"Especially pay attention to whether there have been any suspicious Great Sum rchant caravans going to Qi Country recently, and then entering North Country from there."
Now that Fixed Wind Mountain and Four Directions Mountain had joined hands with the Sum Emperor, they had begun to target and eliminate the Seigniors of Great Sum. Lu Chen suddenly realized he was also a Seignior of Great Sum. Although he was the Sum Emperor's son, given the current situation, among all the Seigniors, he posed the greatest threat.
Additionally, with Great Wu's bitter defeat, North Country's threat had beco even more evident, so Lu Chen suspected that his father might very well send soone to assassinate him.
The relationship between him and his father was devoid of any familial affection. Although the Sum Emperor had not sent anyone to kill him in the past, the Sum Emperor had always wished soone would kill him sooner rather than later. Whether the Sum Emperor would send soone to assassinate him was rely a matter of the Emperor's impulse.
Qin Yushan instantly understood Lu Chen's aning and said imdiately, "Yes, your subordinate will ensure that the Brocade Guard keeps a close watch on their movents."
Lu Chen said, "Don't watch them too closely, after all, they are Pseudo Celestials. If we watch them too closely, it's easy for them to notice they're being monitored, which might spook them instead."
"All right, you may go now."
Qin Yushan bowed again and said, "Your subordinate will take his leave!"
After Qin Yushan left the study, Lu Chen thought to himself, hoping his father wouldn't really send soone to kill him, for he had been born at least with the use of the Sum Emperor's essence.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the Sum Emperor was his biological father in this world.
If the Sum Emperor indeed sent soone to assassinate him, then he would only be able to fight back.
Father and son turning against each other was a scene Lu Chen did not want to witness, as it might be a bad influence on his own child.
Now that Lu Chen was a father himself, he had begun to focus on the upbringing of his children, understanding the importance of leading by example.
As Lu Chen was lost in thought, the voice of a maid rang at the door again, "Prince, the Princess and the others have arrived."
Lu Chen snapped back to reality. The commotion just now had been sowhat loud, and now his wives and concubines were probably very worried. He got up imdiately and walked toward the door of the study.
As soon as Lu Chen ca out, Chu Yuqin approached him with concern and asked, "Chen'er, are you all right?"
Lu Chen glanced at his wives and concubines with a smile and replied, "I'm fine. I just had a breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, the won were startled. They instinctively thought Lu Chen had broken through to the Celestial Realm, but they quickly realized their mistake, rembering the incident with the phenonon triggered by Zhuge Zhongguang last ti.
At that mont, Xiao Wenyao tentatively whispered, "Prince, have you beco a Celestial?"
Xiao Wenyao was rather naive; she was thinking that when Lu Chen was a Grandmaster, he already tornted her to no end. If he had beco a Celestial, she could not imagine how terrifying Lu Chen's strength might have beco.
Spending her days within the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Wenyao, this pure white mare from the prairies, had been tainted by Lu Chen. She always thought of matters between n and won first.
Lu Chen chuckled and glanced at the won again, as they all looked at him expectantly.
He then said, "I've let you down. I haven't beco a Celestial yet. It's not easy to beco a Celestial; one has to pass the trials of this world. For now, I can only be considered a Pseudo Celestial."
Hearing Lu Chen's response, the won felt a bit disappointed, having thought he had already beco a Celestial.
At that mont, Wang Qingci asked with a charming smile, "Prince, what's the difference between a Pseudo Celestial and a Grandmaster?"
Lu Chen replied seriously, "Besides a slight increase in strength, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference."
Chu Yuqin said in confusion, "You've advanced a Realm, how can there be no difference? Even if you haven't officially entered the Celestial Realm, you should have so abilities that only a Celestial would possess, right?"
Then Wang Qingci spoke flirtatiously, "Why don't you co to my room tonight, my Lord. I could help you see what the differences between a Pseudo Celestial and a Grandmaster truly are."
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin snorted coldly, "Bitch!"
They were discussing serious matters, yet this bitch had only one thing in mind—to seduce Lu Chen. What a shaless woman.
Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen smiled and then replied, "Alright, tonight I'll go to your room and test how much my physical condition has improved."
Chu Yuqin gave Lu Chen a sidelong glance and then said, "Since you're all right, Chen'er, we won't disturb you with your official duties."
With that, Chu Yuqin turned around and said to Mu Zixuan and the others, "Zixuan, let's go back."
Mu Zixuan looked at Lu Chen and then said, "Prince, since you're all right, we'll return to the inner court first."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine."
Then the won turned and left for the inner courtyard. Wang Qingci gave Lu Chen a coquettish glance before leaving. Watching her sway as she walked, Lu Chen chuckled, still so seductive after having a child.
But since Wang Qingci wanted to test his strength as a Pseudo Celestial, he would indulge her. Tonight, he would go to Wang Qingci's room and let her thoroughly test him.
After Chu Yuqin and the others had left, Lu Chen returned to his room and sat down to continue managing military affairs.
About an hour later, the maid's voice was heard at the door again.
"Prince, Miss Murong requests an audience!"
