Ye Jingtang carried the empress to the sliding door, opened the tiger head mechanism, and carried her into the small bathing pool. He placed her on the chaise longue beside him. Then, without any reminder, he took out a cloth and covered his eyes.

The empress wanted to take off her dress herself. She found that Ye Jingtang was quite self-aware, so she immediately pulled open her belt.

Whoosh-

The belt was pulled away, and the fiery red dress slid off her delicate skin, revealing her fair, smooth, and pear-like figure.

The upper half of her body was a small undergarment made of red muslin, and the lower half was a pair of small side-tie panties. The style was the same as last time, but the difference was that this time, in order to match the dragon robe, the smallclothes had golden dragon embroidery patterns. It was unknown whether they should be described as domineering or coquettish.

Ye Jingtang’s movements were clean and neat. With his extraordinary senses and experience, he accurately locked onto the ties without looking. He helped Yuhu up by her shoulders, untied her undergarment from behind, and pulled left and right on the small red cloth.

The empress instinctively clamped her legs together. Ye Jingtang’s movements in taking off her panties were so fast that she was inevitably stimulated. She couldn’t help biting her red lips.

She realized that in the blink of an eye, she had been stripped clean before she could say anything. The empress wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she sighed. “Ye Jingtang, your skills in taking off clothes have improved even more than your martial arts. Did you specially practice this?”

Ye Jingtang’s left hand passed under the crook of her legs, and he carried the not-so-light Little Tiger Girl horizontally. “Don’t joke around. I’ve stepped into the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man. My senses have become more developed, so my movements are naturally faster.”

The empress wasn’t a silly girl. She understood that only practice makes perfect with this skill, but she didn’t mind too much. She leaned on his shoulder, held her watermelons in her hands to avoid them touching Ye Jingtang’s chest, and waited for him to put her in the pool.

But what she didn’t expect was that when Ye Jingtang lowered her down with his arms, just as her butt touched the water, he lifted her up a little.

Whoosh-

The white mist in the pool water immediately rippled when her butt touched it. ??

The empress instinctively straightened her back, and her eyes revealed a hint of shyness and anger. “What’s the matter?”

Ye Jingtang said with a calm expression, “The pool water seems to be hotter than last time. Is it hot?”

“?? Can’t you test it yourself?! If I lie down like this, won’t I be scalded?”

“I’m holding you right now. Besides, people have different tolerances. 1 don’t think it’s hot, but you may not think so.”

As Ye Jingtang spoke, he prepared to put her back on the chaise longue.

The empress didn’t know what to say. She didn’t continue talking nonsense with Ye Jingtang and directly said, “It’s not hot.”

Plop!

She was thrown into the pool.

Ye Jingtang turned around and picked up the box containing Snow Lake Powder from the small table. “How much should I pour in?”

The empress’s expression was slightly complicated. She felt that if Ye Jingtang were really a noble consort and didn’t even know how to ‘handle her with care’, she would definitely throw him into the cold palace in less than three days. “You can pour it all in. Although this item isn’t even one percent as effective as the Snow Lake Flower, and the treatment process is long, the advantage is that it’s relatively cheap to make. You can have as much as you want.”

Ye Jingtang poured all the Snow Lake Powder in the box into the pool water and stirred it evenly with his hand. “Researching Snow Lake Powder might have injured countless lives, but it’s indeed a good formula with eternal use. Not only can it restore people’s meridians, but it can even treat many ordinary people with damaged meridians. I think this thing should be spread as soon as possible to save lives and heal the injured.”

The empress leaned against the edge of the bathing pool and covered her chest with her hands. “The Imperial Court doesn’t lack this source of wealth. Take the formula and get the Red Flower Pavilion to recruit apothecaries to create a large medicine shop to manufacture it. As for spreading it to the world, with the Red Flower Pavilion’s connections everywhere, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

Ye Jingtang understood the value of Snow Lake Powder. To be able to specialize in manufacturing Snow Lake Powder under the special permission of the Imperial Court, the Red Flower Pavilion probably wouldn’t have to run a shipping business in the future. Just this alone could support the family business. “Thanks.”

“Don’t thank me too early. The Red Flower Pavilion has taken this medicine and has to pay the commercial taxes on time. The people who were harmed because of researching this medicine must also receive pensions from the Red Flower Pavilion. In the future, the price can’t be too high, and the quality must be guaranteed. If anything goes wrong, I won’t plead for you…”

The two of them chatted in the bathroom. Ye Jingtang was blindfolded and couldn’t see anything, but his heart didn’t waver.

The empress had a powerful aura. This wasn’t the first time they had met candidly, and her demeanor gradually became natural.

After saying a few words, the empress thought of something and said, “Daoist Xuanji is accompanying the empress dowager. She may come over to visit later. If we bump into her, 1 won’t be able to explain myself even if 1 jump into the Clear River. You should go out.”

Ye Jingtang immediately stood up, bade farewell, walked out of the door, and pulled down his blindfold in front of the door.

Seeing this scene, the empress suddenly recalled when Liren barged in. Her heart stirred slightly. She first covered her chest and the white jade tiger with her hands before deliberately saying, “Wait!”

“Hmm?” Ye Jingtang turned around subconsciously, but this time, his reaction was extremely fast. Just as he moved, he turned his head back and faced the sliding door. He said in fear, “What’s the matter?”

“Heh~! I’m just testing your reaction.” The empress smiled, moved her hands away, leaned against the edge of the bathing pool, and tilted her head slightly. “Your performance this time was not bad. It’s just that you’re a little stupid. You didn’t even know to eat it when it was brought to your mouth.”

“Sigh…” Ye Jingtang had nothing to say.. He opened the door and quietly walked out…
