In the evening.
In the Wind Cloud Palace, only Mu Zixuan, Lu Chen, and a few maids were left.
After being comforted by Lu Chen, his other wives and consorts had calmed down, and now they could only trust Lu Chen.

There wasn’t anything they could do about this situation; aside from trusting Lu Chen, there was no other way.
At this moment, Mu Zixuan sat on a wooden stool with a slight sigh, then said to Lu Chen, "Your concubine is really useless, encountering such an issue, I can’t be of any help at all."
Hearing this, Lu Chen slowly walked behind Mu Zixuan, wrapped his arms around her waist, and leaning close to her ear he said, "Don’t talk like that. Your managing the affairs inside the Imperial Palace is already a great help to me."
Having said this, Lu Chen performed Shadow Shifting and in the next moment, the two of them were on the soft couch.
Lu Chen had Mu Zixuan sit on his lap, his arms holding her soft body.
Feeling Lu Chen’s warmth, Mu Zixuan’s cheeks reddened slightly, then she spoke, "Your Majesty, when I recently practiced the Mysterious Female Technique, I always felt some discomfort. I don’t know why."
Hearing this, Lu Chen said with confusion, "Discomfort?"
Then, Lu Chen checked Mu Zixuan’s body using the Rejuvenating Skill and found there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.
With her face flushed, Mu Zixuan said, "Your concubine also doesn’t understand what’s wrong, just that something feels missing."
Lu Chen immediately understood what was missing; he knew that without his assistance, his wives and concubines would all feel a sense of loss and emptiness when practicing the Mysterious Female Technique.
Although the Mysterious Female Technique was not a Dual Cultivation Technique, it still required someone to provide guidance.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I will assist you in circulating your cultivation, try practicing once more."
With these words, Lu Chen gently laid Mu Zixuan down on the couch, his hands slowly moving inside her palace attire, and in just a moment, the two entered the right state.
Seeing Mu Zixuan’s eyes become foggy with enchantment, completely forgetting to cultivate, Lu Chen reminded her aloud, "Zixuan, it’s time to circulate your cultivation."
Hearing this, Mu Zixuan suddenly became alert, "Ah... Your concubine has been impolite..."
Immediately she hastened to circulate her cultivation, and this time, she indeed did not feel that discomfort.
Lu Chen didn’t take over actively; he turned with Mu Zixuan in his arms, allowing her to practice on her own from above.
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Zixuan suddenly felt a surge of Spiritual Power spread within her body, and then her Realm was elevated, advancing directly from the Unity Realm into the Heavenly Human Realm.
Feeling the Spiritual Energy surging inside, Mu Zixuan was ecstatic, having finally broken through. Her talent was not exceptional, and even though she always strived to cultivate, compared to Lu Chen’s other women, her Cultivation State progressed more slowly.
If it wasn’t for the revival of the Spiritual Energy in the Tianchen World over the past few years, plus the vast cultivation resources Lu Chen had provided her, she wouldn’t have been able to break through to the Unity Realm in such a short period.
She had been stuck at the Unity Realm for a lengthy time, unable to break through, while Lu Chen’s other wives and concubines had already become Celestials, and she remained a common person, which made her quite anxious. Today, she finally entered the Heavenly Human Realm.
Seeing Mu Zixuan’s excited appearance, Lu Chen lying on the bed revealed a tender smile as he gazed at her blushing, radiant face.
Mu Zixuan quickly snapped back to reality, looked down at Lu Chen and hastily said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping your concubine break through the Heavenly Human Realm!"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "It’s not related to me; it’s all the result of your diligent cultivation."
Just at that moment, the Spiritual Power inside Mu Zixuan’s body involuntarily began to emit outward, her Spiritual Power seemed chaotic, and she felt like she could not control it.
Feeling Mu Zixuan’s predicament, Lu Chen also hurriedly released his Spiritual Power, instantly his Spiritual Power pervaded the entire Imperial Palace. He then contained Mu Zixuan’s Spiritual Power within her body, preventing it from continuing its rampage.
Originally a common person, Mu Zixuan was not suited for cultivation, and it was Lu Chen who had somewhat forcibly placed her on the path of cultivation, so her control over Spiritual Power was not as easy as it was for his other wives.
At this moment, Mu Zixuan collapsed weakly, lying on Lu Chen’s broad chest, with one of Lu Chen’s hands holding her slim waist and the other gently stroking her jade back.
"It’s okay, just relax and take it slow."
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Mu Zixuan’s heart calmed down a bit, and she began to slowly gather the Spiritual Power. With Lu Chen’s help, Mu Zixuan soon retracted the Spiritual Power that had spread into the Wind Cloud Palace.
Mu Zixuan took a breath and then said, "Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Lu Chen was about to say something when suddenly he paused.
As he had been helping Mu Zixuan retract her Spiritual Power, his own had covered the entire Imperial Palace, making him aware of what was happening within.
He discovered two moving figures in the room where Lu Changfeng was.
Lu Chen’s expression stiffened.
Seeing that Lu Chen had suddenly fallen silent, Mu Zixuan was puzzled. She slowly climbed up from his chest and looked into Lu Chen’s eyes, "Your Majesty? What’s wrong?"
Lu Chen returned to his senses and, gazing into Mu Zixuan’s beautiful eyes, asked, "Zixuan, has Feng’er been acting differently lately?"
Hearing this question, Mu Zixuan was a bit baffled; why would Lu Chen suddenly ask this?
Acting differently?
What could be different about him?
As the Crown Prince, Lu Changfeng spent his days studying and also learning administrative affairs with Zhuge Zhongguang. There didn’t seem to be anything unusual.
Mu Zixuan answered, "Your concubine hasn’t noticed anything unusual about him. Why do you ask such a question, Your Majesty?"
Mu Zixuan was afraid that Lu Changfeng had done something terrible behind her back, and that Lu Chen had found out. After all, Lu Changfeng was her son, and she felt incredibly nervous in her heart, her eyes looking at Lu Chen in a fluster.
Lu Chen said, "When did that Wu Yao start following Feng’er? I can’t quite remember."
Initially, when Lu Chen met Wu Yao, he thought she was decent-looking and exhibited a high level of loyalty. Moreover, Wu Yao was Wu Junwan’s sister, so he allowed her into the palace and to serve as a maid by Lu Changfeng’s side.
Mu Zixuan replied, "When Feng’er was five years old, Your Majesty arranged for Wu Yao to be by his side."
Mu Zixuan grew more curious as to why Lu Chen was asking about Wu Yao again. Could it be that Wu Yao had done something treasonous?
Hearing Mu Zixuan’s response, Lu Chen murmured, "The year he was five, huh? Time really flies."
Lu Chen then retracted his spiritual power perception; he did not have the habit of spying on his son in that regard.
Wu Yao was more than a decade older than Lu Changfeng. Most importantly, Wu Yao was Wu Junwan’s sister. Even if they did not share the same mother, they shared the same father, making Wu Yao’s generational rank higher than Lu Changfeng’s.
Lu Chen felt a headache coming on; his son didn’t learn the good things but instead followed in his footsteps in this matter.
Now that Wu Yao had reached an age of mature charm, she indeed possessed a tremendous attraction to Lu Changfeng, so it was normal for him to be unable to resist his inner urges.
However, considering that their Lu family bloodline was quite special, he had to remind Lu Changfeng that it was best not to father any children.
Lu Chen had no intention of breaking them up; what was done was done, and Wu Yao was quite a reasonable woman who could be a help to Lu Changfeng.
Lu Chen felt as if he was seeing his past self with Chu Yuqin.
...
Meanwhile, in the East Palace.
In the room, under the dim light, two figures moved rhythmically.
At that moment, Wu Yao lay on the soft couch, watching the man more than a decade her junior with a mix of anxiety, panic, and excitement, "Your Highness, if His Majesty finds out, this servant..."
The Wu Family’s situation was already quite awkward. If the Sum Emperor learned that she had become the woman of Crown Prince Lu Changfeng, he might think she seduced Lu Changfeng with ulterior motives.
Lu Changfeng appeared not to hear Wu Yao’s words as he continued his actions, saying, "Auntie Wu, don’t worry, I will definitely get my father to agree for you to be my woman."
Wu Yao felt helpless; she indeed had some feelings for this younger man, but their relationship was destined to have no future.
"Your Highness..."
"Mmm..."

Wu Yao didn’t finish her sentence before her mouth was silenced.
...
At the same time, inside Wind Cloud Palace, Mu Zixuan looked at Lu Chen, puzzled. She still couldn’t understand why Lu Chen brought up Wu Yao at this time.
Seeing the worried look on Mu Zixuan’s face, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Feng’er has grown up; it’s time someone taught him about adult matters."
This...
Hearing this, Mu Zixuan’s heart skipped a beat; she immediately grasped Lu Chen’s implication.
But Lu Chen had just mentioned Wu Yao. Could it be he intended for Wu Yao to become Lu Changfeng’s teacher?
Surely that wasn’t appropriate?
After all, Wu Yao was Wu Junwan’s sister.
Mu Zixuan then said, "Your Majesty, do you intend for Wu Yao to be Feng’er’s..."
Mu Zixuan didn’t finish her sentence.
Lu Chen at that moment only smiled without saying a word.
Mu Zixuan continued, "Your Majesty, wouldn’t that be somewhat improper? By generational rank, Wu Yao is older than Feng’er."
Lu Chen said, "They have already been intimate; I’m just going with the flow."
This...
Mu Zixuan was utterly taken aback.
She hadn’t expected that under her own watch, Lu Changfeng had already been intimate with Wu Yao without her knowledge.
Lu Chen continued, "When I helped you gather spiritual energy just now, I detected some situations in the East Palace. Feng’er is still busy right now."
Mu Zixuan was even more confounded; she realized why Lu Chen had brought up Wu Yao at this moment. He had sensed that Lu Changfeng was engaging in "treasonous affairs."
Mu Zixuan suddenly felt angry; that rascal Lu Changfeng dared to make a move on his Auntie Wu, he really had the gall.
Just as Mu Zixuan was about to say something, she suddenly recalled Lu Chen and Chu Yuqin and was unsure what to say.
She then sighed softly and resignedly said, "I leave it all to Your Majesty’s decision."
