Cai Jing curled his lips. He thought that this official was the most hypocritical and incompetent. Was it necessary to go through so much trouble to get rid of Lu Chen? In Cai Jing's opinion, there were plenty of ways to do it. He had to leave a good reputation.

"Cai Jing, what do you think will happen here?"

Zhao Ji asked Cai Jing.

"Your Majesty, this man and woman are so passionate about each other, I'm afraid that the noble lady Wei has been..."

Cai Jing said in a low voice.

"Dog thief!"

Zhao Ji drew his sword and rushed forward: "I will exterminate all his nine clans."

Although he didn't care about a woman, this was related to his face. According to his original plan, Concubine Wei would scream after seeing Lu Chen, and the harem guards would rush in as soon as they heard Concubine Wei's scream.

He could charge Lu Chen with trespassing into the harem and switching concubines, leaving Lu Chen speechless.

Seeing this, Cai Jing immediately stopped Zhao Ji and said, "Sir, the effect of the bone-eroding power is not that fast. If we go in now, with Lu Chen's current strength, he may still be able to escape. It is better to wait for a while."

Zhao Ji threw his sleeves and said angrily, "He got it for free."

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from inside. Zhao Ji didn't want to wait any longer, so he sent a young eunuch to investigate.

……

"Which concubine in the palace are you?"

Lu Chen asked the woman, in this palace, you are either a palace maid or a concubine.

Someone with this kind of appearance should not be a palace maid.

"I am just a noble, my surname is Wei, my full name is Wei Fomian, and I was brought into the palace last month. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?"

The woman wiped her tears and replied.

Zhao Ji had many concubines, and Lu Chen had no impression of them all. He guessed that Zhao Ji might not know all of them.

However, the concubines who followed Zhao Ji did not have a good ending in the end. After the country was destroyed, they were all captured by the Jin people. One can imagine the fate of these concubines.

"Do you want to live?"

Lu Chen looked at the woman and asked with a smile.

The woman looked at Lu Chen in surprise when she heard that. Her life was at stake, so how could Lu Chen tease her again?

She was just a weak woman who was sent to the palace by her father and brother. She had not yet been favored by the emperor, but now she was sold by him.

"Master Lu, please stop teasing me. You should leave quickly. Maybe you can still survive."

Lady Wei sighed and said.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Lu Chen smiled slightly.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Wei asked excitedly.

"of course."

Lu Chen nodded.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside: "Madam, are you okay?"

When Concubine Wei heard the voice, she was shocked and looked at Lu Chen at a loss.

Lu Chen winked at Concubine Wei, who came to her senses and shouted to the outside of the door, "I'm fine."

"My lady, I'm coming in."

The eunuch seemed not to have heard what Concubine Wei said and rushed in directly. Concubine Wei was shocked and looked back, but Lu Chen was nowhere to be seen behind her.

Concubine Wei blinked her eyes. How could such a living person disappear? Could it be that she really encountered a ghost?

After the eunuch broke in, he looked inside stealthily.

"What are you looking at?"

Noble Lady Wei said with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu Yun just came to the harem and disappeared. The emperor ordered us to search for him in the harem, and someone saw him enter your Majesty's place."

The eunuch explained quickly.

"What Wu Yunhou? I don't know him, and there is no one else here. If you don't believe me, just look for yourself."

Concubine Wei snorted coldly and moved aside.

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but still went in to search, but did not find Lu Chen.

The eunuch was confused. Lu Chen had clearly come in, so how come he disappeared?

"You've seen it too. I haven't seen the Wu Yunhou you mentioned. Maybe he went somewhere else."

Lady Wei said calmly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am only following orders. Marquis Wu Yun should be somewhere else."

The eunuch said quickly.

Having said this, the eunuch retreated.

"are you still there?"

After the eunuch left, Concubine Wei asked in a low voice.

"Are you there?"

When no one responded, she asked again in a low voice.

"Behind you."

Lu Chen's voice came from behind her.

When Lady Wei looked back, she saw Lu Chen already in front of her. She asked incredulously, "Where were you hiding just now?"

"Well, it's a secret."

"fine."

Lady Wei rolled her eyes at Lu Chen.

"What should we do now? They will definitely come again, and they are surrounded by guards outside, so you can't get out."

Lady Wei asked Lu Chen. She was already panicking and didn't have any idea.

"Don't worry, they can't surround me. As long as they can't find me, you'll be safe."

Lu Chen said slowly.

When Concubine Wei heard this, her eyes lit up. As long as Lu Chen was not found here, she would be safe.

At this moment, she just wanted to save her life and didn't care about anything else. Even if she was sent to the harem afterwards, she would accept it.

"By the way, do you know Zhuge Shenhou?"

Lu Chen suddenly asked.

"Shen Hou, of course I know. This is the Grand Tutor of our dynasty, and he is also the teacher of the emperor. The emperor respects him very much."

Noble Lady Wei said.

"If Zhao Ji wanted to trap Zhuge Shenhou, where would he choose?"

Lu Chen asked again.

"This is impossible. The emperor respects the Grand Tutor so much, and it is rumored that the Grand Tutor's martial arts is the best in the world. How can the palace trap him?"

Lady Wei said immediately.

"I said if."

"Although I don't know why you said that, if you want to say it, then there is only one place that is most suitable, and that is the Sui Ming Palace."

"Sui Ming Palace?"

"Yes, it is the Chongming Palace. This Chongming Palace was built by Taizu and was the place where Taizu practiced martial arts. After Taizu passed away, this Chongming Palace was abandoned. Only a place like this is most suitable to trap a strong man like Shen Hou."

Lady Wei nodded.

"Thank you, I'll leave now, you're safe."

Lu Chen thanked him.

"How are you going to get out now?"

Noble Lady Wei asked curiously.

"Close your eyes, count to ten in your mind, and then open your eyes."

Lu Chen said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Concubine Wei did as Lu Chen said and closed her eyes.

Seeing that she was ready, Lu Chen said, "Okay, you can start counting."

"1, 2, 3..."

Lady Wei really began to count silently in her mind.

"ah!"

But when she counted to the sixth time, she suddenly felt someone touching her face and she opened her eyes immediately in fright.

But there was no sign of Lu Chen in front of her. She searched the room for a while but couldn't find him. She was confused. Could Lu Chen be a ghost? How could he disappear just like that?
