Chapter 123: Chapter 120 Queen of North Prince Heads North_2

Translator: 549690339 |

Ever since she followed Mu Zixuan and the others on their journey south, she spent almost every day inside her own room. Although she was Lu Chen’s female slave, her relationship with Mu Zixuan and the others was still quite good.

It was only that Chu Yuqin had always looked at her with displeasure, and Wang Qingci couldn’t be bothered to compete with Chu Yuqin for favor in Lu Chen’s absence, so she simply avoided joining them for chats and tea.

At this moment, Wang Qingci lifted a hand, her fingers as delicate as jade, and raised the hem of her long red silk dress, revealing her snowy white legs, then she sighed and said, “My Young Prince, when will this servant be able to see you again? I can no longer bear it.”

Wang Qingci felt that her current life was extremely dull. She used to fear that Lu Chen would be harsh with her, but now that she hadn’t seen him for so long, she actually felt uncomfortable.

She began to think that she was truly lowly, that if Lu Chen didn’t torment her severely, she felt uneasy inside.

Just then, the voice of a maid rang outside the door.

“Miss Wang, the Queen of North Prince has ordered that everyone in the Prince’s Mansion start packing immediately. We will return to Yan County by evening!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingci was momentarily stunned, then suddenly rose from her couch.

She quickly walked to the door, opened it, and asked, “What? Pack our luggage?

The war has ended?”

The maid responded, “It is said to have ended. Everyone in the Prince’s Mansion is talking about how the Prince killed two hundred thousand soldiers from the Barbarian Tribe in North City, and also captured another hundred thousand.”

Hearing this, Wang Qingci was stunned once more.

Was the Young Prince so fierce?

She had always thought that his fierceness was only in bed.

To have slain two hundred thousand from the Barbarian Army and captured another hundred thousand, how did he accomplish that?

But then again, the Young Prince has always been a mysterious man. Since he dared to remain in Yan County, it meant he was confident from the start that he could hold back the Barbarians.

Although the victories achieved were somewhat unbelievable, considering the Young Prince was behind it all, even the impossible seemed possible.

With this thought, Wang Qingci’s admiration for Lu Chen suddenly deepened, and for a moment, she felt her delicate body warming up. She even involuntarily squeezed her legs together, wishing she could be by her Young Prince’s side right now.

At the same time.

In a pavilion of the temporary Prince’s Mansion.

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun were meditating when they felt the maids and servants around the mansion becoming busy, turning the once quiet Prince’s Mansion lively.

Both opened their eyes simultaneously.

Chen Wanrong looked at the maids bustling in the courtyard and turned to a nearby maid to ask, “What’s happening?”

The maid said, “This servant is not sure, I will go and find out immediately.” After that, the maid left the pavilion to inquire among other servants and maids. She soon returned to Chen Wanrong’s side.

With a joyful expression, the maid excitedly said, “Miss Chen, Miss Lin, the Queen has ordered us to pack quickly. We will be returning to Yan County before sunset.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyun asked with confusion, “We’re returning to Yan County so soon? Has the war already ended?”

The maid replied, “It is said to have ended, and not just that, the Prince led the soldiers of North City to slay two hundred thousand Barbarian soldiers and captured another hundred thousand!”

Upon receiving the maid’s answer, both Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were taken aback.

They looked at each other, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes. To have slain two hundred thousand from the Barbarian Army?

And captured another hundred thousand?

Even if they were exaggerating their military achievements, this seemed too audacious, right?

Even if the North Prince had indeed defended Yan County and North City and held back the Barbarians from advancing southward, it was still improbable that he had killed two hundred thousand Barbarians.

The situation in North City was well known to their Mysterious Moon Palace.

What was the North Prince up to?

Such an exaggeration of military achievements, wasn’t he afraid of the imperial court’s blame?

Of course, more astonishing to Chen Wanrong than the exaggerated achievements was the fact that the North Prince had actually managed to hold back the Barbarian Tribe with the meager forces of North City.

One should know that the Barbarian Tribe had three hundred thousand soldiers, and all of North City combined with the seventy thousand soldiers supported by the imperial court totaled only over a hundred thousand. Moreover, the Barbarian soldiers were more fierce and valiant in battle. Apart from relying on the walls of Yan County, the soldiers of North City had no significant advantage.

At that moment, Lin Wanyun said to Chen Wanrong, “Palace Master, this news hasn’t been confirmed yet. I will have the disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace investigate the specifics.”

Chen Wanrong simply hummed in response, not saying much else.

This news was indeed shocking and definitely warranted a thorough check to ascertain the truth.

After all, the intelligence network of their Mysterious Moon Palace was quite formidable, and they would soon find out what was really happening.

After that, Lin Wanyun left the temporary Prince’s Mansion to let the disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace in the city investigate the matter.

About half an hour later, the disciples of the Mysterious Moon Palace delivered the collected intelligence neatly compiled into a booklet to Chen Wanrong. Looking at the booklet in her hands, Chen Wanrong fell into deep thought.

The North Prince had sent five thousand Heavy Cavalry to welcome the Queen back to Yan County?

Since when did the North Prince have Heavy Cavalry?

Could North City, so poor, afford to maintain five thousand Heavy Cavalry? One should know that the entire Great Xia had only just over twenty thousand Heavy Cavalry!

Also, their Mysterious Moon Palace had never heard about Heavy Cavalry in North City, where even regular Cavalry were scarce, let alone Heavy Cavalry.
