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

Murong Xue'er knew Lu Chen's character all too well. Although she had been ambushed by Lu Chen, she had no choice but to accept it and let him do as he pleased.

After a while, Lu Chen's anger subsided slightly, and he said to Murong Xue'er, "Shall I introduce you to someone?"

Murong Xue'er asked groggily, "Uh...who?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Naturally, it's the person you came to ask me about today."

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er immediately sobered up a bit. She turned to look at Lu Chen and asked, "You didn't do that to her, did you?"

The reason why Murong Xue'er was so eager to enter the Northern Prince's Mansion to inquire about Wu Yunwan was mainly because the Emperor wanted to know whether his good friend had been mistreated after arriving in the Northern Kingdom.

Lu Chen smiled and countered, "What do you think?"

Seeing Lu Chen's sly smile, Murong Xue'er was taken aback. "You...how could you...treat her..."

"She's...the Emperor's good friend..."

"Slower……"

Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "Does it matter to me whose friend she is?"

Murong Xue'er was speechless. That made sense. It wasn't like she had just met this bad man. How could this lecherous man be afraid of who was behind Wu Yunwan? He was just an animal who thought with his lower body.

Murong Xue'er said, "Forget it... If Emperor Yue finds out about this... you'll have to bear the consequences."

Murong Xue'er didn't want to remind Lu Chen of anything anymore. Anyway, this man was fearless and dared to touch any woman.

Lu Chen then said, "How about this, I'll let her meet you. You two are both close friends of the Emperor, one a maidservant and the other a close friend. I'm sure you'll get along well."

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er thought that Lu Chen planned to let her meet Wu Junwan again after he finished doing his bad deed, so she said without hesitation, "Okay...okay..."

As soon as Murong Xue'er finished speaking, Lu Chen said to the maid at the study door, "Xiao Huan, go and summon the eldest princess of Da Wu to the study. I have something to discuss with her!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er was stunned. This bastard actually called Wu Yunwan here at this time. What did he want to do with Wu Yunwan at this time? Did he want her to watch a pornographic play?

Murong Xue'er was about to rebuke Lu Chen, but Lu Chen's actions left her speechless.

at the same time.

Wu Junwan remained seated in the pavilion in the outer courtyard, wanting to see how long it would take for the woman to emerge from Lu Chen's study after she had entered.

Just then, a maid came out of the courtyard where the study was located. Wu Yunwan did not realize that the maid had come to see her until the maid walked up to her. Only then did Wu Yunwan understand why the maid wanted to see her.

Xiao Huan bowed to Wu Junwan, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!"

Upon hearing the maid's words, Wu Junwan's face darkened. She used to want to be an empress, but recently she suddenly didn't want to hear the words "empress" or "your lord".

She had come to understand Lu Chen's perverse sense of humor. This guy made her play the role of an empress, and then he would wantonly humiliate her to satisfy his perverse desires.

Although she was unhappy, Wu Yunwan did not scold Xiao Huan. After all, Xiao Huan was just a maid. The maids only did what Lu Chen, that little man, said. Even if she scolded the maids, it wouldn't change anything.

Wu Yunwan asked coldly, "What do you want with me?"

The maid came out from the courtyard where the study was located, so Lu Chen must have something to talk to her about. Wu Yunwan was a little curious about why Lu Chen wanted to talk to her at this time.

Xiao Huan said, "Your Majesty, the Prince requests your presence in his study."

Upon hearing Xiao Huan's words, Wu Junwan was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

In her view, the study was the core area of ​​the Northern Prince's Mansion and the location of its secrets.

She had wanted to visit the study for a long time, but she wasn't entitled to.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen actually took the initiative to ask her to go to the study.

This man is incredibly bold.

Wu Yunwan immediately stood up and said, "Take me there!"

Xiao Huan said, "Your Majesty, this way please!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Huan led Wu Junwan to the outside of the study.

The study door was closed, but some sounds could still be faintly heard. Wu Junwan was puzzled by the strange yet familiar sounds coming from inside the study.

Unlike the old palace, the new palace's doors and windows were not made of paper. The new palace's doors and windows had good sound insulation, so Wu Junwan could only hear intermittent sounds, which made her unaware of what was happening inside.

Just then, Xiao Huan opened the door to the study for Wu Junwan and said, "Your Majesty, please go in. The Prince is waiting for you in the rest room."

At this point, the maid Xiao Huan's face turned bright red.

The moment the door opened, the sounds inside instantly grew louder. Murong Xue'er's voice was crystal clear. Upon hearing this, Wu Yunwan frowned, wondering if Lu Chen was doing something improper in the study.

However, Wu Yunwan didn't think much of it and went straight into the study. As soon as Wu Yunwan entered the study, Xiao Huan closed the door behind her. Wu Yunwan didn't care and continued walking into the study.

As she got closer to the rest room, the sound became clearer and clearer. When she reached the door of the rest room, she was stunned by what she saw.

Although she had anticipated what might happen, not seeing it directly was still frustrating.

At this moment, a woman was kneeling on a piece of white paper covered with writing, while Lu Chen's large hand held her slender waist. The woman's hand holding the brush trembled slightly, as if she wanted to write but could not put pen to paper.

Wu Junwan glanced at the white papers on the ground, then at the layout of the room. The room was filled with calligraphy and paintings, giving it a scholarly atmosphere.

The result was that in this room filled with the fragrance of books, Lu Chen was doing this kind of thing.

What's most infuriating is that this little man clearly knew he was inside, yet he continued doing his own thing, as if she didn't exist.

Wu Yunwan then coldly asked, "You summoned me here just to see you do this to other women?"

At this moment, Lu Chen looked up at Wu Junwan and said with a smile, "How could that be? I'm just introducing you to someone."

At this point, Lu Chen grabbed Murong Xue'er's hand and pulled her up, making her look at Wu Yunwan. Then, Lu Chen put one arm around Murong Xue'er's lower abdomen to prevent her from falling down.

"The woman I'm introducing to you is the one Emperor Yue gave to me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Junwan was taken aback.

She remembered what Hu Shu had asked her to do before.

Hu Shu asked her to inquire whether Murong Xue'er had engaged in any sexual activity with Lu Chen.

Wu Yunwan glanced at Murong Xue'er, whose face was flushed and who seemed to want to speak but couldn't, and chuckled inwardly.

She had actually considered asking Lu Chen about this matter at the time, but now that she thought about it, why would she need to ask? A great beauty had entered the Northern Prince's mansion and fallen into the hands of this lecherous man. Would he do nothing?

Judging from Murong Xue'er's appearance, her mind and body have probably already become Lu Chen's. She doesn't even know how many times this man has tormented her.

Wu Junwan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. She had initially thought that this woman had come to the study because of something important, but it turned out that they were discussing the Dao of Life in the study.

Lu Chen continued, "One of you is the most trusted maid of Emperor Yue, and the other is Emperor Yue's best friend. I believe you must have a lot in common."

"Why don't you let Xue'er live in your courtyard from now on, and live with you?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan pondered for a moment, feeling that Lu Chen had some kind of conspiracy.

Murong Xue'er, who had been silent until now, finally regained some composure and spoke, "This servant, Murong... Xue'er, greets... the Princess... ah!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yunwan said calmly, "I am no longer the eldest princess of Da Wu. Now I am merely a prisoner of the Northern Prince's mansion."

Lu Chen laughed and said, "What are you saying? I didn't stipulate that you have to stay in the Prince's Mansion and can't go out."

Wu Yunwan did not continue the topic. She said, "If there is nothing else, I will not disturb you any longer."

With that, Wu Junwan turned and left; she didn't want to see the two adulterers doing such shameful things there.

As Wu Yunwan turned to walk out of the study, Lu Chen's voice came from behind her, "Go and tell the maids in your courtyard to prepare a room. From now on, Murong Xue'er will stay with you in the Northern Prince's Mansion."

Wu Yunwan did not respond or stop walking; she simply left the study.

After Wu Junwan left the study, Lu Chen continued with his own business.

It was evening.

Wu Junwan was enjoying the beautiful sunset in her courtyard when Murong Xue'er, dressed in black and white, walked into the courtyard.

Wu Junwan glanced at Murong Xue'er. Murong Xue'er had already changed her clothes; her original clothes had been torn by Lu Chen in the study.

Murong Xue'er then walked to Wu Yunwan's side, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Princess!"

Wu Yunwan said expressionlessly, "I have already said that I am no longer the eldest princess of Da Wu, and you no longer need to call me eldest princess."

Murong Xue'er didn't dwell on the form of address; she simply said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Wu Yunwan glanced at Murong Xue'er again, then said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Murong Xue'er then went into the pavilion and sat down opposite Wu Junwan.

Wu Yunwan said directly, "Senior Hu asked me to inquire whether you had engaged in sexual relations with the Prince of the North. She didn't ask you directly, which means she doesn't trust you anymore."

Hu Shu was originally from the Dayue Dynasty, and was also someone close to the Empress. If she had any questions, she could have asked Murong Xue'er directly; there was no need for Wu Yunwan to inquire.

Therefore, Wu Yunwan believed that Hu Shu did not trust Murong Xue'er, which was why he asked her to inquire personally.

Murong Xue'er was not surprised to hear Wu Yunwan's words.

It's highly likely that Hu Shu wants to know if the curse mark on her body has any effect on the Northern King. If it hasn't worked, then she'll pretend the curse mark doesn't exist. If it has worked, then it means that Murong Xue'er has successfully controlled the Northern King.

However, the problem remains: why didn't the Empress directly tell her that the virginity mark on her body was actually a curse mark? It seems that the Empress never trusted her from the beginning. Even at this point, the Emperor Yue still sent others to gather information, instead of letting Hu Shu tell her directly that she had a curse mark on her body.

Murong Xue'er then said, "Thank you for telling me this, Your Highness."

Wu Junwan glanced at Murong Xue'er again.

Murong Xue'er has a cold demeanor and stunning beauty; any man would be attracted to her.

Wu Yunwan asked directly, "How many times have you and the Northern King done that kind of thing?" (End of Chapter)
