Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace Chapter 337 337: 335 Master and Disciple Meet Again

In the following days, Chen Mo traveled back and forth between the second residence, the barracks, the Fla Workshop, and Zhao Jiangning's residence.

Even during the early court sessions, he activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils to admire Xiao Yunxi behind the curtain.

Chen Mo also paid attention to the changes in the political situation.

After Huazhong arrived at the frontline, he eliminated several enemy generals in succession, greatly boosting the army's morale.

On the sixty-fourth day of the great turmoil.

When the news reached the Capital, all the civil and military officials were invigorated.

Xiao Yunqi also breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps the so-called army of the Eighteen Lords was not so formidable?

But Chen Mo knew that it wouldn't be long before the army would suffer consecutive defeats, possibly being driven straight to Nanyang and pressing against the Capital.

Yet Chen Mo couldn't directly tell Xiao Yunqi; saying so would dampen his spirits, wouldn't it?

Moreover, how did you know what would happen in a few days?

Even if you predicted correctly, they would think you're a jinx, not saying anything positive.

Therefore, Chen Mo only subtly reminded him, like suggesting Xiao Yunqi send reinforcents, or at least deploy a few First Grade Martial Artists to help.

But Xiao Yunqi said to wait a little longer.

Tomorrow is the martial exam, and now Bianliang has nurous Jianghu forces and many skilled Jianghu masters; it's extrely unsettled. The few First Grade Martial Artists around Xiao Yunqi were used to protect his trusted aides, preventing assassins from killing them.

After all, the assassination events of the past few days were still fresh in mory.

Let's wait until after the martial exam, when Bianliang returns to calm, then see.

However, to avoid disappointing Chen Mo, Xiao Yunqi still dispatched fifty thousand Imperial Guards to the front lines.

...

On the other side.

Inside a room at the Hongfu Restaurant.

"Master, when did you co back?" These days, Yi Yao had been keeping an eye on the third floor of Hongfu Restaurant in the west of the city. Today, upon seeing the rightmost window open with a red ribbon tied, she imdiately ca over to et Jiang Ruoqing.

"Last night... just arrived in Bianliang." Jiang Ruoqing held the teacup with both hands and, noticing Yi Yao's gaze, quickly lowered her head to sip the tea.

The reason for lying was that she felt embarrassed to see Yi Yao.

After all, if Yi Yao knew she was Chen Mo's woman, her uncle's woman, how awkward would that be?

She was Yi Yao's master.

Now, what should they call each other?

Call her sister-in-law or master.

No, it should be sister-in-law.

Fortunately, Yi Yao didn't suspect, and she chuckled, "Master, you must be weary from your journey. How about this: your disciple will prepare a welcoming banquet for you as a maid at the Chen Mansion, and master wants to et you too."

"Ah..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing panicked.

Since the banquet was hosted by the Chen Mansion, Chen Hong's younger brother Chen Mo would attend. If she went, wouldn't everything be exposed?

"No, no." Jiang Ruoqing said.

"Why?" Yi Yao couldn't understand. "Chen Hong" is her man, and Jiang Ruoqing is her master, an elder to both her and the master, and they haven't even t yet after so long; it seems unreasonable.

"Ah..." Jiang Ruoqing was at a loss and hurriedly thought of a reason, then said, "The killer of my master has been found in Jiangnan, so I still need to go to Jiangnan for a trip."

"What's the na?" Yi Yao also asked with interest.

She knew this was always what her master cared about the most.

"I don't know his na yet, only that he's in Jiangnan, so I plan to make a trip to Jiangnan," Yi Yao said.

"Can't you even spare ti for a dinner? You could also ask the master to help your master at that ti," Yi Yao said.

"No need." Jiang Ruoqing quickly replied and then explained, "There's a boat to Jiangnan soon. If I miss it, I'll have to wait another two weeks.

Next ti, when I co back, I will definitely go with you to see him."

"...Alright then." Yi Yao looked disappointed.

...

Inside Zhao Jiangning's residence.

The door to the master bedroom in the backyard was tightly closed, and there was no one in sight outside the house; those who usually attended to Zhao Jiangning had long been dismissed by Zhao Jiangning.

Inside the house, a strange low growl sounded.

Zhao Jiangning's long, beautiful legs suddenly straightened, her body followed suit... Her exquisite face flushed, her chest heaving, spellbinding.

"I told you to recuperate well before coming back, but you insisted on being brave."

The beauty, whose skin seed to yield dew with a light pinch, clung tightly to Chen Mo's arms. He wiped her tears from the corner of her eye with his hand, bent down, and kissed her forehead.

Zhao Jiangning had no strength left in her body, but she was not regretful.

Because she was afraid of being abandoned by Chen Mo.

So after nstruation, she hurriedly offered her body to him, gripping Chen Mo's back tightly, resting her chin on his shoulder, and said affectionately, "I have only you. You mustn't abandon ."

It seed she couldn't forget the impact Chen Mo had on her a few days ago.

"Fool, what are you saying?" Chen Mo said, biting Zhao Jiangning's earlobe, then added, "Didn't I tell you before that I was just joking?"

"Then... then swear it!" Zhao Jiangning said pitifully.

"I swear if I dare to abandon Prince De Ning in this life, may I be struck by lightning five tis." Chen Mo seriously made an oath.

Only then did Zhao Jiangning smile through her tears and whispered in his ear, "I want you to stay with today..."

"No... shhh..."

Just as Chen Mo was about to reply that it was no problem, he sensed sothing and quickly told Zhao Jiangning to be quiet.

"What is it?" Zhao Jiangning asked in a low voice.

"Soone's coming." Chen Mo quickly got dressed.

"Ah..." Zhao Jiangning also panicked, hastily getting dressed while she said, "Didn't I say before that no matter what happens, no one is to approach here?"

"It's not soone from the residence."

After dressing, Chen Mo hid behind a screen inside the room, concealing his aura.

"What?" Zhao Jiangning's pupils contracted.

She finished dressing, and soon, footsteps sounded outside the house, then her personal maid entered: "Your... Your Highness, we couldn't stop them, they insisted on coming in to see you..."

Chen Mo had sneaked into the residence alone, without bringing any guards.

Soon, a deep voice sounded outside the room: "Is Her Highness the Empress inside?"

Even though Chen Mo was hidden, if they ca in, sothing was bound to be discovered.

Therefore, Zhao Jiangning propped herself up and went out, feeling a bit nervous upon seeing several large n outside the house.

Her personal maid also said, "Your Highness, they forced their way in, the guards couldn't stop them..."

The guards Chen Mo stationed at Zhao Jiangning's residence were Seventh to Eighth Grade Martial Artists, numbering nearly a hundred; stopping a Sixth to Fifth Grade Martial Artist shouldn't have been a problem.

If they couldn't stop them, then it indicated these n were above that level.

Zhao Jiangning showed a dignified expression, "How dare you!"
