Indeed, accompanied by several maids, the person who came before Qi Ling was none other than Xiao Xiaosu, who had come with him earlier. However, she had changed into an exceptionally gorgeous outfit, which made her appear noble and dignified.
Especially in her, the innocent, girlish charm she had just exuded had vanished without a trace, replaced by an air of arrogance and power.
Qi Ling stared blankly at the Xiao Xiaosu —no, it should be Noble Consort Su— before he could react. He thought to himself, "I'm doomed now. How could Azure Dragon not recognize Noble Consort Su? My imposter has finally been exposed."
To Qi Ling Qi Ling's surprise, Noble Consort Su seemed to have no intention of exposing him. Under the watchful eyes of the maids, Noble Consort Su slowly said, "Lord Azure Dragon must be very tired from your journey. Please come in and rest with me. You all can wait outside."
Afterwards, the maids stepped aside, and Noble Consort Su walked deeper into the palace by herself. Qi Ling thought for a moment and decided to follow her in to see what tricks she was up to, so she followed Noble Consort Su.
After passing through the courtyard, the two headed towards Noble Consort Su's room. The courtyard was not only spacious, but also filled with extremely precious flowers and plants, each one incredibly vibrant and dazzling to behold.
"How are the flowers here? Aren't they beautiful?" Noble Consort Su suddenly stopped and asked Qi Ling. Qi Ling was surprised to find that although there was no change in her movements, Noble Consort Su's aura seemed to have changed dramatically in that instant.
Just moments ago, Noble Consort Su was so noble and unapproachable, but now she suddenly seemed to become sentimental and elegant. She turned around to look at Qi Ling, smiled at him slightly, and her smile was graceful and charming.
"It really is beautiful." Qi Ling said something pointless, after all, for someone like him, flowers only exist in two states: open or closed.
"Right? I think that since they are flowers, they should be like these, vibrant and beautiful, so beautiful that it's dazzling." Noble Consort Su gently ran her hand over the tip of each flower, her fingertips lightly touching it, her movements indescribably graceful and pleasing to the eye.
"Otherwise, wouldn't we have lived in vain?"
Qi Ling listened to Noble Consort Su's words and couldn't help but feel that she seemed to have something else in mind. But before he could say anything, Noble Consort Su had already walked back to her room.
Upon entering the room, one finds that all the furnishings exude a feminine charm. Noble Consort Su casually says to Qi Ling, "Lord Azure Dragon, please make yourself at home and find a place to sit."
Then, Noble Consort Su slowly lay down on a chaise lounge. At this moment, her temperament changed once again, and a lazy yet charming aura flowed out like water, like a deadly poison.
The various changes in Noble Consort Su were incredibly natural, as if she were simply altering her outward appearance according to her mood. Qi Ling had never seen anyone wield such charm to this extent before!
After all, even those with higher levels of cultivation use these techniques intentionally, and cannot achieve the same seamless and spontaneous movement as Noble Consort Su.
Such a person is truly born with Innate Charm, capable of bringing ruin to the country and its people. Qi Ling doubted whether any man in the world could resist her beauty and remain rational under such Charm.
"Lord Azure Dragon, please make yourselves at home," Noble Consort Su said, gesturing to the tea table and wooden chair beside her. As she moved her arm, she unintentionally lifted her dress slightly, revealing her fair and jade-like legs, which instantly made her even more alluring.
Qi Ling considered herself to have seen enough beauties and believed her temperament to be exceptionally refined, yet faced with such an unparalleled enchantress, she could only silently recite in her heart, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form..."
After Qi Ling sat down, Noble Consort Su shifted her posture slightly and said to Qi Ling with a smile, "Lord Azure Dragon, why are you so reserved? It's making me feel like an outsider, isn't it? It's too formal."
Although Noble Consort Su said that, Qi Ling did not forget that Azure Dragon was just one of Noble Consort Su's subordinates. Even if he was her most capable subordinate, he should not be so presumptuous.
"Your Highness is too kind. I'm perfectly fine this way," Qi Ling said. "Let me first report to you the intelligence I've gathered this time..."
"Oh dear, what's the rush, Lord Azure Dragon?" Noble Consort Su said with a smile. "I don't understand military matters, so just tell Military Advisor Zhao, and he'll handle it."
"Now, I have a favor to ask of you, sir." Noble Consort Su smiled, rolled over and climbed onto the chaise longue, then gently lifted her fair legs, revealing her jade-like feet.
"My feet are so tired from walking with you for so long, sir. Would you be so kind as to give me a massage?"
Qi Ling was increasingly confused by this turn of events. Was this the kind of thing a concubine and a commander-in-chief should be doing? Could she have actually transmigrated into King Zhou's body?
Qi Ling truly didn't know what to do. If she refused, what if Azure Dragon and Noble Consort Su actually had this kind of relationship? If she agreed, what if someone saw them? She would most likely be arrested and beheaded, though whether they could even be beheaded was another matter.
Just as Qi Ling hesitated, Noble Consort Su urged, "Hurry up, Your Highness, what are you hesitating about? I'm all ready."
Who cares? If she's not afraid, why should I be? Qi Ling decided to stop thinking about anything, sat down on the chaise lounge, placed Noble Consort Su's legs on her own, and began to massage her.
"Hmm~ Your skill is truly excellent, far superior to that of the maids around me," Noble Consort Su said with her eyes closed. "With your technique, I'm sure I'm not the first person to receive such treatment, am I?"
Qi Ling Qi Ling thought to herself, "You have good taste. I honed this skill on Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong a long time ago. No customer has ever been dissatisfied with it. I'm confident that if they can get out of bed, I'll change my name!"
Under such intimate contact, Qi Ling and Noble Consort Su inevitably had more physical contact, and Noble Consort Su's ample bosom beneath her dress was about to be exposed.
"If Your Excellency wishes to see, then please do so. Why be so secretive?" At that moment, Noble Consort Su suddenly said with a smile, causing Qi Ling to blush and look away.
Qi Ling can guarantee that she absolutely did not intentionally look at it! It's just that the mountain is there, so people naturally look towards the peak! It's all just inertia, inertia!
