calls for her to ascend to the throne as empress, and they grew louder by the day. In fact, if she was willing, becoming empress would be a simple matter. Moreover, it was this woman who had promoted him from a low-ranking official to the position of prime minister, second only to the emperor.

  What he feared was her ruthlessness and mercilessness towards enemies beneath her beautiful appearance.

  He still remembered how, when she first grasped imperial power, those nobles who were unwilling to be led by a woman were slaughtered overnight by her "Shadow" guard. Bloody heads hung on the streets of Imperial Blue City for a whole mile.

  In his eyes, this meticulous woman was like a poisonous scorpion, and the "Shadow" guard was her sting.

  What's worse, Adolf fell in love with this woman. For many years, he had been faithfully guarding her. Many things that could not be exposed to the light were arranged by him. What he wanted was to help her smoothly realize her dreams and get everything she wanted.

  Watching her step by step to achieve her goal, and seeing her lose the kindness and innocence she once had, his heart was filled with both joy for her and bitter sorrow.

  The queen seemed to know his intentions towards her and gave in to him. Although she deliberately pleased him, served him gently, and even called him "darling" during their intimate moments, once it was over, she would not allow him to touch her again.

  Adolf felt no affection, no love, only a fleeting physical satisfaction that left behind an endless void and heartache. He always thought that Linmei Empress was just enjoying the thrill of breaking taboos and betraying the Emperor, while he was just a plaything to her. Because it was the Emperor who ruined her beautiful dreams in her youth.

  "It seems that old George is starting to guard against us." After listening to the prime minister's report, Queen Linmei leaned over from the soft couch and looked at Adolph.

  The lovely Empress Linmei on the couch, with a half-naked chest, wore only a thin white gauze long dress, covering her delicate and beautiful body. Occasionally turning sideways, the faintly visible white light made Adolph's eyes burn with pain, and also filled the bedroom with an intoxicating spring atmosphere. The small golden bells on her bare feet occasionally rang out with a clear and crisp sound, adding to the charm.

  Ling Mei, who looked to be in her early twenties, was actually thirty-two years old. The frost of time had not left any marks on her beautiful face, but had only added a few points of mature charm, like a ripe peach.

  When the Emperor of Asman first saw her, he wanted to pluck this peach. Later, he got her by any means. The peach is still that charming peach, but now it will flow out with a slight pinch, and it's even more tempting.

  "Your Majesty, are we ready to take action?" Adolf asked in a low voice.

  "It's not time yet." Lin Mei shook her head. "Let's wait until autumn, when the beastmen come to the Huoyun Empire for the harvest festival, it won't be too late to make our move then."

  By then, the Fire Cloud Empire's war preparations were more thorough." Adolf was somewhat worried.

  "Can't they be better prepared? Adolph, I've been cultivating you for years, but you still lack vision." A hint of disappointment flashed across Empress Lin's face.

  "I am dull-witted, Your Majesty Empress, please enlighten me." Adolf replied with a humble tone.

  "Our goal in launching this war is just to weaken the Huoyun Empire. With our current military strength, we can't possibly swallow it whole. The more prepared he is, the greater the consumption will be? Our goal has been achieved." Lin Mei sighed softly.

  After more than a decade of palace struggles, she grew up in tears and blood into an extremely cunning politician.

  "A martial artist can only use brute force, politics is a profound art. Adolf, you must learn well."

  "Yes, Your Majesty the Empress. Then when can we take action against the Huoyun Empire?"

  Adolf is not a war maniac, he knows that after several hundred years of tug-of-war, the Asman Empire has also suffered heavy losses. And this queen, no longer satisfied with the status quo, hopes to thoroughly defeat the Huoyun Empire and complete the feat in one battle.

  "What will happen now that the elder brother has died, leaving behind a large fortune, his young son is still immature, and his younger brother is strong and vigorous?"

  Her mouth corners flashed a wisp of strange smile, making her look more charming. After finishing speaking, she sat up, and a tempting spring wave also surged forward on her chest.

  A surge of heat flashed across Adolf's body, and he recalled the passion from a moment ago, his heart becoming unbearably itchy.

  "I still like it after all, even though it will hurt later." He took a deep breath and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that..."

  "Prince Joseph has been waiting. Little did he know, I've also been waiting." Lin Mei smiled, her smile blooming like a peony flower.

  "Then we can rest assured and wait." Adolf suddenly understood.

  "Hmm, but there's something that needs to be taken care of now. Inflame is a thorn in the eye, can't be removed, and it's always painful to deal with. At the same time, he also represents a family with outstanding military achievements, having a huge impact on the Imperial Army. This person must be eliminated."

  Regarding the repeated defeats of the Huoyun Empire army at the hands of Yan Tian, Lin Mei has a deep memory. She also knows the terrible influence that comes with being a spiritual symbol.

  "This thing may be quite difficult." Adolf said.

  "Don't worry about this, I'll send Meiying to take care of it."

  "Shadow" is the trump card in the Queen's hand, everyone has no name only code names. And "Meiying" is the leader of this trump card.

  "It seems the queen is going to send Flame Emperor to his death." Adolf thought to himself.
