Fairy, please don't do this!

Because of this leaning posture, the collar of the dress was slightly open, revealing the deep red bodice that bulged as if it were about to burst, and the fair, snow-white skin was faintly visible.

Gu Jinzhao wrapped his right arm around her slender waist and stroked her smooth back through her dress: "After all, Aunt Luo is half of the late emperor's widow. Your Majesty should not be able to accept this!"

A faint blush rose on Luo Yirao's beautiful face, and her voice softened slightly: "But we still have to fight for it."

"Otherwise, do you want your aunt to follow you around without any official status for the rest of her life?"

Gu Jinchao feigned confusion and said, "I call you Aunt Luo, isn't that a formal title?"

Luo Yirao raised her hand and pinched the soft flesh of his waist, her tone quite unfriendly: "You little rascal, you kissed and touched your aunt, and even repeatedly profaned and crossed the line. Do you want to shirk responsibility?"

"You make it sound like you've really done something to me..." Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly, "I would like to take responsibility, but I'm afraid Aunt Luo wouldn't agree!"

Luo Yirao snorted coldly: "Whether you are willing or not is one thing, and your attitude is another."

Gu Jinzhao sighed, raised his hand to hold the deep red full moon in his hands, and gently protected it: "Even if you want to express your attitude, you shouldn't do it in front of Your Majesty."

"If Your Highness can accept it, that's fine. But if things go wrong, I'm afraid Aunt Luo and I will really have to sever ties."

Luo Yirao's delicate body trembled slightly, and the blush on her face intensified, as if she had been adorned with the finest rouge, making her breathtakingly beautiful: "Do you really think that Your Highness... doesn't know how close we are?"

She did not stop the little rascal from overstepping his bounds.

Because her earlier display of affection had caused the man in front of her to feel somewhat dissatisfied, she could only offer him some sweetness as compensation.

Gu Jinzhao's hand gradually closed: "What do you mean by that, Aunt Luo?"

In fact, Xiao Qingyi already knew that his relationship with Luo Yirao was rather ambiguous, which was why she warned him not to get too close to her.

Luo Yirao's eyes trembled slightly, and she blushed as she glared at him reproachfully: "Your Majesty is all-powerful; nothing that happens in the Cangyue Dynasty can escape her notice."

Gu Jinzhao feigned surprise, instinctively clutching the maternal love she couldn't grasp with one hand: "Aunt Luo, do you mean that Her Majesty already knows about our relationship?"

Luo Yirao's delicate body trembled slightly, and her beautiful face, flushed with rosy hues, became even more alluring in the candlelight: "Your Majesty should know some things... but not all of them."

Gu Jinzhao raised her free left hand and, through the deep red ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), stroked those long, voluptuous legs: "So how much do you know, including my identity?"

What is his identity?

It is naturally the fake heir of the Prince of Zhenbei!

In fact, Gu Jinchao had some suspicions that Xiao Qingyi already knew this identity, and even knew that the Qingzhou fortune was within him.

Why this speculation?

This is because Xuan Ye, the previous supervisor, was well-versed in the secrets of heaven and had reached a level of unfathomable wisdom.

Aunt Ruo appeared in Qingzhou and rescued him at Xuan Ye's behest!

After reaching a preliminary deal with Yue'e, the [Earthly Branches Mirror] fell into his hands, and Xuan Ye's influence was also present in it.

Most importantly, the person holding the [Heavenly Stem Mirror] is Empress Dowager Xiao Qingyi, who is also the true ruler of the Cangyue Dynasty.

Through the realm of the mind, the destinies of the two seem to be bound together by an unseen hand, forming a thread of fate.

Thus, Gu Jinchao suspected that Xuan Ye had long known about the Underworld God Cult's plot, and knew that the Prince of Zhenbei had cooperated with them to steal the dynasty's fortune and implant it into his body as the fake prince.

As the person who helped Xuan Ye ascend to the pinnacle of imperial power, Xiao Qingyi was very likely aware of the secret that destiny resided within her.

As for why she didn't attack him, it was because the mysterious power within him could help her suppress her mad desires.

In this way, a perfect closed loop is formed.

But Gu Jinchao had a question.

Since Xuan Ye already knew everything, why did he allow the nation's destiny to be stolen?

Could it be that they have other plans?

Or is it that you know you can't stop it?

According to Gu Jinchao, in addition to the Underworld God Cult and the Prince of Zhenbei, there was also a former dynasty's forces that stole the nation's destiny back then!

That's right, it's the Heavenly Mother Cult!

Without the help of the Heavenly Mother Cult, things would not have gone so smoothly.

With Tianmu and Shi Youming, both of whom are of the highest rank, present, even if Xiao Qingyi's martial arts are divine, she cannot gain any advantage.

However, to Gu Jinchao's surprise, the Heavenly Mother did not intervene in that great battle.

Therefore, one of the two second-grade Dao Seeking Realm cultivators from the Underworld God Sect died and the other was injured, and Shi Youming was even injured by Xiao Qingyi.

"If Her Majesty knew your identity as the Heir Apparent of the Prince of Zhenbei, why would she be so close to you?"

"As for our relationship, you should only see the surface of that ambiguous relationship."

Luo Yirao leaned her head on Gu Jinzhao's shoulder, her red lips parted slightly, and her breath was as sweet as orchids.

As they spoke, the alluring woman lifted her skirt, revealing a pair of sexy legs encased in glossy silk stockings.

Then she took his hand and gently stroked it.

The cool, silky feel of the silk stockings, combined with the warmth and smoothness of her skin, made Gu Jinzhao's heart flutter, and his eyes gradually turned fiery: "Even so, Aunt Luo's identity is so sensitive. If we get too close, we might be criticized."

Even if they know, what can they do?

"With the power of the Empress and the Luo family, who dares to stand up and criticize them?"

Seeing that this little rascal was aroused by her teasing, Luo Yirao curled her lips, which were painted with bright red lipstick, into a seductive smile.

She could already sense that Gu Jinchao was becoming increasingly powerless against her mature and beautiful "Aunt Luo".

With just a little more effort, we can quickly make him submit.

'It's not for nothing that I wear ice silk stockings every time I come to see him!'

'Indeed, even the most brilliant and talented man cannot escape the allure of beauty…'

Luo Yirao narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering to herself.

She had Gu Jinzhao completely under her control.

She first approached him by claiming to be his mother's best friend, allowing him to experience the hard-won family affection.

Then, by creating various romantic and ambiguous situations on a daily basis, she made him develop romantic feelings for her.

With two emotions intertwined, coupled with the influence of the "Heavenly Mother Sacred Heart Technique," how could this little rascal, who lacked maternal love since childhood and was fond of mature women, resist?

"Aunt Luo should know that Emperor Yongxing has long regarded me as a thorn in his side."

"If we make a big deal out of this, it could be extremely bad..."

Gu Jinzhao seemed extremely infatuated with those beautiful legs encased in glossy stockings. His hand unconsciously traced the plump thighs, across the soft curves of the legs, and finally landed on the delicate calves, caressing them back and forth.

In fact, it is true.

After all, who would have thought that this beautiful woman, dressed in a deep red ruqun, would be wearing a pair of gossamer-thin silk stockings on her legs hidden under the hem of her skirt?

She appears dignified and beautiful on the outside, but is actually alluring and seductive on the inside.

Combined with the unique charm and mature allure of a beautiful woman, it is already captivating and enchanting.

"Cuckoo..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yirao chuckled.

Because of this laugh, a flurry of flowers trembled, and her voluptuous and beautiful body swayed and exuded fragrance, which caused the strapless bra to suddenly snap.

Suddenly, a flawless full moon appeared in mid-air, rippling like water.

Gu Jinchao's gaze was instantly drawn to it, and he couldn't look away.

Luo Yirao noticed his burning gaze, looked down and her cheeks flushed. She quickly raised her hand to cover his eyes: "What are you looking at, you little rascal?"

Gu Jinchao's vision went black, and he could no longer catch a glimpse of the spring scenery. He said with some regret, "It's not like we haven't seen it before, why does Aunt Luo have to cover it up?"

He suspected that the accident just now was not an accident, but rather something that this venomous woman had deliberately done.

The purpose, of course, was to seduce him!

Or rather, they wanted to take control of him as soon as possible, as this increasingly difficult-to-control orphan of the previous dynasty.

This must be the meaning of the Heavenly Mother.

After all, he had just ruined the Heavenly Mother Cult's plan to seize the [Prison Dragon Vein].

Although the Heavenly Mother also obtained the [Yin-Yang Harmony Flower] through a transaction.

But in the eyes of the other party, he was undoubtedly an unstable variable.

And if Gu Jinzhao's guess is correct.

Shi Youming and the King of Zhenbei had already decided to kill him.

If the Heavenly Mother Cult cannot control him, accidents could easily occur, causing the "All Things Return to the Mother" plan to fail directly.

Therefore, it is natural to urge Luo Yirao to speed up her conquest.

Luo Yirao pinched his soft waist, seemingly a little embarrassed and annoyed: "You can only look if your aunt shows it to you, you little rascal!"

"Hey... it hurts!"

Gu Jinzhao's body trembled, and he gasped sharply.

Of course, the pain wasn't in the soft flesh of my waist, but in the wound.

"You deserve to be tortured, you fickle little rascal, for getting so many romantic entanglements!"

Luo Yirao snorted coldly, but withdrew her delicate hand.

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly and changed the subject, asking, "Why did Aunt Luo laugh just now?"

"Your aunt is laughing because you, you little rascal, are thinking too much."

Luo Yirao still covered his eyes with her other hand, preventing him from peeking at the glimpse of spring.

But doing so is merely being blinded by a single leaf.

Since they are both cultivators, they can use their divine sense to see everything.

This little rascal, when he was blindfolded, immediately spread his divine sense, wanting to see her completely naked.

In response, Luo Yirao merely symbolically adjusted her clothes, obscuring most of the full moon, as if its enchanting radiance had been veiled by clouds, exuding a hazy allure of a woman half-concealing her face.

Gu Jinchao brushed aside the slender hand covering her eyes and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her again: "What do you mean?"

Luo Yirao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said irritably, "When did Auntie ever say that we should let outsiders know about our relationship?"

"The reason I acted so intimately in front of Her Majesty just now was to test her attitude."

"If permission is granted, everyone will be very happy."

"If not, it won't have any impact..."

Gu Jinzhao's gaze followed the beautiful woman's slender, snowy neck down to her high, full breasts, and he subconsciously said, "Is that really so?"

Luo Yirao felt his burning gaze, but this time she didn't try to hide anything. She just blushed and glared at him, saying, "What else?"

"Auntie isn't someone who doesn't consider the bigger picture."

She didn't want their relationship to be exposed in court.

This will not only cause trouble, but will also displease Gu Jinzhao.

Gu Jinzhao was deeply moved and hugged the soft, warm body even tighter: "Aunt Luo is so kind!"

Luo Yirao gently grasped his hand, their fingers intertwined: "Auntie doesn't actually want any title, she just wants to stand quietly behind you, you little rascal."

"Watching you achieve great things and make a name for yourself."

"This is your mother's wish, and it is also your aunt's wish."

Hearing those tender and affectionate words, Gu Jinzhao's eyes gradually welled up with indescribable emotions: "If that day ever comes, I want to marry Aunt Luo openly and honestly!"

Luo Yirao's eyes reddened, filled with both joy and sorrow: "My status as your aunt means we can never be together openly."

"I am already content just to be by your side."

Undoubtedly, Gu Jinzhao has fallen deeply in love with her.

Otherwise, why would he say something like "I'd like to marry her"?

However, for some reason, hearing these affectionate words stirred up ripples in my heart that I had never felt before.
