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

Chapter 22 Aunt Chu, Actually, I Have My Reasons

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained another woman and obtained the Immune to All Poisons Pill.]

[The host and Wang Qingci have developed a relationship, gaining 20 experience points for the Qi Refining Technique and 10 experience points for the Rejuvenating Hand.]

Although the system notification sounded in his ear, Lu Chen had no mind to pay attention to it at the moment.

He was now completely insane. He finally understood why Wang Qingci had a score of 95. Although all others were above 90, this woman was the best of the best, making him unable to control himself.

At this time.

The main gate of the courtyard.

Mu Zixuan was waiting anxiously, but just then, they seemed to faintly hear sounds coming from inside the room.

Hearing this voice, Mu Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the prince had succeeded.

Next, the Prince's Mansion gained another ninth-rank expert.

Chu Yuqin's face was slightly flushed at this moment.

The princess led her to eavesdrop on the wall, which gave her a strange feeling.

Lately, she often thinks of Lu Chen's handsome face in the quiet of the night, accompanied by endless emptiness and loneliness.

Chu Yuqin kept reminding herself that Lu Chen was her sister's son and that she couldn't have those kinds of feelings for him. But during the day, she couldn't help but steal glances at Lu Chen.

Every time she heard Lu Chen's mixed voices with other women, she could no longer suppress the restlessness in her heart, but Lu Chen, that wicked thing, liked to mess around in the inner courtyard.

If this continues, she might really do something outrageous.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin quickly circulated her internal energy to calm her mind and prevent herself from thinking too much.

While circulating her internal energy, Chu Yuqin kept reminding herself in her mind.

"Chen'er is Sister Yue's son, I absolutely cannot have any improper thoughts about him!"

At this moment, Mu Zixuan, who was standing to the side, saw that Chu Yuqin had closed her eyes and her face was flushed, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

After all, she is a woman, and one who has never had sexual relations with a man before. It would be abnormal if she were not moved by those voices.

However, this also shows that Chu Yuqin has feelings for the prince, but she has been suppressing her romantic feelings because of their different social statuses.

Just then, Mu Zixuan suddenly thought of something.

It seems that Chu Yuqin has been drinking Dragon and Phoenix Tea recently.

Others may not know the effects of Dragon and Phoenix Tea, so they don't know what drinking it means, but she does know, because Lu Chen told her.

Mu Zixuan wondered to herself, "Does the prince really intend to make Chu Yuqin his woman?"

He was able to subdue Wang Qingci, a ninth-rank martial artist, thanks to the Dragon and Phoenix Tea. Chu Yuqin was also drinking Dragon and Phoenix Tea, which meant that if Lu Chen insisted on making Chu Yuqin his woman in the near future, Chu Yuqin would have no way to resist.

Thinking of this, Mu Zixuan gave Chu Yuqin a meaningful look.

It seems that Chu Yuqin will never be able to escape the clutches of their prince in this lifetime.

Painful times are long, while joyful times are short.

However, the length of time and the brevity of time are relative.

For example, Lu Chen felt that time was very short, while Wang Qingci felt that time was very long.

Wang Qingci tried every possible way to escape, but in the end, Lu Chen always pulled her back.

She felt incredibly humiliated. As a ninth-rank martial artist, she had actually been defeated by an ordinary person, and she didn't even know how she had fallen for it.

Several hours later, Lu Chen tightly embraced Wang Qingci's slender waist and said with a smile in her ear, "Qingci, I never expected that you, the most beautiful courtesan in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, would still be a virgin."

"Looks like I'm pretty lucky."

At this moment, Lu Chen's words were like the whispers of a demon.

Wang Qingci gritted her teeth, wanting to curse him, but ultimately held back.

She had to find a way to leave the palace, to leave this place that had caused her so much humiliation.

Once she recovers her powers, she will kill the person who stole her innocence.

Wang Qingci then said in a coquettish voice, "Your Highness, please release me, I can't take it anymore."

Hearing Wang Qingci's voice, Lu Chen became even more agitated.

Lu Chen said, "Qingci, why don't you live in the Prince's mansion from now on? I want to buy you and have you serve me forever."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingci's face turned deathly pale.

She quickly said, "Your Highness, I still have many things at Baihualou. If Your Highness really wants to buy me, then please let me go back to Baihualou and bring my things to the Prince's Mansion."

Lu Chen stroked Wang Qingci's jade-like back and said, "Those things are optional. We can just buy new ones. Anyway, our Wang Mansion is not short of money."

Wang Qingci quickly found a new excuse and said, "Your Highness, I grew up in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and have a very deep relationship with the sisters there. I am a little reluctant to part with them."

"If Your Highness truly loves me, could you grant me some time to bid them farewell?"

Now all she can do is appeal to Lu Chen's emotions and get him to let her go.

Lu Chen said, "Alright then, I'll give you a month, what do you think?"

Wang Qingci thought to herself, "A month? Perfect timing. The people from Blood Moon Tower will be here soon. This guy's death is in a month. I'll deal with him myself then to vent my hatred."

Although that's what she thought in her heart, Wang Qingci still said charmingly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will definitely serve you well in the future."

Seeing Wang Qingci's fair body, Lu Chen couldn't help but start developing feelings for her again.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen finally let Wang Qingci leave.

When Wang Qingci walked out of the palace gate, her body was still trembling and she was so weak that she needed the help of a maid to walk.

At this moment, Wang Qingci turned her head and glanced at the plaque of the Wang Mansion. Her expression instantly turned icy cold, and a strong killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"Northern King, you just wait, your death is imminent!"

After making those harsh words in his heart, Wang Qingci turned around and returned to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

After Wang Qingci left, Lu Chen came out of the room and saw Chu Yuqin and Mu Zixuan.

Mu Zixuan then said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on winning the heart of this beauty."

Lu Chen came to Mu Zixuan's side, hugged her, and then said gently, "All of this is thanks to your arrangements, my beloved consort."

At this moment, Chu Yuqin reminded him from the side, "Chen'er, I've noticed that you've become more and more outrageous lately. You actually brought the courtesan home. If people find out about this, what will the people of Beijun think of you? You are their king."

Hearing Chu Yuqin's reprimand, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Aunt Chu, I actually have my reasons."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What's your predicament?"

Although Chu Yuqin thought Lu Chen was making excuses for his lust, she was different from most people; she would usually listen to Lu Chen's explanations.

Lu Chen then said to Mu Zixuan, "My dear concubine, tell Aunt Chu what my difficulties are."

Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment. How did she know what trouble Lu Chen had?

Isn't her husband just someone who purely enjoys beautiful women?

However, Mu Zixuan quickly recovered and then said to Chu Yuqin, "Aunt Chu, I'll tell you about the prince's matter later. He does have his reasons."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin looked at Mu Zixuan with suspicion. She now seriously suspected that Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan were putting on an act, since the husband and wife were in cahoots, but she had no evidence.

Chu Yuqin then said no more, "I'm going on patrol, you two chat."
