Chapter 1120 - 1125: Return to Her Natal Home (1)
Li Rui Zhu entered the room, filled with excitement and trepidation as she slowly walked up to the couch.
As she drew nearer, she caught the familiar scent of Dragon Saliva perfume—so enchanting!
Although the man was lying face-down, his jet-black hair messily covering part of his profile, his long physique and the familiar aroma of Dragon Saliva perfume proved beyond doubt that he was the Emperor Nangong Yi, the man she had loved for so many years!
The man on the couch seemed to be in a light sleep; just as Li Rui Zhu reached out to touch his face, he suddenly moved. Startled, she quickly withdrew her hand and darted to the side!
If he were to suddenly awake and see her, everything would be over.
Thinking about this, she disregarded her shame and reservation; clenching her teeth, she bent down and crawled under the couch where the man slept. She secretly resolved that once she became the Empress, she would definitely have Luo Xue and Tuotuo killed to silence them. Otherwise, the future Empress being seen crawling under the Emperor’s bed would be too humiliating!
Not long after, the sound of the door opening could be heard again. This time, the two women she had just planned to eliminate entered.
After Tuotuo entered with Luo Xue, instead of immediately using the Gu, she first surveyed the room, amazed for a moment by its opulence. However, her gaze quickly fixed on the couch where the man slept.
To obtain the Cloud-rain Gu, Nangong Yu had already informed her of Empress Dowager Mo’s plans, and she had known for some time that Li Rui Zhu was hiding in this room.
Therefore, having pinpointed Li Rui Zhu’s location, she slowly moved toward the couch.
Under the couch, Li Rui Zhu’s heart pounded erratically as she saw the brightly colored hem of Tuotuo’s skirt getting closer. At this moment, her concern wasn’t that Tuotuo had discovered her, but rather that Tuotuo might suddenly use the Gu to gain the upper hand.
