Yu Youhan did not look around as he ascended the Royal Palanquin.
The White Clothes Master shouted loudly, "Lift the palanquin, back to the palace!"
The Royal Palanquin soared high, ceremonial flags fluttering, escorted by the Palace Servants, magnificently moving towards the direction of Frozen Sky Palace.
Chen Mo, however, was suspended high in the air, drifting behind, which made him especially conspicuous.
...
Only then did Eunuch Jin respond.
So Yu Youhan made such a massive scene just to capture Chen Mo!?
It felt like seeing a husband sneaking out to cheat, only to be caught by his valiant wife...
...
On the palace pathway, Sun Senior Palace Lady, leading a group of Female Officers, hastened forth.
Usually, she would follow close by His Highness, but today the Empress had dismissed everyone aside to meet Chen Mo alone, not keeping a single Female Officer by her side.
But she just received the news that Yu Youhan had suddenly visited!
That demoness, with abnormal strength and unfathomable, deep thoughts, might pose a threat to His Highness!
Thinking of this, Sun Senior Palace Lady grew anxious, her steps quickening, almost flying without touching the ground.
Upon reaching the front of Yangxin Palace and seeing Eunuch Jin, she approached and inquired, "Eunuch, what happened? Where is Consort Yu?"
Eunuch Jin’s expression was somewhat strange, "His Highness is inside, in perfect health, Consort Yu has already left."
Sun Senior Palace Lady breathed a sigh of relief.
She gestured for everyone to wait outside and entered the grand hall alone.
Reaching the inner rooms, she saw the Empress propped up on a soft couch, her voluptuous legs crossed, swinging her Exquisite Feet, her golden red palace shoes dangling from her toes, completely lacking the dignified air expected of a motherly Empress.
Sun Senior Palace Lady stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, this servant has arrived late."
The Empress shook her head, "What difference would it make if you arrived earlier? Are you her match?"
...
Stung by those words, Sun Senior Palace Lady inquired, "Did the Imperial Consort perform any presumptuous actions?"
The Empress cocked her lips and coldly snorted, "This demoness, as always, doesn’t take this palace seriously, smashed two bowls, and even alarmed the Heavenly Shadow Guards..."
?!
Sun Senior Palace Lady was utterly shocked upon hearing this!
Alarming the Heavenly Shadow Guards meant that Consort Yu definitely harbored a lethal intention!
But judging by His Highness’s demeanor, he seemed not to be angry, and instead... quite pleased?
"Lost all composure in front of me, even went so far as to directly snatch someone... Hmph, it seems this demoness is truly panicking!"
"Yu Youhan, I’ve finally discovered your weakness!"
The Empress’s eyes curved like crescents, appearing as refreshing as drinking a cup of ice-cold plum juice on a scorching summer day... even the slight resentment seemed much diluted.
"Chen Mo indeed harbors a great secret!"
"She must have also recognized that Chen Mo is befavored by destiny, which is why she cares so much!"
The Empress didn’t consider this a matter of romantic affection.
Yu Youhan, with her grand ambitions, would not be hindered by mere romantic entanglements.
"The more you behave this way, the less I will let go, Chen Mo, I must have you!"
"Perhaps I should have him visit the palace more often, just to infuriate that demoness... But then again, what if he disrespects me again?"
The Empress bit her lip, her expression somewhat troubled.
That little thief, daring to a fault, if he goes further, making advances... Surely I can’t really have him executed, right?
