Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

After coming up with a solution, Wu Yunwan immediately said to Lu Chen, "I can agree to your request, but how can I be sure that what you're saying is true or false?"

"What if I bear you a child, but you refuse to allow the people of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty to enter the ancient ruins to search for ancient legacies?"

Lu Chen said, "Don't worry about that, I always keep my word."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Junwan still suspected that he was lying to her.

However, she has no better solution right now. It seems that only by cooperating with Lu Chen can she gain the opportunity to enter the ancient ruins.

Actually, she suspected that Lu Chen had already taken the ancient inheritance, but no matter what, she had to go in and verify it.

In any case, the ancient heritage must not fall into the hands of that witch from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

However, at this moment, Lu Chen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Are you thinking of pretending to agree to me first, then cleaning your body after each time to deliberately not conceive my child, and then using the excuse that spiritual warriors have difficulty conceiving to keep fobbing me off until the restrictions on the borderland are lifted and the soldiers of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty enter the borderland?"

Seeing that Lu Chen had guessed her thoughts, Wu Junwan frowned slightly.

It seems this guy isn't as stupid as she thought. If he's not stupid, then why did he dare to lay a hand on these women from Zhongzhou?

Now that Lu Chen has guessed her thoughts, he probably won't cooperate with her anymore.

This is troublesome.

After regaining her senses, Wu Yunwan stubbornly replied, "My word is as good as gold."

Lu Chen said, "That's not necessarily true; women's words can be deceiving."

Do you know why I guessed what you were thinking right away?

Wu Junwan looked at Lu Chen but did not respond.

Lu Chen continued, "Because the others thought the same thing."

Wu Junwan was speechless. She wondered how this guy could be so clever. It turned out that those women had made Lu Chen more vigilant, and they had taken all the paths, leaving him with nowhere to go.

But if that's what they think too, then why did Lu Chen say that someone had already had a child for him?

Thinking of this, Wu Junwan asked, "Since they are unwilling to have children for you, why do you still say that someone has already borne you offspring?"

Lu Chen said without any concealment, "Because I require them to conceive my child within three months, otherwise I will not agree to their conditions."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunwan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Lu Chen also plans to get her pregnant with his child within three months?

If that's the case, then she'll have no way to avoid it, and she'll be in trouble. She really doesn't want to bear children for this barbarian. Once this news gets back to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, her reputation will be completely ruined.

Although the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty didn't care about her innocence at all, after all, those princesses were much more adept at playing games than she was.

However, the royal family absolutely forbids the act of fathering offspring with the local inhabitants of the borderlands.

Even if they were promiscuous, those princesses didn't just have children with random men.

As the eldest princess of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, she actually gave birth to a child with a barbarian from the borderlands. If this were to get out, the Great Yan royal family would lose all face, and she, as the princess, might even be demoted to a commoner.

What should we do now?

Wu Junwan was caught in a dilemma.

As the eldest princess of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, she entered the borderlands to seize the ancient inheritance, and at the same time to prevent the Heavenly Demon Sect from obtaining it.

Once people learned that she had the opportunity to enter the ancient ruins but failed to seize it, instead allowing the demoness from the Heavenly Demon Sect to obtain the ancient inheritance within, it was all too late.

If she returns to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, she will be scorned by the people, and the royal family may demote her to a commoner.

Therefore, no matter what she chooses, it will be disadvantageous for her.

But then again.

If she can obtain the ancient inheritance, even if she has a child with a barbarian from the remote borderlands, no one will dare to say anything about her.

But the prerequisite is that she must obtain the ancient inheritance.

It's hard to say whether this ancient tradition still exists within the ancient ruins.

Doing this is tantamount to gambling.

If she loses the bet, she could very well be plunged into an abyss of no return.

If she wins the bet, her status will reach a whole new level when she returns to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

Seeing that Wu Junwan remained silent, Lu Chen continued to tempt her, saying, "Soon, someone will enter the ancient ruins. If you don't seize this opportunity, once they enter the ancient ruins and the ancient inheritance falls into their hands, then the task your father entrusted to you may not be completed."

"Think it over carefully. I'll give you time to think it over."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan couldn't hold back any longer and said directly, "Fine, I will also have a child for you."

Seeing that Wu Yunwan agreed, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then come back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion with me."

Wu Junwan sighed deeply in her heart. She never expected that she, the eldest princess of a celestial dynasty, would stoop so low as to use her body to exchange for benefits.

Subsequently, Wu Yunwan followed Lu Chen back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Lu Chen's actions were witnessed by the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Ji Yunmeng's spies quickly informed Ji Yunmeng that Lu Chen had brought a woman back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

When Ji Yunmeng heard that Lu Chen had brought a strange woman back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, she couldn't help but wonder if the woman Lu Chen took away was the Empress of the Great Yan.

However, she did not send anyone to inquire about the situation. After Lu Chen had his fill of pleasure, he would naturally come and tell her the woman's identity.

Even though she suspected that Wu Yunwan had been captured by Lu Chen, Ji Yunmeng did not let her guard down, and the capital was still under martial law.

Although Wu Yunwan has been captured, there are still many people from other regions lurking in the capital. These people are very well hidden. Like Wu Yunwan, they usually pretend to be ordinary people and never reveal their presence.

Ji Yunmeng was still not at ease with this group of people.

After Wu Yunwan and Lu Chen returned to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Lu Chen couldn't wait to have the maids take Wu Yunwan to take a bath.

The room was filled with steaming heat.

Behind the screen, a shapely figure was reflected on it.

At this moment, Lu Chen entered the room. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Wu Junwan, who was taking a bath, frowned slightly.

Although she was already aware of what was going to happen next, she still felt a little resistant.

Of course, she wasn't against having sex with Lu Chen; she just didn't want to get pregnant with his child.

Just then, Lu Chen's voice came: "Your Majesty, are you finished washing? Would you like me to help you clean yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunwan immediately said, "No need."

As soon as she finished speaking, she got out of the bathtub and had her maid quickly dress her in a white undergarment.

Then, Wu Yunwan came out from behind the screen.

She was dressed in a white undergarment that clung to her voluptuous figure, her curvaceous body arousing all who beheld her.

Seeing Lu Chen staring straight at him, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

Wu Yunwan felt very uncomfortable. After all, she was a princess of a celestial dynasty. Being stared at like that by a barbarian from a remote borderland made her feel offended.

As a person of high status, she had never been scrutinized so boldly before. (End of Chapter)
