Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 579 Turning a Blind Eye
The Empress gently raised her eyelids and looked at Qin Yu and the Empress Dowager, her eyes revealing a hint of unconcealed worry.

"I will accompany her."

Looking at Qin Yu, who sat there like a wooden sculpture, the Empress got up and walked over. She then tried to help the Empress Dowager to the bed.

However, the Empress Dowager held Qin Yu's arm tightly and did not move an inch.

"Your Majesty, perhaps... this is how it should be?"

Qin Yu smiled helplessly. As the Empress moved, his arm involuntarily sank into that heavy embrace of trust.

He caught the subtle change in the Empress's expression.

But it's really not his fault. He didn't move an inch. If anyone's to blame, it's... the great phoenix was just too majestic.

It's really killing me.

Why test him like this?

The Empress frowned, wishing she could wake the Empress Dowager, but looking at that somewhat tired and delicate face, she ultimately couldn't bear to.

If it weren't for dealing with the Taosha, which possessed the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation.

Although Xiangrui has a noble bloodline, it lacks combat experience, which is why this happened.

The reason she clung to Qin Yu so tightly was simply because being close to him relieved the pain caused by the bloodline curse.

The Empress could not bear to see the Empress Dowager suffer in pain and torment.

The flying boat darted past and soon returned to the capital of the Great Yan Empire.

Over the next few days, the Empress tried various methods to remove the bloodline curse from the Empress Dowager.

However, whether using rare and precious materials or treasures from the royal family's resources, it had almost no effect, and was even less effective than Qin Yu's true essence.

Clearly, the bloodline curse of the ancient ferocious beasts cannot be alleviated by these things.

During this time, although the Empress Dowager refused to say anything, Xiao Ling'er noticed her unusual behavior.

The Empress was even more troubled. How could she explain this to Xiao Ling'er?

Fortunately, Xiao Ling'er didn't seem to mind the Empress Dowager's close contact with Qin Yu; in fact, she seemed quite pleased with it.

And as for Yin Qinghe and the others, it goes without saying.

They seemed to be used to it and had no objections; at most, they were only slightly surprised when they first saw it.

After all, the Empress Dowager is of noble status, and even though she was very close to Qin Yu in the past, she rarely behaved in such an intimate way.

What troubled the Empress most was that, in order to take care of the Empress Dowager, Qin Yu stayed in Yuhua Palace day and night during this period and did not even return to that space.

Because as soon as he left, the Empress Dowager's face would turn pale instantly, clearly indicating that she was enduring great pain.

Yuhua Palace.

The night was as dark as ink, and the candlelight flickered in the palace.

The Empress Dowager leaned quietly on Qin Yu's arm, listening to him tell stories, a scene of peace and harmony.

Not long after Xiao Ling'er and her wives returned to their natal space, the Empress appeared right on time.

She wasn't worried that Qin Yu would do anything excessive to the Empress Dowager.

After all, this guy usually behaves properly and is very respectful, and he wouldn't do anything out of line under my nose.

"His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager pouted slightly and wisely loosened her grip a little.

This is an instinctive reaction to being scolded too many times.

The Empress nodded slightly, not daring to look at them any longer, because if she looked at them for too long, she would really want to separate them.

"This is the Dew of the Radiant Light, which may help you remove the curse on your bloodline."

The Empress took out a crystal-clear jade bottle containing a pool of pale green liquid, which shimmered with a faint turquoise halo, as if stars were flowing within it.

The Radiant Dew is a unique and magical substance belonging to the ancient Ye family, a blessed land. Only one drop can be condensed every hundred years. Although it is not as miraculous as the legendary Fountain of Life of the Elf race, it has the effect of restoring vitality and removing curses.

Even for the most powerful beings of all races, obtaining a single drop would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Yet, the Empress possessed a whole small bottle of it!

"Your Majesty, I am fine, there is no need to waste my time."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and refused.

These past few days, the Empress has used too many rare and precious herbs on her, but she can feel that even with this bottle of Radiant Dew, it won't have much effect on the bloodline curse.

"Just pour it into the water and go take a bath."

The Empress did not say much, but placed the jade bottle in the Empress Dowager's hand and said calmly.

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips, unscrewed the bottle, and a rich vitality emanated from it, like a spring breeze brushing against withered trees, causing the flowers and plants outside the palace to quietly sprout new buds.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, and the heat in her body calmed down considerably.

Clearly, this radiant dew is indeed miraculous, its value even beyond measure in terms of spirit stones.

"Oh~"

The Empress Dowager responded softly, then released Qin Yu's arm and casually untied the bindings of her phoenix robe.

"Go behind the screen!"

The Empress's voice turned cold; she was barely able to contain her anger.

This is really going too far!

If it weren't for the fact that she was injured, I would have really given her a good scolding!
"Qin Yu is not an outsider."

The Empress Dowager pouted and whispered her explanation.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was immediately ashamed.

Your Majesty, please let me explain. I really didn't teach it.

"I don't want to say it a second time."

The Empress suppressed her anger. This foolish auspicious creature had no idea that Qin Yu, who only appeared honest and docile, was actually quite different from that respectful person behind the scenes!

"Then I'll return it to you."

The Empress Dowager reluctantly handed over the jade bottle in her hand.

"Are you threatening me?"

The Empress's body trembled slightly. She was so worried, yet the other woman acted as if she didn't care at all. It was infuriating!

In the end, the Empress Dowager chose to compromise, walking towards the screen with several glances back. She opened her mouth as if to call Qin Yu over, but under the Empress's impending outburst, she swallowed her words.

"Qin fish".

Hearing the sound of water coming from behind the screen, the Empress turned her gaze to Qin Yu.

This guy, though he's not exactly honest.

However, it is truly surprising that he was able to maintain his composure after so many days of the Empress Dowager clinging to him so much.

The Empress originally thought...

It would be a lie to say that she didn't indulge in it at all.

After all, she had personally experienced the many benefits of the warm current, and perhaps it could even remove the bloodline curse?

That's why the Empress turned a blind eye.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Yu became serious at this moment.

What are you trying to do?
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Qin Yu didn't dare to raise his head; he didn't want to offend the Empress at this moment.

"you……"

The Empress paused, but couldn't help asking, "Are you confident you can help the Empress Dowager remove the curse?"

"This……"

Qin Yu was momentarily confused about what "Empress" meant.

After all, there were some things he had never openly discussed with the Empress, and each time it happened during his tribulation.

Afterwards, the Empress seemed to remember nothing, and he never mentioned it, as if those things had never happened.

"I am not sure as well."

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

That bloodline curse was the Taosha's last act of retaliation before its death, formed from the bloodline of an ancient ferocious beast.

To be honest, he had never encountered this before and didn't know if the warm current would have any effect.

However, the warm current is extremely magical; it can easily heal injuries that seem uncontrollable to the world, and can even improve one's physical constitution.

Perhaps it also has a certain suppressive effect on the power of curses.

"How did you resolve Ling'er's physical issues?"

The Empress pondered for a moment, then asked.

She was certain that Qin Yu had not done anything excessive to Xiao Ling'er.

However, Xiao Ling'er's innate ice and fire Daoist body has now been suppressed, and has even returned to normal.

If things continue like this, it might not be long before Ling'er is able to try cultivating.

"Perhaps it's because my space is rather unique?"

Qin Yu thought for a moment and then said.

He never intended to hide these things from the Empress, after all, the two knew each other inside and out.

The Empress nodded silently. She had already figured it out; the reason she asked was just to find a way out.

A moment later, she was certain that the Radiant Dew she had given to the Empress Dowager had no effect whatsoever.

Behind the screen, the Empress Dowager's breathing was noticeably unsteady.

"Why don't you take the Empress Dowager in and give it a try?"

After a long silence, the Empress took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"what?"

Qin Yu was taken aback. He was to take the Empress Dowager to her natal space?

Hasn't His Majesty always opposed sending the Empress Dowager to that space?
Is this... a sign that you've figured it out?

The Empress glanced at Qin Yu indifferently, turned around, and disappeared from the palace.

This guy's eyes changed instantly when he heard that he was to take the Empress Dowager to that space.

She simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

The Empress really didn't want the Empress Dowager to go to that space with Qin Yu. In the past, she was worried that the auspicious omen would be wasted, let alone now that she was so clingy.

However, she had already tried every possible method.

There's really nothing I can do.

Auspicious omens have a great impact on the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom and even on the human race.

If the power of auspicious bloodlines is affected by a bloodline curse, it would be a great loss for all races!

Moreover, even disregarding Xiangrui's identity, based solely on this sentiment, the Empress could not bear to watch the Empress Dowager suffer so much.

"Your Majesty, please come and help me up."

Just as Qin Yu was lost in thought, the Empress Dowager's weak voice came from behind the screen, pulling him back to reality.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has already departed."

Qin Yu slowly exhaled and reported softly.

"His Majesty...is he gone?"

The Empress Dowager seemed to be stunned for a moment. For the past few nights, His Majesty had stayed by her side, never leaving her side.

Why did they just leave like that?
Soon, the Empress Dowager emerged gracefully from behind the screen, her magnificent phoenix robe completely covering her.

Actually, she didn't mind being natural in front of Qin Yu, but she really didn't want to show the hideous black mark on her shoulder, let alone let Qin Yu see it.

However, little did the Empress Dowager know that in Qin Yu's eyes, the black mark did not diminish her charm at all; on the contrary, it added a touch of indescribable allure...

Charm.
