Fairy, please don't do this!

However, these words came from Xiao Qingyi.

As the Empress Dowager, how could she possibly deceive them?

The two women, their thoughts in disarray, hesitated.

If they break down the door and catch them in the act, that would be fine!

If Luo Yirao were simply treating Gu Jinzhao's injuries normally, it would definitely have earned Gu Jinzhao's disgust.

He was injured because they had just fought a life-or-death battle!

After a long silence, Lin Qingci looked at Mu Yiren and said in a telepathic voice without expression, "Your double pupils can see through illusions!"

Mu Yiren coldly replied, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Lin Qingci said calmly, "If you don't want your senior brother to be seduced by another woman because of our fight, you don't have to!"

We are both reborn, so if we can't even protect our own homes, we might as well find a rope and hang ourselves from a tree in the southeast!

"I don't need you to remind me!"

Mu Yiren also knew that now was not the time to act impulsively.

She took a deep breath and looked up at the door.

hum-

A pair of embedded pupils shimmered with a deep blue light, piercing through the barrier as if trying to peer into the room.

But in the next instant, he was blocked by a crimson light curtain and plunged into a murky chaos.

Mu Yiren frowned slightly: "A restriction has been set up inside to block the double pupils from seeing!"

Lin Qingci frowned at the same time: "Why did you suddenly set up a restriction?"

With the Empress Dowager and Gong Lingyun present, no accidents will happen at Ya Yue Residence, and no one will dare to spy on it with their divine sense.

If Luo Yirao truly wanted to heal Gu Jinzhao, why go to the trouble of setting up a restriction?

Of course, it could also be out of caution, or perhaps they didn't want the secret method to be revealed, or maybe, as the Empress Dowager said, the two of them were practicing dual cultivation inside?

Mu Yiren also thought of this and suddenly said, "I alone cannot break the restriction silently!"

"I'll help you!"

Without hesitation, Lin Qingci raised her hand and formed a hand seal.

The sword bone behind her trembled slightly, and a green light enveloped Mu Yiren.

Sword bones can enhance sword intent and many supernatural abilities, and can also enhance the power of double pupils.

The combination of these two factors can break through the barrier of the restriction.

Mu Yiren glanced at her, then used her double pupils again to look at the door.

This time, the gaze pierced through the barrier, bypassed the restrictions, and landed on the bed.

Then they saw the handsome man and the beautiful woman sitting cross-legged, their palms facing each other.

The surrounding yin and yang energies intertwined, clearly activating the so-called "Spring Breeze and Rain" secret technique, without any overstepping of boundaries.

She did not look away, but observed carefully.

Gu Jinzhao's face was still pale, but it had a bit more color than before.

However, his inner garment was unfastened, revealing his chest wrapped in gauze.

On the other hand, Luo Yirao's cheeks were flushed like the sunset, as if she had applied rouge, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Her voluptuous and mature body was wrapped in a deep red ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), which outlined her exquisite and alluring figure.

The front of her ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) was slightly open, and the bodice embroidered with red phoenixes tightly bound her full and voluptuous breasts, like twin peaches hanging high on a tree branch, ripe and ready to fall.

Following the flat waist downwards, a pair of jade-like legs were crossed beneath the hem of the skirt, and the calves covered in glossy silk stockings could be vaguely seen.

Mu Yiren's gaze fell on the bed.

Although the bedding was somewhat messy, there were no suspicious traces left behind.

Lin Qingci asked telepathically, "How is it?"

Mu Yiren shook her head: "She was just sitting cross-legged and using the [Spring Breeze and Rain] technique to heal her injuries. There seemed to be nothing unusual about her."

She paused here, then added, "However..."

Lin Qingci was somewhat displeased that she only said half of what she meant: "But what?"

Mu Yiren's tone was rather unfriendly: "However, the bedding was in disarray, and the Lady of the Luo family had a flushed face. She was wearing a pair of long stockings that were as thin as cicada wings, which made her look somewhat alluring."

She didn't know if Luo Yirao's strange behavior was due to using the "Spring Breeze and Rain" technique.

What is certain, however, is that this stunningly beautiful and alluring woman harbors thoughts of seducing Gu Jinzhao.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be dressed like this so late at night to treat his wounds!

Lin Qingci also thought of this, her voice filled with a chilling coldness: "Is it possible that this woman was just making out with my senior brother, and only noticed our arrival, so she hurriedly tidied herself up?"

Mu Yiren nodded slightly: "That possibility cannot be ruled out!"

As far as she knew, Luo Yirao was a third-grade Nascent Soul cultivator with extremely keen senses.

Even while treating Gu Jinzhao's injuries, she could still sense any movement outside the door.

Even though they had concealed their auras, they still couldn't escape being sensed.

Of course, that's not the key point. The key point is that after she entered the military command, she inquired about the women who were usually close to Gu Jinzhao.

Aside from Feng'er, this Lord Luo was the one with whom he had the closest relationship.

Tonight, Gu Jinzhao is injured.

Her superior rushed over immediately, looking tense and worried. Anyone with eyes could see that she had a close relationship with him.

Mu Yiren withdrew her gaze and went to the garden next to her, slowly analyzing, "Of course, it's also possible that we guessed wrong."

"Lord Luo is worried that he will not be able to participate in tomorrow's hunting ceremony, which is why he is so concerned about his injuries."

"As for this healing technique called 'Spring Breeze and Rain,' it does require drawing upon the yin and yang energies between men and women, but whether it needs to be performed in an intimate and ambiguous manner is unknown."

Lin Qingci followed closely behind, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed: "I'm more inclined to believe that Luo Yirao is intentionally seducing my senior brother!"

Mu Yiren asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Lin Qingci revealed her guess: "Senior brother likes women's legs, especially when they wear those ice silk stockings."

"It just doesn't make sense that this woman came to treat his wounds in the middle of the night wearing silk stockings made of ice silk."

Mu Yiren, who also knew her childhood sweetheart's preferences, gradually turned cold: "If that's really the case, this woman probably has ulterior motives towards Jinzhao."

No one would be happy if their fiancé was being eyed by another woman.

Not only did Luo Yirao have her eye on her, but she also went directly to her door to seduce her, which was undoubtedly a slap in her face.

Lin Qingci's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Whether this is true or not, we still need to investigate."

"If it's a misunderstanding, that's for the best."

"If not, this woman cannot be allowed to live!"

She didn't care whether this woman was the younger sister of the Luo family head or the head of the military command.

Anyone who spyes on their senior brother should be killed!

Mu Yiren, her sharp tongue now sharp and witty, scoffed, "With your cultivation level, you can't even beat me, yet you dare to dream of killing a third-grade Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Lin Qingci snorted coldly and retorted without backing down, "I am indeed no match for you now, but I will catch up with you sooner or later, as well as that woman Luo Yirao."

There was one more thing she didn't say.

Even if one's cultivation level is insufficient, one can still use alchemy to poison others.

The materials needed for a poison pill capable of killing a third-grade Nascent Soul cultivator are indeed extremely difficult to find, but it's not impossible.

"Let me remind you, before you have investigated the matter thoroughly, it is best not to do anything rash, and even more so, not to question Jinzhao."

"Otherwise, I'll only be dragged down and disliked by him too..."

Mu Yiren left these words behind and turned to leave.

She also disliked Luo Yirao intensely, and even harbored a murderous intent towards her.

But she didn't want Gu Jinzhao to become dissatisfied with her because of a misunderstanding.

Lin Qingci did not respond, only gave her a cold look at her back before turning and walking towards her room.

Inside the courtyard!

The Empress Dowager, dressed in a black phoenix robe, sensed this scene and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful lips: "Your disciple and Lin Qingci are truly like oil and water!"

Xiao Qingyi told the two women about the "Spring Breeze and Rain" incident so that they would catch the adulterous couple in the act and make things difficult for them.

Of course, she also knew that this might be a legitimate healing secret.

But since Luo Yirao had already provoked her, how could she not retaliate?

Gong Lingyun looked at her, her eyes clear and cold as a mirror: "The Empress Dowager cares a lot about Gu Jinchao!"

Xiao Qingyi thought of the scene of that dog servant being affectionate with Luo Yirao and couldn't help but snort coldly: "If he is seriously injured and unable to fight in the Hunting Ceremony for Cang Yue, I will naturally be concerned!"

This statement sounds plausible and reasonable; no one could find fault with it.

Gong Lingyun's gaze remained strange!

In her memory, Xiao Qingyi was an extremely arrogant woman.

This arrogance did not stem from her status as Empress Dowager, but was ingrained in her very being, an innate disdain.

Xiao Qingyi was born into the Xiao family of Jiangnan and was a descendant of Emperor Xiao Ren. From a young age, she possessed great ambitions and a spirit that rivaled any man.

On the eve of entering the palace, she even said to her close friend: "Rather than tying your life to a foolish and incompetent ruler like Emperor Yong'an, it would be better to take his place, seize power, reverse the tide of the world, and establish a peaceful and prosperous era."

As she said, after becoming Empress Dowager, Xiao Qingyi used swift and decisive measures to eliminate internal and external troubles in the court, bringing peace and prosperity to the country and allowing the people to live and work in peace.

Unexpectedly, this proud woman actually showed a girlish annoyance towards a courtier...

Chapter 409, "Aunt Luo wouldn't want me to be burned alive, would she?" (3K)

Fifteen minutes ago!

The beautiful woman lying on the bed, her clothes disheveled, seemed to sense something and whispered, "They've concealed their presence and are heading towards the room!"

The handsome man who was bending down to cast the [Spring Breeze and Rain] spell paused, asking, "Who's here?"

Luo Yirao's jade-like face flushed crimson, and she gazed at him with alluring eyes: "Naturally, she is your childhood sweetheart and junior sister, you little rascal!"

With his left hand supporting the beautiful woman's waist and abdomen, and his right hand grasping her two delicate, silk-clad feet, Gu Jinzhao's hazy gaze gradually faded as he feigned nervousness and said, "Then let's stop for a bit!"

"Are those little rascals afraid they'll ruin our good time?"

Luo Yirao arched her back slightly, her plump and voluptuous buttocks pushing the brocade quilt into a rounded curve.

Gu Jinzhao put down the two warm, fragrant, and smooth silk feet in his hands and coughed lightly: "Aunt Luo, why ask a question you already know the answer to?"

"Cuckoo..."

Luo Yirao burst out laughing, her body trembling with joy!

Beneath her slender, snow-white neck, her full, soft breasts swayed and rippled.

Gu Jinchao's gaze was drawn to him, and he almost couldn't resist again, but he forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart: "Stop laughing, hurry up and get up and tidy your clothes!"

"What's the panic?"

"My aunt said that with the sacred artifact, the Red Phoenix Umbrella, even those with double pupils cannot see into the room."

Luo Yirao gave him a charmingly disdainful look.

As she spoke, a pair of beautiful legs encased in glossy silk stockings were raised.

A silk-clad foot hooked around his neck, its toes, painted with deep red nail polish, caressing the skin of his back.

The other silk-clad foot pressed against his chest, like a nimble jade-colored snake, slithering up his neck and down to his cheek.

The warmth and smoothness of the skin intertwined with the cool, silky feel of the ice silk stockings, along with a refreshing fragrance.

Gu Jinzhao's mind was shaken, and he subconsciously grabbed the mischievous silk foot: "With Sister Yiren's current fifth-grade perfection realm, she cannot unleash the full power of the double pupils, and indeed cannot overcome the barrier of the sacred artifact."
