Chapter 46 - 46: 46 Wang Qingci Reports on Intelligence!

Translator: 549690339

Lu Chen had no idea he was already being targeted by the remnants of Chen Nation. With the arrival of the Brocade Guards, he became much busier.

The information brought by the Brocade Guards was overwhelming, and he had spent the last few days in his study poring over the accumulated intelligence.

It must be said, the abilities of the Brocade Guards were indeed formidable.

Even without his oversight as their master, the Brocade Guards had managed to thoroughly investigate some of the old affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty.

For instance, the truth about his mother’s death, and how the Sum Emperor, supported by the Aristocratic Families, had gradually become antagonistic towards them.

At that moment, as Lu Chen was flipping through the Brocade Guards’ files, his brows grew more furrowed by the minute.

According to the records, the woman loved by the Sum Emperor was murdered by his mother, and the Sum Emperor had hated her immensely, directing that hatred towards him as well, to the point that the Sum Emperor had even contemplated getting rid of him at his birth.

As for the reason why his mother had killed the Sum Emperor’s favorite woman, it was nothing more than the petty affairs of the Harem, such as the strife for the position of Empress.

Lu Chen had no interest in those matters. What he was interested in now was how he could return to the Capital city. Judging by the Sum Emperor’s attitude towards him, it seemed that his only way back to the Capital city in this lifetime might be through rebellion.

Any Prince could partake in the struggle for power, except for him, the North Prince. There was no way he could normally participate; the Sum Emperor would never allow it.

To return, only his corpse might accomplish that.

Just then, a charming voice called from outside the door.

“Prince, are you there? This servant has important matters to report.”

Hearing that it was Wang Qingci’s voice, Lu Chen set aside the intelligence in his hands. Well, there were too many matters, and they could not be resolved in a short while.

Better to take it slow. He had plenty of time, so he might as well relax a bit first.

“Come in,” he said.

As Lu Chen’s words fell, Wang Qingci, dressed in a thin red gauze, entered the study with even steps.

By now, Wang Qingci had completely submitted to Lu Chen. Maybe it was because of the frequent cultivation of their relationship, but she had become increasingly charming and almost bewitchingly so.

A delicate nose, soft red lips, a slender waist, and skin as white as jade… combined with the warm fragrance emanating from her at all times, even just passing by her would make one involuntarily think of doing something to her.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Lu Chen was already a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, he might have pounced on Wang Qingci, driven by the effects of the Dragon and Tiger Pill.

Of course, although Lu Chen could now control himself, it did not mean he would give up on cultivating a relationship with Wang Qingci.

During the time when Mu Zixuan and the other two were pregnant, Wang Qingci had mostly been the one tending to him, and she almost visited the Prince’s Mansion every day.

Compared to the other three, Lu Chen felt a stronger impulse towards Wang Qingci.

Perhaps it was due to her identity as an Oiran. Just the thought of the much-adored Oiran only being his Female Slave excited Lu Chen immensely.

It must be said that sometimes status complements appearance.

When Wang Qingci entered the study, she said softly, “1 have seen the Prince.”

Lu Chen glanced at Wang Qingci and then, lifting her delicate hand, he pulled her forcefully into his arms.

Wang Qingci did not resist and soon sat in Lu Chen’s embrace.

In front of this man, she had no power to resist, nor did she need to. She was his Female Slave, at his behest to do with as he wished.

Lu Chen asked, “What is it you want to see me about?”

Wang Qingci replied, “Prince, Prince Lu Shuyun has sent a letter, saying the Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower plans to visit North City personally and wants this servant to gather recent developments from the Prince’s Mansion, especially to find out about any movements from that Mysterious Grandmaster.”

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback.

Was his brother Shuyun still not giving up?

After having stayed in North City for so long, he should know that the Chu Family had not sent anyone to make contact with him. Why would he still trouble himself with Lu Chen?

While stroking Wang Qingci’s body, Lu Chen asked, “The Tower Master of Blood Moon Tower should possess Grandmaster strength, right? Is he coming to assassinate me?”

Wang Qingci answered, “The Prince did not tell this servant. He only asked this servant to report what has been happening in the Prince’s Mansion lately, and whether there has been any activity from that Mysterious Grandmaster.”

Lu Chen thought to himself that his brother Shuyun probably didn’t yet know that their father, the Sum Emperor, was planning to move against the Aristocratic Families in the South. With so much at stake, he still aspired to gain the Chu Family’s support?

“Just don’t end up being abolished alongside the Chu Family,” she warned.

Just then, an idea seemed to strike Wang Qingci, and she continued, “That’s right, Prince, I also inquired about something else.”

Lu Chen asked, “What is it?”

“I heard that the entire Duke Mu Residence has been exiled to the northwest.”

The intelligence network of Misty Pavilion was also quite formidable. They quickly obtained news of events happening in the Capital city, which Wang Qingci could then learn.

Upon learning the news about Duke Mu Residence and considering that the Princess Consort was also Duke Mu’s daughter, Lu Chen would likely be concerned about this. Hence, she took the initiative to bring it up.

However, upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately said, “I already know about it.”

Wang Qingci then said, “Then I have nothing else to report.”

As she said this, Wang Qingci shifted her body slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable sitting down.

At that moment, Lu Chen said with a smile, “No, you have one more thing to do.”

“Coincidentally, I was feeling a bit tired just now and need to relax.”

Hearing this, Wang Qingci gave Lu Chen a resentful glance and, understanding what he implied, stood up and leaned over the table to tidy up the scattered intelligence papers on his desk.

[Host and Wang Qingci foster affection once, Qi Refinement Mantra Experience + 20, Rejuvenating Skill Experience +20, congratulations to the host for Rejuvenating Skill reaching the second level.]

After hearing the prompt, Lu Chen glanced at Wang Qingci, who was sprawled out, feeling somewhat perplexed.

It was known that martial artists had difficulty conceiving, and he was aware of that.

However, ever since Mu Zixuan and the others had become pregnant, Wang Qingci had been coming to the Prince’s Mansion almost daily, fostering affection with him every day, but still, Wang Qingci remained childless.

Even though Wang Qingci was a ninth-grade martial artist, wasn’t this difficulty in getting pregnant a bit too much?

It had been almost a year.

Could there be an issue with Wang Qingci’s body?

Lu Chen wouldn’t think the problem lies with his body. After all, he had taken the Dragon and Tiger Pill and drunk the Dragon and Phoenix Tea.

It could only be something wrong with Wang Qingci’s body.

After a moment of thought, Lu Chen used his Rejuvenating Skill to check Wang Qingci’s body.

The Rejuvenating Skill had reached the second level, and for him to check for any hidden injuries or diseases in someone’s body was very easy.

When he placed his hand on Wang Qingci’s abdomen, the conditions inside her body flashed through his mind in an instant.

Wang Qingci’s body did not have any issues and was much like any regular woman’s.

This was rather strange.

Her body was fine, yet getting pregnant was so challenging.

Could it indeed be because she was a ninth-grade martial artist?

If that was the case, wouldn’t it be even more difficult for him to have children with a beautiful woman in the future?

Just then, Wang Qingci suddenly spoke up, “Prince, when do you plan on ‘eating’ your Madam Chu? Her jealousy is growing stronger by the day, and she’s becoming increasingly annoying to me.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen’s expression froze for a moment, then he chuckled and said, “What do you mean by that? Do you really think I would do something disrespectful to her?”

Wang Qingci said, “The moment you hear the words ‘Madam Chu,’ you become even fiercer. Do you still need me to spell it out for you?”

Lu Chen huffed a laugh, then responded, “It seems you still don’t understand what a female slave is, daring to meddle in my affairs. Today, you must be properly disciplined.”

“All! Prince, I know my mistake,” she pleaded.

“Mmm, good brother,” she cooed.
