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

Chapter 321 Murong Xue'er Leaves

early morning.

A ray of sunlight shone into the rest room, landing on the bed, making it appear as if it were bathed in holy light.

In her dazed state, Murong Xue'er felt as if she had completely become Lu Chen's wife, and she couldn't help but call Lu Chen her husband.

Just then, Murong Xue'er suddenly woke up.

The next moment, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

Feeling the evil thing pressing down on her, Murong Xue'er's emotions were somewhat complicated.

Her purpose had been exposed. If she went back and reported the truth, she might never see the Northern King again. Thinking of what had happened yesterday, Murong Xue'er felt a pang of reluctance.

This was her first man. Although she gave herself to him for a mission, she still developed some strange feelings for him.

Murong Xue'er was momentarily stunned.

What is she thinking? She actually wanted to stay by this man's side forever! How could she have such a thought!

Thinking of this, Murong Xue'er glanced at Lu Chen's head.

At this moment, Lu Chen was lying on top of her, his head resting on her fragrant shoulder.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er couldn't help but raise her hand, really wanting to slap this bastard on the head and take the opportunity to finish him off.

Although that's what she thought, when her hand came down, she only stroked Lu Chen's black hair.

Murong Xue'er sighed inwardly and said softly, "Goodbye..."

She made up her mind that once she returned, she would tell Emperor Yue everything that had happened in the Northern Kingdom, and she would never come to the Northern Kingdom again.

She was genuinely worried that if she came to the Northern Kingdom again, she might actually be completely conquered by this evil thing.

The Northern King meets all her criteria for a man, but the most crucial point is that he is too skilled at dealing with women, which she finds difficult to handle. If she were to soften her heart one day, she might actually betray the Empress and become one of the Northern King's wives or concubines.

Lu Chen, who was fast asleep, seemed to hear Murong Xue'er's voice, and he moved his head slightly.

Seeing that Lu Chen's head moved, Murong Xue'er immediately removed her jade hand from Lu Chen's head, pretending that nothing had happened.

Just then, Lu Chen slowly raised his upper body, looking at Murong Xue'er with sleepy eyes.

Murong Xue'er stared intently at Lu Chen, who smiled and said, "Xue'er, what's your decision? Do you want to cooperate with me?"

Murong Xue'er said expressionlessly, "I can cooperate with you."

Although she had decided to tell the truth to Emperor Yue, she was still in Yancheng and in the Northern Kingdom. She certainly couldn't refuse the Northern King directly. She would pretend to agree first and then talk about it when she returned to Dayue, so as not to let the Northern King use any means to forcibly keep her there.

The atmosphere in the Northern Kingdom was a bit strange. Murong Xue'er couldn't figure out what the Northern Kingdom was going to do next. Perhaps the Northern King would suddenly decide to make an enemy of Dayue and forcibly detain her, the university envoy.

It should be fine to stabilize the situation with the Northern King first.

Seeing that Murong Xue'er agreed, Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "Then I will wait for you to return in the Northern Kingdom. I believe we will meet again soon."

Gazing at Lu Chen's smile, Murong Xue'er thought to herself, "Never again."

At this moment, Murong Xue'er raised her delicate hand and nudged Lu Chen's chest. "Your Highness, you should get up."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "The thought of you leaving the Northern Kingdom makes me reluctant to part with you. How about you stay with me for one more day today?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er's face turned deathly pale. Although she didn't feel any discomfort, she hated having her body controlled by others.

Moreover, if things continued like this, she might very well fall into depravity; she clearly felt that her inner will was not firm.

Murong Xue'er quickly said, "Your Highness, please have some self-respect!"

Lu Chen ignored Murong Xue'er, grabbed her two wrists, pressed them to either side of her head, and then leaned down to kiss Murong Xue'er's red lips again.

"Mmm..."

Murong Xue'er cursed inwardly, "That bastard, he's a beast!"

……

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen finally let Murong Xue'er leave the Northern Prince's Mansion.

When Murong Xue'er returned, she felt lightheaded and her mind was clearly still reeling.

After Murong Xue'er left the Northern Prince's Mansion, she turned her head and looked at the plaque of the Northern Prince's Mansion one last time. Her mind was full of thoughts, and she did not get into the carriage in front of her for a long time.

After a while, the coachman asked, "Lord Murong, is there anything else?"

Murong Xue'er then came to her senses, turned around and boarded the carriage, "It's alright, let's go."

On her way back to the mansion, the events of the past few days kept replaying in her mind. She felt empty inside, and she didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but it made her feel a little suffocated and a little short of breath.

Without realizing it, her hand moved to her lower abdomen and began to gently stroke it.

She murmured, "Northern King, I will always remember you, you bastard..."

……

A few days later, Murong Xue'er left Yancheng and the Northern Kingdom, embarking on her journey back to Dayue.

Murong Xue'er's return to Dayue was originally just for reporting on her duties, but some people thought that Dayue had taken some special action, which is why they recalled Dayue's envoy stationed in the Northern Kingdom.

Not long after Murong Xue'er left, Zhuge Chongguang made a public appearance at the newly built academy in the Northern Kingdom and presided over the opening ceremony. Zhuge Chongguang's public appearance immediately attracted the attention of spies from various forces.

The spies soon discovered that although Zhuge Chongguang's aura was indeed very strong, it could not possibly reach the level of a celestial being.

Although most of the spies had never seen a Celestial Being, they knew that Celestial Beings possessed the power to destroy the world, so the power they displayed would be extremely strong, unlike that of Zhuge Chongguang.

The imposing aura emanating from Zhuge Chongguang was more like the Grandmaster's ultimate realm described in the article published by the Oriental Times.

As a result, the major powers have basically confirmed that Zhuge Chongguang is indeed not a Celestial, and that there are indeed no Celestial Realm experts in the Northern Kingdom.

Soon, the news spread throughout all dynasties and powers.

As soon as the news spread, some forces began to stir. The threat from the Northern Kingdom was too great. If this threat was not eliminated, no one could say for sure whether the Northern Kingdom would threaten them in the future.

As time passed day by day, Lu Chen continued to pay close attention to the events that were happening in the various dynasties.

That day, Lu Chen was listening to Qin Yushan's report in his study when a soldier suddenly said at the door, "Your Highness, the soldiers of Dayu City have arrived in the old city with an army of 200,000."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately put down the intelligence report he was holding and said with a smile, "We've finally arrived!"

At this point, Lu Chen turned to Qin Yushan and said, "That's all for today. The Embroidered Uniform Guards will continue to keep a close eye on the situation in the capital."

Qin Yushan said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

After Qin Yushan left, Lu Chen immediately went to the old city to see the 200,000-strong army in the far north.
