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

In the end, Lu Ping agreed to Cang Yue's request, but not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow.

Since we're going to soak in hot springs, we can't just rush there and back like we're going to a market. We should enjoy it properly and stay for at least half a day, like a picnic.

We need to prepare something.

Come to think of it, he's been in this world for over two years and hasn't really enjoyed it much yet.

At first, he was busy courting death and ascending to immortality, but later he unknowingly became so concerned about the world that he couldn't extricate himself.

Ultimately, he wasn't a person of strong will. If he were heartless and hardened, he'd probably be drinking with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden right now.

After agreeing on a time, Cang Yue happily went back.

As usual, Chai Hongyu closely protected him as he returned to his residence.

At night, Chai Hongyu went to a private room, and Lu Chen also prepared to undress and rest.

However, at that moment, a slight surge of energy suddenly emerged, forming a sophisticated magic array around Lu Chen that isolated all sound.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, Fu Xuan, supporting her slightly protruding belly, appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Chen.

"what happened?"

Lu Chen had gotten used to Fu Xian's sudden appearances, but since Chai Hongyu returned to his side, she rarely reverted to her original body at night, at most turning into a figurine-sized figure and lying next to him.

The fact that things have suddenly returned to normal suggests that something must have happened.

Fu Xian didn't speak immediately, but instead tilted her head slightly and looked at Lu Chen quietly, as if she wanted to etch his image firmly into the deepest part of her heart.

She didn't speak, so Lu Chen didn't ask any more questions.

After a long while, Fu Xuan took a deep breath and parted her lips slightly.

"I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback.

The reason why Fu Xian stayed by his side all the time, even when she was pregnant, was not only because she wanted to spend the last moments of this life with him, but also because she wanted to avoid the causal lock cast by Fu Hua.

But now she says she wants to leave.

The reason is obvious, you don't even need to ask.

His expression returned to calm in just a moment.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Fu Xian shook his head.

"No need, everything will happen naturally."

As she spoke, she suddenly stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Lu Chen tightly, burying her head deeply in Lu Chen's chest, greedily inhaling his scent, as if she wanted to become one with him.

Lu Chen didn't say anything more, nor did he push her away. Instead, he reached out and gently stroked Fu Xian's back.

"Take care."

Those three simple words instantly brought tears to Fu Xuan's eyes.

She didn't speak, only letting out a trembling nasal sound.

About fifteen minutes later, seeing that Fu Xian still hadn't responded, Lu Chen spoke up somewhat helplessly.

"It's getting late."

Fu Xuan's delicate body trembled, and a trace of sorrow quietly flashed across her increasingly human-like face.

"I see."

She slowly released her hand, and before Lu Chen could look at her, she suddenly turned around. At the same time, she waved her hand, and the space beside her was instantly torn apart. The Heavenly Secrets Bureau's treasure—the Heavenly Prophecy Disc—appeared in her hand and then flew behind her, hovering quietly.

The moment the Heavenly Prophecy Disc returned to its place, all the emotions on Fu Xuan's face vanished instantly. She transformed from a weak woman who had just become a wife back into the Director of the Heavenly Secrets Bureau, who could deduce heavenly secrets and bring good fortune and avoid misfortune for the Holy Realm.

The strongest diviner.

A moment later, the Heavenly Manifestation Disc began to spin rapidly, and a mysterious power quickly enveloped Fu Xian's entire body.

As the unique spell was activated, Fu Xian's body gradually faded, slowly turning into a phantom.

patter
A slight sound came from near Fu Xian's feet, as if something had fallen.

"Lu Chen".

She suddenly spoke again.

"Ok?"

Lu Chen responded, but Fu Xian did not continue speaking and instead fell silent.

After a while, her voice gradually rang out.

"The stars move about, in the north at noon and in the south at dusk; wherever they are, it is auspicious." She paused for a moment, as if she was struggling with something, her fist clenched tightly under her sleeve.

A few breaths later, she suddenly sighed.

"if"

However, before she could finish speaking, Lu Chen suddenly interrupted her, saying, "Sorry, I don't understand the Dao of Mystery, so I don't understand what you're saying."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan was taken aback, her mouth slightly agape.

"Then I'll..."

"No need."

Lu Chen shook his head and said softly:

"I am not interested in metaphysics, nor do I like to deduce cause and effect, and I dislike the future that cannot be changed."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said inexplicably, "Fu Xian, I believe you will be a good mother in the future, but don't forget that you are the Director of the Heavenly Secrets Bureau. On your shoulders, you not only bear the future of millions of subjects of the Cangming Realm, but also the fate of trillions of lives in the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Don't let all of this down."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xian immediately understood.

My heart skipped a beat.

After a moment, she slowly nodded.

"I understand."

Without saying anything more, Fu Xian's spiritual power began to surge wildly, and the magic array beneath her feet began to operate at high speed, causing her to become increasingly ethereal.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

After Fu Xian left, Lu Chen did not rest immediately. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the spot where Fu Xian had disappeared, his gaze becoming increasingly complicated.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

"That's it, that's it."

He turned over and lay down on the bed while murmuring to himself.

Before long, the lights in the main room quietly went out.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Tiance Mansion.

Shence Hall.

Jiang Chengdao, who was handling military affairs, suddenly looked up as if he had a premonition and looked towards the window not far away.

The next second, a phantom image suddenly appeared by the window, and then quickly solidified.

However, it was Fu Xuan who had just left Lu Chen's place.

"Your Highness, Holy King."

Fu Xian cupped his hands in greeting to Jiang Chengdao and said softly, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Fu Qing."

Although Jiang Chengdao felt somewhat surprised, he did not show it. Instead, he glanced at Fu Xian's slightly protruding belly with great interest.

"Can you tell me where you've been all this time, and what has happened to you?"

Fu Xuan remained calm and expressionless as he said, "This humble subject has been targeted by several terrifying beings and has been using the art of invisibility to hide near Lord Lu."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengdao was instantly stunned.

A moment later, a strange expression appeared on the face beneath the mask.

"his?"

"Ah."

Fu Xian did not deny it, and there was nothing to hide.

However, she did not intend to say more. Instead, when Jiang Chengdao was about to ask again, she interrupted him directly, saying, "Your Highness, do you still remember what I instructed you to do before?"

When it came to serious matters, Jiang Chengdao immediately composed himself.

"remember."

He inexplicably squinted his eyes.

"If there are dangers, we'll head east, is that right?" (End of Chapter)
