Chapter 271: Chapter 200: I’m Happy to Help You_2
Qin Yushan replied, “Prince, this is a kind of drug that can seal all the meridians in the body. As long as you take this drug, a martial artist’s skill will be sealed, and they will be unable to use their inner strength, much like an ordinary person.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen thought to himself, if someone had given him this drug that day, would his skill also be sealed?
With this thought, Lu Chen asked, “Does this pill have any other side effects?”
Qin Yushan was startled. He had not expected Lu Chen to ask this question, as they themselves did not consume the pill—it was meant for their enemies. As to whether it had any specific side effects, they really did not know.
Qin Yushan then said, “This subordinate is not sure about that, but usually, we just need to give them the antidote, and they can quickly recover their skill.”
Lu Chen then said, “Give a pill to this prince to try.
Qin Yushan hastily said, “Prince, you absolutely must not!
Qin Yushan had not expected Lu Chen to actually be interested in this pill. After all, Lu Chen was a prince; how could he just casually consume something?
Lu Chen said, “It’s fine, you also have the antidote on hand. Just give one to this prince to try.”
Seeing that Lu Chen insisted on trying the pill, Qin Yushan said no more; he immediately took out a pill and handed it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen swallowed it in one gulp, and as soon as he did, he felt as though the pill dissolved within his body, and Qin Yushan watched nervously, afraid that something might happen to Lu Chen.
Realizing that the pill had no effect inside his body, Lu Chen reacted instantly. Oh, it seems he has a Poison Immunity Body; all the poisons in the world have no effect on him, and this pill is considered a poison.
His Poison immunity Body had not been utilized for such a long time that he had almost forgotten he possessed this ability.
Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to be fine, Qin Yushan was stunned.
No effect?
This pill could seal the skill of even an Extreme Realm Master upon consumption, yet there was no effect at all when the North Prince took it.
Carefully, Qin Yushan asked, “Prince, do you need the antidote?”
Lu Chen said indifferently, “This pill is of no use to this prince. When you are guarding those assassins, don’t always think that a single pill will make them obedient.”
Qin Yushan felt a bit awkward. He had not anticipated that there would be someone in the world completely immune to the poison of such a pill.
Qin Yushan then said, “The Prince is right; this subordinate will ensure that the Brocade Guard soldiers keep a strict watch and will not let them have a chance to escape.”
Lu Chen glanced over the crowd and then said, “Now that everything has been resolved, this prince should return. The rest is up to you.
“The houses of the common people that were damaged have to be compensated with silver. 1 believe these assassins should have quite a bit of silver on them— they were even throwing silver to use grenades, clearly, they are wealthy.” As Lu Chen’s words fell, he turned around and departed, and Qin Yushan and the others immediately said, “We see the Prince off!”
Lu Chen had just walked a few steps when he heard Qin Yushan’s voice from behind, “Hand over all the silver you have on you.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled faintly. He believed that Qin Yushan and the others would handle the compensation issue for the common people’s houses well.
Inside the North Prince Mansion, the main hall.
Lu Chen’s wives and concubines were sitting in the main hall at this moment, waiting for Lu Chen to return.
Unlike the last time, when the North Prince Mansion was attacked by an assassin and they all hid in the underground passage, this time, with Bai Qingqing and Chen Wanrong, two Grandmasters protecting them, they did not have to hide underground.
Although they knew Lu Chen had changed and possessed great strength now, Mu Zixuan, along with Xiaozhou and Dazhou, still showed worried expressions.
Seeing their worried expressions, Chu Yuqin comforted them, “Zixuan, you don’t need to worry, Chen’er will be fine.”
Hearing this, Mu Zixuan smiled slightly and then said, “Madam Chu, I believe the Prince will definitely be alright.”
At that moment, Chen Wanrong swept an indifferent glance over the women in the great hall, and on seeing these women, she couldn’t help but think to herself that it was no wonder Lu Chen had not sought her out. With so many beautiful wives and concubines, reveling night after night, and changing partners daily, even the most lascivious of men would not be able to withstand it. Lu Chen would have no inclination to come find her.
It seemed she would have to be more proactive. Her Love Worm had been ready for some time, yet there had been no opportunity. If this continued, her worm might well starve to death.
Just as Chen Wanrong was thinking about having Lin Wanyun create an opportunity for her to be alone with Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin said to her, “Miss Chen, we’re troubled by this matter.”
Chen Wanrong responded indifferently, “It’s only right.”
Lin Wanyun added, “Yuqin, since we reside in North Prince Mansion, and Chen’er has treated us so well, it’s only natural that we should step forward to help when North Prince Mansion is in need.”
Although Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong intended to send disciples from Mysterious Moon Palace to aid Lu Chen, he had only asked the two of them to keep watch over North Prince Mansion and did not request that the Mysterious Moon Palace send people to act with him.
Of course, even so, it pleased both women to some extent, because it meant Lu Chen had, to a degree, accepted the Mysterious Moon Palace and accepted them. All they needed to do was take one step further, and then they could begin to implement their plan.
No sooner had Lin Wanyun finished speaking than a maid rushed in hurriedly, “Your Highness, the Prince has returned!”
On hearing this, Mu Zixuan immediately stood up and handed over her child to the wet nurse.
After a short while, a tall and burly young man appeared at the doorway. On seeing Lu Chen return, his wives and concubines all surged forward.
Mu Zixuan asked with concern, “Prince, you haven’t been injured, have you?”
Lu Chen took Mu Zixuan’s jade hand and said with a smile, “I’m fine. The more formidable assassins have mostly been dealt with. There may still be some assassins hiding in the shadows that we haven’t discovered, but they don’t pose a great threat to North Prince Mansion. It’s sufficient to intensify patrols.” At this point, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Chen Wanrong, “Miss Chen, I’m very grateful to you for this time.”
Chen Wanrong still maintained an expressionless face as she replied, “Ihere s no need to thank me.”
Lin Wanyun hurriedly tugged at Chen Warning’s dress, signaling her to be less curt in her speech. Chen Wanrong caught on to the concern and then, still expressionless, added, “I’m glad to be of help to you.
Lin Wanyun sighed internally. That response would have to do, she supposed. Chen Wanrong rarely conversed with men, so it was quite something for her to say even this much.
Lin Wanyun glanced at Mu Zixuan and the others and then said, “Chen’er, since most of the assassins have been taken care of, if there’s nothing else, the Palace Master and I will head back first.”
Lu Chen replied, “Yes, alright.”
What followed was time for Lu Chen and his wives and concubines. As outsiders from Mysterious Moon Palace, it wasn’t quite appropriate for them to remain there, so Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong left the great hall together. After Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun left, Lu Chen soothed his wives and concubines and then had them return to their respective rooms.
Once they were all gone, Lu Chen did not spend the night in Mu Zixuan’s room. After absorbing the skill of three Grandmasters, he felt his body was tremendously restless, completely devoid of sleepiness, and his vitality surged exceptionally strong.
Since Mu Zixuan was already pregnant, given his current condition, he definitely could not stay with her. He had to either visit Spring Sound Court or spend the night in Chu Qingli’s room.
Lu Chen decisively chose Chu Qingli’s room. After reaching an agreement with Chu Qingli last time, they had only been intimate once, as he had not found an opportunity since then.
The main reason was that Chu Yuqin and Chu Qingli lived in the same courtyard, with their rooms adjacent to one another. Whenever he wanted to visit Chu Qingli to foster their relationship, he would see Chu Yuqin, making it somewhat difficult for him to make a move.
But this evening, Chu Yuqin was on duty in the inner court, which afforded him an opportunity.
Chu Qingli had been in the main hall at first, but after Lu Chen told them to return, she went back to her own room.
It was her sister’s turn to watch over the inner court that night, so she didn’t need to stay outside.
Back in her room, Chu Qingli slowly removed her outer garment, revealing her smooth skin. She planned to take a bath and then go straight to sleep. However, just then, she suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open from outside.. Chu Qingli instantly became alert, “Who’s there!”
