After all, the current empress already possesses the entire world and has seen all kinds of storms. She lacks nothing, but she has never experienced the taste of love and romance.
Perhaps it was Her Majesty the Empress who took a liking to Jiang Che's appearance and talent, which is why she brought him into the harem. And it was because of this that she gave Jiang Che the jade pendant that symbolized supreme military power.
If that's the case, then it's only natural that Jiang Che could achieve such astonishing success at such a young age.
With a powerful backer, Jiang Che had the peerless empress behind him and the terrifying foundation of the entire Immortal Dynasty, nurtured by the power of the whole country. How could he not be outstanding?
Moreover, Jiang Che's talent was already exceptional; he could truly be called a prodigy and an unparalleled genius.
As for why the Empress did not directly announce it to the world?
Perhaps she wanted to experience the feeling of being in love and didn't want to push Jiang Che into the spotlight too early?
A flurry of thoughts raced through her mind, but a glint of wisdom flashed in Mulan's eyes as she realized she was getting closer to the truth.
He then became somewhat worried, his face showing distress.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be considered that her best friend, Galo, directly cheated on Her Majesty the Empress?
After all, those two adulterers had already gotten together last night!
If Her Majesty the Empress were to become angry, Mulan could not even imagine what kind of punishment her good friend would ultimately receive.
Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, Mulan heard beautiful melodies coming from Jialuo's room as soon as she returned to the villa.
Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run yet?
Although Mulan is also a spinster, she is not some naive girl who knows nothing about love between men and women. Of course, she knows what the two of them did last night.
As if contemplating some terrifying scene, Mulan's eyes widened in fear, and she involuntarily shivered, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Having served in the army for many years and having met the Empress several times at the Daming Palace in Chang'an, Mulan was well aware of the Empress's ruthless methods. If the Empress really intended to settle scores with Jialuo because of this, how could Mulan possibly survive?
...............................
"General Mulan, what's wrong?"
Jiang Che had no idea about the chaotic thoughts in Hua Mulan's mind. Seeing her constantly changing expression, he frowned slightly and asked a question with some curiosity.
Just a moment ago she had a bright and happy smile, how did her expression change so quickly to a completely different one?
Women are so unpredictable!
If Jiang Che knew what Mulan was thinking, he would probably burst out laughing.
Would the Empress like me?
Do not make jokes!
Although Jiang Che knew that his stunning good looks were indeed very popular with women, and that countless young ladies from prominent families in Chang'an City were fond of him.
However, his stunning good looks were of no use whatsoever in front of peerless powerhouses like Haiyue and the Empress.
How could Wu Zetian, who was able to fight her way to the throne and become empress on her own, and who cultivated to the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm in just three hundred years, possibly be a lovesick fool?
Such a person is ruthless and cunning, even surpassing the cunning and ruthless Cao Cao. Cao Cao would have to act like a well-behaved schoolboy in front of her.
However, now that the world is at peace, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and thriving, and both internal and external affairs are stable, many people have forgotten Wu Zetian's ruthless methods back then. She was the kind of person who would exterminate nine generations of her family if she disagreed with someone.
Jiang Che only dared to be so unrestrained in front of Haiyue because he relied on his beautiful master's doting affection.
If it weren't for this master-disciple relationship, he would have been killed by Haiyue countless times already.
"nothing………"
"Young Master Jiang, if I may ask, what is your relationship with His Majesty?"
Why would she give you this dragon-shaped jade pendant?
Interrupted from her thoughts, Mulan gradually came to her senses, took a deep breath, and put aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind before asking directly.
"Well..."
"Her Majesty the Empress and I... I'd say our relationship is that of student and teacher..."
"My alchemy skills have been able to reach the fifth rank entirely thanks to Her Majesty the Empress's tireless teachings..."
Jiang Che reached out and stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then answered Mulan's question without deliberately hiding anything.
Wu Zetian wanted to quickly elevate her alchemy skills to the ninth rank so she could begin refining the legendary elixir that could allow cultivators to ascend to immortality.
He did indeed need Wu Zetian's guidance to gradually accumulate experience and improve his alchemy skills. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the Empress's student.
Jiang Che dared not claim to be the Empress's disciple. If such remarks reached the Empress's ears, who knew how that fierce woman would punish him?
Even though I am currently at the Great Wall, who knows how many of the Empress's spies are here?
"Students and teachers..."
Hua Mulan muttered to herself, her brows furrowing slightly. Although Jiang Che's explanation made perfect sense, Hua Mulan did not completely believe it and was determined to continue observing for a while.
If Jiang Che were merely the Empress's disciple, then all would be well.
But if Jiang Che and the Empress really have a romantic relationship, then she can start arranging for Jialuo to escape...
Try to get Jialuo out of the clouds and away from Heluo before things are completely exposed.
Otherwise, the Empress would certainly not let go of this woman who stole her man.
Although there is a high probability that the Empress will find him, at this point, we can only take it one step at a time.
With this thought in mind, Mulan's eyes quickly hardened, and she decided that after returning to the military camp, she would contact her trusted confidant in Chang'an to secretly investigate the matter.
...............................
Late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were few, the Milky Way was dazzling.
After Mulan left in a hurry, Jiang Che returned to Jialuo's boudoir.
After gently pushing open the door, Jiang Che looked around and soon saw Jialuo lying on the bed in a daze.
Jiang Che's entrance did not disturb the purple-haired Yu 557 sister, who was lost in thought.
Jiang Che walked straight to the bedside and sat down, taking Jialuo's black silk-clad, tender feet in his hands and playing with them, asking curiously.
"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"
"It's nothing...just some things from the past..."
Galo's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gave a vague reply.
Of course, she couldn't tell Jiang Che that all she had been thinking about was her wonderful life with him in the future, and that she had even thought about how many children she would have and what they would name them...
Seeing Jiang Che playing with and kneading her black-stockinged feet, Jialuo was already used to it.
After all, she now belongs entirely to Jiang Che, so isn't it perfectly reasonable for him to play with her little feet?
"My husband will be setting off for the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons in three days..."
Jiang Che didn't ask any more questions and told Jialuo about his upcoming itinerary.
"The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons?"
"Husband, is it alright if we don't go?"
Galo sat up from the bed, pouted, looked at Jiang Che with pleading eyes, and asked with a slightly aggrieved expression.
Let the light veil fall freely, revealing her fragrant shoulders and the faintly visible snow-white scenery.
Last night, when they poured out their hearts to each other, Jialuo already learned of Jiang Che's plan to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
She tried her best to dissuade him at the time, but Jiang Che ruthlessly suppressed her.
Originally, Jialuo thought that Jiang Che would change his mind after venting his anger on her, but now it seems that she was just being presumptuous. Her perverted husband has no intention of changing his mind at all.
What kind of place is the Ten Thousand Demon Cave? Gara knew it well, having been stationed along the Great Wall for many years. She knew that the Ten Thousand Demon Cave was home to a peerless demon king at the peak of the sixth rank, as well as an army of countless demon beasts.
Even though she had personally witnessed Jiang Che's fierce attack and his terrifying combat power, and knew that Jiang Che had now broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, Jialuo still couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Jiang Che is now her only one, so Jialuo naturally doesn't want Jiang Che to put himself in danger. Moreover, she has no idea why Jiang Che insists on going to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, and she is very confused.
"No need to worry, my husband has many trump cards up his sleeve. Those demonic beasts can't do anything to me..."
Sensing the deep concern in Jialuo's tone, Jiang Che felt a warmth in his heart. He offered a few words of comfort and revealed some of his trump cards to the beautiful and mature woman.
As long as no mid-stage seventh-tier demonic beasts appear in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, Jiang Che has nothing to fear.
Even if he did, he could easily resolve the crisis and overcome the difficulties with the phoenix jade hairpin given to him by his beautiful master.
If all else fails, you can use the Instant Travel Talisman to run away and instantly return to Chang'an.
"But, my husband..."
After hearing Jiang Che's answer, Jialuo felt a sense of relief, but she was still very worried. She pursed her red lips and spoke softly, wanting to continue to persuade Jiang Che.
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Che interrupted him.
"How dare you question your husband! You deserve a beating!"
Jiang Che feigned displeasure and spoke harshly.
He kissed Jialuo's black-stockinged feet and pounced on her!
"Well…………"
..................................
147: What a beauty!
...............
The next day, early in the morning.
After the woman in black stockings fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Che then left with a "pop".
After taking a bath and changing into a brand new white outfit, Jiang Che stood in front of the bed, quietly admiring the beautiful and elegant woman's exquisite sleeping face.
Galo's face was flushed, her expression alluring, and her brows were full of spring-like charm. She lay sprawled on the bed in a "big" shape, her full breasts rising and falling, and she was still muttering something indistinctly.
"My husband... loves you..."
"Humph~"
"She's a real beauty..."
Jiang Che sighed inwardly, then lowered his head slightly and gently kissed Jialuo's smooth, fair forehead. He took a silk quilt from the side and covered her up before quietly leaving the room.
