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

Chapter 156 Chen Wanrong's Problem

From the day she joined Xuan Yue Palace, Chen Wanrong had been thinking about restoring her country, but the Great Xia army was strong and powerful, and it was impossible to restore the country in a short period of time.

But then the opportunity came.

If the war between Great Xia and Great Wu continues for a few more years, Great Xia's national strength will be almost exhausted. If they then gather the forces that were formerly part of Chen, there will be a great chance of them successfully restoring their country.

Lin Wanyun naturally saw through Chen Wanrong's thoughts, but she still reminded Chen Wanrong, "Palace Master, the elders of Xuan Yue Palace have sent people to remind us many times to return to Xuan Yue Palace. If we don't go back, I'm afraid..."

Although Chen Wanrong is the palace master of Xuan Yue Palace, Xuan Yue Palace is not ruled by Chen Wanrong alone. The real big shots of Xuan Yue Palace are the elders behind the scenes.

Chen Wanrong was able to become the palace master because she had extremely high martial arts talent, but that did not mean that she could do whatever she wanted.

Lin Wanyun directly brought up the elders, mainly to remind Chen Wanrong that if Chen Wanrong wanted to restore the country, those elders would very likely oppose it.

As the master of Xuan Yue Palace, she went to restore her kingdom, and even used the power of Xuan Yue Palace. How could the elders of Xuan Yue Palace accept this?

Moreover, Xuan Yue Palace rarely interferes in the affairs of the major dynasties, nor does it want to get involved in their messy affairs. Few people in Xuan Yue Palace know the purpose of Chen Wanrong's descent from the mountain this time.

Upon hearing Lin Wanyun's reminder, Chen Wanrong said calmly, "I will hurry up and plant the love potion on the Northern King. After planting the love potion, I will first return to Xuan Yue Palace, and then go down the mountain again."

If she could plant the love potion in Lu Chen, then Lu Chen would be under her control from now on, and she wouldn't need to stay in Beijun forever.

The reason she's still staying in Beijun is because she can't find an opportunity to use the love potion on Lu Chen.

After all, Lu Chen had far too many women, and they were all stunningly beautiful. With so many gorgeous women in his harem, it was normal for him not to be interested in her.

She needs to be more proactive.

However, she had never pursued men before and did not know how to make men fall in love with her. She would simply go wherever she was, and the men in that place would fall in love with her after seeing her appearance. She did not need to deliberately seduce a man at all.

Chen Wanrong was certain that Lu Chen had feelings for her, but Lu Chen was too good at controlling his desires.

To be precise, he didn't suppress his desires, but rather because his desires could be released at any time and wouldn't accumulate in his heart.

In this way, he no longer needed to pursue her, a woman who clearly had designs on him.

Thinking of this, Chen Wanrong looked at Lin Wanyun and then asked, "Aunt Lin, do you know how to make a man fall in love with you?"

Upon hearing Chen Wanrong's question, Lin Wanyun was stunned.

How to make a man like you?

She's already in her thirties and has never had an intimate or ambiguous relationship with that man. How could she possibly know how to make a man like her?

However, Lin Wanyun guessed why Chen Wanrong would ask this question. Then Lin Wanyun said, "Palace Master, I think that with your beauty, even if you do nothing, the Northern King will still fall for you."

Chen Wanrong said softly, "I need to make him fall in love with me as soon as possible."

This……

Lin Wanyun then said, "Palace Master, I don't know much about men."

Hearing Lin Wanyun's words, Chen Wanrong stopped talking. She also realized that Lin Wanyun had never actively seduced other men. Like herself, she had no experience in this area, so asking her would be useless.

Just as Chen Wanrong was pondering how to make Lu Chen fall for her, a disciple of Xuan Yue Palace knocked on the door and said, "Palace Master, there are new developments at the Northern Prince's Mansion."

Chen Wanrong said coldly, "Come in."

The next moment, a disciple from the Xuan Yue Palace entered the private room.

Chen Wanrong asked, "What is it?"

The disciple hurriedly reported, "The Northern King has gone to the northern lands, saying he is going to resist the Northern Xian King's southward advance. He has also sent a red-silk messenger to the court to request aid. War is about to break out in the Northern Prefecture again."

Upon hearing the first report, both Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were taken aback.

Chen Wanrong was just thinking about how to seduce Lu Chen when, in the next moment, Lu Chen ran off to the north.

Wouldn't that waste a lot of time?

Or perhaps she went to the North with her?

If that's the case, then her intentions are too obvious, and Lu Chen will definitely be more wary of her.

The biggest problem in getting Lu Chen to fall in love with her is that Lu Chen is too wary and always on guard against her, which is why she has no chance to get into Lu Chen's heart.

If she does anything unnecessary, Lu Chen will be even more wary of her.

Therefore, she definitely cannot go to the North.

only……

She will probably have to wait a long time in Beijun before she can plant the love potion on Lu Chen.

She could wait, but if she didn't return to Xuan Yue Palace for so long, the elders there would definitely be even more dissatisfied with her.

Thinking about this, Chen Wanrong finally came up with a solution.

"Aunt Lin, you can stay in Beijun. I'm going back to Xuan Yue Palace."

Upon hearing Chen Wanrong's decision, Lin Wanyun said, "Okay."

Lin Wanyun also agreed that Chen Wanrong should return to Xuan Yue Palace first, since they had been away for several months and the two of them had not made any progress.

At first, they misjudged Lu Chen's character, thinking that as long as they got close to Lu Chen, he would fall in love with Chen Wanrong.

As it turned out, they hadn't expected that although Lu Chen was fond of beautiful women, he was also a very cautious and careful man. They had wasted so much time in Beijun.

In the end, Chen Wanrong led some disciples of Xuan Yue Palace back to Xuan Yue Palace, leaving Lin Wanyun to continue serving as the guard commander in Lu Chen's inner courtyard.

……

a few days later.

The capital of Daxia.

On the way to Xuanzheng Hall, the ministers whispered among themselves, discussing the war with Da Wu.

At this moment, Wang Chengshuo, the Vice Minister of War, and a group of people sent by the Eighth Prince came to the Eighth Prince's side and discussed something in hushed tones.

At this moment, an official whispered, "The battle at the front is fierce, and it's time for His Majesty to bring out his 50,000 heavy cavalry."

Another official said, "Now that Da Wu has declared war on Da Xia, and other dynasties are also eyeing Da Xia covetously, if we don't win a major victory with overwhelming force to deter the enemy at this time, our situation will probably become even more difficult in the future."

At this moment, Wang Chengshuo, the Vice Minister of War, said, "I will suggest to His Majesty later that the 50,000 heavy cavalry from Beijun be transferred directly to the front line to relieve the pressure on the imperial army at the front."

Hearing the topic of conversation among the officials, Lu Shuyun couldn't help but smile slightly. This war had certainly come at the right time.

He had been discussing with the Wang family how to dismantle the 50,000 heavy cavalry for some time, but they couldn't find an opportunity. He didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
