Dragon's Origin

Chapter 422: Sleepless (Part 1)

On this night, there were definitely many people who couldn't sleep. However, among those who couldn't sleep, Wang Sheng was certainly not one of them.

After carefully delivering the Empress to the Marquis's residence and dealing with the old court eunuch in the inner city of the Imperial City, Wang Sheng disappeared silently. Once again, without anyone noticing, he returned to his own manor.

Whether entering or leaving the Imperial City, the Imperial City's Royal Guards on night duty and the patrol experts secretly arranged by the Second Prince never saw Wang Sheng's shadow. It was as if Wang Sheng had fallen from the sky and then flown away.

In the pond of Wang's mansion, a head suddenly emerged from the water. Even though the beautiful guards were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but be startled. They were relieved when they saw it was Wang Sheng.

Several beautiful guards had already prepared dry towels. When Wang Sheng came out of the pond, the women didn't say a word but quickly stepped forward to help the Marquis dry off with the towels, and then urged Wang Sheng back to his bedroom. After that, all traces of Wang Sheng's landing were immediately cleaned up.

Everything was completed in the darkness, using the faint light from a distance, silently, without alarming anyone outside the manor.

In the bedroom, the beauties who were waiting to serve Wang Sheng still maintained the state they were in when Wang Sheng left. When they saw Wang Sheng quietly enter, the women all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Wang Sheng plunged into the warm quilt and comfortably fell into a dream under the warmth of the two beauties' body temperatures.

The Emperor was very tired, but he could only rely on the palace tonics to support himself. Unless he eliminated the Second Prince and the forces of several ancestral uncles from the Clan Court in one fell swoop, the Emperor would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

The contingency plans from the past few months were finally coming into play. These days, any adjustments that didn't align with the plan were immediately flagged as problematic and investigated. It was estimated that those people knew the situation was hopeless, and not many resisted, obediently surrendering. Occasionally, there were a few who resisted, but their endings were tragic, being killed on the spot, their families exterminated without mercy.

The Emperor's efficiency was high. By dawn, he had basically controlled ninety percent of the rebellious officials. By the time morning came, except for one or two who had sensed something was wrong and fled quickly, the rest had all been imprisoned, awaiting interrogation.

With this, the largest faction in the court that was at odds with the Emperor was swept away by the Emperor. Taking this opportunity, several guys who used to grumble within the royal family were also charged with being accomplices and thrown into prison. Among them, there were some smart people who immediately bowed their heads to the Emperor and ran to the Emperor's side to kowtow and apologize as soon as they heard the news and realized something was wrong, thus avoiding the misfortune of being purged.

When Wang Sheng woke up with the beauties in his arms in the morning, the Emperor was still staying up with bloodshot eyes, arranging the defenses of the capital. Through the Second Prince's rebellion, the Emperor discovered major loopholes in the defenses of the Imperial City and quickly moved to fix them.

Not long after Wang Sheng got up, Mei'er ran over from the Marquis's residence. Aunt Su had already been taken back by Uncle Su, who had sent Steward Zhou to pick her up. Before leaving, Aunt Su also said that she wanted to thank Wang Sheng and that she and Uncle Su would host a banquet at home to entertain Wang Sheng and Mei'er next time.

To be honest, Mei'er was also startled when Wang Sheng suddenly appeared and sent the Empress to the Marquis's residence last night. But she was very sensible and didn't ask too much, just stayed with the Empress overnight. Even now, Mei'er doesn't actually know what happened, because the Empress told her to stay in the Marquis's residence for the next day or two and not run around. Runzi Workshop and Gansheng Yuan would be taken care of by their respective shopkeepers.

The capital was filled with a tense atmosphere of impending conflict, but in Wang Sheng's manor, it was a different scene. Mei'er clung to Wang Sheng, demanding that Wang Sheng fulfill a certain promise and design fitness clothes for them.

With so many sports brands on Earth, was this even a problem for Wang Sheng? The swimming pool in Wang's manor had already taken shape these days, using the same materials as the Marquis's residence, but even more advanced, as this one was temperature-controlled. Since this was the case, Wang Sheng simply moved all the fitness equipment that he had previously asked Tie Lao(铁老: Old Tie) and others to build over, and also asked Tie Lao's(铁老: Old Tie) apprentices to build a few more sets to send over.

After all, there were hundreds of beauties here. Even if they took turns using one set of equipment, it wouldn't be enough for so many people, so it was better to build more. Wang's manor specifically opened up a large courtyard, enough for one or two hundred people to exercise together.

Clothes were easy to handle. Linglong Workshop had invited three female grandmasters with their apprentices, plus the beauties in Wang's manor who were skilled in needlework, which was enough. Two female grandmasters were tailors, and one was a leatherworker who made shoes, so this basically covered the most basic needs.

The women's dresses in this world were not suitable for fitness, but the camouflage protective suit was definitely feasible. However, that was suitable for men. How boring would it be for so many delicate beauties to wear camouflage suits for fitness? Even for the sake of eye candy, Wang Sheng had to bring out all the sportswear styles in his mind.

So, under Wang Sheng's description, the two female grandmasters first determined sweat-absorbent, breathable, and elastic fabrics according to Wang Sheng's requirements. Of course, shoes would not be left out either. The female grandmaster who made leather also first selected the material for the soles, and even considered the principle of air cushions that Wang Sheng mentioned, to ponder whether it was possible to realize.

Two beauties who were very skilled in painting were selected from among the women. According to Wang Sheng's description, they first drew a set of crop tops and capri pants that were very popular on Earth, along with a pair of well-fitting pure white sneakers, of course, not without sports socks, based on Mei'er's figure.

As soon as the drawing came out, the women blushed. This was really too revealing, wasn't it? But this was designed by the Marquis, and everyone secretly looked forward to when they could wear it to show the Marquis.

This was just one style. Facing the women and several grandmasters, Wang Sheng told them the many sportswear styles that he remembered. The two painting beauties kept recording, and then the women looked at those matching combinations, blushing, surprised, and anticipating.

Just as Wang Sheng, Mei'er, and the women were enjoying a new concept of sportswear, the Emperor in the Imperial City was still staying up with red eyes.

The rebellious party had basically been taken down, and the loopholes in the Imperial City were also being filled little by little under the advice of several strategists. The Empress had also returned safely. In theory, the Emperor should have been able to rest easy. However, even now, the Emperor was still unable to sleep.

Not only could the Emperor not sleep, but even the three chief eunuchs couldn't sleep. After the overall situation was settled, the old eunuch Shen(沈老太监: Old Eunuch Shen) and Steward Zhou personally led people to start searching for the traces left by Wang Sheng. The focus was on discovering how Wang Sheng had entered the inner city of the Imperial City silently.
