Chapter 2109
What has the Empress Dowager decided?
Pei Shuhua had already realized that if Lu Chen really wanted revenge for Tianxuan Palace and wanted her dead, then Lu Chen could just have that Heavenly Realm expert take action; there was no need for him to waste words with her here.
Since Lu Chen was willing to talk nonsense with him, it meant that Lu Chen did not intend to kill him immediately, so there was still room for negotiation.
However, she already had a guess in her heart what Lu Chen was going to do next, and the thought of being defiled by the natives of the borderlands made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Could it be that she's really going to do something like that just to survive?
While her innocence is not important, her reputation is still very important to her.
If Lu Chen were from Zhongzhou, it wouldn't matter, but the problem is that Lu Chen is a native of the borderlands, and the Zhongzhou forces have always looked down on the natives of the borderlands.
Lu Chen then said, "Your Majesty is indeed asking a question you already know the answer to. Now that things have come to this, does Your Majesty not know what I want to do?"
Seeing Lu Chen's murderous eyes, Pei Shuhua fell silent once again.
Seeing that Pei Shuhua remained silent, Lu Chen continued, "You don't have much time left to make a decision."
Pei Shuhua came to her senses and then asked, "Did the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace also do that kind of thing with you?"
Lu Chen admitted, "You guessed right, the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace not only became my woman, but also got pregnant with my child."
"This……"
Pei Shuhua's emotions were somewhat complicated. She hadn't expected that the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace would go to such lengths for the ancient inheritance, not only handing over her body to the border natives to play with, but also bearing their children.
If these things were to get back to Zhongzhou, she probably wouldn't be able to stay in the Tianxuan Holy Land any longer.
At this moment, Lu Chen asked, "What has the Empress Dowager decided? My patience is limited."
Pei Shuhua then asked, "If I become your woman, will you help the Qionghua Holy Land obtain the ancient inheritance?"
Lu Chen then said with a smile, "The Empress Dowager seems to be unaware of the situation yet. You have no right to negotiate with me right now."
Pei Shuhua's heart tightened, and her jade-like hand, which was being held down by Lu Chen, clenched into a fist slightly.
Indeed, she is now a prisoner, and whether she can live is a question. At this point, she has no right to bargain with the other party.
Pei Shuhua then said, "Things have come to this point, so Prince Lu can do whatever he wants. Why should he ask me?"
She could sense that Lu Chen's strength far surpassed her own; otherwise, she wouldn't be unable to move.
Even without that Heavenly Realm, she wouldn't be a match for Lu Chen.
The moment Lu Chen entered the palace, her loss of virginity was already destined. This guy wanted to possess her body, so why would he need to ask her opinion?
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Since the Empress Dowager has said so, then I won't stand on ceremony."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen directly captured the beautiful woman's fragrant lips, and then his large hands roamed over her voluptuous body.
The moment Pei Shuhua's lips touched Lu Chen's, she felt an electric shock. A familiar feeling surged into her heart, as if she had done these things with Lu Chen long ago, but she had forgotten.
It was this familiar feeling that made her unable to control herself for a moment, and her inner desires were instantly aroused.
Pei Shuhua was a little confused. She couldn't help but wonder if she had been poisoned by some kind of love potion, otherwise why would she suddenly become so restless?
Before she could even react, she noticed that Lu Chen's hands were becoming increasingly restless, and soon the two were completely naked.
"Well!"
……
Northern Wilderness.
In the barbarian royal court, inside the barbarian king's tent, a beautiful woman dressed in a light purple gauze robe reclines languidly on a soft couch covered with white tiger skin.
At this moment, a barbarian soldier entered the royal tent, knelt on the ground, and said, "My lord, a woman claiming to be from the Qionghua Holy Land has come to visit." Upon hearing this, Yelü Nanyan frowned slightly. What was someone from the Qionghua Holy Land doing coming to the barbarian wilderness to find her?
Since taking control of the Northern Wilderness, she has stayed there and has never been to the Great Zhou, nor has she ever thought of taking control of the Great Zhou Emperor.
To her, the Great Zhou Emperor was merely a key to unlock the ancient ruins. Once the ruins were opened, they could also sneak in. Therefore, it didn't matter who held the key. This was why she didn't allow the barbarians to continue harassing the Great Zhou.
Yelü Nanyan thought for a moment, but still had no clue, so she directly said to the barbarian soldier who had brought the message, "Bring the person in."
The barbarian soldier immediately stood up and said, "Yes, sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, the barbarian soldier left the royal tent.
Soon, he led a woman dressed in blue into the royal tent.
Yelü Nanyan glanced at Chen Min, then asked, "I wonder what kind of power Qionghua Holy Land is? I've never heard of it before?"
Yelü Nanyan pretended to know nothing, trying to make the other party think that she was a barbarian.
But Chen Min directly exposed him, saying, "You don't need to pretend anymore. If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Zhongzhou Tianlang Palace."
Although Yelü Nanyan wanted to pretend to be a native of the borderlands, Chen Min was no fool.
If Yelü Nanyan were truly a native of the borderlands, then it would be impossible for her to unify the entire Northern Wilderness in such a short time. How could a weak woman possess such strength?
Clearly, the woman in front of them was also from Zhongzhou.
Seeing that Chen Min had exposed her identity, Yelü Nanyan simply stopped pretending and said directly, "Since you have already seen through my identity, then I will no longer hide it. I am indeed from the Tianlang Palace."
At this point, Yelü Nanyan asked directly, "Now can you tell me why you came to see me?"
Chen Min said, "You must have heard about the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, right?"
Yelü Nanyan countered, "Are you referring to the matter of the Prince of Zhennan's journey to the capital?"
Chen Min said, "I was referring to the fact that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a Heavenly Realm."
Yelü Nanyan said, "Of course I know, but what does that have to do with you coming to see me today?"
Chen Min said, "Now that Tianxuan Palace has joined forces with Zhennan Prince's Mansion, once the ancient ruins appear, with the help of Zhennan Prince's Mansion's Heavenly Realm, the ancient inheritance will surely fall into Tianxuan Holy Land."
"Your Sirius Palace spent a great deal of money to send you to the borderlands, but you didn't get any benefits in return. I'm sure you're not happy about that, are you?"
Upon hearing Chen Min's words, Yelü Nanyan realized what Chen Min had come to see her for.
Yelü Nanyan sat up straight and said, "So what if you're not willing? The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a Heavenly Realm. You should understand what a Heavenly Realm represents in the borderlands."
"We outsiders are restricted by the rules of this world, making it difficult for us to break through to the Celestial Realm."
“In the borderlands, the Heavenly Realm is the absolute ruler. Unless the restrictions on the borderlands are lifted, we cannot be a match for the Heavenly Realm.”
When Yelü Nanyan learned that Tianxuan Palace had the assistance of the Heavenly Realm, she had already prepared herself for the mission to fail.
Seeing that Yelü Nanyan was somewhat discouraged, Chen Min immediately said, "What if all the forces in our Central Plains unite to deal with that Heavenly Realm of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
"No matter how strong he is, he is just a native of the borderlands."
"I believe that the Central Plains forces that are able to enter the borderlands all have one or two trump cards up their sleeves."
"If we join forces, even if we can't kill that Heavenly Realm expert, we can at least temporarily seal him away. By the time he breaks free of the seal, the restrictions on the borderlands might already be gone." (End of Chapter)
