Chapter 2099
I believe our child will definitely be outstanding.
Seeing that Chu Qingli had fallen into a long silence again, not saying a word for a long time.
Lu Chen gently blew a warm breath into her ear, then whispered in a devilish voice, "Palace Master Chu, I believe our child will be exceptionally outstanding."
Chu Qingli clenched her fist, but in the end, her jade-like fist slowly relaxed.
She then said to Lu Chen, "Three months is too short. Even if I do nothing, I might not be able to get pregnant."
It wasn't that she wanted to continue her underhanded tactics, but she had already reached the late stage of the Earth Realm. At this level, the spiritual energy within her body was extremely concentrated, making it very difficult for her body to nurture life. The seed of life simply couldn't survive in her body.
Lu Chen said, "Three months is not a short time. I believe you can get pregnant."
Seeing that Lu Chen wouldn't budge, Chu Qingli had no choice but to agree, saying, "Okay, I promise you. I hope you won't go back on your word."
Seeing that Chu Qingli agreed, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Alright, let's continue then, let's not waste any time."
After saying that, Lu Chen continued with his work.
Chu Qingli gritted her teeth, trying hard to control her anger.
One day, one day she will repay this man a thousandfold for the humiliation he has inflicted upon her.
So what if you have children?
She could spare her own child, but she had to torture this man mercilessly, otherwise she wouldn't be able to quell the hatred in her heart.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Lu Chen spent most of his time in Chu Qingli's room, after all, he had signed a betting agreement with Chu Qingli.
Chu Qingli felt that the past month had been a blur. Every day, the first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to do things with Lu Chen, and then she would be so exhausted that she would fall asleep. After waking up, she would eat something and then continue to make love with Lu Chen.
She tried her best to get pregnant with Lu Chen's child, but unfortunately, even after a month, and without doing anything, her belly still showed no signs of pregnancy.
It's really not her fault. That's just how the world works. The more powerful a spiritual warrior is, the harder it is for them to have offspring.
Over the past month, many foreign forces have come to visit Lu Chen with gifts, hoping to see him, but Lu Chen has refused them all.
This greatly displeased those foreign forces.
In their eyes, no matter how powerful the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was in the borderlands, it was nothing more than a local tribe, yet it dared to refuse them, a force from the Central Plains.
Although they were unhappy, they couldn't do anything about the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. After all, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had a Heaven Realm expert in charge, while their strongest was only at the late Earth Realm stage.
Chen Min also visited the Zhennan Prince's Mansion many times, but she suffered the same fate as other foreign forces, being turned away.
She strongly suspected that Tianxuan Palace had spoken ill of their Qionghua Holy Land to the Prince of Zhennan, which was why the Prince of Zhennan's mansion refused to see her. This was not a good thing for their Qionghua Holy Land.
If things continue like this, and the Heavenly Realm expert from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion helps the Tianxuan Palace after the ruins are revealed, then the inheritance within the ancient ruins will belong to the Tianxuan Holy Land.
After much thought, Chen Min came up with a plan: he would have Pei Shuhua issue an imperial edict, and then he would follow the eunuch who delivered the edict into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty can no longer control the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, it is still within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the Zhennan Prince's Mansion does not openly rebel, it must outwardly accept the imperial decree.
Soon, Pei Shuhua issued an imperial edict to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in the name of the imperial court.
However, the imperial edict did not instruct the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to do anything. Instead, it rewarded the Zhennan Prince's Mansion with some items on the grounds that the mansion had suppressed those few evil kings.
Two figures were entangled in the room, Lu Chen's mouth constantly stamping its mark on the beautiful flesh.
Just then, a maid's voice came from the doorway: "Young Master, there is an imperial edict from the court." Hearing the maid's words, Lu Chen, who was in the middle of his excitement, paused for a moment.
Imperial edict? What imperial edict?
He didn't believe that the Great Zhou royal family hadn't grasped the situation.
Although the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has never publicly stated that it has a Heavenly Realm expert, all the forces in the borderlands have already guessed that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion may have a Heavenly Realm expert, and therefore dare not provoke the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Now, the Great Zhou Dynasty has actually issued an imperial edict to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.
He wanted to see what imperial edict Pei Shuhua had issued to the Prince of Zhennan's residence.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen quickly finished his business, then slowly got up and left Chu Qingli alone in the room. He then dressed and went to the reception hall of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
In the main reception hall, Chen Min held the imperial edict and waited for Lu Chen's arrival.
Soon she saw a young man dressed in white appear at the entrance of the main hall.
Lu Chen glanced at Chen Min, and for some reason, he felt that the woman in front of him was very dangerous.
Her eyes were long and narrow, giving people the impression that she was extremely sinister and ruthless.
Upon seeing Lu Chen, Chen Min immediately opened the imperial edict and read aloud: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Prince of Zhennan has suppressed the Demon King, thus removing a scourge from the Great Zhou..."
Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Lu Chen realized that it was an edict of reward.
He thought Pei Shuhua was out of touch with reality and was planning to have the Zhennan Prince's Mansion do something.
It seems that Pei Shuhua is not stupid. She probably realized that the Zhou Dynasty royal family was no match for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, so she wanted to ease relations with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to prevent it from rebelling and overthrowing the Ji family's rule.
After Chen Min finished reading the imperial edict, she took it and came to Lu Chen, revealing what she thought was a kind smile, and said, "Young Master Lu, please accept the edict. His Majesty's reward is at the gate of the Prince's Mansion."
Lu Chen snapped out of his daze and, without any hesitation, took the imperial edict directly from Chen Min's hand.
He then calmly said to Chen Min, "I hope that after you return to the capital, you will convey our Zhennan Prince's Mansion's gratitude for His Majesty's reward."
Chen Min said, "Yes, Prince Lu."
At this point, Chen Min continued, "By the way, Prince Lu, besides reading the imperial edict, I have another matter to discuss today. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to hear it?"
Actually, without Chen Min saying anything, Lu Chen had already guessed what his purpose was in coming to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, because Lu Chen had already seen Chen Min's personal information.
According to Chen Min's information, she is a disciple of Qionghua Holy Land.
Not long ago, the Qionghua Holy Land joined forces with the Great Zhou Dynasty to besiege Tianxuan Palace.
The disciples of Qionghua Holy Land have come knocking on our door, either to cooperate with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion or to demand that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion hand over the people from Tianxuan Palace.
However, Qionghua Holy Land knows that Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a Heaven Realm expert, so it is unlikely that they would dare to ask Zhennan Prince's Mansion to hand over the people of Tianxuan Palace.
Therefore, Chen Min's visit to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had only one purpose: to win over the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, just like the spies from the foreign forces in Guangling City.
So this imperial edict was just a pretext, an excuse to get Chen Min into the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.
Even though he guessed why Chen Min had come to the Prince of Zhennan's mansion, Lu Chen didn't immediately send her away. Instead, he pretended to know nothing and asked, "Is there anything else, sir?" (End of Chapter)
