Seeing Zuan enter, the Queen smiled and beckoned to him: "Come on, help me lift my leg."

Zuan looked strange and came to her side. Under her guidance, he lifted one of her legs up until she was standing on one leg with the other leg pointing straight toward the roof. She stood in a split, and then slowly opened her arms, forming a cross shape. From the side, it was even hard to tell which was her hand and which was her leg.

Zuan was somewhat surprised by her flexibility, but the Queen suddenly sighed, "Alas, I'm getting old. Back then, I didn't need anyone's help at all."

“Your Majesty is injured, and your meridians have been somewhat blocked over the years, so it’s normal for you to have regressed a little. However, it’s clear that you’re recovering very quickly,” Zu’an said. He explained that he had only used a little force when he helped her, and she had managed to achieve the pose on her own.

The empress turned her head and gave him a charming smile: "This is all thanks to your hard work."

Zu An's heart skipped a beat; this woman was truly a vixen.

Seeing her visually striking appearance, Zu An barely managed to calm himself down: "Uh, Your Majesty, could you please come down first?"

The Empress shook her head slightly: "My cultivation method is somewhat special, requiring me to maintain this posture. Now that there is finally hope for recovery, I cannot slack off."

Having no other choice, Zu An said, "By the way, I came here to inform Your Majesty that I will be leaving the capital soon."

"Are we going to Purple Mountain?" The Empress was not surprised at all.

Zu'an was taken aback: "Your Majesty already knows?"

The emperor had just told her about this, and she already knew about it so quickly. It seems she had underestimated the empress's power in the palace.

"That's not hard to guess. Zhao Hao doesn't have many capable people around him these days, and no one is more suitable than you." The Empress smiled, but quickly said seriously, "You must be careful on your journey. This matter is definitely not as simple as you imagine."

Zu An was startled: "I hope Your Majesty can give me some guidance."

To everyone's surprise, the Empress smiled without saying a word: "You are about to leave the capital, and it will be a long time before we see each other again. Why not take this opportunity to give me some pointers and help me recover my strength?"

Zuan looked strange, as if he were about to use his beauty to obtain information.

How can I give you guidance?

"Just like now, I'm all ready. This time, I'll try to see if I can successfully circulate my old cultivation technique with your help." There was a hint of allure in the Empress's eyes.

Looking at the women arranged in a cross shape in front of him, Zuan was momentarily dumbfounded.
