Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 141 That man is truly terrifying.

After returning to the palace from the barbarian captives' camp, Xiao Wenyao stayed in her room, lying on the bed listlessly, completely lost and motionless.

She now feels that her world has completely lost its color; everything in front of her is black and white, and her mind is blank.

She never imagined that her father would be so greedy as to poison even his own wife.

Her mother had grown up with him since childhood. If it were just an ordinary woman, it wouldn't matter, but they grew up together and then became husband and wife willingly.

Logically speaking, their feelings for each other should be incredibly deep, and she used to think so too.

However, all of this was just wishful thinking on her part.

At this moment, a faint sound reached Xiao Wenyao's ears, and the sound grew louder and louder, which finally brought Xiao Wenyao out of her dazed state.

Xiao Wenyao was taken aback when she heard the sound drifting in from outside the window.

What is that sound?

Xiao Wenyao quickly realized that she had heard such sounds more than once in a certain tent.

Every time her father captured a woman from Great Xia and took her to a certain tent, a similar sound would come from inside that tent. Although she was still a virgin, she knew where this sound came from.

Xiao Wenyao pricked up her ears and listened attentively.

She quickly recognized the voice as coming from Yelü Nanyan, who was in the room next to hers.

Xiao Wenyao was stunned. If it was Yelü Nanyan's voice, did that mean Lu Chen was torturing Yelü Nanyan in the next room?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenyao's face turned pale.

She had never been exposed to those things and didn't understand them. She only knew that women would make those sounds when they were being tortured by men.

After all, she had heard similar comments more than once or twice; this was her experience.

However, her experience was clearly insufficient, and Xiao Wenyao thought that Yelü Nanyan was making such a sound because she was in pain.

In Xiao Wenyao's view, if a person is not injured or in pain, how can they scream? A person can only make a miserable scream if they are injured and in pain.

The thought of being tortured by the Northern King like Yelü Nanyan made Xiao Wenyao's delicate body tremble involuntarily.

However, at this moment, Xiao Wenyao glanced at the lavishly decorated room and realized that after entering the Northern Prince's mansion, she would no longer have to live the life she had before, nor would she have to worry about being captured by that old man from the Northern Kingdom who never bathed.

Although she might be tortured by the Northern King, it would be similar to being a female slave for the Northern King in his tribe.

Furthermore, Xiao Wenyao had previously seen Wang Qingci, the Northern King's female slave, sitting on the courtyard wall and talking to the Northern King. This proved that even female slaves in the Northern King's mansion had a certain degree of freedom, unlike the slaves in their barbarian tribes who had to lower their heads when speaking and walking.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenyao felt a little better. Let the Northern King torment her; after all, women are meant to be tormented in front of men. Wasn't her mother the same way in her father's tent?

At this point, Xiao Wenyao had already accepted her possible fate.

She then continued to lie on the bed, staring blankly at the beams of the room.

After an unknown amount of time, sounds continued to come from the next room, and they grew increasingly louder.

Xiao Wenyao was immediately puzzled. Why did she always feel that the sound was not made because of pain?

If she had a wound, she might scream in pain, but she would never make such a melodious sound; it sounded more like a sound of joy and happiness.

Xiao Wenyao sat up in bed, wanting to go next door to see what was going on and how the Northern King was torturing Yelü Nanyan.

Xiao Wenyao harbors some resentment towards Yelü Nanyan. In her heart, if it weren't for Yelü Nanyan, her father might not have killed her mother to marry her, nor would he have attacked Beijun.

Hearing Yelü Nanyan's cry, Xiao Wenyao felt a strange sense of relief. She thought Yelü Nanyan deserved it, deserved to be tortured by the Northern King. She wanted to see how Yelü Nanyan had been tortured by the Northern King, so as to relieve her hatred.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenyao quietly left the room and went to the outside of the next room.

At this moment, Xiao Wenyao suddenly noticed that the window of the next room was wide open and not closed at all.

Xiao Wenyao saw this as an opportunity, so she immediately crouched down, went to the window, and quietly peered into the room.

Upon seeing the scene inside the room, Xiao Wenyao was deeply shocked.

For a moment, Xiao Wenyao felt her mind go blank. After an unknown amount of time, she finally came to her senses. Afraid of being discovered, she quickly returned to her room.

Back in her room, Xiao Wenyao was still not calm, her heart pounding wildly.

So that's how the Northern King tortured Yelü Nanyan?

very scary!

The thought of facing something similar in the future made Xiao Wenyao feel weak.

Time passed second by second.

The sun had gradually set, and a few stars and a faint moon appeared in the sky.

Meanwhile, Chu Qingli was patrolling the inner courtyard. She was already familiar with the patrol work in the inner courtyard. After each patrol, she would quickly find her sister's location to prevent her sister from being alone with Lu Chen.

In her opinion, the Northern King definitely had ulterior motives towards her sister; she could tell from the way he looked at her.

Therefore, she should know where her sister is, what she is doing, and whether she is alone with the Northern King at all times.

After passing through Wang Qingci's courtyard, Chu Qingli couldn't help but glance at the courtyard full of plum blossoms. She instantly recalled the commotion caused by Lu Chen doing something naughty in Wang Qingci's room not long ago.

Chu Qingli's face was cold, and she couldn't help but curse, "What an animal!"

After speaking, Chu Qingli continued walking towards the front courtyard to continue her patrol.

However, she had only taken a few steps when she heard a woman's voice coming from inside the courtyard.

Chu Qingli was taken aback.

She's been in the Northern Prince's residence for so long, how could she not know what's going on?

Chu Qingli turned her head and glanced at the courtyard in front of her, muttering again, "They really are livestock."

Chu Qingli knew that the Northern King had brought back two beautiful barbarian women and was keeping them locked up in this courtyard. Her sister had also reminded her to be careful of these two barbarian women, since they were both martial arts practitioners.

Upon hearing Yelü Nanyan's melodious voice, Chu Qingli thought to herself that her sister was obviously overthinking things. With that beast Lu Chen around, let alone a ninth-rank woman, even a grandmaster woman would become his plaything if she came to the palace. What energy or ulterior motives would they have left to cause trouble?

Chu Qingli then stopped thinking about it and quickly left the courtyard to avoid hearing those foul words.

It was evening.

As the sun gradually set, some stars and a faint moon appeared in the sky, and the crimson sunset bathed people's skin in a bronze hue.

Chu Qingli patrolled again to the courtyard where Yelü Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao were.

The inner courtyard of the Prince's mansion was not large, and Chu Qingli needed to patrol the same place dozens of times a day.

Just as Chu Qingli passed by the courtyard gate, she heard Yelü Nanyan's voice again.

Chu Qingli was speechless. Several hours had passed already, and that beast was still here.

Chu Qingli stopped thinking about it and left the affectionate courtyard again.

When Chu Qingli arrived at the North Courtyard, she ran into Mu Zixuan and the others. Mu Zixuan asked, "Qingli, have you seen the Prince?"

It's already dark. Normally, Lu Chen would be having dinner with them at this time, but the sun is about to set, and there's still no sign of him. We don't know where he's gone.

Chu Qingli replied, "Your Highness, the Prince is currently in the rooms of those two barbarian ladies, and it's highly unlikely he'll be coming over tonight."

Upon hearing Chu Qingli's words, Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou instantly understood what was going on.

Mu Zixuan said, "Since the prince isn't coming, let's not wait any longer and start eating."

Yelü Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao had just been brought back by Lu Chen, and Lu Chen would definitely want to cultivate a relationship with them. Given Lu Chen's abilities, he certainly wouldn't leave tonight, so Mu Zixuan didn't plan to wait for Lu Chen to come any longer.

at the same time.

Xiao Wenyao lay on the bed, covering her ears with her hands, trying to block out the sounds coming from the window.

She was terrified. In the past, when she saw her father torment the women of Great Xia he brought back, they would come out of their tents in less than half an hour.

However, several hours have passed since the Northern King went to Yelü Nanyan's room, and he still hasn't come out.

terrible!

The thought of experiencing the same thing in the future made Xiao Wenyao tremble.

However, Xiao Wenyao felt something strange. Why was she feeling both fear and restlessness? She suddenly had the idea of ​​having the Northern King torture her.

Xiao Wenyao felt that she had already been enslaved by the Northern King even before she had come into contact with him. She actually thought about letting the Northern King torture her, just like he tortured Yelü Nanyan.

Xiao Wenyao shook her head, trying to banish these inappropriate thoughts from her mind.

Tonight is going to be a very long night.

The moon in the sky grew brighter and brighter, then was obscured by dark clouds. As time passed, the moon reappeared in the sky.

After the moon was repeatedly obscured by dark clouds, a sliver of white light finally appeared on the horizon, the sun came out again, and the moon became faintly visible once more.

early morning.

Xiao Wenyao was lying face down on the bed, with thick dark circles around her eyes and messy hair, looking like an animal with its fur standing on end.

Xiao Wenyao felt like she was about to collapse.

One night!

She didn't sleep a wink all night!

Although it wasn't continuous, noises would occasionally drift in through the window, waking her up just as she was about to fall asleep.

That person is absolutely terrifying!

Xiao Wenyao closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: she must serve the Prince of the North well in the future and not make him angry, otherwise she would probably be tormented by him for a whole night.

……

At this moment, the warm sunlight outside the window shone through the windowsill and into the room, illuminating the people inside.

Lu Chen lay on the soft, large cushion and checked his system notifications.

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring a concubine. Reward: 100,000 jin of cultivated sweet potatoes.]

[The host cultivates feelings with Yelü Nanyan once, gaining 500 experience points for the Qi Refining Technique and 500 experience points for the Rejuvenating Hand Technique, and 0 experience points for the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique. The host triggers an emotional critical hit, gaining an additional 1500 experience points each for the Qi Refining Technique and the Rejuvenating Hand Technique.]

Upon seeing the system notification, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile slightly.

At this moment, Lu Chen's chest was still pressed against Yelü Nanyan's jade-like back, and Lu Chen had no intention of getting up at all.

No matter how crazy he and Wang Qingci were, they had never indulged themselves like this.

Yelü Nanyan is already in her thirties, while Lu Chen is only a teenager.

The two met at the most intense age, so it goes without saying what would happen.

Suddenly, Lu Chen sensed that Yelü Nanyan seemed to move slightly. Lu Chen suddenly remembered something and glanced at Yelü Nanyan's favorability rating.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chen was immediately stunned.

Yelü Nanyan's favorability rating towards her has reached 95!

It should be noted that Yelü Nanyan had never drunk the Dragon and Phoenix Tea before, and in just one night, Yelü Nanyan's favorability towards her skyrocketed to 95.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. He used the Rejuvenation Hand many times, which can quickly heal a person's injuries.

In other words, Yelü Nanyan did not feel any discomfort at all. Under such circumstances, it would have been impossible for Yelü Nanyan's favorability towards him not to increase.

At this moment, Yelü Nanyan felt that the person on her back had woken up. She said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will become pregnant with your child?"

Lu Chen whispered in her ear, "Why should I be afraid?"

Yelü Nanyan said, "I am a barbarian woman. If I were to become pregnant with your child, I'm afraid many people would gossip about it."

"Furthermore, if our child is born, he might also face all sorts of cold treatment. Does Your Highness want to see your child looked down upon like Your Highness was when he was a child?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "You can rest assured that apart from the imperial power, I treat all my children equally. Even the child you give birth to will have a happy childhood, unlike the one I had when I was a child."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yelü Nanyan asked in disbelief, "Is Your Highness truly telling the truth?"

Lu Chen then slapped her on the buttocks and said, "What do you think I brought you back for? You don't really think I just want to use you as a slave, do you?"

"With a body as healthy as yours, wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't give me a few children?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yelü Nanyan's face flushed slightly. Yelü Nanyan finally understood why Lu Chen had been so unrestrained towards her yesterday. This guy hadn't separated from her yet and had been holding her the whole time.
