Chapter 224: The Empress's Lewd Dance of Domination — A Righteous Heroine Bears the Burden for Her Senior Sister (4)
This Empress Dowager was just too much—zero dignity, pure mischief.
Fine then. She'd take her fishing later and show her what mental devastation really felt like!
That afternoon, Su Qing arrived at the Empress Dowager's chambers at her invitation.
They were alone. The Empress Beauty did not make an appearance.
"Xiao Qing, this is my blessing to you before your departure—my secret Dance of Blessing, never before performed for anyone."
"It's a forbidden art that defies heavenly balance. You must feel its power seriously."
Su Mengxi's tone was very solemn.
"You say that... but is that why I'm your pole?"
"Mother, this so-called blessing—are you just trying to make me suffer on purpose?"
Su Qing eyed her dancing figure suspiciously.
He had a strong suspicion this was revenge for yesterday.
During their outing, he'd taken the upper hand and scared the Empress Dowager half to death.
Nothing had come of it since, but that didn't mean she'd forgotten.
"How could that be? Xiao Qing, what kind of person do you take me for? I wouldn't care about such a little thing."
"This is just a dance. Don't overthink it."
Su Mengxi paused briefly, then became even more energetic.
The sultry Dowager had changed into something new.
A skin-tight outfit fit for a pole dancer, revealing large swaths of snow-white skin.
Her slender waist, long legs, and generous breasts were on full display.
The soft bounce of her body as she rubbed against him was enough to mesmerize any man.
Su Qing had to admit—he really liked it.
He might hate pole dancers, but he sure didn't hate women pole dancing at him.
The problem was, he couldn't really do anything.
Faced with such a seductive yet supposedly "serious" performance, he was totally passive.
His status left him no choice but to watch.
Su Mengxi was clearly enjoying herself.
She wore a mischievous smirk like a fox that had just stolen a hen.
There were two main reasons for her satisfaction.
First, she was getting revenge for being humiliated during the fishing trip this morning.
Messing with her daughter's favorite man behind her back? Ultimate satisfaction.
That silly daughter probably had no idea what was going on.
Just thinking about it made her grin.
Second, there was that incident with this little bastard.
He had embarrassed her so badly that day. It was pure shame—burned into her memory.
That day had become her most humiliating black mark.
So now, any chance to mess with Su Qing filled her with joy.
Double the reasons, double the fun.
The Dowager decided she could definitely keep doing this.
Any time her daughter made her suffer, she'd find her happiness here!
Su Qing: "..."
He didn't know exactly what the Dowager was plotting, but he had a very bad feeling.
Let's hope nothing goes too far!
This so-called blessing dance naturally involved a lot of touching.
Only, Su Qing wasn't the one doing the touching.
The aggressive big sister here was all over him.
He honestly didn't know how to handle it.
They were so close, yet he couldn't lay a finger on her.
Who could truly understand this kind of torment?
Her full, curvy figure pressed against him now and then, giving him intoxicating sensations.
Her nimble fingers brushed across his cheek with such intimate familiarity.
"Xiao Qing, you're the exceptional child I raised with my own hands."
"I'm proud of you. I hope you grow into a true man."
While teasing him, Su Mengxi still spoke from the heart.
Yes, she really was proud.
He was still young, yet he'd achieved so much already.
Clearly, her guidance had been top-notch.
As for the scale of this teasing?
Honestly, she didn't think anything was wrong.
In fact, she hadn't even considered the boundary.
This slightly oblivious Dowager just thought it was fun.
And teasing someone always required testing their reaction.
If it worked, why stop?
What she didn't know was that Su Qing was cursing inwardly.
What kind of blessing was this?!
Doing all this to him—she was obviously trying to tempt him into sin!
If his self-control weren't rock solid, he'd have shown her what regret really meant!
But deep down, his moral line kept holding him back.
After leaving White Jade Pavilion, Su Qing was ready to gather his core team.
For safety and minimal casualties, he needed to prepare thoroughly.
First stop: the Princess Qi's manor, still under imperial guard control.
"Master, you're here!"
Princess Consort greeted him warmly, her smile burning with devotion.
Compared to before, her attitude was a thousand times more eager.
Clearly, after the shock from the Imperial Jade Seal, she was fired up.
She couldn't wait to prove herself to him and earn the thing she desired most.
"Got some good news—your chance to shine is here."
"You're joining the operation against the Heavenly Dao Sect as my strategist."
"If you perform well... your dream might just come true."
Su Qing casually patted her head and spoke with a calm tone.
Just a while ago at White Jade Pavilion he'd been playing it meek. Now, he struck with full force.
In front of his pets, he had to maintain that unmistakable dominance.
This snake-hearted queen was perfect for scheming.
How hard she'd work, though, was another matter.
That's why the Imperial Jade Seal was the perfect carrot—it never failed.
"Master's already planning to move on them? The Heavenly Dao Master is incredibly strong—it won't be easy."
Princess Consort's eyes flickered with hesitation.
"If it were easy, I wouldn't need you to cover my blind spots."
"If this mission succeeds, others will share the burden."
"If it fails, you'll have no bestie to help you."
As he said this, Su Qing slowly pulled out a fluffy dog tail.
He wagged it lazily, grinning.
"Master, leave it to me! I won't let that bitch escape!"
Princess Consort swallowed hard and responded with absolute determination.
Between the threats and the temptations, her fighting spirit surged.
They might not be enemies, but if that woman lived too well, it'd be her who suffered.
