Chapter 314: Chapter 226 Curiosity of Wu Junwan i
As a member of the Mysterious Moon Palace, Lin Wanyun was naturally aware of the effect of the Pair-Wing Butterfly, it was just that she hadn’t expected Chen Wanrong to actually resort to using this tactic.
This was a desperate move that injured the enemy while causing self-harm, once Chen Wanrong consumed the powder from the female Pair-Wing Butterfly, she would likewise develop a strong interest in the man who had taken the male Pair-Wing Butterfly powder, which was why Chen Wanrong initially refrained from this approach.
Of course, another major reason she hadn’t used it before was that it had taken the disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace a considerable amount of time to collect the powder from the Pair-Wing Butterfly, only recently had the disciples sent over the collected Pair-Wing Butterfly Powder to the North Prince Mansion.
Although the Pair-Wing Butterfly Powder could influence people, with Chen Wanrong’s strength, she was fully capable of using her skill to expel the consumed Pair-Wing Butterfly powder from her body, however, by doing so, she would lose her allure to Lu Chen.
Therefore, in order for the Pair-Wing Butterfly Powder to be effective, she had to endure the strange sensations in her body and also ensure that the powder from the wings of the Pair-Wing Butterfly remained inside her.
Once Lu Chen could no longer endure it and came seeking her out, she would take that opportunity to directly implant the Love Worm into Lu Chen’s body.
Lin Wanyun looked at the vial in her hand, then glanced at Chen Wanrong again, and asked with certainty, “Palace Master, are you sure you want to resort to this method? Once the Pair-Wing Butterfly Powder is used, you too might develop feelings for the North Prince.”
Chen Wanrong replied expressionlessly, “We’re out of time. Even if we can’t control him for a long time, we must refine the Subtle Dragon Spell before Zhuge Zhongguang discovers our intentions. Great Sum will be in chaos, this is my last chance.”
Lin Wanyun sighed and said, “Alright, I will seize the opportunity to serve him tea and water to slip the Pair-Wing Butterfly Powder into his drink.”
Having said that, Lin Wanyun turned around and left the courtyard.
After Lin Wanyun departed, Chen Wanrong took out another small porcelain bottle and looked at the female Pair-Wing Butterfly powder in her hand. A faint change came over Chen Wanrong’s frosty expression, as if she had made some determinations
The Imperial Army of Great Sum was about to head south, and the internal war was about to begin; she needed to hurry and refine the Subtle Dragon Spell, then take advantage of Great Sum’s internal strife and the weakened defenses of the Capital city to strike directly at the Imperial Palace and seek revenge for her parents’ death by killing the Sum Emperor.
After the Sum Emperor’s death, the common people from the former territories of Chen Nation would surely be invigorated, and then she would reveal her identity as the Princess of Chen Nation and lead the old officials of Chen Nation to restore the country.
All plans had already been fermenting in the heart of Chen Wanrong, this plan had been brewing for nearly a year, and now it was time to implement it.
The incident today in Yan County quickly spread to other dynasties, and the people from the various dynasties were very surprised when they heard about it.
North Country was clearly just a remote feudal state. Why would Zhuge Zhongguang, the Literature Saint, go there, and why was he so courteous to the North Prince, a mere Seignior? Could it be that Zhuge Zhongguang was planning to move the Universal Academy to North Country?
While the Universal Academy was indeed not well-liked, Zhuge Zhongguang was nevertheless a Grandmaster and securing the Universal Academy would mean gaining the allegiance of Zhuge Zhongguang.
Now that the Grandmaster Zhuge Zhongguang had gone to North Country, it made the rulers of the Great Qian Dynasty very uncomfortable.
Even though the Qian Emperor disliked those self-righteous scholars of the Universal Academy and the court ministers had been wanting to shut it down, the Qian Emperor had refrained from taking action against the Universal Academy for the sake of the Grandmaster Zhuge Zhongguang.
And now, Zhuge Zhongguang had actually gone to the Great Xia Dynasty, and he seemed to be considering moving the Universal Academy there, which made the Qian Emperor very uncomfortable inside.
This was all the fault of those ministers who spread rumors among the populace every day, offending the Grandmaster Zhuge Zhongguang.
To win back Zhuge Zhongguang, the Qian Emperor quickly sent envoys to North Country, wanting to persuade Zhuge Zhongguang to stay in the Great Qian Dynasty, and he also promised that in the future he would provide opportunities for the scholars of the Universal Academy to hold official positions.
At this moment, the Qian Emperor still thought that Zhuge Zhongguang had left in a huff and was completely unaware that Zhuge Zhongguang had already sided with Lu Chen.
The Great Wu Dynasty.
The Green Cloud Palace.
The breathtakingly beautiful Wu Junwan, dressed in a gold-trimmed bright red robe, lay half-reclining on the Phoenix Chair, seeming somewhat listless.
In the grand hall, a middle-aged man was speaking, and after hearing the man’s words, Wu Junwan yawned indolently before saying, “Prime Minister Chai, as a chancellor you are not very competent, are you? Almost a year has passed, and yet the civil unrest in the southwest has not been settled.”
“My father granted you a chance, if it still cannot be resolved soon, he will have to deploy the army to suppress the rebellion by force.”
“I have heard that Great Xia has already sent troops southward to target the Aristocratic Families in the South, at this time Great Xia has no leisure to come and trouble Great Wu.”
After the uprising broke out in the Great Wu Dynasty, the Martial Emperor quickly dispatched a large army to suppress it. Initially, the Martial Emperor and all the courtiers of Great Wu thought that the rebel peasants were just ordinary people, and the rebel forces would disperse in fear once Great Wu’s army arrived; they wouldn’t even need a month to resolve the rebellious troops.
But to everyone’s surprise, until now, Great Wu hadn’t settled the unrest in the southwest, and the Imperial Army had even been brought to a standstill with the rebel forces.
