Hearing Liang Zong's reply, Lu Chen contemplated for a mont.
Under normal circumstances, once the Brocade Guard obtained intelligence, they would send soone to Yan County right away.
The fact that the Brocade Guard's scout could leave the Capital city at the sa ti as the envoy group dispatched by Lu Yi ant that as soon as Lu Yi decided to send out the envoy group, he had imdiately sent them towards the North Country.
Lu Yi was in a hurry, eager to establish a connection with the North Country.
At this ti, Lu Chen said, "I understand, go and report this intelligence to the Great Scholar."
Even though Lu Yi's envoy group hadn't arrived in the North Country yet, Lu Chen didn't know how Lu Yi specifically intended to win him over, although Lu Chen had already planned to head south, there was still about a year's ti.
Lu Chen wanted to see if there was a way to use Lu Yi to his advantage.
Taking the letter from Lu Chen's hand, Liang Zong said, "Your subordinate takes his leave!"
Then, Liang Zong turned and left the study to head for the office of political affairs next to the Hall of Political Affairs.
For the ti being, Lu Chen didn't dwell on the matter. Until the envoy group arrived in Yan County, he wouldn't know Lu Yi's specific demands or what conditions Lu Yi would offer to win him over. Pondering too much now was useless; everything would wait until the envoy group reached the North Country. You.
As evening approached.
When Lu Chen was having dinner, Mu Zixuan asked from the side, "Prince, Princess Junwan from Great Wu has been at the Prince's Mansion for several days now and has not once co to Wind Cloud Palace for dinner. Why don't you speak to her and invite her to the Wind Cloud Palace for dinner."
Lu Chen said with a smile, "There's no need for now, let her get used to life at the North Prince Mansion first."
Chu Yuqin said, "Chen'er, I saw the Princess yesterday and noticed that her martial artist's aura is not inferior to mine. She seems to have reached the Grandmaster Realm. Continuing to let her stay in the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion might be a threat."
After all, Wu Junwan was a princess from a hostile nation, and Chu Yuqin always felt uneasy about Wu Junwan, fearing that she might do sothing detrintal to the North Prince Mansion.
Since Wu Junwan arrived at the North Prince Mansion, Chu Yuqin had been closely watching the courtyard she stayed in, desperately afraid that Wu Junwan might harm Lu Chen's wives or children.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Don't worry, she's already my woman now, she won't cause trouble."
Chu Yuqin wasn't aware of the matter with the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, so she was quite worried that Wu Junwan would not be tad by Lu Chen.
Seeing how confident Lu Chen was, Chu Yuqin just sighed softly in her heart and did not say much.
After dinner, Lu Chen went straight to the courtyard where Wu Junwan was staying.
At that mont, Wu Junwan had already had her dinner and had just erged from the bath, redressing in a red Phoenix Robe.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Wu Junwan looked at herself in the mirror, completely calm and quiet, her thoughts unknown.
While she was lost in thought, the voice of a maid ca from the doorway.
Wu Junwan snapped back to reality, her heart tightened, and she instantly beca extrely nervous.
He was here! Truly here!
This little man, she didn't know how he was going to tornt her this ti!
Before Wu Junwan could rise from her seat, Lu Chen had already approached from behind. He rested his hands on her fragrant shoulders and looking at her reflection in the mirror, said by her ear, "Your Majesty, you are truly beautiful."
As he spoke, he lifted Wu Junwan's hair to his nose and took a slow sniff, seeming to greatly enjoy the scent.
At that mont, Wu Junwan wanted to say sothing, but she found herself speechless.
Under soone's roof, what could she say? Surely she couldn't ask Lu Chen to spare her, and this little man certainly wouldn't let her go; besides, to her, matters between a man and a woman were an enjoynt in themselves.
Wu Junwan sat in front of the mirror, still not moving, completely unsure what to do or say next.
Seeing Wu Junwan motionless, Lu Chen asked, "If Your Majesty is willing to answer so questions, I could refrain from staying overnight here."
Hearing these words, Wu Junwan nervously asked, "What do you want to know?"
Lu Chen asked, "I've heard that in the far west of the continent, there is a foggy region, and almost no one who enters it can co out again. Yet, both you and the Yue Emperor not only entered the fog but also ca out of it, moreover, with great strength. The Yue Emperor even broke through to the Celestial Realm. Of course, I'm not certain if she is truly a Celestial."
Wu Junwan frowned slightly, not expecting Lu Chen to suddenly take an interest in the foggy region.
She then warned, "The foggy region is very dangerous. You'd best not be curious about that place."
Lu Chen, lifting Wu Junwan's hair, took a deep breath and said, "That's my affair. You just need to tell what's inside the foggy region, or what lies beyond it."
Wu Junwan replied, "Since you are so interested in the foggy region, I will tell you so things."
"The foggy region is another world. The Yue Emperor and I once shared the sa master. After he led us into the foggy region, we lived there for nearly ten years. During those ten years, I desired to return ho to visit, but no matter which way I went, I could not find my way out of the fog. Until one day, the ground shook, and the fog suddenly vanished for a short while.
It seed our master realized sothing and took the initiative to send both the Yue Emperor and back."
