Chapter 2006 I really want to ascend to that position
Lu Chen's cultivation level has improved so quickly, and now that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has military power and controls the Zhengui Division, it may not be long before the Zhennan Prince's Mansion rises again. This is not good news for the Great Zhou royal family.
Ji Yunmeng seriously suspected that Lu Chen was joking with her.
If she were Lu Chen, she would never tell anyone about her current cultivation level, not even her husband.
Having sexual relations with someone does not mean that they can trust each other.
Seeing that Ji Yunmeng did not believe him, Lu Chen did not waste any words and directly released the pressure of the mid-stage Spirit Realm.
The next moment, his spiritual energy filled the entire bridal chamber.
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Lu Chen, Ji Yunmeng was immediately filled with astonishment.
What Lu Chen said was actually true! He really had reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm!
His talent is really that high? And it's only been a few months!
Ji Yunmeng increasingly felt that her plan was going to fall through.
Lu Chen is so talented, and since he lost his memory, he has become unlike the spoiled brat he was rumored to be.
With Lu Chen in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, her attempt to control it is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Most importantly, Lu Chen had already guessed that she wanted to become empress, and would definitely be on guard against her.
For a moment, Ji Yunmeng's gaze towards Lu Chen held a complex emotion.
Seeing Ji Yunmeng speechless with shock, Lu Chen then concealed his aura and asked with a smile, "How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I? Now that I've even told you about my own cultivation level, shouldn't you also confess your plans to me?"
Ji Yunmeng came to her senses and said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yunmeng lay down again.
At this moment, Lu Chen was turned to the side, propping his head up with one hand, his eyes admiring her cool and beautiful face.
"To be honest, you don't need to be wary of me. Now that you've married into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, we're family. Whatever you want, I'll do my best to help you."
Ji Yunmeng remained silent; she simply didn't believe Lu Chen's words.
She now even suspects that Lu Chen told her all this in order to push her out as a target.
Even if Lu Chen were truly willing to help her ascend to that position, it's highly likely that Lu Chen is eyeing that position and simply wants to use her status as a princess to legitimately seize the throne.
Once she truly becomes emperor, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will kick her aside, and then Lu Chen will become the new emperor.
However, to be fair, the Prince of Zhennan's mansion would be better off choosing a prince than a woman like her.
It was more legitimate for a prince to become emperor, and no one said anything about it.
If the Prince of Zhennan's mansion were to actually recommend her as emperor, it would inevitably face enormous resistance.
Seeing that Ji Yunmeng did not speak, Lu Chen did not care and continued, "You don't need to think too much. The reason I chose to help you is mainly because the royal family will not allow the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to continue to exist. After this matter is over, the royal family will definitely suppress the Zhennan Prince's Mansion again until it is destroyed."
"If I can help you ascend to that position, then the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will truly be preserved. You need the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion needs you too."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Yunmeng felt that they made some sense, but she was still worried that Lu Chen was just fooling her.
Lu Chen didn't care whether Ji Yunmeng responded to him or not. He continued to speak eloquently: "Besides, once you become the Empress and are pregnant with our child, the Lu family will be the emperor in the future. So, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is helping you to ascend to that position entirely for the benefit of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion itself. I have already said this much. If you still don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do."
Having said that, Lu Chen fell silent and said nothing more. The room fell silent again for a long time.
By this time, the sky outside the window was already turning white, and dawn was approaching. The candlelight in the room was gradually burning out.
Ji Yunmeng finally spoke up, saying, "You want to first promote me to that position, then use public opinion to criticize my illegitimate position, and ultimately make me abdicate the throne to you, right?"
Lu Chen chuckled: "You really think I want that position?"
Ji Yunmeng asked, "Isn't that right?"
Lu Chen said, "My ambition lies elsewhere. What I desire is greater strength. I have no interest in worldly power. In my view, as long as I am strong enough, any dynasty will be trampled under my feet, and the emperor will merely be my representative."
Ji Yunmeng asked, "If that's the case, then why did you help me? And why do you want your child to usurp the Ji family's throne?"
Lu Chen said, "It's very simple. If I want to become stronger, I need more resources. And as I said, I don't want the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to be suppressed again. Although I have no interest in worldly power, I have to say that worldly power is of great help in the early stages of my martial arts path."
Upon hearing these words, Ji Yunmeng fell into deep thought.
What Lu Chen said sounded reasonable.
If that's truly his view, then their collaboration is indeed feasible.
But what she was most worried about was that Lu Chen was lying to her.
Lu Chen then continued, "In this era, it's almost impossible for a woman to reach that position without the help of a powerful force. Think about it carefully. When you've figured it out, you can tell me."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Ji Yunmeng said, "How do I know if what you say is true or false? If you are just testing me, or if you are using me as a pawn to ascend the throne, then it will be too late for me to regret it."
For a woman to climb to that position, she would inevitably clash with members of the royal family, especially her brothers.
She might kill many members of the royal family and eliminate her brothers.
Once she did that, she would be completely at odds with the royal family, leaving her with no way out.
If the Prince of Zhennan's mansion suddenly goes back on its word and stops supporting her, she will likely face certain death.
Seeing that Ji Yunmeng was still worried that he would lie to her, Lu Chen said, "With my current rate of improvement in cultivation, do you think I would really care about that position? The Great Zhou is too small for me."
Ji Yunmeng fell silent once again.
If Lu Chen really only started practicing martial arts a few months ago, and broke through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm in just a few months, then his talent is definitely the greatest in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For someone with his talent, the Great Zhou Dynasty was indeed too small for him. He would leave the Great Zhou Dynasty sooner or later, and worldly power could not restrict his progress.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunmeng finally chose to open her heart and admitted, "I do indeed want to ascend to that position."
Seeing that Ji Yunmeng had finally admitted it, Lu Chen flipped over and pinned her down again, then looked down at her and said, "My wife finally trusts me."
Ji Yunmeng said expressionlessly, "I do not completely trust you."
Although she admitted her ambition, she would still be wary of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion and Lu Chen.
People change. Perhaps Lu Chen is currently full of vigor and wants to go further on the path of martial arts, but if one day he suddenly encounters some obstacle and his realm becomes difficult to improve, his attention may very well shift to worldly power. (End of this chapter)
