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

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice, Li Qingrou's aura instantly surged. This heartless man had finally realized he was coming. Li Qingrou now wished she could just grab her sword and chase after Lu Chen to chop him down.

However, she quickly suppressed her anger.

Then, forcing a smile, she said, "Yunwan, see what I told you? Lu Chen is here, isn't he?"

The moment she saw Lu Chen, a glimmer of light seemed to appear in Wu Yunwan's eyes.

Seeing Wu Yunwan lying on the soft couch with her hair disheveled, Lu Chen immediately felt that he had indeed gone too far. Even if he really wanted to do this, he should have told Wu Yunwan in advance.

Setting a trap for the Wu family without even a word of warning would probably make Wu Yunwan think that she doesn't trust her or that she has some kind of problem with her.

Lu Chen then came to Wu Junwan's bedside with a smile. Just as Wu Junwan was about to get up, Lu Chen quickly helped her up and said, "Junwan, just lie down."

Wu Yunwan calmly said, "I am pregnant and unable to serve Your Majesty. Please do not be angry."

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Yunwan, what are you saying? Even if I were a beast, I wouldn't do anything to you at this time."

Li Qingrou then seemed to remember something and said, "Lu Chen, Yun Wan, I have something to do, so I'll head back first. You two can continue your conversation."

At this point, Li Qingrou looked at Lu Chen and said, "Lu Chen, you haven't been back for so long, you must have a lot to say to Junwan."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled, but he didn't understand what Li Qingrou meant.

Li Qingrou then turned and left.

After Li Qingrou left, Lu Chen put his arm around Wu Junwan, kissed her forehead, and said, "Junwan, I find you more and more charming."

Wu Yunwan ignored Lu Chen's words and instead said, "Your Majesty must have something to say to me, right?"

Wu Yunwan could also see that Lu Chen seemed very uncomfortable. Obviously, Lu Chen was like this because of the Wu family's affairs.

Lu Chen said directly, "Yunwan, I suddenly remembered that before leaving Yancheng, I gave the Embroidered Uniform Guard an order to test whether the Wu family still had any intention of rebelling."

"I never expected that Wu Ming would actually rebel. I heard that you've been feeling very down because of this."

"Sigh, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let people test them. I should have understood this sooner: human nature can't withstand tests."

Looking into Wu Junwan's beautiful eyes, Lu Chen continued, "Junwan, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan smiled and said, "I have never been angry with His Majesty. I just feel that His Majesty may not trust me, which makes me feel a little sad."

"I know His Majesty is always worried about the Wu family, believing they might rebel in the future, so it's better to expel them and eliminate them directly."

"Even if His Majesty really intends to take action against the Wu family, I won't say anything."

Upon hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen thought to himself, just as he had suspected, Wu Yunwan was indeed upset because he hadn't told her about the Wu family beforehand.

Lu Chen then said, "This was indeed something I didn't consider carefully, and I won't do it again in the future."

Wu Yunwan looked at Lu Chen's handsome, angular face and then said, "Your Majesty, I am relieved that you came to see me and told me all this."

Although she was initially saddened, the fact that Lu Chen took the initiative to talk to her about these things and apologized to her as the ruler of a country was enough to show how much he loved her.

If Lu Chen had no feelings for her and considered her nothing more than a vessel or a plaything, then there was no need for him to say these things to her, much less apologize to her.

Lu Chen raised his hand and gently stroked Wu Junwan's beautiful face, smiling as he said, "You are my wife, and naturally I don't want to see you depressed and melancholy."

At this point, Lu Chen gently leaned in and kissed Wu Junwan's red lips, "Mmm..."

Wu Yunwan did not expect Lu Chen to kiss her at this moment, but she did not resist and tried her best to cooperate with Lu Chen.

Wu Junwan is currently pregnant, and Lu Chen only kissed her; he couldn't possibly do anything too extreme to her.

Even a kiss can deepen the feelings between two people. Lu Chen's kiss instantly dispelled the depression that Wu Yunwan had been suppressing for months.

At that moment, Li Qingrou, who was outside the palace, breathed a slight sigh of relief after sensing what was happening inside. Her good friend had finally returned to normal.

However, Li Qingrou soon harbored more resentment towards Lu Chen. It was all because of this guy; otherwise, how could the two sisters have ended up in this situation?

After a moment, Li Qingrou sighed softly.

Well, everything is already set in stone. Wu Junwan is about to give birth to Lu Chen's child, so let things continue as they are from now on.

Although Lu Chen is a bit of a womanizer, he's alright in many ways. Hopefully, he won't hurt Wu Junwan anymore in the future.

Just as Li Qingrou was thinking this, Wu Junwan suddenly spoke up, "Qingrou, come in."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingrou was stunned.

However, she still opened the door and entered the bedchamber again. Li Qingrou asked, puzzled, "Yunwan, what's wrong?"

Wu Junwan said with a smile, "Qingrou, I'm pregnant and can't take care of Lu Chen. You can take care of him tonight."

This……

Just as Li Qingrou was about to say something, Lu Chen said to Wu Junwan, "Junwan, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm the kind of person who needs a woman to serve him at night to be able to sleep?"

Wu Junwan said with a smile, "You're putting on an act. How many times did you torment Qingrou back in my palace?"

After Wu Junwan resolved her inner conflict, she became much more cheerful and didn't care at all about Lu Chen and Li Qingrou's affair.

On the contrary, she wanted to take this opportunity to help Li Qingrou alleviate her lovesickness.

Lu Chen goes to all the other women's places, but he never comes here. Since he finally came today, let's take this opportunity to let Lu Chen favor Li Qingrou.

Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed by Wu Yunwan's words. He had come to Wu Yunwan mainly to comfort her, but Wu Yunwan asked him to do "that" with another woman.

This won't do...

At this moment, Wu Yunwan continued, "If Your Majesty is unwilling, then Your Majesty may go to the other sisters' palaces tonight."

Lu Chen smiled, he understood what Wu Junwan meant, and then said, "Okay, okay, I agree."

Seeing that Lu Chen actually agreed, the beautiful woman Li Qingrou was stunned.

What does that mean? She hasn't even said a word, and the two of them have already decided her fate tonight?

Before Li Qingrou could react, her body suddenly went out of control, and her plump and delicate body flew directly into Lu Chen's arms.

Lu Chen had Li Qingrou sit on his lap and whispered in her ear, "Qingrou, I am now a Celestial Being. Would you like to test the strength of a Celestial Being?" (End of Chapter)
