More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Upon hearing Xiao Qi's words, Ji Yunmeng fell into deep thought, her slender fingers stroking the teacup.

The more difficulties the Prince of Zhennan's mansion encounters, the better it is for her, because it is an opportunity for her to bestow favors. Only by helping the Prince of Zhennan's mansion when it is in trouble can she more easily control it, and then she can use the Prince of Zhennan's mansion's influence to do her own thing.

After pondering for a while, Ji Yunmeng said to Xiao Qi, "Go to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion tomorrow and tell Lu Chen that if there is anything he needs from me, he can send someone to tell me directly."

Xiao Qi replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

At this moment, Xiao Qi suddenly thought of something and reminded her, "Your Highness, based on the information we have so far, Prince Lu does not seem to be a playboy. He was able to find all the spies from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, so he may have some special abilities."

"It is said that he learned a skill of judging people, and could distinguish who was loyal and who was a traitor."

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Ji Yunmeng said dismissively, "This is just a smokescreen from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to deceive outsiders. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion wants to use this method to deter those forces that covet the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and prevent them from continuing to send spies into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

Ji Yunmeng didn't believe that Lu Chen knew any skills of judging people. She had only heard of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's Qi Observation Technique, but had never heard of any skills of judging people. If such a technique really existed, it must be in the hands of the royal family, and specifically in the hands of Emperor Zhou. How could it possibly appear in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?

Ji Yunmeng continued, "Even though the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has declined, it still has some resources. Perhaps the Zhennan Prince's Mansion's secret guards had already found out about those spies, but they just used Lu Chen to point it out."

In Ji Yunmeng's view, even if there really is a technique called "people recognition", it should be similar to "aura observation". People who can use aura observation are generally from the Taoist sect and are relatively strong.

However, Lu Chen is only a mortal-level spiritual martial artist, so how could he possibly use such a technique? Therefore, it is highly likely that this is a smokescreen created by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

This would serve two purposes: firstly, it would deter certain forces from engaging in any further mischief at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion; secondly, it would make Lu Chen appear capable and not the spoiled brat people used to describe. As a result, those who had been disappointed with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion might look forward to the day when it would rise to prominence again.

The biggest crisis facing the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is not actually the death of the Zhennan Prince, but rather that after his death, the powerful figures of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will completely lose faith in the mansion and believe that it will soon decline. As a result, those powerful figures of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion may leave the mansion prematurely, thus accelerating its decline.

If those Earth Realm experts from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion remained in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion after his death and remained loyal to it, then the Zhennan Prince's Mansion could easily continue for several hundred more years.

Therefore, the most important thing for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion now is to give those powerful people hope, to give them hope of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion rising again.

After Lu Chen lost his memory, he not only became a mortal-level spiritual martial artist overnight on his wedding night, but also mastered a technique that could identify traitors. This was a sign of great prosperity for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Under these circumstances, those powerful figures who originally planned to leave the Zhennan Prince's Mansion might decide to stay temporarily and continue to protect the mansion for some time.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Ji Yunmeng's face. If she could gain the support of the powerful figures in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, it would greatly increase her chances of success.

……

Even though strange and evil spirits still appear in the capital from time to time, the city's nights are still very lively.

The brothel was filled with a festive atmosphere, its walls adorned with pink lanterns. Graceful women filled the air, their voices echoing throughout the red-light district. Beneath this red-light district lay a vast underground palace. Below the brothel, Drunken Moon Pavilion, lay the headquarters of the Blood Cloud Tower.

Inside the underground palace, the oil lamps on the walls were burning with green flames, making the entire underground palace feel extremely gloomy and terrifying.

Above a large hall, there was a chair made of bones, and a burly man with bare shoulders sat on the bone chair.

Inside the main hall, a group of elders from the Blood Cloud Tower were listening to a report from a scout in the center of the hall.

After a while, once the scouts finished their report, one of the elders said loudly, "What medicine? In my opinion, we should just get rid of Lu Chen. Once Lu Chen is dead, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will be extinct. Once the Prince of Zhennan dies, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will be completely wiped out, and our revenge will be complete!"

The person who spoke was named Wenren Ce, who was at the early stage of the Profound Realm and was one of the core elders of the Blood Cloud Tower.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the Blood Cloud Tower have a deep-seated blood feud. The Blood Cloud Tower's headquarters used to be located on the fiefdom of the Zhennan Prince. Before the fiefdom was abolished, the Zhennan Prince led his troops to massacre the entire Blood Cloud Tower headquarters. Most of the Blood Cloud Tower's elite troops died in that siege.

The assassins of Blood Cloud Tower were always thinking about revenge, especially the elders. However, they also knew that even though the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had declined and even though the Zhennan Prince had passed away, their entire Blood Cloud Tower was no match for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion has more than one Earth Realm expert, while the entire Blood Cloud Tower only has one Earth Realm expert. If they go to attack the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, they are courting death.

However, they were also thinking that since they couldn't directly destroy the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, they should find a way to get rid of Lu Chen. As long as the Zhennan Prince's lineage ended, the experts in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion would leave sooner or later. After those experts left, they could go to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and slaughter them. That way, they could avenge their great grudge.

Upon hearing Wenren Ce's words, a man in a white robe holding a long spear said, "This is a mission for a prince of the royal family; it's not something we can mess around with."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Ce snorted and said, "Reckless? What reckless? We Blood Cloud Tower have not yet avenged our great grudge. Are we just going to keep waiting like this?"

At this point, Wenren Ce saw the Blood Cloud Tower Master sitting on the bone chair.

"Hey, what do you think? Shouldn't we get rid of Lu Chen?"

Upon hearing Wenren Ce's words, Zhou Jin asked, "Do you think Lu Chen is so easy to kill?"

Hearing Zhou Jin's question, Wenren Ce said, "He's just a piece of trash. If Xue Shi hadn't drugged Lu Chen this time, but had directly assassinated him, he might have already succeeded."

Zhou Jin glanced at Wenren Ce and then said, "I know your brother died at the hands of the Prince of Zhennan, and you want revenge, but Lu Chen won't die anytime soon."

Upon hearing Zhou Jin's words, Wenren Ce paused for a moment, then asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is that?" (End of Chapter)
