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

Chapter 78 Lin Wanyun

Beijun, Yancheng.

On the carriage.

Thinking of the woman in black she had just seen, Chen Wanrong immediately turned to the beautiful woman in purple robes beside her and asked, "Aunt Lin, did you see that woman just now?"

Lin Wanyun immediately replied, "I saw it."

Chen Wanrong said expressionlessly, "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be someone close to Emperor Xia."

Several years ago, Chen Wanrong had infiltrated the palace for a long time, so she had some understanding of Emperor Xia's shadow guards. She immediately recognized that the woman in black had fought with her before.

Lin Wanyun pondered for a moment, then said, "I have seen this woman in Chu Yue's palace. This woman is very likely to be Emperor Xia's shadow guard."

Chen Wanrong continued, "Judging from the aura emanating from her, she's at least a Grandmaster. The Emperor Xia would actually send a Grandmaster to protect a useless prince. Aunt Lin, don't you find that strange?"

Upon hearing Chen Wanrong's words, Lin Wanyun did not answer immediately. She naturally felt very strange, but she really couldn't understand why the Xia Emperor would send a Grandmaster to protect a useless prince.

After a long pause, Lin Wanyun finally spoke, "So, the so-called mysterious master in the Prince's mansion is that woman?"

Chen Wanrong fell silent.

She originally thought that she could easily take down the Northern King in Beijun this time, and then use the Northern King to create the Dragon Subduing Curse, so that she could deal with the Xia Emperor in the future.

Unexpectedly, they encountered someone from Emperor Xia's entourage here. If that's the case, their plan might not be so easy to carry out.

Although it's unclear why the Xia Emperor would send someone to protect the useless Prince of the North, there must be a reason for doing so.

One hour later.

North Palace.

Chu Yuqin was patrolling the inner courtyard when a female guard entered and said to her, "Madam Chu, people from Xuan Yue Palace have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment and did not react.

After a long while, she came to her senses and looked at the female guard in front of her, asking, "Xuan Yue Palace? What are people from Xuan Yue Palace doing at the Northern Prince's residence?"

The female guard replied, "I don't know either, but one of the women said she knew you and wanted to meet you."

Upon hearing what the female guard said, the image of a woman flashed through Chu Yuqin's mind.

Chu Yuqin then said, "I understand, I'll be right there."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yuqin followed the female guards to the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, a carriage was parked in front of the Northern Prince's Mansion, and the people inside had not yet gotten off.

After Chu Yuqin arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a beautiful woman dressed in a purple cloud-patterned dress stepped out of the carriage.

Upon seeing that the person who arrived was Lin Wanyun, Chu Yuqin was momentarily stunned, and then she asked in surprise, "Sister Lin, what brings you to Beijun?"

As Chu Yuqin spoke, she approached Lin Wanyun. Lin Wanyun did not immediately answer Chu Yuqin's question, but instead said with a gentle smile, "Qin'er, it's been many years since we last met, hasn't it?"

Chu Yuqin recalled, "Yes, we haven't seen each other since you went to Xuan Yue Palace."

Chu Yuqin glanced at the carriage, then asked again, "Sister Lin, what brings you to Beijun?"

Lin Wanyun replied, "The Palace Master and I were passing through Beijun when I heard that you were also in Beijun, so I wanted to come and see you."

Chu Yuqin was quite surprised to hear Lin Wanyun's answer.

Then she looked at the carriage and asked, "Is the Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace inside the carriage?"

Lin Wanyun nodded. "Mm."

The Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace doesn't usually wander around. When she leaves Xuan Yue Palace, it's usually because of something important.

Chu Yuqin never expected to encounter the Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace in Beijun.

Chu Yuqin quickly said, "Sister Lin, please wait a moment, I'll go tell Chen'er that you've arrived."

At this point, Chu Yuqin prepared to turn around and find Lu Chen.

Although Chu Yuqin knew that she held a very high, albeit hidden, position in the Prince's mansion, and that Lu Chen respected her greatly, she would not make a decision to allow anyone into the mansion without Lu Chen's permission.

Sending someone to the Prince's residence requires either informing the Princess or informing Prince Lu Chen.

Just as Chu Yuqin turned around, Lu Chen happened to come out of the main gate of the Prince's Mansion. "Aunt Chu, I heard we have guests?"

The guards at the gate not only informed Chu Yuqin, but also told Lu Chen that someone had come to the Prince's mansion.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen became curious about what kind of guests the Northern Prince's Mansion could have, so he went to the entrance to take a look.

Seeing Chu Yuqin talking to a beautiful woman, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

This beautiful woman wore a purple cloud-patterned dress, her hair was styled in a high bun, and her hair draped over her fragrant shoulders and placed in front of her chest. She looked elegant, dignified, and graceful, and her beauty was comparable to that of Chu Yuqin.

Lu Chen immediately used the system recognition.

Name: Lin Wanyun

[Identity: Adopted daughter of Lin Gaoyuan, the Left Prime Minister of the Great Xia Dynasty. She later left the Lin family and joined the Xuan Yue Palace. She is a half-step Grandmaster and is 31 years old this year. She followed Chen Wanrong, the Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace, to the Northern Prefecture, intending to use the blood of the Northern King to refine the Dragon Subduing Curse to deal with the Xia Emperor.]

Rating: 95

[Affection level: 60 (because you are her friend's son)]

Seeing the prompt in front of him, Lu Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a beautiful woman with a 95 rating would actually come to his door, and she was even his mother's friend.

No wonder she seemed so familiar with Chu Yuqin.

but……

Although this woman seems to like me fairly much, I'm afraid she's come with ill intentions.

Although Lu Chen didn't know what the Dragon Subduing Curse was, the system description showed that the other party wanted to use his own blood to refine it, and that it was intended to be used against his father, the emperor.

Clearly, the Xuan Yue Palace and the Great Xia Dynasty are enemies.

At this moment, Lu Chen's gaze fell on the carriage again.

Since Lin Wanyun came with the Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace, the evil Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace should be in the carriage. Judging from the name that appeared in the system introduction just now, the Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace seems to be a woman as well.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin's voice brought Lu Chen back to his senses.

"Chen'er, it's just in time that you've arrived. Let me introduce you. This is your mother's sworn sister, Lin Wanyun. She is an elder of Xuan Yue Palace. She went to Xuan Yue Palace shortly after you were born, so you have never met her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen quickly came to the two of them.

Upon seeing Lu Chen, Lin Wanyun immediately bowed and said, "This humble woman greets Your Highness."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "No need to be so polite. You are my mother's sworn sister, so according to this relationship, I should call you Aunt Lin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyun's favorability rating immediately increased by five points.

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but think, "Is it really that easy to increase this woman's favorability?"

It seems like it would be easier to win her over?

If a woman who scores 95 points comes to him of her own accord, Lu Chen certainly won't be polite.

Just then, the curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and a beautiful figure dressed in white stepped down from the carriage.
