Chapter 712 - 269 Bad News: The Empress and Empress started fighting! Good News: The person who took action is Chen Mo...
"Inspection?"
Chen Mo looked at the Empress, her eyes glazed, and whispered, "Your Highness, you’re drunk..."
"Nonsense, I feel perfectly fine now!"
The Empress’s cheeks blushed, as if painted with high-quality rouge, her lips pouted, coyly saying, "I never get drunk after a thousand cups, remain calm after ten goblets, this little bit of wine doesn’t affect me at all!"
"..."
"Why is your head always shaking?"
"...It’s Your Highness who’s shaking."
Chen Mo rubbed his brow.
It seems she really got a bit tipsy.
Having personally experienced the power of the Immortal Burning Wine, he barely resisted it himself, and for the Empress to hold out thus far is quite impressive.
Moreover, the alcohol is absorbed, and it can’t be expelled even using True Yuan, she’ll just have to sober up naturally...
The Empress leaned closer, her almond eyes fixating on him, their noses almost touching, he could feel her warm breath.
"Are you nervous? Did something happen between you and Chu Yanli?"
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The Princess was only interested in the Dragon Qi within me, Your Highness misunderstood..."
The Empress pursued, "Then why can’t an inspection be done?"
"This..."
Chen Mo hesitated slightly.
The two were already very intimate, so there was no need for pretension, but what he truly worried about was Her Majesty the Consort...
Everything had been seen by her earlier, should she suddenly burst in and trap them in bed, it would indeed be a chaotic scene fit for Asura!
"Little thief, you’ve changed, you weren’t like this before..."
The Empress’s eyes misted, looking as if she was about to cry.
Clearly, as the commanding Eastern Palace Empress, she now seemed like a child robbed of her beloved toy.
Chen Mo’s lips twitched, it seemed that if he didn’t comply tonight, it wouldn’t end well... He hesitated for a moment and relented, saying, "Alright then, please make it quick with your inspection, I need to feed the cat later."
"Good!"
The Empress instantly changed her demeanor, her smile radiant.
Her body slithered like a snake, delving down through the thin garment, feeling that gentle touch clearly.
A cool sensation passed, the air quiet for a moment, followed by the Empress’s soft murmuring: "It’s been a while, still as fierce..."
"..."
Chen Mo raised his eyes, looking out the window.
The night unfolded, moonlight washing over, deeper still in the palace chambers.
"With Her Majesty’s personality, she definitely can’t sit still, at any moment she might visit, I’ll have to keep a close watch..."
...
...
Yu Youhan’s mood was indeed quite bad at the moment.
The reason she entered the palace in a cat lady form was originally to protect Chen Mo’s safety.
After all, Chen Mo possessed Dragon Qi, extremely significant to the Great Yuan Imperial Family, knowing this, Chu Yanli might have some improper thoughts...
But the way the events unfolded was far beyond her expectations.
First was Chu Yanli’s attitude.
A stark contrast to her usual domineering demeanor, she even organized a candlelight dinner.
And a Southern Border Commander, instead of discussing strategy, she talked poetry? Do you even have literary prowess?
Furthermore, she could see from Chu Yanli’s eyes, besides admiration for Chen Mo, there was a hint of unclear complex emotions...
In general, it was very odd!
Ultimately, she even pinned Chen Mo down, revealing her true intentions, no longer pretending at all!
Although midway the Empress "intercepted" her, not allowing success, but was then taken to Yangxin Palace...
"In terms of shamelessness, Jiang Yuchan isn’t much different from Chu Yanli!"
"In the deep of night, a single man and woman alone in a room, who knows what might happen!"
"No, I can’t just sit and do nothing!"
Yu Youhan withdrew her Divine Sense and leapt up resolutely.
"Your Highness, the water is hot, ready for bathing." Xu Qingyi just arrived at the door, seeing Yu Youhan striding forward, holding a bewildered black cat.
"Your Highness, where are you headed?" Xu Qingyi asked in confusion.
The purple iris skirt swayed, leaving behind a cold voice: "To snatch someone!"
Xu Qingyi: ?
Yu Youhan’s figure merged into the night, traversing through the palace chambers.
By now it was the second watch, all palace attendants dismissed by Sun Senior Palace Lady, the surroundings empty and silent.
She arrived deep within the Inner Court, looking towards the massive palace dormant in the darkness, surrounded by vermilion walls.
"No lights..."
"What exactly are these two doing?"
Yu Youhan’s brows furrowed slightly, a hint of unease arising in her heart.
She dashed to the palace gates, just about to barge in and catch them off-guard when suddenly, heat spread from her left wrist.
"..."
Again?
Always during critical times...
She had every reason to suspect this troublesome rope did it on purpose!
Yu Youhan had no time for further thought, relying on her previous experiences, she immediately prepared to escape through the air to avoid being seen by anyone.
Yet the speed of the red ribbon was clearly faster, her body just rose, then was tightly bound and with a "thud" she fell to the ground.
"Meow?"
The cat in her arms lightly landed, looking at her curiously.
Moments ago exuding a terrifying pressure, how did this standing ape suddenly get wrapped like a rice dumpling?
It extended its paw to poke at her, without any reaction, seeing her face pale, it looked like the fall was too harsh, she hadn’t recovered yet.
"Meowwoo..."
The cat tilted its head, pondering for a moment, then turned towards the dark palace, striding lightly as it jumped over.
...
...
Yangxin Palace.
The situation was nearing a fever pitch.
Her Majesty the Empress, who usually was as fragile as paper, seemed like a different person under the influence of alcohol, weaving a mix of coquettishness and obsession.
