Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 673 Your Majesty is deficient in Qi and Blood
Qin Yu slightly raised her head, her eyes glancing unintentionally at the dragon table out of the corner of her eye.

The empress wore only a plain gauze robe with dragon patterns. She sat with her legs slightly apart, on a gilded dragon-patterned table. Her jade-like legs were crossed diagonally, like the bright moon hidden behind the clouds, stimulating his gaze with their elusive beauty.

"Have you seen enough?"

The Empress's cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was Qin Yu who was disrespectful."

Qin Yu then noticed that the Empress had put down the memorial in her hand and immediately bowed slightly.

"Humph!"

The Empress snorted coldly, and a rustling sound came from under the dragon desk as her jade-like legs were pulled back under her robe.

He looked up again and saw the Empress sitting upright, her robes flowing smoothly to the ground. To his unseen side, on the left hem of her robe, was a crease left from tightly clenched fingers.

Why are you standing so far away?

The Empress's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, her indifferent tone carrying an undisguised emotion: "Come here!"

Qin Yu blinked, somewhat confused, but her body betrayed her by taking a few steps forward and stopping just a few feet away from the dragon table.

At this distance, one could already smell the Empress's faint fragrance without offending her imperial authority.

His gaze shifted subtly upwards; the dragon robe and his everyday clothes were drawn together, revealing only two fat dragons glaring at him.

The next moment, Qin Yu's pupils shrank, and she was surprised to find that the Empress's slender fingers, crossed on her flat stomach, were unconsciously twisting the gold thread on her cuff.

This is……

Are you nervous?
Just now, I let him get closer with a hint of reprimand, just to cover up that emotion?
The woman before him was the Empress of Great Yan; why would she be nervous in front of him?

"Is Your Majesty's hand cold?"

Qin Yu tentatively asked.

"I am a half-deity, impervious to heat and cold, how could my hands be cold?"

The Empress snorted coldly, her fingers involuntarily pausing as she realized her lapse in composure.

"That's not what I meant, Your Majesty. I have some knowledge of pupil techniques; may I take a look for you?"

Qin Yu felt a chill run down her spine, but she forced herself to speak.

In the past, when the Empress summoned him, she would never waste words with him and would always get straight to the point. But today was different.

Thinking back to the Empress's decision to go into seclusion last time, he vaguely guessed what was going on.

"Oh? What do you intend to do for me?"

The Empress narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, exuding a suffocating majesty.

This is the Imperial Study, surely this guy wouldn't be so audacious as to be outrageous?

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yu's hand suddenly covered hers, and a warm body temperature pressed against her slightly cool fingertips.

The warm current within its body seemed to have become more active.

The Empress paused, forgetting to reprimand him for such a disrespectful act.

Qin Yu waited for two breaths, and when she saw that the Empress did not send her flying with a single palm strike, her heart trembled.

"Your Majesty works tirelessly day and night, and I'm afraid you're suffering from a deficiency of qi and blood."

Qin Yu's voice remained respectful, but her fingers boldly slipped between his, their fingers interlocking: "I have some knowledge of massage techniques, and I will now help Your Majesty relieve some discomfort..."

"presumptuous!"

The Empress clearly hadn't expected that the guy who was usually so respectful in front of her would dare to be so presumptuous!
Although……

"I am just a little tired."

The Empress turned around, her back to Qin Yu, her voice indifferent.

Qin Yu was prepared to be blasted away at any moment, but she was surprised to see that the Empress was not furious, and her tense body quietly relaxed.

"Your Majesty is busy with countless affairs of state, working tirelessly day and night."

Looking at the Empress's majestic and graceful back, Qin Yu's lips curled up slightly, but she did not expose her clumsy excuse: "Please allow me to relax Your Majesty's muscles and bones again."

Seeing that the Empress did not reprimand her, Qin Yu mustered up her courage, took two steps forward, walked behind the Empress, and gently placed her hands on the Empress's tense shoulders.

As Qin Yu skillfully applied her technique, the Empress trembled, and her previously taut back relaxed slightly.

This guy……

Each time he undergoes a tribulation, he cultivates for the sake of the warm current.

I almost forgot, he also has this technique!
The Empress did not deny wanting to gain more warmth, but as the ruler, she could not ask for it voluntarily.

Moreover, summoning Qin Yu was already a statement in itself.

As those warm hands pressed down, the Empress let out a barely audible sigh, her entire demeanor softening slightly, like a gentle smile. "Yesterday, something happened in the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom."

Just as Qin Yu pressed her palm down to her lower back, and was even about to continue downwards, the Empress suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

Qin Yu paused.

What does the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom have to do with me?

With the First Emperor overseeing the area, it's not his place to worry about it.

"Someone secretly devoured hundreds of thousands of Qin cultivators, and it was the Qin Emperor's divine sense that personally intervened."

The Empress's eyes regained some clarity, and a hint of majesty emanated from her: "You should know what this is all about."

"The drop of primordial blood essence obtained by the Lord of the Black Soul Palace?"

Qin Yu's pupils contracted, and her hands began to move again. However, sensing the Empress's majesty, she became much more disciplined this time.

"good."

The Empress nodded and said, "I must tell you that the situation on the Immortal Kingdom continent is critical, and I may have to take you out of the palace to investigate at any time."

"I am at Your Majesty's service at any time."

Qin Yu responded respectfully.

"you……"

The Empress paused here, as if struggling with something, and finally said, "Place Xiao Ling'er and your Daoist partners in that space for the time being, so as to avoid being caught off guard later."

"Ok?"

Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat. Was His Majesty hinting at something to him?

Was it because they were worried about being discovered by the Empress Dowager and the Flower Fairy?
Not too possible!

This is the imperial palace!

Given the Empress's temperament, she would never do such a thing except for the reason of the Seven Emotions Tribulation.

"Your Majesty, Yan Li has sent a message."

Just then, Yan Zhi's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

The Empress shuddered, regaining her usual majesty, and sat on the dragon throne.

Seeing this, Qin Yu dared not be presumptuous anymore, took a few steps back, and looked honest and docile.

"Come in."

The Empress glanced at Qin Yu, a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes, and said in a detached voice.

As the door opened, Yan Zhi stepped into the Imperial Study.

"In another city of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, cultivators were swallowed by a blood-red vortex, and the half-saint Qin Chu escaped injured..."

Yan Zhi immediately revealed the information, without concealing anything from Qin Yu's presence.

Clearly, she knew that the Empress wouldn't mind letting Qin Yu know about these matters.

"The Qin Emperor didn't make a move?"

The Empress frowned slightly and asked.

Yan Li did not find the Qin Emperor appear.

Yan Zhi said respectfully.

"I understand."

The Empress nodded and said.

As Yan Zhi left, the Imperial Study fell into silence.

"Your Majesty, I shall return to Ziwei Palace now."

Qin Yu glanced at the dignified and unapproachable Empress out of the corner of her eye, but felt no desire to offend her.

The Empress nodded slightly.

Yesterday, Emperor Qin's actions failed to deter the person behind the Black Soul Palace Master, and the situation was somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Remember what I told you."

Just as Qin Yu was about to leave, the Empress's voice suddenly rang out.
