Just why did she feel so stuffy and suffocated inside?
It seemed that she needed to eat more spicy strips to relieve the gloom.
So she tore open several packs of spicy strips and kept stuffing them into her mouth.
Several at a time.
Suddenly, her eyes began to moisten.
She reached up to wipe them and they were so spicy that she cried.
She sniffled and continued eating.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but they were so spicy that she was crying a river.
She couldn't stand it anymore and went to look for some water to drink.
But she discovered that there was only hot water in the room, no ice.
So she called for a waiter to bring up a glass of iced juice.
No sooner had she put down the phone than she heard the doorbell ring.
The Empress, with several spicy strips still in her mouth, paused in surprise. That was fast!
She ran barefoot to open the door.
Yet when she pulled the door open, there stood Lu Hualiang with a stormy expression at the hotel entrance.
