Chapter 2056 It turns out your mother had already paved the way for you.
Hearing what the Prince of Zhennan said, Lu Chen replied, "Let it be chaotic. The change of dynasties is a perfectly normal thing."
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't seem to care about the matter, the Prince of Zhennan understood that Lu Chen really had no intention of vying for that position. He said with some disappointment, "Chen'er, I have already rebuilt the Zhennan Army for you. Don't you even want to try for that position?"
The reason why the Prince of Zhennan worked so hard, even while being corrupted by the evil spirits, instead of returning to the capital, and stayed in Guangling County to rebuild the Zhennan Army, was precisely to give Lu Chen the capital to contend for supremacy.
However, Lu Chen remained uninterested in the position, just as before, which naturally disappointed the Prince of Zhennan.
To be honest, Lu Chen in this life really doesn't want to be an emperor at all. He's had enough of being an emperor. Now he just wants to quietly improve his strength and find the Burial Furnace as soon as possible.
Lu Chen understood how deep the Prince of Zhennan's obsession was, so he said directly, "Father, I understand what you're thinking. I'll just tell you directly: I've already made a deal with Ji Yunmeng. I'll help her ascend to that position, and then our child will inherit the throne."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the Prince of Zhennan showed a look of surprise. He hadn't expected that Lu Chen had already figured out what to do next.
Indeed, it would be somewhat unreasonable for them to rebel directly.
However, Ji Yunmeng is of royal blood after all. If we support her to ascend to the throne when the world is in chaos, others will not be able to say much.
When Lu Chen's child becomes emperor, the throne can be smoothly transferred to the Lu family. As for Lu Chen not wanting to be emperor, then so be it.
The Prince of Zhennan said, "I didn't expect Chen'er to already have a plan in mind. I'm relieved now."
Lu Chen continued, "There's one more thing."
At this point, Lu Chen turned to the person beside him and said, "Come out."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, a figure quickly appeared.
Upon seeing the old man beside Lu Chen, the Prince of Zhennan immediately became wary.
Although the old man concealed his aura, the Prince of Zhennan could still sense the danger he felt from the old man.
The Prince of Zhennan was, after all, a veteran of many battles, and his perception of the strong was still very keen.
He immediately judged that the old man who appeared next to Lu Chen was far stronger than the late Earth Realm.
Lu Chen then introduced, "Father, he is my protector, named Qu He, a Heavenly Realm Spirit Warrior."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhennan was completely stunned.
Celestial Realm Spirit Warrior?
Did he hear that right?
How could a Celestial Realm Spirit Warrior possibly appear in such a remote place as the Great Zhou?
He knew very well how difficult it was to break through from the late Earth Realm to the Heaven Realm; even the first Zhennan King could not take that step.
But Lu Chen is now telling him that there is a Heavenly Realm expert by his side, and that he is also his protector.
How could someone from the Heavenly Realm be willing to be Lu Chen's protector?
The Prince of Zhennan looked at Qu He and asked in confusion, "I wonder why you would protect my son, senior?"
The Prince of Zhennan did not doubt Qu He's level of cultivation, after all, the sense of danger that Qu He brought to him was real.
He just felt that a Heavenly Realm expert wouldn't willingly protect Lu Chen; there must be some ulterior motive.
This worried the Prince of Zhennan. If Qu He wanted to harm Lu Chen, the Prince of Zhennan's mansion would have no way to resist.
Upon hearing the question from the Prince of Zhennan, Qu He understood that the Prince of Zhennan was wary of him, so he took the initiative to cup his hands and said, "Your Highness, I am the Princess's man."
Upon hearing Qu He's words, the Prince of Zhennan was taken aback once again.
Although Qu He didn't specify which princess he was referring to, the fact that he mentioned the princess in front of him meant that he was referring to the Princess of Zhennan, who was also his wife.
How could he not know that his queen had subordinates from the Heavenly Realm?
However, the Prince of Zhennan quickly came to terms with it. His wife was capable of using extraordinary arts and possessed considerable strength. Furthermore, given the mystery surrounding her origins, it seemed normal for her to have subordinates at the Heavenly Realm.
In fact, when the Prince of Zhennan married the Princess of Zhennan, he suspected that her origins were unusual.
However, since the two had a deep affection for each other, he didn't press her about her background.
Now it seems she's probably the daughter of some powerful family.
Thinking of this possibility, the Prince of Zhennan finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Qu He did not harm Lu Chen, everything would be fine.
The Prince of Zhennan then looked at Lu Chen, sighed, and said, "So your mother had already paved the way for you."
In the eyes of the Prince of Zhennan, since his wife had already paved the way for Lu Chen, Lu Chen would most likely return to the family his wife belonged to, so Lu Chen would definitely look down on a remote dynasty like the Great Zhou.
For a moment, the Prince of Zhennan felt a sense of defeat.
As a man, he felt a blow to his pride at being unable to provide better conditions for his offspring.
However, he quickly adjusted, thinking that as long as his only son could have a better future, he could go wherever he wanted.
The Great Zhou is too small to contain a true dragon.
The Prince of Zhennan no longer intended to interfere in Lu Chen's affairs. He believed that Lu Chen already knew what to do, and he could completely let go.
Thinking of this, the Prince of Zhennan said to Lu Chen, "Chen'er, from now on, everything in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion is entrusted to you. Your father will no longer interfere in anything."
The Prince of Zhennan had said this to Lu Chen a long time ago, but later, as his health recovered, some matters of the Prince of Zhennan's mansion fell into his hands again, such as the reorganization of the Zhennan Army in his fiefdom.
Now that he knows Lu Chen has a Heavenly Realm expert by his side, and he understands that Lu Chen's vision is not limited to the Great Zhou, he is afraid that if he presumptuously does things for Lu Chen, he will end up holding Lu Chen back.
So he simply let go completely.
In fact, there are many powerful figures in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Even without him, with the help of those powerful figures, Lu Chen could easily manage the entire fiefdom.
Moreover, Lu Chen is already married, and with Ji Yunmeng and Bai Qingqing around, there's no need for anyone else to interfere with the Zhennan Prince's estate.
Lu Chen also sensed the disappointment in the Prince of Zhennan's tone, so he said, "Alright, I understand. Father, you really should put aside those trivial matters and take good care of your health."
Lu Chen didn't say this to seize power from the Prince of Zhennan; he had no interest in power anymore. He just wanted his adoptive father, the prince, to live a little longer.
While he was in the burial furnace, none of his "biological fathers" were easy to deal with; they all wanted to scheme against him. Only his father in this life treated him so well.
Although the Prince of Zhennan no longer intended to interfere in the affairs of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, he still asked curiously, "I wonder what Chen'er plans to do next?"
Judging from the current situation, internal strife within the Great Zhou Dynasty is a foregone conclusion.
They must consider how the Zhennan Prince's Mansion can establish itself on this land in the future.
Of course, with the protection of the Heavenly Realm experts around Lu Chen, even if they do nothing, they can still protect Guangling County.
However, if they really do nothing, and those monster kings break through to the Heavenly Realm, it won't be so easy to seal those monsters then.
Humans can communicate, but those supernatural beings cannot. Once those supernatural kings break through to the Heavenly Realm, they will definitely attack them. (End of Chapter)
