Murong shook his head, "That won't do. If I'm leaving, I'll take you with me!"

Xiao Tang rolled her eyes.

I don't know why this child is so stubborn.

"What?" Di Youming cried out in a childish voice, "Are you looking for death?"

He shouted loudly, which startled Murong Ze.

Murong seemed to only then notice the child's presence.

He frowned.

Just as he was about to speak, the child suddenly stretched out his little arms toward Xiao Tang, "Mommy, hug me!"

Xiao Tang's eyebrows twitched violently upon hearing this.

She suddenly admired the kid's ability to improvise; not bad!

Murong stammered, repeating, "Mother...Mother? What?!?"

He doesn't believe it!

How could Xiao Tang possibly give birth to such a big son?

You know, his daughter Xiaotang is only 16 years old this year, how could she possibly give birth to a five-year-old child?

Xiao Tang approached the child with a twitch of her lips.

Pick him up.

"Little Youyou, that's not right. How can you shout like that? You scared this guest."

"What guest? He's trying to kidnap you and separate you from your father! He's a bad guy!" the child said firmly, staring at Murong Ze as if he were looking at a super villain.

If Xiao Tang didn't know what this kid was like on a normal day, she would have been fooled by this little brat.

Murong opened his mouth, about to speak, when suddenly someone picked him up and dragged him out of the pharmacy.

His hands and feet were tied behind his back, and he was instantly subdued.

It was Yan Jiu who suppressed him.

“Young Master Murong, we have evidence that you have been eavesdropping on our Great Sheng’s secrets.”

"What?" Murong Ze had barely uttered a word when he was taken away.

Undeterred, he called out towards Xiao Tang's pharmacy, "Xiao Tang, wait for me, I'm coming to find you!"

Xiao Tang sighed, rubbing her forehead.

How low does one's emotional intelligence have to be to say something like that?

She was speechless.

"Ninth Imperial Uncle!" Di Youming jumped up from the chair, but because his legs were weak, he fell to the ground.

Di Jingling reached out and picked him up in time, preventing him from falling face-first to the ground.

He looked at Xiao Tang.

His expression was displeased.

Xiao Tang blinked, looking completely bewildered: [What's wrong with me? Why are you looking at me so fiercely? I didn't cheat on you.]

"Come back to the palace with me."

His tone was soft and low.

Xiao Tang curled her lips slightly and immediately followed.

Sensing that the villain was in a bad mood, she knew how to read people's expressions. This terrifying villain was surrounded by a low-pressure atmosphere, so she decided to remain silent.

Back at the mansion.

Emperor Youming also realized that something was wrong, and without thinking, he ordered his guards to carry him back to the backyard.

Only Xiao Tang...

I feel very lost.

The bedroom door was closed.

She was then ordered: "Come here and help me change my clothes and bathe."

Xiao Tang: ? ? ?

Why don't you just have a maidservant serve you here?

My gaze shifted from the man's slightly tired, handsome face. His magnificent black robe was wrinkled today, and he'd been wearing it since the day he entered the palace... ???

This man, who is so obsessed with cleanliness, actually wore this black shirt for three days without taking a shower.

It was still the middle of summer.

Heh heh.

Xiao Tang smiled slightly.

Even though his expression clearly showed a low mood, she didn't feel anything.

"Husband, the hot water isn't ready yet..."

"Come here." Perhaps it was her overly defensive posture that made Di Jingling gradually lose patience.

Xiao Tang had no choice but to obediently come to him, take off his belt, and tear open his black robe.

I just remembered his wound...

I checked it out.

The wound has scabbed over.

The man is in good physical condition.

No, no, no... Compared to her physique, her figure is truly exceptional.

Every time I see it, I'm amazed.

Luckily it was the middle of summer, and he was only wearing two things: an outer robe and an inner garment.

but……

Should I go so far as to pull down his pants too?

To her surprise, the man had already walked towards the bathhouse, ignoring her.

Xiao Tang: ...

She's overthinking it.

She even fantasized about seeing his long, straight legs.

She has a slight leg fetish.

The sound of water could be heard coming from the bathroom.

Xiao Tang couldn't figure out what the man was thinking for a long time.

[Beep beep... Host, a side mission has been activated. Please help the main villain cure his mild depression within three days.]

Are you... kidding me?

Xiao Tang gave a soft scoff.

This is really not her fault.

She looked at him from all angles, and he didn't seem to have depression at all.

[A reward of 5000 points.]

Xiao Tang: [Good... Damn it!]

For 5000 points, she'd help him get treatment regardless of whether he had depression or not!

The water was splashing loudly.

Xiao Tang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Um, system, do you have any back-scrubbing gadgets?"

[Yes, host. Soap is worth 5 points, a bath sponge is worth 10 points, a scrubbing tool is worth 10 points, and there are various other bath gadgets. Which one would you like to redeem?]

There are indeed quite a few amazing artifacts.

It's dazzling to look at.

Xiao Tang glanced at them casually, then felt a headache coming on. [Fine, I'll just use a bath sponge.]

I don't know what kind of system this thing is, it's gradually changing.

She took a bath sponge and, with graceful steps, went to the edge of the bath.

"My lord, your concubine has come to assist you with your bath."

There was only one figure standing there, back to the viewer.

Water droplets slowly trickled down his broad, muscular back.
