After Prince Zhen Nan set foot on the ground, even he found it hard to believe his own condition; now he felt exceptionally good physically.
Ever since he suffered the backlash of spiritual evil, he had been lying in bed, and he had long grown weary of such days. After all, he was once one of Dazhou’s top strong people, and had the dignity of a strong person. Letting a strong person lie in bed all the ti, resolving all necessities in bed, naturally hurt his dignity.
Prince Zhen Nan was unbelievably excited inside. He tried taking steps forward, walking two steps ahead.
When people present saw Prince Zhen Nan easily take two steps forward, they were even more amazed. Could it be that Prince Zhen Nan will recover?
If that were the case, then Zhen Nan Prince Manor could sustain for a long period. With their princely heir’s talent, it wouldn’t take long for Zhen Nan Prince Manor to produce another Earth Realm Strong Person. By then, the princely heir can take over Prince Zhen Nan’s position, and the crisis of Zhen Nan Prince Manor would be resolved.
At this mont, Prince Zhen Nan took a deep breath, looked up at Lu Chen, and said, "Chen’er, I feel filled with vitality, maybe I can live a few more years. In the coming years, as long as I’m alive, go ahead and do whatever you want."
Originally, Prince Zhen Nan intended for Lu Chen to keep a low profile. After all, if he died, the Royal Family of Zhou might act against Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
If the Royal Family knew Lu Chen has great talent, they would be even less likely to tolerate his existence, and would certainly try every ans to assassinate Lu Chen.
However, after Prince Zhen Nan’s body regained so vitality, his thoughts changed. Since Lu Chen’s talent is so high and his realm advances quickly, it’s best to help Lu Chen grow rapidly while Prince Zhen Nan can still protect him. As long as Prince Zhen Nan is alive, the Royal Family will dare not act recklessly.
Of course, the most important thing is Lu Chen displaying enough talent, to better stabilize the associates or forces of Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
Anyway, the Royal Family has already shown signs of acting against Zhen Nan Prince Manor. If Zhen Nan Prince Manor does nothing, it will only make the Royal Family take more advantage.
Moreover, they are already involved in the power struggle between Emperor Zhou and the Empress Dowager. Even if they do nothing, the Empress Dowager will not spare Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
Upon hearing Prince Zhen Nan’s words, Lu Chen imdiately said, "Yes, Father."
Then Prince Zhen Nan glanced at the people in the room and said, "I plan to enter the palace and ask Emperor Zhou for a marriage for Chen’er."
As soon as Prince Zhen Nan finished speaking, Zhao Yu imdiately asked, "Is the lady Princess Yun’an?"
Nowadays, Ji Yunng and Lu Chen are quite close, and there is speculation outside about whether Ji Yunng has any intentions towards Lu Chen. Especially considering Ji Yunng recently gifted a sword to Lu Chen, which indicates her standing with Zhen Nan Prince Manor, so the princess Prince Zhen Nan wants Lu Chen to marry is most likely Ji Yunng.
Prince Zhen Nan replied, "Indeed it’s Princess Yun’an. I had planned to burn vitality and enter the palace to et Emperor Zhou at the ti of my passing, but unexpectedly, the backlash of spiritual evil suddenly beca so fierce, nearly taking directly."
"Now that I’ve returned from the gates of hell, this matter cannot be delayed any further, to prevent anything else from happening."
Although Prince Zhen Nan can now walk, the backlash of spiritual evil is permanent. Lu Chen temporarily absorbed the Black Evil within Prince Zhen Nan. He temporarily regained so vitality, but in a while, such Black Evil will be generated again within him, and he will still suffer backlash.
If the next backlash of spiritual evil cos suddenly, he might not withstand it, so he must arrange the marriage between Lu Chen and Ji Yunng while he can still move.
At this mont, Lu Xun stepped forth and said, "Your Highness, to et Emperor Zhou may not be easy. Now Emperor Zhou is already confined by the Empress Dowager in the Long Life Hall."
Upon hearing Lu Xun’s reminder, Prince Zhen Nan said indifferently, "It might be difficult for others, but for , it’s an easy matter. I don’t believe anyone would dare stop from seeing Emperor Zhou."
He possesses Dragon Qi; in the Capital city, ordinary people can’t harm him. If they prevent him from seeing Emperor Zhou, he will certainly run to find Pei Shuhua. Everyone knows he is a dying man; if they don’t comply with a dying man, what he might do is uncertain.
Prince Zhen Nan scanned the people in the room again and said, "That’s all for today. You all may leave. I just recovered and need to calm down the spiritual evil in my body."
The crowd replied in unison, "Yes, Your Highness."
Afterward, the people left the room. Once everyone had gone, Lu Chen spoke up, "Father, rest well. I’ll also go back now."
Prince Zhen Nan said, "Okay."
Lu Chen then turned to leave the room. As Prince Zhen Nan watched Lu Chen’s departing tall figure, a smile of comfort appeared on his face.
...
On a street in the Capital city, a carriage was slowly heading towards the Deceit Suppression Bureau.
Inside the carriage, Lu Yu curiously asked He Dongqi, "Sir, weren’t you planning to test Zhen Nan Prince Manor to see if Prince Zhen Nan is a Wolf Demon? Why did you leave so soon?"
He Dongqi went to Zhen Nan Prince Manor mainly for two purposes: one was to keep Lu Chen in Zhen Nan Prince Manor to sort the files of the Deceit Suppression Bureau; the other was to see if Prince Zhen Nan really faced any trouble.
But since He Dongqi arrived at Zhen Nan Prince Manor, he hadn’t inquired about Prince Zhen Nan, leaving the possibility of the Wolf Demon being Prince Zhen Nan unresolved.
Upon hearing Lu Yu’s question, He Dongqi said blandly, "No need to probe intentionally. A simple visit to Zhen Nan Prince Manor is enough to ascertain that the Wolf Demon is not Prince Zhen Nan."
If Prince Zhen Nan had truly transford into a Wolf Demon, everyone at Zhen Nan Prince Manor would be extrely tense, and entering Zhen Nan Prince Manor would probably not be easy. But they welcod us directly into the reception hall.
Of course, the most telling thing was Lu Chen’s reaction. Lu Chen is rely a playboy. Generally, when a family undergoes major changes, such playboys often are at a loss.
If Prince Zhen Nan truly faced sothing, Lu Chen would be the least willing to let it be leaked. When eting outsiders, he would inevitably show so worry or anxiety.
But when He Dongqi t Lu Chen, he did not sense any concern or anxiety for the future from Lu Chen’s face, which indicates the support behind Lu Chen hasn’t fallen, aning Prince Zhen Nan hasn’t faced trouble.
He Dongqi continued, "Facing the visit from the Commander of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, Lu Chen was so calm, proving that Prince Zhen Nan hasn’t beco a malevolent creature."
Lu Yu said, "Could it be possible that he’s just putting on a brave front?"
He Dongqi partially closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and said indifferently, "He’s just a playboy; facing such a big change in Zhen Nan Prince Manor, there’s no way he could be this calm. He would definitely show a hint of unease."
