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

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Lu Chen simply smiled slightly, "Didn't you just say you were afraid that if something happened to me, it would sever Yunwan's path to immortality?"

"Helping me is helping Yunwan, and it's also helping yourself."

Seeing that Lu Chen had brought up Wu Yunwan again, Li Qingrou immediately frowned.

Seeing her expression, Lu Chen said, "Why are you frowning? Frowning often will cause wrinkles."

Li Qingrou ignored Lu Chen's words and looked at Wu Junwan beside her.

Wu Junwan remained silent throughout, knowing full well that her best friend would definitely help Lu Chen.

Once you become Lu Chen's woman, it's impossible for you to be indifferent to his affairs; that's the most terrifying ability of this man.

At this moment, Wu Yunwan seemed to understand what Li Qingrou was waiting for, so she took the initiative to speak to Li Qingrou and said, "Qingrou, if possible, I would like you to help His Majesty. If you help him, you are helping me."

Wu Yunwan spoke up, and Li Qingrou then said to Lu Chen, "For Yunwan's sake, I can help you this time, but only this once."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled. He naturally realized that Wu Yunwan's words were a way of giving Li Qingrou a way out.

Lu Chen then put his arm around Li Qingrou's slender waist, "Then I'll have to trouble my beloved concubine."

At this point, Lu Chen embraced the two women's voluptuous bodies and walked towards the soft couch.

Li Qingrou remained silent with a cold expression. After the three of them arrived at the soft couch, Lu Chen pushed Li Qingrou down onto it, then pinned her beneath him, looking down at her with his hand on the belt of her phoenix robe.

Looking at Li Qingrou's icy face, Lu Chen was about to lower his head to kiss her when Li Qingrou raised her hand and blocked his mouth.

"I suddenly remembered something!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't rush to continue, but asked curiously, "What is it?"

Li Qingrou said, "Murong Xue'er lives next door too, right?"

Lu Chen said, "Yes."

Li Qingrou continued, "She was originally my maid. Now that I am your woman, she should naturally serve you as well."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. He instantly understood what Li Qingrou meant. Li Qingrou wanted to drag someone down with her!

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I understand."

At this point, Lu Chen said to the maidservant in the room who was in charge of attending to his needs, "Go and summon Consort Murong."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maid quickly arrived next door. At that moment, Murong Xue'er was writing in her bedroom. She naturally knew that Lu Chen was in the next room. Every time Lu Chen went next door, she would have trouble sleeping and would feel extremely restless.

Today, in order to calm herself down, she started practicing calligraphy, hoping to achieve a state of tranquility and remain unaffected by the despicable couple next door.

Just as Murong Xue'er picked up her brush and wrote a few words, a maid's voice rang out at the door, "Your Highness, His Majesty requests that you go to Consort Wu's room to serve him in bed."

Upon hearing the maid's words, Murong Xue'er was stunned, her jade arm dangling in mid-air.

She knew exactly who lived next door; there were already two women there, yet she was being asked to serve them in bed.

Murong Xue'er quickly guessed what had happened; it must have been Li Qingrou's idea!

As the former Yue Emperor, Li Qingrou's boss must have felt ashamed for eavesdropping next door every time, so he wanted to drag her over to keep Lu Chen company.

Murong Xue'er is still very afraid of Li Qingrou. After all, she grew up in the palace after the Murong family was destroyed, and she spent a lot of time with Li Qingrou. Many of her things were taught to her by Li Qingrou.

Her fear of Li Qingrou couldn't be eliminated in a day or two. Even though they were now Lu Chen's women, Murong Xue'er still didn't dare to use that status to disrespect Li Qingrou.

After regaining her senses, Murong Xue'er sighed softly, then placed the brush in her hand on the inkstone and walked towards the door. "I'm coming right now."

Soon, Murong Xue'er arrived at the next room. As soon as she entered, she found Lu Chen tidying up Li Qingrou.

Li Qingrou seemed to realize that Murong Xue'er had entered the room. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Murong Xue'er at the door. At this moment, Li Qingrou's charming face had turned cold. "Come here!"

Upon hearing Li Qingrou's command, Murong Xue'er's body moved instinctively, and she quickly arrived at the soft couch.

"Take it off!"

Li Qingrou again ordered Murong Xue'er to take off all her clothes, and Murong Xue'er had no choice but to comply.

A moment later, Li Qingrou suddenly realized that the curse mark she had left on Murong Xue'er was still there.

and many more……

That cursed seal doesn't seem to be a real cursed seal?

When Murong Xue'er was serving in Yancheng, she returned to Dayue, and Li Qingrou also examined the curse mark on Murong Xue'er's body once.

When she examined Murong Xue'er, she didn't examine her carefully, and since she wasn't a Celestial at that time, she didn't realize that the curse mark was just a drawing.

However, now that she was a celestial being, she could tell with just a glance that the curse mark had no effect and was merely a pattern.

Just then, Li Qingrou nudged Lu Chen's chest and said, "Let her serve you first."

Lu Chen smiled faintly. This woman was really assertive. Look how frightened Murong Xue'er was; her delicate body was trembling slightly.

Lu Chen then slowly stood up and smiled at Murong Xue'er beside the soft couch, saying, "Xue'er, don't be afraid, come here. With me here, she won't dare to do anything to you."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er became bolder. She then lay down next to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen immediately turned over and kissed Murong Xue'er's red lips.

Before long, Li Qingrou understood why Lu Chen had said that the curse mark on Murong Xue'er's body had actually helped him. The curse mark wasn't entirely useless; it did have some effect.

Even though the original effect of the rune is gone, it can still play some practical role.

The next morning.

When Lu Chen woke up, Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan were sleeping on either side of him, while Murong Xue'er was lying on his chest.

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly. He was really getting more and more decadent. No wonder emperors loved power. This feeling was just too good.

Just then, Bai Qingqing's voice rang out from the doorway, "Your Majesty, Commander Liang requests an audience regarding that matter."

When Bai Qingqing's voice rang out, the girl opened her eyes. Murong Xue'er quickly placed her jade-like hands on the soft couch, trying to get up.

However, as soon as she moved, she sensed something was wrong, and immediately she collapsed weakly into Lu Chen's arms again.

Lu Chen raised his hand and stroked Murong Xue'er's jade-like back, saying with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even moved yet."

At this point, Lu Chen said to Bai Qingqing at the door, "Have him wait for me in the Imperial Study. I'll be there after I take a bath." (End of Chapter)
