Chapter 643: Chapter 245: The Empress Baby’s Background! First Massage, Then Bath! _3

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness." Chen Mo spoke at the right moment.

"The so-called ’Hidden Clan’ refers to those noble families who have withdrawn from public life for hundreds of years." The Empress explained briefly, saying, "After so many years, there are probably only four families left: Jiang, Qi, Wan Si, and Si Kong."

"Jiang?"

Chen Mo blinked and asked, "So, Your Highness is also from the Hidden Clan?"

"Sort of." The Empress’s expression was somewhat complex, her tone paused, and she said, "Although they are said to be hidden, in reality, they are everywhere, just that ordinary people find it difficult to notice... You know the Bao Heng Money Shop, right? It’s the Jiang family who controls it from behind."

?

Chen Mo was a bit astonished.

Bao Heng is the largest money shop in the entire Great Yuan, with branches all over Jiu Zhou, and its Convenient Money Service and Exchange Shops are almost everywhere. Saying it is wealthy enough to rival a nation is not an exaggeration!

"Well, I didn’t expect Her Majesty the Empress to really be the richest woman in Great Yuan?!"

"This thigh seems thicker than I imagined!"

The Empress, unaware of what he was thinking, continued, "Besides that, in transportation, salt and iron, medicine... you can see their presence everywhere, including in this court. Otherwise, do you think Zhuang Jingming became Chief Minister by himself?"

Chen Mo inquired, "Which family is supporting Chief Minister Zhuang?"

The Empress replied, "The Cabinet was initially established to counterbalance the Central Secretariat, and Zhuang Jingming was also personally promoted by the Jiang family."

Chen Mo frowned, "In that case, he should obey Your Highness, but from what just happened, that doesn’t seem to be the case."

The Empress shook her head and said, "In the end, Zhuang Jingming belongs to the Jiang family, not to me... I am not aligned with the Jiang family; in their eyes, there’s only profit, but in my eyes..."

She stopped speaking, not continuing further.

Chen Mo’s lips slightly curled up, he stepped onto the dais, circled around the screen, and came before the Empress, "Why did Your Highness stop midway, what’s in your eyes?"

The Empress’s oval face flushed slightly, she muttered softly, "Of course, it’s you, this lustful little thief..."

Chen Mo chuckled lightly and said, "I feel the same."

The Empress huffed delicately, turning her elegant face aside, "You speak nicely, but I don’t believe you."

Chen Mo reached out to cup her somewhat warm face, gently pecking at her rosy lips.

"How about now?"

"I don’t believe..."

"And now?"

"Mmm..."

A long time passed.

The Empress propped herself against Chen Mo’s chest with her slender hand, barely breaking free, her apricot eyes glistening with watery light, and she chided annoyedly, "Stop kissing, if my lips get swollen and people notice, what am I supposed to do?"

Knowing that the Empress was thin-skinned, Chen Mo didn’t push any further. He thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, since I’m here, would Your Highness like me to massage your shoulders?"

"Alright."

The Empress nodded.

Recently, due to Chen Mo’s affairs, she didn’t know how many memorials she had to handle every day, with the workload at least doubled, making her physically quite exhausted.

Chen Mo placed his palm on her shoulder, massaging it gently.
