Chapter 134: I Hope the General Will be Merciful
"The night is already so late, is Empress Dowager still not asleep?"
"Could it be that she’s plotting something?!"
Thinking this, Long Chen decided to personally go and check the situation.
Stealthily approaching outside Empress Dowager’s room, he deftly poked a small hole in the paper window with moist fingertips.
Wait, why did it say "deftly"?!
Peering through the hole, he squinted to look inside.
A white figure was swaying in the room, with layers of clothing slowly slipping off.
...This... looks like someone is undressing...
Should he continue watching?!
A thought flashed in Long Chen’s mind, and he decided to keep watching.
After all, once this opportunity passes, it may not come again... ahem... he meant to see why Empress Dowager was still awake at this hour!
There must be some conspiracy here...
Thinking this, Long Chen finally overcame the moral obstacles and boldly continued watching.
As he watched, his throat began to move, continuously secreting saliva, which he kept swallowing.
To be honest, Long Chen was originally a bit of a homebody in real life and naturally had seen quite a few female internet celebrities.
But if he were to compare those flirtatious internet celebrities to Empress Dowager, whose charm value was a whopping 96...
It was like comparing someone in the sky to someone on the ground.
In terms of looks, Empress Dowager outshone them by a mile.
In terms of figure... gulp... it was probably more like thirty-six miles...
Because he was so engrossed, Long Chen accidentally bumped into the window frame, making a slight noise.
However, in the silent night, this slight sound was very conspicuous.
Already changed in the room, Empress Dowager, like a startled little animal, quickly covered herself with a black outer garment.
With her eyebrows furrowed and eyes flashing with cold light, she demanded, "Who’s there!?"
Although this was the backyard of the Prefectural Mansion, where security should be very tight, Empress Dowager couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t encounter some audacious, skilled thieves.
After all, since the appearance of the mutants, public security in Yangzhou has declined significantly.
And recently, there have been rumors of a mysterious flower thief in Yangzhou.
So Empress Dowager was a bit worried and quickly retrieved a pair of golden scissors from under the pillow, using it as a makeshift weapon.
Long Chen cursed himself silently.
But since he was already discovered, it was better to just come out openly.
So he spoke softly, "It’s me."
After hearing that it was Long Chen’s voice, Empress Dowager, who was originally anxious, inexplicably felt relieved.
So she said, "Lord Long, please come in..."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s.
Empress Dowager didn’t know why she said such embarrassing words.
Because in ancient times, women’s chambers couldn’t be entered casually; only the most intimate husbands or children’s parents could enter.
However, Empress Dowager thought of herself as the Empress Dowager and thought that she was just summoning a courtier.
Moreover... before... when they were in Luoyang, she had already let Long Chen into her bedroom...
Once you’ve done it once, you can do it countless times...
This kind of thing is either zero times or countless times...
After opening the door, Long Chen immediately closed it, then turned around.
He sniffed lightly and smelled a strong fragrance...
He thought to himself, "Empress Dowager is indeed the Empress Dowager, she knows how to dress herself up, and she even has this strong floral scent..."
In the dim candlelight, Empress Dowager’s goose egg face looked very beautiful.
Her long eyelashes were slightly curled upwards, making her look charming and seductive, and her lively eyes revealed a proud and arrogant expression.
She was wearing a black thin dress, and her skin, as fair as snow, looked like a blooming white lotus under the faint light.
And those fair and enchanting legs blossomed silently in the darkness, emitting a silent allure.
For Long Chen, who had been away from intimate encounters for a long time due to his prolonged military campaigns, this was undeniably a fatal temptation.
His breathing became heavier, panting...
Empress Dowager asked calmly, "I wonder why Lord Long has come to my palace so late at night?"
There was even a hint of reproach in her tone.
Because she associated the earlier commotion outside the window with her own dressing just now, didn’t that mean her body was exposed to this person’s gaze?!!!
Thinking of this, she felt angry, annoyed, and helpless...
Because she was currently in a subordinate position and didn’t have the real power to threaten Long Chen. If this had happened in the past, his head would have been thrown out to feed the stray dogs that very night... but now...
Long Chen replied, "I also want to ask why the Empress Dowager is not resting early in the deep of night, what are you planning?"
"And one more thing, you are no longer the Empress Dowager now. Have you forgotten what I said to you before?!" freewebnσvel.cøm
At this point, Long Chen’s tone carried a hint of anger.
This made Empress Dowager’s gaze evasive and her complexion paled.
But in Long Chen’s mind, he thought: "This is my territory, yet she still acts so arrogantly?! It seems I need to teach her a lesson; Empress Dowager truly sees herself as someone important!"
Then,
Long Chen looked coldly at Empress Dowager and said, "Do you still want your son to ascend to the throne again?"
At his words, a gleam of light flashed in Empress Dowager’s eyes, and her expression changed from arrogance to urgency. She hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, General, do you have any way to do it?!"
Empress Dowager naturally hoped that her son could ascend to the throne again. She herself was tired of this dull life.
It was like someone who was once at the peak suddenly fell into the valley. Such feelings were simply unbearable.
Hearing this, Long Chen continued calmly, "Humph! I naturally have a way to let Liu Bian return to the throne, but... well..."
As he spoke, he looked at Empress Dowager with a strange expression, and his handsome eyes swept over her body without reservation.
Unable to withstand this invasive gaze, Empress Dowager took a few steps back and sat stiffly on the soft couch.
Staring at Long Chen in a daze, her face gradually reddened.
As an experienced person, she naturally knew what a young and vigorous man like Long Chen wanted to do...
Thinking of her son, Liu Bian, her eyes filled with transparent tears.
Then, slowly, she untied the black long skirt wrapped around her body, closing her enticing eyes and softly saying, "I hope General will be merciful..."
....
The next morning.
Long Chen woke up refreshed from the bed and looked at Empress Dowager, who was still asleep.
Seeing her satisfied smile and rosy cheeks, he couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
Last night, Empress Dowager was even more passionate than himself...
As for the reason, Long Chen also knew it. Emperor Han Ling passed away early.
And in the later period of Emperor Han Ling’s reign, he basically spent most of his time with those glamorous concubines.
So, there were probably not many occasions where he actually had intimate relations with Empress Dowager. After all, the emperor’s harem had three thousand beauties, and the lecherous Emperor Han Ling was even more extravagant...
