Even though she didn't have a smile, her gloomy and lifeless face still had a strange beauty to it.

”I don't care about stealing another's wife, but you are Imperial Consort Qiong, and you are my concubine.”

This emperor had always been calm and unperturbed. The fates of others were all within his control with a single thought.

Her normally elegant and beautiful appearance actually gave off a breathtaking aura.

It was extremely moving.

Her slap was so forceful that after a while, the spoon in the white porcelain bowl vibrated, making a crisp sound as it touched the bottom of the bowl.

Mo Hua said: ”With such strength, it looks like my body is almost fully recovered.”

As he spoke, he stopped eating, put down his chopsticks, and stood up.

Ye Qiongjiang saw him walk towards her with large steps, and her tall figure seemed to envelop her in a shroud. She could not help but panic for some reason, ”You, what are you trying to do?”

Each of the palaces, not far from the living room, had a small resting room specially prepared for the court, and was provided with a temporary resting place for the retired court, so that they could be summoned at any time by their master.

After exiting the house, Fang Chun brought along a few palace maids and eunuchs to rest. Some of the smarter ones served snacks and fruits.

At this time, Fang Chun was greeting Elder Qing An, who was coming over, of some pastries, and passing a small plate of thousand layer cake in front of him. She laughed: ”Young Eunuch Qing is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, only this thousand layer cake is different from others in our Jade Dew Hall, it has cherry juice added on top of it, and the taste is very different. ”Hurry up and try it.”

”Thank you, young lady.” Just as Qing An was reaching out to take it with a smile on his face, his eyebrows suddenly twitched, and his hand stopped in mid air. His body seemed to want to stand up, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

”Young Eunuch Qing, what's wrong?” Fang Chun asked curiously.

”Nothing.” Qing An sat back down, picked up a piece of thousand layer cake from the small plate, and took a small bite before praising: ”As expected, the flavor is completely different, the fruit's fragrance is smooth and not greasy.”

He praised it, then laughed, ”Your Majesty will probably spend the night here in Lady Qiong. Maybe, I will have to stay at Miss Fang Chun's place for the night. ”

Fang Chun said joyfully: ”With eunuch's blessings! The house has already been prepared for you. Please follow me! ”

Vermillion Jade Peak.

A fire was burning in the pill furnace with the Bifang pattern engraved on it. The Great Deity Official, who was wearing a black mask, extended his palm and lightly brushed it across the pill furnace. Traces of fiery aura seemed to have been guided by his palm and slowly rose from the pill furnace, condensing into a ball of cold flame light on his palm.

Suddenly, those rising flames fiercely surged out and caused the ball of light gathered in the Great Deity Official's palm to emit a blinding light.

Great Deity Official frowned and turned to look in a certain direction. Although it was a wall, it could not stop his gaze.

”It's my stuff again.” The face under the mask looked helpless.

The ball of light in his palm gradually receded, eventually turning into a glittering golden scale. He gently pinched it, and when he opened his palm, the scale disappeared. Only a bright red pill remained in his hand.

”Follow me!”

Ye Qiongjiang was pulled by Mo Hua and jumped out the window from the back. Avoiding the guards, they rushed straight towards the Vermillion Jade Peak.

Ye Qiongjiang was completely stunned. What was she trying to do?

Mo Hua's cautious way of dodging the guards made her wonder if he was really Mo Hua?

”What are you doing?” Hiding behind a pillar in the corridor, waiting for a group of guards to go past, Ye Qiongjiang couldn't help but lower her voice.

”Why do you care? ”Just follow them.” He pulled her along, and they swam through the palace like a fish.

He would not wait to see the patrolling guards. He would first look for a place to dodge, as if he knew the route of the patrolling guards like the back of his hand. He would memorize every single detail.

To be so familiar with the route, did he always do this sort of thing? Ye Qiongjiang was really curious. So this Iron-Blood Emperor of Da Xia actually liked to play the role of a thief who infiltrated the imperial palace when he had nothing better to do?

Although most of the patrols within the palace could be traced, as an emperor, how could he be so bored to remember all these?

Mo Hua actually had this kind of hobby that few people knew about?
