The room next door.
Disguised as an ordinary assistant officer, Yu Youhan sat on the chair with her legs crossed, her exquisite feet swinging as her fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
Ye Zi'e picked up the teapot and poured into the cup in front of her, "Empress, please have some tea."
"Mm."
Yu Youhan's face was expressionless, showing no signs of emotion.
Ye Zi'e took out a map from her bosom, marked with several locations in red ink, placed it on the table, and said, "I have been tracking the Gu God Sect for months, roughly locking down a few locations where Yin Tiankou might be active. Please have a look, Empress."
"Just leave it there." Yu Youhan said indifferently, not even bothering to glance at it.
Ye Zi'e was merely going through the motions, knowing full well that the Empress didn't care about these matters.
When the Gu God Sect was at its most powerful and rampant, it still couldn't catch her eye. Now that only a few remnants remained, they could be easily dealt with.
The main reason she had lowered herself to accompany this time was because of Chen Mo.
"It seems the Empress really cares about Mr. Chen!"
"Mr. Chen too, despite being the Empress's trusted advisor, still entangles with other women, quite bold, showing no awareness of being a concubine…"
Recalling the scene at the South City Gate, where Chen Mo and that white-robed Daoist nun embraced passionately, Ye Zi'e felt a chill down her spine.
If not for that Fire Department Constable intervening in time to stop the two, the consequences might have been unimaginable!
"Fortunately, that Daoist nun didn't follow along. Accompanying him are just two assistant officers, which should prevent any mishaps... As long as we reach the Southern Border smoothly and eliminate the Gu God Sect remnants, we can return to the Capital City peacefully..."
As Ye Zi'e was contemplating this, she suddenly heard a "thump thump" sound.
At first, she thought it was the Empress tapping on the table, but soon realized it was coming from the next room, faintly accompanied by low whimpers.
"Wait a moment..."
"It seems someone is calling for help?"
Ye Zi'e couldn't help but frown.
The next room was Chen Mo's; could something have gone wrong?
She took a couple of steps closer, pressing her ear to the wall to listen intently.
"Spare me, my lord..."
"You said you were willing to be punished, and now you can't endure it? You can argue with me, but I can't argue with you? How is that fair?"
"Mm mm mm..."
"Ah, I forgot to set up the soundproof array. Wait a moment..."
The noise abruptly ceased.
(O_O)?
Ye Zi'e's eyes widened in surprise.
Anyone with a bit of sense could tell what was happening next door...
No wonder that assistant officer dared to talk back openly; turns out they're in that kind of relationship?!
