Chapter 90: Chapter 90 New Intelligence !
Translator: 549690339
Bai Qingqing knew she had no choice but to betray the Sum Emperor. Her true identity had been uncovered by Lu Chen, and now her body was also under Lu Chens control.
At this moment, she had no choice but to surrender to Lu Chen.
Moreover, her heart had completely accepted Lu Chen. To her, becoming a tool for the Sum Emperor was no different from becoming a tool for Lu Chen.
She had never felt a sense of belonging to the Shadow Guard anyway, and now that Lu Chen controlled her, it was only natural for her to become one of his people.
It was just that she wasnt yet accustomed to being Lu Chens woman. Before her feelings revived, even if Lu Chen hugged her, held her close, or kissed her, she wouldnt feel anything.
However, things were different now. Whenever her skin touched Lu Chens, she would feel an agitation within her body, a heat, along with an incomprehensible feeling in her heart.
Especially last nights sensations, they baffled her even more. She didnt understand why she seemed to have become a completely different person.
Not only did she cry out in front of Lu Chen, she even called him master, good brother, darling, and the like.
She even suspected that there was another soul inside her body. Everything that happened yesterday had nothing to do with her; it was all caused by that other soul.
At this time, Lu Chen was no longer concerned with Bai Qingqings verbal submission, for her heart already belonged to him.
Lu Chen now rolled over with Bai Qingqings delicate body in his arms, climbing atop her soft form and looking down at her exquisite, aloof face from above.
At this moment, Bai Qingqing once again felt that strange sensation from the previous night. She wanted to activate her cultivation technique to prevent her body from growing more restless, but she quickly found that her skill had disappeared again.
Bai Qingqing had come to understand that whenever she made physical contact with Lu Chen, her prowess would vanish.
However, there was an exception. When she and Lu Chen were cultivating their feelings, her power would come back, because at that time, the inner strength within her body and Lu Chens would form a circle, constantly circulating between them.
If it was just the current situation, she would be unable to activate her power.
Seeing the Ice Beautys bashful expression, Lu Chen was suddenly seized by a playful mood and started to act wickedly again.
Bai Qingqings body grew hotter and hotter. She bit her lower lip lightly, and her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The more Lu Chen watched her, the more he wanted to tease her.
At that moment, Bai Qingqing took the initiative to speak, Prince, its time for you to get up.
Lu Chen chuckled lightly, and then said, You, a concubine maid, dare to instruct this Prince on what to do? It seems you need a good lesson to learn the rules of the Princes Mansion.
No sooner had the words fallen than Lu Chen leaned down. Bai Qingqing tried to turn her head away, but Lu Chen promptly raised his hand, took hold of her delicate chin, and kissed her.
Mmm
Meanwhile.
Inside the Princes Mansion.
Early in the morning, Chu Yuqin was carrying out her daily inspections when a maid approached her.
Madam Chu, something terrible has happened!
Seeing the maid in a fluster, Chu Yuqin immediately asked, What has happened?
The maid quickly said, Commander Qin has come to discuss matters with the Prince, but 1 have searched all the ladies chambers, and 1 cannot find the Prince anywhere. Its as if he has vanished.
Normally, Lu Chen would emerge from one of his wives or concubines chambers every morning. Otherwise, he would rise early and go to the study.
But today, the maid first went to the study, then to Mu Zixuan and the other ladies quarters, and found no trace of Lu Chen. She thought Lu Chen had disappeared and rushed to find Chu Yuqin.
Hearing the maids words, Chu Yuqin sneered.
She knew exactly where Lu Chen had gone.
That crafty rascal sneaked off to indulge in some illicit pleasure last night.
Chu Yuqin then said to the maid, I know where he is. Dont panic. Ill go look for him. You may go about your duties.
With Madam Chus assurance, the maid breathed a sigh of relief, Yes, Madam Chu.
Afterward, Chu Yuqin headed for Bai Qingqings courtyard.
She glanced at Bai Qingqings room door, thinking to herself, it was already so late, surely Chener would be getting up soon?
With that in mind, Chu Yuqin arrived at the door of Bai Qingqings room, intending to remind Lu Chen that Qin Yushan was looking for him.
But just at this moment, the voice of Bai Qingqing, filled with fluctuations of intonation, came from inside the room.
Upon hearing this voice, Chu Yuqin knew what had happened.
However, at this time, Chu Yuqin felt very surprised.
Her surprise was not that Lu Chen had devoured Bai Qingqing, but that Bai Qingqing would exhibit such a reaction.
Ever since she was a child, Bai Qingqing had grown up in the Imperial Palace, and all these years, Chu Yuqin had never seen Bai Qingqing show any other expression.
Even when Bai Qingqing fell to the ground, she wouldnt make a sound, nor would she cry.
Some masters said she was a person without emotions.
Yet this person, who supposedly had no emotions, was now making such a sound in Lu Chens presence.
Was she really devoid of emotions?
Or was it that even someone without emotions would feel something when engaged in such an act?
While Chu Yuqin pondered this, after Bai Qingqing let out a high-pitched sound, suddenly Lu Chens voice came from the room, Madam Chu, do you need something from me?
Now, Lu Chens perceptive abilities were incredibly strong; he could easily discern the presence of someone at the door.
Last night, he actually noticed Chu Yuqin peeking at the door, but Lu Chen didnt care at all, and he also knew that it wasnt the first or second time Chu Yuqin had spied on him.
Often, when he and Wang Qingci were swinging in the courtyard, Chu Yuqin, while on patrol, would also sneak a peek if they encountered one another, watching for quite a while before moving on.
Upon hearing Lu Chens words, Chu Yuqin at the door froze for a second, then she remembered that Lu Chen was now a changed man; his Realm had ascended to levels unimown to her.
Plus, he practiced the Immortal Law, which was definitely different from ordinary Cultivation Techniques, so it was normal for him to sense people outside of his room.
Yet realizing that her eavesdropping had been caught red-handed by Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin felt her cheeks burning.
Then, Chu Yuqin coughed and said, Chener, Commander Qin said he needed to see you, and hes already gone to your study to wait for you.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately replied, Oh, all right, I know. Ill head over there now.
With these words, Lu Chen got up from the bed and gently caressed Bai Qingqings cheek, smiling as he said, Bai, it seems youve completely assimilated into the role of your concubine maid.
Bai Qingqing lay in bed, her face filled with shame, frozen in place. She couldnt understand why she would change like this, why she would have such feelings.
Was she inherently such a woman?
Or had she been utterly enslaved by Lu Chen? Not only her body but her soul as well.
Lu Chen then got dressed, talking as he did, ill come to find you tonight. Ive got things to do now, so Ill be leaving. You just lie there and rest well.
After getting dressed, Lu Chen left the room.
Watching Lu Chens departing figure, Bai Qingqings gaze was filled with complex emotions.
Lu Chen skipped breakfast and went directly to the study.
At this point, Qin Yushan was already waiting for Lu Chen in the study.
Seeing Lu Chen arrive, Qin Yushan immediately saluted and said, Greetings, Prince.
Lu Chen hummed in acknowledgment, nodded, and asked, Commander Qin, is there any new intelligence?
Qin Yushan coming to him early in the morning surely meant there was urgent business; otherwise, he wouldnt have come so early to find him.
Everyone knew he was a man who liked to cuddle with his spouse and sleep in, so they usually would not disturb him too early.
Qin Yushan replied, Prince, theres a letter from the Capital City. Commander Liang and his team found out that Prince Lu Shuyun has been colluding with the Barbarian Tribe. Through the merchant caravans, Prince Lu Shuyun has been smuggling a significant amount of salt and iron to the Sky Wolf King of the Barbarian Tribe.
This time the Barbarian Tribes army of three hundred thousand moving southward, I fear its likely intertwined with Prince Lu Shuyun and the Aristocratic Families of the South.
With that, Qin Yushan drew a letter from his sleeve, which had just arrived that morning.
Lu Chen took the intelligence from Qin Yushans hand and opened it to read carefully. pTodated ovls on o(v)l()bin(.)cm
The expression on Lu Chens face gradually soured as he had not expected Prince Lu Shuyun, this carefree individual, not only to attempt to assassinate his own brother but now even engage in acts of treason..
