Chapter 175 Phoenix Maiden's Embrace
In the deep palace of the imperial city of Dongchen Kingdom.

Inside the study, where the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, memorials were piled high on the vermilion-lacquered desk. Outside the window, the shadows of the sycamore leaves swayed gently, and a cool breeze occasionally drifted through the room.

A voluptuous and graceful mature woman sat at the desk, her crimson skirt embroidered with gold phoenixes flowing like clouds, her slender fingers holding a pen to outline delicate characters on the paper.

"Master, it's getting late."

A maidservant quietly approached, leaned down, and whispered, "The imperial kitchen has prepared lunch."

"No rush." ​​Feng Sha didn't raise her head, her pen still moving: "Let's finish reviewing this stack of memorials first."

"Yes," the maid replied respectfully, sighing inwardly.

Since His Majesty the Emperor intended to hand over the reins of government, the Empress has grown rapidly, from being initially flustered to now gradually displaying the demeanor of an Empress.

just
"My master is working too hard," the maid sighed inwardly.

He had to manage the government, deal with various sects, cultivate diligently at night, and occasionally spar with that red-haired woman when he had free time. He was truly busy.

And all this desperate effort was for that Young Master Su.
"Go and fetch the memorial from the side hall."

Feng Sha suddenly spoke up: "While you're at it, return these documents on the table to their respective departments."

"Yes, ma'am." The maidservant dared not delay and hurriedly picked up the books and left.

"."

After the footsteps faded into the distance, Feng Sha put down her pen and closed her eyes to rest.

She took out the sound-transmitting jade from her bosom, her brows furrowing slightly as she gently stroked it with her fingertips.

"I wonder if your plans, young master, have gone smoothly?"

I wanted to send my greetings via voice several times, but after much hesitation, I finally held back.

"Young Master has his own plans, and I cannot rely on him too much."

She secretly warned herself that since she was determined to be an empress worthy of the prince, she could not act on her emotions like ordinary women.

Especially, you mustn't miss the young master too much, you mustn't.
When will you be back?

Her murmurs were barely audible, and her delicate hand unconsciously touched her heart as her thoughts began to wander.

Just then, a chilling aura quietly permeated the study.

Feng Sha suddenly turned around and saw a graceful figure leaning against the window, holding a sword.

"Miss Lü, why are you appearing and disappearing so mysteriously again?"

Feng Sha's cheeks flushed slightly; her longing expression just now had probably been seen by the other person.
"You're thinking of your junior brother, so naturally you won't notice me."

Lu Hongxi's blood-red eyes flickered slightly, and she said coldly, "Come out and spar with me, let's see how much you've improved."

Feng Sha suppressed her shyness and solemnly replied, "Alright!"

These days, Lü Hongxi has been staying next to the palace. She usually seems cold and aloof, but she often comes to give guidance on cultivation.

Feng Sha knew that this opportunity came entirely because of Young Master Su, so she naturally cherished it all the more.

"—Miss Lü, thank you for your trouble."

Feng Sha rushed into the courtyard with her sword drawn, assuming a fighting stance as she had done before.

Lu Hongxi remained standing with her sword in her arms, her blood-red eyes coldly sweeping over him, and she nodded to herself.

Although his foundation was average, he had a remarkable ability to understand and improve, and after only about ten days of guidance, he made significant progress.

At least now, he should be able to fight Xin Xuan for several rounds.

After half an incense stick—

"Well!"

Feng Sha slid back more than ten feet in a disheveled state, almost crashing into the pavilion pillar behind him.

A long sword was held horizontally in front of the towering peak, sweat dripping from his face, his expression solemn as he breathed heavily.

Click!
Fine cracks appeared on the sword, and it soon broke in two.

"That was a good block; you should carefully analyze its essence."

Lu Hongxi glanced at her indifferently and said, "Let's end our afternoon sparring here and come back tonight."

Feng Sha breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss Lü."

As soon as I raised my eyes again, I saw that the tall, alluring figure in the courtyard had vanished without a trace.

"."

Feng Sha chuckled helplessly.

Although he has been diligently cultivating, he is still far from reaching the level of this Miss Lü.

"call--!"

She slapped her cheeks sharply, her expression turning serious. "I can't give up so easily!" Now that she had the rare opportunity to receive guidance from a master, she had to seize it. She would do everything in her power to improve her cultivation, and then...
To lend a helping hand to Young Master Su.

"My lady," a maidservant whispered as she approached, "the bathing room is ready and you can bathe at any time."

"Okay." Feng Sha lowered her eyes and glanced at the skirt that was soaked with sweat, then let out a long sigh of relief.

She naturally understood the importance of balancing work and rest, and at this moment she was unwilling to force herself, so she turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

rustling --

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the soft rustling of fabric could be heard from behind the screen.

Feng Sha removed her magnificent robes and hairpins, letting her long black hair cascade down to her waist.

She was wrapped in a bath towel, but it couldn't hide her voluptuous and graceful curves, which bounced and swayed with her steps.

She silently stepped into the pool, the warm water flowing over her hips and waist, and soon reaching her fragrant shoulders.

Feng Sha closed her eyes and concentrated, her fingertips gently touching the water's surface. As she wiped the water with a silk cloth, an alluring blush rose to her skin.

However, her thoughts gradually drifted away, and her gaze became slightly unfocused.
"Um?!"

But just then, a burning sensation suddenly came from my shoulder.

Feng Sha frowned immediately, her fingertips quickly touching the skin of her collarbone.

"This is."

Wisps of spiritual energy flowed across her skin, subtly warming it. She turned her head and looked down closely, then froze in surprise.

"This is... the array patterns operating on their own?"

With a slight thought, her eyes instantly filled with surprise, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up.

"These are the array patterns set up by the young master. Could it be that he's coming back?!"

Feng Sha felt a surge of warmth in her heart and immediately got up to change her clothes, intending to go and greet Su Cheng.

But as soon as she stood up, her expression suddenly froze.

wrong.

The array patterns set up by the young master appear to be for teleportation and location services. In other words—

Before the thought had even formed, a sudden flash of inspiration appeared before my eyes!
Amidst the crackling of lightning, two figures appeared out of thin air and plunged into the pool with a splash.

"."

Su Cheng steadied himself in the water, his expression slightly startled.

He used the Mysterious Heaven Escape Technique to get directly to Feng Sha's side, but unexpectedly turned around and went into the water.

Is this a bathhouse?

His gaze shifted and met Feng Sha's surprised look.

"Feng Gu... uh."

Just as Su Cheng was about to speak, her full, ripe body came into full view, her towering peaks on full display.

Feng Sha's beautiful face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly covered herself with a bath towel. "Young Master, why did you suddenly return?"

Although her tone was shy, the surprise in her eyes quickly faded and was replaced by a bright smile, revealing her undisguised joy.

"Now that I've finished with these trivial matters, I wanted to go back to Dongchen to see you and Senior Sister Lü." Su Cheng chuckled helplessly, "It's unfortunate that I stumbled upon this scene."

"It's good that you can come back."

Feng Sha blushed and said softly, "Young Master has been traveling a lot. Now that you're back, it's a good time for you to freshen up."

"We can't wash here..."

Su Cheng was about to leave the bath with the puppet when his wrist was gently pulled.

"Miss Feng?"

Feng Sha's cheeks flushed red as she gently pulled him back into the water and whispered, "There are maids outside who want to come in. Why don't you sit down and rest for a while, so that others won't misunderstand you?"

After saying that, he tightly wrapped his right arm around her and sat back down in the bath.

Outside the screen, the footsteps of the maidservants drew closer.

Feng Sha quickly pulled Su Cheng into her arms and secretly transmitted her voice: "Young Master, please be patient for a moment."

"."

The surging waves caressed my face, and the alluring fragrance filled the air.

Su Cheng was slightly taken aback, and silently raised his gaze, meeting Feng Sha's pair of shimmering golden eyes.

Her eyes held a mixture of shyness, trepidation, and barely suppressed excitement.
It was intentional.
