Just as Lu Chen was about to enter the Harem, a Quasi-Emperor guard suddenly blocked his way.
"Your Highness, this is the forbidden area of the Harem. Without a decree from His Majesty, no one is allowed to enter!"
This...
Lu Chen was momentarily stunned. Regaining his composure, he prepared to make a move. However, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he refrained and instead spoke sternly, "Do you not see that the enemies have already invaded the Imperial Palace?"
"If enemies enter the Harem and kill my father's women, when my father holds someone accountable, who will bear the responsibility?"
At this point, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and continued, "I heard that my father has been especially fond of the Empress lately. The remnants of the Baicang Dynasty attacking the Imperial Palace are clearly targeting the Empress. If anything happens to her, your entire clan won't be enough to pay for it!"
