Whoosh!

The small bathroom was full of mist, and the water in the pool had been dyed milky white by Snow Lake Powder.

The empress of Great Wei was lying in the water with her back against the white jade stone. Her hands were not covering herself. Although she was naked, the water in the pool was opaque. Only the top of two hemispheres could be seen floating on the water. And on the floor at the edge of the pool, there was a red dress and smallclothes.

Ye Jingtang closed the sliding door and walked to the edge of the bathing pool with ease. When he realized that his foot had touched something, he squatted down and picked up the red dress. ‘Are you seriously injured?”

“It’s an old injury. It’s always like this when the weather turns cold. It’s neither serious nor light.” The empress stirred up the water and sprinkled it between the bottomless white ravine. “I heard that Sun Wuji came to the capital. You even learned swordsmanship from him?”

“That’s right. I found the Sudden Inspiration Sword in Wu Province and sent it back. As a result, Old Sword Saint Sun directly came to teach me swordsmanship. He didn’t even let me speak… Do you want to learn it?”

“I have plenty of ways to learn what 1 want. I don’t need you to teach me…”

At this point, the empress stopped speaking.

Ye Jingtang suddenly stopped. He was holding the folded dress in his left hand and pinching a small triangular piece of cloth on the floor with his right hand. His expression changed slightly.

He hadn’t scanned the room before entering, and the clothes wouldn’t move on their own. He clearly knew what was on the floor. Now that he was holding it in his hand, the familiar touch and shape made him understand that he had accidentally taken the natural flavor of Yuhu. It didn’t seem appropriate to throw it away directly, but it was obviously wrong to put the clothes away and pretend that he didn’t recognize what it was…

Not only did the empress see Ye Jingtang take her underwear, but she even saw that he couldn’t bear to part with it. She frowned slightly. “Just put them aside. You don’t have to help me clean up.”

Ye Jingtang acted like nothing had happened. He placed the dress and even the triangular piece of cloth on a chaise longue and asked, “How long is Her Majesty going to recuperate at Clear Water Villa?”

“It depends. It can take as short as ten days or as long as two months.” The empress raised her hand, picked up the remaining upper undergarment, and placed it on the other side. “You have to patrol Clear Water Villa in shifts these days. Last time, 1 promised you that 1 would give the people around you a chance to learn the Jade Bone Picture. They’ve just seen it once. I’m afraid we’ll be staying at Clear Water Villa for a long time. If you want them to learn it sooner, you can let them stay in the palace these days. Anyway, Her Majesty won’t be here these days, and there’s food and drink in the palace. It’ll save you from working outside and worrying about your family all day.”

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he was rather surprised. He had run into the small bathroom, wanting to use this opportunity to ask if he could bring Ning’er and Third Lady into the palace to learn the Jade Bone Picture when there was no one in the Eternal Joy Palace. He didn’t expect Yuhu to speak first. “The Imperial City is an important place. Without Her Majesty around, will it be a problem for them to stay in Her Majesty’s resting palace?”

The empress shrugged casually. “The place where Her Majesty is is the palace of the Imperial City. Where Her Majesty is not, no matter how big it is, it’s just a house. If you come here every day to take a look, it can be considered as protecting the Imperial City from both sides. However, I still have to remind you that the Roaring Dragon Chart is an important national treasure. It has to be passed down to future generations. Her Majesty can’t deal with it at will. Now that I’ve handed it to you and allowed you to teach the people around you, if something goes wrong and the Roaring Dragon Chart is lost, your crime will not be small. You will really lose your head.

Ye Jingtang chuckled. “I naturally know the importance. I’ll take turns guarding with Daoist Xuanji every day. I’ll just check when I return to the Imperial City. 1’11 let them study the Jade Bone Picture at the Roaring Dragon Pond for the next few days. When they learn it, I’ll get them to leave the palace.”

The empress nodded and wanted to chat some more. But after she thought about it carefully, there didn’t seem to be any official topic. She sat up a little higher, letting two balls of white softness surface. The red spots were faintly discernible. She joked, “They’re still packing up outside. It’ll take a while before we set off. Why don’t you come down and rub my back?”

??

Ye Jingtang saw that Yuhu was acting up again. With the experience of dealing with her in the past, he took advantage of the situation and said, “Alright.”

Then he pretended to untie his belt and prepared to enter the pool.

?

The empress tilted her head slightly. Seeing that Ye Jingtang had become thick-skinned, she wasn’t flustered. After all, she knew that he was trying to scare her.

She moved to the side to make room and half-leaned against the edge of the bathing pool to wait. She didn’t feel anxious at all. Seeing that Ye Jingtang’s movements had slowed down after taking off his outer robe, she even teased, “You’re not taking your clothes off? Why don’t you dare to take them off?”

Ye Jingtang really didn’t believe that Little Tiger Girl could stare at him until he finished taking off his clothes. After some thought, he crossed his hands to his left and right, preparing to take off the silver soft armor to try.

In the end, he was right. No matter how fierce Little Tiger Giri’s words were, she was still a woman in the end. How could she not be timid about something like giving herself for nothing?

But what he didn’t expect was that Yuhu didn’t have any intention of admitting defeat. Instead, just as he pulled up the soft armor with both hands and covered his head, he suddenly pressed his arm on the white jade ball on his left. Violent coughing sounded. “Cough, cough, cough!”

The sound of coughing was quite loud. Immediately, there was movement in the study on the east side of the palace, followed by the sound of running over.

Tread, tread, tread…

“You!”

Ye Jingtang was caught off guard and suddenly pulled down his soft armor. He wanted to rush out of the door, but because he pulled down too hard, he brought the black scarf tied around his eyes to his nose, and his vision immediately recovered.

Then the scene that fell into his eyes was the small bathroom surrounded by white mist and the beautiful trembling flower in the pool.

Since the empress was coughing hard, it was definitely difficult for her to lean against the bathing pool. At this moment, she was sitting in the bathing pool. The water didn’t reach her ribs, and her right hand was covering the watermelon on her left. Ye Jingtang could clearly see her fair fingers sinking into the softness.

The right side was shaking vigorously due to no restraint and coughing. A trace of bright red flashed, leaving behind an afterimage. But with a Martial Chief’s eyesight, Ye Jingtang could see it very clearly.

The bathroom instantly fell silent.

The empress immediately stopped coughing. She raised her left hand to cover the other side and turned into a posture of her hands crossed in front of her body. Her face immediately turned a little red.

This was the first time Ye Jingtang was not nervous at all when he accidentally took advantage of Yuhu. Instead, he felt quite good. The meaning in his eyes was probably: You suffered a loss, right? Who asked you to tease me?

Because footsteps were running this way and had passed through the main hall and arrived at the door, Ye Jingtang didn’t have time to wait for Yuhu’s reaction. He picked up his robe, turned around, and ran out.. In an instant, he opened the door, rushed out of the bedchamber, and jumped out of the window…
