Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the majestic Imperial City, three thousand palace lanterns were swaying in the wind and rain. A pair of hurried footsteps ran through the corridors and quickly arrived at the Eternal Joy Palace in the middle of the Imperial City.

Tread, tread, tread…

Ye Jingtang’s clothes were in tatters, and his long hair was loose and hanging down. As he strode forward, he looked like a handsome mountain king with disheveled clothes and hair, carrying a beautiful young lady in his arms and looking for a place to do bad things.

The empress’s face flushed red. She was still holding the red umbrella in her hand and leaning on the man’s shoulder, her breathing chaotic.

Ever since she ascended the throne, the empress had basically never left the palace. She had announced to the public that she had a top expert who could defeat Eunuch Cao by her side. Before the rebels figured out the details, they wouldn’t dare to enter the palace to cause trouble. Even if they caused trouble, it wouldn’t be her turn as the empress to take care of it personally. Usually, as long as she paid attention to propriety, there had never been any major problems.

But today, in order to show off her unparalleled martial strength in front of the unprecedentedly talented Ye Jingtang, she had accidentally been too pretentious and used too much force. Her body’s reaction was more serious than she had imagined.

However, although the empress felt uncomfortable, her eyes were still calm.

When they quickly returned to Eternal Joy Palace, they could see the palace servants walking around.

Ye Jingtang followed Miss Yuhu’s instructions and didn’t alarm the palace maids walking in the palace. He familiarly walked around the garden and arrived at the Peaceful Hall in front of the Roaring Dragon Pond.

The Peaceful Hall was the empress’s daily residence. It was very large. At night, it was brightly lit, and they could see a few palace maids holding lanterns in the hall.

Ye Jingtang went to the back of the Peaceful Hall, jumped from the lake with a light touch, and entered the bedchamber through the window.

The door of the bedchamber was very spacious. There was a long table facing the lake on the outside, and there were many painting scrolls on it. Beside the wall were zither stands, chess couches, and other things. There were paintings and calligraphy from famous scholars hanging on the wall. In the middle was a piece of calligraphy with the words, ‘There’ll be golden armor spreading all o’er th’ town’.

Although there were no glittering jewels decorating the room, everything from the wood to the porcelain was the most luxurious item in the mortal world, and it was spotless. Standing inside, one could feel the opulence and restrained nobility.

On the inside was a golden cedar partition carved with auspicious beasts. There was a green jade bead curtain hanging down, and behind the bead curtain was a dragon bed. It was the same as Dumdum’s Babu bed. It was the kind that wouldn’t be crowded even with four people sleeping side by side.

This was the first time Ye Jingtang had come to the empress’s bedchamber. He wanted to pass through the bead curtain and carry beauty to the bed.

The empress raised her finger slightly and gestured to the screen. “Go there.”

Ye Jingtang followed the direction and walked to the back of the screen. He saw a sliding door behind it. On the sliding door was a relief of a tiger’s head showing a ferocious expression, seemingly warning visitors not to touch it easily.

The empress lay on Ye Jingtang’s arms and raised her hand to twist the eyes of the tiger head relief. The sliding door moved on its own.

Clatter!

Behind the sliding door was a bathroom, and in the middle was a bathing pool emitting white mist. It was made of white jade and was only about ten feet in diameter.

On both sides were cabinets. On the left were wooden boxes of various sizes, and on the right were various weapons. There were several swords and sabers, two bar maces arranged in a cross, and in the middle was a lance with a dragon pattern decorating it.

In front of the wall opposite the door was a suit of armor on display.

The armor was a suit of dark golden shining armor. The style was similar to the qilin armor of the Imperial City’s imperial guards, but the craftsmanship was obviously better. The scales on the armor skirt were arranged like dragon scales, and there was a beast-faced belt at the waist. There was a qilin on each of the shoulder guards, and the helmet was also a qilin helmet with a visor. It looked fierce and intimidating.

Ye Jingtang didn’t care about the furnishings in the room. He quickly walked to the side of the bathing pool. “Put you in?”

The empress gestured to the cabinet by the wall. “Go get the medicine first.”

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang placed her on the chaise longue by the bathroom. Then he went to the wall and lit the lampstand. Following her instructions, he picked up a white jade porcelain bottle from a wooden box.

After he opened the porcelain bottle, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. It should be something that nourished the body in a medicinal bath. He quickly went to the side of the bathing pool and poured the medicinal liquid in.

Splash-

The empress sat on the soft couch and raised her hand to untie the sash at her waist. After some consideration, she said, “Ye Jingtang, cover your eyes.”

Ye Jingtang put the empty bottle down and turned around. “Shall 1 call a palace maid over?”

“I can’t let anyone know that I have internal injuries. Just cover your eyes.”

Ye Jingtang didn’t say anything else. He tore off his belt from his tattered robe and covered his eyes. Then he stirred the water in the bathing pool a few times to let the medicinal liquid spread as quickly as possible.

When the empress saw this, she silently pulled open the sash of the red dress. The soft red dress slid down from her shoulders, and the bathroom became brighter at this moment.

The empress had a standard pear-shaped figure. Her waist was slender, and her butt was extremely plump and a little wider than her snow-white shoulders. Her chest was also very large, and her size was comparable to Dumdum’s. Her well-rounded figure looked very generous.

The empress was wearing very little. The dress slipped down to reveal a piece of palm-sized fabric. Her upper body was wearing a red gauze undergarment embroidered with a golden dragon. It was triangular in shape and just covered the white balls.

Below was a small underwear with bows on both sides that wrapped around the bulging white jade tiger.

But at this moment, her figure didn’t look very healthy. Her skin was red and dripping with sweat, and white mist was faintly rising from her body.

The empress looked at Ye Jingtang. Seeing that he was seriously preparing the medicinal bath and didn’t deceive the empress by peeping or daydreaming, a hint of approval flashed across her eyes. She put her hands behind her back and wanted to untie her triangular undergarment.

But this action was a little too much for her. With the blood and qi in her body churning, she frowned when her hands reached halfway.

Although Ye Jingtang was blindfolded, he could sense Yuhu’s movements. He immediately stood up. “1’11 help you.”

Then he walked to the side of the chaise longue, reached out to accurately pinch the strings of the undergarment behind her back, and untied the bow.

Whoosh!

The golden fat-headed dragon undergarment fell on her knees.

His proficiency in taking off smallclothes was truly at the pinnacle.

Before the empress could react, she felt a chill in her chest. She subconsciously hugged the big balls that had lost their restraint and then realized that Ye Jingtang had moved his hands to her waist, pinched the bow on one side, and pulled gently.

The small piece of fabric slipped off without restraint, and the plump white jade tiger immediately appeared under the candlelight.

?!

Even though the empress was about to lose control of the qi and blood in her body, her eyes still widened slightly as she said in disbelief, “Ye Jingtang, why are you so skilled?!”

Ye Jingtang didn’t touch her skin from beginning to end. He quickly untied the bow on the other side. “The Heaven Equaling Saber can observe the most subtle changes in the environment. When you move, the fabric will make a sound when it rubs against your skin, and the ties will also drive the airflow. I can sense what kind of clothes you’re wearing.”

The empress felt that it was one thing to feel them, but it was another to know how to take them off. Practice made perfect. She didn’t believe that he hadn’t taken off these kinds of smallclothes many times in the past. Could it be that Liren had worn them for him before…

But she wasn’t in the mood to talk about this at this moment. The empress gently propped herself up. Just as her butt left the chaise longue, she sat back down and frowned to suppress the churning qi and blood in her body. “Carry me into the pool. Don’t touch me with your hands.”

Ye Jingtang felt that the Yuhu was about to explode, so he wasn’t in the mood to take advantage of her. He held her back with one arm and used the other arm to support the smooth Yuhu under the crook of her legs. He deliberately stretched out his arms to keep a distance so that his body wouldn’t touch places he shouldn’t touch.

The empress lay in the crooks of his arms. Her butt was as fair as a peeled egg, and it drew an astonishing arc under the candlelight.

Seeing how well-behaved Ye Jingtang was, the empress forced a smile. “Be careful when you lower me.”

Although Ye Jingtang was blindfolded, he could still remember the bathroom completely. He walked to the side of the bathing pool, squatted down, and carefully lowered the beauty into the warm pool water.

Splash!

“Your situation isn’t right. Are you sure you don’t want to call Imperial Physician Wang over to take a look?” Ye Jingtang asked.

The empress soaked in warm water, and her expression relaxed a little. “No need. You can leave.”

Squatting at the edge of the bathing pool, Ye Jingtang could feel the faint heat coming from Yuhu’s body.

If he didn’t call for a palace maid or an imperial physician, how could he be at ease with Yuhu, whose condition was unknown, soaking in the pool alone to treat her injuries? He immediately stood up and turned his back to the pool. “i won’t speak. Take good care of your body. If you need anything, just say it. Don’t force yourself.”

Seeing that Ye Jingtang wasn’t going out, the empress didn’t say much. After all, it was safer to have someone watching over her. She closed her eyes and began to recuperate.

But she was taking a bath here with a man standing beside her. Although his eyes were blindfolded and his back was facing her, it was still a little…

Forget it. i’ll just treat it as a beautiful concubine serving me…

The empress opened her eyes, looked at Ye Jingtang’s back, and closed her eyes again. While recuperating, she was pondering in her heart.

She planned to let Ye Jingtang, who was the most talented in the world, be her secret envoy to help her search for the lost Roaring Dragon Chart pictures in the world.

But as an emperor, how could she be so stupid that she would have the thought, ’Because I’m the emperor, you have to help me do things for free for no reason’.

Even the officials had to be paid, and the hearts of the people had to be carefully managed. Only after the officials were confirmed to have absolute loyalty would they be given the rights corresponding to their loyalty and entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

This was a top-secret mission that concerned the life and death of the emperor. Before she completely made Ye Jingtang have his heart set on her, talking nonsense would just stimulate him. If he found out and went to Northern Liang to exchange the information for a princely title, Great Wei would immediately fall into chaos…

How can i make him loyal to me?

He doesn’t seem to be interested in authority, power, fame, and fortune. He’s just lascivious…

But he can remain as still as a mountain under these circumstances. He really doesn’t look like a lascivious man. Isn’t he unassailable…

The empress felt that she had sharp eyes. It was impossible for Ye Jingtang not to be attracted to her beauty.

She thought for a moment, raised her hand slightly, and splashed water between the white balls.

Splash-

The water flowed down, leaving a shiny surface, and small waves rippled.

The empress paid close attention to the man’s subtle reactions. In the end, she found that the ears of Ye Jingtang, who was standing blindfolded by the bathing pool, twitched. Then he turned his head and revealed his side profile with some displeasure. “Recuperate well, and don’t mess around.”

His tone was quite fierce.

?

The empress paused and narrowed her eyes. “Young Master Ye, if you don’t know how to appreciate favors, you will suffer when you do things in the capital in the future.”

“If you recover, i’ll leave. If you haven’t, treat your injury seriously.”

The empress felt that this youngster wasn’t her brother-in-law but her concubine. If she continued, she would definitely play herself into the cold palace for three days.. She didn’t say anything and started treating her injury seriously…
