Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 411: Love Troubles the King

The carriages and horses sped along the way, and the dust they raised gradually dissipated behind them.

The group kept on going and finally found a roadside inn before nightfall.

At the inn's entrance, the waiter saw a magnificent carriage slowly pull up from afar. He hurried forward with a broad smile on his face, and said in a clear and loud voice, "Hey, gentlemen, are you planning to stop by or stay the night?"

Su Ran was the first to get off the carriage, his posture straight and his eyes steady. He glanced at the waiter and said, "Stay in the hotel. Give us six rooms."

The waiter's smile froze for a moment, and then he showed an embarrassed expression, scratched his head and said, "I'm really sorry, everyone, we only have three upper rooms and one lower room left in our store."

After saying this, the waiter looked around at everyone with his eyes, and then cautiously suggested, "But there are couches in the upper rooms. Perhaps you could consider sharing a room?"

Su Ran nodded slightly, as if he had expected this situation. He turned around, put his arm around Nangong Qi's shoulders, and said familiarly, "Then please, Master Qi, sleep with me!"

Nangong Qi's face flushed red upon hearing this. He glared at Su Ran with shame and anger, slapped his hands away with both hands, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Who wants to sleep with you!"

But Su Ran acted as if she didn't hear him and continued to pull him with a smile. The two of them played and joked all the way. He took the room card from Xiao Er and walked upstairs arm in arm.

Chu Fengmian looked at Luo Lingchen, a meaningful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "Emperor Luo, let's find a place to talk?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Lingchen subconsciously glanced at Shen Li, and seeing that she was talking to Chu Qiu, he retracted his gaze and looked at Chu Fengmian with a hint of vigilance in his tone: "Okay! Master, that's exactly what I meant." The two looked at each other and walked upstairs together, their footsteps echoing on the wooden stairs.

Fusheng walked forward silently, picked up the doorplate of the lower room from the table. His thin figure revealed his calmness, and he turned and walked towards the guest room.

Chu Qiu held the bag tightly and followed Shen Li like a little tail, returning to their room step by step.

Chu Fengmian was the first to enter the room, walking straight towards the couch and sitting down casually, as if he were at home. He leaned back on the couch and said casually, "I know you are also a soul from another world."

When Luo Lingchen heard this, his heart was shocked and the expression on his face froze instantly.

But he soon regained his composure and thought to himself, with Chu Fengmian's ability, he couldn't hide Shen Li's many secrets, so how could he be an exception?

Thinking of this, he silently walked to a chair beside him, slowly sat down, looked at Chu Fengmian calmly, and prepared to listen to what he was going to say next.

Chu Fengmian stretched his limbs lazily, as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and continued, "I know in my heart that you are also an ambitious person.

However, you did not come to this point voluntarily, but were forced by circumstances. Otherwise, how could you give up the supreme throne and come to find Shen Li at all costs! "

Luo Lingchen nodded slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "Whether Li'er becomes the Empress or not, I don't really care. What I really care about is whether she will..."

At this point, he seemed to muster up great courage, took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "Will she have many concubines like my mother?"

When Chu Fengmian heard this, he was stunned at first, then he threw his head back and burst into laughter.

The laughter echoed in the room and lasted for a long time before he stopped laughing and said jokingly, "I was thinking about finding an opportunity to be the empress's bedmate in the future! Look at you, my lord, you are almost overflowing with jealousy. I'd better give up this idea for now! Hahahaha"

After laughing for a while, Chu Fengmian seemed to suddenly think of something and couldn't help laughing again.

Soon, he saw Luo Lingchen's hands clenched tightly from exertion, and realized that he had gone too far in his joke. He quickly suppressed his smile and said seriously, "You've asked the wrong person about this matter. Although I know most things in the world, it's really hard to say about the affairs of this concubine. I'm afraid everything depends on Shen Li's thoughts!"

Luo Lingchen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

Chu Fengmian sat up slightly, put away some of his playful expression, and became serious. He slowly said, "If Shen Li feels that accepting a concubine can maintain peace and stability among all forces and ensure the smoothness of her future rule, then she may make the choice to sacrifice her own feelings. After all, in her philosophy, perhaps the overall situation is more important."

He paused, looking at Luo Lingchen, and continued, "You may not understand her very well yet. Shen Li is not the kind of woman who would live for just one person. She has her own grand ambitions and ideals. Feelings are certainly important to her, but at certain critical moments, she may make some decisions that seem difficult to others in order to achieve greater goals. You must be mentally prepared for this."

After Luo Lingchen finished talking with Chu Fengmian, he felt even more blocked in his heart! He was unwilling to give up Shen Li, but he was also unwilling to share her with others.

At this moment, his heart was filled with uncertainty about his feelings for Shen Li. After all, even the intimacy was deceived by him.
