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

Chapter 87 The Shadow Entering Bai Qingqing's Room

Chu Yuqin was curious about who dared to break into the inner courtyard of the Northern Prince's mansion so late at night.

Those who came to assassinate Lu Chen before have now disappeared without a trace, yet they still dare to infiltrate the Northern Prince's Mansion and make trouble under these circumstances.

After entering Bai Qingqing's courtyard, Chu Yuqin immediately hid behind the rockery, wanting to see what the dark figure was planning to do.

Just then, the dark figure quickly opened Bai Qingqing's room door and slipped inside.

Because the lantern light was too dim, Chu Yuqin couldn't see what the person looked like.

Chu Yuqin couldn't help but wonder why this person would go to Bai Qingqing's room.

Could it be that he's going to do something to Bai Qingqing?

Bai Qingqing was, after all, a martial artist. During the day, she had roughly sensed Bai Qingqing's internal strength, and Bai Qingqing was likely already a ninth-rank martial artist, or even stronger than her.

If this assassin goes looking for trouble with Bai Qingqing, isn't he just courting death?

Moreover, Bai Qingqing has only just arrived at the Prince's Mansion, how could there be assassins coming to cause her trouble today?

Or did the assassin go to the wrong room? Did he originally intend to go to Lu Chen's room, but mistakenly thought Bai Qingqing's room was Lu Chen's room?

Just as Chu Yuqin was thinking this, candlelight was lit in the room.

However, there was no sign of fighting inside the house.

Chu Yuqin was slightly stunned.

What's going on?

Why didn't Bai Qingqing attack the assassin?

Could it be that he and Bai Qingqing are in cahoots?

No, it should be said that Bai Qingqing and that person are in cahoots.

Bai Qingqing has been gone for so many years, and today she suddenly came to find them and said she wasn't leaving anymore, which seemed rather suspicious.

Chu Yuqin has always been quite sensitive about Lu Chen's safety.

Even though Wang Qingci always came to Lu Chen to cultivate their relationship, she had to be wary of Wang Qingci.

Chu Yuqin cautiously approached the room, intending to see what was inside.

Meanwhile, inside the room.

After lighting the candle, Lu Chen looked at Bai Qingqing, who was meditating on the bed.

Bai Qingqing was puzzled to see Lu Chen come looking for her so late, so she asked, "What does Your Highness want with me?"

Lu Chen smiled and replied, "Does that mean I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do?"

As Lu Chen spoke, he walked to the bedside and sat down, his movements so practiced that it was as if he had no idea he was sitting on the bed of an unmarried woman.

When Lu Chen suddenly got so close, Bai Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she suddenly had a very strange feeling.

Lu Chen then asked, "Xiao Bai, do you remember when I used to hold you and tell you stories when you were little?"

When Lu Chen suddenly brought this up, Bai Qingqing became even more puzzled. Why would the Northern King come to her room so late at night just to talk to her about this?

Bai Qingqing replied expressionlessly, "This servant remembers."

At this moment, Lu Chen reached out and took Bai Qingqing's hand, continuing, "Then you should still remember what I said, that you would be my woman when you grow up."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Bai Qingqing finally realized what was going on. She understood why the Northern King had come to her room so late at night.

Back when she was a bed warmer for the Prince of the North in the palace, he was not a well-behaved person.

Furthermore, the intelligence gathered by the Shadow Guards recently also mentioned that the Northern King is an extremely lecherous man.

Why would someone come to her room so late at night instead of sleeping, a lone man and woman? What could it be for?

However, Bai Qingqing did not react too strongly. She seemed like a wooden doll, so much so that she did not stop Lu from touching her inappropriately.

Bai Qingqing said expressionlessly, "This servant is originally the prince's concubine. The prince can have this servant's body whenever he wants."

Seeing Bai Qingqing's cold and expressionless face, Lu Chen felt even more agitated.

The more indifferent Bai Qingqing appeared, the more Lu Chen wanted to see her beg for mercy later, which fueled his desire to conquer her.

However, Lu Chen did not immediately get to the point.

Bai Qingqing's emotions had just recovered, and she had grown accustomed to being hugged and touched by him since childhood, so she didn't know how to resist at all.

Therefore, he planned to reveal Bai Qingqing's identity directly, so that Bai Qingqing would understand that he already knew her true identity.

With her identity exposed, Bai Qingqing will inevitably behave differently.

Lu Chen didn't believe she could remain so calm later.

Then Lu Chen raised his hands and placed them on Bai Qingqing's fragrant shoulders, then gently laid her on the bed. He then lay on her soft body and just looked at her.

Bai Qingqing also stared into Lu Chen's eyes, and she still did not resist.

At this moment, Lu Chen raised her jade-like arms above her head, then grasped both of her wrists with one hand, and whispered in her ear, "Vice Commander Bai, is it worth sacrificing your own innocence to complete the task my father entrusted to you?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's whisper in her ear, Bai Qingqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

She never imagined that Lu Chen already knew her identity.

As her emotions rekindle, Bai Qingqing experiences a range of feelings, such as tension and panic. She is no longer the fearless killing machine she once was.

Bai Qingqing could hardly believe that the Northern King had discovered her identity so soon after she arrived in Beijun.

Moreover, the intelligence gathered by the Shadow Guard indicated that the Northern King was just a useless prince. Combined with her understanding of the Northern King's childhood, the Northern King should indeed be nothing more than a lecherous man.

However, the Northern King on his body was able to see through his identity in one sentence.

Although she was a little nervous, Bai Qingqing, being a seasoned deputy commander of the Shadow Guards, quickly calmed down.

She then said coldly, "Your Highness, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."

Lu Chen's hands wandered restlessly inside Bai Qingqing's clothes, and then, while doing so, he said, "Little Bai, it seems you have indeed grown a lot over the years."

As he said this, he breathed into Bai Qingqing's ear, and Bai Qingqing suddenly felt her heart skip a beat again.

Immediately afterwards, a strange feeling surged into her body, and for a moment her body became somewhat hot, a feeling she had never experienced before.

Bai Qingqing was stunned again. Her emotions had just recovered, and she was experiencing this physical throbbing for the first time. She didn't know how to deal with it.

But she also understood that this must be related to Lu Chen.

Bai Qingqing slightly twisted her delicate body, trying to break free from under Lu Chen.

However, her body had been immobilized by Lu Chen, and she was unable to move at all.

Seeing that Bai Qingqing was starting to struggle, Lu Chen knew that his words had worked. He continued to whisper in Bai Qingqing's ear, "Little Bai, my father sent you to Beijun, probably to see if there are any people from Xuan Yue Palace around me, right?"

Seeing that Lu Chen had even revealed his mission, Bai Qingqing suddenly realized that the Northern King clearly knew more than she had imagined.

This is troublesome. She never expected that her identity and mission would be exposed by the Northern King as soon as she arrived at the Northern King's mansion.
