"..."
Chen Mo’s lips twitched slightly.
Recalling the bewildering scene from last time, he shook his head and said, "You stay here for now, don’t go out. I’ll go lead Her Majesty away."
With that, he got up and walked out of the bathroom.
...
Elsewhere, the Empress had just stepped through the door when she bumped into a strong chest.
"Who?!"
The Empress was startled.
How could a man appear in the Xuanqing Pool?
She quickly took two steps back, looked up, and seeing the handsome face, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she asked in confusion, "Chen Mo, what are you doing here?"
Chen Mo naturally replied, "I’ve finished the work at the Imperial College and came into the palace to report to Her Majesty. Since I just finished a spar, I thought I’d come here to take a bath first..."
The Empress frowned and said, "You came to Xuanqing Pool to bathe? This is where I bathe. How could you..."
As she spoke, she suddenly realized.
This guy hurried to bathe as soon as he entered the palace, obviously not just for cleaning!
The Empress crossed her arms in front of her chest and said somewhat flusteredly, "I’m warning you, don’t mess around. I... I haven’t agreed to anything yet!"
Seeing this, Chen Mo understood that the Empress had misunderstood, so he decided to let the error continue to avoid her discovering Lin Jingzhu hiding in the bathing pool.
He stepped forward, constantly closing in on the Empress.
The Empress staggered backward until she was cornered, with her back against the wall, leaving no retreat.
Pressed tightly together, Chen Mo looked down at her exquisite face and chuckled, "Her Majesty seems quite nervous?"
The Empress dared not look at him, her eyelids trembled slightly as her slender hands clenched her skirt, "You, you better not act rashly. Someone might come by at any moment, and if we’re seen..."
Before she could finish, her body suddenly stiffened as a large hand had already climbed onto her waist—
Chen Mo said, "Please continue, Your Majesty. I’m listening."
The Empress: "..."
She could almost hear her own heart beating wildly, as if it might leap out of her chest!
Chen Mo leaned close to her fair earlobe and whispered, "Her Majesty said not to act rashly here, meaning, that we can do it elsewhere..."
