It must be emergency measures for an outbreak of Chill Toxin.
Lin Jingzhu said, "Mr. Chen, I’ll try circulating the cultivation technique again this time."
Chen Mo nodded, "Okay."
She sat cross-legged on the bed pallet, circulating the Nine Revolutions Ice Soul Technique.
Chen Mo placed his palm on her back, calling upon the power of Qi-Blood Power, and tangible blood Qi poured into her body under the guidance of True Yuan.
Lin Jingzhu’s head emitted blasts of cold air, and very quickly, white frost crawled over the surroundings of the bed pallet.
As the blood Qi flowed through her meridians, her body alternated between cold and heat, one moment her lips turned bluish purple from the cold, the next moment she was so hot that she sweat profusely, the evaporating moisture fogging up the room.
After a quarter of an hour, seeing her body trembling, nearly unable to bear it anymore, Chen Mo finally interrupted the transmission of blood Qi.
The consumption of blood Qi was not substantial, it would naturally recover in about half a day.
Lin Jingzhu took a breath, concentrated, and sensed inside. Her expression suddenly filled with surprise.
"The Chill Toxin has indeed lessened! This method really works!"
Although the change was slight, at least there was hope!
As long as it’s accumulated over time, bit by bit it’s cleansed, there will come a day when the Chill Toxin is thoroughly expelled!
"My husband is really awesome!"
Lin Jingzhu couldn’t control her excitement and threw herself directly into Chen Mo’s arms.
Chen Mo was a bit dazed by the Little Grapefruit’s collision.
At this moment, she was all damp, her clothes tightly clinging to her body. Because of her kneeling posture, looking down along her spine, one could clearly see the contour of her hips...
"Cough, cough, Lin Catcher..."
Lin Jingzhu came back to her senses, her pretty face instantly reddened, and she quickly sat up straight, "Sorry, Mr. Chen, I got too excited just now."
Chen Mo said, "Expelling the Chill Toxin is a lengthy process, we must not rush it. Considering your endurance, it’d be better to clean it once every three days."
"Yes, I’ll listen to you, Mr. Chen."
Lin Jingzhu nodded vigorously.
The incurable illness that had tormented her for over twenty years finally saw hope for cure, filling her heart with joy and excitement.
At the same time, her gratitude towards Chen Mo grew even greater.
This favor, she feared, she might never be able to repay in this lifetime.
Just as Chen Mo stood up, he suddenly frowned, as if sensing something, gave careful attention, and said in astonishment, "You also invited Her Majesty the Empress?!"
Lin Jingzhu blankly said, "No, tonight’s banquet was only for Mr. Chen."
"Then why is the Empress suddenly coming..."
Sensing the approaching figure, Chen Mo couldn’t help feeling anxious.
He had promised the Busty Empress to keep a distance from Lin Jingzhu. Just coming for the banquet didn’t count for much, but being caught in this boudoir, it would surely be hard to clear his name!
"If the Busty Empress catches us, she’ll definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble..."
The previous Chaotic Scene with the Empress was still vivid in his mind, he definitely couldn’t make the same mistake again!
Chen Mo’s gaze swept around the room, finally settling on the wardrobe.
In the entire room, this was the only place to hide a person.
"When Her Majesty the Empress comes in later, you take care of her first, and absolutely do not tell her I’m here!"
Before Lin Jingzhu could react, Chen Mo had already opened the closet door and crawled in.
The room door was knocked upon.
Lin Jingzhu used her cultivation to dry off the moisture, got up, and went to open the door.
Seeing the woman wrapped in a Cloak in front of her, she immediately froze.
"Auntie, what brings you here?"
"Surprised or not, unexpected?" The corners of the Empress’ lips lifted, smilingly she spoke.
"..." Lin Jingzhu was at a loss for words.
The character of the Empress was capricious, her actions boundless; she often did absurd things unsuitable for her status. This was not the first time she stealthily slipped out of the palace, but she had just happen to run into Chen Mo...
Seeing her unnatural expression, the Empress’ brow furrowed, "What, you’re not welcoming me?"
Lin Jingzhu forced a smile and said, "How could that be, I look forward to seeing Auntie every day..."
"Hmph, at least you have some conscience."
The Empress stepped into the room.
Lin Jingzhu closed the door, turned around, her pupils sharply trembling.
The Empress took off her silk Cloak, revealing her inner attire.
The tight red dress perfectly outlined her voluptuous figure, the water-drop-shaped neckline revealing a delicate collarbone, and the skirt had a high slit, faintly exposing snowy thigh flesh and the curve of a full moon.
"How do I look in this outfit?"
The Empress spun around, offering a full view of herself.
She came here specifically to show off her new clothes.
Such beautiful clothes but only being able to admire them alone was like wearing brocade at night—a frustration.
Lin Jingzhu nodded and said, "It’s indeed quite special and really suits your temperament."
The Empress beamed with a smile, smugly saying, "You have good taste, this was personally tailored for me by a little thief... Cough, by a genius designer, and it’s the only one in the entire Tiandu City, you know."
At that moment, she noticed Lin Jingzhu’s attire and found it strange, "Did the sun rise from the west today? You always wear a Martial Robe, why did you put on a dress today?"
Lin Jingzhu’s eyes dodged, "Nothing much, I just wanted to try out a different style..."
"That’s more like it!"
The Empress patted her shoulder, jokingly saying, "Dressing up like a man every day, wasting such a pretty face... Tell me, do you have someone in mind? Whose family’s young master? Auntie will help you check."
Lin Jingzhu blushed and chided.
Seeing her bashful appearance, the Empress looked slightly stunned, "There really is someone? Wait... you haven’t fallen for Chen Mo, have you?"
Lin Jingzhu’s cheeks reddened even more, stomping her foot, "What nonsense are you talking about? I only have respect and gratitude for Mr. Chen, I don’t have any other thoughts!"
The Empress sighed in relief, "It’s not Chen Mo, that’s good..."
