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

After the Prince of Zhennan got out of bed, even he himself found it hard to believe his condition. He felt that his body was in surprisingly good shape.

Ever since he suffered the backlash from the spiritual energy, he had been lying in bed. He had long been fed up with this kind of life. After all, he was once one of the top experts in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had the dignity of a strong person. Making a strong person like him lie in bed all the time, eating, drinking and relieving himself in bed, would naturally damage his dignity.

The Prince of Zhennan was incredibly excited. He took two steps forward.

Seeing the Prince of Zhennan easily take two steps forward, the people present were even more shocked. Could it be that the Prince of Zhennan was about to recover?

If that's the case, then the Zhennan Prince's Mansion can hold out for a long time. With their heir's talent, it won't be long before the Zhennan Prince's Mansion produces another Earth Realm expert. At that time, the heir will be able to take over the position of the Zhennan Prince, and the crisis of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion will be easily resolved.

At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan took a deep breath, looked up at Lu Chen, and said, "Chen'er, I feel full of vitality. Perhaps I can live for a few more years. In the next few years, as long as I am alive, you can do whatever you want."

Originally, the Prince of Zhennan wanted Lu Chen to keep a low profile, since if he died, the Zhou royal family would likely take action against the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.

If the Zhou royal family were to learn that Lu Chen possessed exceptional talent, they would be even less likely to tolerate his existence and would undoubtedly try every means to assassinate him.

However, after the Prince of Zhennan regained some of his vitality, his thoughts changed. Since Lu Chen's talent was so high and his cultivation level was improving so quickly, he would take advantage of the time when he could still protect him and help Lu Chen grow up as fast as possible. As long as he was alive, the Zhou royal family would not dare to act recklessly.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Chen's talent is sufficient to better stabilize the subordinates or forces of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

In any case, the Zhou royal family has already shown signs of taking action against the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. If the Zhennan Prince's Mansion does nothing, it will only embolden the Zhou royal family to take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, they have already become embroiled in the struggle between Emperor Zhou and Empress Dowager. Even if they do nothing, Empress Dowager will not let the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion go.

Upon hearing the words of the Prince of Zhennan, Lu Chen immediately replied, "Yes, Father."

The Prince of Zhennan then glanced at everyone in the room and said, "I intend to go to the palace to ask the Emperor of Zhou for a marriage for Chen'er."

As soon as the Prince of Zhennan finished speaking, Zhao Yu immediately asked, "Is the woman Princess Yun'an?"

Ji Yunmeng and Lu Chen are getting closer now, and there are rumors that Ji Yunmeng might have feelings for Lu Chen. In addition, Ji Yunmeng gave Lu Chen a sword some time ago, which can be considered as her siding with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Therefore, it is highly likely that the princess that the Zhennan Prince wants Lu Chen to marry is Ji Yunmeng.

The Prince of Zhennan replied, "It is indeed Princess Yun'an. I originally planned to burn my life force to enter the palace and meet Emperor Zhou when my time came, but I did not expect the backlash from the spirit to suddenly become so fierce, almost taking me away directly."

"Now that I have returned from the brink of death, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, lest something else goes wrong."

Although the Prince of Zhennan was able to walk at this time, the backlash from the spiritual evil was permanent. Lu Chen had only temporarily absorbed the black evil from his body, and he had temporarily regained some vitality. However, after a while, the black evil would still be generated in his body, and he would suffer the same backlash from the spiritual evil.

If the next spiritual backlash comes suddenly, he may not be able to withstand it, so he must take advantage of the fact that he can still move to finalize the marriage between Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng.

At this moment, Lu Xun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it will probably not be easy to see Emperor Zhou. He is currently under house arrest by the Empress Dowager in the Wanshou Palace."

Hearing Lu Xun's reminder, the Prince of Zhennan said nonchalantly, "It may not be easy for others, but it is a piece of cake for me. I don't think anyone would dare to stop me from meeting Emperor Zhou."

He possesses a dragon-like aura, making him unharmable to ordinary people in the capital. If he is prevented from seeing the Emperor, he will undoubtedly run directly to Pei Shuhua. People know he is a dying man, and if they do not obey him, it is uncertain what he might do.

The Prince of Zhennan glanced at everyone in the room again and said, "That's all for today. You can all go back. I have just recovered and still need to calm the spiritual energy within my body."

Everyone answered in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After everyone left the room, Lu Chen said, "Father, you should rest well. I'll head back now."

The Prince of Zhennan said, "Very well."

Lu Chen then turned and left the room. Seeing Lu Chen's tall figure as he left, the Prince of Zhennan couldn't help but show a gratified smile.

……

On a street in the capital, a carriage was slowly heading towards the Zhengui Division.

Inside the carriage, Lu Yu asked He Dongqi curiously, "My lord, weren't you planning to test the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to see if the Zhennan Prince was a wolf demon? Why did you leave so quickly?"

He Dongqi's trip to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had two main purposes: one was to have Lu Chen stay at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to organize the files of the Zhengui Division, and the other was to see if something had really happened to the Zhennan Prince.

However, after He Dongqi went to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, he never asked about the Zhennan Prince, so it was impossible to determine whether the wolf demon was the Zhennan Prince in disguise.

Upon hearing Lu Yu's question, He Dongqi said calmly, "There's no need to deliberately test it. Just go into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and you can basically confirm that the wolf demon is not the Zhennan Prince."

If the Prince of Zhennan really had turned into a wolf demon, everyone in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion would definitely be very nervous. It would probably not be easy for them to enter the mansion. However, the Prince of Zhennan's mansion did not care at all and directly invited them to the reception hall of the mansion.

Of course, the most important thing is Lu Chen's reaction. Lu Chen is just a spoiled brat, and usually, such spoiled brats are at a loss when a major change occurs in their family.

If something really happened to the Prince of Zhennan, the person who would least want this matter to be leaked would definitely be Lu Chen, and when Lu Chen meets with outsiders, his expression will definitely reveal some worry and anxiety.

However, when He Dongqi met Lu Chen, he did not sense any worry or anxiety about the future on Lu Chen's face. This indicated that Lu Chen's backer had not fallen, meaning that the Prince of Zhennan had not yet met with misfortune.

He Dongqi then added, "Lu Chen remained so calm in the face of the commander of the Zhengui Division's visit, which proves that the Prince of Zhennan has not become an evil spirit."

Lu Yu said, "Is it possible that he's just putting on a brave face?"

He Dongqi closed his eyes slightly, crossed his arms, and said indifferently, "A spoiled brat like him couldn't possibly be so calm in the face of such a major upheaval in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. He would inevitably show some unease." (End of Chapter)
