Knock, knock-

In the magnificent resting palace, Dongfang Liren knocked lightly on the door and waited for a while. Seeing that there was no movement inside, she pushed open the bedchamber door.

Squeak!

The rain outside rhe window was pattering, and the palace lanterns under the eaves emitted dim yellow light, illuminating the elegant outer room. Wisps of breeze swept in, and the green jade bead curtain swayed gently in the room.

The room was very quiet and seemed to be empty.

Dongfang Liren entered and wanted to call out, “Your Majesty?”

But just as she stepped through the door, the door behind her was closed. Then two hands reached out from behind her and covered her eyes.

?!

Dongfang Liren’s expression changed drastically. She thought that she had been ambushed by an unknown rebel in the empress’s bedchamber, but how could there be such an ambush?

Dongfang Liren froze on the spot. She thought that her sister was joking, but the feeling of the big hand was clearly that of a man, and it was very familiar… “Guess who?” The man’s gentle voice that was pretending to be deep sounded beside her ear.

YeJingtang? Dongfang Liren was taken aback. She was obviously a little surprised, but she quickly remembered where she was…

Thump!

A soft muffled sound came from the bedchamber.

Dongfang Liren’s movements were extremely fast. She pulled away the hands blocking her eyes, turned around, grabbed the man’s clothes, and pressed the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her against the door. Her eyes were slightly fierce. “Why are you here?!”

While speaking, she sized up Ye Jingtang carefully and found that his hair was disheveled, and the official robe she had given him today was tattered. It was obvious that he had experienced a bloody battle. For this reason, Dongfang Liren retracted her strength and asked, “Are you hurt?”

Ye Jingtang was pressed against the door, but he didn’t resist. There was a smile in his eyes. “1 went to look for Qiu Tianhe just now and found that Eunuch Cao had rushed into the palace. 1 was afraid that something would happen, so 1 ran over to help. 1 exchanged a few moves with Eunuch Cao. I’m fine.11

Dongfang Liren nodded in understanding, but when she thought about it, her eyes were full of suspicion. “I’m asking you why you’re here. Do you know what this place is?”

Ye Jingtang naturally knew that this was Great Gorgeous’s bedchamber. In order to prevent Dumdum from finding out about Great Gorgeous’s injury, he could only forcefully make up an excuse. “1 used up my strength and needed to recuperate. The Hall of the Supreme Principle is close to here, so 1 went to the Roaring Dragon Pond to meditate. I just found that Your Highness was here, so

I came over secretly to give Your Highness a surprise.”

Dongfang Liren was skeptical about this explanation and said seriously, “This is Her Majesty’s bedchamber. Didn’t the palace maid tell you last time that you can’t enter without permission?”

Ye Jingtang smiled and said, “I saw that there was no one here and Your Highness was walking here. 1 thought this was Your Highness’s residence in the palace…”

“You can sneak into my residence?” Dongfang Liren harrumphed lightly but didn’t continue to reprimand Sir Tangtang. Confused about her sister’s whereabouts, she turned around and walked to the screen, wanting to take a look at the bathroom where she usually soaked in the medicinal baths.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang knew that things weren’t good. If Dumdum opened the bathroom door and found Yuhu lying naked in the bathing pool with her red dress and sexy underwear beside her, he probably wouldn’t be able to explain himself even if he jumped into the Clear River!

As this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Jingtang quickly raised his hand and pulled Dumdum back.

Dongfang Liren’s wrist was grabbed. She paused and looked back. “What are you doing?”‘

When she saw Ye Jingtang’s face, she was slightly stunned.

It was drizzling outside the window, and the handsome young master was right in front of her. His bright eyes carried an indescribable tenderness as he stared at her intently.

It was as if he was looking at a delicate flower that he truly treasured. He wanted to approach her, but he was afraid that any carelessness would damage the beauty in front of him.

Dongfang Liren could be considered to be in love for the first time. Recently, she had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from reading Tears of a Heroine, but she was still as inexperienced in love as an unmarried, delicate young lady.

But seeing this sudden look of his, Dongfang Liren immediately understood what it meant. He likes me…

II   II

Dongfang Liren’s body stiffened slightly. Her originally dignified, cold, and heroic eyes revealed a trace of hesitation. A hint of red appeared on her fair face, and her red lips parted slightly, but she didn’t say anything.

Ye Jingtang held her wrist and pulled the tall princess to him. Their eyes met, and his tone was gentle. “Last time at the Bright Yang Pool, 1 accidentally saw Your Highness naked. Your Highness let bygones be bygones and asked me to help the Black Office solve the case and repay the debt. After repaying it for so long, 1 have made some achievements. 1 wonder if Your Highness is satisfied?”

Dongfang Liren was pulled closer. The shiny silver fat-headed dragon was at most two inches away from Ye Jingtang’s chest. She raised her head and looked into the man’s eyes.

After Dongfang Liren heard his gentle words, her entire body tensed up. She tried her best to maintain the appearance of a cold princess, but the slight trembling of her eyelashes revealed the turbulence in her heart. “Umm… 1 am very satisfied. Continue to work hard in the future… Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Ye Jingtang’s eyes were gentle as he looked at the bright face in front of him. “It’s nothing. I just want to ask. If Your Highness is satisfied, how is You Highness going to reward me?”

Reward?Dongfang Liren’s original plan was to ask Ye Jingtang for a reward, but with the current atmosphere, it didn’t seem right to say this. She felt that the reward he wanted now should have nothing to do with fame and fortune, but the kind between a man and a woman…

Dongfang Liren hesitated for a moment and probed, ‘What reward do you want?”

Ye Jingtang smiled mysteriously and pulled Dumdum toward the window.

Dongfang Liren was slightly confused, but she still followed him to the small terrace by the lake.

Then Sir Tangtang raised his hand domineeringly, hugged her waist, leaped out of the terrace, and crossed the waves to the other end of the Roaring Dragon Pond..
