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

Chapter 79 Is this really the legendary useless prince?

Upon seeing the woman get out of the car, Lu Chen froze on the spot.

The woman's exquisite face was as cold as ice. She was dressed in white, her skin was smooth and delicate, her hair was tied in a cloud-like bun, and there seemed to be a plum blossom-shaped mark on her forehead. Her figure was graceful and charming, and she exuded a holy light, just like a fairy descended from heaven.

Lu Chen forgot to use the system to identify the woman's information for a moment, and only came back to his senses when the woman spoke.

"This humble woman greets Your Highness."

Although Chen Wanrong was the palace master of Xuan Yue Palace, Xuan Yue Palace was nominally under the jurisdiction of Da Xia, so she still needed to pay her respects when she met the princes of Da Xia.

Chen Wanrong's voice was clear and melodious, possessing a unique allure that stirred a restless feeling within listeners.

After regaining his senses, Lu Chen stammered, "No...no need for formalities."

Lu Chen then immediately used the system to identify the woman's information.

Name: Chen Wanrong

[Identity: Remnant of the Chen family, Princess of Chen, Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace, 21 years old, Grandmaster level. Her main purpose in coming to Beijun is to get close to the Northern King, control him with a love potion, and then use the Northern King's blood to refine the Dragon Subduing Curse to deal with Emperor Xia and avenge the Chen Kingdom.]

Rating: 98

【Favourability: 10】

Upon seeing the rating of 98, Lu Chen realized that a rating of 98 was not an exaggeration at all. He thought it wouldn't be an exaggeration to give it a perfect score of 100.

Keep in mind that Chu Yuqin only has a rating of 97.

Thinking about it this way, for every point above 95, a woman's appearance would improve by several levels.

Of course, Lu Chen didn't think Chen Wanrong was much prettier than Chu Yuqin. The key was the aura she exuded, as if she were a fairy, which was what made Lu Chen's heart flutter the most.

After the initial excitement subsided, Lu Chen quickly calmed down and then smiled at Chen Wanrong, saying, "It is my honor that Palace Master Chen is a guest of my palace. Aunt Lin, Palace Master Chen, please come in."

Seeing Lu Chen staring intently at Chen Wanrong, Lin Wanyun sighed inwardly.

She knew that the Northern King had taken a liking to Chen Wanrong's beauty.

It will probably take less than two days for Chen Wanrong to use the Love Gu on the Northern King. At that time, the Northern King will be completely controlled by Chen Wanrong and eventually become a tool for refining the Dragon Subduing Curse.

As Chu Yue's sworn sister, Lin Wanyun felt reluctant to see Lu Chen get into trouble, but they had to use the Dragon Subduing Curse to deal with the Xia Emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen led Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun into the Prince's Mansion.

Upon entering the main courtyard of the Prince's mansion, Lu Chen immediately instructed a maid to brew a pot of Dragon and Phoenix Tea.

After the tea was served, Lu Chen personally poured a cup for Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong, and then said, "Aunt Lin, Palace Master Chen, you must be tired from your journey. This is a special tea from the Prince's Mansion, which can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue. Please try it."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Lin Wanyun immediately picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then used her internal energy to check if anything had been added to the tea she had just drunk.

After the examination was completed, Lin Wanyun took another sip.

Lin Wanyun's two movements were quite subtle and would not be noticeable to most people, but Chen Wanrong could tell. After Lin Wanyun took the second sip, Chen Wanrong was certain that there was nothing added to the tea.

Although this was in the Northern Prince's residence, Chen Wanrong, as the Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace, was still quite cautious.

Knowing there was nothing in the tea, Chen Wanrong raised her hand, picked up a cup of tea, and took a small sip.

In an instant, Chen Wanrong felt a cool sensation flow into her body, which then spread throughout her entire body, making her feel incredibly comfortable.

Chen Wanrong was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the tea from the Northern Prince's residence would actually have a refreshing and invigorating effect.

Seeing that Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong had both drunk the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, and then he asked, "Miss Chen, Aunt Lin, what brings you to Beijun this time?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Wanyun replied, "We just happened to be passing through Beijun."

Lu Chen feigned regret and said, "So you were just passing through Beijun. It seems you'll be leaving Beijun soon."

Lin Wanyun said with a smile, "Although we are just passing through, the Palace Master and I plan to stay in Beijun for a while longer."

Lu Chen said calmly, "I'm afraid that won't work. You will soon have to leave Beijun."

Lin Wanyun asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Chu Yuqin said from the side, "Sister Lin, the barbarian army will soon be heading south, and Chen'er's wives, concubines, and children will also be leaving Yancheng for Anping City."

This was no secret. The Prince's Palace was about to announce it to all the people of Beijun. At that time, all the people of Beijun would know about the barbarian invasion from the south, so Chu Yuqin just said it out loud.

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's words, Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were both slightly taken aback.

Neither of them expected that they had arrived at such an inopportune time, when the barbarians would actually march south at this moment.

However, the southward migration of the barbarians doesn't seem to have had much impact on their plans, does it?

After all, a useless prince like the Northern King should be afraid of death. If the barbarians march south, the Northern King should also flee south. They only need to follow the Northern King.

Lin Wanyun then asked, "Will the Prince also travel south with the people?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "Northern Commandery is my fiefdom, and I am the king of Northern Commandery. How could I possibly leave Northern Commandery? I will fight the barbarians to the death in Yan City to protect Northern Commandery!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were stunned again.

They hadn't expected the Northern King to have such a bold spirit.

Isn't it rumored that the Northern Prince is a useless prince who only knows how to indulge in pleasure in the palace all day long?

How could a useless prince possibly have such awareness?

Or is it that the barbarian invasion this time actually involved very few soldiers, and they were just raiding and plundering as usual, so the Northern King was not worried that the barbarian cavalry would attack Yan City, which is why he was so fearless?

At this moment, Chen Wanrong asked, "Your Highness, how many barbarian soldiers did the barbarians send this time to invade the south?"

Lu Chen replied, "According to the intelligence we have gathered, the barbarians have sent 300,000 cavalry to the south to establish a kingdom in Beijun. They intend to occupy Beijun and make Yancheng their capital."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wanrong frowned slightly.

Three hundred thousand troops!

According to the intelligence she knew, the Northern County only had 30,000 soldiers.

Under these circumstances, the Northern King did not intend to flee south. Instead, he said he would fight the barbarians to the death in Yan City.

Thirty thousand against three hundred thousand—this is a war with absolutely no chance of winning!

Is this really the infamous useless prince?

Just in terms of sheer spirit, he is far superior to those high-ranking officials in the capital who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long.

After only meeting the Northern King, Chen Wanrong's opinion of Lu Chen changed significantly.

She believed that there might be a problem with the intelligence of their Xuan Yue Palace. The Northern King was definitely not the kind of man who spent his days indulging in pleasure in the palace, as rumored.

Lin Wanqing changed her name to Lin Wanyun
