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

Li Qingrou originally thought that Lu Chen really had something important to tell her, but after this bastard brought her to the room, he pushed her down onto the soft couch.

They started touching him before we even got down to business.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen embraced Li Qingrou's fair body, which was flushed with a hint of red, and whispered in her ear, "Those sects and forces have already recognized you as one of their own. After I leave, I'll leave Yancheng to you."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou sighed and said weakly in a cold voice, "Hmph... After humiliating me like this, do you think I will still protect Yancheng for you? Protect your wives, concubines, and children?"

"Who do you take me for?!"

Lu Chen said, "What humiliation? I'm about to leave Yancheng, and you don't know how long it will be before you see me again."

"I served you before I left Yancheng, which shows how good I am to you. If I leave for several months or a year, wouldn't you be very upset?"

Li Qingrou coldly replied, "So, I should thank you?"

Lu Chen continued working, "Oh, no need for thanks, phew... it's all I should do, after all, you're my wife."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Qingrou was both angry and annoyed. This bastard really treated her like his personal possession and slave.

"You want me to... help you? No problem, but from now on you must... treat Yunwan well..."

Lu Chen chuckled, turned her over so she was looking directly into his eyes, and said, "Even if you didn't say anything, I would still treat Yun Wan well, after all... hiss... she's also... my woman!"

Li Qingrou had no time to haggle with Lu Chen. Her earlier comment about being good to Yun Wan was just a thought that came to mind in a moment of confusion.

Li Qingrou understood why this guy had started touching her as soon as he brought her in. This bastard was definitely trying to tell her that she was now his possession, that she couldn't live without him, and that she had to listen to him.

Although Li Qingrou was very unhappy about being completely controlled by Lu Chen, she had no choice but to agree to his demands.

Of course, she had already made her decision long ago. Even if Lu Chen hadn't come to talk about this in person today, she would still have stood on the side of Da Xia.

I'll just consider it as doing it for the sake of my best friend.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Qingrou's once elegant hairstyle had become disheveled. Suddenly, Li Qingrou remembered something and said, "Bring...bring that lowly maid here!"

Whenever Li Qingrou is unhappy, she wants to see Murong Xue'er tortured by Lu Chen. Although her defeat has little to do with Murong Xue'er, Murong Xue'er betrayed her, and she doesn't want to see this maidservant have an easy time.

Lu Chen chuckled, grabbed Li Qingrou's arm, pulled her up, and said while holding her close, "Let's call it a day. I have things to do later."

He came here specifically to talk to Li Qingrou, not to have fun. Of course, some things could be done along the way.

Li Qingrou forced herself to speak and said, "Now that the barbarian goddess has also gone to the Great Qian Dynasty, are you really confident you can conquer it?"

Lu Chen replied, "Even if we're not confident, we must send troops. The restrictions on the Mist World are almost gone. I must hurry and unify this world. Only in this way can I integrate the power of this world to fight against the invading enemies from the Mist World!"

At this point, Lu Chen's emotions clearly surged, and he became even more violent.

Li Qingrou cursed Lu Chen in her heart again. This bastard is no human being.

"If you don't have any trump cards and rely solely on the power of this world, let alone fight against the entire Misty World, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to deal with the Misty Immortal Sect where I and Yunwan used to be."

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Lu Chen became interested and immediately said, "Oh? Is the Bewitching Immortal Sect very powerful?"

Li Qingrou replied, "The Misty Immortal Sect has at least two Yin-Yang Realm experts, and countless Heavenly Human Realm experts."

"There are only a handful of Celestials in this world. Are you sure you can contend with them?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen fell silent.

Seeing Lu Chen remain silent, Li Qingrou suddenly felt a sense of relief. She never thought that this scoundrel would have a day when he was afraid.

Li Qingrou continued, "Originally, if you had pleased me and Yunwan, we could have spoken well of you to our master after the restrictions on the Misty World disappeared, and she could have spared your life."

"But now you keep me and Yunwan locked up in your harem, treating us like playthings and humiliating us at will."

"Once my master finds out about this, I'm afraid you won't... Hiss... You... You scoundrel..."

Li Qingrou was about to be arrogant, but before she could finish her harsh words, Lu Chen interrupted her with a series of actions.

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Your master? If your master dares to come, I can still turn her into your sister."

"you!"

Li Qingrou was completely at a loss. She wanted to see what kind of trump card this bastard had when the restrictions on the misty world disappeared and he attacked, so that he was not even afraid of Yin-Yang Realm experts.

After giving Li Qingrou a stern lecture, Lu Chen left her on the bed and then went to the next room alone.

Wu Junwan was sitting on a soft couch, sewing children's clothes with a needle and thread in her hands.

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. Hearing Lu Chen's laughter, Wu Junwan immediately looked up at the door.

Seeing Lu Chen at the door, Wu Yunwan asked in confusion, "Your Majesty finished your business with Qingrou so quickly?"

Lu Chen replied with a smile, "I would have liked to talk to her a little longer, but unfortunately she didn't have the energy and fell asleep right away."

"How can someone as celestial as her have such poor stamina?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Junwan immediately wanted to roll her eyes at him.

Li Qingrou is indeed a celestial being, but she is still a woman. If Lu Chen gets ruthless, what woman can withstand his anger?

Lu Chen sat down next to Wu Junwan and gently put his arms around her belly.

Lu Chen looked down at the clothes Wu Junwan was sewing and said, "I've noticed that after you women have children, no matter what your living conditions are, you all like to sew clothes for your children by hand."

Even before Lu Chen became emperor, the Northern Prince's Mansion had already established a clothing factory, so they could make as many clothes as children wanted. However, Chu Yuqin and the others still preferred to sew their own clothes.

This also made Lu Chen realize the difference between this era and the one in his previous life.

Wu Junwan spoke up, "The clothes from the garment factory all look pretty much the same; none of them are as nice as the clothes we sew ourselves."

At this point, Wu Yunwan asked, "Did His Majesty come to see me for something?"

Lu Chen looked down at Wu Junwan's belly and said, "I don't know when I'll be back from this expedition. By the time I return, you might already be born."

"I'm worried about what might happen to you when you give birth while I'm not around." (End of Chapter)
