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

Chapter 702 Has Feng'er been acting strangely lately?

It was evening.

Inside the Fengyun Palace, only Mu Zixuan, Lu Chen, and a few maids remained.

After Lu Chen comforted them, his other wives and concubines were relieved and could only trust him now.

They couldn't get involved in this matter; they had no choice but to trust Lu Chen.

At this moment, Mu Zixuan sat on the wooden stool, sighed slightly, and then said to Lu Chen, "I am really useless. I can't help at all in this kind of situation."

Hearing this, Lu Chen slowly walked behind Mu Zixuan, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Don't say such things. Your ability to help me manage the affairs of the palace is a great help to me."

At this point, Lu Chen teleported away, and the two of them arrived on the soft couch.

Lu Chen let Mu Zixuan sit on his lap, and he put his arms around her soft body.

Feeling Lu Chen's passion, Mu Zixuan's cheeks flushed slightly. She then said, "Your Majesty, I have been feeling somewhat uncomfortable lately when I am practicing the Mysterious Maiden Technique. I wonder why."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked in confusion, "Unwell?"

Lu Chen then used his Rejuvenating Hand technique to examine Mu Zixuan's body and found that Mu Zixuan's body did not seem to have any problems.

Mu Zixuan blushed and said, "I don't know what's wrong, I just feel like something's missing."

Lu Chen instantly understood what was going on. Of course he knew what was missing. Without his assistance, his wives and concubines would feel a sense of loss and emptiness when cultivating the Mysterious Maiden Technique.

Although the Mysterious Maiden Technique is not a dual cultivation method, it still requires someone to guide you.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'll help you circulate your energy. Try practicing again."

At this point, Lu Chen gently placed Mu Zixuan on the soft couch, his large hands slowly roaming inside Mu Zixuan's palace dress. In just a moment, the two were already in the mood.

Seeing that Mu Zixuan's eyes were hazy with desire and she had completely forgotten about cultivating, Lu Chen reminded her, "Zixuan, it's time to circulate your energy."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zixuan suddenly came to her senses. "Ah... Your Majesty, I have been rude..."

She immediately circulated her internal energy, and this time, she found that the discomfort was indeed gone.

Lu Chen didn't take the initiative. He turned over with Mu Zixuan in his arms, letting her cultivate alone on top.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Zixuan suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy spreading within her body, and her cultivation level improved, directly advancing from the Dao Integration stage to the Celestial Realm.

Feeling the spiritual energy surging within her body, Mu Zixuan was extremely excited. She had finally broken through. Her talent was not good, and although she had been working hard to cultivate, her cultivation progress was relatively slow compared to Lu Chen's other women.

If it weren't for the revival of spiritual energy in the Tianchen World in recent years, coupled with the abundant cultivation resources provided by Lu Chen, her cultivation level wouldn't have been able to break through to the Dao Integration stage in such a short time.

She had been stuck at the Dao Integration stage for a long time and had not been able to break through. Lu Chen's other wives and concubines had all become Celestials, while she was still just an ordinary person, which made her quite anxious. Today, she finally entered the Celestial Realm.

Seeing Mu Zixuan's excited expression, Lu Chen lay on the bed and gazed at her rosy face with a slight smile.

Mu Zixuan quickly regained her senses, looked down at Lu Chen, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me break through to the Celestial Realm!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me; it's all the result of your hard work in cultivation."

Just then, the spiritual energy within Mu Zixuan's body involuntarily began to emanate outwards. Her spiritual energy was somewhat disordered, and Mu Zixuan felt that she could not control it.

Sensing Mu Zixuan's predicament, Lu Chen quickly released his spiritual power. In an instant, his spiritual power spread throughout the entire palace. Then, his spiritual power restricted the spiritual power in Mu Zixuan's body, preventing it from going out of control.

Mu Zixuan was originally just an ordinary person. She was not suitable for cultivation. Lu Chen forced her onto the path of cultivation, so her control over spiritual power was not as easy as that of her other wives and concubines.

At this moment, Mu Zixuan collapsed weakly, lying on Lu Chen's broad chest. Lu Chen had one arm around her slender waist and the other hand gently stroking her jade-like back.

"It's okay, relax and take it slow."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Zixuan calmed down a little. She began to slowly gather her spiritual power. With Lu Chen's help, Mu Zixuan quickly brought back the spiritual power that had spread out of Fengyun Palace.

Mu Zixuan took a breath and then said, "Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty..."

Lu Chen was about to say something when he suddenly froze.

While he was helping Mu Zixuan retract her spiritual power, his own spiritual power instantly covered the entire palace, and he sensed what was happening inside.

He noticed two figures moving about in the room where Lu Changfeng was.

Lu Chen's expression was somewhat stiff.

Seeing that Lu Chen suddenly stopped speaking, Mu Zixuan was somewhat confused. She slowly climbed off Lu Chen's chest and looked into his eyes. "Your Majesty? You?"

Lu Chen snapped out of his reverie and gazed into Mu Zixuan's beautiful eyes, asking, "Zixuan, has Feng'er been acting strangely lately?"

Hearing this question, Mu Zixuan was a little puzzled. Why did Lu Chen suddenly ask this question?

Something's wrong?

What could be wrong with him?

As the crown prince, Lu Changfeng studies every day and learns how to handle government affairs from Zhuge Chongguang. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about him.

Mu Zixuan replied, "Your Majesty, I haven't noticed anything unusual about him. Why do you ask?"

Mu Zixuan was afraid that Lu Changfeng had done something bad behind her back and that Lu Chen had found out. After all, Lu Changfeng was her son. For a moment, she was extremely nervous and looked at Lu Chen with panicked eyes.

Lu Chen said, "When did Wu Yao start following Feng'er? I can't quite remember."

Lu Chen initially thought Wu Yao was quite good-looking and loyal, and since she was also Wu Yunwan's younger sister, he let her enter the palace and serve as a maid to Lu Changfeng.

Mu Zixuan replied, "When Feng'er was five years old, Your Majesty arranged for Wu Yao to be by Feng'er's side."

Mu Zixuan became increasingly curious. Why was Lu Chen asking about Wu Yao again? Could it be that Wu Yao had done something outrageous again?

Upon hearing Mu Zixuan's answer, Lu Chen murmured, "When I was five years old, time really flies."

Lu Chen then withdrew his spiritual senses; he had no habit of spying on his son doing that kind of thing.

Wu Yao is more than ten years older than Lu Changfeng. Most importantly, Wu Yao is Wu Yunwan's younger sister. Although they don't have the same mother, they have the same father. Wu Yao is of a higher generation than Lu Changfeng.

Lu Chen had a headache. Why was his son learning this instead of the good things he had learned from him?

Now that Wu Yao has reached a mature and charming age, she is indeed very attractive to Lu Changfeng, so it's normal that he can't suppress his inner impulses.

However, considering the special bloodline of the Lu family, he had to remind Lu Changfeng that it was best not to have a child.

Lu Chen had no intention of breaking them up. What's done is done, and Wu Yao is a good woman, very sensible, and an asset to Lu Changfeng.

Lu Chen seemed to see his past self and Chu Yuqin.

……

at the same time.

The Eastern Palace.

Inside the room, under the dim light, two figures rose and fell.

At this moment, Wu Yao lay on the soft couch, gazing at the man who was more than ten years younger than her. A mix of anxiety, fear, and excitement welled up within her. "Your Highness, if His Majesty finds out, this servant…"

The Wu family was already in a rather awkward position. If the Xia Emperor found out that she had actually become the woman of the Crown Prince Lu Changfeng, he would likely think that she had deliberately seduced Lu Changfeng and had ulterior motives.

Lu Changfeng seemed not to hear Wu Yao's words, and said while doing his own thing, "Aunt Wu, it's alright, I will definitely make Father Emperor agree to let you be my woman."

Wu Yao was quite helpless. She did have some feelings for this young man, but their relationship was destined to have no future.

"Your Highness..."

"Mmm..."

Before Wu Yao could finish speaking, her mouth was covered.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Fengyun Palace, Mu Zixuan looked at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression. She still didn't understand why Lu Chen had mentioned Wu Yao at this time.

Seeing Mu Zixuan's worried expression, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Feng'er has grown up. It's time for someone to teach him some things about adulthood."

This……

Upon hearing this, Mu Zixuan was taken aback, and she instantly understood what Lu Chen meant.

However, Lu Chen just mentioned Wu Yao. Could it be that he wants Wu Yao to be Lu Changfeng's teacher?

That might not be appropriate, would it?

Wu Yao was, after all, Wu Yunwan's younger sister.

Mu Zixuan then said, "Your Majesty, you intend to have Wu Yao become Feng'er..."

Mu Zixuan did not continue speaking.

Lu Chen smiled but remained silent.

Mu Zixuan continued, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit inappropriate? According to seniority, Wu Yao is a generation older than Feng'er."

Lu Chen said, "They've already had physical intimacy; I was just going along with it."

This……

Mu Zixuan was completely stunned.

She hadn't expected that Lu Changfeng had been growing up right under her nose, and that she had no idea he had already had that kind of thing with Wu Yao.

Lu Chen continued, "When I was helping you gather your spiritual energy just now, I learned some things about the Eastern Palace. Feng'er is still busy with that."

Mu Zixuan was even more confused. She finally understood why Lu Chen had brought up Wu Yao's matter at this time. It turned out that he had sensed that Lu Changfeng was doing something "treasonous".

Mu Zixuan was immediately angry. That brat Lu Changfeng actually laid a hand on Wu Yao, his aunt. He really had the heart to do that.

Just as Mu Zixuan was about to say something, she suddenly thought of Lu Chen and Chu Yuqin, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She then sighed softly and said, "It is entirely up to Your Majesty."
