Chapter 18 Lu Chen's Attitude Towards Taking a Concubine

Daxia Dynasty.

A certain restaurant in the capital.

At this time, a woman wearing a veil was kneeling behind Lu Shuyun. Lu Shuyun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the attic in the distance.

After a long while, Lu Shuyun spoke up and said, "It's been so long, and you, Yanyu Pavilion, haven't made any moves. I really don't understand. What's the point of me supporting you?"

Hearing this, the woman behind Lu Shuyun hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Saint has contacted the Northern King. Once the Saint confirms that the mysterious master has left the Northern King's Mansion, she will take action immediately. I believe that the Saint will be able to complete the task soon!"

Lu Shuyun said coldly, "Soon? What I need is a certain time!"

Hearing this, the woman fell silent and did not continue to speak.

Just then, a man entered the room.

"Your Highness, the Blood Moon Tower has agreed, but they asked for five times more money this time than last time, but they will send the deputy owner!"

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun's anger subsided a little.

Originally, he had no intention of continuing to look for the Blood Moon Tower. After all, the last assassination attempt on the Blood Moon Tower failed, and the Yanyu Pavilion he supported also had people in Beijun. At first, he planned to let the people from the Yanyu Pavilion take action.

However, the voices calling for a neutral prince have been growing louder and louder recently, which has given Lu Shuyun a sense of urgency. He needs to get the help of the Chu family as soon as possible.

Once he gets the help of the Chu family, he will basically get the support of the Jiangnan family, and the possibility of him being made the prince will be greatly increased.

Lu Shuyun has also sent people to contact the Chu family recently, but the Chu family does not seem to have much interest in him, which makes Lu Shuyun always feel that the Chu family has not given up on his useless brother.

In his opinion, the mysterious master next to Lu Chen was sent by the Chu family. The Chu family has sent a master to protect Lu Chen, so how could they give up on him?

So Lu Chen must be eliminated.

Lu Shuyun asked at this time: "How strong is the deputy master of the Blood Moon Tower?"

Lu Shuyun's subordinates immediately replied: "Your Highness, it is said that his strength has reached the level of a half-step master."

Lu Shuyun thought for a while, even if the master next to Lu Chen was still there, the deputy master of the Blood Moon Tower should be able to hold him back, and then the other people in the Blood Moon Tower would have the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with Lu Chen.

In addition, the Misty Rain Pavilion also sent many masters to Beijun. Lu Chen had at most one master and Chu Yuqin.

As for Li Feng, he was only a seventh-grade master, not to be feared.

Lu Shuyun then said to the man in the room: "You go and tell the Blood Moon Tower that five times the price is five times the price, but this king must see the head of the King of the North."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After the man finished speaking, he left the room, leaving only the woman wearing a veil in the room.

At this time, Lu Shuyun said to the woman again: "Write a letter to Wang Qingci immediately and ask her to cooperate with the assassination operation of the Blood Moon Tower. If the Blood Moon Tower can lead the master of the Northern Palace away, the Misty Rain Pavilion will take action immediately."

"Yes."

After that, the woman also left the room.

Lu Shuyun put his hand on the windowsill, looking in the direction of the palace, tapping the windowsill with his fingers, muttering:

"My good brother, it's almost time for you to go down."

...

Beijing, the eldest prince's residence.

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, the eldest prince Lu Yi smiled, "Xiao Ba is really cruel and ruthless. Xiao Jiu has gone to Beijun, but he still doesn't plan to let him go."

At this time, a guest in gray robes next to Lu Yi said, "Your Highness, what are you going to do this time?"

Lu Yi thought for a while and said, "I thought that if I spread the rumor that Xiao Jiu was protected by a master, Xiao Ba would give up. It seems that this trick is useless."

"Xiao Jiu can't die. If he dies, how can I win over the Chu family?"

Lu Yi and Lu Shuyun have different maternal identities and different positions, so they have different things to do.

Lu Shuyun wants to get rid of Lu Chen because he wants the Chu family to have no choice, because his mother is also from a Jiangnan family. Without Lu Chen, the Jiangnan family can only support him with all their strength.

Lu Yi believes that Lu Chen is the grandson of Chu Xiong, the head of the Chu family. Even if the Chu family has really given up Lu Chen, Chu Xiong still has personal feelings for Lu Chen. Getting rid of Lu Chen is equivalent to offending Chu Xiong.

Even if the Chu family really had to support Lu Shuyun because of the interests of the Jiangnan family, this incident would leave a knot in Chu Xiong's heart.

What Lu Yi had to do was very simple. He wanted to let the Chu family see his goodwill, so as to further divide the Chu family and other Jiangnan families.

So Lu Yi's position was more inclined to protect Lu Chen.

And in his opinion, Lu Chen was just an unlearned and useless prince. Princes like Lu Chen were no threat to his position as the crown prince.

In the future, when he inherited the throne, he could even support Lu Chen to become the new leader of the Jiangnan family. A useless prince who was unlearned and unskilled was much easier to control than those Jiangnan families.

At this time, Lu Yi said to a guest beside him: "Mo Dongping, you will spread the news that the deputy owner of the Blood Moon Tower is going to Beijun later."

The deputy owner of the Blood Moon Tower is going to Beijun, which makes Lu Yi have to worry whether Lu Chen is really going to be in trouble this time.

Lu Yi thought to himself, "Xiao Jiu, I can only help you up to this point. From now on, it depends on whether you are lucky enough."

...

At this time, Lu Chen still didn't know what happened in the capital.

For the next period of time, he continued to stay in the Northern Palace, cultivating feelings with Zhou Youyou every day.

Mu Zixuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao were both pregnant, and now Zhou Youyou was the only one left to serve Lu Chen, which made Zhou Youyou a little miserable.

Lu Chen was already a fourth-grade warrior, and he had taken the Dragon and Tiger Pill, so Zhou Youyou, a weak woman, was no match for him at all.

North Courtyard.

Mu Zixuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao walked towards the yard while talking.

According to the perfume drawings provided by Lu Chen, they had already made some perfumes. There were many flowers planted in the North Courtyard, and they planned to use these flowers in the North Courtyard to try to make new perfumes.

However, just as they were about to enter the yard, they heard a faint female voice coming from the pavilion in the distance, sometimes low and sometimes high.

At this time, the two little maids who were responsible for Zhou Youyou's food and daily life came to Mu Zixuan and the others with red faces.

"Meet the princess."

Seeing the two little maids' faces so red, they instantly understood what had happened.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoxiao said tentatively: "Sister, now that I am pregnant, only Youyou is left to serve the prince, and the prince seems to like doing that more and more recently. Youyou can't handle it alone. Do you want to ask him if he is willing to take a concubine?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao knew that she was just Lu Chen's concubine, so it was not appropriate for her to say such a thing as taking a concubine, and she could only let Mu Zixuan say it.

She didn't know whether Mu Zixuan was willing or not, after all, Mu Zixuan was the princess, the mistress of the Northern Prince's Mansion.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao's words, Mu Zixuan sighed, "Sister, I actually told the prince about taking a concubine a long time ago. The prince said that his attitude on taking a concubine is to prefer to have nothing than to have something unqualified, and he doesn't like ordinary women."
