Even though the emperor had seen countless beauties, he was still slightly amazed at this moment.
The Empress blushed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Lü glanced at the emperor secretly, wondering if he was going to stay overnight in Kunning Palace.
Tsk tsk tsk, it's been so many years since I've been here, and yet it happened to be today. Is it really fate?
Seeing her eyes, which were as clear and bright as autumn water, the emperor did not reply. Instead, he looked around and said, "Huh? Why are there so few people in Kunning Palace today? And it's all dark?"
Eunuch Lü's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the Empress with some worry.
On the contrary, the Empress remained calm and answered with a normal expression: "When the Crown Princess had that incident some time ago, everyone in Kunning Palace was busy investigating various matters and everyone was exhausted. Now that the matter has been settled, let them have a holiday to rest."
The Emperor smiled slightly: "The Empress's care for her subordinates is truly exemplary for the harem. Guards, bestow upon everyone in Kunning Palace half a year's salary."
The Empress hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you on their behalf. By the way, I wonder why Your Majesty suddenly thought of Kunning Palace today?"
The emperor replied, "I had a sudden urge to come and check on you today since I was passing by. By the way, is your injury still not healed?"
The Empress lowered her head, her face filled with sorrow: "I have already resigned myself to my fate."
The emperor said, "I will search the world for miraculous medicines and I will surely cure your old internal injuries."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Empress bowed in gratitude with a look of surprise, but inwardly she sneered. A few years ago, she might have believed in this, but so many years have passed, and every time he has given her some mediocre stuff to appease her. She has come to understand that the Emperor is mostly doing this to keep the Empress's relatives in check, and he doesn't really want her to be restored to her former status.
Since that's the case, we'll just have to figure it out ourselves.
"By the way, I just heard a commotion outside. I wonder what happened?" The Empress was worried that he would notice something was amiss, so she quickly changed the subject.
"That ignorant embroidered-robed messenger has been dealt with." The emperor said as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
The Empress was startled. She immediately remembered that she had also given Zu'an a set of embroidered robes. Could it be him at this moment?
This is just too unlucky!
All my plans have fallen apart!
Although she was extremely anxious, she did not show it at all, nor did she ask any questions about related information. After all, it would be strange for an empress to care so much about a mere embroidered messenger, and this guy in front of her was notoriously suspicious.
The two chatted for a while longer before the emperor stood up and said, "Empress, please take good care of yourself. I'll be going back now."
The Empress asked with a resentful look, "Isn't Your Majesty going to let me stay overnight?"
The emperor frowned almost imperceptibly, then shook his head and said, "There have been many events in the court lately, and I still have a lot of official business to attend to."
The Empress wore an expression that said, "I knew it," but outwardly remained respectful: "State affairs are of utmost importance. I respectfully see Your Majesty off!"
"Empress, please wait!" The Emperor hummed in response, then turned and left Kunning Palace.
They happened to run into Zu'an outside the palace after he had been punished, and Eunuch Wen came with his men to report.
The emperor hummed in agreement, then looked at Zu'an: "Be more careful in the future. The palace is not like the outside world. If you make any more mistakes, even I cannot protect you."
This guy comes from a humble background and is a bit too wild; he needs to be disciplined from time to time.
Zuan was absolutely furious!
Knowing the ways of emperors, how could he not see through his methods? He was clearly trying to make things difficult for me, but he acted as if he were doing me a great favor.
Of course, he was cursing in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face: "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty."
Seeing his listless appearance, the emperor left satisfied, seemingly pleased with the effect of the reprimand.
Zu An remained where he was and sat down to meditate, regulating his breathing and circulating the Primordial Chaos Scripture. The injuries he had sustained in the life-or-death battles before could heal quickly, so what was this superficial wound? Soon the skin and flesh on the wound healed, leaving only some hard scabs on the surface.
Even though his injuries had healed, the anger in his heart did not subside in the slightest. His face was ashen, and all sorts of thoughts that others would consider outrageous filled his mind.
He needs to become stronger, so that his life and death can no longer be controlled by someone else's whim.
Just then, a refreshing fragrance wafted by. Looking up, he saw the beautiful and voluptuous Empress standing before him: "Are you alright?"

It looks absolutely terrifying.
