Chen Mo's touch was gentle as he massaged.
The Empress leaned against him, her body trembling slightly, her breathing somewhat rapid.
Although the swelling had subsided, the pain still lingered. Under the pressure of that large hand, it blended into a peculiar sensation, an electric tingling mixed with a needle-like prick, causing her heart to uncontrollably race.
"Your Highness, feeling better?" Chen Mo asked.
"Still... still needs more rubbing, it hurts so much..." the Empress whimpered.
Chen Mo pursed his lips and smiled, teasingly saying, "Feeling the pain now? Why didn't you think about the consequences when you clashed with Consort Yu? You were a bit too bold."
"Do you even have the nerve to say that?" The Empress glared at him angrily, "If it weren't for you, would I be in such an embarrassing situation?"
Reflecting on it now, she felt a bit of fear in her heart.
