Jiang Yu kept his hand submerged into the water for a few moments. Only after he was done with his inspection did he expressed satisfaction.

With gentle movements, he slowly lowered Wei Yi Yi into the tub. And as he was doing so, a rare childish smile faintly occurred on his lips.

Since Wei Yi Yi can't be wake up normally, he'll let the water do the job for him. Just like that, Wei Yi Yi was calculated by her Boss! From the start, he was planning silly things! True to its words, nothing good comes off when the superior eyes landed on a lowly workforce.

Jiang Yu waited for a second, then another, until Wei Yi Yi entered the water and her body was drenched. He waited for her to wake up with wide eyes in shock so that he could amuse himself with her reaction. 

In his disappointment, Wei Yi Yi's only reaction was the furrowing of her brows in discomfort before her head nods off back to a serene sleep. 

Jiang Yu cannot believe the reality in front of him. If there is a flood, he fears that she'll drown first before anything! Her wariness is so low it's alarming!

It wasn't that Wei Yi Yi sleeps in a comatose state, rather, she's half-awake and cannot tell reality from a dream. At this moment, the heaviness of her soaked robe was registered in her head as the heavy empress robe that clung to her all night long.

And thus she mumbled, "Ah Mei, help me dress..."

In an instant, Jiang Yu's face darken. Clearly, he's the one accompanying her yet the first one she called for is that lowly servant. Never in his wildest dream would he believe that a servant's presence in his wife's life is bigger than him, the husband!

Give it a few months, reality would slap him across the face.

Jiang Yu wanted to stomp off in a moment of impulse and show his dissatisfaction. But then, seeing the culprit cluelessly sleeping, Jiang Yu decided against it. There is no point if she denies responsibility when it's time for him to vent! Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Swallowing the bitter taste in his mouth, Jiang Yu took her words literally and extend a hand to... Undress her! 

The thin robes, after getting wet, firmly hug Wei Yi Yi's figure. Her bright red undergarment is visible under the layer of the wet robe that has become transparent. Jiang Yu blushed and cough in embarrassment. He was thick-skinned enough to stare and continue his actions. In his mind, there is nothing wrong at all.

Wei Yi Yi felt the subtle touch of warm hand grazing her cold skin. Her heavy eyelids flinched. The confusion in her mind slowly clear up and she automatically woke up. 

Blinking her eyes, she met face to face with Jiang Yu who also stares at her. Only that his gaze seems to be directed lower.

She didn't panic at first. After all, she had seen this face multiple times after waking up. Following his gaze, Wei Yi Yi also lowered her eyes.


The first thing that she noticed is the water. Tilting her head in confusion, the whole situation drown upon her. With bulging eyes and mouth wide in shock, she managed not to shriek. Seeing Jiang Yu's outreach hand and her robes almost sliding off her shoulder, Wei Yi Yi first instinct is to pull away and put a distance. 

With a 'thud', her lower back hit the wooden tub. Receiving the sudden impact, the tub shook a bit but remained intact by relying on the weight of the water. It was Wei Yi Yi who didn't calculate well and lost her balance. Her back arched, her weight shifted, and before she could grimace in pain, her body stumbled backward ready to hit the ground!

Jiang Yu immediately acted on reflex and caught her wrist. Without thinking, he pulled her back with all his might. He expected her to fall into his arms but Wei Yi Yi falls into her knees instead. There was no time for tears as 'SPLASH' and she dives into the water.

It happened so fast Jiang Yu wasn't able to respond a second time.

The emperor shivered from shock! Whenever a concubine trips over, they surely fall into his arms even if he just stood there! How could he expect logic to fly off? He clearly went to help her but the result ends up the opposite.

Drench from head to toe, with her hair in disarray and a few in her mouth, Wei Yi Yi is kneeling on all fours inside the tub. Her face is full of confusion on what, how, and why!

Wei Yi Yi, "...Explain... Or police station..."

Jiang Yu, "..."

From early morning until breakfast, signs of annoyance and irritation are distinct on the empress' expression. No one dares to test her patience and even the emperor obediently accompany her in silence.

When she dressed in her riding attire and grabbed a pair of bow and arrow, everyone broke in cold sweats. 

"Emp---" Su Mei Fan choked up before she could finish. Although she usually acted shamelessly while clinging into the empress, Su Mei Fan immediately tucked her neck back right after seeing the empress' mood. Even her crocodile tears didn't appear.

Wei Yi Yi stared at everyone with disinterested. After the scene in the bath, she has no energy nor desire to socialize let alone work! She didn't bother putting up her customer service smile and dryly said, "Keep up," to the concubines; no longer looking at them.
