Chapter 1323: Exposed, Jing Yuheng's Panic

Great Qi Dynasty, Wangdu Wanggong.

After another absurd incident, Chen Chuyang and Qi Ruohua were still the same; wanting another child, Qi Ruohua didn't want Chen Chuyang to leave so soon, and whenever Chen Chuyang tried to go, she gently persuaded him to stay.

In this gentle haven, reluctant to leave, these days Chen Chuyang enjoyed imperial treatment; it was truly exhilarating, and every night he endured a naive, absurd drama, fully aware yet still pretended not to know.

"Absurd life, absurd days, I am sinking more and more, madam."

Qi Ruohua, cradled in his arms, said, "Husband, do you like this kind of life?"

"Ah ha ha, a gentle haven—who wouldn't like it?" Chen Chuyang doesn't deceive himself; if he likes it, he likes it, with nothing to hide.

"But madam, I think Jing Yuheng has definitely noticed; these past two days she's been acting strange," Chen Chuyang voiced his suspicion, quite different from the Jing Yuheng of before.

That woman constantly provokes him; her methods are not simple. Chen Chuyang guesses Jing Yuheng has discovered and is testing him.

Or perhaps she's been suspicious for a while; today her testing was a bit more intense, yet Chen Chuyang held his ground and didn't expose himself. He fears that if he can't hold back and reveals himself, it would be awkward.

"If she discovers it, she discovers it. Jing Yuheng is so clever; she must have known already—she's just testing your reaction. Let her keep testing," Qi Ruohua said nonchalantly.

Regarding Chen Chuyang and her plan being uncovered, she sees no problem; it will be discovered sooner or later, and a person as clever as Jing Yuheng couldn't have missed it.

Qi Ruohua had already prepared herself mentally; later she'll unleash a ruthless move that will make Jing Yuheng fully submit, unable to leave the room. Every time she sees Jing Yuheng stride away, leaving a mess behind, Qi Ruohua gets angry; facing Chen Chuyang alone is truly hard to resist.

Even though her body has grown much stronger, in that regard it still doesn't work.

"Husband, if she discovers it later, you must deal with her harshly. Better yet, tonight you harshly deal with her so she can't get out of bed," Qi Ruohua began to scheme.

She gets most excited when scheming against her own sister.

She has the most devilish ideas, perhaps from long repression; as an emperor she must constantly maintain her dignity and cannot be herself. Qi Ruohua has long wanted to vent, but she doesn't dare do so in front of outsiders.

But in the boudoir, she is unrestrained.

"I can do anything; the question is whether you think she'll agree?"

"She has no choice; even if Jing Yuheng doesn't want to, she must. Husband, you must not hold back; give me a harsh dealing," Qi Ruohua gritted her teeth.

Thinking of the pain she's endured these days, she is so angry she can't find a place to vent.

This score must be settled clearly.

"Understood, madam, aren't you afraid she'll discover your scheme and then not come?" Chen Chuyang asked quietly.

Qi Ruohua blinked, "It's possible. If Jing Yuheng discovers, she'll definitely try to run away. Husband, I won't let her escape; wait for my good news."

After speaking, Qi Ruohua hurried to stand, even if her gait was off, she still rose.

She cannot let Jing Yuheng run away.

Chen Chuyang watched the impatient Qi Ruohua leave, shook his head, then closed his eyes and began to rest.

Rest is cultivation; he cultivates daily, and the technique cannot pause.

His cultivation level keeps increasing.

Opening his eyes again, night fell once more; Chen Chuyang finally reached the crucial moment as hoped. As always, Qi Ruohua came to discuss; he just lies down, no other tasks needed. This time, it's different from before.

"Husband, I'll be watching your performance; remember, you can't let her go free."

"Jing Yuheng sensed something wrong, tried to run, and I caught her. This time, it's on you."

Chen Chuyang nodded, "No problem."

"Later you may act cheaply, no need to care about her," Qi Ruohua instructed again.

"Understood."

Soon, the two entered together, as usual; the Formation activated, and Qi Ruohua took the front position.

Then it was Jing Yuheng's turn; she hesitated, wanting to retreat.

Qi Ruohua gave her no time to back out, gave her a hand, and then pushed her straight onto the bed.

Time passed bit by bit, Chen Chuyang enjoyed himself as Qi Ruohua's voice reached his ears; he opened his eyes and smiled at Jing Yuheng.

Jing Yuheng's pupils widened; in that instant her body tensed, wanting to leave.

But it was too late.

"Madam, you are truly beautiful."

Chen Chuyang gave Jing Yuheng a grin, and Jing Yuheng choked back a sob, her eyes frantic, unwilling to meet his gaze.

She panicked, she was scared; before she had guessed and knew Chen Chuyang was pretending, but when truly faced, she realized she was genuinely panicked.

That panic spread through her whole body and lingered for a long time without easing.

"You..." Jing Yuheng tried to speak, words stuck at the tip of her tongue, unable to utter.

Qi Ruohua walked over then, pressing Jing Yuheng's shoulder, teasing, "Yuheng, didn't you discover it? No need to act."

"You're all husband's women, so you needn't be afraid; this isn't your first time."

A bright laugh echoed throughout the room.

The Formation blocked everything, preventing transmission outside; everything in the room was known only to the three of them.

Jing Yuheng gritted her teeth, "Your Majesty, how can you bully me?"

Her resentful gaze knew this was all Qi Ruohua's scheme.

She was duped by her; although she was mentally prepared, she truly couldn't face Chen Chuyang.

After all, these past days she had been the initiator, the one acting.

It felt like a sneaky cat being discovered— that panic, that fear, that terror.

"Yuheng, I have done this for your own good; you should thank me. If I hadn't generously let you out, do you think you could have gotten a man like my husband?" Qi Ruohua walked to her side, gently saying, "My husband is so outstanding that many women have set their sights on him, yet none have... succeeded. You succeeded, so you should thank me."

"You helped me before; now it's my turn to help you. As sisters, we share fortunes and hardships; I, your elder sister, will not forget you."

Jing Yuheng: "..."

She instantly became an elder sister, leaving Jing Yuheng both laughing and crying.

"Your Majesty, please stop speaking," Jing Yuheng said, extremely shy, not wanting to face it, but Qi Ruohua insisted she confront it; in short, she just wanted to see her joke.

The more Jing Yuheng does this, the more Qi Ruohua wants it; that's what makes it fun.

Husband, from now on, it's up to you. Qi Ruohua nodded at Chen Chuyang, then folded her arms, watching the show.

A good show began.

That night, how much worldly dust was stirred.
