With red-rimmed eyes, she looked at the other person and nodded heavily. Then she knelt down to accept the decree and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will certainly live up to your expectations and bring my Emperor brother back!"
"Good, good, good!" Seeing that Princess Yang Ying had completely taken the bait, Xiao Yan quickly smiled and stepped forward to help her up. Then, she looked her over and said, "I knew it! Among the imperial family, you, Sister Ying, are a woman who is just as capable as any man! Now it seems I was right!"
"Tomorrow at court, you will accompany me to court to finalize this matter!"
"Even if the ministers in the court and the Prince of Danyang are unwilling, I will insist on it to the end and make this happen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Oh no! Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress!" Yang Ying was even happier to hear this, after all, now that Xiao Yan had agreed to her request, the biggest obstacle was the Prince of Danyang and the ministers in the court.
She had learned from the conversation between the Empress Dowager and the female official that the Prince of Danyang was unwilling to bring his brother, the Emperor, back, so he was a big bad guy!
Yang Ying was originally worried about how to get the ministers to agree to his mission, but now that Xiao Yan is willing to come to the court meeting with him to support him, his chances of success are much higher!
……
After sending Yang Ying out of the palace, Empress Xiao Yan bathed and changed her clothes before finally returning to her own bed!
The main hall was now empty, and she sat on the couch, her previously melancholy expression instantly relaxing.
Even a very unrestrained smile quickly appeared on her lips!
At this moment, she was indeed riding high, because all her previous plans had been successfully implemented!
Only one final step remains! From now on, the entire court of Wu Kingdom will belong to Xiao Yan!
Filled with joy and anticipation, Xiao Yan slowly lay down on the bed, but the next second her smug look suddenly turned into terror!
Because at this moment, Xiao Yan saw that directly above her, behind the bed curtains, was a man wearing a jade-faced fox mask hiding!
The person was hidden behind the curtains above the bed, facing down, supporting himself on the bed frame with his limbs.
In other words, the two are currently face to face, but there is a distance of about ten feet between them.
Wei Tingyu had long expected that he would be discovered while hiding here, but he had not originally intended to continue hiding, because there were some things he needed to discuss with Empress Xiao Yan of Wu Kingdom in person.
However, he still caught a glimpse of the stunning beauty of Xiao Yan lying sprawled on the bed, and he was momentarily stunned!
At this moment, Xiao Yan had already shed her previous heavy and gorgeous palace attire, and was now simply wearing a delicate pink bodice and a light purple gauze overcoat.
Her fair, jade-like shoulders were laid bare before Wei Tingyu's eyes! Even the light gauze dress couldn't conceal her radiant white skin!
This scene was truly stunning, especially the moment Xiao Yan lay down on the bed, which was as if she was presenting her most perfect body curves to Wei Tingyu.
Of course, this beautiful scene only lasted for a moment before Xiao Yan saw the handsome, fox-like young man above her bed! She was so frightened that her eyes widened and she instinctively opened her mouth to scream!
Wei Tingyu was naturally prepared, and instantly pressed his entire body down onto Xiao Yan, while simultaneously covering her mouth with a large hand.
"Ugh!" Xiao Yan never dreamed that a man would appear in her palace, and that he was now completely on top of her!
So it desperately howled and wailed, while instinctively kicking its limbs in an attempt to push the man away.
Because Xiao Yan is still a virgin! Even Emperor Wu has never touched her body!
But now, unexpectedly, this thief from who-knows-where has gotten away with it!
Of course, Xiao Yan was also very scared at this moment! After all, she had no idea why the other party had sneaked into her palace.
Moreover, judging from his current appearance, he is very likely a lecher!
The thought that she, as the Empress, might be defiled in her own bedchamber and lose her chastity made her struggle even more fiercely.
Wei Tingyu sighed inwardly, feeling helpless, and then looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Stop struggling!"
"Huh!" Xiao Yan was stunned. After hearing what the other person said, she realized that her resistance had been completely ineffective.
It makes sense. She was a weak woman who didn't know any martial arts. Even if she met an ordinary man, she would definitely be no match for him when it came to fighting fiercely.
Besides, this person is a master who has secretly infiltrated the palace! How could I possibly escape his clutches?
No! Force won't work; we have to use our wits!
Xiao Yan, as expected of an ambitious woman, quickly grasped the current situation! Her shocked and panicked expression vanished instantly, replaced by a pitiful and aggrieved look.
Even though Wei Tingyu was mentally prepared, he still felt a flutter in his heart when he met Xiao Yan's gaze.
Goodness! Who wouldn't want to cherish a woman like that? I have to say, she's incredibly good at it!
How could a woman who has never been intimate with a man possess such allure! And how could she understand and manipulate a man's heart! Who knows how many years Xiao Yan practiced in front of the mirror in her boudoir before her marriage!
It seems she's a woman with political ambitions since childhood, otherwise she definitely couldn't have achieved this level!
"Your Majesty, please do not make a sound, I will release you right now!" Thinking of this, Wei Tingyu saw that Xiao Yan was under his control and seemed to be stammering as if she wanted to say something, so he smiled and then spoke.
"Yes!" Xiao Yan also knew the principle that a wise woman doesn't suffer losses in front of her, so she quickly nodded after hearing what the other party said.
"Phew..." After Wei Tingyu moved his large hand away, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, looking at Wei Tingyu who was still on top of her, her face flushed slightly.
Xiao Yan was naturally filled with doubts about this guy wearing the jade fox mask, but seeing that he didn't seem to really want to hurt her and that they could communicate, she felt a little more at ease.

Chapter 177 A steamy nighttime conversation with Empress Dawu in the palace...
"Good man... please get up first..." Since their current posture was not very suitable for conversation, she said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Wei Tingyu smiled faintly, then gracefully and nimbly rolled over and got off the bed.
In an instant, Xiao Yan was freed from her restraints, and she quickly sat up and pulled up the curtain beside her to drape it over herself.
Although it still has a certain beauty of being partially hidden, it is not like before when the most intimate parts of the bellyband and waistcoat were directly exposed!
"Who are you? What is your purpose?" After Xiao Yan regained a considerable sense of security, she looked up at Wei Tingyu and asked directly.
"I am Wei Tingyu, Marquis of Jining! I greet Your Majesty Empress Dawu!" At this moment, Wei Tingyu naturally had no need to beat around the bush with Xiao Yan. His main purpose in coming today was to reach a cooperation agreement with her.
Since they were going to cooperate, they could only reveal their true identities! Besides, he knew that a smart woman like Xiao Yan would never reveal that he had broken into the palace at night!
"Marquis of Jining?" Xiao Yan was taken aback, then frowned.
She had naturally heard the news of Wei Tingyu's arrival in Wu Kingdom as a special envoy of a major power in the Central Plains in the past few days. However, being in the inner palace, she had not yet taken control of the court, so she had not actually met Wei Tingyu.
"How audacious, Marquis of Jining!" Thinking this, Xiao Yan's face flushed red again, though she couldn't tell if it was from anger or embarrassment. She glared at Wei Tingyu and said directly, "How dare you break into the palace at night with ill intentions?!"
"I admit to trespassing into the palace at night!" However, Wei Tingyu smiled faintly and then said, "But this treacherous plot... is truly a miscarriage of justice!"
"..." Xiao Yan was taken aback, then frowned. She looked into Wei Tingyu's eyes, as if trying to get some useful information from them!
However, all of this was destined to be in vain. Xiao Yan was surprised to find that she was almost sucked into the other party's deep gaze.
Xiao Yan can be described as an extremely intelligent woman, but she has never met a man as unpredictable as Wei Tingyu before!
"You dared to break into the palace at night, which is already a serious crime!" Xiao Yan didn't dwell on whether you had any ill intentions or not, but directly asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll call for help?"
"Then shout!" Wei Tingyu, however, acted nonchalantly and laughed as he looked at Xiao Yan.
“You…” Xiao Yan was stunned, and then felt helpless.
She knew that she couldn't call for help in this situation.
If a large number of people were to storm into the palace and find her with a man from another family, the only one who would be unable to explain herself would be the empress!
As for Wei Tingyu, since he was able to sneak into the palace unnoticed, the palace guards probably wouldn't be able to stop him if he wanted to run away.
Besides, this guy is wearing a mask! No one can really see his face. Even if I want to blame the Marquis of Jining afterwards, he can just deny it outright.
He claimed that he wasn't the one who broke into the palace, but he had no other evidence!
Moreover, this would completely destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries! Xiao Yan wanted to control the court of Wu Kingdom, not to let Wu Kingdom perish. Otherwise, who would she control after going to such great lengths to plot and scheme?
Moreover, what happened tonight will definitely be brought up by the Prince of Danyang at the court meeting, and he may even doubt that the child he mentioned before was not Emperor Wu's at all!
If that happened, I would completely lose power! And no minister in the court would support me anymore!
Xiao Yan understood all of this in an instant! Looking at Wei Tingyu in front of her, she saw that his face was also full of a faint smile, clearly indicating that he also knew that she had no choice at all!
Xiao Yan felt extremely unhappy about being manipulated by the other party.
After all, she had always been the one using schemes to manipulate others, but now, in front of Wei Tingyu, the roles were completely reversed!
"The Marquis of Jining is truly cunning! He knew I would hesitate to act rashly!" Thinking of this, Xiao Yan raised her head speechlessly and looked at Wei Tingyu, saying, "Are all the nobles of your country as treacherous as the Marquis?"
"Of course not!" Wei Tingyu smiled and said, "There aren't many people as cunning as me; you could probably count them on one hand!"
Bah! You hear the word "treacherous" and instead of feeling ashamed, you look quite proud of it?
This Marquis of Jining can truly be considered a spoiled brat!
But how could an ordinary spoiled brat possess such skills? You must know that martial arts training is extremely time-consuming and energy-intensive; without the determination to endure hardship and toil, it's impossible to achieve anything significant.
Wei Tingyu's martial arts skills are so high that he can enter the palace as if it were empty. He must have worked very hard during his training!
But how could someone with such a mindset be a spoiled brat?
The more Xiao Yan looked at Wei Tingyu, the more mysteries surrounding him seemed, some of which even contradicted each other! This made her feel that she couldn't understand this man at all!
"Never mind, never mind." Xiao Yan could only wave her fair hand and then looked at Wei Tingyu, saying, "Since Your Excellency has come to the palace to see me, there must be something you need, right?"
“That’s right!” Wei Tingyu had no reason to hide it. He walked straight over and sat down next to Xiao Yan, who was watching him warily.
The two sat side by side on the edge of the bed; the scene was undeniably incredibly ambiguous!
Most importantly, the distance between them was less than a fist's width, and their thighs even touched when Wei Tingyu sat down!
Xiao Yan frowned, then subtly shifted her body to the side, creating a small distance between herself and the crowd.
