Chapter 185: Chapter 109: Your Highness, Don’t Move! I Can’t Hold on Anymore! (6K)_3

Even if Zhu’er is interested, it’s no use. That little thief only likes mature types...

She glanced at Lin Jingzhu’s small grapefruit, then lowered her head to look at her own large grapefruit...

Hmm, there’s a big difference.

"Just in time, you can try on this dress too."

"If it looks good, I’ll have the Clothing Bureau tailor a few for you and Lady Jinyun."

The Empress said, unfastening the buttons on the front of her robe, revealing her fair skin and a black hollowed-out underwear.

?!

Lin Jingzhu was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, "Auntie, our body shapes are too different, I don’t need to try it on, right?"

The Empress chuckled, "It’s just for you to check the design, why are you so nervous? Besides, it’s not like you haven’t seen my body before."

"..."

Lin Jingzhu was speechless.

I have seen it, but Chen Mo hasn’t seen it!

"This dress doesn’t really suit me, I have my own skirts..."

"Pfft, as if I don’t know you, a wardrobe full of martial robes, and the one you’re wearing is the one I gave you last year, right? Let me check what clothes you’ve added..."

The Empress moved toward the wardrobe intending to open it and have a look, but Lin Jingzhu quickly blocked her.

"It’s too messy inside; I haven’t tidied up yet. Auntie, better not look."

?

Observing her nervousness, the Empress pinched her plump chin, squinting her eyes scrutinizingly, "I’ve felt something off about you since I came in... Zhu’er, you couldn’t be hiding a man, could you?"

Lin Jingzhu forced a smile, "How is that possible? Auntie, stop joking."

The Empress also felt it was unlikely.

Given Lin Jingzhu’s personality, the probability of her hiding a corpse was higher than hiding a man.

However, this girl must be hiding something from her, and the secret must be in the wardrobe...

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you."

The Empress turned to look at the sky outside, saying, "It’s getting late; I should return to the palace. Later, give my regards to Lady Jinyun... You first bring me the cloak."

"Alright."

Lin Jingzhu sighed with relief.

Just as she went to pick up the cloak, she heard a "creak," turned her head, and saw the Empress had already opened the wardrobe door.

"Don’t..."

The air suddenly fell silent.

The Empress’s expression stiffened, staring dumbfounded at the man in front of her.

Chen Mo emerged from the closet, pulling at an awkward smile.

"At your service, Your Highness."

"..."

The Empress’s eyelids twitched, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Chen Mo?!"

"How come you’re here?"

Chen Mo said with difficulty, "This is a misunderstanding, a long story..."

After the shock, the Empress’s expression cooled, her pretty face clouded over, "Didn’t you forget what I told you the other day?"

Was this how the little thief was keeping his distance from Jingzhu?

He had even sneakily made his way into the lady’s chamber!

Utterly audacious!

Chen Mo’s throat moved, he cautiously reminded, "Your Highness, perhaps you could put some clothes on first?"

"Hm?"

The Empress looked down, her face suddenly flushed with red.

Her robe was half open, revealing her pale skin and a glimpse of her cleavage.

"Close your eyes, don’t look! Or I’ll gouge out your dog eyes!"

"..."

Chen Mo looked helpless; he had actually seen everything several times already...

Just then, the voice of Lady Jinyun came from outside, "Zhu’er, are you in there?"

Chen Mo was distracted and hadn’t paid attention; the voice was very close, and the person was already at the door, about to enter!

?!

The Empress looked at her disheveled appearance, then glanced at Chen Mo beside her... If Lady Jinyun were to see this scene, how could she, as her elder sister, face anyone?

Her mind raced, and she dived into the wardrobe.

"Eh?"

Chen Mo was stunned.

If you hide in the wardrobe, where do I hide?

Seeing the door opening, he followed suit and crammed into the wardrobe after her.

The Empress frowned deeply, whispering, "What are you doing here? Get out quickly!"

Chen Mo shook his head, "Your Highness is of noble status, how can you stoop to hiding here? If anyone should go out, it should be Your Highness."

"..."

The Empress glared at him irritably.

It’s one thing for one person to hide, but what does it mean for both to be hiding here?

Now it was too late to get out, the Empress shot him a threatening look and gritted her teeth, "If I get discovered, you are dead!"

Chen Mo made a zipper motion over his mouth.

Lady Jinyun walked into the room, saw Lin Jingzhu’s dazed expression, and asked curiously, "What are you daydreaming about? I called you several times and you didn’t hear."

"..."

Lin Jingzhu snapped back to reality, forcing a smile, "Mother, what’s the matter?"

Lady Jinyun looked at the silky cloak in her hands, curious, "Where did this garment come from?"

Lin Jingzhu said, "This... is a gift I bought for mother."

"Oh?"

Lady Jinyun draped it over herself, "The fabric indeed feels nice, though it doesn’t quite fit the season, but since Zhu’er gave it, mother loves it... By the way, where is Young Master Chen? Why haven’t I seen him?"

Lin Jingzhu’s eyes flickered, "He went to relieve himself."

Lady Jinyun nodded, "Good timing, I have something I’d like to discuss with you."

As she spoke, she pulled Lin Jingzhu over to sit on the bed.

By the looks of it, she wasn’t leaving any time soon.

And there were still two people hidden in the wardrobe!

Lin Jingzhu grew anxious inside but dared not show it.

Lady Jinyun asked, "How far have you and Young Master Chen progressed?"

Lin Jingzhu was taken aback, "Mr. Chen and I are just colleagues working on a case together, why would mother ask?"

Lady Jinyun smiled, "A mother knows her daughter best, some things you can’t hide from me... If it were just the colleague, then why did you specially put on a skirt today?"

Lin Jingzhu’s face became unnatural, "I was just wearing it casually."
