The Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty was awakened by the touching and felt a moment of bewilderment in her eyes. But she immediately realized something and looked down...
!
The empress hugged her arms a little tighter to cover the plump breasts that were about to slip out. She looked at Yejingtang and still maintained a calm demeanor:
"You... cough... pour me a glass of water."
Yejingtang felt that Yu Hu's situation was very something is wrong.. He got up and went to the outer room, quietly poured a glass of plain water, and then returned to the bathroom and handed it to Yu Hu.
The empress slightly raised her hand to take it, but she definitely couldn't loosen her arms now.
Seeing this, Yejingtang brought the water cup to her red lips.
Gulu~
The empress's fair throat moved. After drinking half a glass of water, her parched throat felt much better. She glanced at Yejingtang, who wasn't covering his eyes, and showed a bit of displeasure:
"Have you stared enough?"
"Do you think I want to look?"
Yejingtang frowned when he heard that Yu Hu dared to blame him for not knowing how to avoid suspicion:
"Didn't you notice that the Empress Dowager was outside? When I came in just now and saw you lying in the pool without making a sound, I thought you were dead. Your problem is so serious and you still refuse to see a doctor. What if something really happens? What on earth is going on with you?"
The Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty didn't have a major problem anymore, but as her internal injury recovered, the feeling of weakness due to the deficiency of essence and blood also came.
She knew that Yejingtang had a chivalrous spirit and would definitely come back. That's why she covered her vital parts to prevent Yejingtang from seeing her if he came back while she was asleep.
Hearing Yejingtang's complaint, the Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty crossed her arms and calmly explained:
"I'm a bit weak after healing my injury and fell asleep. It's nothing serious. I stopped you just now to remind you that the Empress Dowager would come over at night. I was going to rest and wanted to tell you that you didn't need to come again. I was distracted by your sudden turn and forgot to mention it."
As the empress spoke, she looked outside the sliding door: "Did the Empress Dowager find out that I'm healing my injury here?"
Yejingtang felt that apart from being weak, Yu Hu wasn't in a very dangerous situation and secretly let out a sigh of relief:
"I just came in and bumped into the Empress Dowager head-on. Afraid that something would happen, I directly stunned the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager thought I had ill intentions. You need to help me explain it tomorrow."
The empress let out a sigh of relief. After thinking for a while, a look of helplessness appeared in her eyes:
"The fact that I'm injured can't be known by anyone. Since you know it, you have to help me keep the secret. You sneaked in in the middle of the night and stunned the Empress Dowager. If I don't make a sound to stop you, it means I'm not in the room. If I'm in the room but don't make a sound, the Empress Dowager will definitely start to think too much and might guess that I'm healing my injury here and that the situation is quite serious..."
??
Yejingtang frowned tightly when he heard these words that seemed to deny everything once the "advantage" was gone:
"You mean you'll pretend you weren't present and let me take the blame for sneaking in here and stunning the Empress Dowager? Even if the Empress Dowager doesn't kill me when she wakes up, she'll definitely tell the Prince of Jing about it. If the Prince of Jing knows that I came back and offended the Empress Dowager, no matter how much she likes me, she'll have to chop me down. How am I supposed to take the blame?"
The Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty knew that Yejingtang couldn't bear the blame and said softly:
"I'll explain to the Empress Dowager tomorrow, saying that I called you here and have a top-secret mission to assign, and ask her to keep it a secret. The Empress Dowager will definitely think too much, but she probably won't make things too difficult for you."
Only then did Yejingtang relax. He felt that he couldn't stay here for long and got up and said:
"If you're okay, I'll leave now."
"Wait a moment."
The empress's soft and charming voice of an elder sister rose a bit, revealing a bit of unyielding majesty.
Yejingtang stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and had a serious expression:
"Miss Yu Hu, I'm helping you today. If you didn't act recklessly with the gun, you wouldn't have been injured. If you were willing to see the imperial doctor, I wouldn't have carried you here. If you didn't stop me, I wouldn't have turned back. If you didn't forget to give the reminder, I wouldn't have come in, let alone provoked the Empress Dowager. If you hold a grudge because of this and want me to take responsibility and pay off the debt, I won't admit it."
The Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty found it a bit funny to see Yejingtang explaining himself like a scholarly lady trying to avoid becoming a night concubine when facing a domineering emperor:
"What are you thinking? I've been soaking in the water for too long and feel a bit cold. First, help me get my nightgown."
Yejingtang noticed that Yu Hu's body temperature was very low and didn't say much. He quietly went to the inner room and opened the wardrobe. Inside, there were many sheer nightgowns of different styles. Most of them were red, and there were also a few "sultry" black ones.
Yejingtang took an opaque red nightgown, covered his eyes, and then returned to the bathroom and handed it to Yu Hu:
"Shall I call a palace maid in?"
"No need. If the palace maids find out that I look weak, they'll inevitably be suspicious."
Seeing that Yejingtang had covered his eyes, the Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty loosened her arms that were hugging her breasts. She slowly got up from the bath pool, took the bath towel that Yejingtang handed over, wiped herself, and then put on the red dress.
The red nightgown had a special style. It was a one-piece dress that was just a little below her buttocks and was quite loose.
However, the function of the clothes was still there, and it had good coverage. When she stood up straight, apart from the outline of her body under the fabric, there wasn't much else to see.
After putting on the nightgown, the empress let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief:
"Okay, you don't need to cover your eyes anymore."
Yejingtang took off the blindfold and found that the graceful Yu Hu was wearing the nightgown without anything underneath. He quickly averted his gaze:
"Then I'll leave now. You must explain it clearly to the Empress Dowager."
"Go ahead."
The empress nodded slightly. She supported herself with one hand on the multi-treasure pavilion, found a medicine box, took out a tonic pill, and put it in her red lips.
Then she slowly walked towards the door. After walking just a few steps, the feeling of weakness due to the depletion of her energy came over her. She leaned against the multi-treasure pavilion and raised her hand to gently rub her forehead.
Dong~
Yejingtang originally wanted to leave. Seeing this, he secretly sighed and came over. He supported her back with one hand and passed the other hand through her legs to carry her in his arms horizontally.
The Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty was so weak that she felt dizzy. She closed her eyes and leaned against the man's arms. She unexpectedly found that Yejingtang exuded a warmth from within, which relieved some of the weakness in her body. So she involuntarily leaned a little closer.
The empress was wearing a very loose short dress, which only covered down to her crotch. When she was carried horizontally like this, her waist and hips sank, and her legs were resting on his arm. The dress naturally slid open, and her legs weren't very tightly together.
Yejingtang carried Yu Hu horizontally. At first, he didn't have any special thoughts. But when he slightly lowered his head, he saw the camel toe that wasn't covered by any fabric under the red dress...
As white as snow, a thin line...
?!
Yejingtang's expression became slightly serious. He found that Yu Hu was leaning against his arms with her eyes closed and didn't notice. He secretly let out a sigh of relief, looked straight ahead, and carefully carried her to the imperial bed in the inner room and placed her on the outside.
The Empress Dowager was lying on the inside of the imperial bed. Her stunningly beautiful profile was illuminated by the candlelight. She still looked a bit frightened. Her eyelashes fluttered, and it seemed that she was having some extremely cruel nightmares, and the person causing the trouble was probably him.
Yejingtang felt that his life was in danger when he saw this scene. After putting Yu Hu down, he wanted to pull over the thin blanket. But he saw Yu Hu slightly turn over and press her hand on the Empress Dowager.
Yejingtang was afraid of waking up the Empress Dowager and asked:
"What are you doing again?"
The empress didn't really want to do anything. It was just that when she was leaning against Yejingtang's body just now, she felt especially warm. It was the first time she had discovered that leaning against someone could relieve the cold and weakness inside her.
With the Empress Dowager beside her, she wanted to try by touching. As a result, she found that the Empress Dowager's delicate body was very soft and also quite warm, but it didn't have that special feeling that Yejingtang had.
The empress frowned secretly, released the Empress Dowager, and turned over to face the outside:
"Give me your hand."
Yejingtang didn't understand but squatted down beside her and handed her his hand.
The empress held Yejingtang's hand, felt it carefully for a while, nodded as if deep in thought, and then released it:
"I used a secret technique to recover from my injury, which caused excessive depletion of my internal energy and essence, resulting in coldness and weakness inside my body. You're a man, with strong yang energy and a fiery nature. Standing beside me, I can feel that it can relieve my discomfort. There are only women and eunuchs in the palace. Please bear with it and stay beside me until I fall asleep."
Yejingtang was half-convinced by such a mysterious statement:
"Is the feeling you mentioned a sense of security?"
The Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty blinked her eyes and thought that Yejingtang's explanation was more reasonable than hers.
As an emperor, only she herself could protect herself.
Today, she had witnessed Yejingtang's absolute reliability and extraordinary martial arts skills. The comfort she felt when her body was weak might really have something to do with a sense of security.
No matter what the feeling was, as long as it could make her feel comfortable and fall asleep peacefully now. The empress didn't delve deeper into it. Feeling sleepy, she gently closed her eyes.
Yejingtang squatted beside her and comforted her in a low voice:
"Rest assured. I'll leave later."
The empress leaned against the pillow. It seemed that the medicine was taking effect. Sweat appeared on her forehead, and her body was sometimes cold and sometimes hot. She didn't say anything more, and only her breathing, sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, could be heard.
It was silent in the bedroom. Yejingtang squatted beside the imperial bed. In front of him were two stunningly beautiful noblewomen of the royal family. He couldn't help but feel a bit nervous—mainly because he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would wake up and catch him.
The Empress Dowager was wearing a deep red nightgown and lying properly on the inside. Although her profile was breathtakingly beautiful, she was well-covered. Apart from the high collar of her clothes, there wasn't much else to see.
However, Yu Hu was different. After lying down, the dress covered her again, and her "private parts" couldn't be seen. But she was lying on her side right in front of him and facing him. Her soft breasts were stacked together under the red fabric, pressing out a semi-circular outline on the collar of the nightgown, at the top of the arc...
Yejingtang squatted beside her with a solemn expression, like a saint without desires. He really couldn't look around randomly, so he looked around. As a result, he found that on the dressing table beside him, there was a pair of fish-shaped jade pendants hanging.
The jade pendant was very familiar. It was the one he had helped Yu Hu find when he entered Canyang Pool before, and it was also the time when he saw Benben naked.
Yejingtang's gaze stopped on the jade pendant. He suddenly realized the cause and effect of the incident at Canyang Pool and couldn't help but sigh secretly—Even her own younger sister was tricked. It's really...
After looking at the jade pendant for a few times, Yejingtang noticed the book that the Empress Dowager had dropped beside the pillow. He quietly picked it up and started reading it.
It was obvious that the Empress Dowager liked this book very much. Not only was it neatly kept without any creases, but there were also some delicate and beautifully written poems on some of the pages.
Hua hua~
In the quiet room, there was only the slight sound of turning pages. The empress was lying on her side facing Yejingtang. Because she was really tired, her breathing gradually became steady, and she slowly fell asleep.
I don't know how much time had passed. The candle on the dressing table burned out, and the room was completely dark.
Yejingtang came back to his senses from the gripping plot, closed the book, and saw that Yu Hu's face had mostly recovered and she was sound asleep. He carefully stood up.
The empress sensed something and her eyelashes fluttered but she didn't wake up.
Yejingtang let out a sigh of relief when he saw this. Silently, he pulled up the thin quilt and covered her with it. After looking at the "mother and daughter" (not actually related by blood) for a moment, he quietly disappeared into the night...
