Haitang Pond.
Splash—
Yu Youhan rose from the bath.
Water droplets slid down her creamy skin, her black hair cascading like a waterfall to her waist, her buttocks pert, her legs slender—she seemed like a dazzling being from a painting.
Stepping out of the bath, the steam evaporated instantly.
The female officer waiting by her side timely picked up a bathrobe and draped it over her.
"Did the Empress leave the palace today?" Yu Youhan asked.
"Indeed." The female officer replied. "She only took Sun Senior Palace Lady with her, dressed in plain clothes. It looked as though she was headed to the Lin Residence... But she hurried back in just half an hour, no telling what happened."
"The Lin Family..."
Yu Youhan pondered for a brief moment.
The Lin Family appeared to be declining, yet still held substantial influence in the army.
Lin Wei was adept in military management, known for nurturing capable generals, with many emerging talents under his command.
