Chapter 429: Chapter 176: Breaking Through the Empress’s Last Line of Defense! Lin Jingzhu: Where is my husband? _3
Chen Mo straddled her waist and said, "It’s not very convenient through the Palace Gown, your highness, rest assured, I won’t take any improper looks."
The Empress’s face was slightly flushed, and she said angrily, "Liar! I don’t believe you!"
Although she was a bit shy, thinking that he could see through this Zhai Clothing, it seemed it didn’t make much difference whether she wore it or not...
Click—
At this moment, the tie on her back suddenly loosened.
The Empress was immediately shocked, "Why are you undoing my underwear?!"
"Uh, it’s a bit in the way, anyway, you have your back to me, so don’t worry about exposure..."
Chen Mo was speaking while staring at the scene in front of him, his eyes somewhat dazed.
Her fair skin seemed meticulously sculpted like Sheep Fat Jade, smooth and delicate, without a trace of flaw, flowing gracefully and beautifully, quickly narrowing at the waist, forming a breathtaking curve.
Now, having lost the restraint of the underwear, he could even clearly see the curves on both sides overflowing...
He took a deep breath, calming the restless fire in his heart.
Heat gathered in his palm, continuously massaging and pressing pressure points.
The Empress buried her cheeks in the pillow, forcefully enduring without making a sound.
This feeling was completely different from massaging through clothing, the slightly rough palms moving on her spine, tingling like electric currents spreading all over her body.
Suddenly, Chen Mo’s fingertips touched both sides—
?!
The Empress’s body trembled suddenly.
"Little thief!!"
"My hand slipped..."
"You’re definitely doing it on purpose!"
"..."
The Empress was both shy and angry.
She knew this little thief was not honest, but she didn’t expect him to be so bold!
Feeling the increasingly hot breath behind her, she was a bit flustered and confused. What if this little thief couldn’t hold back, let his beastly nature take over, and did something bad to her?
If she called for help, not only would their relationship be exposed, the little thief would also be thrown into Heavenly Prison.
But she couldn’t just let him mess around either, right?
"Chen Mo, calm down!"
"Rest assured, your highness, I am very calm."
"..."
Chen Mo recited the Supreme Heart-Cleansing Mantra, suppressing the restless emotions.
Food should be eaten bite by bite, the Empress was already thin-skinned, especially with Lin Jingzhu still in the palace, moderation was better, overdoing it would only have side effects.
Speaking of which, it had been so long, he didn’t know if she had woken up.
Chen Mo just released his Divine Sense and was ready to investigate, his pupils suddenly shrank as he discovered Lin Jingzhu was already outside the room door!
"Oh no!"
He was so engrossed earlier that he had not noticed the movement outside.
Seeing she was about to push the door open, it was clearly too late to get dressed now...
"Fortunately, this little thief was somewhat measured..."
The Empress had just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly felt darkness above her.
A quilt covered her head, and immediately, Chen Mo pressed onto her body, the heat fitting perfectly into the full moon—
"Huh?!"
The Empress’s body stiffened, stammering, "Little thief, what are you, you going to...mm!"
Before she could finish, Chen Mo covered her mouth, and whispered into her ear, "Your highness, don’t make a sound, Lin Catcher is here."
Squeak—
Upon hearing the door opening, the Empress’s heart suddenly clenched, her gaze full of panic.
If Lin Jingzhu saw her like this, she would have no face to be seen ever again!
"Strange, I clearly heard a noise just now, how come there’s no one?"
Lin Jingzhu walked into the room, but did not see anyone.
Walking around the center enamel screen, she reached out and lifted the bed curtain, her expression froze.
She saw Chen Mo lying on the bed, covered by a quilt, only his head exposed outside, forcing a smile and saying, "Lin Catcher, you’re awake?"
At this moment, if Lin Jingzhu just lifted the quilt, she would see the Busty Empress pressed beneath him...
Looking at that handsome face, Lin Jingzhu’s eyes lost focus for a moment, murmuring softly, "If this were a dream, I really wish I would never wake up."
Chen Mo: ?
It seemed this girl was mentally scattered, taking everything as an illusion.
Lin Jingzhu reached out and lightly touched Chen Mo’s face, her pale lips parting slightly, murmuring:
"Mr. Chen, if only you were by my side."
"I have so many things I want to say to you, I want to handle cases with you, I want to drink with you, I want to be held in your arms..."
As she spoke, large tears rolled down her cheeks, her voice slightly trembling, "Unfortunately, by the time I understood my own feelings, it was already too late..."
Chen Mo heard this and fell into silence.
Lin Jingzhu lost her father at a young age, her family fell into decline, and she herself carried a Chill Toxin, always facing the possibility of death... Under many factors, she developed this kind of character that treats life and death with indifference.
For her, if she could die for a noble cause, at least her death would have some worth.
This seems carefree, but in reality, it reflects extreme pessimism about the future.
Until she met Chen Mo, who completely changed her life, reigniting her hope for the future.
Thus, she felt both affection between a man and a woman for Chen Mo, and a strong dependence, after all, this was the man who gave her a second chance at life.
Looking at her delicate and tear-stained face, Chen Mo’s expression showed some reluctance.
He wanted to tell her he was still alive, but hesitated for fear of exposing the Empress hidden under the blanket. At that moment of indecision, suddenly, a warm set of lips landed on his.
Chen Mo: ???
Lin Jingzhu shut her eyes tightly and trembled, saying, "If it’s an illusion, then kissing shouldn’t matter, right?"
Under the blanket, the Empress was almost squashed like a pomelo cake, and upon hearing Lin Jingzhu’s confession, she felt somewhat conflicted.
However, the more she listened, the stranger it seemed.
"Hold on, what does ’kissing shouldn’t matter’ mean?"
"What exactly are these two doing?!"
The Empress perked up her ears, and through the blanket, she faintly heard a "sizzle~" sound...
She was all too familiar with this sound!
This little thief was actually snuggling up against her while kissing Zhu’er?!
This is utterly outrageous!
The Empress felt both sour and angry, and reaching back directly with her hand—
?!
Chen Mo turned pale.
But in this situation, to avoid exposure, he could only endure it...
The Empress realized the two were still unwilling to stop, her heart filled with increasing annoyance. She could no longer hold back, turning around directly to wriggle downward.
Thankfully, Lin Jingzhu’s eyes were closed, and with the blanket as cover, she did not notice anything amiss.
"What is Your Highness doing?"
Chen Mo hadn’t reacted yet, suddenly felt a slight chill...
Then...
(O_o)?
"Your, Your Highness?!"
...
An hour later.
Lin Jingzhu, her spirit still not calm, fell back into a deep sleep.
Once Chen Mo made sure she was truly asleep, he lifted a corner of the blanket and said, "Your Highness, you can come out now."
After a while, a muffled voice came from below, "First, turn your head away, no peeking."
"Alright."
Chen Mo turned as she commanded.
The Empress first stuck out her head from the blanket, confirmed that he wasn’t peeking, then lifted the blanket completely, grabbed a handkerchief to wipe herself and quickly dressed.
Little did she know that under the Divine Sense’s coverage, Chen Mo saw everything clearly.
His mood that had just calmed down stirred again.
The Empress’s face blushed transparently, gingerly climbed off the bed, not daring to look at Chen Mo and left the room without turning back.
Shutting the door, she leaned against it, her chest heaving rapidly.
Thinking of the earlier scene, she wished she could find a crack to crawl into.
Originally, seeing Chen Mo and Lin Jingzhu being intimate, her anger rose uncontrollably. She decided to teach that little thief a lesson and turned into a mischiefmaker.
But gradually things started going awry...
That little thief actually was in her chest...
It was utterly ridiculous!
The Empress’s body still felt weak, she exhaled and walked through the palace corridors towards Xuanqing Pool.
Meanwhile.
Chen Mo intended to get up and leave, but Lin Jingzhu seemed to sense something, firmly holding his arm, unwilling to let go, still murmuring "Honey, don’t leave" and the like...
Helplessly, Chen Mo had to lie beside her.
The events of today truly took him by surprise, first joining in, then ending in chaos, followed by an unexpected porridge loss...
It’s likely that Your Highness won’t have the nerve to face him in the short term...
Looking at the girl sleeping soundly beside him, his gaze was complex, he sighed faintly.
"Forget it, let’s take it step by step."
...
...
The next morning.
Chen Mo, in a drowsy state, felt a little hand pinching and probing around his face.
Opening his eyes, he saw Lin Jingzhu putting her fingers near his nose, sensing his breath, her clear eyes filled with perplexity and confusion.
Seeing him wake up, she foolishly asked, "Honey, is it you who came to life, or me who died?"
Chen Mo: "..."
