Chapter 2138
Looking for someone? Looking for whom?
Upon hearing the maid's words, Pei Shuhua was slightly taken aback, but she quickly realized who had delivered the letter to her.
Then she asked, "Where is the letter?"
At this moment, the maid took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Pei Shuhua.
After Pei Shuhua took the letter, she opened it and glanced at its contents. Sure enough, it was just as she had expected.
This letter was sent by Chen Min, who has now fled to the Great Yan Dynasty.
Upon hearing that she was still doing well in the palace, Chen Min encouraged her in a letter to seduce Lu Chen.
Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Pei Shuhua sneered and then tore the letter into pieces.
Chen Min is still not giving up. She has already failed, and she still wants to order me around?
Just then, a figure that hadn't been seen for a long time appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
Pei Shuhua was slightly taken aback when she saw Lu Chen's figure.
She had just received Chen Min's letter when Lu Chen arrived.
Could it be that this guy knew someone was delivering a letter to her, so he came all the way here to find her?
Lu Chen walked straight to the crib, naturally wrapped his arms around Pei Shuhua's slender waist from behind, and rested his head on her fragrant shoulder, saying, "My wife, have you missed me lately?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua said coldly, "I thought you had disowned your daughter."
Lu Chen laughed and said, "How could that be? I've just been a bit busy lately, so I haven't had time to come see you."
Pei Shuhua said, "Really? You don't mean you're busy getting other women pregnant, do you?"
Lu Chen whispered in her ear, "Is my wife jealous?"
Pei Shuhua ignored Lu Chen.
At this moment, Pei Shuhua remembered the letter from earlier, so she took the initiative to say, "Chen Min sent me a letter. She wants me to seduce you and help Qionghua Holy Land obtain the ancient inheritance."
Pei Shuhua wasn't sure if Lu Chen knew she had received Chen Min's letter, so she decided to tell Lu Chen herself.
If Lu Chen finds out about this but she doesn't tell him, he'll definitely suspect that she's secretly colluding with Chen Min.
She didn't want Lu Chen to misunderstand.
Of course, this was not because she had completely submitted to Lu Chen. She did this simply because she was pragmatic. Before the restrictions were lifted, she had no choice but to compromise if she wanted to live.
Seeing that Pei Shuhua had told him about this, Lu Chen asked, "Is it really okay for you to betray your fellow disciples like this?"
Pei Shuhua said calmly, "This doesn't count as betrayal. Anyway, you should already know about this."
Lu Chen continued, "So what are you planning to do? Are you going to listen to her and then seduce me?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Pei Shuhua coldly replied, "I already have your child, why would I need to seduce you?"
If the honey trap really worked, Lu Chen would have listened to her long ago and given her the ancient inheritance.
She even has a child now, but Lu Chen still doesn't listen to her.
A guy like Lu Chen, whose mind is always on procreation, would never be devoted to any woman. Seduction is useless against him, and for her to seduce Lu Chen would only be to humiliate herself.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "So what if you have a child? You can still seduce someone with a child. Maybe one day you'll be so infatuated with me that I'll go into the ancient ruins and bring out the ancient inheritance for you."
Pei Shuhua said, "The ancient inheritance has long been in your hands, hasn't it?"
Pei Shuhua had some knowledge of the battle in Anhe County.
She had heard that the foreign forces had set up a very strong formation, but it was easily broken by a strangely shaped lump of earth that Lu Chen had taken out.
Although she wasn't present, based on the information gathered by her people, it can be basically determined that the formation is the Blood Refining Sealing Formation of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a formation that can be used to seal Heavenly Realm experts.
Lu Chen's ability to easily break the formation proves that he possesses a powerful magical artifact. Pei Shuhua suspects that the artifact was obtained from the ancient ruins.
If Lu Chen can even find such a magical treasure, it proves that the ancient inheritance has likely fallen into Lu Chen's hands.
Hearing Pei Shuhua's question, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I have no interest in that ancient inheritance. How could you think I took it?"
Seeing that Lu Chen denied it, Pei Shuhua didn't ask any further questions.
She didn't believe that anyone in the world would have no interest in the inheritance of ancient powerful beings, unless Lu Chen had an even more powerful force behind him.
But Lu Chen looks like a native of the borderlands. Even if he is from the Central Plains, it is impossible for him not to be interested in the ancient ruins left behind by a powerful being.
This guy is just saying he's not interested; he's just saying it.
Just then, a female guard entered the courtyard and came to Lu Chen, saying, "Lord Lu, His Majesty would like to invite you to the Imperial Study. She has something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen asked, "What is it?"
The guard replied, "This servant does not know."
Lu Chen nestled against Pei Shuhua's neck, inhaling deeply the milky scent, before releasing her and saying, "I understand, I'll go right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen followed the maid to Ji Yunmeng's study.
At this moment, Ji Yunmeng sat at her desk, looking at the memorial in her hand with a serious expression.
After entering the imperial study, Lu Chen asked directly, "What important matter does Your Majesty wish to discuss with me? Is it because you haven't seen me for a month and miss me?"
Ji Yunmeng ignored Lu Chen's words and said directly, "Some people from the Great Yan Dynasty are disguised as a merchant caravan and want to sneak into the capital to find someone."
Hearing this, Lu Chen asked curiously, "Looking for someone? Looking for whom?"
Ji Yunmeng said, "Empress Wu Yunwan of the Great Yan Dynasty."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.
Wu Junwan...
He remembered that people from the Great Yan Dynasty had participated in the last event in Anhe County, but he did not see Wu Junwan.
He still thought Wu Yunwan hadn't come to Da Zhou.
Why are people from the Great Yan Dynasty coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty to look for their Empress?
Lu Chen asked, "She shouldn't have come to Da Zhou, right? I didn't see her in Anhe County last time."
Ji Yunmeng replied, "According to the intelligence I have received, Wu Yunwan has already infiltrated the capital. She has been hiding somewhere in the capital, but we just don't know it."
Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly. Hiding in the capital?
That's interesting. If I can find her, I'll be busy again.
After regaining his senses, Lu Chen asked, "Did you find out from those people where Wu Yunwan is hiding? I'll go and catch her myself."
Ji Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen with suspicion. This guy had been staying at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion every day, oblivious to everything else. Now he suddenly wanted to do things for her. Was he really that kind?
Ji Yunmeng quickly realized that this guy probably had designs on Wu Yunwan, after all, she was the Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Based on her understanding of him, this scoundrel most enjoyed having women of noble status like empresses under his control, thus satisfying his desire for conquest.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunmeng's face darkened.
However, she didn't really care about it.
This Empress of Great Yan is also from outside the realm. She has a special identity and is hiding in the capital of Great Zhou. It is unknown what she is up to.
If left unchecked, she might suddenly turn against the Great Zhou in the future, bringing immense disaster to the Great Zhou.
Since Lu Chen wants her so badly, then let Lu Chen go find her. (End of Chapter)
