Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

The emperor slammed his fist on the dragon throne, cracking several marks on the armrests. The extremely yin energy emanating from his anger corroded the golden throne.

"waste!"

------------

Chu Mingkong admired Pei Mi's fair back, took her weak wrist, and handed her a bag of medicine.

A woman's figure was reflected in the mirror opposite him. Her face was flushed with satisfaction, and she was so beautiful and radiant that she was beyond compare. Her charm was like a fragrance of a mature woman, which lingered in Chu Mingkong's heart.

Pei Mi already held several bags full of medicine in her hands. Remembering Jin Yu's instructions, she only applied the medicine and did nothing else.

However, although using a medicinal membrane as a barrier is no different from cultivation in form, the inability to directly sense Chu Mingkong's aura leads to incomplete cultivation and greater dissatisfaction, making one eager for complete cultivation...

"Alright, the medicated film is gone, so I can't apply the medicine anymore." Chu Mingkong had intended to continue, but the shop indicated that he had reached his daily redemption limit, so he had to stop here.

How could this be...?

Pei Mi's heart skipped a beat. She was holding several heavy bags of medicine in her hand. Should she tell Chu Mingkong that she didn't need this... No!

She forcibly suppressed the strange thoughts in her mind and said nothing.

Chu Mingkong helped her up and said:

"I'll sit and rest for a while, and I'll get you something to eat. Later, I'll take you to the bathhouse in the manor for a soak. Or should I get a bucket of bathwater so you can soak in the room?"

"I don't need you, I can do it myself!"

Pei Mi turned her face away as if she were throwing a tantrum.

After speaking, she realized that her tone had unconsciously been off. She calmed herself down and resumed her previous indifferent tone, which had been avoiding his presence.

"You go out first, I'll explain this to Jinyu myself."

After much difficulty, Pei Mi managed to "drive" Chu Mingkong out of the room before finally sitting back down to rest, completely exhausted.

The tough attitude she showed in front of Chu Mingkong just now was merely a stubborn act born of frustration at not being able to fully enjoy herself. Now that Chu Mingkong had finished his cultivation and left as if nothing had happened, she was left to recover her strength on her own.

Looking at the several bags of evidence of her medication, she felt increasingly angry and aggrieved. She felt that Chu Mingkong had taken advantage of her without her feeling anything at all.

Working for nothing is not enough to explain how miserable I am right now.

The spark in my heart had barely been ignited when it failed to ignite and spread further.

"so much......"

After watching for a while, she inexplicably wanted to smell it, and even more so, she wanted to use food and medicine to make up for the somewhat lacking cultivation.

However, once she regained her senses, she patted her cheeks to remind herself to stay alert!

With a heavy heart, she gathered a phoenix fire and burned all the evil things to ashes.

Pei Mi's limbs felt weak and numb, and she struggled back to the bed where Jin Yu was to lie down and rest.

As she climbed up, the creaking of the bed legs woke Jinyu up. Although the bed legs weren't quite in critical condition and on the verge of collapse, they were close.

When Jin Yu woke up and saw Pei Mi's appearance, she knew what had happened.

In fact, she subconsciously knew what was happening, but people only react to things they strongly resist. She didn't think anything of it, and at the time she was only thinking about sleeping and resting, so she continued to sleep.

"You didn't wake me up, you didn't secretly let Mingkong directly..."

Jin Yu's absurd words were interrupted by Pei Mi before she could finish, and she said, suppressing her temper:

"No, don't talk nonsense."

If it had come directly, would she still feel the frustration and dissatisfaction of her cultivation being abruptly interrupted? The time in the palace was much better than the recent ones...

"Where are the medicated films after the medicine was applied?" Jin Yu reached out to her mother to prove it, her pretty face stern.

"I burned it. What's the point of keeping the filth?" Pei Mi stared at the ceiling.

Jin Yu didn't delve into it. Even if she had come directly, she wouldn't have taken it to heart. What she said at night was just to save face after being scolded and wronged by her mother.

She chuckled, leaned in and hugged Pei Mi, saying playfully:

"Mother, rest a little longer. I'll call Mingkong in to bring you some food. When would you like to apply your medicine next time? There's always a next time, right?"

PS:

Chapter 195 First, let's settle the future daughter-in-law's entry into the family (21/38)

Although Chu Mingkong was kicked out by Pei Mi, he certainly didn't go far. His relationship with the girls was basically that he was the master in bed, but the girls were the masters afterward.

He counted the time outside, figuring that Pei Mi's anger had subsided and she should be hungry, so he brought in a pile of food to feed her.

Pei Mi, who had just been in a bad mood, was now dressed and had her hair combed. She was sitting at the table with Jin Yu, waiting for food. It seemed that she had accepted their strange and secret relationship.

At this point, Chu Mingkong wouldn't bother to say anything sarcastic or tease her; that would just be asking for trouble.

While they were eating, he ran to get a tub of hot bathwater, demonstrating his thorough and meticulous care.

So that after they have satisfied their appetites and rested for a while, they can comfortably take a bath to wash away the sweat and other strange liquids from last night's battle.

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Chu Mingkong sat opposite the beautiful mother and daughter and asked:

"I've already prepared a bucket of bathwater. Mother and Jinyu, would you like to bathe together or separately? If you're separate, I'll go and prepare another bucket."

Jin Yu cleared her throat, wanting to correct her lover's words. Her mother was the younger one, and she was the older one. When mentioning their names, her name, Jin Yu, should be placed first.

Just as Jin Yu coughed and was about to speak, she saw her mother looking at her silently with a serious look in her eyes. She cleverly stopped talking and just stuck out her tongue.

"Chu Lang, please continue. I'm fine, it's just that my throat feels a bit sore after eating."

Seeing that Jin Yu had no objections, Chu Mingkong turned to Pei Mi and asked, "What are your plans, Mother?"

Pei Mi naturally wanted to ask for two buckets. It didn't matter whether she washed with Jin Yu or not. The key was to see Chu Mingkong, who had seemingly endless energy, make a few more trips and tire him out. But after thinking about it, she decided against it.

"I'll bathe with Jinyu. If you have something to do, go and take care of it yourself. You don't need to stay here."

“Alright, you can have the maids handle the cleaning afterwards, or I can do it myself.”

Jin Yu remembered the wretched mahogany bed and reminded him, "Ming Kong, the bed is almost worn out; it's time to replace it!"

Seeing that Pei Mi's emotions were relatively stable, Chu Mingkong hesitated for a moment before deciding to be sarcastic:

"If this bed really collapses, next time I'll replace it with that ice jade bed, and we'll enjoy the feeling of causing a ruckus in the palace!"

When Pei Mi was in the palace, she had a passionate encounter with Chu Mingkong on the ice-jade bed. Upon hearing that word, her eyes burned with shame, sharp enough to bite!

"Chu Mingkong! Go and fetch another bucket of bathwater!"

She gritted her teeth, but Chu Mingkong had already cleverly made his escape and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

----------

Chu Mingkong may have run away, but it's impossible that he just went to a different place to relax and recuperate.

The events of last night have come to an end, but the things that need to be dealt with are springing up like mushrooms after rain. Tianya Tower in Xiling has taken on a lot of the work, but he still needs to go and see for himself.

I wandered around supervising the elders in charge of the formations, occasionally acting as a mobile "extreme yin power" to assist in testing the formations' effects. By the time I finally had some free time, most of the morning had already passed.

Before we knew it, the sun was high in the sky, almost noon.

A maid from the City Lord's Pavilion went downstairs and found Chu Mingkong, saying:

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort of Chu summons you to come up for a meeting."

Chu Mingkong was unaware of the passage of time, his mind preoccupied with wanting the results to come out quickly. He wished the formation could protect Xiling like an iron barrel. He took a few steps to the balcony to check the sky and realized that so much time had passed.

He replied to the maid:

"Alright, tell my mother I'll go up in a bit."

He was still worried about the formation, but after drinking a glass of water to calm down, he realized that he couldn't go against the objective laws of development, and that rushing things would only result in defective products.

If the women are only staying in Qingxin Mansion or Tianya Tower for the time being, they are quite safe.

The only one who really wants to run away is Pei Mi. If we can keep her at ease and spend the next few days with Jin Yu, we can solve part of the problem.

However, we still need to discuss this with the two mothers again. After all, we just agreed to move out in a few days, but now they say they will stay.

Upon entering the City Lord's Pavilion, Chu Mingkong pushed open the door and saw his two mothers, Xiao Zhi and Wan Hua, sitting side by side. No matter how many times he saw them, the two mature and beautiful mothers with different temperaments sitting together, with their graceful and charming appearances, were truly pleasing to the eye and never got old.

The two women were about to get up to greet their son, but Chu Mingkong had already strode over and sat down between them, his hands instinctively resting on her slender waist and full hips.

"There's no need for you to get up. I can just walk over. What does Mother Consort Zhi want with me?"

The plump and mature Queen Consort of Chu leaned on her son's arm, sighed, and said:

"Wan Hua wanted to see you. She found out about what happened last night and was really upset. She even came to my Qingxin Mansion and caused such a scene... Perhaps we should let Pei Mi stay at Qingxin Mansion and not hold it against her..."

In the past, Chu Mingkong would have definitely told them not to wrong themselves, that living separately was not a bad thing, and that they should not be angry with both sides and feel wronged by both.

But now it's really impossible for them to live separately, so the concubines can only make concessions and be tolerant.

"Do Zhi'er and Wanhua feel wronged?" Chu Mingkong asked gently, then changed his posture from holding their waists to holding their beautiful mothers tightly in his arms.

Xiao Zhi and Wan Hua each sat on one of Chu Mingkong's thighs, their two pairs of long, slender, white legs intertwined and rubbing together. Their heads rested on their strong son's chest, looking at each other face to face at close range.

Their eyes reflected each other's graceful beauty, like peonies, but their words were directed at Chu Mingkong.

Wan Hua said with a somewhat forced, joking tone, "I don't feel it for now, I just feel uneasy. Maybe after a while, when I calm down, I'll start to feel wronged and dissatisfied with Pei Mi."

Xiao Zhi, having exposed Wan Hua's secrets, chuckled and gently stroked the other's delicate collarbone, saying, "She's worried that if that woman dies because of this, you'll blame her, won't you?"

In fact, Chu Mingkong was more afraid of this.

With Xiao Zhi and Wan Hua together, how could they not see that this attack was aimed at Pei Mi, the former empress?

Without making a big deal out of Pei Mi's arrival in Xiling and the resulting panic, Chu Mingkong was already thankful.

But Chu Mingkong was also wondering if his two mothers were using this to play a game with him as their son... He deliberately avoided mentioning the matter, instead expressing his fear and guilt, hoping to make him side more with his mothers.

Although this idea sounds very calculating at first glance, it is actually an open scheme to let him know, not much different from Jin Yu's straightforward "Hold me quickly," only more subtle in order to make him favor the two of them.

"Where did Mingkong go last night?" After checking the itinerary, Xiao Zhi reached out and weighed the remaining food, feeling it as she checked the amount. Although she felt there was no difference, she still said, "It seems like there's a lot less."

“I spent the night with Jinyu…” he confessed.

Chu Mingkong didn't mention Pei Mi, but judging from their attitudes, they definitely knew what was going on. Besides, Pei Mi was frightened last night, so where could she go to spend the night? It must be Jin Yu's place. Spending the night with Jin Yu would naturally mean spending the night with Pei Mi.

The two mothers understood each other implicitly, but still did not expose their son.
