After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 425: Wearing the imperial robe! Visiting the Queen!
In the study room of the Marquis Guanjun’s Mansion.

Jiang Che and the Red Blood Demon Lord stood aside, and on the ground lay a figure with her eyes closed. It was none other than Ji Changsheng's princess consort Xu Qiuyue, but at this moment she seemed to be unconscious, and her breath was weak.

"Is this what you call control?"

Jiang Che pointed at the figure on the ground and looked at the Red Blood Demon Lord.

The other party grinned at him:
"What's the hurry?"

As he spoke, a small blood-colored bell appeared in the hand of the Red Blood Demon Lord, and he shook it gently.

Jingle bells.
On the ground, Xu Qiuyue's fingers trembled slightly, as if they had suddenly come alive.

“Not only have I placed restrictions on her, I have also left a blood curse on her. This bell is the key to controlling her. Just give it a slight shake and her memory will be distorted in a short period of time.

She will treat you as her master and do whatever she wants from you. However, in order to prevent the people from the Qingtian Sect from finding out, if you fail to continue shaking the bell within two hours, she will return to her original state.

Of course, nothing about you and me will appear in her memory."

An evil smile appeared on the face of the Red Blood Demon Lord as he introduced Xu Qiuyue's current condition.

Jiang Che took the bell and looked at it, then glanced at the Red Blood Demon Lord thoughtfully.

In terms of means, it has to be the Red Blood Demon Lord.

It is really extraordinary that one can control others in this way.

About a hundred breaths after the Red Blood Demon Lord finished his introduction, Xu Qiuyue suddenly opened her eyes, a trace of blood flashed in her eyes, and then she returned to normal. She stared at Jiang Che for a moment, and suddenly bowed down:

"Meet the master."

"With this thing, she is now your puppet. Hehe, how about trying the feeling of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sharing the same husband? She won't refuse."

The Red Blood Demon Lord gave Jiang Che a look that every man understood.

But Jiang Che chose to ignore it:
"Senior, you got the wrong person."

The Red Blood Demon Lord curled his lips, obviously not believing Jiang Che's words.

But in fact, Jiang Che really didn't have that intention.

Although he had had many women, he also had some pursuits. Not everyone was qualified to be whipped with a stick by him. At least the puppet-like Xu Qiuyue was not worth his trouble.

Although the other person's appearance is good, it is just good.

Compared with a stunning beauty like Queen Xue Bai'er, she is so inferior, and under control, she is almost like a puppet. What sense of accomplishment can she have?

"Tell me who the Qingtian Sect has planted in the capital and what they have done." Jiang Che stared at Xu Qiuyue and said calmly.

"Qingtian Sect"

Xu Qiuyue seemed to have lost all emotions. She had no feelings at all and told everything in her memory with an expressionless face.

Jiang Che was secretly shocked when he heard this.

The Qingtian Sect was even more powerful than he had imagined. Not only had it extended its reach to various departments of the imperial court, but there were also people from the Qingtian Sect in the black government. However, Xu Qiuyue did not know the details.

She can only be considered a contact person. After receiving orders from the Qingtian Sect, she will pass the orders down layer by layer and will not have any real contact with the people below.

The purpose of her existence beside Ji Changsheng is that the Qingtian Sect wants to support him to take the throne, so as to control him and then influence the court if Ji Changsheng becomes emperor one day.

Then the Qingtian Sect would have truly accomplished its mission.

Jiang Che and the Red Blood Demon Lord looked at each other, with a strange look in their eyes. His decision was right. If he had not controlled Xu Qiuyue, he would definitely not have such a clear understanding of the Qingtian Sect.

With Xu Qiuyue, he not only learned the identities of some of the Qingtian Sect's hidden men, but he might also have the opportunity to use the Qingtian Sect's power to achieve his own goals in the future.

"Come on, follow me back to the Prince's Palace to meet your husband."

"Yes, Master."

"Hahaha, it's an honor for my palace that Brother Jiang is here." As soon as Jiang Che showed up in front of the prince's mansion, Ji Changsheng came to greet him in person with an irrepressible smile on his face.

He was indeed very happy.

It was not only because Jiang Che kept the appointment, but also because Jiang Che rejected all other invitations to dinner and only came to his house. Is there anything else to say about such behavior?
As long as it gets out, it will surely spread throughout the capital.

His hope of becoming the crown prince will also be greater.

To this end, in addition to hosting a banquet for Jiang Che, he also called together a number of other forces that supported him, all of whom were powerful people in the capital. With them around, there was no need to worry about the news not getting out.

But in Jiang Che's opinion, this was a bit too much.

The news of his coming here could not be concealed at all.

There is no need to invite other people specifically.

Of course, since he was already here, Jiang Che didn't have much to say. He responded to Ji Changsheng's enthusiasm with a smile.

The other dignitaries, who were also smart people, immediately stepped forward to flatter Jiang Che, praising his ability in killing the traitors of the Qingtian Sect and expressing how much they admired him.

Ji Changsheng saw that Jiang Che was being perfunctory, and quickly explained in a low voice:
"Brother Jiang, please don't blame me. After they knew that I was inviting you to a banquet, they took the initiative to come to my house for the banquet. I can't stop them. If you feel uncomfortable later, Brother Jiang,

You can go to the study and have a cup of tea. The Queen Mother is there too."

Ji Changsheng didn't know the story between Jiang Che and his mother, but he knew that there might be some kind of deal between them, so he naturally wanted to maintain this relationship, for fear that Jiang Che would be dissatisfied.

Jiang Che raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.

Since the last time Queen Xue came to visit him, he knew that she had been influenced by his mighty power, and would most likely make an appointment to meet him before he was about to leave the capital.

It makes sense to meet him in the prince's palace.

"Haha, Your Highness, you are overthinking. Jiang has no intention of blaming you."

Jiang Che patted Ji Changsheng on the shoulder.

He has been to the other party's hometown countless times and has left a warm feeling in his hometown. If you really count it, he can indeed be called the other party's elder.

Ji Changsheng glanced over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes at first, but then he pretended nothing had happened and pulled Jiang Che into the mansion. Jiang Che's behavior was indeed a bit rude to him.

But after what he had experienced before, he was patient enough.

After all, this was the help that the Queen Mother had worked so hard to obtain.

He doesn't want to get into trouble over trivial matters.

Besides, he also understood Jiang Che's feelings.

Although his mother told him that the two sides had made a deal and that it took a lot of effort to win over Jiang Che, he knew in his heart that Jiang Che must have suffered a lot of grievances.

After all, he was facing the queen, so it was normal for him to be suppressed.

At the banquet, Jiang Che had a great conversation with Ji Changsheng and several other dignitaries. Ji Changsheng was so happy that he couldn't stop raising his glass, and a little drunkenness appeared on his face.

He laughed and said:

"Brother Jiang, I hope you will forgive me for any offense I have caused you before."

"Your Highness, you are joking. There is no obstacle between you and me. On the contrary, Jiang is very optimistic about Your Highness."

This show made the other people at the banquet look at each other in bewilderment and make up their minds.

After finishing all this, Jiang Che stood up and prepared to leave. He had no interest in chatting with these people about love and romance or discussing court affairs. Instead of spending time like that, he might as well go and take a look around the Queen Xue Bai'er's bedroom.

He immediately said:
"Everyone continue. Jiang is going to leave for a while."

Ji Changsheng immediately understood and realized that his mother's power of deterrence was still greater. Even Jiang Che had to treat her with caution. He must go and pay his respects to her at this moment.

"Brother Jiang, please go. Brother Jiang, please go."

"Mr. Wu Wei, how about my wine?"

The noise in his ears gradually died down, and the smile on Jiang Che's face gradually faded. Under the guidance of the servants, he came to the study on the west side of the prince's mansion and waved his hand to signal the servants to leave.

Jiang Che knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A cold voice came from the study.

"It's me." Jiang Che then let go of some of his aura.

"come in."

"it is good."

Jiang Che immediately pushed the door open and walked in. Queen Xue Bai'er, who was working at the desk in the study, raised her head immediately. She had delicate makeup on her face and was dressed in gorgeous clothes, no less than the time she was in the Marquis' Mansion a few days ago.

She was wearing a phoenix robe trimmed with gold thread, exuding a calm and unhurried temperament. She wore a golden phoenix crown on her head, and a calm and luxurious aura was revealed among the jewels.

Her long hair was tied up and the golden hairpins were shining.

The plump figure is displayed to the fullest.

Jiang Che just took a glance and the dragon's head moved slightly.

'squeak'

The door of the study slowly closed.

Jiang Che approached Queen Xue step by step, sizing her up with discerning eyes:
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Your Majesty has become even more charming."

"So you can also praise people. I thought you could only whip people." Xue Bai'er glanced at Jiang Che and raised her chin slightly, revealing a hint of pride inadvertently.

But there was also a feeling of joy in my heart.

Jiang Che's words made it worth her careful dressing up.

"If your majesty likes, I can continue to whip you."

"I am not a slave, why would I like being whipped? Was it the same when you were in your wedding night with the Qi sisters?" Xue Bai'er's eyes moved with a hint of suspicion.

Jiang Che shook his head:
"of course not."

"Then why did you whip me?"

"Because you deserve a beating."

Jiang Che spat out a few words without any hesitation.

The corners of Xue Bai'er's mouth twitched, and for a moment, she didn't know how to refute.

"you"

"What do you mean? Just because I didn't spank you this time, you dare to speak so rudely?" Jiang Che glanced at her and sat down opposite her without any courtesy.

"Can't you be more polite to me?"

Xue Bai'er's tone softened a little.

She originally wanted to regain some initiative, but Jiang Che's attitude made her feel disappointed. That was not the attitude towards a woman at all. Instead, he treated her as a servant who could do whatever he wanted.

"We'll see how you perform in the future. Come here, kneel down and give me a leg massage."

Jiang Che gave the order directly, without any politeness in his words.

But Xue Bai'er didn't dare to disobey. She looked at him, gritted her teeth, walked around the table to Jiang Che, squatted down, and began to pinch Jiang Che's thigh gently.

But his movements were a little awkward, obviously he was used to being in a high position for a long time.

"You are really good. This is the first time I massage someone's legs."

"so what?"

"So." Xue Bai'er glanced at Jiang Che, not wanting to chat too much on these meaningless topics, and suddenly changed the subject:
"Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

"Shouldn't you be happy that I'm leaving?"

Jiang Che pinched Xue Bai'er's chin and asked with a smile.

Xue Bai'er pursed her lips. If it was before, the farther Jiang Che was away from her, the happier she would be. But after several in-depth exchanges, she didn't know why she felt a little attached to him.

Whenever I think about Jiang Che’s departure, I feel a little empty inside.

Jiang Che is gone, who will fill her heart?
But he still said stubbornly:

"Hmph, then you'd better never come back, so that I don't have to worry so much."

"My queen, you can lie to others but don't lie to yourself. Why are you here and dressed so gorgeously? You should know it in your heart, right?" Jiang Che had no interest in having a love affair with Xue Bai'er.

He knew exactly where the connection between the two began.

Just like Princess Ning, Jiang Che never regarded her as his woman.

It just happened to be a coincidence.

The same goes for Queen Xue.

Jiang Che's words undoubtedly made Xue Baiyi pale, but she was also mentally prepared. She took a deep breath and whispered:

"How about I let you take a shortcut the next time you come back to Beijing?"

Xue Bai'er didn't want Jiang Che to have no attachment to the capital and stay in the south for too long. She wanted to use this as a temptation to attract Jiang Che to come to the capital more often in the future.

"There's still next time. What if I want to leave this time?"

Jiang Che felt a little amused.

Xue Bai'er actually discussed the conditions with him.

Xue Baiyi raised the corner of her mouth and smiled:
"Don't worry this time, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Che was a little confused.

Xue Bai'er stood up, smiled at Jiang Che, waved her hand, and a golden robe fell into her hand. Looking at the clothes in Xue Bai'er's hand, Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly fixed.

As for the reason why he was so solemn, it was because Xue Bai'er was holding a golden dragon robe in his hand.

It was embroidered with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon, exactly the same as the one that Princess Wenhao of Yuankang usually wore.

"My lady, what do you mean?"

Jiang Che grabbed the dragon robe and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Since you treat me like this, it proves that you are unscrupulous in your heart. Even the emperor is not worthy of your respect. If that's the case, why not seek some excitement.

This dragon robe was brought by me from Xiuyifang. It was specially tailored to suit you perfectly. How about it? Do you want to wear it?"

Xue Baiyi chuckled.

If it were normal, she would naturally not be so reckless and bold.

But Jiang Che was about to leave, and in order to leave a deep impression on Jiang Che, she felt that she should still do something. Taking the dragon robe would undoubtedly arouse Jiang Che's interest.

Now it seems that she was right.

Jiang Che took a deep breath, then stood up and opened his arms:

"Change your clothes."

Xue Baiyi nodded slightly, put the appropriate dragon robe on Jiang Che, and then blew into his ear:

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."

Jiang Che hugged Queen Xue and pressed her on the table.

"I will satisfy you!"
