Hearing this, Li Mengdie, hidden in the wardrobe, couldn't help but clench her fist.
She gritted her teeth, thinking that Chu Chen was indeed not a good person, and hadn't been thinking of her from the start.
Men were indeed faithless. Even after obtaining a woman's body, a woman's mind remained rational.
Li Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't care how you plan to suppress her, but what she wants is power. How will you give that to her?"
Chu Chen smiled and said, "That's easy. Didn't I already say it? Let the second princess accompany me on campaigns abroad, and she won't have the mind to rebel."
"When we conquer lands outside, we will definitely need to appoint our own people to guard them."
"Princess, what kind of person do you think is considered one of our own?"
Li Xinyue pondered for a moment, her eyes lighting up.
"I understand. You mean to send the second sister?"
Chu Chen nodded and smiled, "That's right, sending the second princess is the most suitable."
"The second princess will surely have prestige then, and she is someone we can trust. The only obstacle now is His Majesty."
"If His Majesty can agree to this, I believe this matter can be accomplished."
Li Xinyue's face then broke into a smile.
"This is actually very simple. I know Mother Empress. Although she speaks sternly to us, in reality, she won't lay a finger on us."
Chu Chen looked astonished. "Princess, are you joking?"
Li Xinyue shook her head. "Chu Chen, I know you don't believe me, but I can tell you it's true."
"Especially after the second sister's rebellion last time, when you defeated her and she escaped, Mother Empress's reaction was very obvious."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but recall His Majesty's changes in his mind, but he couldn't discern anything different.
"Princess, what you're saying seems a bit too profound. I can't quite grasp it."
Li Xinyue gave a strange smile. "It's fine if you don't understand. You don't need to understand such things."
"However, after fighting for so long today, and even sleeping just now, you should have recovered a bit, right?"
Saying this, Li Xinyue sat down beside Chu Chen, her smile becoming more pronounced.
Chu Chen immediately felt something was amiss and quickly moved to the side.
"Princess, what do you want to do?"
Li Xinyue chuckled and reached out to poke Chu Chen. "What do you think I want to do? I feel like there's something unclear going on between you and Li Mengdie?"
Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he outwardly showed nothing.
Why would Li Xinyue suddenly say something like that? Did women's sixth sense, or intuition, also work here?
Chu Chen said with a wry smile, "Princess, what are you talking about? How could there be such a relationship between Li Mengdie and me?"
"Li Mengdie probably hates me to death right now. How could the two of us get together? It's impossible."
Li Xinyue frowned upon hearing this, feeling that Chu Chen's expression didn't seem fake. Her heart began to waver slightly.
Seeing that Li Xinyue was still pondering this matter, Chu Chen knew he couldn't let her delve deeper, or else who knew what major issues she might uncover.
Suddenly, Chu Chen seized the opportunity and pounced on Li Xinyue.
Li Xinyue, who was still lost in thought, was suddenly kissed and completely stunned.
Her mind went blank, and she had no idea what was happening.
Chu Chen didn't stop, becoming more unrestrained and pulling Li Xinyue onto the bed.
However, after a moment, Chu Chen felt a sharp pain and withdrew.
He tasted a slightly salty, bloody flavor in his mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "Princess, why are you like this?"
Li Xinyue said with a cold laugh, "What do you mean, 'why am I like this'? I've already been very good to you."
"Didn't I say that the best should be saved for after marriage? What are you doing?"
Li Mengdie, hiding in the wardrobe, heard this and her face lit up with uncontrollable joy.
So, nothing had happened between Chu Chen and Li Xinyue yet. This meant she was Chu Chen's first woman!
Haha, Li Xinyue, you always get the better things, but when it comes to Chu Chen, you've bet on the wrong horse.
You never expected that your Chu Chen has already been claimed by me.
Li Xinyue, you've fallen behind me. Don't worry, not only your body, but everything about you will be behind me. Just wait and see if you don't believe me.
One wrong step leads to a cascade of errors. Facing a true genius like Chu Chen, playing those games with him, how could you possibly win?
Chu Chen was born to pacify the world, sent with a mission. Did Li Xinyue really think she could always win with Chu Chen's special attention?
Chu Chen chuckled dryly and said, "Princess, I just saw that we are about to get married, so I wanted to experience it in advance. As the saying goes, 'early use, early enjoyment.'"
Hearing Chu Chen's lewd words, Li Xinyue slapped his backside twice fiercely.
"Who said such nonsense? You're bullying me, I won't talk to you anymore."
Saying this, Li Xinyue sat up and walked towards the door, saying, "I'll continue to clean up the mess. You stay here and guard the house. Don't run around, understand?"
Chu Chen quickly agreed and watched as Li Xinyue closed the door and walked away.
Once Li Xinyue's footsteps completely disappeared, Chu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the wardrobe, opening the door.
"Princess, you can come out now. Princess Xinyue has left."
"Slap!"
Chu Chen's face was suddenly struck by a heavy slap. Li Mengdie slapped Chu Chen and then walked out from inside.
Chu Chen could have dodged the slap, but he didn't deliberately do so, allowing her to hit him squarely on the face.
Li Mengdie said with surprise, "Why didn't you dodge just now?"
"I know what I said earlier displeased you. I know you're angry, and it's only right for you to hit me."
Li Mengdie snorted, "Consider yourself sensible. I understand that what you said or thought was normal. I just felt a little uncomfortable, like I was being toyed with by you, which is why I hit you."
"Princess, I'll take you away. Come with me to the Prime Minister's mansion, and I'll arrange for people to attend to your daily needs."
Li Mengdie thought for a moment and still agreed to Chu Chen.
Half an hour later, the disguised Li Mengdie, along with the masked Chu Chen, quietly returned to the back courtyard of the Prime Minister's mansion.
Although it was chaotic here, it was safe.
After settling Li Mengdie, Chu Chen found the Empress.
