Chapter 384: Inside and Outside the Palace (4)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pei Xiangjun covered her chest with one hand and blushed. After glancing at Ye Jingtang a few times, she knelt on the bed and slowly assumed a ‘cat stretching’ posture…

Under the dim yellow light, the curves of her fair body were undoubtedly revealed. The full moon was close at hand, and every detail was visible. The impact was astonishing.

Ye Jingtang wanted to maintain his cold and stern expression, but he had overestimated his composure. He immediately lost his breath and coughed.

Pei Xiangjun paused and tilted her head in concern. “What’s wrong? Did your injuries relapse?”

“No. Please continue.”

Pei Xiangjun felt that she might have been too enthusiastic. Ye Jingtang had been holding it in for a long time. They could study this kind of flower work after he recuperated. After thinking about it, she sat up, pressed Ye Jingtang down, and got on top.

“It’s okay. I’m not in a hurry. Woo…”

Their lips met.

Ye Jingtang lay on the pillow and raised his hands slightly. After thinking about it, he helped pull out the bird and flowers hairpin on Third Lady’s head and placed it beside the pillow. Then he turned over and took the initiative…

Meanwhile, in the Imperial City…

After Dongfang Liren entered the city and handed over all kinds of miscellaneous matters, it was already late at night. She returned to the Prince of Jing Estate to rest. She would go to the morning court assembly tomorrow to see the empress.

The empress dowager would turn into a canary again when she returned to the palace. With the mentality that staying an hour longer was an hour gained, she didn’t return to the palace. Instead, she stayed at Jasper Pavilion and studied the tunnel that led from the Prince of Jing Estate to the Longevity Palace.

After Daoist Xuanji returned to the capital, she wasn’t idle. The moment she finished all her trivial matters, she entered the Imperial City alone and went to the Eternal Joy Palace.

On the cool autumn night, the Eternal Joy Palace was brightly lit. Countless palace maids in colorful clothes were walking through the corridors and pavilions.

In the Peaceful Hall, steam rose from the small bathing pool in the empress’s bedchamber.

The empress of Great Wei was lying in the pool made of white jade, with her hands on the edge of the pool. Behind her was a shimmering dark golden armor. Her posture looked extraordinarily domineering, but there was a hint of fatigue on her charming face.

Crack, crack..

The mechanism on the tiger-headed sliding door was turned, and then the door parted left and right. Daoist Xuanji in a white dress appeared at the door.

The empress opened her eyes and said in a friendly tone, “Master, where is Liren?”

“At her estate. She won’t come until tomorrow morning.”

Daoist Xuanji closed the door. Without any awareness of being a subject, she untied her white dress, revealing her proud figure that was as smooth as jade. She tested the water temperature with her bare foot before jumping in.

Plop!

The empress was used to this. She moved to the side and let Daoist Xuanji lean in front of her. “Still haven’t found the whereabouts of the Roaring Dragon Chart?”

Daoist Xuanji leaned forward and raised her hands to weigh the broad heart of the empress of Great Wei. “There are many clues. Currently, the most likely one is the one in Jiang Zhahu’s hand. But Jiang Zhahu understands the principle that possessing treasure is a sin. There are countless experts in the north and south dynasties looking for him. He hides very well. When he shows his face, he goes and comes back quickly. He never stays in one place for more than a day.

“From last year to this year, I searched for half a year, but 1 couldn’t find Jiang Zhahu. Instead, 1 encountered the Northern Liang Thief Sage, who had the same plan as me. 1 chased after the Thief Sage for half a year, but I found nothing…”

The empress knew the difficulty of collecting the Roaring Dragon Chart. “This kind of thing can’t be rushed. Ye Jingtang found a substitute for the Snow Lake Flower in Wu Province. Although it can’t compare to the original Snow Lake Flower, it can at least help me last for a while…”

When Daoist Xuanji heard Ye Jingtang’s name, she couldn’t help recalling the incidents where she had rubbed against him and he had poked her. Both of them were innocent and didn’t have a guilty conscience, but it still affected their mental states.

Daoist Xuanji scooped up some water and poured it on her chest. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ye Jingtang’s talent is unprecedented, and his character is extraordinary. He looks like he can be put to great use.”

When the empress heard her master praise him, she was quite satisfied. “Ye Jingtang is full of chivalry. Power, money, fame, and sex aren’t effective against him. He’s indeed a rare talent. I want him to search for the Roaring Dragon Chart on my behalf, but 1 can’t tell others about my health. There’s no reason for me to ask…”

?

Daoist Xuanji felt that Ye Jingtang was still lustful, but it was clearly not appropriate for her to say this in front of the empress. If she said it, she wouldn’t be able to explain things clearly. She thought for a moment and continued, “I’ve interacted with Ye Jingtang a few times in Wu Province. Our relationship isn’t bad. I told him that my foundation isn’t good and that I need his help to find the Roaring Dragon Chart. He agreed and will probably think of a way, but I’m afraid it will take a few years.”

The empress blinked and acutely captured the issue. “Looking for the Roaring Dragon Chart is not a small matter. Ye Jingtang agreed to help you search for the Roaring Dragon Chart just because your foundation isn’t good? From the sound of it, his relationship with you…”

Daoist Xuanji didn’t have any stage fright. She even made a smug expression. “Ye Jingtang became the Saber Chief all thanks to my guidance. Is this favor enough?”

The empress immediately nodded in understanding. She didn’t let her imagination run wild and asked, “How is Liren’s relationship with Ye Jingtang going?”

“Liren is thin-skinned. Even now, she’s still saying that Ye Jingtang is a subordinate. The empress dowager and I were present, so she stayed far away and put on the airs of a prince. What else could she do?”ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

The empress knew this would happen.. She sighed silently and didn’t ask further…
