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

Seeing Xuan Yuan Yunqi looking at him with a suspicious gaze, Xuan Yuan Chen continued to persuade her, "Sister, you have served as the commander of the Imperial Guard for so long, spending most of your time in Yancheng. You couldn't possibly not know what kind of situation those Imperial Concubines in the palace are in."

"His Majesty dotes on his women. If you can serve him well, I believe he will agree to let you lead troops."

"Of course, even if His Majesty were to appoint you to lead troops, he would not appoint you as a commander-in-chief like me."

Although Xuan Yuan Yunqi has a talent for fighting, she has never been a commander-in-chief, and she is clearly not yet capable of leading a large army in battle.

Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Chen's words, Xuan Yuan Yun Qi became displeased. If her brother could become a commander-in-chief, why couldn't she? She could also learn to become a commander-in-chief.

If His Majesty gave her the opportunity, she believed that her abilities were in no way inferior to her brother's, but she had always been in the rear and had not had such an opportunity.

Despite knowing what her brother was planning, Xuan Yuan Yunqi still intended to go to the emperor in order to participate in the war against Da Qian.

What if the emperor actually agrees?

Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan Yunqi said, "I understand. I will go to see His Majesty in a couple of days."

……

night.

Inside Wu Junwan's palace, smoke swirled.

The two beautiful women sat cross-legged, talking intimately. Li Qingrou's bright red phoenix robe hung loosely, revealing her fair collarbone and fragrant shoulders, while her jade-like arms embraced Wu Junwan's soft body.

Since Li Qingrou came to Yancheng, the two of them have been living together every day.

Lu Chen has been busy feeding his wives and concubines these past few days, so he hasn't come to Wu Junwan's place yet, but he still enjoys seeing the two beautiful women being affectionate.

Li Qingrou raised her hand, lifted Wu Yunwan's chin, and looked into her phoenix eyes, saying, "Yunwan, when the restrictions on the Misty World disappear in the future, shall we return to the sect?"

Li Qingrou still didn't want to stay in Lu Chen's harem, and she planned to abduct Wu Yunwan as well.

After hearing Li Qingrou's words, Wu Junwan said, "Qingrou, I know you still have a grudge against Lu Chen. If you really don't want to stay here, you can talk to Lu Chen. He might agree to let you leave."

"The Palace Mistress of Xuan Yue Palace is also Lu Chen's woman, yet Lu Chen still let her return to Xuan Yue Palace."

"As long as you don't do anything to harm the interests of the Great Xia, he won't keep you imprisoned indefinitely."

Li Qingrou sighed softly, "Yunwan, are you really that eager to have children for him?"

"Look, he's been back for so long, and he hasn't come to see you even once. If he were your male lover, I might not say anything, but you have to understand that you're not the only woman he has, and there will be more and more of them."

"From now on, we will only be left alone in his harem."

Hearing this, Wu Junwan smiled slightly, then took Li Qingrou's hand and said, "Qingrou, if you stay in Yancheng for a while longer, you will understand that Lu Chen always treats everyone equally and doesn't particularly favor anyone."

"The reason he hasn't come these past few days is because it's not our turn yet."

Lu Chen has many women; even if he only has a few each night, it would still take him several days.

"I reckon he'll be coming to my place in the next day or two."

Seeing that Wu Junwan still harbored feelings for Lu Chen, Li Qingrou frowned slightly.

It seems that making Wu Junwan completely give up on Lu Chen is not an easy task. In addition, this man has many tricks up his sleeve, and once a woman gets involved with him, it is very difficult for her to leave him.

What should we do?

Could it be that I really have to stay in this damned harem for the rest of my life?

Just then, a man's voice came from outside.

"Qingrou, you've been here for several days now, and you're still not behaving yourself. You're even thinking of running away. Not only do you want to run away, but you also want to take Yunwan with you."

As soon as the voice faded, Wu Junwan's door opened, and Lu Chen entered from outside.

Both women turned to look at Lu Chen at the same time.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Chen, Li Qingrou showed no fear whatsoever. She calmly replied, "Aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble in your harem?"

Lu Chen smiled gently, "Of course I'm not afraid, and I believe that Yunwan cannot be taken away by you."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he teleported behind the two of them and sat down. Then, Lu Chen put his arm around Wu Yunwan's slender waist.

Lu Chen's sudden approach made Li Qingrou very uncomfortable. She was enjoying some alone time with Wu Junwan when this scoundrel had to come and interfere.

After Lu Chen put his arm around Wu Yunwan's slender waist, he gently stroked her belly with his large hand, saying as he did so, "Yunwan is already pregnant with my child, how could she possibly leave with you?"

"If she leaves, the child will either be without a father or a mother. I don't believe Yunwan can be so heartless."

"Do you think everyone cultivates the path of ruthlessness like you, abandoning family ties so easily?"

This……

Li Qingrou was taken aback after hearing Lu Chen's words.

She always wanted to leave with Wu Yunwan, but she overlooked the fact that Wu Yunwan was very different from herself. She walked the path of ruthlessness and could give up many things, but Wu Yunwan could not give up, especially blood ties.

Wu Junwan then said, "Your Majesty, Qingrou is just not used to this place yet, which is why she is thinking of leaving. Once she gets used to this place, she will no longer have such thoughts."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "She wants to leave, not because of a habit, but because she lacks my care."

At this point, Lu Chen directly wrapped his arm around Li Qingrou's waist. Li Qingrou was stunned for a moment, then coldly said, "What are you going to do to me!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Now that you are my Imperial Noble Consort, what do you think I would do?"

Li Qingrou's heart tightened. Although she had been this bastard's woman for more than a month and had been humiliated by him every day, that was after all without Wu Yunwan.

Now that her best friend was right in front of her, Li Qingrou didn't want Wu Junwan to see her ugly side.

Li Qingrou then threatened, "If you dare touch me, I will fight you to the death today!"

At this point, Li Qingrou began to struggle, but she immediately discovered that the spiritual power in her body had been sealed. This was just as she had thought. As long as she touched Lu Chen's body, Lu Chen could directly seal the spiritual power in her body, making her like an ordinary person. Then this guy could do whatever he wanted to her without restraint.

Lu Chen completely ignored Li Qingrou's threat. He pulled Li Qingrou up from the ground and then carried her in a princess carry.

Before Li Qingrou could break free, Lu Chen teleported and appeared beside Wu Junwan's bed with Li Qingrou in his arms. Then, he threw Li Qingrou onto Wu Junwan's soft couch.

"You want to take Yunwan with you? Then I'll have a serious talk with you today, in front of Yunwan." (End of Chapter)
