Chapter 337 Demon Queen: I am happy to be a woman

On the soft couch, the two hugged each other and looked at each other affectionately.

The queen’s face was extremely delicate. Her eyes were narrow and long, with the tails slightly upturned, revealing a charming and seductive look. Her slender eyebrows stretched out like wings, and her straightness contained infinite charm. Her lips were soft and moist, small and lovely. On both sides of her cheeks, two natural blushes were like clouds in the morning light, adding a bit of delicateness and softness to her, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Zhu Qizhen didn’t hesitate any longer and bit the white neck.

The Demon Queen finally stopped resisting, a smile appeared on her face, and she turned her hand to the host and responded enthusiastically.

The gauze hanging from the soft couch swayed without wind.

A delicate foot stretched out from the gauze, stretched tightly. It was unknown how long it took before it slowly stretched out, and the wind and rain on the couch finally stopped.

Zhu Qizhen hugged the plump and graceful queen, and his mind went blank for a moment.

is this real?
The Demon Queen was indeed very powerful as she had practiced Taoist magic, and he almost got defeated.

“My husband, what are you thinking about?”

The queen gently raised her chin, and her long black hair slid down quietly, cleverly covering the beautiful scenery in front of her. Between her eyebrows, a sweet feeling that made people’s heart beat and their spirits swayed naturally emerged. Her black and charming eyes fell on Zhu Qizhen who was in a daze. As her eyes moved subtly, her long and curled eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, adding a touch of charm.

“Think about our future again.” Zhu Qizhen looked serious, his eyes gentle, and he reached out to hold her cheek.

The Queen was slightly absent-minded, her beautiful eyes slowly blinked, showing some tenderness and sweetness. She reached out and held his hand that was gently caressing her cheek, saying, “Don’t think about anything tonight.”

She looks like a complete queen.

Zhu Qizhen answered simply: “Okay.”

The demon queen’s eyes were blurred. She slowly leaned into his arms and whispered, “I know you love me, that’s enough.”

Zhu Qizhen hugged her again.

……

The two of them went through a lot of trouble and it was already late at night.

Moonlight fell into the room through the window. A pair of white legs quietly poked out from between the curtains. The delicate feet stepped on the carpet. The Queen stood up. Her long, black and shiny hair fell to her waist like a waterfall. Her figure was graceful. She was really thirsty and wanted to drink some water.

Unexpectedly, a big hand stretched out from the curtain and pulled her back.

“Stop it, I want to drink some water.” Her voice was gentle, and there was a hint of smile in her slightly blinking eyes.

“No hurry, the night is long.” Zhu Qizhen put his arms around her waist.

The Demon Queen glared at him and said, “You don’t have to get up early to go to the shop tomorrow?”

Zhu Qizhen kissed her directly, so why would he care about the shop?
The storm is coming again!

Another half hour passed, and the Demon Queen curled up her soft body slightly and leaned in Zhu Qizhen’s arms.

“Can I go drink some water now?” She glared.

“Well, bring the teapot over here. I guess you will need to drink it later.” Zhu Qizhen smiled.

The Queen of Demons stood up leisurely, lightly took the white gauze dress hanging beside her, and gently draped it over her body. Then she turned around and left the couch. Her pair of even, jade-like legs and beautiful, slender feet stepped silently on the floor as she walked towards the tea table. Every step revealed endless charm and elegance.

She brought the teapot and cups and placed them on the bedside.

After they finished their tea, they snuggled together. Zhu Qizhen gently squeezed her waist with his palm, hugged her again, and said, “My lady, you are so beautiful that I can’t help myself.”

The demon queen’s pretty face turned slightly red, she bit her lips lightly, and her beautiful eyes slowly closed.

It was almost dawn when they fell into a deep sleep.

After dawn, Shuangxi got up and wondered why the emperor didn’t go to the morning court today. However, she didn’t dare to ask and went to the kitchen to work.

It was already past noon, and there was still no movement in the room. Shuangxi was a little worried, so he went to knock on the door. Just as he was about to knock, the door opened. Zhu Qizhen poked his head out and said sleepily, “Shuangxi, go find Xu Youzhen and tell him that I have something to do and won’t be attending court for three days.”

“Ah?” Shuangxi was surprised, then nodded, “Okay, I’ll go right away.”

“Also, send the food to the room first.” Zhu Qizhen looked embarrassed.

Shuangxi’s face turned red and she went to the kitchen to bring the food. Zhu Qizhen took it and then closed the door.

……

Zhu Qizhen put the food on the table and turned to look at the demon queen on the couch. She hadn’t woken up yet. He walked over and pinched her cheek.

There was still a blush on her beautiful face, her eyes were half closed, and she was confused and helpless. It seemed as if all the strength had been drained from her body, and she was in great pain. She forced her eyes open and cast a tearful look of resentment: “Beast!”

“Same here.” Zhu Qizhen turned around and brought the food over. “No one should go out today.”

The demon queen rolled her eyes and said, “Humph, I will accompany you in your absurdity. Bring me a basin of clean water so I can wash myself before eating.”

After a busy time and breakfast, both of them seemed to have recovered their energy.

Zhu Qizhen hugged her and half lay on the couch.

An intoxicating blush appeared on the enchanting and charming face of the Demon Queen. She nestled in his arms, her eyes blurred, biting her red lips gently, speaking in a gentle tone with complex and unspeakable emotions, and sighed softly: “After more than thirty years, I have finally become a real woman.”

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly.

I was thinking, what are you saying? How did you get by before?

“My wife.” He reached out and hugged her gently, his eyes becoming fiery.

I will not go to court today. I understand Emperor Xuanzong of Tang a little bit. From now on, the emperor will not attend court early in the morning.

At this moment, the Demon Queen seemed to be in the vast ocean, transformed into a lonely boat, and let the endless waves hit her wantonly. The waves were unpredictable, with various postures and strengths. Sometimes they rushed towards her head like a beast, sometimes they attacked her from behind cunningly, and sometimes they circled and curled up, surrounding her tightly with endless changes.

The day passed quickly and the sunset fell in the yard.

Shuangxi did not come to disturb them. He prepared the food, put it at the door, called out to them, and then went about his business.

Zhu Qizhen went to bring in the food. The Queen was only wearing a robe and didn’t even want to get off the couch. Zhu Qizhen fed her after she finished her dinner.

After eating, they stuck together again, the Queen lazily leaned in his arms, Zhu Qizhen gently stretched out his hand, gently shuttled through her silky long hair, and carefully tucked them behind her ears. Then, his fingertips seemed to be full of endless tenderness and pampering, slowly sliding across her delicate cheeks, and finally gently pinched her chin, gently lifted her face, so that her eyes were facing him, and reflected in her eyes was her face full of shy blush, beautiful and heart-stirring.

“Little thief!”

The Queen slowly opened her beautiful eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and she looked charming and radiant. Her small mouth opened and closed gently, revealing resentment, love, and many indescribable complex emotions. In the end, all these emotions turned into a long and weak sigh, and she nestled in his arms as if accepting her fate.

“Who is the thief? You stole my heart too.”

Zhu Qizhen hugged her slender and flexible waist tightly, and the touch of her skin was like the most delicate silk, which made him intoxicated. Especially her slender and elegant neck, with smooth lines, like a swan’s neck, adding a bit of indescribable charm, making it difficult for him to look away, and his heart was filled with irrepressible obsession and love.

He bit again.

Three days passed in a flash. Zhu Qizhen got up early in the morning, rubbing his waist with one hand and holding the pillar with the other, and said to Shuangxi: “I’m going out, take good care of my wife.”

……

Qianqing Palace.

After the morning court, Zhu Qizhen convened a small court meeting.

All the cabinet ministers had arrived, as well as the generals from the Five Military Governorates. They all looked at Zhu Qizhen with confusion, some as if they were observing him carefully.

“What are you looking at?” Zhu Qizhen held his forehead with his hand, “Is there something wrong with my face?”

Xu Youzhen bowed and said, “Your Majesty, are you ill?”

Zhu Qizhen glared unhappily: “I’m fine.”

“Your Majesty, you normally wouldn’t miss the morning court. Suddenly you didn’t come for three days in a row, and I’m worried about you.” Li Xian said, “Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please tell me.”

Zhu Qizhen was very upset and waved his hands: “I have nothing to do. Come on, let’s discuss the matter with the Ottoman Empire.”

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was fine. Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, stepped forward and reported: “The materials for building warships and the people have already left Yingtian and are heading to Hol City.”

He reported in detail the preparations before the war, and Zhu Qizhen made a few comments from time to time. After Shi Heng finished his report, Xu Youzhen stood up and reported: “Your Majesty, the Hungarian envoys have set off to the Ming Dynasty by sea.”

“Very good, the Ministry of Rites will give you a grand reception.” Zhu Qizhen said, “By forming an alliance with the Kingdom of Hungary, we can attack the Ottoman Empire from both sides.”

Li Bing nodded: “Not only that, because of the Ottoman Empire’s strong conquest, the kingdoms in Europe are afraid and are eager to attack the Ottoman Empire together.”

“That’s great.” Zhu Qizhen laughed. “The two great empires are competing for supremacy. The right time, right place, and right people are all on our side of the Ming Dynasty.”

It was delayed for three days as he had to attend consecutive meetings and deal with memorials.

So, when he left today, he told Shuangxi that he would not be going back tonight. After three days of fighting with the Demon Queen, it was time to recuperate.

……

A small courtyard by the Gaoliang River.

A carriage stopped at the gate of the yard, and the Queen Demon and Shuangxi walked out of the yard.

“Your Majesty, are we really going to leave without saying goodbye?” Shuangxi asked.

“Yes!” The Demon Queen nodded. “I remember everything now. Why am I still with him? Not only did he seize the Ming Dynasty, he also killed my son.”

She looked sad, tears fell from her eyes, she looked back at the courtyard, and resolutely got on the carriage. Shuangxi sighed and followed her into the carriage.

“Shuangxi, if you go out with me this time, you may never come back.” The Demon Queen smiled, “Are you willing?”

“My queen, wherever you go, I will go there.” Shuangxi said with certainty.

The Demon Queen nodded in satisfaction and laughed at herself: “From now on, we will depend on each other.”

The carriage quickly crossed the street and headed for the canal dock. When the carriage left the city gate, the Demon Queen lifted the curtain and looked at the magnificent capital city with tears falling from her eyes: “This is a sad place, I am leaving now.”

An hour later, the carriage arrived at the canal dock. A large ship had already been waiting at the dock, and Qi Shu stood at the bow, waving at them.

When they got on the boat, Qi Shu stepped forward and bowed to the Demon Queen: “Master’s Wife, everything is ready.”

“Then let’s set sail.” The Demon Queen waved her hand.

The ship set sail, and the Demon Queen stood on the deck, facing the wind, looking at the gradually receding capital. Qi Shu came to her side and whispered, “Master’s Wife, Xiaotian is already in Malacca, and they are ready to pick him up.”

“From now on, I’ll have to rely on you and Xiaotian.” The Queen of Demons smiled.

Qi Shu pursed her red lips and said, “This is what we should do. Don’t worry, Master’s wife, you won’t have to worry about anything when you get there.”

The Demon Queen smiled slightly: “I’m not worried. Xiaotian is now the overlord of Nanyang. I will go there to enjoy myself.”

……

Zhu Qizhen did not return to the courtyard by the Gaoliang River until the evening of the next day. He felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the door. He did not smell the fragrance of food, nor did he see Shuangxi.

He hurried to the room, but no one was there. He saw a letter on the table. He opened it immediately, and there were only eight words in it: I’m leaving, don’t look for me.

“It turns out that she has recovered her memory!” There was a flash of panic in Zhu Qizhen’s eyes.

He immediately returned to the palace and summoned Shi Biao, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and ordered him to dispatch all the secret guards of the Imperial Guard to search for the empress dowager.

“Remember, this matter cannot be made public,” he instructed.

“Yes, sir.” Shi Biao took the order and left.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the letter in his hand, frowning: “Where are you going? Do you have to hide from me?”

He felt vaguely uneasy, fearing that he would never find the Demon Queen again.

For a moment, he was in a state of confusion. At this moment, the queen came in and bowed: “Your Majesty, I have made soup for you.”

“All of you step back.” Zhu Qizhen waved his hand.

The eunuchs and palace maids all withdrew, and only he and the queen were left in the hall. He told the queen about the departure of the evil queen.

The Queen was also shocked when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she said, “Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother is missing, she will be discovered eventually. Why not announce that the Queen Mother… has passed away!”

“Ah?” Zhu Qizhen was surprised.

“In this case, the person we find later will not be the Queen Mother, but Sun Ruowei.” The Queen said, “Without the identity of the Queen Mother, everything will be easier.”

Zhu Qizhen immediately understood what the queen meant.

On that day, news came from the harem that the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty had passed away. The Emperor ordered the suspension of court and held a grand funeral for the Empress Dowager.

The next day, the whole capital was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, and the people spontaneously paid tribute to the Empress Dowager. Zhu Qizhen came to the small courtyard by the Gaoliang River alone, stood in the courtyard, and was lost in thought.

“So those three days were your final farewell, right?” He whispered to himself, “Where will you go? The whole world belongs to me, don’t think you can escape from my palm.”

At this time, Shi Biao hurried in and bowed, “Your Majesty, there is news. Two days ago, a ship of the Daming Trading Company left the capital, and it was escorted by Zhao Xiaotian’s wife Qi Shu herself. The Queen Mother… may be on that ship.”

“Where is that ship going?” Zhu Qizhen asked anxiously.

“It should have gone out to sea.” Shi Biao said, “I have already sent people to chase it.”
