The woman naturally thought that Lu Chen was lying to her, but she couldn't say it.

"I know you don't believe it, but I can tell you responsibly that this is the truth. As for why he did this, it's simply because he wanted to frame me and then take the opportunity to get rid of me. I'm afraid there are already tens of thousands of guards lying in ambush outside."

Lu Chen said slowly.

After a pause, Lu Chen continued, "I know you still don't believe it. How about you think about whether there is anything unusual in the past two days?"

The woman's heart tightened. After hearing what Lu Chen said, she really discovered something unusual. Since the past two days, the imperial guards have been frequently mobilized in the harem.

She heard frequent footsteps and then asked her maid to observe secretly, only to find that a large number of guards were being mobilized.

The Royal Guards would not make such a loud noise when on duty. She and her maid were so scared at the time that they thought there was a mutiny. Later, after asking the maid, they found out that there was no mutiny.

"You should be Zhao Ji's concubine. Zhao Ji is really cruel. In order to get rid of me, he even sacrificed his own concubine. You don't have to look at me like that. I think Zhao Ji's idea is this: he knows your bathing time every day, so he leads me here. When you see me, you scream, and then they rush in and accuse me of trespassing into the harem and raping concubines, and put me to death."

"As for you, a concubine who was seen naked by another man, even if Zhao Ji doesn't kill you, you will be banished to the cold palace. However, in my opinion, for the sake of the honor of the royal family, his best choice is to sentence you to death."

"So, your fate is either a life worse than death, or immediate death."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and analyzed the current situation of the two to the woman.

"Woo~~"

The woman opened her mouth, obviously wanting to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Chen said to her, "I can untie your acupuncture points, but you'd better think it over carefully. If you scream and they rush in, what will happen to you?"

"If you don't scream, I'll untie you. If you agree, just blink."

The woman blinked quickly.

Lu Chen snapped his fingers and a stream of true energy shot out, unblocking the woman's acupoints.

"Don't look at it, turn your back on it!"

The woman quickly covered her chest and glared at Lu Chen.

“I’ve seen them all.”

Lu Chen muttered something, but turned his back obediently.

The woman heard Lu Chen's muttering and felt ashamed and angry.

The woman quickly put on her clothes and said, "Okay, you can turn around now."

Lu Chen turned around and looked at the dressed woman. He was amazed. Her figure was as curvy as Ji Yaohua's.

A woman who can marry into the imperial palace must have a good family background and good looks, otherwise she would not be chosen to enter the palace.

"Who are you? Why does the government want to kill you?"

The woman glared at Lu Chen fiercely. If she could beat Lu Chen, she would dig out Lu Chen's hateful eyes.

"My name is Lu Chen."

"Are you the Lu Chen who fought off a million-strong army alone in Xiyun City?"

The woman was shocked when she heard this.

"you know me?"

Lu Chen asked.

The woman nodded and said, "You fought off a million-strong army in Xiyun City. The news has long been spread throughout the palace. Naturally, I have also heard about it. The concubines and maids in the palace admire you very much."

At this point, the woman suddenly came to her senses and said incredulously: "That's not right. You have made such great contributions to the court, why would the government want to kill you?"

"You've already said that I fought off a million-strong army. Do you think any emperor in this world would tolerate me?"

Lu Chen said with a smile.

"You are too successful to be a threat to the ruler. No, it should be suspicion. No wonder the ruler wants to kill you."

The woman was born into a family of officials and was not ignorant. She quickly understood why the government wanted to kill Lu Chen.

At the same time, she also understood her own situation. In order to get rid of Lu Chen, the government was willing to sacrifice itself.

Just as Lu Chen said, once she shouted, the people outside would rush in immediately. By then, they would not be able to explain themselves even if they had ten thousand mouths. Lu Chen would be killed, and she would definitely not have a good ending.

"What should we do now? If you didn't lie to me, then they must have set up an ambush outside. They must have seen you come in. What should we do if they come in to search you later?"

The woman stamped her feet in anxiety. She was living well, but was dragged into a conspiracy. The royal family was the most ruthless. After today, her life would be in danger.

The woman walked around the room anxiously, but Lu Chen had a calm expression, and didn't seem to be worried about what was about to happen.

"Why aren't you afraid?"

The woman noticed that Lu Chen didn't show any nervousness or fear at all, and asked angrily.

If it wasn't for Lu Chen, how could the government implicate her?

"What's there to be afraid of? I have my own way."

Lu Chen smiled indifferently. He would not let Zhao Ji control him. Zhao Ji's three axes were good enough to deal with ordinary people in the martial arts world, but they were far from enough to deal with him.

"What can you do? We both have to..."

When the woman said this, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Chen with sharp eyes: "Oh, aren't you a martial arts master? If you use Qinggong to leave now, they won't be able to find you, and I'll be safe."

"Zhao Ji poisoned me, and my skills were wasted. Now I am like a useless person."

Lu Chen spread his hands.

"Didn't you say you had a solution? You lied to me. It's over. It's over. Woohoo. I'm going to die."

The woman was in a panic.

"It's useless to be anxious. Even if there is no movement here, they will find a way to come in and test us. Why don't we go to the underworld and become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks?"

Lu Chen found her spinning around and found it very interesting, and couldn't help but make fun of her.

"Bah! Who wants to be your lover? You've caused me so much pain."

The woman was so angry that she gave Lu Chen a fierce look.

"Okay, don't worry, we're not going to die yet."

Lu Chen smiled and comforted.

Upon hearing this, the woman said hurriedly, "It's urgent now, how can I not be anxious? If you die, everything will be over, but if I die, I'm afraid it will implicate my father and brother."

At this point, the woman began to sob softly.

……

Not far from the courtyard, Zhao Ji and Cai Jing were standing there waiting. As soon as they heard a woman scream from inside, they would rush in.

However, after a quarter of an hour, no sound came from inside.

Zhao Ji couldn't wait any longer, so he asked the eunuch who had led the way, "You little dog slave, did you lead us in the right direction?"

The eunuch knelt on the ground in fear, sweating coldly, and said hurriedly: "Sir, I will not take you the wrong way. I did take Marquis Wuyun to the courtyard of Concubine Wei."

"What a pity, Lady Wei."

There was a glimmer of regret in Zhao Ji's eyes. Concubine Wei was a beautiful lady who had just been sent to the palace. However, due to his recent health condition, he had no chance to favor her before she passed away.

He just felt a little sorry because the thing that was most in demand in the harem was concubines. It was her blessing to be able to sacrifice for the Zhao royal family.
