Chapter 216

Tang Mengyou had thought Mu Qingrou was still holding a grudge about her leaving without saying goodbye in the past; she hadn't expected it was just because she was afraid to face her because of this matter.

After listening to her daughter talk about these, Tang Mengyou also roughly guessed that the new Emperor named Li Chen should be very powerful; otherwise, just relying on a divine weapon, Mu Qingrou definitely wouldn't have become his harem.

"I didn't expect it; I married into the royal family, and Mu Qingrou also married into the royal family; perhaps this is the arrangement of fate."

Just as Pei Wanyu was preparing to continue handling government affairs, a palace maid ran in in a panic.

"Empress, the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty has arrived."

Hearing this sentence, Pei Wanyu's heart instantly began to get excited, and her furrowed brows also began to unfold.

It was just like a little girl, running out directly; where was there any appearance of an Empress?

This also made her mother Tang Mengyou feel surprised; she usually taught her daughter to be dignified and to consider her identity when encountering anything.

Her daughter had always been very cold, which made her very satisfied.

How could she be so flustered now?

This made Tang Mengyou start to be curious about what kind of man Li Chen was.

At the current stage, Tang Mengyou only knew that Li Chen was the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty and judged that Li Chen should be very strong; she knew nothing about Li Chen's age, appearance, and the like.

When she walked out slowly, after not taking a few steps, her pupils dilated, and she kept sizing up the man in front of her, full of surprise.

This man had the appearance of a dragon and the posture of a celestial being; he was handsome and extraordinary, peerless in the world; just standing there, that momentum of being the only one in the world was fully displayed.

Tang Mengyou had always felt that Pei Wanyu's father was very domineering, but seeing Li Chen, she finally knew what was called the master of a great nation! What was called a true monarch!

Tang Mengyou was once a person of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, just married here.

Actually, many small countries around would let their royal family members study in the May Tian Ce Dynasty; for example, Zhu Zhuying and the like were nobles of small countries in the southwest.

Li Chen's appearance indeed gave Tang Mengyou some shock.

She finally understood why her daughter would show the appearance of a little woman.

In front of this Emperor, who dared to put on airs?

Tang Mengyou felt that her daughter and this May Tian Ce Emperor were very well-matched.

Otherwise, she didn't feel that anyone was worthy of her daughter.

"So that's what Emperor Li Chen looks like; no wonder Mu Qingrou was willing to be an imperial consort."

Tang Mengyou muttered to herself; Mu Qingrou and she were the same age; being able to find such a young, handsome, and powerful Emperor, she would definitely be willing.

"I always said I hated men, and men would only slow down my cultivation speed."

"Now that I see a good man, isn't she still going for it?"

"And she actually found the same man as my daughter."

"Really an old cow eating tender grass; let's see how I tease you later."

At this time, Pei Wanyu was in Li Chen's arms; she had been under great pressure lately, and only in Li Chen's arms could she forget all her troubles and be a carefree little woman.

She was now burying her head in Li Chen's arms, looking exactly like Li Sining every time she hadn't seen Li Chen for a long time.

Originally, an Emperor of Li Chen's level coming over required prior notification, and Pei Wanyu had to prepare a grand welcoming ceremony and personally go to pick up Li Chen.

However, this time Li Chen just came over to take a look, and Pei Wanyu was his own woman, so there weren't that many etiquette requirements.

"With me here, it's fine."

Li Chen touched her head, looking doting.

"Mm-hmm."

Pei Wanyu was still enjoying this short and beautiful time.

But her mother had already walked over and bowed in a dignified manner.

She was indeed the Empress Dowager, but facing Li Chen, this Emperor, the necessary etiquette still couldn't be missing.

Tang Mengyou began to prompt Pei Wanyu: "You can't just let Li Chen stand at the door forever, can you?"

Pei Wanyu finally remembered that she had been enjoying Li Chen's warm embrace and had forgotten that they were still outside.

She immediately reacted and walked into the palace where she lived, holding Li Chen's hand.

Palace maids soon brought up pastries and fine wine.

Pei Wanyu was like a wronged little girl, constantly complaining to Li Chen.

She felt that this Empress was too difficult to be; the court officials were arguing every day in the morning court, various people wanted to promote their own students and old subordinates, the vassal kings in the country were also restless, and when she first came back, many people in the palace wanted to kill her; if it weren't for the protection of Mu Qingrou and the people of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, she might not have been able to see Li Chen.

Li Chen comforted her, saying: "What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger; aren't you handling things quite well now? And this is also the process of training for every new emperor."

Pei Wanyu nodded and then asked: "When you first ascended the throne, how did you survive facing so many dangers?"

Li Chen: "I didn't have any dangers; because they were all afraid that I would kill them, and they were all too busy to take care of themselves, who dared to move against me?"

Pei Wanyu: "..."

"No, I was honestly trying to learn from you, why are you showing off again!"

"The way you showed off, I almost didn't react."

But indeed, emperors are different from emperors; Pei Wanyu could also understand that when a person of Li Chen's level becomes Emperor, the ones who should be afraid are the ministers.

In any case, Li Chen had also been Emperor for a period of time, and the May Tian Ce Dynasty was getting better and better under his governance.

Pei Wanyu asked: "Then some disobedient ministers, how should I handle them?"

Li Chen's answer was very simple: "Kill all the disobedient ones, and the rest will definitely be obedient. Don't think that after killing them, it will cause certain turmoil; since you want to establish prestige, you definitely need to see blood; kindness can't be an emperor..."

In any case, she was his woman, so Li Chen was also teaching her seriously.

He wanted to turn Pei Wanyu into the way he liked.

Just as they were chatting, Pei Wanyu's mother arrived at a place in the palace.

Pushing open the door, there was a stunning female sword cultivator inside, and there were quite a few people from the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion beside her.

Many of these women were Tang Mengyou's senior and junior sisters.

Seeing that Tang Mengyou had something to find Mu Qingrou for, the elders and disciples of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion left one after another.

"Is something the matter?" Mu Qingrou still thought there was trouble in the palace again.

Who knew, Tang Mengyou smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth and said: "The Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty has already arrived; do you have anything to say to me?"

This sentence caused a ripple in the heart of the female sword master with a very strong state of mind.

She hadn't greeted Tang Mengyou much, just because she was afraid of this point.

At her age, she was still serving the same husband as her senior sister's daughter; her senior sister would definitely laugh at her.

But the matter had already happened, and she had no way out.

If it were other women, they might have started talking about Li Chen's power, making friends envious to the point of drooling.

But Mu Qingrou wasn't that kind of person; she was thin-skinned, her little face was slightly red, and she could only pretend not to hear and closed her eyes.

"Alright, alright, you're still as un-teasing as ever; I know about the matter, and I've also seen Emperor Li Chen. I used to feel that no man in the world was worthy of you, and you might have to stay in the Immortal Mansion for a lifetime; it's good that you can think it through." Tang Mengyou could only find a topic for herself.

At this time, Mu Qingrou opened those bright eyes and said softly: "The Emperor's power is rare in the world, and his sword intent and weapon-refining methods are peerless in the current world."

Her saying this made Tang Mengyou curious about how strong Li Chen was.

She knew Mu Qingrou's personality very well; this guy was very stubborn and never admitted defeat, especially in sword intent.

Being able to make her personally admit that another person's sword intent was stronger than hers was the first time Tang Mengyou had encountered it.

"I'm very curious, how did you two meet?"

"Want to know?"

"Mm."

"Let's go out and have a contest; I want to see if senior sister's sword technique has regressed after so many years."

Saying this, Mu Qingrou threw a sword to Tang Mengyou.

Tang Mengyou didn't know why there were so many Mansion Masters, but she still agreed.

Don't look at Tang Mengyou as Empress, but she had always been cultivating; as someone in the Heavenly Abyss Realm, she also thought about reaching the Sage Realm one day.

This time she also wanted to try fighting with a Sage Realm powerhouse to see what it felt like.

Outside the palace gate, there was a small courtyard, which was very spacious.

Mu Qingrou set up her stance and let Tang Mengyou attack.

Having not moved for a long time, and coupled with the opponent being in the Sage Realm, Tang Mengyou was very serious.

Only hearing her shout, she drove her meridians, erupted with all her momentum, and waved the long sword in her hand; the sword intent of the Purple Cloud Sword Technique instantly grew wildly, like a purple giant dragon in a wild wind, carrying the momentum of tearing the world apart, sweeping toward Mu Qingrou. Countless sword qi intertwined in the air, forming an airtight sword net, flashing with heart-palpitating light.

Seeing this, Mu Qingrou's mouth hooked into a faint smile.

She gently raised her precious sword, and a breath even more terrifying than Tang Mengyou's erupted from her body, as if even space was solidified by this breath.

Her sword intent was surging, like a vast ocean, colliding with Tang Mengyou's sword net, emitting a deafening roar.

In an instant, sword light and sword qi intertwined, forming streaks of brilliant radiance.

The battle between the two female sword cultivators instantly entered a white-hot stage, sword shadows crossed, sword light shot everywhere, and the sound of weapons colliding rose one after another.

Even if Tang Mengyou tried her best, she could still detect the gap between her and Mu Qingrou.

Suddenly, Mu Qingrou's figure flashed, appearing in front of Tang Mengyou like a ghost.

The precious sword in her hand suddenly swung down, colliding with Tang Mengyou's long sword, emitting a deafening loud noise.

At this moment, both of their sword intents reached their peak, as if they were about to tear this world apart.

!

Boom!

After a loud noise, Tang Mengyou's sword intent was shattered by Mu Qingrou's powerful sword intent, turning into dots of light and dissipating in the air.

And Mu Qingrou's sword intent swept over like a storm, completely enveloping Tang Mengyou within it.

Tang Mengyou only felt a powerful force surging from all directions, leaving her with no power to resist.

After Mu Qingrou withdrew her sword momentum, Tang Mengyou finally caught her breath.

She knew that Mu Qingrou's sword intent was stronger, and wanting to kill her would be just a matter of a gesture.

During this recent period, quite a few powerhouses had died at Mu Qingrou's hands.

"Junior sister is truly amazing; I admit defeat," Tang Mengyou sighed.

She hadn't realized the severity of the matter yet, just feeling a bit chilly on her body.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared nearby, feeling as if he had broken through the void.

Li Chen had just been chatting with Pei Wanyu when he felt a powerful meridian technique impact here.

Pei Wanyu was his woman, and he had also heard that someone was assassinating in the imperial palace.

He wanted to see who had such great courage.

So he appeared quickly at the location where the energy erupted.

As a result, he encountered this scene; one of the two women in front of him was Mu Qingrou, whom Li Chen was very familiar with, and the other was a woman with a perfect figure; actually, Mu Qingrou also had abdominal muscles, a secret only Li Chen knew.

The other one, Li Chen didn't recognize at first glance, so he just stared at her blankly.

Staring at her made Tang Mengyou somewhat embarrassed; she opened her mouth and said: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with me?"

Saying this, she even swayed her body, then looked down.

It was this look that almost made her faint; when did her clothes disappear?

Just as she was shyly preparing to cover up, Mu Qingrou coldly said: "That's how I met the Emperor."

It was just that the one who was naked at the time was her, not Li Chen.

Tang Mengyou almost fainted from anger; "You could have just said it, why did you have to shatter my clothes!"

And the May Tian Ce Emperor Li Chen beside her, shouldn't he avoid it? Why was he still sizing her up!

Those who knew Li Chen knew that Li Chen did know how to be shy, but it wasn't him who was naked, so he didn't care.

Looking at the naked Empress Dowager of the Tianwu Dynasty in front of him, Li Chen was very satisfied; she was worthy of being Pei Wanyu's mother.

Tang Mengyou's golden phoenix robe had already turned into dust, with only black hair coiled at the back of her head, inserted with a golden phoenix hairpin.

Her biting lip expression was nervous and shy, her teeth like shells, her eyebrows like cherry blossoms, her skin like ice and bones, her posture beautiful.

It could truly be said that she had the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, and the beauty of closing the moon and shaming flowers.

Her body was plump and well-proportioned, she was skilled in maintaining her beauty, and her skin was snow-white and tender.

And the charm of being the Empress Dowager, her fullness was excellent, truly charming and fascinating, full of style.

Even though her hands covering herself were trying hard to cover, she couldn't cover it at all.

Just as Tang Mengyou intended to leave, footsteps came from nearby; it should be the Imperial Guards hearing the movement here and coming to check the situation.

The duty of the Imperial Guards was to protect the safety of the imperial dynasty.

When Li Chen came over, Pei Wanyu had already led the team over.

This made Tang Mengyou completely panicked; as the Empress Dowager of the Tianwu Imperial City, appearing here naked, and with a man standing beside her, this couldn't be explained clearly no matter what.

If it spread out, she wouldn't know how to face people.

Just when she was at a loss, Mu Qingrou said: "You hurry to my bedroom and hide for a while; I'll handle it."

There was still a distance from here to the bedroom; even knowing this was a way, Tang Mengyou kept covering herself and couldn't let go, so Li Chen simply carried her away directly.

Everything that happened in front of her made the Empress Dowager Tang Mengyou so ashamed and angry that her head heated up, and her expression began to become trance-like.

By the time the two of them entered Tang Mengyou's bedroom, many people had come to the courtyard.

The leader was none other than Pei Wanyu, who was asking what had happened.

Mu Qingrou said casually: "Nothing, I'm just practicing sword."

Pei Wanyu looked around, puzzled: "Emperor Li Chen seems to have come this way; where is he?"

"I didn't see him; did he come this way?" Mu Qingrou also started to talk nonsense; she couldn't tell the truth.

Since she said so, out of trust in Mu Qingrou, Pei Wanyu let the Imperial Guards withdraw and go to other places to look for Li Chen's shadow.

Watching these people leave, Mu Qingrou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she opened the bedroom door, the scene in front of her made her incredibly surprised.

Although I met the Emperor like this, the speed of our development shouldn't be that fast, right?

Tang Mengyou just made a small mistake, which was being too shy, and her brain wasn't clear enough; last time Wu Nanzhi was still able to keep a clear head at this stage; she knew she wasn't clear, so that would definitely be cheap for Li Chen.

Li Chen was a person who would seize the opportunity; it was delivered to his mouth, why not eat it?

When Tang Mengyou truly came back to her senses, it was already too late, and now she almost fainted again.

After about an hour, Li Chen finally left the place where Mu Qingrou lived.

It wasn't that his combat power had declined, but Tang Mengyou pleaded and begged, afraid that her daughter wouldn't find her, and promised Li Chen that he could continue anytime in the future, so Li Chen finally let her off.

Li Chen hadn't expected that on his first visit to the imperial palace of the Tianwu Dynasty, such a good thing would happen.

When Li Chen returned to Pei Wanyu's sleeping quarters, Pei Wanyu walked over worriedly, asking if he was okay and where he had gone just now.

What could be wrong with him? He indicated that he detected a powerful energy fluctuation, and when he went over, he found Mu Qingrou practicing sword; it was his first time back, and seeing Pei Wanyu had already left, he went to sit with the cultivators of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion for a while.

Seeing that Li Chen was fine, Pei Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

She estimated that when Li Chen came, she had just led the Imperial Guards to patrol and missed him, so she didn't take this matter to heart.

Seeing that it was getting late, Pei Wanyu also intended to rest, so she let Li Chen stay in her sleeping quarters.

With Li Chen by her side tonight, she finally had a good sleep.

When the next day came, Pei Wanyu had to go to the early court session.

Li Chen definitely came to Mu Qingrou's room, intending to finish the things that weren't finished last night.

The Empress Dowager Tang Mengyou also kept her promise.

Only Mu Qingrou couldn't understand: "What do you two take my place for? An entertainment venue?"

"Can you two change to another place? Don't tell me I'm also a part of your strange games!"

This kind of sneaky feeling made Li Chen and the Empress Dowager Tang Mengyou feel very stimulating.

Especially this afternoon, Pei Wanyu was still asking Mu Qingrou for sword technique advice at the door.

Tang Mengyou didn't even dare to make a sound inside the room.

With Li Chen's arrival, Pei Wanyu felt that everything was getting better.

The vassal kings retreated one after another, returning to their garrison areas to shrink back.

The court officials were also washed in blood by her, and the remaining ones, even if they had some opinions about her, didn't dare to speak now.

Every night Li Chen would appear by Pei Wanyu's side, which made her feel very at ease, but she didn't understand where Li Chen went during the day, and why she couldn't find his shadow.

Seeing that the affairs of the Tianwu Dynasty had been solved almost completely, Li Chen was preparing to take Mu Qingrou away.

But at this time, the Tianwu Dynasty encountered a special situation again: the Sea Clan attacked again in the eastern coastal area!
