When Lu Chen and Li Qingrou left the bathhouse, night had fully fallen.
The two returned to Jinluan Hall, but this time they were dressed, and the scraps of cloth that had littered the floor of the hall had been cleaned up.
However, Lu Chen still did not let go. Even after they had dressed, Lu Chen was still holding Li Qingrou, letting her sit on his lap.
After several days of Lu Chen's torment, Li Qingrou, a Celestial, was now exhausted. She was slumped in Lu Chen's arms, her expression indifferent but her cheeks flushed, her face full of charm.
At this time, Lu Chen said to the female guards outside, "Report on the situation in Great Qian."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's order, a female guard entered Jinluan Hall and immediately said, "Currently, the Qian Emperor has passed away, and the Daqian Crown Prince is young, so the Daqian Empress now has full control over Great Qian. Everything in Great Qian is under the Empress's say."
