Empress with no Virtue Chapter 77

Ye Zhen Zhen didn’t think that Ji Wu Jiu will visit the Ye Manor.

In the inner house, it was not appropriate for strangers to enter, therefore Ji Wu Jiu could not go near Ye Zhen Zhen’s maiden room, and could only wait for her at the flower pavilion. Although he said that there was no rush, but actually he was so anxious that his neck kept stretching to see if she has arrived. Finally Ye Zhen Zhen arrived, not waiting for her to complete her greetings, he has already pulled her into his arms. The people serving them immediately turned away, and left the married couple alone at the pavilion to talk.

Not seeing her for a few days, Ye Zhen Zhen appears to be thinner, Ji Wu Jiu felt his heart in pain. He held on to Ye Zhen Zhen and lead her to the chair, him sitting down and her on his laps.

Ye Zhen Zhen felt that him being so intimate in the daylight was not appropriate, so she wanted to stand up.

JI Wu Jiu held her back, “Sit properly, we shall chat for a little while”

Ye Zhen Zhen could only sit and say, “Your Majesty, how come you are here.”

All because I miss you already, Ji Wu Jiu thought in his heart. He helped her brush her loose hairs, and then was caressing her face, frowning he said, “You lose some weight”

Ye Zhen Zhen dropped into his chest and sighed.

Both of them did not really speak. Before arriving, Ji Wu Jiu had thousands of things that he wanted to tell her, but now with her in his arms, he felt secured, and all those words seems meaningless now. He pecked her forehead, hands at her waist, and legs supporting her well rounded bottoms, he suddenly felt his heart tingling.

But, the timing was not right, the place was not right, Ji Wu Jiu shouldn’t make her angry. But the both of them was not able to be intimate for a few days, so he was not happy, therefore he said, “I want to get something from you, I hope you would be willing to give me”

“What do you want?”

Ji Wu Jiu look down, and whispered something to her ears.

Ye Zhen Zhen immediately blushed red, “What do you want to do with that?”

He tightens his grasp on her waist, “Of course to remember someone with her belongings”

Ye Zhen Zhen looked down, avoiding his gaze, “Go and ask the maid servant that stores my clothing from Kun Ning Palace, don’t have to get it from me”

He smooched her cheek “Silly, this type of thing how can I let others know. Furthermore, I want you to remove it yourself and give it to me”

“You…!” Ye Zhen Zhen felt that Ji Wu Jiu is getting more willful, no one can really guess what he is thinking. She wanted to get up, “Don’t play around!”

Ji Wu Jiu held her back down, resting his nose on her collar bones, he said “Zhen Zhen, let me have it. Do you know, these few days that I can’t see you, how much I have missed you”

Ye Zhen Zhen’s heart soften, him saying a few lovey dovey words, made her heart waver. In the end, she can only push his head away, and said ,”I go back to the room and take it for you”

Ji Wu Jiu’s face pushed towards her again, in a low voice he said “Give it to me here”

Ye Zhen Zhen stared at him, “What type of place this is!”

“There won’t be people visiting here, I have ordered people to guard around, no one will dare to come in”

Most probably he has planned this earlier. Ye Zhen Zhen rolled her eyes, seeing that he will not let it go, if he doesn’t get what he wants, so she can only follow along, so that she can quickly send this person away. Therefore, under his fiery gaze, she slowly untied her clothes, and removed the red coloured inner garment she was wearing, then throwing that to him, and then properly wear her clothes again. Her chests was naturally exposed for a short while during her actions, Ji Wu Jiu can’t help but to stare at it, his eyes almost burning with fire.

However, he didn’t dare to do anything, afraid that the moment he starts, he would not be able to control himself. The entire process was really a sweet torture.

Ye Zhen Zhen however was in a dilemma. In Summer, their cloths are thinner, after properly wearing her clothes, she felt that something was missing and uncomfortable. From the outside, the shape of her chests were also more obvious, how could she return like this?

Naturally Ji Wu Jiu would not want anyone else to see it, therefore he passed her the fan that he has, to be opened and used to block her front. The drawing on the fan was a lotus flower, and was personally drawn by the emperor, if taken out to be sold, certainly it will be a small fortune. The fan is rather big, once open it was larger than her shoulders, to be used to cover herself would be the best item.

Ye Zhen Zhen held on to the fan, looking at him “You are well prepared”

Ji Wu Jiu smiled, “To guard the room at night alone is not easy, you need to be considerate as well”

Ever since then, Ji Wu Jiu will visit Ye Manor every two to three days. Although Ye Xiu Ming has not been attending court for some time now, in the hearts of the other ministers, his reputation has been increased again. Even the blind could tell, Madam Ye was sick and the emperor was so concerned about her, obviously the Ye Family will still be in power for a while.

After a few discussion with Ye Xiu Ming, Ji Wu Jiu and him came to agree to 2 things.

Number 1, to dote on your wife is, “Not fighting back if beaten, not arguing back when scolded”. When a woman is angry, they are not rational, as long as your face is think enough, and allows her to scold you, when her anger dissipates, they will naturally come to an understanding. When they are approached nicely then, there would not be any problems that cannot be solved. All women are soft hearted, when one needs to act nonchalant, then do so, when one needs to act pitiful then do so, the most important is to never be prideful infront of the wife, it would make matters worse.

Second, according to Ji Wu Jiu’s deduction the matter with the silk shirt is most probably done by Bai Jian Cheng. Previously he was sent to Liao Dong, most probably he came into contact with Nu Zhen tribe there, meaning he has the right motive and chance to do this. If Bai Jian Cheng is really the traitor, naturally he will be punished severely, it’s just that whether there are other ministers in court that are in the same cahoots with him or not is yet to be known, and whether if he has any relation to Li You is yet to be confirmed, therefore the best choice is for him to stay low about this matter. Bai Jian Cheng was Ye Xiu Ming’s student, the matter with the silk shirt was also leaked from here, no matter what, Ye Xiu Ming would not be cleared from this matter. But of course, to be frank, the initial purpose of Ye Xiu Ming was of a good one, and has always been loyal to the country, he was also fooled by Bai Jian Cheng only. Therefore he is only asked to keep a surveillance on Bai Jian Cheng.

This promise made Ye Xiu Ming calmer.

Old madam’s illness has also turned to the better. Her fever has also subsided. With her children and grandchildren with her, she got more happy and have a better appetite, slowly increasing her food intake amount. No longer bed ridden, she can already take afternoon walks with the aid of Zhen Zhen.

The entire manor, can finally relax.

Because old madam cannot walk far, Ye Xiu Ming ordered for many types of flowers to be placed in her garden, and gotten two swans and a peacock, making her personal garden turn into a main garden. The moment she leaves her room, she will be able to view it all.

It was time for Ye Zhen Zhen to return to the palace.

Ji Wu Jiu said he wanted to come pick her up, she felt that to make such a commotion would not be good, so she wanted to return abit earlier, but the moment she wanted to leave, Ye Xiu Ming came over and told her that Ye Lei Ting wanted to meet her.

She has only met Ye Lei Ting a few times before, and not considered to be closed. Previously at the army, he was the main general, Ji Wu Jiu and Ye Zhen Zhen both had to listen to his orders. Therefore Ye Zhen Zhen was really afraid of him, and was much more docile in front of him then in front of Ji Wu Jiu. Now they have already returned to the palace, was there something that he cannot inform the emperor, and must tell this empress?

Ye Zhen Zhen was a little confused, and asks Ye Xiu Ming, “Grandfather, why is he looking for me?”

Ye Xiu Ming shook his head, “I asked him earlier, he don’t want to say, but only said he must see you. If it was some other people that requested, I will not allow, but Lei Ting is someone who knows boundaries, if he wants to meet you, there must be something he wants the inform, so go meet up with him”

Ye Zhen Zhen nodded. Since they are of a different gender, it was best if they spoke in the open, therefore he was invited to meet at the main garden’s pavilion. She asks Ye Lei Ting, “General Ye, may I know why are you looking for me?”

Ye Lei Ting answered, “ To be honest, I have a secret in my heart, it was best if there is less people in the world that knows of this matter”

“O?” Ye Zhen Zhen looked at him with her brows raised, “Will you be telling me this secret? Don’t rush in telling me the secret, first explain why I should know of this matter?’

“Sir Ye has been kind to me, I want to pay him back”

Ye Zhen Zhen felt even weirder, “Then why didn’t you tell him personally?”

“This matter is big, although not directly related to Sir Ye, but its more related to the royal family.” He lifted his head to look at Ye Zhen Zhen, and smiled, “Forgive me if I am rude, but I have once carried you when you are young, although you are now the empress, guarding over the inner palaces, but I still treat you like my sister, so no matter what I would not want you to be suppressed.”

Ye Zhen Zhen was an easygoing person, his words did not make her upset, but was rather funny, “You must be kidding, you are only a few years elder than me, how could you have carried me, if you have a white beard, maybe some people will believe you”

Ye Lei Ting laughed, “Not only you, I have even carried the emperor before, do you believe?”

Ye Zhen Zhen was even more weirded out, thinking that something is not right. She asks back , “Since this matter is related to the royal family, then why did you not tell the emperor instead?”

Ye Lei Ting answered, “I tell you, and you decide whether you want to inform the emperor or not”

“If so, then brother Ye please speak”

Ye Lei Ting lowered his volume and spoke

Ye Zhen Zhen’s face immediately changed when she heard what he said, “Brother Ye!, Don’t simply say things”

Ye Lei Ting answered calmly, “Every single thing I said was of the truth”

“How did you find out?”

He took a long sigh, “That would be a long story”
