Regardless of whether the Yue Emperor is a Celestial, his strength is incredibly formidable. Lu Chen decided that from now on, he would treat the Yue Emperor as a Celestial and would not launch an attack on the Da Yue Dynasty without absolute certainty.

The information that Murong Xue'er had told him was quite important. Lu Chen caressed her cheek and then gently toyed with the locks of hair on her face as he said, "Thank you for telling me this intelligence."

Murong Xue'er turned her gaze away and said coldly, "All of this is just a transaction."

With a silent chuckle in his heart at the sight of Murong Xue'er's icy demeanor, Lu Chen thought to himself how quickly women change their faces. This woman had just been coquettishly alluring, but now she had turned into a cold, unemotional statue.

Murong Xue'er continued, "I hope you will keep your promise and let me leave in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen said, "I will keep my promise..."

As if! Lu Chen silently finished the sentence in his mind.

At that moment, Murong Xue'er pushed against Lu Chen's chest and added, "I should go back now, that's enough for today."

Lu Chen immediately turned and made room for her. He had no intention of keeping Murong Xue'er overnight, especially since he had an appointment in Wang Qingci's room later that night.

After getting up, Murong Xue'er began to dress, while Lu Chen still lay in bed, taking in her graceful figure.

After Murong Xue'er had dressed, she turned to look at Lu Chen still lying in bed and said, "I'm leaving now."

Lu Chen then raised his hand, using Spiritual Power to gently pull towards himself. In the next moment, Murong Xue'er's body uncontrollably fell into his arms.

Without struggling, Murong Xue'er let Lu Chen embrace her tender body, and then he kissed her red lips.

After kissing for a while, Lu Chen slowly released Murong Xue'er. Although a flush of red reappeared on her face, her expression remained as cold as ever.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "I'll have someone escort you."

Murong Xue'er said indifferently, "No need. The carriage from the mansion is waiting for me outside the Prince's Mansion."

Without further words, Murong Xue'er turned and walked towards the door of the resting room. Just as she reached the doorway, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and said, "Next time you come to the Prince's Mansion, just spend the night here. I'll have a courtyard prepared for you within the mansion."

Stopping in her tracks, Murong Xue'er turned to face Lu Chen on the bed and said, "My relationship with you is merely a transaction, Prince. There is no need for you to do this."

Lu Chen said indifferently, "If you frequently spend the night at the Prince's Mansion, it will make the Yue Emperor believe that I've fallen for your beauty scheme, which benefits us as well."

Murong Xue'er responded, "I understand," and turned to step out of the room.

After Murong Xue'er left, Lu Chen got out of bed, dressed, and headed straight to Wind Cloud Court for dinner.

During dinner, Lu Chen said to Mu Zixuan, "My love, I plan to have Murong Xue'er stay at the Prince's Mansion. Have the servants prepare a courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zixuan smiled slightly. They had long been aware of what was going on between Lu Chen and Murong Xue'er. "I have already had a courtyard prepared," she said.

Hearing that, Lu Chen said with a smile, "You truly are my beloved, you understand me so well."

Chu Yuqin then asked, "Chen'er, Murong Xue'er is an envoy from the Great Jue, isn't it improper to have her stay at North Prince Mansion?"

Lu Chen said lightly, "There's nothing improper about it. Her main purpose for coming to North Country is due to the Yue Emperor's mission. Having her stay at North Prince Mansion can confuse the Yue Emperor, and this is to our advantage."

Chu Yuqin seemed to understand and said, "Alright, but you should still be cautious of her, she is ultimately one of the Yue Emperor's people."

Although Chu Yuqin also knew that Lu Chen was adept at dealing with women and almost every woman he came into contact with couldn't help but fall for this bad guy, there are always exceptions. She still had her reservations about Murong Xue'er.

Just as Chu's words fell, Wang Qingci, sitting opposite her, said, "Don't worry, Sister Chu. You're not unaware of the Prince's skills. I believe Murong Xue'er has long fallen in love with the Prince, and she's probably already unable to part with him by now."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin snorted and said, "Not everyone is like you."

Lu Chen laughed softly and said, "Chu, rest assured, Murong Xue'er has already pledged her loyalty to me, and she is now one of my people."

Suddenly, Lu Chen remembered something else and said, "These are critical times, and everyone should try not to go out. I have a premonition that there will soon be assassins coming to North Country from the Capital city."

At these words, the women were taken aback. Chu Yuqin, pondering, said, "The Capital city? Chen'er, do you suspect your father the Emperor...?"

Chu Yuqin didn't finish her sentence, as it was unpleasant for a father and son to be involved in such matters.

Lu Chen nodded, "That possibility cannot be ruled out. The strength of North Country is growing rapidly, and so is the threat I pose. In my father's eyes, I was never his son, and there is no familial affection between us. It's quite normal for him to want me gone."

"Of course, this is just speculation," he added.
