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

Lu Chen said with a smile, "It's nothing serious."

As he spoke, Lu Chen climbed onto the bed, and Wu Junwan hurriedly moved aside, but as soon as she shifted, Lu Chen flipped her over and pressed her down.

Wu Junwan glared at Lu Chen and then said, "It's so late, you can't possibly still want to—"

Lu Chen didn't say a word and simply tore off Wu Junwan's inner garment, then bent down to kiss her red lips, and soon they regained their former state.

However, at this moment, Lu Chen didn't continue; he turned Wu Junwan over and pressed against her back, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and said, "What's so good about the throne that people are scrambling for it."

"Rising earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs, and so many issues to deal with."

Hearing this, Wu Junwan, pressed underneath him, scoffed coldly, "Prince, you joke well, seeing as you are a tyrant with power in his hands, yet you question what's so good about the throne."

Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, "Honestly, I really don't think being Emperor is comfortable, especially now, where the emperors of the major dynasties are constrained by aristocratic families or nobility—it's stifling."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Junwan said, "If you, Prince, find ruling to be too troublesome, you might as well hand over your seigniory to me, and let me help you manage the entire North Country."

Lu Chen chuckled and then whispered in her ear, "Why, are you thinking of usurping power now?"

"I could give you that opportunity. Just defeat me now, and I'll hand over my princehood to you."

Wu Junwan snorted coldly.

Then, the two of them maintained this position and fell silent.

This gave Lu Chen the feeling of constantly possessing Wu Junwan, so he quite liked holding her like this.

Having spent some time together, Wu Junwan had grown accustomed to it; after all, nearly every night, they ended up sleeping in each other's embrace like this.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After a while, Wu Junwan finally asked, "Something must have happened in the Great Sum Capital, right?"

"How did you know?"

Wu Junwan said indifferently, "It's so late, and you are still going out; it must be something important. The Great Sum Capital has been uneasy of late, combined with the numerous cases of Martial Artists disappearing, it really looks like a storm is brewing. And just now, you also mentioned the throne to me—so I presume it's likely that a Prince in the Capital has rebelled."

Lu Chen said, "Indeed, a Prince has rebelled, but it's not an ordinary Prince, it's the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Wu Junwan chuckled, "Your father, the Sum Emperor, is really something. He just pushed Prince Lu Shuyun to rebel not long ago, and now he's driven his eldest son to do the same; is he planning on eliminating all Princes and becoming a solitary figure?"

Lu Chen said, "Has there ever been an Emperor who isn't a solitary figure?"

Wu Junwan continued to probe, "What was the outcome? Did the Crown Prince fail?"

Lu Chen confirmed, "He indeed failed."

Wu Junwan said, "So, the Sum Emperor's supposed dire illness was all a pretense?"

"If he really were gravely ill, he wouldn't be able to maintain such strong control over the military and the royal experts. If he were nearing death, I reckon many Grandmasters in the royal family would have already chosen to side with Lu Yi, and Lu Yi wouldn't have been defeated so quickly."

Lu Chen said, "I also suspect he's feigning illness and scheming something."

Wu Junwan said, "No wonder the various Seigniors within Great Sum have been fighting fiercely, yet you have remained inactive in the North Country. It turns out you had long guessed your father was fine."

Lu Chen responded with a smile, "I haven't taken action for the moment, not because of that. Mainly, I want to wait until my two children are born before I make any moves."

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Wu Junwan didn't believe it for a second. Waiting for the kids to be born? What kind of reason was that?

Could the birth of his children bring him any good fortune?

At this time, Lu Chen slightly shifted his body and then said, "How about you give me one too?"

After a soft moan, Wu Junwan coldly responded, "You wish."

"To have me bear you a child, you'd better see if you are capable enough."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Do you still doubt whether I am capable? I'm not just capable—I've got major skills."

Wu Junwan ignored Lu Chen's words and remained silent.

After a bit, Wu Junwan asked, "When do you plan to attack Great Jue?"

Lu Chen paused, "Why do you ask this question?"

Explore new worlds at empire

Wu Junwan bluntly said, "I need to let my dear sister know in advance so she can prepare herself."

Lu Chen, with his head on her shoulder, said, "You are now my woman. Shouldn't you be on North Country's side? Why are you still thinking of sending word to the Yue Emperor?"

Wu Junwan said lightly, "I'm afraid that if Great Jue falls to you one day, Qingrou would end up in the same predicament as me."

Lu Chen said, "Wouldn't that be good? That way, you two sisters could reunite, and from then on, spend your lives together with no need to live in separate dynasties, only meeting once every few years."

Wu Junwan said coldly, "I knew you had this in mind!"

"But even if you really defeat the Da Yue Dynasty, she would never become your woman."

Lu Chen asked, "Why not?"

Wu Junwan said, "She's not like me; she follows the Unfeeling Tao and cannot develop feelings for men."
