"But inviting a deity is easy, sending them away is difficult; the price is now having a tail too heavy to lift."
"The roots of the Hidden Clan have infiltrated every corner of the Great Yuan, continually devouring the nation’s flesh and blood, impossible to peel away, much more troubleso than a clan of sects."
"Otherwise, how do you think Jiang Yuchan ascended to the position of Empress?"
"It’s all just for the sake of profit."
Chen Mo naturally understood this principle.
The Jiang Family controls the Cabinet, while the Qi Family is inseparable from the Central Secretariat, and the even more mysterious Wan Qi and Sikong families... The situation in the Great Yuan’s officialdom is far more complicated than imagined.
It’s like countless threads extending from the darkness, tied to the officials, controlling their every move.
And you don’t even know who the "players" behind the scenes really are...
"So it’s inevitable that the Great Yuan has reached this point."
"Even without the Demon Clan and the Barbarians, it will eventually be hollowed out by these parasites."
"Then repeat the fall of previous dynasties, becoming dust in the new cycle of dynastic changes, while these parasites remain unhard, only having to search for their next host."
Yu Youhan had already gradually adapted to Chen Mo’s massage, adjusting to a more comfortable sitting position, speaking lazily: "To completely solve this problem, you need to burn both the flesh and the parasites together."
"Simply put, it’s rebellion..."
"In a way, I’m saving the nation."
"..."
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.
It sounded reasonable enough that he didn’t know how to refute it.
"Do you have confidence in dealing with Chu Heng?" Yu Youhan inquired.
Chen Mo nodded and said, "I have already prepared in advance, it shouldn’t be much of a problem."
"Hmm." Yu Youhan softly said, "Just do what you see fit, don’t be too reckless; succeed or fail, it’s okay, at worst I’ll just kill him along with Chu Yanli."
"With you around, the fate of the nation isn’t that important to ."
If he could not be an emperor, then dual cultivation was good enough, as both had similar effects...
Thinking of this, Yu Youhan’s cheeks reddened, her heart beating wildly.
Chen Mo’s throat moved.
He roughly understood the Empress’s aning.
Without the constraints of "national backlash," the Empress was no longer boundhanded, equivalent to the final boss unlocking prematurely; isn’t it then just a case of whoever stands in the way gets killed?
Yet this presented the most fatal problem...
What about Empress baby?
With the Empress’s character, if she truly cut loose, the first to be killed would be Jiang Yuchan!
"I think we shouldn’t put all our eggs in one basket, still need to make more preparations."
Chen Mo’s thoughts turned swiftly, advising, "After all, I still can’t fully control the Dragon Qi, there may still be variables, and after all, how could the Empress so easily discard years of effort?"
"That seems to make so sense..."
Yu Youhan nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll follow your advice."
The Empress suddenly becoming so compliant, Chen Mo was a bit unaccustod.
His fingertips glided over skin as smooth as satin, continually pressing acupoints, from the cervical spine and shoulder well, all the way down to the life gate point.
When his fingers pressed on the Yao Yangguan Acupoint, Yu Youhan’s body trembled sharply.
"Why, why is it so hot?"
"It’s Divine Skills, I infused the Divine Skills," Chen Mo explained as a matter of course, "Introducing the fla Divine Skills into the acupoint to stimulate Yang Qi, thereby achieving the effects of dispelling cold and dampness, stretching and activating ridians."
"I understand what you’re saying, but... it really feels uncomfortable!"
The acupoint is located at the tail of the lower back, already very sensitive, and under the heat’s stimulation, it made her unable to restrain herself, having to bite her teeth to prevent strange sounds from escaping.
"Mainly, I’ve seldom seen such perfect backs, my hands are a bit itching... Empress, how about lying down first?"
Chen Mo suggested.
"What are you trying to do now..."
Yu Youhan muttered under her breath, but still lay on the edge of the bath as instructed.
Chen Mo took out the silky smooth grease from the Heavenly Profound Ring, which Shen Zhixia had used up last ti, poured it into his palm, rubbed it with heat to lt it, then began to massage from top to bottom.
Under the effect of the silky smooth grease, the touch beca even more slick and delicate, whilst that kind of numbing sensation beca even more intense.
Yu Youhan’s body flushed like the clouds at dusk, her gaze gradually becoming dazed, her breathing quickening...
"Below the Yao Yangguan Acupoint, is..."
Chen Mo hesitated slightly but still pressed slowly up.
"Hmm!"
Yu Youhan’s body suddenly straightened, an uncontrollable muffled hum escaping her lips.
Ripples spread across the water’s surface, with splashes carrying a scorching temperature.
"Empress, are you alright?" Chen Mo cautiously asked, "Should I continue?"
"Wait..."
Yu Youhan’s eyes were vacant, her voice trembling slightly, "You said you’d press the back, what is this?"
"Plans can’t keep up with changes." Chen Mo muttered quietly, "Originally just a bit of itching, now it’s itching, itching, unable to hold back at the mont..."
Yu Youhan: "..."
...
...
Outside the Frozen Sky Palace.
Xu Qingyi sat on the stone steps, hugging a cat in her arms, staring blankly at the crescent moon on the horizon.
"It’s been several hours already, why hasn’t Mr. Chen co out yet?"
"And even if it’s discussing official business, it shouldn’t be discussed at the Haitang Pond, right?"
"Mimi, what do you think they’re really doing?"
She muttered to herself.
"ow~"
The cat looked displeased, seemingly disliking the na "Mimi."
"It shouldn’t be possible, how could the Empress..." Xu Qingyi shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel distracting thoughts, but her mind was like a tangled thread, impossible to untangle clearly.
