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

I'm glad Chapter 200 was able to help you.

After Lu Chen absorbed all of Su Teng's internal energy, Su Teng, having lost his power, could no longer endure the pain and fainted again.

At this moment, Lu Chen's gaze fell on the grandmaster who had just surrendered. Seeing Lu Chen looking at him, the grandmaster hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Your Highness, spare my life! I will confess everything. This was all instigated by the Wang family. I was just forcibly brought to the Northern Kingdom by Su Teng. I did not intend to assassinate you."

What happened just now was terrifying. Su Teng, a Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm, had all his power drained by Lu Chen. The Grandmaster kneeling on the ground was terrified that he would be next.

If he loses his power, he will be nothing more than an ordinary person. An ordinary person who surrenders is even more useless to the Northern King, which means that he will surely die soon. So the first thing he needs to do is to ensure that his power is not absorbed by the Northern King.

Seeing the grandmaster kowtowing frantically, Qin Yushan came to Lu Chen and whispered, "Your Highness, this person holds a high position in the Lingwu Pavilion. If we can control him, we might be able to control the entire Lingwu Pavilion in the future. The Lingwu Pavilion has a lot of craftsmen, and those craftsmen are of great use to our Northern Kingdom."

Everyone in the Northern Kingdom can now see how much Lu Chen values ​​craftsmen. The Lingwu Pavilion is a force that specializes in crafting weapons and equipment. They started by selling weapons and equipment and have trained a large number of craftsmen, especially blacksmiths.

Although the Northern Prince's Mansion currently has more than two thousand craftsmen, this is still far from enough for the Northern Prince's Mansion.

The northern lands are about to embark on a major construction project, so naturally the more craftsmen the better.

After listening to Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then said to Qin Yushan, "Then I'll leave this person to you. Don't let him get away."

Qin Yushan immediately said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will feed him medicine to seal his internal energy in a moment."

At this moment, Lu Chen said to the grandmaster, "Take off your golden silk armor."

Upon hearing this, the grandmaster did not hesitate to take off his clothes and then remove his golden silk armor, placing it on the ground.

Lu Chen then had someone remove the golden silk armor from Su Teng's body. He picked up the two pieces of golden silk armor and examined them. He found that they were indeed made of the same material and had the same effect. As long as they came into contact with spiritual energy, they would become indestructible.

This material is really interesting.

Just then, two groups of people emerged from both sides of the crossroads: one led by Mu Changtian and the other by Xuan Yuanchen.

They quickly reunited, and Mu Changtian, after approaching Lu Chen, said, "Your Highness, I accidentally killed the leader of the Grandmasters."

Their operations tonight were split up; Mu Changtian and Xuan Yuanchen each led their own men to deal with the other two assassin organizations.

Lu Chen initially wanted them to capture the leader, the Grandmaster, instead of killing him. However, when Grandmaster-level martial artists fight, it's sometimes difficult for them to be careful with their strength, and it's normal for them to accidentally kill someone.

Lu Chen said, "So what if he's dead?"

At this moment, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Xuan Yuan Chen, only to see that Xuan Yuan Chen was carrying a man covered in blood. This man was also a grandmaster, and he was on the verge of death.

Xuan Yuan Chen then threw the man to the ground and said to Lu Chen, "Your Highness, I just interrogated him and learned that he is an assassin sent by the Chu family."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

Chu family?

Although he knew which faction's assassins they were, the Embroidered Uniform Guard couldn't find out who sent them. Lu Chen never expected that the Chu family would send people to assassinate him.

Lu Chen frowned, then squatted down, placed a palm on the man's head, and directly absorbed all the power from his body.

Mu Changtian wasn't present earlier and didn't witness Lu Chen absorbing the power of others. Now, seeing this scene before him, Mu Changtian stood there dumbfounded.

Actively absorb the power of others?

What kind of martial art is the Northern King practicing?

Mu Changtian suddenly seemed to understand something. No wonder the Northern King was able to become a grandmaster in such a short time. It turned out that he could absorb the power of others and turn it into his own.

Why does this look like some kind of evil practice?

After Lu Chen absorbed all the power from the man on the ground, the man was still not dead. Lu Chen said to Xuan Yuan Chen, "Take this man to my grandfather and tell him what happened tonight."

Xuan Yuan Chen immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"

At this moment, Qin Yushan said, "General Xuanyuan, you may not know where the prince's maternal grandfather lives. I'll have someone take you there."

Xuan Yuan Chen said, "Alright, then I'll trouble Commander Qin."

Qin Yushan then summoned several Jinyiwei soldiers and had them take Xuan Yuanchen to the courtyard where Chu Xiong was currently residing.

After Xuan Yuan Chen left, Lu Chen glanced at the Lingwu Pavilion assassins lying on the ground. Although these assassins had surrendered, their strength was not low. To be honest, Lu Chen was a little worried that Qin Yushan and the others would not be able to control these people.

Just then, Qin Yushan ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard soldiers to feed the surrendered Lingwu Pavilion assassins a kind of pill. Seeing this, Lu Chen asked, "Commander Qin, what are you feeding them?"

Qin Yushan replied, "Your Highness, this is a medicine that can seal off all the meridians in the body. Once a martial artist takes this medicine, their internal energy will be sealed off, and they will be unable to use their internal strength, becoming just like an ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen wondered if someone had given him such a drug that day, would his powers have been sealed as well?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, "Does this pill have any other side effects?"

Qin Yushan was taken aback. He hadn't expected Lu Chen to ask this question. After all, they didn't take these pills themselves; they were given to the enemy. They really didn't know if there were any side effects.

Qin Yushan then said, "I don't know about that, but usually we just need to give them the antidote and they can quickly recover their strength."

Lu Chen then said, "Give me a pill to try."

Qin Yushan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you absolutely mustn't!"

Qin Yushan didn't expect that Lu Chen would be interested in this kind of pill. Lu Chen was a prince, after all; how could he eat things indiscriminately?

Lu Chen said, "It's alright, you have the antidote anyway, give me one to try."

Seeing that Lu Chen insisted on trying the medicine, Qin Yushan didn't say anything more. He then took out a pill and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen swallowed it in one gulp, but as soon as he swallowed it, he felt as if the pill was decomposing inside his body. Qin Yushan looked at Lu Chen nervously, afraid that something had happened to him.

Lu Chen realized instantly that the pill had lost its effectiveness in his body.

Oh, so he's immune to all poisons; none of the world's poisons have any effect on him. This pill is also a kind of poison.

His immunity to all poisons hadn't been working for so long that he had almost forgotten he even had this ability.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed completely unharmed, Qin Yushan was stunned.

Is everything alright?

Even a Grandmaster at the Extreme Realm would have their power sealed if they took this pill, yet the Northern King was completely unaffected.

Qin Yushan then cautiously asked, "Your Highness, do you need the antidote?"

Lu Chen said calmly, "This pill is of no use to me. When you are watching over these assassins, don't always think that you can make them obey with just one pill."

Qin Yushan felt somewhat embarrassed; he hadn't expected that anyone in this world would be completely immune to the poison in this pill.

Qin Yushan then said, "Your Highness is right. I will definitely have the Embroidered Uniform Guards keep a close watch on them and never give them a chance to escape."

Lu Chen glanced at everyone and then said, "Now that the matter has been resolved, I should return. The rest is up to you."

"They damaged the people's houses, so they should pay compensation. I believe these killers must have a lot of money on them. They were just using silver to smash grenades, so they must be rich."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he turned and left. Qin Yushan and the others immediately said, "Respectfully seeing off Your Highness!"

Lu Chen had only taken a few steps when he heard Qin Yushan's voice behind him, "Hand over all the silver you have on you."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly. He believed that Qin Yushan and his team would handle the housing compensation issues for the people properly.

……

In the North Prince's Mansion, the main hall.

Lu Chen's wives and concubines were all sitting in the main hall, waiting for Lu Chen to return.

Unlike last time, when the Northern Prince's Mansion was attacked by assassins, they hid in the underground passage. This time, with the protection of two Grandmasters, Bai Qingqing and Chen Wanrong, they no longer had to hide underground.

Although they knew that Lu Chen was no longer the same as before and possessed great strength, Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou still showed worried expressions.

Seeing their worried expressions, Chu Yuqin comforted them, "Zixuan, don't worry, Chen'er will be alright."

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan smiled slightly and then said, "Aunt Chu, I believe the Prince will be alright."

At this moment, Chen Wanrong glanced expressionlessly at the women in the main hall. Seeing these women, Chen Wanrong couldn't help but think that it was no wonder Lu Chen hadn't come to find her. With so many beautiful wives and concubines, living a life of pleasure every night and changing wives every day, even the most lustful man couldn't resist. How could Lu Chen have the mind to come to find her?

It seems I need to take the initiative. Her love potion has been prepared for a long time, but she hasn't had the chance yet. If this continues, her love worms might starve to death.

Just as Chen Wanrong was thinking about having Lin Wanyun create an opportunity for her to be alone with Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin said to her, "Miss Chen, thank you for your help this time."

Chen Wanrong said calmly, "It's only right."

Lin Wanyun added, "Yuqin, we are staying at the Northern Prince's Mansion, and Chen'er has given us such good treatment. If the Northern Prince's Mansion has any problems, we should naturally step forward to help."

Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong's idea was actually to send disciples of Xuan Yue Palace to help Lu Chen, but Lu Chen only asked the two of them to help watch over the Northern Prince's Mansion and did not ask Xuan Yue Palace to send anyone to accompany him.

Of course, even so, the two were very happy, because Lu Chen had accepted Xuan Yue Palace and them to some extent. All they needed to do next was for them to take another step forward so that they could begin to implement their plan.

As soon as Lin Wanyun finished speaking, a maid rushed in and said, "Your Highness, the Prince has returned!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zixuan immediately stood up and handed the child in her arms to the wet nurse.

A short while later, a tall and robust young man appeared at the door. Upon seeing Lu Chen return, Lu Chen's wives and concubines rushed forward.

Mu Zixuan asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Lu Chen held Mu Zixuan's hand and said with a smile, "I'm fine. Most of the more powerful assassins have been dealt with. There should be some assassins we haven't discovered hiding in the shadows, but those assassins don't pose much of a threat to the Northern Prince's Mansion. The Northern Prince's Mansion can just increase patrols."

At this point, Lu Chen turned to Chen Wanrong and said, "Miss Chen, thank you so much this time."

Chen Wanrong remained expressionless and said, "You're welcome."

Lin Wanyun quickly tugged at Chen Wanrong's dress, signaling her not to speak so simply. Chen Wanrong immediately became worried, then added expressionlessly, "I'm glad I could help you."

Lin Wanyun sighed inwardly. Well, that's alright. After all, Chen Wanrong rarely talks to men, so it's already quite good that she could say something like that.

Lin Wanyun glanced at Mu Zixuan and the others, then said, "Chen'er, since most of the assassins have been dealt with, if there's nothing else, the Palace Master and I will head back now."

Lu Chen said, "Okay."

Next, it was Lu Chen's and his wives' turn. Since the people of Xuan Yue Palace were outsiders, it was not appropriate for them to stay here any longer. Afterwards, Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong left the main hall together.

After Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun left, Lu Chen comforted his wives and concubines and then sent them back to their respective rooms.

After they all went back, Lu Chen did not stay overnight in Mu Zixuan's room. After absorbing the power of the three grandmasters, he felt extremely restless and not sleepy at all. His energy suddenly became very vigorous.

Mu Zixuan is pregnant, and in his current state, he definitely cannot stay with Mu Zixuan any longer. He should either go to Chunsheng Courtyard or go to Chu Qingli's room tonight.

Lu Chen decisively chose Chu Qingli's room. After making a deal with Chu Qingli last time, he only did that kind of thing with her once, and he hadn't found an opportunity since.

The main issue is that Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli live in the same courtyard, and their rooms are next to each other. Every time he wants to go see Chu Qingli to cultivate their relationship, he sees Chu Yuqin instead, which makes it a bit difficult for Lu Chen to make a move.

However, Chu Yuqin was on duty in the inner courtyard tonight, which also created an opportunity for him.

Chu Qingli was originally in the main hall, but after Lu Chen told them to go back, she went straight back to her room.

Tonight, her sister is on duty in the inner courtyard, so she doesn't need to watch over things outside.

Back in her room, Chu Qingli slowly took off her outer clothes, revealing her smooth skin. She planned to take a bath and then go straight to sleep.

But just then, she suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open outside. Chu Qingli immediately became alert, "Who's there!"
