Omnipotent Queen Arrives! Matters of the Women's Bathhouse! Tian Tian Shu Bar

  When Dong Chen said that, Tang Lin felt a lot more at ease. At least she could conquer someone who was considerate of her face like Dong Chen, which was a pretty good gain. But then again, how should she deal with Du Yuan now?

  Tang Lin looked at Du Yuanyuan who was already lying on the bed and about to cover himself with a quilt, obviously intending to break his promise.

  Seeing Du Yuanyuan's attitude, Dong Chenchen said angrily: "Hey, someone, what do you mean? In today's bet, who boasted and now is going back on their word? You're actually welching on the deal, shameless, are you still a woman?"

  Du Yuanyuan couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly sat up and turned her head to glare at Dong Chenchen, her face puffed up with anger. "Why am I, Du Yuanyuan, not a woman?"

  Dong Chen coldly curled her lip and said, "I think you're not a woman at all!"

  Du Yuanyuan was so angry that she jumped out of bed, strode a few steps to Dong Chenchen's face, and in front of everyone, without warning, pulled off her clothes. Instantly, the spring scenery inside her clothes appeared before the crowd. "Do you dare compare? You say I'm not a woman? Look at you, you're not even a woman! No face, no figure, nothing at all, yet you still dare to argue with me Du Yuanyuan about what it means to be a woman? Bah, shameless!"

  "What did you say?" Dong Chen was completely enraged and immediately raised his hand to slap Du Yuanyuan, but was stopped by Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin swung her hand and stood between the two, scolding irritably: "Alright! Have you had enough?!" She looked at Dong Chenchen, then turned to Du Yuanyuan, saying in a bad tone: "Du Yuanyuan, listen up. You can treat this bet as child's play, it's your hobby, I won't blame you for that. But someone like you, I wouldn't be able to stand having you as my subordinate without getting driven mad!"

  "I'm going to be so angry I'll die!" Du Yuanyuan glared at Tang Lin, but in fact her heart had already softened. She really didn't want to be a person who didn't keep her promises, it's just that she was more concerned with saving face than Dong Chenchen, and wasn't willing to swallow her pride.

  "Huh?" Tang Lin slightly narrowed her eyes, "What does it mean?"

  Du Yuanyuan turned her cold face away, "You know it in your heart, do I need to say more?"

  Tang Lin forced a smile and pretended to be stupid, "The thing is, I, Tang Lin, don't know!"

  "You," Du Yuanyuan suddenly turned her head to face Tang Lin's face, Tang Lin actually denied her meaning, deliberately making things difficult for her, and got angry. But if she didn't take the initiative to clarify, the other party would definitely use this to pretend to be stupid again. "My intention is... I'll be your subordinate!"

  "Oh!" Tang Lin feigned sudden realization, "So that's how it is!"

  "Dong Chen urged: 'Then show some sincerity!'"

  Du Yuanyuan glared at her, meaning "Dong Chenchen, you wait", and then reluctantly knelt down on one knee to Tang Lin, his posture overly cold, his tone overly harsh. "Boss is above, please accept Du Yuanyuan's bow!" After finishing speaking, he immediately knocked his head on the ground, and after lifting his head, continued saying: "I, Du Yuanyuan, am not a person who speaks but doesn't act. In the future, I will still gamble with you to win back Boss's position, do you dare accept?"

  Tang Lin's mouth curled up, raising a confident and seductive arc. "Among you, anyone can make another bet with me. Whoever wins will take back the position of Lao Da. I, Tang Lin, will never go back on my word!"

  Everyone applauded and cheered, "Great job, boss!"

  Tang Lin looked at Du Yuanyuan, helped her up, and then tidied up her clothes. She praised: "Yuanyuan, as a woman, you indeed have enough capital to win the favor of any man, but in terms of betting, I also hope you will put in more effort. The position of the eldest, is always waiting for you to take it!"

  Du Yuanyuan smiled proudly, this pride, no one on the scene could have, "Don't worry, you will soon be calling me boss!"

  After a while, Tang Lin prepared her clothes and planned to take a bath, but she didn't know where the bathroom was. She asked Du Yuanyuan on the bed next to her, "Hey, Yuanyuan, have you taken a bath? Where is our bathing place? Is it in the bathroom?"

  "Take a bath?" Du Yuanyuan frowned, "What's the point of taking a bath? My body isn't even dirty!"

  Yun Xiang interrupted, "Boss, Yuan said it right, we're not dirty anyway, what's the point of taking a bath tonight? Let's get some rest and recharge for tomorrow's match!"

  "Really?" Tang Lin dryly laughed, looking at everyone with an expression of watching a monster. "I'm from the south and it's not winter now, I have the habit of taking a bath every night. Please, take me to the bathhouse once?"

  "Boss, I'll go with you!" Yuxin said, sitting up from her bed. "I also have the habit of taking a bath every night, and before entering the palace, I was worried if there would be a place to take a bath inside!" She was a beauty-loving little jade, and if she didn't bathe for a day, she felt like she wasn't charming enough.

  "Then let's go together!" Tang Lin was a bit excited. With someone accompanying her, she must be excited.

  "I'm going too!" With Yuxin taking the lead, Yunxuan didn't want to be left out and joined in on the fun. She was even faster than Yuxin, throwing off her covers and getting out of bed right away.

  Yun Xiang also joined in the fun, and Mei Chun'er, who was still eating at the dinner table, also planned to take a bath, so she raised her hand and said: "Boss, I'll go with you!"

  "Alright, alright," Tang Lin said with relief, "then let's go together! Hurry up and grab your clothes!"

  Right away, Yun Xiang and the others started rummaging through the closet for clothes.

  Yun Xiang is someone who can easily get wind of the news, she said to everyone while picking out clothes: "I heard that the imperial palace takes special care of contestants with invitation cards, not only are their accommodations and food taken care of, but even the bathing facilities are arranged very well!"

  Yu Xiang was folding her bright red bellyband into a square, when she heard Yun Xiang say this, she became very curious. "Yun Xiang, what do you mean?"

  Yun Xiang said: "I also heard it from the girls in the room opposite, they said that the bathing place has a special guard, and any man who wants to sneak a peek can't get in. Although it's a big bathhouse, it's very memorable!"

  Yun Xiang said that, Dong Chen Chen poked her head out of the quilt, scratched her neck and complained: "Yun Xiang, it's all your fault, now I'm itching all over, I want to take a bath too!"

  Yun Xiang smiled and said, "Then let's go, anyway you can't sleep!"

  "That's right!" Then, Dong Chen immediately got out of bed, putting on his shoes while saying: "If there is a place to take a bath and you don't take one, isn't that a waste?"

  Du Yuanyuan, who was almost asleep, was tempted by everyone's topic. At this moment, lying in bed is very uncomfortable, and she also wants to join in the fun with everyone, but she can't bear to lose face, so she insists on pretending to be cool.

  Tang Lin noticed Du Yuanyuan's movements and quietly whispered a few words in Yun Xiang's ear. After listening, Yun Xiang gave her an "it's okay" look and walked to the bedside of Du Yuanyuan, pulling open his quilt, "Ahh Yuan Yuan, come with us together, and also Shiyu," not forgetting to push He Shiyu who was closing her eyes but actually awake, "Without you two, nothing is fun!"

  Someone took the initiative to pull one, and the face was taken care of. So, Du Yuanyuan reluctantly said: "Okay, just this once, don't make it a habit!" After finishing, he pretended to get out of bed slowly and put on his shoes.

  He Shiya let out a soft sigh, she didn't make things difficult for everyone, and quietly got up.

  Everyone got their clothes ready and went out together towards the bathhouse.

  ——

  The bathhouse was not far from Tang Lin's room, and when they arrived at the entrance of the bathhouse, they indeed saw two women standing guard, both middle-aged women over 40 years old.

  There are only fourteen girls living in Lan Garden. Tang Lin and her roommates make up seven, the remaining ones are those seven from the opposite rooms. The girls from the opposite rooms have gone to take a bath very early, while Tang Lin and her roommates are the last batch.

  With the permission of the two middle-aged women guarding the entrance, Tang Lin and others entered the women's bathhouse smoothly.

  The environment inside the bathroom is very elegant, the ground is covered with clean gray-black wooden boards, without a speck of mud. Behind the white gauze curtain, there is a circular pool, which can hold more than 20 people, and at this moment, the pool is surrounded by swirling steam, like a dreamy scene.

  The water in this pool is from a hot spring. The spring water can automatically flow into the pool and then automatically flow out from the other side, constantly replacing itself.

  On the water's surface, scattered with rose petals.

  Tang Lin and the others lifted up the white gauze curtains, stood together by the pool, then one after another put down the clothes in their hands on the pool railing, started to untie their waistbands, take off their outer garments, remove their shoes.

  Next, Tang Lin continued to watch as others walked into the pool one after another. Their figures were all different: some were slender, some were well-proportioned, some were full-figured, some were fat, and some were rough... each person was unique.

  After He Qiyue's slender and delicate long legs elegantly stepped into the water, Tang Lin began to take off her clothes, first the belt, then the outer garment, and finally the undergarment. However, after the undergarment fell to the ground, the modern underwear she didn't change out of today was reflected in everyone's eyes.

  Yun Xiang couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Wow!" she exclaimed, staring straight at Tang Lin's full and perfect chest, "Boss, your... that wrapped chest corset... is really... really special!"

  Mei Chun'er was already stunned with admiration, "I've never seen it before, so beautiful!"

  Du Yuanyuan simply glanced at Tang Lin's chest, thinking that her own was already enviable enough, but unexpectedly, Tang Lin's even figure also had a pair of jade-like breasts that were stunning and made people both admire and envy.

  Tang Lin said lightly, "There's nothing to see, we have plenty of these at home!" After finishing speaking, she unhooked the bra from behind her back and pulled down the straps of her brassiere over her shoulders. Instantly, a pair of full and delicate jade-like breasts popped out.

  Wow! Dong Chen and others were silently amazed, their eyes didn't even blink!

  Yu Xiang took a look at her own chest and immediately puckered up her mouth, hating herself for not having as good a figure as Tang Lin.

  Tang Lin bent down, took off her pants and walked into the pool. She sat down and the warm water immediately submerged up to her beautiful collarbone. Feeling the comfort brought by the water temperature, she leaned back, closed her eyes comfortably and said, "Taking a bath is still comfortable!"

  ——

  NanGong Square

  As there were too many contestants left after the first round, the palaces near Nangong could not accommodate so many people. Therefore, Yifeng ordered to set up tents on the square of Nangong Palace to provide a resting place for all contestants.

  Fu Yushu, Cao Dan, Han Xueyan, Yun Lei, they were the last few to choose a tent. In the end, they could only choose the smallest tent, which was staked in the farthest corner of the square and could only accommodate five or six people sleeping.

  The other contestants all chose very large tents.

  After dinner, Fu Yushu and Cao Dan, the two of them, started playing Go in the tent, but it's unknown where they got the Go board from.

  Yun Lei sat beside them, watching the chess game.

  Han Xueyan walked in with a dejected face from outside the door. Fu Yushu saw him and immediately asked, "Xueyan, what's wrong? This is your second time entering the tent since nightfall. What have you been doing all this time?"

  Cao Dan sneered, "Our brother Xue Yan is quite the ladies' man. There were over a hundred girls participating in the Imperial Guard selection, he must have gone to flirt with them!"

  Han Xue walked silently to a corner and sat down, leaning against the tent with a sad expression.

  Fu Yushu and Cao Danlian both lost interest in playing chess, walked over together, and sat down on one side. Fu Yushu asked first: "What's wrong? Are you worried about tomorrow's result, afraid of being eliminated?"

  Han Xue shook her head and muttered: "No!"

  "What is that?"

  Han Xueyan said: "I saw someone who looked like my brother-in-law today, but since returning from the Royal Forest, I have been searching for him in the square from nightfall until now, and I still haven't found this person. My heart is very anxious, and I'm worried to death!"

  "Don't worry!" Cao Dan comforted, then asked: "Tell us, what does your brother-in-law look like? We'll go help you find him!"

  Han Xueyan seemed to have thought of something and immediately said to the two: "It's that person who walked out of the underground passage with you today!"

  Fu Yushu was taken aback, "One of those three generals?"

  Han Xueyan immediately shook her head, "No, it's the one who came out before you, the one who spoke with the Emperor!"

  Fu Yushu's eyes narrowed, "He?" Suddenly remembering, in the Lu mansion's backyard, Han Xueyan had revealed to him that her brother-in-law was named Shao Qi and her sister was named Han Lingying. Could it be that Qilin was actually...

  Cao Dan was shocked and said: "You're saying that Qilin Big Brother is the one who looks like your brother-in-law?"

  Han Xue's eyebrows furrowed, "Qilin?!" This name...

  Cao Dan said, "Right, Qilin, we just met him today. He told us his name is Qilin, but we don't know what his surname is. What's going on? Is he your brother-in-law or just someone who looks like your brother-in-law?"

  Han Xue smoked and frowned, saying: "I don't know if he is my brother-in-law or not, but he looks quite like him. When I see him, I'll ask him and then I'll know what's going on, but the thing is, I just can't find his person!"

  Fu Yushu said: "I haven't seen him since he went in at night!"

  "What's going on?" Cao Dan was not only confused by what he heard, but also thought very vaguely. "How long has it been since you last saw your brother-in-law? From the tone of your voice, it seems like it's been a long time since you've seen him, otherwise you wouldn't be uncertain whether Qilin is really your brother-in-law!"

  "Five years ago, my brother-in-law and sister left our hometown together. They said they were going to the capital for a trip, to take care of some things, and would be back home in a few months. But it's been five years now, and they haven't returned home even once, not a single word from them. I came out of my hometown this year specifically to come to the capital to look for them. Originally, I wasn't here to participate in the Imperial Guard selection competition, but when I saw someone who looked like my brother-in-law walk in, I followed him in!"

  Cao Dan sighed, "I didn't expect that you had such a story. However, Xue Yan, five years ago, you were only thirteen or fourteen years old. Five years have passed, even if your brother-in-law saw you now, he wouldn't recognize you!"

  Han Xue gave him a white eye, "Five years isn't that long, and I haven't changed much, how could you not recognize me?"

  Seeing her refute, Cao Dan compromised, "Alright, you're right!"

  At this time, Yun Lei, who was still sitting not far away from the three people, spoke up: "Qilin is a contestant, and he's probably around here somewhere. We'll search through each of the tents one by one, and we're sure to find him. Then, Brother Xue Yan, you can ask him clearly whether or not he's your brother-in-law!"

  Han Xueyan said with a dejected tone: "But I've searched through more than half of the camp, and still can't find any trace of him!"

  Yun Lei gave a suggestion, "We three have all seen him, otherwise, the three of us can also go out to help you find him? One more person, one more bit of strength!"

  "This..." Han Xueyan looked at him, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears. "Yunlei Gege, am I troubling you too much..."

  Yun Lei stood up and smiled: "No need to be polite, it's what should be done!"

  "Alright!" Fu Yu Shu stood up and said, "Yun Lei's suggestion is good, let's go out and search together. If we still can't find him by midnight, we'll come back and rest. By the time the tournament starts tomorrow, we'll naturally be able to see him then!"

  Han Xueyan said gratefully: "Fu Ge, thank you!"

  "Don't cry, you're acting like a girl! We're all men, we can't shed tears easily! Come on, let's go find him together!" With that, Cao Dan put his arm around Han Xueyan's shoulder in a brotherly manner and they walked out of the camp together.

  ——

  Women's Bathhouse

  After soaking in the bath for a while, Tang Lin felt extremely comfortable all over her body. She stretched her waist and yawned, feeling a bit sleepy. She looked at everyone who was still full of energy playing with water and asked: "Are you all willing to leave?"

  Yu Xiang immediately opened her mouth to refuse, "No way, it's so comfortable here, I don't even want to go back to sleep!"

  Tang Lin gave her a glance and kindly reminded: "If you soak any longer, your skin will peel off!"

  Yu Xian said with a smile: "I'd be willing even if I lost!"

  "Come on, just a little while longer!" Meichun pleaded.

  "Alright, let's soak for a while longer!" At this moment, Tang Lin felt that being the eldest was really embarrassing. "Hey, you guys chat, don't just play with water, find some topics to talk about, like, do any of you have someone on your mind?"

  As soon as it was mentioned that the daughter's family was the most bashful, everyone's face immediately flushed with a layer of redness, especially Yunshan and Yuxin.

  The group of people who were so noisy just now have all quieted down one by one, and Tang Lin felt very surprised. "Really? Just now they were crazy enough to shout the sky down, but now that it's about their loved ones, how did they all become ladies?"

  Yun Xiang awkwardly said: "What's so good about discussing one's crush, let's talk about something else?"

  Tang Lin said indifferently: "Boss, I like to listen to topics about your crushes today. Yun Xiang, let's start with you, do you have a crush on someone?"

  "This..." Yun Xiang lowered her head, too embarrassed to say anything.

  Tang Lin's commanding tone urged: "Speak quickly!" Tang Dong picked up the frame.

  Yun Xiang didn't dare disobey orders, but at the same time she also wanted to express herself, so she weakly nodded her head, "Yes!"

  "Probably your senior fellow disciple, right?"

  "Huh?" Yun Xiang's eyes widened, "Boss, how did you know?"

  Tang Lin shrugged and said: "Blindly guessing, didn't expect I was right. Yeah, what stage have you all developed to?"

  Yun Xiang's face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Tang Lin, "What development to what extent... Eldest brother, I don't know what you're talking about!"

  "Alright, let's not discuss this!" Tang Lin changed the subject, "Okay, those who have a crush on someone, raise your hand!"

  Yun Xiang was the first to raise her hand, followed by Du Yuan Yuan, and then He Shi Ya, but He Shi Ya raised her hand only after repeated hesitation.

  Tang Lin asked the other three people, "Don't you have any?"

  Yu Xiang's face turned gloomy as she said, "My older brother was once a imperial guard, but he died in the line of duty. Commander Zhang said that the people who killed him were from the Anti-Royal Society. This time I came to participate in the imperial guard selection tournament is because I want to use my position as a guard to completely eliminate the Anti-Royal Society and avenge my brother! Because of this matter, my family has never arranged a marriage for me, so... I don't have a fiancé!"

  Tang Lin sighed and very clearly understood Yu Xin's mood at this moment. The other party's goal was to avenge her brother, while hers was to fulfill her grandfather's wish.

  "What's wrong with you all? Why so down?" Seeing everyone was feeling down because of Yu Xing, Dong Chen Chen immediately livened up the atmosphere, using his own situation to make a point. "As for me, I've been wandering around Jianghu for years, and I'm used to being homeless. What's the difference between having someone who cares about you or not? I, Dong Chen Chen, don't care!"

  "Look at my appearance and figure, who can understand why I don't have a sweetheart!" Mei Chun'er said weakly.

  "Tang Lin encouraged: 'Spring child, don't be discouraged, you will eventually meet your own true love!'"

  Her mood suddenly improved a lot after being encouraged by her, "Hmm, I believe in what Boss said!"

  Tang Lin looked at Du Yuanyuan and asked: "Yuanyuan, the one you have a crush on should be a young master from a wealthy family, right? And I believe he's quite good-looking too!"

  Du Yuanyuan smiled coldly on the surface, his icy demeanor unchanged as always. "If I said that my heart's desire is the Prime Minister's son, would you believe me?"

  Dong Chen sneered, "The imperial court has two prime ministers, one left and one right. I don't know which of the two prime ministers' families this 'prime minister's son' in your mouth belongs to? It seems that these two prime ministers are surnamed Fu and Zhao!"

  Du Yuanyuan didn't directly confront her, she seemed to be hiding something and was afraid of being exposed. "Whether it's the surname Fu or Zhao, what does it have to do with you?"

  Dong Chen sneered, "Don't try to climb up the social ladder with such a poor excuse for an official's son. We won't laugh at you for marrying a poor guy. Stop bragging about being the son of a prime minister, I think even a beggar from the roadside hut is more respectable than you!"

  "Say it again?" Du Yuanyuan's face completely turned cold.

  Dong Chencheng was about to retort, but was stopped by Tang Lin's stern voice, "Dong Chencheng, shut your mouth and don't stir up more trouble!"

  "Oh." Dong Chen reluctantly responded and gave up arguing with Du Yuanyuan.

  Tang Lin gazed at He Shi Ya, who was staring blankly at the water surface with a flower petal on it. Since arriving at the bathhouse, He Shi Ya had not made a sound; she was curious about this quiet, elegant and refined woman. "Shi Ya?"

  He Shiya was not called back to her senses, still staring blankly at the flower petals on the water's surface. Although she was in a bustling world, she had already lived in her own world, oblivious to everything around her, neither hearing nor asking.

  At this time, everyone's eyes fell on He Shiyaa.

  Yu Xiang pushed He Shi Ya's arm and called out: "Shi Ya, what are you thinking about? You're so distracted!"

  Pushed by her like this, He Shiyue came back to herself and only then did she realize that everyone's eyes were on her. She asked in confusion: "Why are you all staring at me?"

  Yun Xiang said: "Everyone is waiting for you!"

  "Huh?!" He Shiyadai furrowed her brow, asking in confusion: "Waiting for what?"

  Yu Xiang said with a smile: "Wait for you to tell your sisters about you and your heartthrob, Shi Ya. Jing Yuanyuan has already spoken up, her heartthrob is the son of the Prime Minister, so what about you? Your heartthrob should be a rich young master, right?"

  As soon as she heard this, He Shiya's face fell, her red lips curled up with a hint of self-mockery, "Having someone in my heart doesn't mean that the person in my heart has me!"

  Tang Lin furrowed her brow, "Your words sound... as if you have a secret crush on someone else!"

  "What?" Everyone was stunned.

  Tang Lin corrected her: "It's secretly liking someone else, but that person doesn't know! Shi Ya, is this your situation?"

  He Shiya wasn't as easily embarrassed as everyone else, perhaps her emotional experiences had been too disappointing for her. She nodded lightly and said calmly: "Boss, you're right, I secretly like someone, but the other person doesn't know!"

  Tang Lin asked: "Have you ever taken the initiative to pursue it yourself?"

  He Shiya shook her head.

  Tang Lin didn't understand, "Why?"

  He Shiya said: "I don't dare, I don't have the courage!"

  "Tang Lin reminded: 'If you don't take the first step, you'll never know if the other person has you in their heart. Unrequited love is really torturous, Shi Ya. If you don't want to bear this torment alone, you should confess your feelings early on. Otherwise, when you finally gather the courage to confess, the other person might already have someone else, and then you'll regret it.'"

  "I think..." He Shuya said with a melancholy expression, "We are not meant to be!" That person had a fondness for men, and liked men rather than women.

  Tang Lin asked in confusion: "Why?"

  "Because he might like men!" He Shiyu wanted to say this, but didn't say it in front of everyone, and instead replied to Tang Lin's question, "Maybe... the door doesn't match the house?"

  Yun Xiang nodded in agreement and said: "A door that doesn't match the house is indeed very difficult to make a beautiful marriage!"

  Du Yuanyuan's face turned cold and she said in a bad mood: "Everyone should care about the person Lao Da cares about, don't say it's yours!"

  "Really?" Being reminded by Du Yuanyuan, Dong Chenchen immediately became curious about Tang Lin's heartthrob. "Then, big brother, do you have a crush on someone?"

  Tang Lin replied succinctly, "Yes!"

  Everyone has become interested and can't wait to learn more.

  Yun Xiang curiously asked: "Then what's his background?"

  Tang Lin replied again very briefly, "I don't know!"

  "Don't know?!" Everyone was incredulous, and Yun Xiang asked around, continuing to press for answers: "If you don't know, then how dare you win the heart of the other party? Are you saying that you, Boss, are just like Shi Ya, secretly liking the other person?"

  Tang Lin immediately denied it, "Nothing of the sort!"

  "What's going on?" Yun Xiang couldn't wait to know all the inside story.

  Tang Lin said: "I have someone I care about, and we are mutually in love. However, currently, neither of us knows the other's family background. We only met at a guest house and a wine tavern, and finally parted ways without saying goodbye at the same places. He left, and I came to participate in the Imperial Guard selection competition, not knowing if we will have another chance to meet again!"

  "How can he be like this? He actually didn't say a word and just left, isn't that intentionally trying to hurt our boss's feelings?"

  He Shiya asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Boss, it seems like the Emperor is quite fond of you. He's prepared clothes for you, allowed you to participate in the first round of competition, and originally wanted to put you under house arrest, but he let you off... all these actions indicate..."

  Tang Lin cut her off and said angrily: "Don't say any more, just mentioning that foolish ruler makes me furious!"

  He Shiya was shocked, "What's wrong with you? You're speaking of the Emperor like that, if someone in the palace hears it, it'll bring disaster upon your head!" Tang Lin's expression and reaction clearly showed he didn't have a good impression of the Emperor.

  Tang Lin reminded everyone, "In short, you have to guard against the emperor and stay away from him. The emperor's thoughts are really unpredictable." Even if he knows you're a woman, he won't tell you; even if it means killing someone, he can do it right in front of you. Such an emperor is terrifying. "Once you don't meet his expectations, you won't even know how you died!"

  Yun Xiang's body turned cold after hearing this, and she rubbed her arms which had already broken out in goosebumps. She said anxiously: "Is it really that serious? The Emperor is a good ruler!"

  Tang Lin said coldly, "Anyway, I've already warned you all. If you want to go and get a better understanding of the Emperor, then go ahead. Whatever consequences come out of it, don't come crying to me. There are some people you can provoke, but there are others... that you absolutely cannot afford to provoke!"

  He Shiya lowered her head and began daydreaming again...

  Midnight hours.

  The agreed time had arrived, but Fu Yushu and Cao Dan, as well as Yun Lei, were still searching for Shao Qi's figure in each tent, having forgotten that the time had already passed.

  Han Xueyan dragged her tired body step by step towards the smallest tent in the corner of the square, with a dejected expression on her face. She walked into the tent like a soulless corpse.

  Shao Qi has returned and plans to spend the night in the palace. He is currently lying in Fu Yu Shu's tent, where he had previously inquired about their whereabouts from Yi Feng. However, upon arrival, he found no one there, which left him somewhat perplexed.

  Hearing a noise, Shao Qi immediately straightened up and looked towards the entrance of the tent, "Who?"
