This is merely a folk custom, He Yuzhi herself is a person of the Jianghu, so it may not be necessary for her to follow this.
But it’s better to be safe than sorry; she doesn’t want to leave a bad impression on her mother-in-law just after getting married.
"Chen Mo has already broken through to First Grade, and with the red silk binding, if he gets out of control, I wouldn’t be able to resist at all. Bringing him back to the Frozen Sky Palace is too ’dangerous.’ I can only send him to the Empress’s place first."
Given Yu Youhan’s understanding of the Empress, even though she had warned against approaching the boundaries, the other party might find it hard to resist.
To outsiders, the Empress already has the image of a widow, and she is the Crown Prince’s ’biological mother,’ so whatever happens wouldn’t matter.
As expected.
Soon enough, strange sounds came from behind the veil.
Yu Youhan glanced over, feeling her ears burn a bit and muttered under her breath, "Really in a hurry, aren’t they..."
Seeing the situation grow tenser, she couldn’t bear watching anymore and quickly left the bedchamber.
...
...
In the room, the candlelight flickered, casting shadows deep and shallow over the gold-threaded gauze curtain.
The Empress lay on the Phoenix Couch, propping her chin with both hands, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on the handsome profile.
A nose as straight and refined as carved jade, a jawline sleek and smooth, sharply defined contours, as pristine as a figure painted with ink; even in sleep, there was an inherent dignified and clear charm.
"Why is this person so good-looking?"
The Empress couldn’t help but reach out to touch, but seeing the swirling light dust, she suddenly remembered Yu Youhan’s warning and paused her hand.
She understood that these emotional impurities could infinitely amplify the obsessions buried deep within, causing someone to lose all reason and do things otherwise unthinkable.
In these years, Great Yuan was plagued by internal and external troubles, making it difficult to progress.
As the Eastern Palace Empress, she held court behind a curtain, balancing the ministers, dealing with complex affairs while handling the Emperor’s hidden motives and the scheming Imperial Consort.
Besides moments spent with Chen Mo where she could relax a bit, she was always tense, not daring to slack even a bit.
But now, the situation has settled, the skies have changed, and everything that constrained her is no longer.
So...
What’s there to worry about anymore?
"For the so-called greater good, I have restrained myself everywhere, remained vigilant, and endured for six long years... Why not indulge myself this once?"
The Empress’s eyes grew resolute as she crawled toward Chen Mo, slipping into the boundary.
As she passed through the barrier, the white light dust seemed to find a release, rushing toward her, entering her pores.
The Empress’s breath gradually grew hurried, her chest heaved irregularly, the blush spread from her neck to behind her ears, her phoenix eyes were shimmering with a dazed glimmer.
Perhaps due to the transformation her body underwent through Dragon Blood, she didn’t lose her rationality, but felt a flame burning in her chest, her whole body hot and unbearable, her mind dizzy.
"So hot..."
The Empress reached for the tie at her waist, and her palace gown slowly slipped off, revealing large patches of fair and tender skin.
The crimson embroidered corset adorned with phoenixes and peonies was soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her body, outlining soft round curves.
Then she took off Chen Mo’s robe, curling herself into his embrace, the cool touch made her hum comfortably.
"So comfortable~"
Resting her delicate head against Chen Mo’s chest, listening to that strong heartbeat, it seemed to resonate with her own bloodline, that deep bond was indescribable.
Vaguely, she felt some kind of change.
Her mind drifted to what happened last time in Zhao Hua Palace.
Had it not been for Lin Jingzhu and Jinyun’s sudden interruption, they probably would’ve surpassed the last barrier by now?
"This time..."
"Whatever I say, I won’t let you leave."
The Empress wobbled as she supported herself, knees bent, back straightened sharply.
