In the Golden Palace, King Yan Bei came after hearing the news.

He did not summon all the ministers. It was enough for him to just meet with Lu Xunhuan. There was no need for the ministers to discuss the matter.

To Lu Xunhuan's left was the general, and to his right was Xia Yin. The three of them entered the door, looked at His Majesty the King, and walked forward.

Xia Yin was immediately overjoyed when she saw that the king was still a young man.

Marrying a young king is naturally better than marrying an old man.

The three of them came up and knelt down to salute: "Long live His Majesty."

Yan Bei sighed: "Get up, there are no outsiders here, so don't bother with that."

Lu Xun Huan stood up with the two of them and said, "Your Majesty, I have gone to Western Chu and am currently understanding the national situation there."

Yan Bei asked, "Who is this woman?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "The daughter of Shangguan Shangshu, the Minister of War of Western Chu, has made meritorious contributions to me there. I have agreed to bring her to Longzhou City to marry Your Majesty."

Yan Bei said in surprise: "Marry me?"

Lu Xunhuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, her name is Shangguan Yin. She is smart and clever, and a very good girl..."

He turned around and asked the general, "How many people are there in your Majesty's harem?"

The general replied, "Since ascending the throne, I have not yet chosen a concubine. There is only one queen."

Yan Bei scolded: "Stop talking too much. You don't want to get promoted, right?"

The general saluted quickly: "Your Majesty, your humble servant..."

Yan Bei said, "Lu Chenglong, I can marry Miss Shangguan and make her my imperial concubine, but you have to agree to one condition."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Your Majesty, I cannot return to Longzhou City to serve as an official for the time being. I still have many things to do there."

Yan Bei shook his head: "You, have you completely forgotten Xiaoxue? I'm not talking about you coming back to be an official, but about marrying Xiaoxue."

Lu Xunhuan touched his chin: "This..."

Yan Bei said, "You don't want to, right? Fine, I don't want to either. Send this girl back to Western Chu."

Beside him, Xia Yin was anxious and quickly pulled Lu Xunhuan's clothes: "Hurry up and agree..."

Lu Xun Huan bowed to Yan Bei and said, "I obey your command."

A smile appeared on Yan Bei's face: "That's right, come here."

The chief eunuch came running in and bowed, "Your Majesty."

Yan Bei said, "I hereby order Shangguan Yin to enter the palace, be appointed Imperial Concubine, and sleep with me tonight."

The chief eunuch saluted again and said, "As you wish."

Yan Bei continued, "I will issue another decree. I order Lu Chenglong and Yan Ningxue to marry tonight. The wedding can be held later. If he dares to disobey my decree, I will abolish the first clause."

At the Third Prince's Mansion, Lu Xunhuan came accompanied by the general.

Xia Yin was brought into the harem by the eunuch chief, formally canonized, and prepared to sleep with the king at night.

When the Third Prince's Mansion received the imperial edict from His Majesty, everyone was overjoyed and immediately got busy.

Lu Xunhuan was surrounded by a group of servants and taken to take a bath, washing him clean from head to toe.

As night falls, two red candles are lit.

Lu Xunhuan was sent to the bridal chamber.

Sitting on the wedding bed was Yan Ningxue, dressed in red and wearing a red veil.

Lu Xunhuan walked forward and lifted the veil.

Yan Ningxue's face was shy, pink and tender with a slight blush, and she lowered her head, looking extremely beautiful.

Lu Xunhuan took her hand, and they returned to the table and sat down.

Yan Ningxue picked up the wine jug, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one to Lu Xunhuan.

The two of them raised their cups, clinked their cups, and drank it all in one gulp.

Until the lights in the bridal chamber went out and everything calmed down, the two of them never said a word.

Let’s talk about it when we wake up.

It was late at night and Lu Xunhuan was half asleep when he suddenly heard a pop-up window.

He was startled, quietly got up and opened the rear window.

In the darkness of the night, a masked man in a black robe stood outside the window, waving at him.

He jumped out and followed the man to the foot of the wall of the prince's mansion.

The black-robed man said, "Do you really think you have killed the president of the Immortal Friends Association?"

Lu Xun Huan was surprised: "Why, he didn't get poisoned to death?"

The black-robed man said, "The deceased Shangshu was just his replacement."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "How do you know?"

The black-robed man said, "The president of the Immortal Friends Association is not in Changzhou City. I don't know where he is."

"I only know that Shangshu's true strength is only the ninth level of the Qianyuan Realm. How could someone at the ninth level of the Qianyuan Realm be the president of the Immortal Friends Association?"

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Have you been following me?"

The black-robed man said, "Do I really need to follow you? I just happened to see you colluding with Xia Yin. Of course, you did a great job. If that wasn't a substitute, you would have done a great deed."

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "Have you found out where the divine bones are in Longzhou City?"

Two thoughts were fighting fiercely in Lu Xunhuan's mind: should he tell him or not?

Tell him that he is in the Fifth Prince's secret room and let him seek death. If he can be killed, it will be just what you want.

But if those mechanisms and traps cannot stop him and allow him to escape unscathed, then the divine bone will be taken away by him.

He made a quick decision without telling the man in black.

He said, “I’m checking.”

The black-robed man nodded and said, "Hurry up! Now that your substitute is dead, the president of the Immortal Friends Association will probably show up in person. With your Qianyuan Realm strength, destroying you will be as easy as pinching an ant."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Then who destroyed the Changzhou City branch of the Immortal Friends Association before? Was he a substitute or the president?"

The black-robed man said, "I think it was done by a substitute."

He said to Lu Xunhuan, "Don't indulge in the pleasure of sex. Stay for a few days and then hurry back to Changzhou City."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Yes."

When the man in black robe walked over the courtyard wall, Lu Xunhuan felt indescribably depressed.

I was happy for just a few days before I was poured with a basin of cold water and felt completely disappointed.

So cunning, he even got a stand-in.

It made him happy for nothing.

He quietly jumped back into the room, closed the window, and lay down next to Yan Ningxue.

However, being able to destroy the president's stand-in and force the president to take action personally can also be considered a victory.

If he doesn't show up, how can we destroy him?

He lost his sleepiness and lay awake in the darkness, his mind full of random thoughts.

Finally, Yan Ningxue woke up beside him.

She turned over and hugged him, and when she found that he was awake, she asked, "Husband, is marrying me delaying your important matter?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "No, I was just afraid of delaying you."

Yan Ningxue said: "No matter what your future holds, I am willing to do so. Don't say those words."

She helped him undress: "You have to go out and run around. We are rarely together. Give me a child quickly."

The two stopped talking, and everything was left unsaid.

Lu Xunhuan stayed in Changzhou City for three days and then went to bid farewell to Yanbei.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to Changzhou City."

Yan Bei asked, "How long do you estimate it will take?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Some things in the Immortal Realm may not be accomplished in a short time. I don't know how long it will take. Wait until Dong Yan becomes stronger and is sure of victory. Then you can do what you want."

Yan Bei nodded: "I understand."

He suddenly lowered his voice: "I want to thank you, Concubine Yin, it's very interesting, I like it."

Lu Xun Huan said, "It's fine as long as Your Majesty likes it, but don't get too obsessed with it, or you'll miss out on state affairs."

He bowed to Yan Bei and said, "Your Majesty, I bid you farewell."
