In the main hall was a large hot spring pool, where Ye Jingtang had fished out the jade pendant and was ridden on the face by a dragon.

Both of them were stained with a lot of smoke and dust. Dongfang Liren had been preparing to wash up in the pool, and palace maids had already prepared bathing supplies. But Dongfang Liren had gone to the Peaceful Hall, and the palace maids had accompanied her. There didn’t seem to be anyone inside…

Ye Jingtang frowned and felt that something was wrong. He silently put down the medicine, picked up his saber from the side, and walked to the side room that led to the bathing pool.

The side room was a changing room, where nobles in the palace took off their clothes, put on bathrobes, and entered the bathing pool. Dongfang Liren had come out of here earlier.

Ye Jingtang silently walked to the door. He could see bright yellow lights in the bathing room and hear the faint sound of water flowing. There was no suspicious aura.

Ye Jingtang frowned and deliberated for a moment. He pushed the door open a crack and looked in through the crack. What entered his eyes were a few gauze screens embroidered with landscapes.

Behind the screens was a bathing pool filled with white mist. A woman had appeared at some point in time and was leaning against the edge of the bathing pool. Ye Jingtang could see her soft black hair and smooth snow-white shoulders. Farther below was blocked by white jade and couldn’t be seen. In all likelihood, she wasn’t wearing anything…

?!

Ye Jingtang’s expression changed slightly. He quickly retracted his gaze and wanted to leave silently.

Unfortunately, a charming older sister’s voice immediately came from the bathing pool. “Young Master Ye, you don’t want the Prince of Jing to find out about you peeping at a girl taking a bath, do you?”

Ye Jingtang was speechless. He stopped behind the door and replied, “Miss Yuhu, why are you here?”

“I couldn’t sleep because of the commotion outside, so I came to take a bath to calm down. Do you want to take a bath together?”

Take a bath together? Ye Jingtang felt that it wasn’t appropriate to stand here. He looked in the direction where Dumdum had left and said, “Miss Yuhu, do you want to ask about the situation outside?”

“Come in and talk. If the palace maids and eunuchs outside hear you, it won’t be easy for you to explain.”

Feeling helpless, Ye Jingtang took a towel from the side, covered his eyes, and pushed open the door to enter the Bright Yang Pool.

Creak-

The empress of Great Wei was leaning against the edge of the bathing pool. She was actually covered with a towel and wasn’t revealing anything.

Hearing the door open, she turned around and saw that Ye Jingtang was very self-aware. So she pulled the towel away with approval in her eyes, but she pretended to be generous. “It’s fine even if I don’t cover your eyes. I won’t tell the Prince of Jing.”

Ye Jingtang didn’t respond to these fierce words. He walked around the screens to the edge of the bathing pool and sat on a chaise longue to talk about serious matters. “In the afternoon, the Six Gates sent a message that the Imperial Boxing Dojo’s murder case might be Zheng Kun’s doing. The Prince of Jing and 1 immediately rushed to Dragon Creek Alley, but people had already laid an ambush in advance…”

Ye Jingtang recounted the story of what had just happened while the empress listened attentively.

After he finished speaking, the empress nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Are you sure Shi Yanfeng has learned the Golden Scale Picture?”

“The feeling is the same as stabbing Eunuch Cao. The only difference is that I’m not as powerful as Eunuch Cao. When 1 used my spear to stab Eunuch Cao in the chest with all my strength, I only pierced a little bit. But when I stabbed Shi Yanfeng with my saber, it went two inches into his flesh. Putting aside the reason that I’m different from before, there should be the reason that Shi Yanfeng didn’t practice for long enough.”

The empress nodded slightly. “The rumor that Jiang Zhahu has the Golden Scale Picture is indeed true.”

Ye Jingtang thought for a moment and said, “Should I go find Jiang Zhahu and snatch the Golden Scale Picture back?”

The empress did have such a plan, but it wouldn’t work for the next two months. Her body was unstable, and it was safer to have two personal bodyguards with her than one. “The Hong Mountain Gang smuggles salt and iron to Northern Liang all year round, so we have to deal with them. However, the frontier of Liang Province is either the Gobi Desert or mountains. As soon as the Imperial Court makes a move, the Hong Mountain Gang will hide in the mountains or hide outside the pass. They’re even harder to eliminate than the Pacifying Heaven Cult. We have to consider this matter at length. There’s no hurry.”

Ye Jingtang knew that Jiang Zhahu wasn’t easy to deal with, so he didn’t talk much about this topic. Instead, he said, “Then, there’s nothing else to say. Why don’t you take a bath first? 1’11 go to the Black Office to interrogate the prisoners and find out the whole story of what happened today…”

Splash-

Before Ye Jingtang could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of water slowly coming out of the bathing pool in front of him. Not only was there the sound of water droplets sliding down a smooth body, but he could even hear the soft and delicate sound of two big balls swaying slightly with the movements…

?!

Ye Jingtang abruptly stopped talking. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

Pitter-patter…

The empress stood up at the edge of the bathing pool. She was naked from head to toe. Under the candlelight, the impact of her figure was astonishing.

Her bearing was casual without losing the domineering aura of an emperor. She leisurely walked barefoot like a cat past Ye Jingtang, who was blindfolded. She arrived at the long table near the chaise longue and picked up her bright red dress.

Ye Jingtang was less than two feet away. He could touch the empress with a raise of his hand. He could even feel a faint warmth and smell a fragrance. He was stunned for a moment before sitting upright. “Miss Yuhu, please… please respect yourself.”

The empress picked up her cut-out undergarment and moved it to her dazzling fair chest. “You can’t see. What’s the difference between this and being separated by a wall? The last few times, you were calm.. Why are you panicking this time?”
