Leaving the Palace

After Qin Zhenzhen completed the third acupuncture session for the Empress Dowager, the emperor summoned her to his presence, requesting her presence alone.

Qin Zhenzhen had noticeably shed some weight. Her countenance radiated a newfound beauty, while her silhouette had become even more voluptuous.

Resembling her grandma Qin, she possessed a unique allure in her moments of quiet contemplation. When she moved, an audacious and untamed beauty flowed through her.

The emperor, already prone to lustful tendencies, found himself gazing at her in a trance-like state.

If only she were not already married.

He considered taking her as a concubine, a convenient replacement for Beauty Jiang.

He vowed to shower her with genuine affection and, should he desire an heir, offer her the privilege of bearing his child in gratitude for saving his life.
