Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Fu Xian obviously had no interest in the affairs of Lu Chen and Chai Hongyu. He just made a casual joke and didn't say anything else.

Then, she glanced at Chai Hongyu who was curiously looking at the celestial prophecy plate behind her, then turned her head and looked at Lu Chen, saying calmly: "Is it convenient for you now, Mr. Lu? I have something I want to talk to you alone."

"no!"

Before Lu Chen could speak, Chai Hongyu said in a cold voice: "Sir, no matter what you want, for the safety of the governor, I must guard you by your side. Please forgive me."

Lu Chen looked at Fu Xian with some embarrassment.

He did not doubt Fu Xian's identity. Tianchenpan could not impersonate her, so he was naturally not worried that she would do something bad to him.

Even if she really wanted to harm him, it didn't matter. At worst, he would die. He was not afraid of death. In the past, he even deliberately pursued death and ascension. Although the idea has faded now, it is not unacceptable.

It was just that it was difficult for him to refuse Chai Hongyu's kindness.

Seeing this, Fu Xian did not insist, but thought of a compromise.

Then, in front of Lu Chen, she reached into her bosom, took out a jade talisman from her bellyband, and handed it to Chai Hongyu.

Lu Chen's eyes widened: "???"

Chai Hongyu frowned: "."

An expression as if to say, "So there is this trick."

"This is my life talisman. If you crush it, I will die immediately."

Fu Xian acted as if nothing had happened, and said naturally, "I will set up a communication interruption spell and talk with Lu Shaobao inside the barrier. You can prepare a defensive spell for Lu Shaobao, and then monitor my every move outside the barrier. If I make any unusual movements, you can crush the jade talisman at any time."

Looking at the life talisman in front of her, Chai Hongyu couldn't help but hesitate.

With her vision and knowledge, there was certainly no problem with the life talisman, and it did have the effect that Fu Xian described.

The other party has put his life in her hands, and it is just a communication-cutting spell. She can completely ignore its effect and provide Lu Chen with the greatest degree of protection, which is the same as standing next to him.

There is no need to worry about safety issues.

But. She was a little concerned about what Fu Xian wanted to say to Lu Chen.

For some reason, she always had a bad feeling and felt a vague sense of uneasiness in her heart.

She hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Lu Chen, and then asked, "I am the Governor-General's confidant. I can swear on my fate that I will never reveal a single word of the conversation between you and the Governor-General. Can you allow me to be present and listen?"

"Feel sorry."

Fu Xian said firmly: "This matter concerns the secrets of the Holy Land. No outsiders can be present under any circumstances. Please forgive me."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Fu Sizheng, Miss Chai is not an outsider, and I never avoid her when it comes to my affairs, so just let her stay aside."

Hearing this, Chai Hongyu was immediately moved and looked at Lu Chen, almost staring at him. Lu Chen was a little overwhelmed, and coughed lightly and looked away.

Fu Xian glanced at him and said calmly: "To the Holy Land, this girl is an outsider."

Hearing this, Chai Hongyu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm a little confused. Since I'm an outsider to the Holy Land, then Governor..."

However, before she could finish, Fu Xian interrupted with a blank expression: "His Royal Highness the Saint King said that he is a person who can be absolutely trusted, and the Governor-General can be regarded as one of his own."

These words made Chai Hongyu choke, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She couldn't refute that Lu Chen was not so trustworthy, right? Besides, they had said that Lu Chen was specially appointed by the Holy King, so she had no right to question the Holy King.

You must know that the Return to One State is only the ceiling for cultivators, while the Saint King is an existence that transcends the Return to One State.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Daxia did not have the Saint King, the situation would definitely be much worse than it is now. It can even be said that it would be impossible to contend with the King of Chu, who has integrated the forces of the aristocratic families, sects, powerful families, etc.

It was precisely because of the Holy King's backup that the basic situation was stabilized, and Lu Chen continued to strengthen the country's strength and expand the court's advantages through new policies, which gradually brought the situation under control.

Although Chai Hongyu is a top-level combat force and is of great significance to the imperial court, she cannot be compared with the Holy King. Fu Xian is from the Holy Realm and has Holy King Cangming behind her. The other party has given her enough respect. What else can she say at this moment?
Although she was unwilling, she also knew that now was not the time to worry about this, so she nodded and replied reluctantly "Okay", then walked to Lu Chen's side and prepared the highest level of defense.

Talking is talking, joking is joking, but you can’t joke about Lu Chen’s safety.

Seeing this, Lu Chen did not insist any longer.

Soon, in this new house with a rather strange atmosphere, the communication-cutting ritual was completed quickly. Lu Chen and Fu Xian walked to the table covered with a bright red tablecloth and sat opposite each other.

The embarrassing thing was that on the tray on the table, there was a pole for holding the bride's red veil, a wine pot, two glasses of wine, and next to the tray was an extremely festive red veil.

Subconsciously, I glanced around and saw a conspicuous red wedding dress hanging quietly next to the wardrobe not far away.
Looking at the three-no girl in front of him, Lu Chen touched his nose habitually, and then said straight to the point: "Fu Sizheng, can you tell me what you want from me now?"

Fu Xian nodded.

"Ah."

As she spoke, she pondered for a moment, then raised her head slightly.

But the first sentence she said made Lu Chen freeze in place.

"Lu Shaobao, according to the divination I have recently obtained, His Majesty the Holy King will face a fatal disaster. If he does not avoid it, His Majesty the Holy King will surely die. Moreover, I have also calculated that if we want to change His Majesty the Holy King's fatal disaster, the key lies in you, Lu Shaobao."

"So, I came here to ask for your opinion."

At this point, she paused for a moment, and a serious look gradually appeared on her face: "If there is a way to sacrifice you to save His Majesty the Holy King, would you agree?" (End of this chapter)
