Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Lu Chen merely smiled faintly, "Didn't you just say you were afraid something would happen to me and cut off Junwan's Celestial path?"

"Helping me is helping Junwan—and also yourself."

Seeing that Lu Chen once again brought up Wu Junwan, Li Qingrou immediately furrowed her brows.

Noticing her expression, Lu Chen said, "Why the frown? Frowning all the time will lead to wrinkles."

Li Qingrou ignored Lu Chen's remark and looked toward Wu Junwan.

Wu Junwan didn't speak the entire time; she knew very well that her dear sister would definitely step in to help Lu Chen.

Once one became Lu Chen's woman, it was impossible to remain indifferent to his affairs. That was this man's most terrifying capability.

At that moment, Wu Junwan seemed to understand what Li Qingrou was waiting for, so she took the initiative to speak to Li Qingrou, "Qingrou, if possible, I would like you to help His Majesty. By helping him, you are helping me."

Once Wu Junwan spoke, Li Qingrou then said to Lu Chen, "For Junwan's sake, I can help you this once, but just this once."

Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled; he naturally saw that Wu Junwan spoke up to give Li Qingrou an excuse to agree.

Lu Chen then wrapped an arm around Li Qingrou's slender waist, "Then I must trouble my beloved concubine."

Speaking of which, Lu Chen embraced the amply curved figures of the two women and walked towards the couch.

Li Qingrou just kept a cool face and said nothing more; once the three of them arrived at the couch, Lu Chen pushed Li Qingrou down onto it, then pressed her beneath him, looking down at her from above, his hand landing on the sash of her Phoenix Robe.

As he was about to lean down to kiss her cold, frosty cheek, Li Qingrou raised her hand and blocked Lu Chen's mouth.

"I suddenly remembered something!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't rush to continue but asked curiously, "What is it?"

Li Qingrou said, "Murong Xue'er is staying in the next room, isn't she?"

Lu Chen replied, "Yes."

Li Qingrou continued, "She was originally my maid. Since I am now your woman, naturally, she should also serve you by your side."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was startled—he instantly understood Li Qingrou's intention. Li Qingrou was trying to drag someone else into this!

Lu Chen chuckled, "I understand."

Then, Lu Chen spoke to the maid responsible for serving them, "Go call for Murong Noble Consort."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maid quickly went to the next room. At that moment, Murong Xue'er was in her bedroom writing. She was naturally aware of what was happening next door—every time Lu Chen went next door, she would sleep restlessly, her body filled with unease.

To calm herself today, she decided to practice her calligraphy, hoping to quiet her mind, striving to remain undisturbed by the couple next door.

Just as Murong Xue'er had dipped her brush and written a few characters, the maid's voice rose at the door, "Noble Consort, His Majesty has asked you to attend to Noble Consort Wu's chambers."

Upon hearing the maid's words, Murong Xue'er was taken aback, her jade arm suspended mid-air.

She knew all too well who was next door; with two women already there, and yet they wanted her to join them?

It wasn't long before Murong Xue'er guessed what was happening—it must have been Li Qingrou's idea!

Li Qingrou, as the former Yue Emperor of the Moon, certainly felt that having her subordinate eavesdrop next door each time was embarrassing, so she decided to catch her and have her accompany Lu Chen.

Murong Xue'er was still very afraid of Li Qingrou. After all, following the annihilation of the Murong family, she had grown up in the Imperial Palace and spent a great deal of time with Li Qingrou, who had taught her many things.

The psychological fear she harbored toward Li Qingrou couldn't be eradicated overnight, even though they were both women of Lu Chen now. Murong Xue'er still didn't dare to rely on this identity to show any disrespect toward Li Qingrou.

Snapping out of it, Murong Xue'er let out a slight sigh, then placed her writing brush on the inkstone before heading towards the door, "I'm coming now."

Soon, Murong Xue'er arrived at the neighboring room. Just as she entered, she saw Lu Chen tidying up Li Qingrou.

Li Qingrou seemed to notice Murong Xue'er's entry, suddenly turning her head to look at Murong Xue'er by the door. Her face, which had been full of seductive charm, now had an added touch of indifference, "Come here!"

At Li Qingrou's command, Murong Xue'er's body subconsciously moved, quickly approaching the couch.

"Strip!"

Li Qingrou issued another command in a commanding tone for Murong Xue'er to take off all her clothes, and Murong Xue'er had no choice but to obey.

Moments later, Li Qingrou abruptly realized that the curse pattern she had left on Murong Xue'er's body still existed.

Wait a minute...

That curse pattern seems not to be a real one?

Murong Xue'er had served in Yan County and returned to the Great Jue, while Li Qingrou had also inspected the curse pattern on Murong Xue'er's body once before.

At that time, she hadn't checked thoroughly and wasn't a Celestial yet, so she didn't notice that the curse pattern was merely drawn on.

However, now that she was a Celestial, she only needed to glance to realize that the curse pattern no longer had any effect; it was just a design.

At that moment, Li Qingrou pushed against Lu Chen's chest and then said, "Let her serve you first."

Lu Chen smiled faintly, this woman was truly domineering. Look how frightened Murong Xue'er was, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Lu Chen then slowly rose and said to Murong Xue'er beside the couch with a smile, "Xue'er, don't be afraid, come here, I'm with you, she wouldn't dare do anything to you."

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er's courage grew, and she then laid down beside Lu Chen, who promptly rolled over to capture Murong Xue'er's red lips with his.

Before long, Li Qingrou understood why Lu Chen had once said that the curse pattern on Murong Xue'er's body actually worked in his favor. Although the curse pattern's original effect was gone, it could still be of some practical use.

The next morning dawned.

When Lu Chen awoke, Li Qingrou and Wu Junwan were sleeping on either side of him, while Murong Xue'er was lying on his chest.

Lu Chen's lips curved slightly upwards. He was becoming increasingly decadent, no wonder Emperors liked power so much, the feeling was truly marvelous.

Just then, Bai Qingqing's voice sounded from the door, "Your Majesty, Commander Liang is seeking an audience, regarding that matter."

As Bai Qingqing's voice rang out, the young lady also opened her eyes. Murong Xue'er quickly supported herself with her hands on the soft couch, attempting to rise.

However, as soon as she moved, she felt a strange weakness and once more collapsed powerless into Lu Chen's embrace.

Lu Chen raised his hand to caress Murong Xue'er's jade back, smiling as he said, "What are you rushing for, I haven't even moved yet.

Having said this, Lu Chen then spoke to Bai Qingqing at the door, "Let him wait for me in the Imperial Study Room, I'll come after taking a bath."
