Swish!

Bam! Bam!

Flames and sparks soared into the sky. Soon, countless pedestrians came to the riverside to watch the excitement. After experiencing a storm, Rising Sun City regained its usual vitality.

Ye Jingtang had bought a lot of fireworks and lined them up by the river. The empress dowager lit them one by one. Emboldened by the empress dowager, Dongfang Liren also went over and lit two. It took a full half an hour before they lit them all.

Seeing that there were too many people watching by the river, Dongfang Liren brought the empress dowager back to the prince’s estate.

The empress dowager had so much fun that she didn’t even care about the time when she was knocked unconscious. Her attitude toward Ye Jingtang was much better, and she even praised him a few times along the way.

By the time they returned to the Prince of Wu Estate, it was already late at night.

Dongfang Liren was tired from running around all day and didn’t let Ye Jingtang work overtime anymore. Ye Jingtang finally got off work and returned to the courtyard where he was staying with Third Lady.

In the dead of the night, the people staying at the guest residences of the Prince of Wu Estate were already resting. Ye Jingtang entered the courtyard corridor and looked up to see the lonely bird standing under the eaves, looking toward the city center and watching the fireworks set off by the people.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang had returned, the bird was unhappy to be left at home, so it tilted its head and ignored him.

Ye Jingtang shook his head and sighed. He brought Third Lady to the wing room and asked, “It’s getting late, and you’re still injured. Are you going to bed early, or…”

Pei Xiangjun had just been kissed on the street and had yet to return to her senses. When she heard Ye Jingtang say this, she hesitated for a moment before pulling him toward the vixen’s room. “You must be thinking about the two beauties presenting peaches. If 1 rest, you’ll be worried about it all night…” While speaking, Pei Xiangjun gently pushed open the door and looked into the inner room.

The bedroom was quiet, and there was no movement. Luo Ning was lying behind the curtain with her back facing the door, and they could only see the back of her head. She seemed to be asleep.

Pei Xiangjun didn’t believe that the vixen could fall asleep alone. She quietly walked up to her and lifted the thin blanket slightly.

Under the thin blanket, the first thing they saw was her exquisite and graceful fair figure. Her upper body was a cut-out undergarment, and her lower body was side-tie underwear, the kind that couldn’t completely cover the moon.

Pa-

When Pei Xiangjun saw this coquettish outfit that clearly revealed her wolfish ambitions, she harrumphed softly and patted the moon. “What are you pretending for? Hurry up and serve Jingtang.”

“You…” Luo Ning was indeed pretending to be asleep. After being slapped, she turned around with a displeased expression. “Why didn’t you help him recuperate? Why did you come over?”

“Sleep. What else can I do?” Pei Xiangjun took off her shoes and crawled under the blanket, imitating what Luo Ning did last time. “Jingtang, come.”

Luo Ning definitely wouldn’t cooperate. She twisted her waist and even nudged Pei Xiangjun with her elbow. “Is there something wrong with you? If you’re bored, just help him recuperate yourself… Move your hand!”

“Don’t move!”

Ye Jingtang smiled and sat in front of them. He teased Luo Ning with his fingers. “Alright, let’s rest early…”

“Little thief!” Luo Ning shivered. Seeing how presumptuous Ye Jingtang was being, she wanted to get off the bed angrily.

Pei Xiangjun was almost used to Luo Ning’s little acts. She pressed her down and instructed, “Jingtang, touch her. She’ll be obedient when she’s in heat.” “Little thief, don’t you dare! Do you believe that I’ll return to the South Firmament Mountains tomorrow…”

Ye Jingtang wasn’t that rude. He just leaned forward and kissed her cold cheeks twice.

Luo Ning tilted her head to dodge a few times, but she couldn’t avoid it. In the end, she closed her eyes in resignation and endured the humiliation…

Unknowingly, it was early in the morning. The sound of roosters crowing came from afar. “Cluck cluck cluck-”

At dawn, in an elegant courtyard at the back of the prince’s estate, all the lights were off. Only the two dim yellow lanterns under the eaves of the main room exuded a gentle halo.

The bedchamber was very quiet. Only three soft breaths could be heard.

Hongyu was sleeping in the side room. On a table not far away, there were lanterns, smiling masks, makeup, and other miscellaneous items. They were all bought on the streets as souvenirs from the trip to Wu Province.

In the bedroom, two gorgeous dresses were draped on the screen.

The empress dowager was sleeping on the inner side in a thin undergarment. There was a smile on her mature and delicate face. She was probably dreaming of flying out of the palace one day.

Daoist Xuanji was lying flat on her side. Although she was usually frivolous, when she woke up in the middle of the night, her face still revealed a faint sorrow that outsiders couldn’t see.

Every autumn, Daoist Xuanji would enter the capital to stay for a period of time. To the outside world, she explained that she was visiting the empress dowager. But in fact, she was actually acting as a guard to prevent the empress from encountering any mishaps.

Back then, in order to usurp the throne, the empress had embarked on a path of no return. Although she had succeeded, the price of defying the heavens had always existed within her.

Grow in spring and wither in autumn. Autumn was the season when everything withered. Every year during autumn, the empress’s body would inexplicably become very weak. The reason for this had yet to be found.

All Daoist Xuanji could do was search for the Roaring Dragon Chart all over the world. Every autumn, she would return to the capital to protect her disciple. Day after day, year after year, she had already been searching for ten years.

But finding the Roaring Dragon Chart relied on luck rather than strength. After so many years, she had only found possible clues. She didn’t know how long Yuhu could last.

If something happened to Yuhu, Liren wouldn’t be able to suppress all the civil and military princes of the dynasty. Even though she was supremely powerful, she was still merely a martial artist. It was easy to defend one person but difficult to defend a country. She couldn’t control the general situation at all.

Only she knew about these pressing matters. She was helpless but had nowhere to complain, and she couldn’t hand over this responsibility to outsiders. What should she do in the future…

While Daoist Xuanji was leaning against a pillow and silently feeling worried, she suddenly heard a sound coming from outside.

Whish, whish-

“Your Highness? Your Highness?”
