Chapter 117 How do you know he’s taking a bath?
She had never felt so aggrieved in the years since she ascended the throne.
If she wanted to surpass Jiang Mingche again, she could only restore her cultivation to its peak level as soon as possible.
But without the elixir in Jiang Mingche's hand, it would be impossible for her to recover all her skills in a short period of time.
"Unrealistic idea? Your Majesty, don't you know that... the more challenging something is, the more it can arouse people's inner desire to win?"
"How many men out there are willing to bow down before your majesty's skirt, but suffer from not having this opportunity..."
"I was also shocked by His Majesty's aura of keeping people at a distance, and I dared not go even a step beyond that..."
"In the whole world, only I, your Majesty's most trusted favorite, have the opportunity to have sex with her... Don't you agree, Your Majesty..."
Jiang Mingche leaned over Wu Zetian's ear, blowing air continuously at her pink earlobe, and took a deep breath into her neck.
"Your Majesty smells really good..."
"You traitor. Let me go."
Wu Zetian's cheeks were flushed, she was angry and also embarrassed by Jiang Mingche's intimate actions, her body was shaking constantly.
Jiang Mingche's behavior made Wu Zetian feel extremely strange again.
She kept scolding Jiang Mingche with a very cold expression and cold eyes. With her blushing cheeks, she looked inexplicably cute.
"Your Majesty has already said that I am a traitor. Do you think that traitors will listen to you, the empress?"
"Since Your Majesty has called me a traitor and a rebel... then I will commit a heinous crime."
Lifting up Wu Zetian's smooth and white chin again, Jiang Mingche kissed her seductive red lips directly.
Wu Zetian's eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Mingche in bewilderment. She kept mobilizing the power of the magic law in her body, trying to break free from Jiang Mingche's restraints.
Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, all struggles seem so futile...
"Your Majesty, I have some chores to take care of, so I will leave now. If Your Majesty misses me, just ask Miss Wan'er to go to the palace to look for me."
"At any time, at any place, I am always on standby."
Jiang Mingche released Wu Zetian's already limp body, and looked loyal. He said one sentence and left in big strides.
Today’s trip to Daming Palace was not in vain.
"Rebel...traitor..." Looking at Jiang Mingche's departing figure, Wu Zetian gritted her teeth and wanted to yell at him, but she found that she couldn't speak loudly at all.
As a last resort, Wu Zetian slumped down on the armchair beside her and tried to regulate her disordered breathing.
After a long while, Wu Zetian let out a long breath, and finally stabilized her breathing. Her face was no longer as red as before.
"What a daring fellow. How dare you forcefully kiss me twice."
Thinking back to how Jiang Mingche had forcefully kissed her just now, Wu Zetian felt extremely angry.
I deeply regretted my decision to summon Jiang Mingche today.
She originally thought that after her last warning, this guy would become more restrained.
Now it seems that she had overthought. This guy not only did not restrain himself, but became even more aggressive.
It seems that no matter what happens in the future, I can't summon this guy directly. It's better to let Wan'er convey the message directly.
Wu Zetian felt a little depressed and felt very aggrieved.
The current Tang Dynasty really cannot do without Jiang Mingche, and she can't do anything to this guy.
It seems that it would be better for her not to be alone with this guy before Jiang Mingche leaves Chang'an City and goes to the northern border.
Otherwise, she would be taken advantage of by this guy... She found that this guy was becoming more and more unscrupulous.
After walking out of the empress's bedroom, Jiang Mingche took a deep breath of fresh air, smacked his lips as if savoring the taste, and felt the fragrance between his lips.
Soft, sweet, smooth and pink.
"Even if she is the unrivaled empress of the Tang Dynasty, she probably has desires deep in her heart..." Recalling the change in Wu Zetian's expression just now, Jiang Mingche sneered.
From struggling desperately in the beginning, to gradually compromising, and finally climbing to the top of the mountain by herself, Wu Zetian looked like she was enjoying it immensely.
In her prime, even someone as powerful as Wu Zetian found it difficult to suppress this human desire instinct.
It would be fine if you didn't touch the forbidden fruit, but once the valve is opened, it would be a flood.
It seems that my trip to Daming Palace today was not in vain. Although Wu Zetian is still extremely resistant, she has obviously begun to slowly accept the fact.
In time, he will definitely make this empress kneel down and sing "Conquer".
"Prince, what are you thinking about?" Shangguan Wan'er, who was waiting at the door of the bedroom, asked with a strange expression on her face as she watched Jiang Mingche reveal an extremely evil smile from time to time.
"Ahem...nothing..." Jiang Mingche coughed dryly and shook his head awkwardly.
Damn it, I was just savoring that moment so much that I forgot Shangguan Wan'er was still here.
This is really embarrassing. Shangguan Wan'er looked at Jiang Mingche with some suspicion, but she didn't ask any more questions.
After saying goodbye to Shangguan Wan'er, Jiang Mingche left the Daming Palace directly.
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Jiang Mingche saw an old acquaintance, Sikong Zhen.
Sikong Zhen obviously also noticed Jiang Mingche's presence. He came directly in front of Jiang Mingche, bowed, and was very polite.
Although Jiang Mingche is the regent, Sikong Zhen is the head of all officials and his status is equally high.
The reason why he was so respectful to Jiang Mingche was mainly because Sikong Zhen had always remembered the last time Jiang Mingche spoke up for him in front of Wu Zetian.
"Your Majesty..."
"So it's Lord Sikong... You and I are officials in the same court, and we both hold important positions. We are both staff members, so there's no need to be so polite." Jiang Mingche waved his hand and said.
Sikong Zhen's position in the court was not as high as his, but he also held a lot of power.
Apart from anything else, the 5,000 Storm Troops in Sikong Zhen's hands is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Although it is true that he is the General of Tian Ce of the Tang Dynasty, he has no right to interfere with the Storm Army under Sikong Zhen. The Storm Army is only under the jurisdiction of Sikong Zhen and Wu Zetian.
"Lord Sikong, are you going to the palace to report to His Majesty?" After some polite exchanges, Jiang Mingche asked curiously.
Ever since Wu Zetian ordered the recovery of the mechanical magic core and the reconstruction of the Storm Army, the relationship between Sikong Zhen and Wu Zetian has eased a lot, and they are no longer as confrontational as before.
If there had been no order from Wu Zetian, the day of the International Lantern Festival would have been the time for Sikong Zhen to steal the core of the mechanism.
At that time, Sikong Zhen took advantage of the fact that Wu Zetian's strength had not fully recovered, and even used mechanical devices to create a fake empress.
"Your Highness's guess is correct. Zhen does have something he wants to report to His Majesty..." Sikong Zhen nodded, not smiling. His expression was cold, as if he never smiled.
"I think Sir Sikong should not go to His Majesty now... His Majesty should be bathing in the bedroom now..." Jiang Mingche shook his head and advised against it. If nothing unexpected happened, Wu Zetian should be bathing now, right?
"Your Majesty is taking a bath...How did Your Majesty know?" Sikong Zhen looked at Jiang Mingche with a strange expression, his face full of suspicion.
Jiang Mingche's words reminded Sikong Zhen of the rumors about the relationship between Jiang Mingche and Wu Zetian that had been circulating between the government and the public.
Many officials in the court speculated that the reason why Jiang Mingche was so favored by Wu Zetian was that he must have had an affair with Wu Zetian.
After all, no matter how great his achievements are, it is impossible to easily confer titles such as General Tiance and Regent, the two symbols of supreme status.
Moreover, Jiang Mingche is indeed a handsome and elegant man.
After all, Wu Zetian was a woman, so it was understandable that she would be attracted to a man, or even fall in love with him.
However, due to the pressure from Wu Zetian and Jiang Mingche, no one ever dared to talk about these things to their faces.
After all, these two are ruthless and taciturn characters, and anyone who offends one of them will be beheaded.
At first, Sikong Zhen was very disdainful of these rumors in the court and the public, but Jiang Mingche's words made him suspicious again.
It seemed that Jiang Mingche had just come out of the Daming Palace and had just met the empress.
But how did this guy know that Wu Zetian was bathing? Could it be...
"You think too much. These are all told to me by Miss Wan'er. I didn't see His Majesty just now..."
Noticing Sikong Zhen's strange expression, Jiang Mingche made up something.
"I see. I was thinking the wrong way... I hope Your Highness will forgive me..."
After listening to Jiang Mingche's explanation, Sikong Zhen was stunned for a moment and said with some embarrassment.
"It's just a small matter..." Jiang Mingche waved his hand, looking as if he didn't care at all.
Although Sikong Zhen didn't say anything just now, it was not difficult for Jiang Mingche to guess what he was thinking.
After all, he had heard about the rumors between the government and the opposition. Although they were a little outrageous, they were basically correct, right?
"Since His Majesty is bathing, I'd better go back directly..."
Sikong Zhen shook his head. Anyway, it wasn't a particularly important matter for him to look for Wu Zetian, so it wouldn't matter if he delayed it for a day or two.
It won’t be too late to report to the other party during the next morning court session.
"Your Highness, would you like to come to my Yuhengsi and have a visit?" Sikong Zhen directly invited Jiang Mingche.
Because of the Storm Army incident, he has never properly thanked Jiang Mingche.
"In that case, thank you for bothering me... I also want to see how powerful the invincible Storm Army is..." Jiang Mingche said with a faint smile and agreed directly.
He had never seen the true appearance of the Storm Army. Since Sikong Zhen had invited him, he could see how powerful the Storm Army that made all the countries tremble was.
"Your Highness, please..." Sikong Zhen made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them talked all the way as they headed towards the direction of Yu Hengsi.
