Chu Yuqin did not know who the visitor was this time, but since there was a guest, she definitely wanted to meet them.
Subsequently, Chu Yuqin followed the Prince’s Mansion’s trusted aide to the entrance.
The moment she stepped out of the Prince’s Mansion, Chu Yuqin was slightly startled.
Although the woman had changed a lot, becoming even more beautiful and stunningly cold, Chu Yuqin still recognized her at first glance.
Chu Yuqin said with some disbelief, “Little… Bai?”
The expression on Bai Qingqing’s face remained icy cold, as if it were frozen.
Chu Yuqin did not doubt anything because of her indifferent expression, as Bai Qingqing had always been like this since she was a child.
The grandmaster who had taken her away back then said she had a special constitution, one that would never allow her to have any feelings her whole life, making her an excellent martial arts prospect.
Chu Yuqin had thought she would never see Bai Qingqing again, and yet, there she was at the North Prince Mansion today.
Chu Yuqin immediately approached Bai Qingqing, and with a blank expression, Bai Qingqing said, “Madam Chu, I was passing through North City, so 1 wanted to come and see you.”
Bai Qingqing’s demeanor was very aloof, but upon hearing these words, Chu Yuqin felt an immense wave of emotion inside.
Bai Qingqing was a maid whom Chu Yue had taken in back in the day. Originally, Chu Yue intended for Bai Qingqing to become Lu Chen’s concubine maid, but after discovering Bai Qingqing’s talent for martial arts, Chu Yue temporarily shelved the idea.
After Chu Yue passed away, Bai Qingqing was taken away by the grandmaster who had recognized her martial arts potential.
Bai Qingqing was only three or four years older than Lu Chen, and back when they were in the Imperial Palace, because Chu Yue wanted her to be a bed-warming maid for Lu Chen, they lived together eating, sleeping, and residing closely. Over time, in Chu Yuqin’s eyes, Bai Qingqing became like a little sister.
Seeing her long-lost sister once again, how could Chu Yuqin not be overjoyed?
At this moment, Chu Yuqin suddenly thought of something and turned to the soldier beside her, saying, “Go immediately and tell the Prince that Bai Qingqing has arrived.”
“Yes, Madam Chu.”
Although the soldier did not recognize the woman before him, judging by Chu Yuqin’s excited mood, this person must also be especially important to the Prince.
As the soldier’s voice faded, he turned and entered the Prince’s Mansion to notify Lu Chen.
Chu Yuqin approached Bai Qingqing, took her jade-like hand, and asked with concern, “Little Bai, where have you been these years?”
Bai Qingqing replied, “1 have been practicing in the mountains with my master.”
Chu Yuqin said, “It must have been very hard.”
Bai Qingqing said indifferently, “It wasn’t hard.”
Chu Yuqin smiled faintly and continued, “Chen’er will be so happy to know you’re here. After you left, he missed you every day, spending many nights restless and unable to sleep.”
Meanwhile.
Inside the Prince’s Mansion.
Lu Chen was in his study looking through the intelligence reports gathered by the Brocade Guards when a soldier came to the door and said, “Prince, Madam Chu told me to inform you that a woman named Bai Qingqing has come to the Mansion.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen paused for a moment.
The name seemed too distant; he had almost forgotten it.
But he still remembered the bed-warming maid he would hug every night when he was a child.
“Bai Qingqing? Could it be the concubine maid that my mother had prepared for me?”
Lu Chen had a profound impression of Bai Qingqing, though her name wasn’t quite familiar to him. He knew her surname was Bai.
He also remembered that the concubine maid always had an expressionless, icy face; she never showed any emotion, which he found quite interesting. The girl didn’t seem scared of him at all, even though he was a Prince.
When he had nothing to do, he would always try to make the concubine maid smile.
Sometimes he would even tease her in bed, but regrettably, despite her being by his side for so many years, he had never managed to make her laugh.
Later, he heard from his mother that Bai Qingqing apparently was born emotionless, which then made him realize why she always had a stone-cold expression.
A woman devoid of emotions wouldn’t show expressions, after all, as she wouldn’t even know how to express happiness, anger, sadness, or joy.
After some thought, Lu Chen murmured to himself, “I remember she seemed to have followed some Grandmaster to cultivate? How did she end up in North City?”
Lu Chen then got up from his chair and opened the door to ask, “Where is she now?”
The soldier replied, “Replying to Your Highness, Madam Chu and the woman are still at the entrance of the Prince’s Mansion.”
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Lu Chen didn’t hesitate and headed straight for the entrance of the Prince’s Mansion.
Upon reaching the entrance, he saw a woman as stunning as an icy snow lotus.
Her body seemed to emit a special aura that deterred people from approaching, as if getting close to her would expose them to her chill.
Bai Qingqing had changed a lot since her childhood; she had become much more beautiful, with a figure that was curvy in all the right places. Coupled with a frosty face, it gave Lu Chen a desire to conquer her.
Lu Chen then used the system to identify her.
[Name: Bai Qingqing]
[Identity: Deputy Commander of the Great Sum Shadow Guard, 20 years old, Master Realm, has been planted next to Chu Yue since childhood by the Sum Emperor to infiltrate, and has come to North City following orders of the Sum Emperor, who believes there are people from the Mysterious Moon Palace by the North Prince. The Sum Emperor wants to know what the Mysterious Moon Palace intends to use the North Prince for, so he sent Bai Qingqing to supervise the North Prince.]
[Rating: 95]
[Favorability: 0 (needs Dragon and Phoenix Tea to restore her emotions)]
Upon seeing Bai Qingqing’s profile, Lu Chen was stunned.
Bai Qingqing was actually one of his father’s people?
This…
Does that mean that perhaps his father put a lot of effort when his mother had issues?
He had always thought Bai Qingqing was just an unemotional bed-warming maid, unaware of the depth of her concealed identity.
If it weren’t for activating the System of Lots of Sons and Lots of Blessings, he might still be unaware that Bai Qingqing was one of the Sum Emperor’s people, let alone know that she was also the Deputy Commander of the Shadow Guard. The Shadow Guard was a significant force around the Sum Emperor, and becoming a Deputy Commander indicated Bai Qingqing’s exceptional prowess.
However…
No matter who Bai Qingqing was or what her identity was, as long as her rating was over ninety and she had come to the Prince’s Mansion, she was a woman for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen thought to himself that his father was quite thoughtful. Knowing that it was hard for him to find women with a rating over ninety in North City, his father had specially sent him one, and a woman of the Master Realm at that.
Chu Yuqin, who was suddenly talking with Bai Qingqing, realized she was staring behind her. Sensing something, she turned her head and saw Lu Chen had arrived. She immediately said to Lu Chen, “Chen’er, do you recognize her? It’s Bai, the maid who grew up with you from childhood.”
Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen smiled and said, “Of course, I recognize her.”
Lu Chen then approached Bai Qingqing and said, “Bai, it has been many years since we last met, hasn’t it? I’ve missed you all these years. Without you, I couldn’t even sleep well..”
