Chapter 1824: Chapter 425: Chen 94’s Harem Strife! (Part 3)

This is also Chen Jie’s favor to Su Yunjin. To be in charge of education is to be in charge of the future. When these students hold great power in the future, they will all be staunch supporters of the Empress and the Crown Prince Chen Li.

In this way, Su Yunjin’s status will be unshakable, and it is the best protection Chen Jie can offer to this humble wife.

"The suggestion is good, but currently our army uses the cipher of pinyin, so I fear that if the study of pinyin spreads too widely, our army’s codes will be easily deciphered by the enemy in the future."

Chen Jie laughed at these words and said, "That’s simple, we can still use cipher methods."

"What are cipher methods?"

Su Yunjin was puzzled and asked. Chen Jie explained, "It’s about finding a book, agreeing on a few words, and the word represents which page, which line, which word..."

Chen Jie explained some other encryption methods to Su Yunjin.

Su Yunjin listened with great interest, and at this moment, Chen Jie reacted and looked at Su Yunjin, saying, "Alright, am I here to discuss work with you?"

As he spoke, he pulled Su Yunjin into his arms. Su Yunjin exclaimed in surprise, wanting to struggle.

Chen Jie said, "Don’t move, let me see if this wound has healed."

Su Yunjin said, "Husband, don’t look anymore."

"Hmm, what’s wrong with you, how come someone is outside, and you won’t let me touch you?"

Su Yunjin said, "I mean, you’ve just been with Sister Huang, can your body take it?"

Chen Jie chuckled and said, "Wife, thanks to the Melt God Realm powerhouse!"

Su Yunjin’s eyes lit up and said, "I know, the strongest martial art is Earthly Immortal, followed by Melt God Realm. Husband has reached Melt God?"

Chen Jie said, "Indeed, wife is truly intelligent. But were you doubting the physical prowess of a Melt God Realm warrior just now? Today, I must let you see your husband’s might."

"Ah, husband..."

The red candle flickers, and the spring breeze caresses.

Afterward, Chen Jie embraced Su Yunjin from behind. Su Yunjin wanted to move, but Chen Jie said, "Don’t move, let me help you with the circulation and enhance your vitality."

Indeed, Chen Jie was using the Chang Chun Skill to adjust Su Yunjin’s body. Hearing this, Su Yunjin obediently stayed in his embrace. Soon, her body was covered with a fragrant sweat, her complexion became rosy, and she felt unprecedented comfort.

The sickness vanished from her body.

While holding her like this, Chen Jie said, "Yunjin, in a few days, I need to go to Longxing Prefecture!"

Su Yunjin was surprised and quickly said, "Hmm."

Chen Jie said, "Aren’t you going to ask what I’m going for?"

Su Yunjin said, "Naturally, husband is busy with great matters; I don’t ask, just hope husband returns safely."

"I’m going to prepare to bring the Commandery Princess back."

Chen Jie spoke, and Su Yunjin paused slightly upon hearing it, then said, "Of course. For someone like the Commandery Princess, giving up the current Empress’s position for you shows profound feelings beyond what I can compare. If husband needs, I can let her take the position of the legal wife."

Chen Jie was taken aback and said, "If you give up the position of the legal wife to her, what will you do?"

Su Yunjin said, "I can do whatever, as long as husband is well, I don’t mind."

"How can you not mind?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie actually felt a trace of anger swelling in his heart.

Su Yunjin seemed to hear the resentment in Chen Jie’s voice and said, "Husband, don’t get angry, I’m doing everything for your good. The Commandery Princess has a noble status, born from the Wang Family, and is highly capable. She will surely be a great help on your path forward, unlike me, who can’t help husband much. So the legal wife’s position should be given to her."

Chen Jie said, "How can you think like this? Is the bond we’ve formed through hardships less meaningful than the mere title of Commandery Princess?"

Su Yunjin said, "Husband, the Commandery Princess gave up even the Empress’s position for you. Do you intend to marry her just to be a concubine?"

Chen Jie was momentarily speechless and then said half-heartedly, "And you can be a concubine?"

Heh~

Su Yunjin bitterly smiled and said, "Little family background like mine, neither exalted in status nor acclaimed in reputation, being by husband’s side is a great favor. What harm in being a concubine? As long as husband treats me sincerely, I don’t care about any status. Could it be more difficult than the hard times in Xiantao Village back then?"

Silence...

A long silence prevailed. Just as Su Yunjin felt her words might have angered Chen Jiusi, suddenly she felt Chen Jie hugging her more tightly.

Su Yunjin is sometimes so sensible it makes one’s heart ache. Chen Jie knew he couldn’t push her further or say any more. He could only hug her tighter, respond to her, and said in the most strict and firm tone, "You, Su Yunjin, will always be my legal wife. If I am the sun, you are the moon. This is the immortal truth!"

"But husband!"

Su Yunjin wanted to say something, but Chen Jie said, "I understand your thoughts, but you’d better forget them all. Remember, husband has fought through life and death to climb to today’s position, all to be able to act freely. If a goal keeps me from being who I want to be, then it’s not what husband seeks."

"You, Wan’er, and the Commandery Princess are all important women in my life. I can’t abandon any of you, nor do I want to see any of you suffer for me, especially you, do you understand?"

Su Yunjin was silent.

Chen Jie said, "Answer me, do you understand?"

Su Yunjin’s eyes reddened. How could she not know husband’s favoritism towards her? But the arrival of the Commandery Princess was a significant pressure on her.

The Commandery Princess, she is a noble lady of the royal palace. How could Su Yunjin not know her own status?

Why would she contend for favor? Huang Wan’er is also a woman with a tough life, but the Commandery Princess is the daughter of the Ruyang King, ruling the eighty-one prefectures of the Five Routes of Jiangnan, a current Prince.

A true brother of the Emperor himself.

The Commandery Princess was close to becoming the Empress, how could she properly position herself?

Su Yunjin knows Chen Jiusi likes her and understands his preference, which is why knowing and understanding these things makes her realize one thing, that is Chen Jie will certainly not harm her.

But such a noble figure returning home as a concubine...

Even if the Commandery Princess was willing, would her father, that Prince, allow his daughter to be a concubine, it’s impossible.

Given the power and strength of the Ruyang King, if her husband were to become his enemy, it would be catastrophic.

And the reason for all of this is because of her, how could she let her husband sacrifice so much for her!

Thus, Su Yunjin is unwilling.

She doesn’t want Chen Jie to be harmed because of her and even doesn’t wish to be a small hindrance on Chen Jie’s path to great achievements.

That is why she decided to sacrifice herself. What she said earlier was from the heart; she’s willing to relinquish the position of legal wife, just be a concubine, or even without a title at Chen Jie’s side, she is willing.

She knows she has limited abilities, maybe not able to be a help to husband but definitely can’t be a hindrance.

No one can be a hindrance to husband.

Although Su Yunjin had her back to him, how could Chen Jie not understand her intentions? Precisely because he understood this heavy kindness, Chen Jie wants to give her the most resolute rejection.

I, Chen Jiusi, want to live this life without guilt, to be free, and in love, I will not compromise at all.

At this moment, Chen Jie hugged Su Yunjin and said, "Wife, can I discuss something with you!"

Su Yunjin said, "Husband, please speak."

"In a few days, I will marry Zhao Ya. At that time, I hope we can change some rules. With more people in the backyard, I don’t want there to be any difference in rank among you. You are all my wives, each one is important, so your status is equal, whether internally or externally, all the same, okay?"

Su Yunjin was silent for a moment, then spoke and said, "I have no issues, just what about the Commandery Princess?"

Chen Jie said, "I’ll discuss everything, and she will agree."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Won’t that be too unjust to the Commandery Princess?"

Chen Jie said, "It won’t be unfair at all. Your family husband is going to be Emperor, by then you will all be Empresses."

"Nonsense, when has there been four Empresses under heaven?"

Su Yunjin laughed, she didn’t question Chen Jie’s ambition of becoming Emperor at all, completely trusting him.

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Why not, during the Spring and Autumn period weren’t there East Palace Lady and West Palace Lady?"

"Let’s also have one Eastern Palace Empress, Western Palace Empress, Southern Palace Empress..."

Chen Jie said, upon hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Then how come there are only three palaces, does husband want to find someone else to be the North Palace Empress!"

Chen Jie thought about it upon hearing it and said, "We’ll talk about it later, I feel there’s no woman who weighs more than you three in my mind now, as for North Palace, we can do without. When we grow old, we’ll find a place devoid of people to live our days peacefully. The country I conquer will go to Li’er..."

Chen Jie painted a picture of a beautiful future for Su Yunjin, and Su Yunjin listened quietly, at this moment life seemed serene.

After a while, Su Yunjin said, "Husband, when will you go to fetch the Commandery Princess?"

Chen Jie said, "In three to four days, there are still some matters to deal with in Huangzhou Prefecture!"
