54: Section 54

Seeing that it was you, Xiao Huang's heart was overjoyed.

“Su Mo, I’m here!”

“The demoness who captured me, I don't know where she went.”

“Now that you're here, quickly, quickly release Your Majesty!”

Looking at Xiao Huang, who was bound tightly, and her fair, slender legs hanging upside down, you felt your nose warm; this pose was simply too alluring.

But you didn't dare to delay, and then went to the dressing table to find a pair of scissors.

The spider silk, having lost its demonic power enchantment, was only as tough as hemp rope, and you easily cut the transparent spider silk binding Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang had been bound for too long, and her body was stiff and numb. The moment she was rescued, she involuntarily fell into your arms.

You felt a wonderful fragrance waft into your nose, and your hands subconsciously embraced Xiao Huang.

“Mm… no!”

Xiao Huang suddenly felt a strong masculine aura wash over her, intoxicating her and making her face flush red.

You only felt the Empress in your arms struggling slightly, her hands weakly pushing you.

Seeing Xiao Huang like this, you were somewhat puzzled, and then you helped her to a nearby chair to sit down.

You didn't know what Yu Luoniang had done to her.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Huang felt her mind in a chaotic mess, Yu Luoniang's words constantly echoing in her ears.

Could it be that the medicine only took effect when she faced a man?

If so, how was she to spend the rest of her life?

Thinking of this, Xiao Huang was terrified.

“Mm, I’m fine, just a bit of pins and needles in my feet.”

It was then that you noticed Xiao Huang's small feet were now only covered by a layer of silk socks, her embroidered shoes having been thrown to the side.

You immediately picked up the embroidered shoes, lifted her slender feet wrapped in silk socks, and personally put the embroidered shoes on Xiao Huang.

“No, don’t…”

Xiao Huang panted heavily, her chest rising and falling.

But you were quick-witted, and had already slipped her jade feet into the small embroidered shoes.

After doing all this.

You heard a barely perceptible sigh.

Regarding Xiao Huang's sudden change, you found it somewhat strange. Wasn't this Empress always decisive and resolute before?

How did she become such a delicate woman now?

“Your Majesty, we should leave here as soon as possible.”

Hearing your urging, Xiao Huang nodded. She also knew that the demoness might return at any time.

Then she forced herself to stand up.

Just as you were about to step forward to help her, Xiao Huang abruptly pushed you away.

“Don’t… don’t touch Your Majesty!”

After speaking, Xiao Huang unnaturally clamped her legs together and stumbled out.

Seeing this, you didn't want to make a fool of yourself and followed behind Xiao Huang.

Unbeknownst to you, the soldiers had already searched their way to the Hanjiang Restaurant.

Seeing Xiao Huang descend the stairs, the soldiers immediately became excited and knelt down in unison.

“Your Majesty, we finally found you!”

At this moment, Xiao Huang's three personal female guards also came to her side, looking at you warily.

Xiao Huang also turned her gaze to the soldiers.

But there was none of that strangeness she felt when she saw you; her heart was as calm as still water.

Could it be that the medicine the demoness made her drink only took effect when she saw the first man?

Thinking of this, Xiao Huang gave you a complex look.

You, at this moment, were completely unaware of Yu Luoniang's actions, and could only follow behind Xiao Huang.

One of the personal female guards could no longer hold back.

“Your Majesty, why are you here?”

“And why is this Third Prince of the former Dynasty following behind you?”

“Could it be that this Third Prince intends to harm Your Majesty?”

The personal female guard knew that Xiao Huang had come here this time to legitimately eliminate you.

In this situation, as long as Xiao Huang gave the order, they would immediately draw their swords and kill you.

The reason would be very sufficient.

They would say you attempted to harm the Empress, and with so many witnesses, there would be no worry of the news being distorted.

Hearing her female guard's voice, Xiao Huang also understood her meaning.

Now, as long as she opened her mouth, Su Mo would be executed on the spot.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Huang's eyes became complex. For some reason, thinking of the taste she had never experienced before, she suddenly became indecisive.

You, at this moment, did not understand the underlying meaning and still wanted to explain yourself.

Just then, Yu Luoniang's voice suddenly reached your ears.

“Sir, don't try to explain; they want to kill you!”

“Listen to me, now, hold the Empress's hand, it can save your life!”

Although you didn't know why Yu Luoniang would say this, you still listened to her.

“Your Majesty, I saved you!”

Then you took a step forward, reached out and grasped the Empress Xiao Huang's soft, jade-like hand. The three female guards had not expected you to be so bold, and for a moment, they forgot to draw their swords.

And with your hand gripping hers, Xiao Huang bit her lip tightly, the intense stimulation making her tremble all over…

“Don’t touch…”

Xiao Huang immediately shook your hand off.

Then she turned and walked downstairs.

Immediately after, a majestic and clear voice spread throughout the Hanjiang Restaurant.

“County Magistrate Su is meritorious in saving Your Majesty, reward him a hundred taels of gold, promote him one rank, and let him be a Scholar-in-waiting at the Hanlin Academy!”

Upon hearing Xiao Huang's words, everyone's ears were filled with disbelief.

What was going on?

Not killing him?

Just then, Yu Luoniang's reminder came to your ear again; she told you everything she had done behind your back, one by one.

It was only then that you suddenly understood.

Although you prided yourself on being upright, after half a year of Yu Luoniang's corruption, you were no longer the pure youth you once were.

You couldn't help but start fantasizing in your heart.

Empress, I really controlled you…

Chapter 65: Summoned into the Palace by the Empress, Where Did You Get Such a Beautiful Woman?

Looking at the Empress's reaction in the scene, Su Mo was somewhat surprised.

Well, well.

He had been curious before about how Empress Xiao Huang and his simulated self became connected.

Now, it seemed the thread of fate was tied.

And in such a strange way.

Then, Su Mo continued to watch the remaining scenes.

…

You didn't have many possessions in Gulan County; changing wet clothes for dry, your daily clothes for all seasons amounted to no more than eight sets.

After packing your things, you followed the Empress's carriage and left Gulan County.

And Zheng Boyuan, on the other hand, had good official luck; before you left, he was promoted by the Empress to be the County Magistrate of Gulan County.

But without Yu Luoniang's help, he was now just a dog without teeth.

After you set off, Yu Luoniang transformed into a thumb-sized spider and burrowed into your headwear.

As for the Five Ghosts, they had no fixed form and could be large or small, attaching themselves to one of your strands of hair.

Yu Luoniang was very excited about going to Kyoto, burrowing around on your scalp.

For her, as long as you could become Emperor, she could become the Imperial Advisor.

After becoming the Imperial Advisor, she would be qualified to collect the scattered Qi of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty's populace.

Cultivating to the end, even Immortal Ascension was not impossible.

Seeing this, you could only feel that Yu Luoniang was somewhat fanciful, after all, you currently had no military power, and even if you were later taken into Xiao Huang's harem, it would be impossible for you to gain even a shred of power.

On the journey back to Kyoto, you didn't see Xiao Huang for more than ten days, perhaps because she was deliberately avoiding you.

You could only ever see the female guards of the imperial carriage going in and out.

Yu Luoniang, on the other hand, kept urging you to actively create opportunities to be alone with Xiao Huang.

You felt annoyed when you heard Yu Luoniang's words.

“Didn’t I unseal fifty percent of your demonic power?”

“Why don’t you help?”

“How can I possibly get close?”

Yu Luoniang's voice was a little aggrieved.

“Sir, it’s not that this servant doesn’t want to help, it’s just that this servant cannot get close to the Empress at all right now.”

“Even if Sir unsealed all of this servant's power, I still couldn't get close.”

“The current plan is for Sir to touch her body more.”

“That way she will quickly fall in love with you.”

After hearing Yu Luoniang's words, you could only nod helplessly.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Yu Luoniang then said nothing more, lying on your scalp and falling asleep.

Around the fifteenth day, you followed the Empress's carriage back to Kyoto.

Some ministers had already learned in advance that you were returning with the Empress.

They found this matter very difficult to understand.

They didn't understand why the Empress hadn't killed you, but instead promoted you.

What happened in between, no one knew.

The Xiao Clan Royal Family had the strongest reaction.

Before entering Kyoto, a group of elders from the Xiao Clan Royal Family knelt before the Kyoto gate.
