Chapter 333 You seem to be acting a little strange lately

Seeing that Lu Chen did nothing but hug her delicate body and fall asleep, Yelü Nanyan was somewhat bewildered.

Are you really going to sleep?

Isn't it still very early?

The night is long, shouldn't we do something?

Yelü Nanyan didn't think she had done anything to anger Lu Chen, which was why he wouldn't touch her. If Lu Chen really had a problem with her, he wouldn't have come to her bedroom to sleep.

After hearing Lu Chen's snoring, Yelü Nanyan was basically certain that Lu Chen was indeed asleep.

Yelü Nanyan quickly realized that Lu Chen must have done something with a woman in the study earlier that day, which was why he couldn't concentrate in the evening.

Although most of the women in the Prince's mansion were in the main hall when they had dinner earlier, Lu Chen had so many women. It wasn't just the Prince's mansion that had Lu Chen's women; there were women outside the mansion as well. Moreover, it was possible that Lu Chen had already found a new lover.

Having thought of this, Yelü Nanyan stopped thinking about it and closed her eyes to go to sleep.

The next morning, when Yelü Nanyan woke up, she saw a blurry figure standing by her bed.

She rubbed her eyes and discovered that it was actually Lu Chen.

Yelü Nanyan was quite surprised that Lu Chen had gotten up so early.

In the past, when Lu Chen came to her place, he would almost always sleep in and wouldn't get up this early. Lu Chen loved to hold her hot body in his arms.

Why did you get up so early today?

Just as Yelü Nanyan was puzzled, Lu Chen turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Nanyan, you're awake. It's still early, sleep a little longer."

At this point, Lu Chen, who had already dressed, left the room before Yelü Nanyan even got out of bed. Yelü Nanyan quickly said from the bed, "Respectfully seeing off Your Highness."

Watching Lu Chen's departing figure, a trace of worry flashed in Yelü Nanyan's beautiful eyes. Lu Chen gave her a very strange feeling today.

As for what's strange about it...

Too serious?

Yes, it's just too serious.

The Lu Chen of the past wasn't this serious.

Lu Chen was naturally very fond of beautiful women. Whenever he held her, his hands would roam all over her body, and he would kiss her every morning after waking up. But today, Lu Chen just left without a word.

Something's definitely not right...

After thinking for a while, Yelü Nanyan still couldn't figure out why Lu Chen had become so serious. In the end, she could only guess that Lu Chen must have been busy these past two days, so he had no interest in matters between men and women.

The news that Zhuge Chongguang is not a celestial being has now spread to all the major dynasties, and the Northern Kingdom will face a lot of trouble. It is normal for Lu Chen to feel pressured at this time.

With that thought in mind, Yelü Nanyan stopped letting her mind wander.

After getting up from Yelü Nanyan's place, Lu Chen went to the main courtyard for breakfast. Even Mu Zixuan was very surprised to see Lu Chen get up so early.

As everyone knows, Lu Chen is the one in the entire Prince's Mansion who loves to stay in bed the most and likes to lie in a woman's arms. Unexpectedly, Lu Chen got up so early today and even took the initiative to come and eat breakfast.

Most of the time, Mu Zixuan would have her maid deliver breakfast to her study.

Mu Zixuan didn't think much of it. She guessed that Lu Chen must have something on his mind today, which was why he got up so early.

After finishing breakfast, Lu Chen went to his study to handle official business.

Lu Chen spent most of the day in his study dealing with official documents, even eating lunch there, looking extremely focused.

As evening fell, Lu Chen repeated his routine from the previous day, returning to the main hall for dinner, and then casually choosing one of his wives or concubines to sleep with.

Lu Chen's life continued like this for the next few days.

He gets up very early in the morning, washes up and eats breakfast. After breakfast, he goes to his study to handle government affairs. Occasionally, he goes out to inspect the housing construction around Yancheng. Then, he will have dinner with his wives and concubines in the evening. After dinner, he will choose one of his wives or concubines to sleep with.

When choosing his wives and concubines to sleep with, Lu Chen did not show favoritism to any of them, changing them every day, making him appear to be a good man.

early morning.

Lu Chen woke up from Chu Yuqin's soft and fragrant body. Just as he was about to get up, he found that Chu Yuqin's eyes were staring straight at him.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "My wife, why are you awake so early?"

Chu Yuqin looked at Lu Chen with suspicion and said, "Chen'er, you seem to be acting a little strange lately."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen asked, "Something's not right? What's wrong?"

Chu Yuqin said, "I heard from Zixuan and the others that you've suddenly become much more well-behaved these past few days. You basically go to bed as soon as you get in the morning and get up when it's just getting light."

Lu Chen, that lecherous man, suddenly became so honest. No woman could possibly fail to notice. They knew exactly what kind of person Lu Chen was. The change in Lu Chen was too obvious to them, which puzzled his wives and concubines.

At first, they thought Lu Chen was getting tired of it, after all, he hardly rested every day. There was no man in the world as diligent as Lu Chen, so that his harem of so many women could be so harmonious.

Mu Zixuan and the others thought that Lu Chen was doing the same thing every day, so he must be getting tired of it, which is why he suddenly became so well-behaved and went to sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow every day.

Later, the women gathered together and discussed it. They discovered that Lu Chen treated all of them the same way. In the past few days, Lu Chen hadn't touched a single woman.

Later, they suspected that Lu Chen might have been having an affair in his study, which explained his lack of interest in returning home at night. However, when they called the maid in the study over to ask her, they discovered that no woman had entered Lu Chen's study recently, and that Lu Chen had been diligently handling government affairs ever since he entered the study, which had been the case for the past few days.

This made Mu Zixuan and the others even more puzzled. They even suspected that Lu Chen was already dying or had contracted some kind of illness. They were very worried about his condition. In the end, they decided to have Chu Yuqin, Lu Chen's "elder," directly ask Lu Chen.

Lu Chen and Chu Yuqin have the deepest bond. If Chu Yuqin asks Lu Chen a question, Lu Chen should be able to answer.

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's words, Lu Chen sighed slightly and said, "In two months, Da Wu will be attacking the Northern Kingdom. There will be a lot to do in the coming days, and I don't have the mind to do those things for the time being."

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Chu Yuqin also sighed, "Sure enough, Zixuan and the others said that you seem to be acting strangely lately. I suspected that something big is about to happen in the North, and that you are under a lot of pressure."

"Chen'er, I believe that the Northern Kingdom will be able to overcome this difficulty. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. In fact, the more pressure you have, the more you should release it. If you keep the pressure inside, it can easily lead to a mental breakdown and ruin your health."

At this point, Chu Yuqin sighed again, "I'm just a woman, and I can't help you with this kind of thing. If you're under too much pressure, let me help you relax."

At this point, Chu Yuqin's jade-like hand inside the quilt began to move downwards.

Lu Chen quickly replied, "No need for now. I have things to do today and need to get up early."

At this point, Lu Chen quickly threw off the covers, got out of bed, and looked into Chu Yuqin's eyes, saying, "Don't worry, my wife. If the pressure on me really becomes too much for me to bear, I'll ask you to help me relax."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen picked up his clothes and started to put them on himself. Seeing that Lu Chen had said so, Chu Yuqin didn't say anything more. She also got up from the bed and helped Lu Chen put on his clothes and tie his belt.
