remained silent. Jin Luyao, unable to hold back any longer, said: "A few days ago, Zhou Ping'an, the Taipu of Xianchao, submitted his resignation to Xianchao, claiming he had other aspirations and di...Chapter 993 You're Really Good to Your Woman

"Yes."

Li Chen made no attempt to hide the truth or beat around the bush. Instead, he acknowledged it directly.

Have you heard any rumors

Palace Huiyu said, "It's news from within the sect."

Many people say that you will lose this time.

Li Chen said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "It seems like the outside world is very aware of the situation in Beijing. Have you opened any betting pools"

Gong Huiyu frowned and said, "Such a big thing, you are not worried"

"What's the use of worrying"

Stretching, Li Chen said: "Worrying any more is useless. What's destined to be lost can't be won, and what's destined to be won is hard even to lose."

"Inquirers within the sect discovered that many people had been appearing in the capital city in batches. Now, the capital has become a forbidden zone in the martial arts world. No one from any school wants to get involved, and even some wandering cultivators have fled the place."

Gong Huiyu gazed intently at Li Chen, asking, "Are you confident"

"No."

Li Chen shook his head and honestly said, "Since they have the guts to rebel, their preparation time must be longer than mine. How many trump cards they have and what their chances of winning are all unknowns to me. All I can do is meet force with force."

Gong Huiyu calmly said, "I don't understand those many······"

"You don't need to understand."

Li Chen chuckled lightly: "Just live your own life well, but if I happen to lose, you'll be free."

Gong Huiyu's expression was cold, she didn't respond to the sentence and showed no reaction.

At this moment, a voice rang out from outside.

"Your Highness."

After Zhao Rui entered the Hall of Political Affairs, she bowed to Li Chen.

Li Chen got up and leaned down to take Zhao Rui's hand, smiling and saying, "How did you come here"

Zhao Rui turned and took a bowl of green bean soup from the tray held by the palace maid. "The weather is getting hotter gradually, this mung bean can clear heat and fire. This concubine also added some ice chips. It's just the right time to be refreshing. Your Highness, please have a drink."

Li Chen took the bowl, drank most of it in one gulp, and nodded. "Hmm, it tastes pretty good."

Zhao Ruizhan smiled, saying coquettishly: "Your Highness, could you possibly finish your official business earlier today"

"Is something the matter" Li Chen asked.

Zhao Rui became increasingly sensible and well-behaved, rarely pestering Li Chen and certainly not asking to finish work early. That's why Li Chen asked this question.

Zhao Rui's pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered: "This concubine went to ask the imperial physician. He said that these few days are most suitable for this concubine to conceive."

Li Chen suddenly understood.

As his wedding date with Su Jinpa approached, Zhao Rui felt increasingly insecure.

And Zhao Rui was also very clear that among the women in the palace, if they had no children, they could never hold their heads high.

Whether she's a princess consort now or a concubine later, a woman in the imperial court is only valuable because of her children. Only having children will give her a sense of security.

But Li Chen was also puzzled.

He has never taken any measures.

It's been over a year now, and Zhao Rui hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy.

Is it Zhao Rui's problem or my own

This thought made Li Chen a little panicked.

He was thinking about when to let Zhang Hezhi have a look, and at the same time, he said to Zhao Rui: "Okay, then you go back first and prepare early."

"Hm!"

Zhao Rui responded with delight and hurried away, her skirt swirling.

As soon as Zhao Rui left, Li Chen heard a cold snort in his ear.

"Hmph, even at such a critical moment, you're still thinking about these things. You are truly good to the women around you. At such an important time, you wouldn't tell her anything and let her run wild like this."Chapter 685 Is that all
