Chapter 406: Chapter 170 The Fallen Empress! Empress, Your Highness, I want them all!_4
Ji Lianxing sighed softly, "Manzhi, it’s truly been hard for you. It’s my fault for wronging you."
Gu Manzhi shook her head and said, "For the great plan of the sect’s revival, this bit of sacrifice from a disciple is nothing."
(￢_￢)
Ye Henshui listened from the side, secretly thinking to himself.
The Holy Daughter is both having a good time and able to improve her cultivation, where’s the hardship in that?
The one who’s truly sacrificed is me; not only did I get no benefit, but I also have to endure inhuman torment...
Seeing that the time was about right, Gu Manzhi appropriately said, "Now the relationship between the disciple and Chen Mo is very intimate. If we risk using the poison again, it would be like adding legs to a snake, and might even ruin everything..."
Ji Lianxing is unscrupulous in her quest for revenge, having no trust whatsoever in men.
Gu Manzhi didn’t expect to rely on this alone to make the master give up the idea of poisoning Chen Mo.
It was just an attempt to delay things a little longer.
However, Ji Lianxing shook her head and said, "That’s also why I came today... The Gu God Sect has already been annihilated by the court. Obtaining the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect now is as difficult as climbing to the sky, so this plan is temporarily canceled."
Gu Manzhi’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she nodded with forced composure, "Master is wise."
"However..." Ji Lianxing changed the subject and said, "I underestimated Chen Mo’s foundation before. This child, whether in temperament or potential, far exceeds ordinary people; he is by no means a simple person. If this child can be utilized by me, it would increase our odds against Yu Youhan."
Ji Lianxing pondered for a moment, then asked, "Chen Mo seems to have an unusual connection with that chief of Tianshu Pavilion. Do you know about this?"
Gu Manzhi was taken aback, puzzled, "Where did Master hear this information?"
Ji Lianxing shook her head and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. That little Daoist nun, to protect Chen Mo, burned her Essence Blood and disregarded her own life... Tianshu Pavilion practices Forget Love Path, so how did they cultivate such a devoted person?"
"Furthermore, the relationship between Daoist Venerable and Yu Youhan has always been tense, yet these two are involved together, which indicates many things behind the scenes."
"If we can get Tianshu Pavilion’s support, the major tasks can be accomplished..."
Gu Manzhi’s throat was dry, and she cautiously said, "You’ve already met Chen Mo?"
Ji Lianxing gave a bitter smile, "Not only met, but to be accurate, he even saved my life."
Gu Manzhi: ?
Ye Henshui: ?
...
...
The next morning.
The faint morning light seeped through a gauzy curtain, falling onto the lacquered, gold-carved Phoenix Couch.
The Empress’s long and lush lashes trembled slightly, and moments later, she slowly opened her moist eyes, still hazy with sleep.
"Slept so sweetly~"
Under the stress of complex political affairs, her nerves were constantly tense, and it had been a long time since she slept so comfortably.
Now, all her exhaustion was gone, filled with a long-lost vitality, as if she were completely renewed, feeling like she could review eighty memorials without pause.
"Good morning, Your Highness."
Suddenly, a low voice came to her ear.
?!
The Empress froze all over, stiffly raising her head to look.
Only to see Chen Mo smiling at her, and she was snuggled in Chen Mo’s embrace in a rather undignified position, her thigh pressed against him, her skirt slightly lifted, revealing a patch of fair, tender leg.
"Chen, Chen Mo?!"
"What are you doing here? What did you do to me?!"
The Empress came to her senses, exclaiming, hurriedly crawling out of his embrace, hiding in the corner of the bed.
She looked down to check, the palace gown was a bit disarrayed but intact, and she didn’t feel anything strange on her body... only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"How dare you!"
"Who allowed you to sleep on my bed?"
The Empress glared at Chen Mo in shame and anger, coldly questioning.
Yesterday, the two were clearly drinking in the inner hall, how did they end up on the bed?
This little thief must have taken advantage of her drunken state!
"Heh, just as expected, luckily I had foresight."
Chen Mo, calm and collected, took out the Image Stone and placed it in front of the Empress.
"Your Highness, please watch the VCR."
The Empress: [・_・?]
