Chapter 2448 - 2138: Looking for Someone? Who?

Upon hearing the maid’s words, Pei Shuhua was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized who had sent her the letter.

She immediately asked, "Where is the letter?"

The maid then took a letter out of her sleeve and handed it to Pei Shuhua.

After Pei Shuhua accepted the letter, she opened it and glanced at its contents, confirming that it was as she had thought.

This letter was sent by Chen Min, who had now fled to the Great Yan Dynasty.

Chen Min, hearing that she was still living well in the Imperial Palace, incited her in the letter to seduce Lu Chen.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Pei Shuhua let out a cold laugh, then tore the letter into shreds.

Chen Min was still not giving up; she had failed but still wanted to command her to act?

Just then, a figure long unseen appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

Upon seeing the figure of Lu Chen, Pei Shuhua was slightly startled.

She had just received Chen Min’s letter, and Lu Chen had come.

Could this guy have known someone sent her the letter, so he purposely came to find her?

Lu Chen walked straight to the cradle, naturally wrapping his arm around Pei Shuhua’s slender waist from behind and resting his head on her fragrant shoulder, saying, "Dear wife, have you missed me recently?"

Hearing this, Pei Shuhua replied coldly, "I thought you had disowned your daughter."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "How could that be? I’ve just been a bit busy recently, so I haven’t had time to come to see you."

Pei Shuhua said, "Is that so? This busyness you’re referring to isn’t about getting other women pregnant, is it?"

Lu Chen whispered softly into her ear, "Are you jealous, my dear?"

Pei Shuhua was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Chen.

At this moment, Pei Shuhua thought of the letter just now and proactively said, "Chen Min had someone send me a letter, she wants me to seduce you to help Qionghua Holy Land obtain the Ancient Inheritance."

Pei Shuhua was unsure if Lu Chen knew that she had received Chen Min’s letter, so she decided to proactively tell Lu Chen.

In case Lu Chen knew about it but she didn’t inform him, Lu Chen would surely suspect if she was secretly colluding with Chen Min.

She didn’t want Lu Chen to misunderstand.

Of course, this wasn’t because she had completely surrendered to Lu Chen; she was only doing this because she was being prudent. As long as the restriction hadn’t disappeared, she could only swallow her grievances to stay alive.

Seeing Pei Shuhua was even informing him of such things, Lu Chen asked, "Is it really okay for you to betray your fellow sect members like this?"

Pei Shuhua calmly replied, "I don’t consider this a betrayal, anyway, you should already know about this."

Lu Chen continued, "So, what do you plan to do? Are you going to follow her and seduce me next?"

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Pei Shuhua replied coldly, "I already have your child, do I still need to seduce you?"

If the beauty trap really worked, Lu Chen would have already listened to her and given her the Ancient Inheritance.

Even now with a child, Lu Chen doesn’t listen to her.

Someone like Lu Chen, who’s constantly thinking about multiplying offspring, can’t be completely devoted to any one woman, and the seductive plan has no effect on him. Asking her to seduce Lu Chen would just be humiliating herself.

Lu Chen, with a smile on his face, said, "So what if you have a child? You can still seduce me, perhaps one day you will enchant me so much that I will enter the Ancient Ruins, bring out the Ancient Inheritance for you."

Pei Shuhua said, "The Ancient Inheritance is already in your hands, isn’t it?"

She had some knowledge of the battle in Anhe County.

She heard that at that time, those Outer Domain forces had arranged a very powerful formation, but it was easily broken by a peculiar lump of earth that Lu Chen took out.

Although she wasn’t present, based on the information her people gathered, she could basically determine that the formation was the Blood Refining Seal Array of the Sky Demon Sect, a formation capable of sealing a Heavenly Realm strong person.

Lu Chen’s ability to easily break that formation indicated that he had a very powerful magic treasure in his hands.

Pei Shuhua suspected that this magic treasure was obtained from the Ancient Ruins.

Since Lu Chen could find such a magic treasure, it suggests that the Ancient Inheritance might already be in Lu Chen’s hands.

Hearing Pei Shuhua’s question, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Didn’t I tell you? I’m not interested in that Ancient Inheritance, why do you think I took the Ancient Inheritance?"

Seeing Lu Chen not admitting it, Pei Shuhua didn’t ask further.

She couldn’t believe anyone in this world wouldn’t be interested in the inheritance of an Ancient Great Power unless Lu Chen had a more powerful backing.

But Lu Chen seemed to be just a Border Desolate Native, even if he were from Central State, he couldn’t be uninterested in the Ancient Ruins left by a Great Power.

This guy was just saying he’s not interested with words.

At this moment, a female guard entered the courtyard and came to Lu Chen, saying, "Lord Lu, Your Majesty would like to see you in the Imperial Study Room, she has something to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked, "What’s the matter?"

The guard said, "This servant does not know."

Lu Chen leaned on Pei Shuhua’s neck, taking a deep breath of her milky fragrance, then released Pei Shuhua and said, "I understand, I’ll go now."

With those words, Lu Chen followed the maid to Ji Yunmeng’s study.

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng was sitting at her desk, looking seriously at the memorial in her hand.

After entering the Imperial Study Room, Lu Chen directly asked, "Your Majesty, what’s the urgent matter you have for me? Could it be that you missed me a bit after not seeing me for a month?"

Ji Yunmeng ignored Lu Chen’s words and directly said, "There are people from the Great Yan Dynasty disguised as a caravan trying to sneak into the Capital city to find someone."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked curiously, "Find someone? Who are they looking for?"

Ji Yunmeng said, "The Great Yan Empress Wu Junwan."

Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback.

Wu Junwan...

He remembered that last time, there were people from the Great Yan Dynasty at Anhe County, but he hadn’t seen Wu Junwan.

He had thought Wu Junwan didn’t come to Dazhou.

Why are people from the Great Yan Dynasty coming to Dazhou looking for their Empress?

Lu Chen asked, "She shouldn’t have come to Dazhou, right? I didn’t see her at Anhe County last time."

Ji Yunmeng replied, "According to the information I received, Wu Junwan has already infiltrated the Capital city, she has been hiding somewhere in the Capital city, but we don’t know where."

Lu Chen’s lips curled slightly, hiding in the Capital city?

This is getting interesting, if he could find her, he would have something to keep him busy with.

Coming to his senses, Lu Chen asked, "Did you get any information from those people about where Wu Junwan is hiding? I will personally go to capture her."

Ji Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen with suspicion, this guy had been staying at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, not concerning himself with anything outside the window, and now suddenly offering to help her, is he so kind-hearted?

Ji Yunmeng quickly realized that this guy probably had thoughts about Wu Junwan, after all, she was the Great Yan Empress.

With her understanding of him, this scoundrel loved to subdue women of such noble status, fulfilling his desire for conquest.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunmeng’s expression darkened.

However, she wasn’t too concerned about it.

This Great Yan Empress herself was a person from the Outer Domain with a special identity and is hiding in the Great Zhou Capital, who’s to say what she is plotting.

If left unchecked, she could pose a massive threat to Dazhou in the future.

Since Lu Chen was so eager to catch her, she might as well let Lu Chen find her.
