"Your Majesty, don't be angry. This concubine admits her punishment."

"Later, when this concubine returns to the palace, she will sort out her private treasury and offer all the gold, silver jewelry, silver notes, and antiques to Your Majesty."

As Mei Ruoying spoke, a slight smile squeezed out of her pretty face, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with her obedience, and the coldness in his eyes lessened slightly.

"It's good that Beloved Consort knows what's important."

With that, he reached out, preparing to pull the beauty before him into his arms.

Seeing this, Mei Ruoying frowned slightly.

Immediately, she moved her lotus steps lightly, imperceptibly dodging Jiang Chen's large hand.

"Your Majesty, this is the Hall of Diligent Governance, there are many people and eyes, this concubine can't properly serve Your Majesty here."

"Tonight at xu hour, this concubine will prepare a bed in Chengqian Palace, respectfully awaiting your holy presence."

After speaking, Mei Ruoying bowed.

In between movements, snowy scenery was faintly visible, extremely alluring.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's gaze instantly became fiery.

Just as he was about to get up and stop the beauty before him, Mei Ruoying took the lead and ran to the door, turning her head and smiling charmingly:

"Your Majesty, you must not break your promise to Chengqian Palace tonight, or this concubine will be jealous!"

After speaking, she floated away, her slender figure captivating.

Jiang Chen, smelling her fragrance, his eyes gleaming, said with a hint of regret: "Such a soul-stirring beauty, how could she be from the Mei family? What a pity, what a pity!"

Just as he was sighing, Chief Eunuch Feng Jin pushed the door open and entered.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Guard Jing is back."

"Guard Jing?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, and then a beautiful figure floated into his mind!

Jing Yue!

The leader of the "Dark Guards"!

The personal bodyguards of the emperors of Great Wei throughout the generations, hidden in the shadows, guarding the emperor's safety, only obeying the emperor's orders.

The number of Dark Guards was not large, only thirty or so, but each of them was extraordinary, proficient in concealed weapons and qinggong.

A month ago, the Dark Guards were sent out by the original owner, and even Jing Yue was sent away, and the purpose was to find ancient techniques and medicinal materials to strengthen the body.

Recalling these things, a surge of excitement welled up in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he said loudly:

"Quickly, let Guard Jing in!"

Which man doesn't have a wuxia dream?

Now that he had the opportunity to realize it, Jiang Chen rubbed his hands excitedly, his black eyes fixed on the hall door.

"Jing Yue greets Your Majesty."

A clear, cold voice came from the corner of the Hall of Diligent Governance.

Afterward, a woman in soft armor walked out of the shadows.

She was tall and slender, and other than her delicate face, there was nothing else special about her.

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Chen's whole body shook, and he almost jumped up from his chair!

When did this woman come in?

The woman in soft armor was Jing Yue. She lowered her beautiful eyes slightly and knelt down:

"Your Majesty, the whereabouts of the Dark Guards are confidential, I hope you will forgive your subordinate for appearing suddenly and disturbing your peace."

Jiang Chen had a heartfelt trust in the woman before him, who was as clear and cold as the moon.

In his memories, this woman was a partner who had grown up with him. From the time the original owner had memories, she had been by his side, loyal and devoted, dependent on each other for life and death.

Even the original owner, such an absurd fellow, respected and trusted Jing Yue very much.

Jiang Chen helped Jing Yue up: "Get up, I don't blame you."

Jing Yue rose to her feet and glanced sideways at Feng Jin.

Feng Jin was taken aback and tactfully retreated out of the hall, taking the door with him.

In this harem, most people understood Jing Yue's special status.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate was fortunate enough to find a body-strengthening secret technique for you, as well as the matching medicinal liquid."

After Jing Yue finished speaking, she took out a scroll of silk and a palm-sized porcelain bottle.

Jiang Chen was a little curious and a little skeptical.

Tsk, so many emperors in history lost their lives by eating elixirs indiscriminately. Could this dynasty have the kind of magical medicine that could transform people?

He took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and smelled it.

The rich aroma of grass and trees made Jiang Chen feel refreshed.

Good stuff!

His eyes lit up, and Jiang Chen took the scroll, full of anticipation, and tore it open.

Instantly, five ethereal and vigorous characters jumped into view.

"Qiankun Guiding Technique!"

Jing Yue explained, "Your Majesty, this is a secret technique for cultivating internal energy and nourishing the body."

"You only need to practice it for a quarter of an hour every day to achieve the effect of strengthening yang and forging the body. At that time, no matter how many beauties there are in the harem, you can easily handle them."

"Moreover, this Qiankun Guiding Technique is derived from Taoist health preservation techniques. Practicing it for a long time, in addition to improving your physique and strengthening your body, can also prevent aging."

Jiang Chen curled his lips, "Is it really that miraculous? You're not trying to coax me, are you?"

Jing Yue's expression turned solemn: "This subordinate would not dare!"

"This guiding technique is indeed extraordinary. Your Majesty will know as soon as you try it."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

With so many beauties in the harem, he would definitely have to develop some real skills if he wanted to control them.

After all, the original owner was addicted to wine and women, and his life was absurd. His body had long been wasted and weakened.

Jing Yue's eyes contained concern, and she said sincerely: "Your Majesty, if you want to practice, this subordinate can guarantee that the effect of this guiding technique is better than you think."

"But there is one thing, you must persevere in your practice and not give up halfway."

"That's natural!"

Jiang Chen casually agreed, his tone firm, and then said, "I believe you, let's begin!"

Jing Yue bowed in response.

Immediately, Jiang Chen followed her instructions and adopted the posture on the silk scroll.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate will clear your meridians for you. You must carefully feel the trajectory of the flow of true qi, and then operate accordingly."

Jiang Chen nodded, eager to try.

Afterward, Jing Yue extended her slender hand with thin calluses, and a thick stream of true qi flowed into Jiang Chen's back, spreading toward his limbs.

Jiang Chen's whole body shook, and he felt a warm current penetrate his clothes and surge into his whole body.

It was a little itchy, but more of it was a tingling sensation.

Hiss, what a thick internal force. Jing Yue should be the so-called palace expert, right?

A moment later.

Jing Yue withdrew from the Hall of Diligent Governance, her clear and cold face filled with fatigue, and even her nimble steps became heavy.

She had put in a lot of effort for Jiang Chen's body. In order to make the emperor healthy immediately, she had forcibly opened his meridians just now, consuming a lot of energy.

The pavilion outside the Hall of Diligent Governance.

"A'zhen," Jing Yue called softly.

A woman in black appeared silently, her movements ethereal. She bowed to Jing Yue, "My Lady."

"Whose name did His Majesty choose today?" Jing Yue asked.

A'zhen frowned, "None."

"His Majesty has been in the Hall of Diligent Governance all day and has not summoned anyone from the Department of Palace Affairs."

"However, Noble Consort Mei came just now and invited His Majesty to Chengqian Palace tonight. Also, yesterday His Majesty favored Noble Consort Shu, including this morning as well."

"His Majesty seems to be quite interested in Noble Consort Shu."

Jing Yue nodded slightly upon hearing this.

In the harem, the most taboo thing is one family dominating.

Now that there is a Noble Consort Shu to share the favor with Noble Consort Mei, it is naturally excellent.

"My Lady, His Majesty has changed a lot in the past few days..." A'zhen said hesitantly.

Jing Yue remained calm: "Yes, I have heard about this."

"However, the Mei family has been acting more and more inappropriately in recent years. His Majesty's transformation is not a bad thing, and re-appointing the Xu family is even a brilliant move."

"As His Majesty's Dark Guard, one must be loyal to one's duties. How can one arbitrarily speculate about the Son of Heaven?"

A'zhen's expression turned solemn: "Yes!"

"Go, invite Noble Consort Shu here. Just say that His Majesty needs someone to serve him."

As Jing Yue spoke, she looked at the Hall of Diligent Governance.

"Yes!"

A'zhen leaped up and moved nimbly between the eaves, as if walking on flat ground.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Jiang Chen finished practicing this set of guiding techniques and felt that his whole body was surging with power, his spirit was full, and his condition was excellent!

This "Qiankun Guiding Technique" was effective and magical.

Tsk, this effect is too damn strong. Even the top medical experts of later generations couldn't do this, right?

"Cough, what is this?"

Jiang Chen's nostrils were filled with a stench.

He looked down and realized that his dragon robe was covered in a gray-black liquid.

Hiss, could this have been excreted from my body?

While he was in a daze, Noble Consort Shu's delicate and shy voice rang out, "Your Majesty, would you like this concubine to serve you in your bath?"
