Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 291 Queen Mother, You Smell So Good
Rain fell on Qingcheng, and the accumulated water filled the criss-crossing battle scars and gullies on the ground.

The snowy owl flapped its wings and flew past the back mountain of Qingcheng, leaving a trail of water in the rain. It landed on the top of the willow tree and looked around.

Many officers and soldiers in uniform marched into the mountains in an orderly manner, leaving a black line in the green mountains.

Yan Jiu wore the uniform of the Detective Department and was standing under a tree talking with several captains of police… He had joined King Jin in the first place because he cared about his family and wanted to find a backer, so now it was natural for him to pay his respects to Zhao Wumian.

Yan Jiu is nearly thirty years old. He has been to many places and has a lot of experience in the underworld. It is obvious that he is suitable to be a spy.

Xuexiao looked at his smug face and exclaimed in his heart, Yan Jiu can eat the same official food as it and be on equal footing?
In the wooden house on the mountain not far away, the wooden window was pushed open, revealing the mature, beautiful and delicate face of the empress dowager. Although her expression remained graceful and elegant, she couldn't help but sighed softly when she glanced at the officers and soldiers down the mountain.

No matter how complicated the matter in Qingcheng Mountain is, it should come to an end as the soldiers enter the mountain... Even if Zhao Wumian continues to stay, there is actually nothing he should do, which means it is time to return to Beijing.

I left Beijing in early February, and now it's March, and it will be almost April when I return to Beijing.

After I go back, I don’t know how long I will have to wait before I can leave Beijing.

The next step for Zhao Wumian should be to find a way to seize the inlaid gold Boshan furnace.

It would not be appropriate to bring along a burden with her mediocre martial arts skills in such an important matter as the fight for the Nine Bells, and the Queen Mother did not want to be a burden either.

However, the empress dowager is not as sentimental as a little girl at her age. After a brief loss, she calmed down and started to think about her private affairs with Zhao Wumian.

She looked at her bare hands without leaving any trace.

The Queen Mother was not shy. At her age and with her experience, it was difficult for her to be shy or embarrassed. She just recalled the feeling that night and was curious...

I wonder what it would feel like if it really happened, but it seems that the only person who has experienced it so far is Su Qingqi...

She is not very familiar with Miss Su, so she definitely wouldn't ask about this.

If it was Shen Xiangge, she would definitely explore the feeling.

But after what happened with Zhao Wumian, it would be difficult for her to get along with her son-in-law as before as a mother-in-law in the future. It would be pure self-deception to pretend that nothing had happened.

This really made the empress dowager feel troubled. She was a very conservative woman at heart, otherwise she would not have stayed in the deep palace for ten years. She would rather be lonely and miserable than find a lover to relieve her loneliness... After all, she was the empress dowager of the current dynasty. If she had such a thing with a man, her chastity arch would be completely destroyed, not to mention that this man was the lover of her niece and nominal daughter.

How can you compete with the younger generation for a man? What will that mean?

The Queen Mother has been thinking about this matter these days, but has not figured it out. She wants to discuss it with her sister Mu Lier. Mu Lier has been running around with Zhao Wumian these days to handle official business.

Alas... since he has a disciple, he doesn't care about his sister. When he was a child, he always followed her around and called her "Sister Nan Ge" all the time.

As her emotions turned, she suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind. Zhao Wumian used his Qinggong to fly down from the mountain, his long boots stepped on the roof, and then he held the eaves with one hand, lowered his upper body as if he was standing upside down, raised his hand and knocked on the wooden window, interrupting the empress dowager's worries, "Madam, is the hat mended?"

Zhao Wumian's black hair, tied up by a headband, fell to the ground. He appeared upside down in front of the window like a wanderer, which scared the empress dowager. Seeing the person who made her feel complicated appear, the empress dowager did not have any extra expression on her face. She just glanced at Zhao Wumian with a little helplessness.

"You have been becoming more and more disrespectful recently. I am the Queen Mother, not the Marquis' mother."

"The state affairs have been unstable recently, and His Majesty and I have our own things to do. I guess she is not in the mood to think about matters between men and women, so nothing happened between her and me. But sooner or later, he will become the empress dowager's son-in-law... So what if I call you mother?" Zhao Wumian smiled indifferently.

The Queen Mother didn't like what she heard. So, you want to pretend that nothing happened that night?
However, this matter made the empress dowager feel very upset. She didn't want to talk about it anymore. She turned around and walked into the house without saying a word, looking a little angry.

During the fight, a hole was poked in the center of the hat, so the Queen Mother asked for it to be mended. In fact, it had been mended long ago, but Zhao Wumian never came to ask for it, so the Queen Mother put it in the bedside table and waited for Zhao Wumian to come and get it one day...

She wouldn't offer it up for free.

She came to the bed, bent down, tidied the hair that fell on the side of her face, opened the cabinet, and her exaggerated hips outlined an arc under her dress that shocked Zhao Wumian. The full lapels in front of her body also drooped down under gravity, just like two Hami melons growing on a slender peach tree, pressing down on the branches and ready to fall at any time.

The slender branches and large fruits made Zhao Wumian a little suspicious of how the Queen Mother could move around with such a slender waist in her daily life...

He looked around and didn't see anyone, just some masters from the Imperial Palace hiding in the dark to protect him.

These days, Zhao Wumian didn't look for the empress dowager, and the empress dowager didn't look for him... In fact, both of them were thinking about what happened that night in their hearts.

After experiencing the forbidden feeling of the immoral excitement, Zhao Wumian felt a little addicted...but this was just desire, and he didn't know what the Queen Mother thought.

But in the past, when the empress dowager had a rare chance to relax in Qingcheng, she would have pestered Zhao Wumian to take her out to play. But now that she didn't do that, it was obvious that she was worried about this matter.

It is obviously not a solution to continue like this...what happened has already happened, and Zhao Wumian can no longer simply regard the Queen Mother as half mother-in-law and aunt.

He has never been an indecisive person in terms of feelings.

Tap—crunch.

Just as the empress dowager opened the cabinet and put on her hat, she heard the sound of something falling and a window closing behind her. Before she turned around, her buttocks were suddenly pinched, and a tingling sensation she had never felt before spread throughout her body at an extremely fast speed.

No matter how mature the empress dowager was, she was still a virgin, and her body immediately trembled uncontrollably.

She turned her head suddenly, her eyes widened with disbelief and astonishment, staring at Zhao Wumian closely, one hand covering her hips, the other holding her bamboo hat to her chest, the word "outrageous" was about to come out of her mouth, and then she heard Zhao Wumian say:
"Your Majesty, please don't make a sound. You don't want the masters outside to know about what happened between you and me, do you?"

The Queen Mother's face was rarely dull. If this kind of threat came from anyone else, the Queen Mother would have ordered people to hack the scoundrel to death. But the person who said this was Zhao Wumian, so the Queen Mother was a little, a little, um...

Zhao Wumian wouldn't normally say something like this. Could he have discovered my little quirk?

At this juncture, the Queen Mother was wondering if her little secret had been exposed... Her train of thought was similar to Zi Yi's, and both were a bit weird at certain moments.

Indeed, Zhao Wumian was not stupid. He realized that night that the empress dowager seemed to like this tune... She liked the drama of the vicious marquis bullying the innocent empress dowager.

Seeing the empress dowager standing there in a daze, not knowing whether she was frightened by these words or was half-heartedly accepting them, Zhao Wumian took a step forward and moved closer to the empress dowager.

The empress dowager subconsciously took a step back, her legs resting on the edge of the bed. If she moved any further, she would lose her balance and collapse on the bed. But how could the empress dowager be a little girl who allowed herself to be bullied? No matter how lonely and miserable she was, and how playful and mischievous she was, she was still the empress dowager who was the mother of the country, and she had her own pride in her heart.

Seeing that she had shown her cowardice, the surprised expression on her face suddenly disappeared, and turned into a half-smile.

Far from being afraid, she raised her bare hands and took the initiative to lift Zhao Wumian's chin, smiling faintly like a queen, her breath as sweet as orchid, "I just bent down to pick up something, but the Marquis couldn't restrain his lust for me?"

Zhao Wumian lowered his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother's fingertips hooked on his chin. He felt a little confused. Was he bullying the Queen Mother, or was she bullying him? Shouldn't she like him being so domineering?

This situation seems a little wrong... However, Zhao Wumian's expression did not change. He raised his hand and held the hand that was hooked under his chin, and asked: "Does the Queen Mother know me?"

"Not as much as Miss Su." The Queen Mother glanced down with an unpredictable smile as a superior, "But it's not small, at least I know the size of the Marquis very well."

Zhao Wumian's eyes twitched, but he still said impartially: "Then the Queen Mother should know that for me, what I can suppress is just desire, and what I can't suppress is lust."

The Queen Mother put down her bamboo hat, freed her hands, covered her lips with her sleeves, and pretended to be surprised, "You are quite good at saying sweet words... Are you interested in me?"

Zhao Wumian nodded honestly.

The empress dowager was not happy. Instead, she pulled her hand out of Zhao Wumian's palm, tapped Zhao Wumian's shoulder with her fingertips, pushed him back a few steps, then raised her hand and lightly lifted the hem of her dress, sat casually on the couch, crossed her long legs, raised her eyes slightly, although she was looking up at Zhao Wumian, she had a sense of nobility and pride, and her momentum was not diminished at all.

"It's easy to agree, but in the final analysis, you just covet my body." The Queen Mother was not as shy as the little girl when she talked about this. She was open and forthright, raising her plump legs under her green skirt. "I only have desire, but no love. I don't want it. My Lord, don't think that I am like Miss Su who will be moved to tears by a few words of love. A woman who goes to bed with you..."

The Queen Mother paused, resting her elbows on her knees and her chin on her palms. "You like me, and I like you too... Only in this way can the Marquis have a chance. Have I made myself clear?"

Zhao Wumian glanced at the empress dowager's raised feet and inexplicably saw Shen Xiangge... This aunt and niece were indeed biological children.

The Queen Mother often said dirty words, but if you really thought she was such a frivolous woman, she would obviously not survive more than a few days in the palace.

If you want to go further with her...it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven, both in terms of personality and status.
"That's too complicated... Doesn't the Queen Mother just want the two of them to be in love with each other?"

"Yes." The Queen Mother's smile faded for some reason, and her face was expressionless. "Talking about this in the palace, still talking about this at such an old age...Does the Marquis think that I am ridiculous?"

"Old?" Zhao Wumian recalled, "These days, I often talked with Yuan... Xiao Yuanmu about the past, and then I learned... that I am about the same age as Miss Shen. I am twenty-four this year, only four years younger than the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was slightly startled, and then her heart skipped a beat. She had always thought that Zhao Wumian was twenty years old, or even less than twenty. After all, Zhao Wumian looked only about eighteen or nineteen years old... Now that they were close in age, although it was still inappropriate for their identities, it was obviously a bit of comfort.

She did not show the slight joy in her heart, but looked at Zhao Wumian indifferently, "At the age of 25, you can be called a nanny in the palace. If so, I will not be in a hurry to marry Xiangge off... The Marquis is about the same age as me, which only means that you are also an old man, not that I am young."

"Old man? Did I offend the Queen Mother in some way? Why are you saying such vicious things?"

"Is it not enough to mention Xiao Yuanmu in front of me? You even want to call her Yuanmu... It's strange that you are so close to her. You obviously don't remember her at all, but your relationship is still so good. I can't imagine what your relationship with her was before you lost your memory..."

When talking about this matter, the Queen Mother and Zhao Wumian were both silent... This matter has always been sensitive.

"I have also called Queen Mother Nan'er many times."

"It's just a joke. What can it prove? In Marquis Weiming's heart, can I be compared to even a hair of Xiao Yuanmu in your heart?" The Queen Mother looked into Zhao Wumian's eyes and said softly.

Obstacles such as the empress dowager, half-mother-in-law, and aunt are secondary...this is the crux of the problem.

Shen Nange is the queen mother, she will not take things left over by others. If she likes a man, then the man must like her the most.

Such a character.

She didn't care that Zhao Wumian had three wives and four concubines, but if he really wanted to have a relationship with her, he had to put her first... What's more, Xiao Yuanmu was a rebel from the Chen Kingdom who stood on the opposite side of the Queen Mother.

They are enemies in national affairs, and there is absolutely no reason for them to make concessions in matters of love between men and women.

Do you really think she is a girl who can be dismissed by just winking at her finger and saying some sweet words?
Miss Shen Nan Ge of the Shen family ten years ago might have been one, but the current Empress Dowager Shen Nan Ge is obviously not one.

Zhao Wumian was silent.

The Queen Mother withdrew her gaze and looked at the bamboo hat placed on the couch. Her voice seemed to come from a faraway place, "Since we can't compare, don't talk about liking each other... If you can't even achieve mutual affection, how can you talk about breaking through the shackles of status... I understand the intentions of the Marquis Weiming, but since the Marquis still has Xiao Yuanmu in his heart, then I..."

The Queen Mother paused again, then shook her head slightly, "Forget it. Besides, I can't do anything to snatch the man my niece loves."

The original Queen Mother had been suffering from this matter, similar to Murlier back then...but she was not Murlier.

Mu Lier is full of ambition, free and easy, but she is indecisive when it comes to matters between men and women. She thinks twice before acting, for fear that she will make a wrong decision and regret it for the rest of her life.

The Queen Mother's martial arts skills were mediocre and she was weak, but she had always been decisive. Now that she had spoken out, there was no need for her to hesitate.

Her meaning was very clear. You like me, and I am not indifferent to you, but the hatred between the Dali royal family and Xiao Yuanmu is not so easy to let go. Since you like Xiao Yuanmu so much more than her, then don't mention anything about men and women to her. The Queen Mother's idea is actually correct. Treating everyone equally is just an appearance. It is self-evident who Zhao Wumian likes more in his heart... There is no need to say self-deceiving words that you will be treated equally in the future and be good to both of you.

What the Queen Mother wants is not appearance, but Zhao Wumian's heart.

The Queen Mother's words were somewhat cruel and ruthless, but Zhao Wumian did not feel angry or disappointed...wasn't he the same?

If he wanted to sleep with the Queen Mother and have a taste of what it was like to be the Queen Mother of the current dynasty, he could have done so that night, but Zhao Wumian still refused at that time... Why?
He wanted the Queen Mother's heart and her love, so the Queen Mother also wanted his heart and his love... It was very normal.

This is what is called mutual love.

Zhao Wumian couldn't help but smile.

The Queen Mother stood there in a daze, frowning at him, "Zhao Wumian, what are you laughing at? Do you think I said this lightly and indifferently? Do you think I am not sad in my heart when I say this?"

Zhao Wumian replied: "I just found out today that the Queen Mother takes this matter so seriously. I'm afraid she's been tossing and turning in bed every night, thinking about this matter."

"I don't understand." The Queen Mother frowned even more deeply, "Are you mocking me for being childish? At my age, I'm still thinking so seriously about love affairs?"

"This proves that the Queen Mother has thought seriously about our future together, and is not being tricked into bed by me just by beckoning her finger... This is the Queen Mother's love for me, so I'm happy."

The Queen Mother's eyes widened. "I told you not to think about sex anymore, but you're thinking that I have feelings for you?"

"You only care about such details if you like the Queen Mother." Zhao Wumian whispered, "In my heart, I definitely like Xiao Yuanmu more, but I also want to be in love with the Queen Mother."

"You don't like me the most, and you still want to be with me?"

"Correct."

"You turned a deaf ear to what I just said?"

"No, but I still don't want to miss the Queen Mother."

"Have you ever thought that what you said is very disrespectful to me?"

"If respect means missing out on the Queen Mother, then it's better not to respect her."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed at Zhao Wumian's words, but she couldn't help feeling a little bitter in her heart... Why is this man so stubborn?

But the purpose of his stubbornness was to love her... This idea was too hypocritical. At the Queen Mother's age, she felt embarrassed just thinking about it, so she didn't want to think about it too much, but just felt her heart throbbing.

She fell silent.

Zhao Wumian knew that the Queen Mother was considering it seriously, so he remained silent.

If this conversation happened to girls like Su Qingqi, Luo Xiangzhu, they would probably cry, but the empress dowager obviously would not cry. She thought seriously, put her hands on her thighs, and couldn't help but pinch the corner of her skirt tightly.

Zhao Wumian actually felt a little nervous in his heart. It didn't matter how much he had experienced, how free and easy he was, or how passionate he was... As long as he still cared about the word "love", he would not turn a blind eye to it.

If one regards the Queen Mother as a tool to satisfy lust, one naturally would not care too much about what the Queen Mother thinks... As for the bulldozer, as long as he can sleep with the Queen Mother, it's fine, but Zhao Wumian is obviously not that kind of person.

Finally, the Queen Mother had an answer, and she said, "Okay."

The two were actually very close, only three steps apart, but it was only at this moment that Zhao Wumian smelled the fragrance wafting from the empress dowager and the unique scent of flowers and plants on Mount Qingcheng.

"What does this 'OK' mean?" Given Zhao Wumian's personality, his tone was actually a bit cautious. He wanted to confirm, so he asked.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath to calm her accelerated heartbeat. She maintained her usual elegance and said, "I will no longer say that you and I are strangers."

Saying this is the same as not saying it.

Zhao Wumian continued to confirm, "It means that the Queen Mother is willing to do the same as Miss Su..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "Zhao Wumian."

"Hmm?" Zhao Wumian became serious.

The Queen Mother would only address him by his name when talking about serious matters.

The Queen Mother loosened her bare hands that were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, took the bamboo hat on the couch, clasped her hands together, and covered her chest with it. She looked to the side, as if she was a little embarrassed, and said in a soft voice: "I am already 28 years old, and it is too embarrassing to talk about these things that young girls talk about when they are in love. Don't mention it again in the future. It's very embarrassing..."

When the Queen Mother teased Zhao Wumian, she pretended to be shy many times, but this was probably the first time she showed genuine shyness.

Zhao Wumian couldn't help but stare in amazement, then he raised his hands high, "Okay!"

His voice was so powerful that it startled the birds in the forest around the mountain and made them fly away.

The masters of the imperial palace in the dark looked at each other, but no one knocked on the door to ask... The experiences of the past few days have made them understand that not only the matters between Marquis Weiming and the emperor, but also the matters between the marquis and the queen mother should not be asked too much.

The Queen Mother often said obscene words to tease the Marquis. If they asked too many questions, it would only make them seem unromantic.

Inside the room, Zhao Wumian couldn't stop smiling... In fact, the Queen Mother still didn't give a specific answer. She still spoke very implicitly, but the answer was clear enough.

Seeing Zhao Wumian so happy, the empress dowager felt a warm current in her heart, but she had already suppressed the barely perceptible shyness on her face, and instead smiled, as always, with a charming and mature smile.

"Don't mention this matter again, but don't think that..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Wumian holding up her beautiful face, leaning down, venting the excitement in his heart.

boo~
The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with surprise. No, so anxious? Her lips were held tightly, and the Queen Mother was a little annoyed. But if she made a sound, it would be over if the masters outside heard it. She could only press her hands against Zhao Wumian's chest and clench her teeth to prevent Zhao Wumian from going deeper.

The Queen Mother refused, so Zhao Wumian didn't have much time to taste the Queen Mother's red lips, only about a cup of tea, and then they slowly separated. He saw that the area around the Queen Mother's red lips was a little red and swollen from Zhao Wumian's kisses...

Oh... the Queen Mother is not like Miss Su and the Master. She is not very skilled in martial arts. Zhao Wumian cannot use too much force, otherwise something might happen.

With Zhao Wumian's current physical condition, an ordinary woman really couldn't bear it.

Zhao Wumian knew that the Queen Mother had something else to say, so he didn't say much and asked directly: "What does the Queen Mother want to say?"

The Queen Mother covered her red lips with her sleeves, and looked at Zhao Wumian with a little caution. Her voice came from under her sleeves, "The Marquis knows our identities very well... This matter must not be revealed, even to Miss Su, your master is the emperor, Xiangge... You can't tell them, even if they ask, you should keep your mouth shut, understand?"

Ah, this... Master wants me to keep it a secret from you, and you want me to keep it a secret from Master... This development seems a bit...

Zhao Wumian wanted to say that Master and I had been together for a long time... but he couldn't tell anyone about this without Mu Lier's consent. The same was true for the Queen Mother's matter, so he nodded silently, "What else?"

"Also..." The alert expression on the Queen Mother's face turned into the unique charm and seduction of a mature woman, "I will not compromise. Before I completely win your heart, don't even think about having anything happen with me... I will only undress when you sincerely admit that you love me more than Xiao Yuanmu... Do you understand?"

As she spoke, the empress dowager had a look of satisfaction on her face... She was obviously imagining Xiao Yuanmu's expression at that time.

Zhao Wumian blinked his eyes, not wanting to offend the Queen Mother, so he said implicitly: "Without three to five years, I'm afraid it will be impossible..."

“Three to five years, ten years, it sounds scary, but in fact, nothing will be left after the wind blows.” The embroidered shoes under the empress dowager’s skirt slowly rose up, and she hooked Zhao Wumian’s calf with her arch of the foot. “Before that, I am still the most beautiful woman in the capital, and the most beautiful woman in the world. My Lord, don’t worry that I will grow old and lose my beauty in a few years…”

There is actually no such thing as the most beautiful woman in the world, but if the Queen Mother says she is the most beautiful, Zhao Wumian can’t think of anyone who is more beautiful than her... The women around him all have their own charms and beauties, and it’s impossible to tell who is better. It seems that whoever is the most beautiful woman in the world is right.

This matter was insignificant, but the empress dowager's embroidered shoes made Zhao Wumian feel a little itchy.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch, and Zhao Wumian stood in front of her. From this angle...

The empress dowager put down her hat, supported herself on the couch with both hands, leaned back to lift her feet, and glanced straight ahead... the smile on her face became more and more intense.

This kind of thing is easier to do than to say those embarrassing words... The Queen Mother is not a young girl after all, and it is really hard for her to say those words just now, but to satisfy Zhao Wumian... The Queen Mother has learned a lot from pornographic books.

One embroidered shoe stepped on the heel of the other, and with a little force, the embroidered shoe fell to the ground, revealing the foot wearing pure white silk stockings inside the shoe.

In spring, the stockings are not that thick, but rather thin. Through the stockings, you can see the extremely beautiful and attractive arch of the foot and the faint veins.

Zhao Wumian's breathing quickened a little, and he raised his hand to grab the Queen Mother's feet, but the Queen Mother dodged it easily and stepped up to touch the burning...

Sometimes step on it, sometimes squeeze it.

Zhao Wumian's breath was choked.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled even more, "Marquis Weiming has often looked at me secretly in the past... I know everything. You like these, right..."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother began to slowly exert force.

Zhao Wumian couldn't help but bend down and take off the empress dowager's other embroidered shoe. After kneading her foot in silk stockings for a few times, he grabbed one of her ankles with one hand... and stepped on it with one hand, squeezing it with the other.

After a moment, he was half on top of the Queen Mother, with the tip of his nose against her neck.

"Queen...you smell so good..."

The empress dowager used her feet to pat Zhao Wumian's back gently with her free hands. She was clearly the empress dowager of the current dynasty, but her face looked like a seductress, with an evil and enchantment that was under her control.

"What Xiao Yuanmu can give you, I can give you too. What she can't give you, I can also give you...Do you think it will really take three to five years, Lord?"

At this moment, perhaps only the word "Demon Queen" can be enough to describe Shen Nange.

There is no doubt that she will whisper to Zhao Wumian in the next moment.
In fact, Zhao Wumian should have known long ago, how many normal women are around him?
It just seemed normal in front of him.

But this is enough to make him fall asleep... Zhao Wumian admitted that he had fallen into the arms of the empress dowager.

The Demon Queen also admitted it...
