“Her Majesty wants me to capture the Prince of Wu?”

“Her Majesty only wants to take back the prince’s title and land justifiably. The Prince of Wu himself isn’t important. But the Prince of Wu has been planning for so long and has made many preparations. He should continue planning in the dark. The Imperial Court will clean up these matters. What you want to do is another matter.”

Ye Jingtang asked, “Which is?”

“The Prince of Wu has a retainer named Zhang Jinglin. He is suspected to have developed a substitute for the Snow Lake Flower. This item is very important. You have to think of a way to find him and investigate this matter. If it is true, you have to bring him back alive.”

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly. “Just this?”

The empress felt that Ye Jingtang didn’t understand the seriousness of the matter, so she continued, “My practice of the evil technique has caused some damage to my meridians. Only the Snow Lake Flower can keep me alive at critical moments, but there aren’t so many Snow Lake Flowers in the world. Therefore, Her Majesty wants you to go out to do this. You can’t slack off. This token can allow you to mobilize any forces of the Imperial Court at any time.”

This time, Ye Jingtang understood what she meant. Yuhu urgently needed this kind of medicine to treat her injury, but she couldn’t let outsiders know that she urgently needed this thing, so she had to let him, an insider, do this job. “Understood. If the news is true, 1 will definitely do my best to bring him or the formula back.”

“Put your hand in again.”

Ye Jingtang was slightly puzzled. He thought that Miss Yuhu was going to give him a sword of state or something. But in the end, after he reached in and took it out, there was a green apple lying in his hand with two bites and red lipstick marks…

Ye Jingtang was speechless. “Doesn’t it taste good?”

“It’s good, but 1 don’t have much of an appetite.” The empress supported her face with her hand and continued, “In a few days, the Prince of Jing will serve as the imperial envoy and take officials of the Six Ministries to Rising Sun City in Wu Province to deal with the Prince of Wu lineage and their assets.

“Only you know about Zhang Jinglin’s matter. It is of utmost importance. If you and the Prince of Jing disagree, you can use a token to make her listen to you and prioritize this matter, but don’t reveal the truth. Just do your best to bring him back.”

Ye Jingtang felt that Yuhu’s demand for the Snow Lake Flower seemed to have reached the level of impatience. He asked, “Are you worried about your injury?”

The empress deliberated for a moment. “It’s not particularly serious, but it can’t be treated in a short period of time. I’m indeed worried.”

Ye Jingtang knew that solving Yuhu’s problem wouldn’t be as simple as killing a few people. He immediately asked, “Can I take a look at your injury?”

The empress said, “You’re not a doctor. You can’t see my internal injury.”

“I recently learned the Wind Listening Palm. I can sense the movement of the qi in the body. I’ll give it a try.” Ye Jingtang lifted the curtain and sat by the bed.

When the empress saw this, she didn’t say anything. She turned over, lay on the bed, and raised her fair wrist.

Ye Jingtang sat on the side of the bed like an old doctor. He placed Yuhu’s hand on his lap and used his fingers to feel her pulse. He closed his eyes and sensed carefully. Her pulse was very stable…

“I don’t sense a problem…”

The internal injury of the empress was that she had practiced the Roaring Dragon Chart on her own and destroyed the original structure of her body, causing extremely minute flaws. Her two strands of white hair were the external changes caused by the internal problem. Usually, when nothing was particularly wrong, no problem could be found with her pulse.

The empress pointed at her right shoulder. “I occasionally feel a faint pain in my shoulder, but my bones, skin, and flesh are normal. 1 can’t figure out what’s wrong.”

Hearing this, Ye Jingtang placed his hand under her right shoulder and carefully sensed. “Does it hurt now?”

“It will hurt for a few hours during the day. It’s not serious. 1 just feel it. It doesn’t hurt now.”

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the movement of the qi in her body.

The empress leaned on the pillow. For some reason, when she felt the heat from Ye Jingtang’s body again, she felt very comfortable.

Although it was called a sense of security, she didn’t seem to lack a sense of security now…

The empress stared fixedly at the stunningly beautiful man in front of her. She couldn’t figure out what the issue was.

Ye Jingtang studied carefully like a doctor. In the end, after searching for a long time, he didn’t find any internal injury in Yuhu’s body. Instead, he found that the blood and qi in her body were not right.

The specific description was similar to when he touched Heroine Luo in the afternoon. But the reaction in Yuhu’s body was stronger. Even through the thin fabric, he could feel the… lust flowing through Yuhu’s body?

Ye Jingtang opened his eyes and looked at Yuhu, who was as calm as a meditating old monk. He felt that she looked normal.

But her body’s reaction shouldn’t be lying. It was clearly burning…

In order to verify it, Ye Jingtang massaged Yuhu’s shoulder gently and found that she felt pleasure. When the flow of her qi and blood increased, he followed it. When they became calm, he adjusted the intensity and position…

“Phew…” The empress’s eyelashes moved slightly. She felt extremely comfortable.

But her rationality prevented her from forgetting that the person who was teasing her desire was her brother-in-law!

For this reason, the empress suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said, “Ye Jingtang, do you want to enter the palace and serve Her Majesty with me?”

Ye Jingtang paused for a moment and retracted his hand. “I don’t feel any internal injury or abnormality. 1 think it’s endocrine… Um… the internal regulation of your body is abnormal. 1 feel that if you go to Madam Wang, she’ll be able to see more problems than me.”

The empress narrowed her eyes slightly. “Do you mean that you haven’t found anything after touching me for so long?”

Ye Jingtang wanted to explain, but in the end, he said frankly, “That’s right. But I only massaged your shoulder. My intention was to treat your internal injury.”

The empress didn’t bother arguing. She waved her hand and said, “My injury is very difficult to treat. Go bring Zhang Jinglin back first.”

Ye Jingtang stood up, picked up the gold As If 1 Am Here’ token, and looked at it. “Should I set off with the Prince of Jing?”

“The Prince of Jing has to take officials of the Six Ministries on an official ship and will travel slowly. The Prince of Wu might have already received the news by now. By the time you arrive in Wu Province, he should have already escaped from Rising Sun City. The sooner you go, the higher the possibility of completing this matter.”

Ye Jingtang put away the token and turned around. “I understand. I’ll go back and pack my things before setting off.”

The empress raised her hand slightly. “Go ahead.”

Ye Jingtang was about to walk out of the bead curtain, but when he saw the furnishings of the room, he felt that something was wrong and turned around. “Miss Yuhu, this is my bed.”

The empress blinked her charming eyes. She wanted to say, “All the land in the world belongs to me.”

But these words were a little too domineering. She stood up, stood in front of Ye Jingtang, and exhorted, “Even if you can mobilize the government forces, this matter is still dangerous. You have to prioritize your own safety and be careful.”

“I know what to do.”

“If you accomplish this matter, what reward do you want?”

Ye Jingtang originally wanted to say that he didn’t seek fame and fortune, but this was obviously impossible. After some thought, he tried asking, “I have two confidantes who want to learn the Jade Bone Picture. Miss Yuhu, do you think this is possible?”

When the empress heard that Ye Jingtang was still thinking about his wife at this moment, she couldn’t help sighing inwardly. My judgment of people is indeed sharp. Power, money, fame, and sex. This kid really only has the word sex.

The empress thought for a moment, leaned closer to Ye Jingtang, and said meaningfully, “1 can give you whatever you want.”

As the fragrance of orchid blew against his earlobe, Ye Jingtang stood up straight. He felt that Miss Yuhu was flirting with him and quickly took half a step back. He was about to say, “Miss, please respect yourself!”

But before he could speak, he discovered the peerless beauty in the red lift the bead curtain and walk out of the door, leaving only a faint fragrance remaining in the room…
