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

Chapter 46 Wang Qingci Reports Intelligence

Lu Chen was completely unaware that he had been targeted by the remnants of the Chen Kingdom. With the arrival of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he became much busier.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard had brought him so much intelligence that he spent his days in his study reviewing the accumulated information.

It must be said that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was truly capable.

Without his master's supervision, the Embroidered Uniform Guard actually investigated some of the old stories of the Great Xia Dynasty very thoroughly.

For example, how his mother died, and how the Xia Emperor, who was helped to the throne by aristocratic families, gradually became an adversary of them.

At this moment, Lu Chen was flipping through the files of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and his brows furrowed more and more as he flipped through them.

According to the records of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the woman that Emperor Xia loved was killed by his mother. Emperor Xia hated his mother very much, and he hated her as well. So much so that when he was born, Emperor Xia even wanted to get rid of his own flesh and blood.

As for why her mother killed the Xia Emperor's most beloved woman, it was all because of those petty squabbles in the harem, like the power struggle for the empress's position.

Lu Chen wasn't interested in those things. What he was interested in now was how to return to the capital. Judging from the Xia Emperor's attitude towards him, it seemed that the only way for him to return to the capital in this lifetime was through rebellion.

Any prince could participate in the struggle for the throne, but he, the Prince of the North, had no chance of participating normally. Emperor Xia would never allow him to return to the capital.

If we're going to go back, perhaps only a corpse can return.

Just then, a charming voice rang out from outside the door.

"Your Highness, are you there? I have important news to report."

Upon hearing Wang Qingci's voice, Lu Chen put down the intelligence report in his hand. "Forget it," he thought, "there are too many things to handle right now, and I can't solve them all in a short time."

Let's take it slow. He has plenty of time. Let him relax first.

"Come in."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Wang Qingci, dressed in a light red gauze dress, entered the study with measured steps.

Wang Qingci has now completely submitted to Lu Chen. Perhaps it's because she and Lu Chen have been cultivating their relationship, but Wang Qingci has become increasingly charming and alluring, almost to the point of being bewitching.

Her delicate nose, soft red lips, slender waist, and jade-like body, coupled with the warm fragrance she exuded, made it impossible for anyone passing by not to want to do something to her.

If Lu Chen weren't already a ninth-grade martial artist, he probably would still be rushing towards Wang Qingci upon seeing her because of the influence of the Dragon Tiger Pill.

Of course, although Lu Chen has been able to control himself, he will not give up on developing feelings for Wang Qingci just because he can control himself.

During the time that Mu Zixuan and the other two were pregnant, Wang Qingci was basically the one taking care of him, and she would come to the Wang residence almost every day.

Compared to Mu Zixuan and the other two, Lu Chen felt a stronger urge towards Wang Qingci.

Perhaps it was because of Wang Qingci's status as the most beautiful courtesan, but the thought that this courtesan, admired by thousands, was just one of his female slaves made Lu Chen extremely excited.

It must be said that sometimes one's identity is a complement to their appearance.

After entering the study, Wang Qingci said softly, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Lu Chen glanced at Wang Qingci, then directly reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her forcefully into his arms.

Wang Qingci did not resist and immediately sat in Lu Chen's lap.

In front of this man, she had no power to resist, nor did she need to resist. She was his slave, and he could do whatever he wanted to her.

Lu Chen asked, "What do you want from me?"

Wang Qingci replied, "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince sent me a letter saying that the master of the Blood Moon Pavilion plans to come to Beijun in person and asked me to collect information about recent events in the Prince's Mansion, especially to find out about the situation of that mysterious grandmaster in the Prince's Mansion."

Ok?

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

Has his eighth brother still not given up?

Having been in Beijun for so long, he should know that the Chu family hasn't sent anyone to contact him. Why would they come looking for trouble?

As Lu Chen stroked Wang Qingci's body, he asked, "The Blood Moon Tower's master should possess Grandmaster-level strength, right? Did he come to assassinate me?"

Wang Qingci replied, "The Eighth Prince didn't tell me anything. He only asked me to report on what the Prince's Mansion has been doing lately, and whether that mysterious master has made any moves."

Lu Chen thought to himself that his eighth brother probably didn't know that their father had already planned to take action against the Jiangnan aristocratic families. Even at this point, he still wanted the support of the Chu family.

I don't want him and the Chu family to be ruined together.

At this moment, Wang Qingci suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, Your Highness, I have also found out something else."

Lu Chen asked, "What is it?"

"I heard that the entire Mu family has been exiled to the Northwest."

The intelligence network of Yanyu Pavilion is also quite powerful, and Wang Qingci is able to learn about events happening in the capital very quickly.

After learning about the matter concerning the Duke of Mu's mansion, she thought that since the Princess Consort was also the Duke of Mu's daughter, Lu Chen would probably care about this matter, so she took the initiative to bring it up.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately replied, "I already know about this."

Wang Qingci then said, "Then I have nothing more to say."

At this point, Wang Qingci shifted slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable sitting.

At this moment, Lu Chen said with a smile, "No, there's one more thing."

"I was a little tired just now, so I need to relax for a bit."

Hearing this, Wang Qingci gave Lu Chen a resentful look, then got up and leaned over the table to tidy up the scattered intelligence on Lu Chen's desk.

……

[The host has cultivated a relationship with Wang Qingci once, thus gaining 20 experience points for the Qi Refining Technique and 20 experience points for the Rejuvenating Hand. Congratulations, host, on breaking through to the second level of the Rejuvenating Hand.]

After hearing the notification tone, Lu Chen glanced at Wang Qingci, who was now slumped over, and felt somewhat confused.

He knew that martial artists had a harder time getting pregnant.

However, ever since Mu Zixuan and the others became pregnant, Wang Qingci has come to the Wang Mansion almost every day to cultivate their relationship, but Wang Qingci still has no child.

Although Wang Qingci is a ninth-rank martial artist, isn't it too difficult for her to get pregnant?

It's been almost a year.

Could it be that Wang Qingci has a health problem?

Lu Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with his body, after all, he had taken the Dragon Tiger Pill and drunk the Dragon Phoenix Tea.

It can only be that something is wrong with Wang Qingci's health.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then used his Rejuvenating Hand to examine Wang Qingci's body.

He has already broken through to the second level of the Rejuvenation Hand technique, making it very easy for him to check a person's body for hidden injuries or diseases.

When he placed his hand on Wang Qingci's stomach, the state of Wang Qingci's internal body instantly flashed into his mind.

Wang Qingci's body is perfectly healthy, just like any other normal woman.

That's a bit strange.

Even though there's nothing wrong with my body, it's so hard to get pregnant.

Could it really be because she is a ninth-rank martial artist?

Wouldn't it be even more difficult for me to get a beautiful woman pregnant in the future?

Just then, Wang Qingci suddenly spoke up, "Your Highness, when do you plan to get rid of your Aunt Chu? She's been getting more and more jealous lately and dislikes me more and more."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "What do you mean? Do you think I would do something disrespectful to her?"

Wang Qingci said, "The moment Your Highness hears the name 'Aunt Chu,' he becomes even more ferocious. Do I need to say anything more?"

Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "It seems you still don't understand what a female slave is. How dare you interfere in my affairs? I must teach you a lesson today."

"Oh! Your Highness, I know I was wrong."

"Oh, dear brother."
