The silver moon shone faintly.

In a corridor deep in the Imperial City, a red-robed woman holding a palace lantern stood quietly and solemnly. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃ𝚘𝚖

Thud!

Drip, drip, drip…

A soft sound came from the end of the corridor, and a handsome guard in a black robe appeared. His robe was drenched, and water droplets were dripping from his sleeves and hair. He looked back as he walked, looking preoccupied and troubled.

The empress took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and walked over. “Young Master Ye, are you alright?”

Ye Jingtang’s mind was filled with thoughts of ’big, big, big’ and whether Heroine Luo would kill him if she found out. He was really a little distracted. Seeing Yuhu, he put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, took the handkerchief to wipe the water on his face, and took out the jade pendant from his sleeve. ‘Tin fine. I found the jade pendant.”

The empress really didn’t expect that Ye Jingtang wouldn’t forget to bring the jade pendant back for her even in such a difficult situation. She raised her hand to take the double fish pendant and blinked. “1 saw people going to the Bright Yang Pool just now. You didn’t bump into anyone, did you?”

“I’m a guard. It’s normal for me to be seen patrolling. Don’t worry. 1 didn’t expose you. Be careful in the future. I’m here today. If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn’t be able to find this jade pendant.”

Didn’t expose me.. The empress didn’t know if she should say that Ye Jingtang was too chivalrous or too foolish. In any case, she felt that she was like an unscrupulous sister-in-law who had deceived her innocent brother-in-law.

She fell silent for a moment and put away the jade pendant. “Thank you, Young Master Ye. 1 don’t even know how to thank you.”

If he hadn’t run into the Prince of Jing, Ye Jingtang might have thought of the Prince of Jing and asked her for a beautiful palace maid to bring home to serve him tea and water.

But now, he really had no intention of chatting with the girl. “It’s nothing. There’s no need to thank me. It’s getting late. Miss Yuhu, hurry back. 1 have to continue patrolling.”

The empress’s lips curled into a smile as she bowed like water. “I’m really sorry to trouble you, Young Master. I’ll repay your kindness in the future.”

Ye Jingtang didn’t think that this beautiful palace maid could repay him anything. He thought that she was just being polite. He nodded slightly in return and turned to leave the corridor. But after walking a distance, he suddenly thought of the red handkerchief in his hand.

Ye Jingtang turned around and wanted to stop Yuhu, but he saw that the palace lantern had already turned the corner of the corridor, and he could only see the afterglow. He hesitated for a moment and decided to forget about it.

The moon came overhead, and there were few people in the palace. This unforgettable night finally fell completely silent.

Ye Jingtang felt that the palace was very strange, so he didn’t dare to run around again. He just paced back and forth under the palace wall, waiting for the night wind to dry his clothes.

Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, he kept thinking about the oppressive feeling the Prince of Jing gave him when she jumped into the water, as well as the indistinct touch of her hair…

This wasn’t because of his lust but because the impact was too great. Any man would have to sleep for a few days to calm down after encountering such a thing. He was obviously not a saint who could turn his head and forget and have his heart be as still as water.

If the Prince of Jing wanted him to take responsibility for this sudden affair, he would definitely not be able to escape.

If Heroine Luo returned and found out that he had become the prince’s consort, she would be so sad…

What should I do… Ye Jingtang was so distraught and confused that he couldn’t even think about the Roaring Dragon Chart. Worried that the Prince of Jing would look for him, he even went to the Great Blessing Palace to take a look. But in the end, other than a silly palace maid waiting obediently with a bird in her arms, there was no trace of the Prince of Jing.

Although he knew that it was unlikely that the Prince of Jing would come again, he still followed the palace maid’s instructions and waited in the courtyard, pondering all kinds of martial arts on his own…

On another side, in the empress’s bedchamber in the Eternal Joy Palace…

After a series of messy experiences, the atmosphere between the empress dowager, the empress, and the Prince of Jing became very strange.

In the middle of the night, the room was very quiet, and only the moonlight and palace lanterns outside the windows brought weak light.

On the large dragon bed, three women with different but very hot figures lay side by side on their pillows. They seemed to be asleep.

After Dongfang Liren went to the Eternal Joy Palace, she had prepared many words to vent her anger on the empress.

But after the empress returned to her bedchamber, she acted as if she didn’t know anything. Dongfang Liren was embarrassed and speechless. Moreover, she was afraid of her sister. In the end, she pretended that nothing had happened.

At this moment, Dongfang Liren was wearing a silver-white nightgown that tightly covered her. She was sleeping on the outside of the bed. Her face was slightly cold, and her back was facing the two of them, with a look that said ‘I am very angry’ and a myriad of emotions.

Seriously… Why do 1 have such a stupid sister…

Ye Jingtang was really a gentleman just now. Under such circumstances, he even knew to turn his head, close his eyes, and not look around…

But him not looking around isn’t the same as not seeing anything…

If Ye Jingtang s lover knew that something like this happened between him and me, she wouldn’t be angry, right…

She will definitely be angry. How can other women be as sensible as me?As long as Ye Jingtang isn’t at fault, 1 won’t punish him…

If Ye Jingtang falls in love with me and is abandoned by the person he loves because of this matter, will he blame me…

1 don’t want to see you. Who asked you to be tricked by my sister…

How could she do such a stupid thing…

The more Dongfang Liren thought about it, the angrier she became. She secretly elbowed the empress under the thin blanket to vent her anger.

The empress had changed back into her translucent red gauze dress. She was no longer as lazy and casual as a noble consort. Instead, she was lying flat in the middle with her hands folded on her abdomen. Her eyes were closed as she focused, ignoring her sister’s tantrum.

On the other side, the empress dowager was lying on the innermost side in a dark red nightgown. From time to time, she would turn over and let her imagination run wild.

If Ye Jingtang finds out that 1 drew his portrait, won’t his imagination run wild…

Even if his imagination doesn’t run wild, for the empress dowager to draw a man’s portrait in her room and be seen by the main character, won’t it be embarrassing to death…

Also, what’s going on with these sisters?

After an unknown period of silence, the empress dowager turned over and glanced at the empress, who was as steady as a mountain, and the Prince of Jing, who was lying on her side. “Why are the two of you sleeping in opposite ways? Didn’t Liren always lie down on her back before?”

Dongfang Liren turned around and saw that the empress was still awake, so she turned away again and said indifferently, “We still have to deal with government affairs tomorrow. Why isn’t Her Majesty resting?”

“If both of you don’t sleep, how can I sleep?”

Seeing that she couldn’t sleep, the empress dowager propped herself up and asked curiously, “Your Majesty, who wrote the poem you received today?”

Dongfang Liren’s ears twitched slightly. She was eavesdropping, but her goal was not interest in the scholar, but…

Find her sister’s partner and set up a trap to take revenge for today!

The empress didn’t open her eyes. She knew what her sister was thinking. She replied calmly, “His surname is Ye, and his name is Jingtang. He’s a young master of a family at Heavenly Water Bridge. He has a good character and extraordinary ability. He can be of great use.”

As soon as these words came out, the bedchamber fell silent.

The empress dowager’s curious expression stiffened, and a strange look appeared in her eyes. She kept looking between the empress and the Prince of Jing. Yo~ Could these sisters have taken a fancy to the same man?

Then, Liren has no chance…

Dongfang Liren turned around in disbelief and looked at the empress. How can he write poetry? Are you deliberately trying to anger me and make me Jealous?

The empress didn’t explain. She turned her back to Dongfang Liren.

Dongfang Liren gritted her teeth and turned around, leaving the empress with the back of her head.

Seeing the sisters in a cold war, the empress dowager felt that something was wrong and tried to smooth things over like a gentle and considerate mother. “Sigh, why are you sisters still fighting? Let’s talk nicely…”

Although her words were gentle, her eyes were sparkling with the flames of gossip…
