"Chu Chuyan and Zu An both said it was thanks to the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace, but you and I both know that while the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace can improve cultivation, it has no effect on reconnecting meridians."
"Out of curiosity, I asked Chu Chuyan a few more questions. Judging from her hesitant and shy reactions, she must have become a real couple with Zu An in the secret realm."
"According to the intelligence I found before, the two of them were probably only in name before this, but after that their relationship progressed rapidly, and Chu Chuyan completely accepted him. I don't believe that a woman as beautiful as Chu Chuyan would be conquered by a man just because she had a relationship with him. There must be another reason."
"Considering the fact that her severed meridians healed without any apparent reason, I suspect it's mostly related to her union with Zu'an. You know my injuries have been hopeless for many years, so even the slightest possibility is enough for me to try."
"Even if I guess wrong, it doesn't matter. Zhao Hao has made me live like a widow for so many years, so I'll just treat it as entertainment."
"As it turns out, my guess was right. That guy's essence blood can indeed nourish the damaged meridians."
The Empress's soliloquy seemed to be an explanation, or perhaps a way of organizing her thoughts, while simultaneously venting the dissatisfaction that Zhao Hao had suppressed over the years.
Eunuch Lü was equally excited: "Now that we've succeeded, why not kill Zu An according to the plan? Hmm, I can still catch up with him now."
The Empress shook her head, her expression turning somewhat strange: "Things are a little different from what we imagined. This healing method isn't a one-time thing; it requires long-term nourishment.

No wonder Chu Chuyan and Zu An became inseparable after the secret realm. She's just an innocent young girl, being tormented like that every day; it would be strange if she didn't fall in love with that guy."
Upon hearing that long-term "treatment" would be needed, Eunuch Lü's eyes showed both pain and excitement. He couldn't help but ask, "And what about you, Your Majesty? Will you gradually fall in love with him because of this?"
The Empress said calmly, "I am not an innocent young girl. You know my temperament and what I want. Even Zhao Hao, the number one in the world, could not conquer me. What is a mere Zu'an? At most, he is just a piece of medicine residue that is still usable."
If Zuan were here, he would be astonished to find that the woman at this moment was completely different from the docile and cooperative kitten she had just been.
Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.
