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

Chapter 90 New Intelligence

Bai Qingqing knew that she had no choice but to betray Emperor Xia. Her identity had been exposed by Lu Chen, and her body was now under Lu Chen's control.

At this point, she had no choice but to surrender to Lu Chen.

Moreover, she had completely accepted Lu Chen in her heart. In her view, there was no difference between being Xia Huang's tool and being Lu Chen's tool.

She never felt a sense of belonging to the Shadow Guards, and now that she's been controlled by Lu Chen, it's normal for her to become one of Lu Chen's people.

However, she hadn't gotten used to being Lu Chen's woman yet. Before their relationship was rekindled, she wouldn't feel anything even if Lu Chen hugged and kissed her.

However, things are different now. When her skin touches Lu Chen's, she feels restless and hot, and a feeling arises in her heart that she cannot understand.

She couldn't understand the feeling she had last night, especially; she didn't know why she felt like a completely different person.

Not only did she call him names in front of Lu Chen, but she also called him Master, Good Brother, Good Husband, and so on.

She even suspected that there might be another soul inside her body, and that everything that happened yesterday had nothing to do with her, but was caused by that other soul.

At this moment, Lu Chen no longer cared about Bai Qingqing's verbal submission, since her heart already belonged to him.

At this moment, Lu Chen wrapped his arms around Bai Qingqing's delicate body, rolled over, climbed onto her soft body, and looked down at her cold and beautiful face.

Bai Qingqing felt that strange feeling again, just like last night. She tried to circulate her internal energy to stop her body from becoming agitated, but she soon discovered that her internal energy had disappeared again.

Bai Qingqing finally understood that her power would disappear as soon as she came into contact with Lu Chen's body.

However, there are exceptions. When she and Lu Chen develop feelings for each other, her internal energy will return. This is because at that time, her internal energy and Lu Chen's internal energy will form a circle and circulate continuously within their bodies.

In her current situation, she would be unable to circulate her power.

Seeing the icy beauty's shy expression, Lu Chen's mischievous side was immediately aroused, and he started to play pranks again.

Bai Qingqing's body grew increasingly hot; she bit her lip lightly and furrowed her brows slightly.

The more Lu Chen looked at her, the more he wanted to bully her.

At this moment, Bai Qingqing spoke up, saying, "Your Highness, it's time for you to get up."

Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "You, a mere maidservant, dare to teach a prince how to behave? It seems you need to be taught a lesson so you'll understand the rules of the Prince's mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen leaned down. Bai Qingqing tried to turn her head away, but Lu Chen raised his hand, pinched her delicate chin, and immediately kissed her.

"Mmm..."

……

at the same time.

The inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.

After getting up early in the morning, Chu Yuqin began her day's patrol. At this time, a maid came to Chu Yuqin.

"Madam Chu, something terrible has happened!"

Seeing the maid's flustered appearance, Chu Yuqin frowned and immediately asked, "What happened?"

The maidservant hurriedly said, "Commander Qin came to discuss matters with the Prince, but I searched all the ladies' rooms and couldn't find the Prince. It seems he has disappeared."

Generally speaking, Lu Chen would come out of his wives' and concubines' rooms every morning, or he would get up early and go to his study.

However, today the maid first went to the study to check, and then went to Mu Zixuan's courtyard, but she couldn't find Lu Chen. The maid thought Lu Chen had gone missing, so she hurriedly ran to find Chu Yuqin.

Hearing the maid's words, Chu Yuqin pouted.

She naturally knew where Lu Chen had gone.

That scoundrel sneaked off to cheat on his wife last night.

Chu Yuqin then said to the maid, "I know where he is, don't panic. I'll go find him, you go and do your thing."

Seeing that Chu Yuqin had said so, the maid breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, Madam Chu."

Then Chu Yuqin arrived at the courtyard where Bai Qingqing was.

She glanced at Bai Qingqing's door and thought to herself, "It's already so late, Chen'er should be up soon, right?"

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin arrived at Bai Qingqing's room door, intending to remind Lu Chen and Qin Yushan to look for him.

But just then, Bai Qingqing's melodious voice came from inside the room.

Upon hearing the sound, Chu Yuqin knew what had happened.

However, Chu Yuqin was very surprised at this moment.

She wasn't surprised that Lu Chen had eaten Bai Qingqing; she was surprised that Bai Qingqing would behave this way.

Bai Qingqing grew up in the palace when she was just a few years old. Over the years, Chu Yuqin had never seen Bai Qingqing show any other expression.

Even when Bai Qingqing fell to the ground, she didn't utter a sound or cry.

Later, a master said that she was a person without emotions.

But this emotionless person is now speaking like this in front of Lu Chen.

Is she really devoid of feelings?

Or is it that even without feelings, doing that kind of thing can still generate sensations?

Just as Chu Yuqin was thinking this, after Bai Qingqing's loud voice, Lu Chen's voice suddenly came from inside the room, "Aunt Chu, is there something you need?"

Lu Chen's perception is now extremely strong, and he can easily sense if someone is at the door.

He had actually discovered Chu Yuqin peeking at the door last night, but Lu Chen didn't care at all. Moreover, Lu Chen knew that this wasn't the first or second time Chu Yuqin had done this.

Many times, when he and Wang Qingci were swinging on the swing in the courtyard, if Chu Yuqin happened to run into them while on patrol, she would secretly peek at them. And each time, Chu Yuqin would watch for a while and would not leave immediately.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Yuqin at the door was stunned for a moment. Then she remembered that Lu Chen was no longer the same as before, and she didn't know what level he had reached.

In addition, he cultivates immortal techniques, which are definitely different from ordinary cultivation methods, so it's normal for him to be able to sense the people outside the room.

However, the thought of being caught red-handed by Lu Chen while eavesdropping made Chu Yuqin's cheeks burn.

Chu Yuqin then coughed and said, "Chen'er, Commander Qin said he needs to see you. He's already in your study waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately replied, "Oh, okay, I understand. I'll be right there."

At this point, Lu Chen got out of bed, gently stroked Bai Qingqing's cheek, and said with a smile, "Little Bai, it seems you have completely embraced your role as a maidservant."

Bai Qingqing lay motionless on the bed, her face full of shame. She couldn't understand why she had become like this, or why she had those feelings.

Was she always that kind of woman?

Or has she been completely enslaved by Lu Chen? Not only his body, but also his soul.

Lu Chen then got up and dressed, saying as he did so, "I'll come see you again tonight. I have something to do, so I'll leave now. You should lie down and get some rest."

After getting dressed, Lu Chen left the room.

Seeing Lu Chen's departing figure, Bai Qingqing's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

……

Lu Chen went straight to the study without eating breakfast.

Qin Yushan was already waiting for Lu Chen in the study.

Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, Qin Yushan immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Lu Chen hummed in agreement and nodded, then asked, "Commander Qin, is there any new intelligence?"

Qin Yushan came to see him so early in the morning, he must have something important to discuss, otherwise he wouldn't have come to see him so early.

Everyone knows he's the kind of person who likes to sleep in with his wives and concubines, so they usually don't bother him too early.

Qin Yushan replied, "Your Highness, a letter has arrived from the capital. Commander Liang and his team have discovered that the Eighth Prince is colluding with the barbarians. The Eighth Prince has been smuggling a large amount of salt and iron to the barbarian King Tianlang through merchant caravans."

"This southward invasion of 300,000 barbarian troops is probably inseparable from the Eighth Prince and the powerful families of Jiangnan."

At this point, Qin Yushan took out a piece of intelligence that had only arrived that morning from his sleeve.

Lu Chen took the intelligence from Qin Yushan and then carefully read it.

Lu Chen's expression gradually turned ugly. He hadn't expected that the heartless Eighth Prince Lu Shuyun would not only assassinate his brother, but now also commit treason.
