CHAPTER 354: CHAPTER 156: SLEEPING WITH THE EMPRESS! THE EMPRESS WHO SAVORS THE MARROW! (6K)_3

"Message returned today, it has been discovered that Prefect Tong Zhenhai, Prefectural Governor Di Rui, as well as Deputy Magistrate, Assistant Judge, County Magistrate and more than ten others are involved with the Gu God Sect. They are all under arrest. After an all-night interrogation, we have roughly pinpointed the locations of the Gu God Sect’s western and northern teaching districts..."

Sun Senior Palace Lady answered methodically.

The Empress’s phoenix eyes flickered with coldness, and her tone was icy, "Proliferation is hard to fathom, eradicate evil completely! If we’re going to act, leave no room at all, let Zhong Lihe go along too, and make sure to uproot the Gu God Sect!"

"Yes."

Sun Senior Palace Lady responded.

The Empress raised her hand to rub her shoulder, her moth eyebrows knotted slightly.

After busy work at the desk all day, her whole body was exhausted, especially her neck and shoulders were extremely sore.

Recently, court affairs inside and outside have been complex, besides balancing the two factions, the Jianghu sects have also been unsettled, the paperwork at Zhao Hua Palace has piled up like a mountain... If not for previously taking the Youthful Elixir, which made her body seem "younger," she might not have been able to persevere.

Thinking of this, that handsome face resurfaced in front of her eyes.

Truth be told, although Chen Mo always leaves her in a wreck, his massage technique is indeed very skillful, every time it hits the spot, as if the whole body and mind are relaxed, and the fatigue feeling vanishes into thin air.

"Pah! What nonsense is going through my mind?"

"Such absurd things absolutely cannot happen again!"

The Empress’s face flushed as she secretly spat.

Noticing, Sun Senior Palace Lady asked concernedly, "Your Highness has been busy all day, must be exhausted? How about I give you a massage?"

The Empress shook her head, "No need."

Sun Senior Palace Lady seemed puzzled.

Usually, the Empress let her massage to relieve fatigue every day, but since a while ago, she no longer asked for it...

Sun Senior Palace Lady hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, is it that my technique is unsatisfactory to you..."

"No, it’s quite good, I just want to rest."

"Alright, I will take my leave."

After Sun Senior Palace Lady left, the Empress lay on the Phoenix Couch sideways, her long jade-like legs crossed, pressing out a heart-stopping curve.

Night fell, and all was quiet, silent and deserted, the empty bedroom appeared cold and desolate.

Recalling Chen Mo forcibly embracing her that night at the Yangxin Palace... her enchanting goose-egg face blushed, lightly biting her lip, her thoughts were somewhat scattered.

I wonder which girl the little thief is holding now?

Does he call her baby too?

...

...

The next morning.

Bright sunlight streamed through the window screen into the room, dust danced in the divided beam of light.

Yu Youhan awoke from sleep, slowly opened her eyes, her glaze-like pupils carried a hint of confusion and bewilderment.

"Did I... fall asleep last night?"

At her level, she no longer needs sleep, normally she spends every night in meditation, but it was the first time she slept so soundly...

Wait, where’s that dog-like lackey?

Yu Youhan came to her senses, looked up, and was stunned.

Without the support of Dao Power, the ropes binding Chen Mo had naturally loosened.

She was currently in Chen Mo’s embrace, her fair head resting on his arm, one large hand naturally placed on her waist.

Gazing at that scholarly handsome face, Yu Youhan’s eyes flickered, recalling the absurd events of last night, a hint of blush crept up her fair jade face.

Unknowingly, she’s already sunk deeper, starting from the foot massage, to assisting him with wrestling, and then to later... Now, they’re even sleeping on the same bed!

If this continues, won’t this guy treat her just like he does with other girls?

How could she live like this?

Recalling the tactics Mr. Chen used on Miss You in the "Deep Palace Resentment," Yu Youhan’s heart involuntarily shuddered.

"Absolutely not!"

At this moment, Chen Mo’s lashes fluttered, seeming about to wake up.

She hesitated a moment, feeling somewhat awkward, and simply continued pretending to sleep.

"Hmm?"

An inquisitive sound came to her ear, Chen Mo was evidently startled too.

"Empress, Empress?"

He called out twice.

Yu Youhan ignored it, continuing to pretend to sleep.

Initially waiting for Chen Mo to get up and leave on his own, but instead he still held on without letting go?

Not only that, the hand originally on her waist slowly moved down, climbed onto the round buttocks, then...

He grabbed it!

"This dog-like lackey!"

Yu Youhan resisted the urge to kick him away, waiting to see what absurd act this guy would do while she pretended to sleep!

Suddenly, she sensed something amiss, a torrid breath hitting her face, the two of them were extremely close, even able to clearly sense that heartbeat as fast as a drum!

Yu Youhan’s slender hands unconsciously clenched the sheet.

What does he intend to do?

Could it be that he’s going to...

Just as she felt she couldn’t keep pretending anymore, Chen Mo lifted his head, took a deep breath, and whispered:

"Whew... Almost couldn’t hold back. If the Empress found out, the big head or little head would definitely be lost... But the Empress is really cute when asleep..."

He quietly admired for a while, seemingly appreciating a masterpiece of art.

Until the sound of the palace servant’s movements outside, only then did he withdraw his gaze, slowly extricating his arm, and tiptoed out of the room.

After Chen Mo departed, Yu Youhan opened her eyes, clenched her teeth and snorted coldly, "Hmph, getting bolder, actually daring... It seems I’ve been too lenient with him! Last night was a mistake, next time I’ll definitely teach him a lesson!"

Though saying this, her eyes shone with elusive light, the roots of her ear under her dark hair already crimson.

...

...

Sky Scale Guard, Drill Grounds.

Just as Chen Mo stepped through the entrance, a sweet voice reached his ears, "Yo, isn’t this the Heavenly Element Martial Champion, Qingyun Leaderboard top, the youngest Deputy Thousand Households of Sky Scale Guard, Chen Mo, Mr. Chen..."
