"You will come with me to conquer other lands and be my subordinate."
Li Mengdie, however, directly shook her head and said, "Don't even think about that plan. You've already proposed it, and I refused. Why do you keep bringing it up?"
As she spoke, Li Mengdie appeared somewhat indignant. Clearly, she had initially held some expectations for Chu Chen's idea.
If a perfect solution could be found to resolve this matter, it would naturally be a good thing for her.
But Chu Chen's current approach clearly showed he wasn't looking for a resolution.
Chu Chen quickly waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's not like that. My plan is different from what I said before."
"Now, listen to me and do as I command."
"Follow me to conquer other countries, and you can become a king and ruler there."
"As for what happens afterwards, it will be up to us to decide. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Mengdie was taken aback, and her heart began to struggle intensely.
Chu Chen's idea was definitely beneficial to her. At the very least, it would avoid overly aggressive confrontation.
Moreover, Yun Yue Country was too small. If she could conquer other countries and become a ruler there, the territory she could control would be much larger than Yun Yue Country.
Perhaps her domain would eventually be larger than Li Xin Yue's.
At that point, it wouldn't be certain who was stronger.
However, upon further thought, how easy would it be to establish another emperor from land that had been conquered?
It was even possible that she might still be subject to Li Xin Yue's authority, which was not good news for Li Mengdie.
"You're just painting a rosy picture for me. You want me to work for Li Xin Yue, and it's uncertain whether the conquered territories will even be mine."
Chu Chen heard this and immediately became anxious, "One must eat one bite at a time. Besides, didn't you say before that only land conquered by oneself has meaning?"
"Since you are so eager to prove your capabilities, why not go and achieve great deeds?"
"If you conquer such vast territories, even if others don't want to give you the land, they might not be able to refuse, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mengdie's eyes darted, and her mind raced.
What Chu Chen said had some logic. If she truly conquered so much land, even Li Xin Yue might not have the ability to prevent her from becoming an emperor.
After all, whose capabilities were superior would be obvious, and there would be no need for further discussion.
"This is as good as giving me nothing. My position will still have to be fought for by myself."
Chu Chen heard this and couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head.
"Then I can't ask His Majesty to abdicate, can I? Instead of waiting for His Majesty to yield the position, it's better for you to strive for it yourself. You might actually get it, don't you think?"
Li Mengdie pondered, and what Chu Chen said did have some truth to it.
If this matter continued to be at a stalemate, it was likely that no one would benefit.
Since that was the case, she would go along with it.
However, on the surface, Li Mengdie still didn't want Chu Chen to get his way so easily.
"I don't agree to this condition. In any case, I won't let you have it easy."
"If you manage to convince me, you'll be the one who benefits, right?"
Li Mengdie sized up Chu Chen, her gaze eventually settling on a certain part of his body.
Chu Chen immediately felt as if he were being provoked.
"Your Highness, you are playing with fire. Think about where we are. If you play with fire here, you definitely won't be able to control it."
Chu Chen said to Li Mengdie in a sinister tone.
Hearing this, Li Mengdie immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly waved her hands, saying.
"Wait, everything I just said was intentional. I'm not joking with you anymore. I agree."
Li Mengdie could see the aggression in Chu Chen's eyes, and she certainly couldn't joke with him like that anymore.
Moreover, she couldn't even move at the moment. If Chu Chen had any intentions, she could only be at his mercy.
Hearing Li Mengdie's thoughts, Chu Chen was stunned, and then he became somewhat angry.
"Fine, so you were deliberately trying to anger me just now, weren't you?"
Now Chu Chen was a little upset.
"In that case, if I don't teach you a good lesson, I'll be letting down all your efforts to anger me."
Chu Chen stared at Li Mengdie with a puffed-up expression. At first, it was nothing, but the more he looked, the more flustered Li Mengdie felt.
"What do you want to do? Chu Chen, I'm warning you, be careful. This is my mother's imperial bedchamber."
Chu Chen secretly chuckled to himself, What about your mother's imperial bedchamber? I've already taken your mother, am I still afraid of you?
Of course, he couldn't say such things to Li Mengdie, or she might really fight him to the death.
"Li Mengdie, others might be afraid of you, but I'm not. Don't forget, you are mine now."
Chu Chen slowly approached Li Mengdie. Just as he was about to unblock her acupoints, he suddenly remembered that the Empress had also blocked his acupoints last time.
A hint of mischief arose in Chu Chen, so he didn't unblock Li Mengdie's acupoints.
Chu Chen removed Li Mengdie's shoes and saw a pair of delicate and smooth small feet.
Li Mengdie said with a trembling voice, "Chu Chen, can you not?"
"You are betrothed to Li Xin Yue. Can you betray her?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell her about this?"
Hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but spank Li Mengdie again, causing her to cry out.
"What do you want to do? Stop!"
Li Mengdie suddenly screamed, startled.
Chu Chen sneered, "Don't you know what I want to do? We've done this before, haven't we?"
After speaking, Chu Chen spanked her again fiercely, then proceeded to undress her layer by layer.
Li Mengdie, unable to move, could only close her eyes in resignation.
Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, tracing down her face.
"Chu Chen, if you force me like this, I will make you pay the price."
Chu Chen sneered and said, "You still don't understand where you went wrong. If you hadn't threatened me repeatedly, why would I have been forced to do this?"
Saying this, Chu Chen spanked her butt hard, then took off his own shoes.
An hour later, Chu Chen unblocked Li Mengdie's acupoints. At this moment, although Li Mengdie wished she could kill Chu Chen, she had no strength left.
"I will remember you. I will definitely make you pay the price."
Li Mengdie said fiercely.
Chu Chen nodded and sneered, "Very good. But remember to use your true qi to expel my essence, otherwise, if there's a child, I might not take responsibility."
