Baby, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you to the heavens and the seas!

Flying Eagle blocked the gate leading to the rear garden and said in a deep, cold voice, "The General is handling affairs; none of you should overstep your bounds and obstruct him!"

Mei Ziye and Yang Chenqing knew that military orders were not to be disobeyed, so they could only frown and retreat. "Yes, Your subordinates obey!"

Wanqing entered the hot spring pool in the back garden in less than half a quarter of an hour!

Staring at the steaming, misty medicinal pool, unable to see the person's figure, Wanqing frowned impatiently and plunged into the hot spring to find the person and demand an explanation.

The person who had been questioned was now fast asleep, his long black hair disheveled, his head resting on the carpet by the spring, revealing half of his brightly colored back adorned with the royal insignia.

With a gloomy expression, Wan Qing pushed aside the thick layers of mist, her figure moving like a water snake, silently swimming to Qian Qianluo's side!

Her waist, as smooth as a white snake's belly, was adorned with a brightly colored royal emblem, its dragon and phoenix motifs swirling around her slender spine!

Amidst the extremely decadent and flamboyant depiction, the royal emblem stared solemnly and imposingly at Wan Qing, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression!

Wanqing stared intently at the royal insignia on Qianqian's waist, her hands trembling in disbelief. "How could this be? How could this be?!"

Qianqian was sleeping soundly with her fox-like eyes half-closed when she was woken up by the chill coming from behind her!

She opened her swollen eyes in confusion, and turned around to see the General she had just met that day standing behind her, his face ashen, dumbfounded. "General Wan?!"

Her soft, seductive voice carried the helplessness and bewilderment of someone just awakened, sending a shiver down the spine of any delicate person!

Wan Qing knew that there was nothing shameful about bathing with a man, but the fact that the man was in the brownish-yellow hot spring pool with only half of his collarbone covered in water was enough to make him curse out in embarrassment.

"Outrageous! How dare you expose your body like this and corrupt people's minds?! It's utterly indecent!!!"

The sudden outburst of anger left Qianqianlu bewildered. "No, you... how could you turn around and accuse me?!"

The aggrieved voice carried a hint of accusation, which made Wanqing unable to restrain herself. She tore off her outer robe and threw it at Qianqianluo's head, yelling, "Shameless!" Then she stumbled and fled from the hot spring pool into the back garden!

Qianqian, who was just washing up, ripped off her outer robe and yelled at the top of her lungs, "No way, are you sick?!"

Mei Ziye and Yang Chenqing, who were anxiously waiting in the back garden, became even more worried when they saw General Wan's furious expression. "General, is General Luo alright?!"

Wan Qing looked at Mei Ziye and Yang Chenqing, who were surrounding her, with bloodshot eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "The matter of quelling the rebellion in Mobei will be discussed again at the celebration banquet tomorrow night!"

"Hmph!!!" Wanli glanced at the back garden a few more times, seemingly unwilling, before turning away and leaving!

Yang Chenqing and Mei Ziye were puzzled by Wanqing's unusual behavior, but dared not ask too many questions. They could only step into the back garden to check on Qianqianluo's condition!

Qianqianluo only made a brief appearance at the city gate today, yet her beauty and charm have become legendary among the city's residents!

Some ordinary people even wrote lyrics and music for the songs, which were sung all the way to the capital!

A celestial being from the southern border, attempting to ascend to immortality late at night in his official residence!

With a single palm strike at his waist, he slays a mortal general; the red curtains flutter, the bed shakes, and who knows how many people are surrounding the immortal?!

The immortal from the Southern Frontier, having received divine favor day and night, has ascended to heaven!

With her crimson lips parted and jade-like feet revealed, what mortal wouldn't yearn for immortality?!

……

A celestial general arrived at the high tower in the northern desert. The celestial general was of unparalleled beauty and had an incomparable figure. He was kept in the back garden of the official residence and received countless favors from the generals in the army day and night!

The Imperial Court of the Capital, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace!

Only five or six days later, this vile woman's reputation had dared to spread to the capital?!

Qing Tingyu, supporting her lower back and with her slightly swollen belly, leaned back on the low couch in the inner hall, panting heavily. She then threw all the lewd songs and poems about Qianqianluo that the guards had presented into the stove!

Upon seeing this, Mei Zifeng and Mei Zise, who were serving on either side, knelt down and apologized to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, please calm down! These are mostly ignorant commoners deliberately trying to make fun of General Luo!"

Qing Tingyu rubbed his forehead, his face icy cold, and with a backhand, he threw the bedding, pillows, and red dress that the slut had used onto the bed onto the floor!

Qing Tingyu gritted her teeth, making a grinding sound, and said sarcastically, "Your General Luo is naturally innocent, and the guilty ones are those who harbored such thoughts? Is that right?!"

The Crown Prince's veiled and cold tone sent a chill down Mei Zifeng's spine. "Your Highness, it is General Luo who has acted improperly. I will immediately send a message by hawk to order Ziye to be severely punished!"

Mei Zise, always a straightforward man, didn't understand the reasons and all the intricacies. "Your Highness, this is clearly just lyrics and music written by those petty commoners who are like toads trying to eat swan meat, used to slander General Luo!!"

Qing Tingyu frowned and gritted his teeth as he retorted to Mei Zise, "Then what do you all think is the best way to deal with these people?"

Mei Zise immediately stood up indignantly, "This servant believes that all these people should be castrated... umm..."

Before Mei Zise could finish speaking, Mei Zifeng covered his mouth with her hand and dragged him out of the inner hall. "Your Highness, please forgive me. I will immediately write a letter and go to the Northern Desert!"

Mei Zise: "Ugh, let go of me!"

After everyone had completely cleaned up, some bloody tears had seeped from the corners of Qing Tingyu's eyes. He gritted his teeth, remained expressionless, and staggered off the bed, turning over to lie down on the floor to sleep!

He grabbed the bedding and pillows that wretched woman had used, and brought the red dress she had worn before leaving to his nose to sniff. "Five or six days have passed and you still haven't bothered to send me a letter home. You are truly cold-hearted and heartless, turning your backs on your master!"

"Ha~ Hmm~" Qing Tingyu rolled over, burying her head in the mattress, her lips and teeth filled with the bright red fabric of her wedding dress, and a surge of heat rushed in with extraordinary intensity!

A lone moon hangs high in the sky, and amidst the bleak autumn wind, a bustling scene unfolds inside the tower in the desolate northern desert!

In the front garden of the official residence, the sounds of string and wind instruments and drums, mingled with the aroma of wine, intoxicated and bewildered passersby!

At the celebratory banquet, Wanqing sat high on the stage!

Yang Chenqing, Mei Ziye, and Qianqian sat on the left side of the palace steps leading up to the platform.

Flying Eagle, accompanied by the generals who had been stationed in the northern desert in the early years, sat on the right side of the palace steps leading up to the platform!

Qianqianluo glanced at the generals opposite her, who were mostly descendants of powerful or minor clans in the capital. She couldn't help but sigh at the ruthless methods of the Qingting Dynasty emperor, who had moved the entire Mo clan to the capital and exterminated them all!

Qianqian poured herself one glass of strong liquor after another, drinking several glasses without realizing she was drunk.

Seeing Qianqian drowning her sorrows in alcohol, Mei Ziye took away the half-empty pot of wine from her table. "You're as weak as a woman, and you still dare to drink more?!"

Yang Chenqing also seemed to have some concerns, and gently advised Qianqian Luo, "Autumn is here and the frost is cold. Drinking alcohol is bad for your health. General Luo, please have some warm tea to warm your stomach!"

On the stage, Wan Qing looked at Yang Chenqing and Mei Ziye showing such concern for Qianqianluo, and her face grew even colder!
