Chapter 118: Empress corruption (4)

As she explored her body, the Empress felt a deep sense of pride and satisfaction. Her transformation had restored her vitality, and she reveled in her renewed beauty.

With each glance, her confidence grew. Her shoulders squared, her posture regal, and her smile radiant. The Empress knew that this is just the beginning.

Next day,

The Empress took another drop of the mystical liquid from the Vessel of Life and drank it. Immediately, her body began to sweat, and the foul odor returned. Prepared for this, she had already removed her robes.

As she headed toward the bathhouse, her chamber door knocked, breaking the silence. "Your Highness," the maid announced.

Irritated, the Empress snapped, "Didn't I explicitly order not to disturb me during these hours?"

The maid apologized, "Forgive me, Your Highness. Prime Minister Gu is here, requesting an urgent audience."

The Empress's tone softened, intrigued by the unexpected visit. She pondered the situation before wrapping a cloth around her naked body.

"Send him in," she instructed, "and ensure we're not disturbed again."

"Yes, Your Highness," the maid replied, bowing.

The Empress's thoughts turned to the Prime Minister's sudden arrival.

Prime Minister Gu entered the room, his expression apologetic. "Forgive me, Your Highness, but I require your assistance in a pressing matter."

Then he smiled and looked towards her and saw her naked, just a plain cloth wrapped around her naked body.

Empress saw Prime Minister's gaze on her body but she didn't feel rude, she replied the smile and asked, "What urgent matter, Prime Minister Gu?"

Prime Minister Gu spoke, "Your Highness, it seems you've taken the liquid again. Perhaps a bath to relax your body would be wise? I'll wait."

The Empress shook her head, a hint of urgency in her voice. "No need, Prime Minister. Come, let's discuss the matter. We may require more time than imagined."

She turned to lead him to the bathhouse, but suddenly halted, her foot hesitating mid-step. "Aha, and ensure this remains confidential. Not a word to anyone."

Gu nodded discreetly, his expression unreadable. "As you wish, Your Highness."

Then as if she forgot about the Prime minister or she deliberately done this, she removed the piece of clothing from her body as she enters the bath, while her curvy back and plum buttocks were clearly visible to the prime minister.

As the Empress entered the bathhouse, she seemed to forget-or deliberately ignore-Prime Minister Gu's presence. With a fluid motion, she dropped the cloth wrapping her body, revealing her curves.

The warm light danced across her skin, accentuating the gentle slope of her back and the rounded contours of her buttocks. Gu's gaze, though brief, took in the sight.

The Empress's actions were either a testament to her trust in Gu or a calculated move, leaving him to ponder her intentions.

But Prime Minister Gu knew this would happen, as he had fed her the liquid extracted from the Stone of Corruption, the Vessel of Life, and even the Heart Jade necklace.

Everything had been given to her by him, designed to corrupt her thoughts, and it had started taking effect on her.

The corruption of her thoughts had begun, and soon Prime minister Gu will corrupt her body till she will obey his every command.

Unbeknownst to the Prime Minister, the Empress slipped into the pool, her body gliding effortlessly beneath the water's surface. Only her head and neck remained visible, a serene image belied by the darkness around the pool.

The Empress turned to Prime Minister Gu, her voice low and husky as she spoke his name, "Prime Minister Gu."

Gu's gaze, previously fixed on her body, snapped back to her face, his eyes widening momentarily before he bowed his head in apology. "Forgive me, Your Majesty. My attention wandered."

Their eyes met, and Gu searched for any sign of displeasure or awareness. The Empress's enigmatic smile, however, hinted at amusement, not indignation, her lips curling upward.

"Focus, Prime Minister," she said, her tone playful, yet commanding. "So, what's the news."

Prime Minister Gu leaned closer to the side of the pool. "Your Highness, actually there are two matters. First, I want to know if there are new changes in your body and if there are any side effects that I don't know."

He paused, studying her.

"Second," he continued, taking out a scroll from his spatial ring. "This is the map leading towards an ancient relic. You'll know why it's urgent when you see the location."

He handed the scroll to the Empress. To take it, she had to come out of the pool, exposing her upper naked body.

Her thoughts were fixed on the scroll; she couldn't care about anything else. She raised her hands and lifted her body from the water, her melons emerging from the pool. Ignoring her exposed state, she opened the scroll.

As she opened the scroll, her focus fixated on the map marked upon it, scrutinizing every detail.

The Empress's eyes the map and her eyes went wide when she saw the location.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Gu's gaze drifted, his attention captivated by the Empress's exposed melons, glistening with water droplets.

His eyes lingered as he licked his lips, tracing the curves of her flesh, his expression unreadable.

The Empress's gaze lifted from the scroll, meeting Prime Minister Gu's eyes, which still lingered on her breasts. Instead of indignation, a sly smile spread across her face.

She glanced down at her own breasts, her thoughts whispering: "If Prime minister Gu can't keep his focus, surely His Highness will adore them just as much."

Her smile deepened, a hint of mischief dancing in her eyes. The Empress's reaction caught Gu off guard, his expression frozen, unsure how to respond.

"Just focus," the Empress said, her voice teasing, yet firm.

Gu's gaze snapped back to her face, his expression composed.

She turned her attention to the map, studying it intently. "Where did you find this?" she asked, her finger tracing the intricate paths and symbols.

The map revealed a hidden location within the Royal Castle, shocking the Empress. "This can't be," she whispered. "An ancient relic, hidden here, in our own palace?"

Her eyes narrowed, scrutinizing the map for any hidden clues or markings. "How did we overlook this?"
