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

Chapter 330 Once the doors and windows are closed, you are my woman.

The main gate of the Northern Prince's Mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Murong Xue'er looked at the plaque of the Northern Prince's Mansion, her thoughts racing.

She originally thought that she would probably never return to the Northern Kingdom or Yan City in this lifetime, and that it would be difficult to see the Northern King again.

Unexpectedly, not long after, she was sent back by the Emperor.

Murong Xue'er sighed softly.

Thinking of what happened at the Prince's mansion and with the Northern Prince some time ago, Murong Xue'er's delicate body trembled slightly involuntarily.

After returning to Dayue, she specifically had someone investigate the average level of men in bed. The final result was that no one was as fierce as the Northern King.

Because of her investigation into such matters, she was impeached by some officials in the Dayue court who disliked her, who said that she was promiscuous and had an immoral private life as a woman.

Of course, with the Emperor protecting her, even if she were impeached, nothing would happen to her.

After Murong Xue'er left Dayue and went to the Northern Kingdom, the ministers of Dayue thought that their impeachment had worked, and the Emperor of Yue once again distanced himself from Murong Xue'er and transferred her to the Northern Kingdom.

Thinking of the information she had gathered about men in Dayue, Murong Xue'er blushed. Just then, the voice of a maid from the Prince's mansion came, "Miss Murong, please come with me."

Hearing the maid's voice, Murong Xue'er finally came to her senses and quickly stopped herself from letting her mind wander.

She still needed to figure out how to get information from Lu Chen later, so how could she think about such filthy things? If she put her mind on matters between men and women, how could she get information from the Northern King?

Led by her maid, Murong Xue'er quickly arrived at the study and stood before Lu Chen.

Upon seeing Lu Chen, Murong Xue'er bowed and said, "This humble subject greets the Prince of the North."

Lu Chen glanced at Murong Xue'er. Murong Xue'er was still dressed as before, wearing a white dress with black trim, exuding a cool and aloof aura that made people's hearts flutter.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "It hasn't been that long since we last met, why has Xue'er become so distant?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er said expressionlessly, "Your Highness, I am an envoy of Dayue, representing the entire Dayue. I ask that Your Highness show me some respect."

As soon as Murong Xue'er finished speaking, Lu Chen waved his hand, and the doors and windows of the study were all closed in the next moment.

Murong Xue'er was about to say something when Lu Chen hugged her. Murong Xue'er tried to struggle, but found that she had no strength at all and could not push Lu Chen away.

Lu Chen then said with a smile, "If the doors and windows are open, you are an envoy of Dayue; if they are closed, you are my woman."

Murong Xue'er remained calm, after all, her body had already been taken by this lecherous man in front of her. Murong Xue'er said expressionlessly, "Your Highness is being a bit too domineering."

Lu Chen ignored Murong Xue'er's words and asked, "When you went back this time, did Emperor Yue see through the guardian mark I drew on you?"

Murong Xue'er replied, "No."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen said, "It seems my drawing skills are quite good; the Emperor Yue really didn't recognize me."

At this point, Lu Chen picked up Murong Xue'er in a princess carry. Murong Xue'er was stunned for a moment and hadn't reacted yet when Lu Chen walked directly towards the rest room in the study.

Murong Xue'er was somewhat helpless. She didn't know how to react. She was sent by Emperor Yue and was his subordinate. Logically, she should keep a certain distance from Lu Chen. However, Lu Chen didn't care about such things at all, as if she really was his woman.

Of course, this also has an advantage. She came to the Northern Kingdom to get close to the Northern King, and now that the Northern King treats her as his woman, it will be even easier for her to extract information from him in the future.

However, Murong Xue'er had a strange feeling in her heart; she felt that she had no way of refusing Lu Chen.

Before long, Lu Chen placed Murong Xue'er on the bed in the rest room, then pressed himself against her, looking down at her stunningly beautiful face.

Lu Chen continued, "What kind of information does the Emperor want you to gather by bringing you back this time? Just ask me directly, and I might be able to answer you right now."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er stared into Lu Chen's eyes, seemingly trying to discern something from them. However, Lu Chen's eyes were very clear, and it was impossible to tell that he was joking with her.

Murong Xue'er then said, "His Majesty wants me to find out why you announced the news that Zhuge Chongguang is not a celestial being at this time. Announcing this news at this time will bring a lot of trouble to the Northern Kingdom."

The trouble Murong Xue'er mentioned was naturally referring to the matter of Da Wu. On her way to the Northern Kingdom, Murong Xue'er had already heard about Da Wu's actions. Da Wu was already mobilizing troops to the north, and it was likely that Da Wu would launch a war against the Northern Kingdom soon.

This war is directly related to Lu Chen's announcement that Zhuge Chongguang is not a celestial being. If Lu Chen had not sent Zhuge Chongguang out to travel around and kept him in a state of ambiguity, allowing outsiders to speculate, then Da Wu would not have dared to send troops so directly.

Lu Chen said, "So that's what it is. It's very simple. Because the Northern Kingdom is so powerful, it no longer fears any dynasty, so I don't think there's any need to continue hiding its strength."

"Some want to attack the Northern Kingdom, and the Northern Kingdom also wants to use a war to deter those hostile forces."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er was slightly taken aback. Then she asked, "Does Your Highness mean that the Northern Kingdom no longer needs the Celestials to deter hostile forces, and that it can contend with the entire world based solely on its military strength?"

Lu Chen raised his hand and stroked Murong Xue'er's exquisite, snow-white chin. "It's not enough to contend with the entire world, but it's no problem to withstand the attacks of one or two dynasties."

Murong Xue'er quickly assessed the truthfulness of Lu Chen's words. Seeing the look in Lu Chen's eyes, Murong Xue'er had a feeling that Lu Chen wouldn't lie to her.

Lu Chen continued, "If the Northern Kingdom wants to develop peacefully, it cannot rely on the deterrence of the Celestials. Now that more and more Grandmasters are entering the Dao Integration stage, the fact that Zhuge Chongguang is not a Celestial will be exposed sooner or later. In that case, let's just have a war to determine the status of the Northern Kingdom."

Murong Xue'er said, "Doesn't Your Highness think this is a bit too risky? After all, Your Highness has only been in the Northern Kingdom for a few years. If a dynasty were to launch a full-scale attack on the Northern Kingdom, the Northern Kingdom would most likely not be able to withstand it."

Murong Xue'er did not directly mention that the Great Wu Dynasty was going to attack the Northern Kingdom, but she believed that the Northern King should also know about it.

Lu Chen gazed into Murong Xue'er's jewel-like eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you worried about me?"

Murong Xue'er said "coldly," "Your Highness is overthinking it."

At this point, Murong Xue'er looked away, no longer looking directly at Lu Chen.

At this moment, Lu Chen's hand landed on Murong Xue'er's belt. While untying the belt, he said, "High risk brings high reward. Only by daring to draw your sword can you deter the enemy. Only by swinging your sword can you make some people afraid to draw their swords."

Murong Xue'er was speechless. How could Lu Chen speak so seriously while using his paws to take off his clothes?

However, although she was aware of what might happen next, she did not stop Lu Chen.

Murong Xue'er thought to herself, "Consider it payment for the information I extracted for Lu Chen."
