Chapter 1558 Ren Ruyi's Rejection, Xiao Yan's Submission

Chapter 1558 Ren Ruyi's Rejection, Xiao Yan's Submission
"..."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, He Lan Yunqi fell silent.

It's normal for women from the grasslands to remarry after their husbands die, but Xiao Chengrui is still alive, and she and Jiang Chen are already like that. What kind of relationship could they have?
Fortunately, no one else knows about this yet.

“Your maids are outside. They might get impatient, so get up now and go over to them. Then we’ll continue,” Jiang Chen said.

"Continue?" He Lan Yunqi was startled.

They've already hit her once, do they need to continue?
Are you a human?

“Yes, if I wasn’t afraid your maid would come in, how could I have let you go?” Jiang Chen patted Helan Yunqi and said, “Quickly, do as I say.”

“I…” He Lan Yunqi glanced at Jiang Chen, got up, put on her clothes, and walked outside.

"If you don't come over after a cup of tea, I'll come find you myself," Jiang Chen said to He Lan Yunqi, who was about to leave.

He Lan Yunqi was startled and quickened her pace.

However, Helan Yunqi, who left, did not return.

Perhaps, in Helan Yunqi's view, this is just an excuse.

"Did you escape?"

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, and with a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.

……

In a luxurious room, Helan Yunqi leaned against the couch with lifeless eyes.

Everything she had experienced before was a nightmare for her.

She felt unclean.

She felt sorry for Xiao Chengrui.

But what's done is done, and she doesn't know what to do next.

Tell Xiao Chengrui?
If she tells Xiao Chengrui, she's finished; she'll surely die.

She felt guilty for not telling Xiao Chengrui.

"What are you thinking about?"

Just then, a voice came from the side.

"Who?"

He Lan Yunqi was startled and quickly turned her head to look, only to see Jiang Chen looking at her with a smile.

"You, how did you get here?" He Lan Yunqi stood up in shock.

"If you don't come to me, I have no choice but to come to you." Jiang Chen walked up to He Lan Yunqi and put his arm around her waist.

"How did you get in?" He Lan Yunqi knew that her mansion had hundreds of guards and was heavily guarded, so she wasn't worried about Jiang Chen coming in after she returned. She didn't expect that Jiang Chen would still come in silently.

“I can come whenever I want,” Jiang Chen said.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" He Lan Yunqi asked.

“They won’t find out,” Jiang Chen chuckled, then whispered, “But I also believe that the people outside are your trusted confidants. Even if they find out, you won’t let them tell anyone.”

“You…” Helan Yunqi glared at Jiang Chen: “Even if you command hundreds of thousands of troops, Xiao Chengrui will not let you off the hook once he finds out.”

“Xiao Chengrui is both a scholar and a warrior. He has followed his father in battle for many years and has made outstanding contributions. He is highly respected in the army. In addition, he is good at political maneuvering. He may become the King of Shengzhou in the future. However, he is only the third prince of Shengzhou now. He is not good enough to deal with me.”

Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "Tell me, if I mobilized over 100,000 troops to support Xiao Chengrui in becoming the King of Shengzhou, would he hand you over to me?"

Jiang Chen recalls that in the drama, Xiao Chengrui engaged in a power struggle with Xiao Chengxu for the throne, sacrificing family ties and even driving Xiao Chengxu's mother to her death. Ultimately, he inherited the throne through political maneuvering. After marrying Helan Mingyu, their marriage was filled with scheming and suspicion due to suspicion and ambition for power.

"Impossible," He Lan Yunqi said without hesitation.

“Really? Then don’t let him know,” Jiang Chen said.

"Don't do this..." He Lan Yunqi saw Jiang Chen going to untie his belt and quickly reached out to stop his hand.

“If you can’t face Xiao Chengrui, I can let you fake your death…” Jiang Chen said.

"Fake death?" He Lan Yunqi was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, all it takes is..." For Jiang Chen, taking He Lan Yunqi away was far too easy. After all, if he wanted to take someone, he could simply fly away through the air.

"You, you..." He Lan Yunqi never expected that Jiang Chen would figure out her fake death plan so quickly.

This made He Lan Yunqi suspect that Jiang Chen might have had a plan targeting her all along.

Was the "sheep entering the tiger's den" incident already part of Jiang Chen's plan?
It was something Jiang Chen had been planning for a long time.

“If you’re not satisfied, we can work on another plan,” Jiang Chen said.

"Can you...can you let me go? I...I won't tell anyone what happened before," He Lan Yunqi pleaded.

"No," Jiang Chen replied.

"Ah..." Jiang Chen's refusal was within He Lan Yunqi's expectations, but she did not expect Jiang Chen to refuse so decisively.

“You can consider what I just said, but now…” Jiang Chen lowered the curtain.

Seeing this, Helan Yunqi sensed something was wrong and felt extremely nervous.

“Actually, you don’t want to reject me either,” Jiang Chen said.

"I, I didn't..." He Lan Yunqi was startled.

"No?" Jiang Chen looked at He Lan Yunqi with a smile.

He Lan Yunqi dared not look Jiang Chen in the eye.

But to her horror, she discovered that, just as Jiang Chen had said, she didn't really mean to refuse.

Is it because I am a bad person?
Of course, He Lan Yunqi had no idea that this was Jiang Chen's characteristic.

As the head of a family with a strong destiny, the women who had been with him felt a natural affinity for him.

Soon, indescribable sounds rang out.

However, Jiang Chen used his true essence to isolate this space, so people outside couldn't hear anything from inside.

……

the next day.

"Wanyin, here you go." Jiang Chen handed a top-grade glass-type jadeite bracelet to Helan Wanyin.

"My husband, you are so good to me."

He Lan Wanyin's eyes lit up when she saw the top-grade glass-type jadeite bracelet.

Having followed Jiang Chen for so long, she naturally understood what this meant.

“Okay, let’s get certified next.” Jiang Chen smiled.

He was granted the certification of the Holy Clan and bestowed the title of Junior Envoy.

Helan Wanyin became the 198th member of the Jiang family.

After handing over the cultivation resources to Helan Wanyin, Jiang Chen said, "Wanyin, I'll have Mingyu tell you about some things concerning the family later."

"Okay." Helan Wanyin was a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

"Is my husband leaving?" Helan Mingyu walked over.

Upon hearing this, Helan Wanyin grabbed Jiang Chen's hand.

She had only just become Jiang Chen's woman, so naturally she wanted to spend more time with him.

“Yes, I’m leaving soon.” Jiang Chen nodded, pulled He Lan Mingyu over, and then put his arms around the two women on either side of him. “In the Second World, distance is not a problem for us. As long as I have time, I will come to find you.”

“Then you must remember that, my husband,” Helan Wanyin said.

"Yes, I will definitely remember." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "By the way, He Lan Yunqi came yesterday."

Helan Mingyu and Helan Wanyin are new to this, so they don't know anything about Helan Yunqi.

"Big sister is here?"

Helan Wanyin and Helan Mingyu were slightly taken aback.

“Yes, she insisted on seeing you when she came yesterday,” Jiang Chen said.

"Has my husband seen my elder sister?" Helan Mingyu asked.

“Yes, you were all resting when I met her. But she insisted on seeing you. Due to some unexpected events, she became your sister for the second time,” Jiang Chen said.

Helan Wanyin and Helan Mingyu were slightly taken aback.

What does it mean to be sisters for the second time?
However, they quickly realized what was happening.

“Husband, you, you…” Helan Mingyu’s eyes flashed with shock.

"It's like this..." Jiang Chen didn't hide anything and told He Lan Yunqi about his relationship with her.

Because his relationship with Helan Yunqi was so sudden, Jiang Chen recounted the story almost verbatim.

Jiang Chen wasn't embarrassed about his relationship with He Lan Yunqi.

"Then what does my husband plan to do?" Helan Wanyin asked.

“Now that you’re mine, you should naturally become mine completely,” Jiang Chen said.

"But what about Shengzhou?" Helan Mingyu asked.

“When she returns to Shengzhou, I plan to take her with me,” Jiang Chen said.

“Take him away? You mean…” Helan Mingyu understood.

Jiang Chen nodded.

The Great Liang Dynasty is currently consolidating its internal affairs and is unlikely to launch an attack on Shengzhou. Yonglin has a good relationship with Shengzhou, and although it has had a good discussion with Helan Xingyu, Helan Xingyu would never turn against Shengzhou at this time.

Therefore, taking Helan Yunqi away is the best option.

The reason for not taking action in Yonglin was that they did not want to implicate Yonglin, and did not want Helan Mingyu and the others to cause trouble by acting in Yonglin.

"Does my husband want us to send you a message?" Helan Wanyin asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded: “Send me a message when your eldest sister leaves Yonglin.”

“Okay.” Helan Wanyin nodded.

“Husband, we know about my elder sister’s matter. Is it possible for us to…” Helan Mingyu didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

“You already know, so there’s no need to pretend you don’t know in front of Helan Yunqi. If necessary, we can do some ideological work,” Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.” He Lanmingyu understood.

"It's getting late, I have to go," Jiang Chen said.

"Then take it easy, my husband." Although Helan Mingyu and Helan Wanyin were reluctant to part with him, they still saw Jiang Chen off.

Jiang Chen left very soon.

...Anwu Continent, An Kingdom, An Capital.

"Son."

Yang Ying stood up and bowed when she saw Jiang Chen.

"Get up."

Jiang Chen sat down in the main seat and asked, "Yang Ying, you look a little worried. Is something wrong?"

"Yes."

Yang Ying said from the side, "Information has come from the north these past few days that Beipan has gathered an army of over 100,000 and is preparing to march south."

"Over ten thousand?" Jiang Chen's eyes flashed.

In "A Thought Through the Mountains", the Northern Pan army is not small, but other countries do not have many troops available to deal with it.

“Yes, and Ren Ruyi has received news that the various tribes of Beipan are still gathering,” Yang Ying said.

"What's going on in Anguo?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Emperor An, Li Sun, is only mobilizing troops at the border. However, his attention is still on Wu Kingdom,” Yang Ying said.

"Emperor An, Li Sun, wants to annex Wu Kingdom. It's understandable that he's doing so, but Bei Pan won't give An Kingdom the chance," Jiang Chen said incisively.

“The situation in Wu Kingdom is not good right now. If my royal brother doesn’t return… I’m afraid Wu Kingdom will not be able to withstand the Beipan army,” Yang Ying said.

“So, if your brother’s matter cannot be resolved, you should immediately return to Anguo and become the empress yourself,” Jiang Chen said.

"I...I can't do it," Yang Ying said quickly.

“No way? We’ll find out once we try.” Jiang Chen changed the subject and said, “If you don’t want to be the empress, then Xiao Yan will have to be the empress.”

"Imperial sister-in-law?" Yang Ying thought of Xiao Yan.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen did not tell Yang Ying that he had already won over Xiao Yan.

During these three months in the Second World, Xiao Yan is not yet due to give birth, so he will not take her with him when he leaves the Second World this time.

"I'll think about it," Yang Ying said.

"Hmm." Jiang Chen nodded: "If you and Xiao Yan become empresses, your brother will no longer be important."

Jiang Chen knew that Yang Ying and Emperor Wu, Yang Xingyuan, did not have a good relationship; otherwise, Yang Ying would not be living in the cold palace.

"I understand." Yang Ying didn't have much affection for Yang Xingyuan; to her now, Jiang Chen was family.

A moment later, Ren Ruyi arrived.

Jiang Chen pulled Ren Ruyi aside and started chatting.

"Ruyi, resolve the matter in Anguo as soon as possible, and then return to Wuguo with Yang Ying," Jiang Chen said.

"Does the young master intend to use the Wu Kingdom to unify the Anwu Continent?" Ren Ruyi asked.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Anwu Continent has more than a dozen countries, which is too many. Only by unifying Anwu Continent can we maximize our interests."

The Anwu continent has been at war with more than a dozen countries for decades.

There are not many people left on the Anwu Continent. If the fighting continues, the population will decrease even further. Naturally, the more people the Anwu Continent has, the better, if they want to develop its industries.

Of course, while it is possible to unify the Anwu Continent, a portion of Beipan can be left behind.

After all, too few people are not good, but too many people will cause floods and disasters.

Therefore, war is the best way to reduce the population.

“My investigation in Anguo is almost complete, and it won’t be long before it’s over,” Ren Ruyi said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen, Ren Ruyi, and Yang Ying finished their meal.

After the meal, Jiang Chen dismissed Yang Ying.

"Young master, is there anything else?" Ren Ruyi asked.

“I want to talk to you.” Jiang Chen stepped forward and took Ren Ruyi’s hand.

“Young Master…” Ren Ruyi’s body trembled, and her face flushed slightly.

"As one wishes……"

Jiang Chen and Ren Ruyi started chatting.

For Jiang Chen, there are many female protagonists in several film and television fusion worlds.

Jiang Chen is now wondering how many "Tang Dynasty Poet Immortal Ice and Snow Sweetness" figures he can collect in the film and television fusion world.

After chatting with Ren Ruyi for a while, Jiang Chen started eating the lip balm.

This wasn't the first time, and Ren Ruyi cooperated very well.

"Young Master, that's enough." Ren Ruyi nudged Jiang Chen.

“I think…” Jiang Chen raised his head, his gaze fixed on Ren Ruyi.

"It's not convenient today," Ren Ruyi said.

"You mean..." Jiang Chen realized what was happening and was somewhat disappointed.

"Young master...I..."

"Ruyi, do you want to..." Jiang Chen thought of a bad idea and whispered in Ren Ruyi's ear.

"No, no." Ren Ruyi quickly shook her head.

Because what Jiang Chen said, she couldn't do.

"Is it really not going to work?" Jiang Chen asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"It just won't work." Ren Ruyi was absolutely certain that she could do it.

"We'll talk about it later." Jiang Chen's hands didn't stop moving.

"Not in the future either." Ren Ruyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jiang Chen.

"Hehe." Jiang Chen chuckled and spent a while with Ren Ruyi before leaving.

……

Anwu Continent, Wu Kingdom, Wu City, Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, you're being a bit proactive today?" Jiang Chen leaned against the couch, holding Xiao Yan in his arms.

After his first encounter with Xiao Yan, Jiang Chen never forgot to visit her whenever he came to Wucheng in Wu Kingdom.

Upon returning from Anguo and Andu, Jiang Chen went straight to the palace.

For Jiang Chen, Xiao Yan was the only woman he had slept with while she was pregnant.

I'd say it felt pretty good.

“Now that you are my man, I will naturally serve you,” Xiao Yan said, leaning against Jiang Chen’s chest.

The first time, it was somewhat out of necessity, but later Xiao Yan not only didn't refuse, she even took the initiative.

“Yes, I will be your only man from now on,” Jiang Chen said.

Xiao Yan glanced at Jiang Chen but said nothing.

“I came from Anguo this time,” Jiang Chen said.

"Anguo?"

"Yes, I received news that Beipan has already amassed an army of over 100,000." Jiang Chen recounted the situation in Beipan.

"Bei Pan is really heading south." Xiao Yan and the others' expressions changed slightly.

“Yes, so I will help you resolve the Wu Kingdom matter as soon as possible,” Jiang Chen said.

"Your Jiang family..."

"Snapped!"

Xiao Yan was slapped by Jiang Chen before she could finish speaking.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yan asked, displeased.

"Aren't you a member of the Jiang family?" Jiang Chen asked.

“I…” Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.

“You and your child will both be members of the Jiang family from now on. If you want to become the Empress, I will make you the Empress,” Jiang Chen said.

"Don't you want to be the emperor?" Xiao Yan asked.

“I am already the emperor of several countries,” Jiang Chen said.

"Emperors of several countries?" Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.

“Yes, I’ll take you to see them after you give birth. And among my women, there are several empresses,” Jiang Chen said.

"Several empresses?" Xiao Yan was dumbfounded.

"Do you remember Li Yunrui, whom you met before?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I remember." Xiao Yan nodded.

She had met Li Yunrui a few times.

It can be said that Li Yunrui was the liaison between her and the Jiang family in their cooperation.

“Li Yunrui is the eldest princess of a country,” Jiang Chen said.

"Li Yunrui is the eldest princess?" Xiao Yan was stunned.

Then, Xiao Yan thought of Li Yunrui's temperament.
