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

Chapter 308: I'm really sorry, I wrote a lot of words.

This was the first time Murong Xue'er had been in close contact with a man. She used to be the personal maid of the Empress of Dayue, and was often hugged and embraced by the Emperor. But no matter how much she hugged and embraced the Emperor in the past, she never had this strange feeling today.

She thought that embracing the Emperor would not cause her any discomfort.

But today she found herself acting strangely. Her whole body was burning hot, her heart was beating faster and faster, and all her strength seemed to be out of control. She had no strength to push the man in front of her away.

Murong Xue'er was quickly overwhelmed by Lu Chen's kisses and had no idea what she was doing.

In her dazed state, she seemed to hear a tearing sound, and then she seemed to feel something.

The next moment, Murong Xue'er's eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and she could only make "mmm" sounds.

……

at the same time.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Emperor Xia sat on his dragon bed, listening to the reports from the shadow guards inside the room.

After a moment, he asked, "Has King Zhao already defeated King Ren's army?"

The shadow guard inside the room replied, "Yes, King Ren's army has completely disintegrated. Many soldiers have chosen to surrender to King Zhao, who now commands at least 300,000 troops."

The Emperor's lips curled slightly upwards, and he said, "Very well, it's time."

At this point, he said to the shadow guards in the room, "Immediately spread the news that the Imperial Preceptor has entered the pseudo-Celestial Realm and will soon break through to the true Celestial Realm. Once the Imperial Preceptor breaks through to the Celestial Realm, he will be able to use special methods to prolong my life, and may even be able to fully restore me."

The shadow guard immediately replied, "Yes!"

"Your subordinate takes his leave."

As the shadow guard's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, Emperor Xia muttered to himself, "If Xiao Jiu still doesn't fall for it, then I will personally head north. I hope Xiao Jiu won't disappoint me."

"At the latest, within a year, I will break through to the true Celestial Realm, at which time Great Xia will have no rivals!"

The operation on the Zhao King's side has already begun. Before long, the various vassal kings will gather their armies and head towards the capital. It will be time to close the net.

The Xia Emperor was very confident in himself. He seemed to have already seen the future scene of all nations coming to pay tribute and envoys from various dynasties trembling in his presence.

At this moment.

The State of Zhao.

The King of Zhao's bedroom.

King Zhao was resting when a dark figure suddenly appeared behind a pillar in his bedchamber, and King Zhao abruptly opened his eyes.

The next moment, a letter flew towards King Zhao. King Zhao immediately raised his hand and caught the letter. Then, King Zhao opened the letter and read it carefully.

At this moment, the shadowy figure spoke up, "If this plan succeeds, His Majesty will use the sacred artifact of the Xuan Yue Palace to help you advance to the Grandmaster realm."

King Zhao immediately said, "Please convey to my elder brother that I will spare no effort to help him achieve his ambition of hegemony!"

As soon as King Zhao finished speaking, the figure disappeared back into the shadows.

After sensing that the figure had left, King Zhao tore the letter in his hand to shreds and threw it into the brazier in the room.

"It seems that my royal brother has made almost all the preparations. If his plan succeeds this time, there will be no more vassal kings in the Great Xia Dynasty."

At this point, King Zhao sighed, "It seems I also need to make preparations to hand over my military power after the war is over."

"Though we are born of the same mother, people's hearts can always change..."

King Zhao was well aware of Emperor Xia's true strength, so he never considered taking the throne from Emperor Xia, especially since they were brothers born of the same mother.

Although brotherly affection is rare, or even almost non-existent, in the royal family, King Zhao still felt some gratitude towards Emperor Xia when he thought of how Emperor Xia took care of him when he was a child.

King Zhao was actually reluctant to give up the power he held, but he knew very well what kind of person his elder brother was.

He grew up with his elder brother and knew what his brother's ideals were. His brother would do anything for his ideals.

As the younger brother of the Xia Emperor, the King of Zhao ultimately chose to stand on the Xia Emperor's side.

……

North.

The Hundred Flowers Pavilion, third floor.

Murong Xue'er's voice rose and fell, and although she tried her best to restrain herself, she still couldn't completely suppress it.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er was lying on the desk, and Lu Chen picked up a calligraphy brush and, while busy with his work, wrote words on Murong Xue'er's fair back.

The tip of the calligraphy brush, imbued with Lu Chen's spiritual energy, moved across Murong Xue'er's back, giving her an indescribable, strange feeling. She felt her body becoming increasingly peculiar.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er asked, "Your Highness... what did Your Highness write on my back?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Guess?"

Murong Xue'er said, "It's a pity it's on the back, I... sigh... I can't see it..."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's easy."

Lu Chen then turned Murong Xue'er around and laid her on the desk.

The next moment, Murong Xue'er and Lu Chen's eyes met. Murong Xue'er's hair was messy, her hair bun had come undone, and her originally cool cheeks had turned red. She was full of charm.

Murong Xue'er lowered her head slightly and saw a scene she didn't want to see. At this moment, Lu Chen picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write on Murong Xue'er's stomach. As he wrote, he asked, "By the way, after your virginity mark is gone, if the Emperor finds out when we go back, won't he punish you?"

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er laughed and said, "Your Highness has already removed my virginity mark, and you're only now remembering this? Don't you think it's too late?"

Lu Chen smiled and then said, "That's true."

"How about this, since you'll be checked for your virginity mark by the Emperor anyway, you might as well not go back."

Murong Xue'er said, "Does Your Highness intend for me to stay in the Northern Kingdom as your lover indefinitely?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen pressed his pen hard and wrote three words on Murong Xue'er's stomach.

Murong Xue'er suddenly felt as if she had been electrocuted. At this moment, Murong Xue'er slightly propped herself up and looked at the words on her stomach.

Murong Xue'er murmured, "Meat... does the word 'Your Highness' have... um... any special meaning?"

Lu Chen then placed the brush on the inkstone and said with a smile, "You'll understand what this means soon enough."

Then Lu Chen reached down under Murong Xue'er's jade-like back and lifted her up. Lu Chen was a Grandmaster after all; he could even lift a red-clothed cannon with one hand, so the weight of a woman was no problem for him.

Murong Xue'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly wrapped her legs around Lu Chen's waist to avoid falling off. Then, Murong Xue'er clung to Lu Chen and was carried to the bed by him.

……

It was evening.

Lu Chen got up and glanced at Murong Xue'er on the bed, as well as the words all over her body. Although ink would become blurred after being stained with sweat, the words were still very clear because Lu Chen used his spiritual power to imprison the ink.

Lu Chen straightened his clothes and said with a smile to Murong Xue'er, "Miss Murong, I'm so sorry, I wrote quite a lot, so I'll trouble you to wash it."

Murong Xue'er lay slumped on the bed, saying weakly, "It's alright, Your Highness, please take care. I'm sorry I can't see you off."

Lu Chen smiled and then left the study with satisfaction.
