Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen naturally knew what she was referring to.

Lu Chen then said with a helpless look on his face, “Madam Chu, I am a man, and any vigorous young man holding a great beauty in his arms can hardly remain indifferent.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen actually praise herself as a great beauty, Chu Yuqin felt even more flustered inside.

Although she had forced herself to calm down just moments ago, for some reason, she was starting to feel restless again.

Chu Yuqin emphasized again, “I am your aunt! You mustn’t harbor any improper thoughts towards me!”

Lu Chen said indifferently, “Madam Chu, we have no blood relations, and besides, you’re only about eleven years older than me.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was taken aback.

What Lu Chen said was true; they had no blood relationship. At most, she was merely sworn sisters with Lu Chen’s mother.

And even though an eleven-year difference seemed significant, when those men took wives, some in their seventies or eighties still married girls in their teens. In truth, this age difference wasn’t really significant.

If one thought about it that way, it seemed there wasn’t anything particularly unsuitable about the two of them.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin’s mind went blank, and she quickly stopped herself from entertaining wild thoughts.

How could she even think like that!

She was a woman who had been married! She was now a widow! And Chen’er was a prince, how could a prince marry a widow!

With this thought, Chu Yuqin immediately said, “Chen’er, I don’t care what you say, you just can’t have thoughts about your aunt, if Yue finds out that 1 deceived her son’s body, how can I face her after I die!”

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen laughed and said, “Then let me be the one to trick you.”

Chu Yuqin snorted lightly and said, “Don’t even think about it.”

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen smiled faintly.

Even though Chu Yuqin was so defiant with her words, he could tell that her defenses were starting to weaken, and after a few more intimate encounters, Chu Yuqin would completely succumb.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yuqin asked gently, “Chen’er, do you feel better now?”

Lu Chen replied, “Hmm, my dantian feels better, there’s no longer that sensation of blocked energy flow, but 1 feel uncomfortable elsewhere.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin immediately understood what Lu Chen meant, she spat angrily, “You little rascal, don’t think that 1 don’t know what’s on your mind, deal with your other physical issues by going to Mu Zixuan yourself.” Having said that, Chu Yuqin gently pushed Lu Chen away and then took a few steps back to distance herself from him.

“Chen’er, since you’re fine now, I’ll take my leave.”

Lu Chen said, “Alright.”

Lu Chen felt that it was more or less enough for the time being; these sorts of matters needed a gradual approach, not force.

Afterward, Chu Yuqin turned around and headed for the door. Seeing Chu Yuqin’s alluring figure, Lu Chen felt he was losing control, and immediately went to Mu Zixuan’s courtyard, picked her up, and took her to the next room to cultivate their relationship.

The next morning.

Early in the morning, before Lu Chen had gotten up, important officials from North City had arrived at the Prince’s Mansion.

Prefecture Governor Li Rui, upon seeing the generals and colonels in armor at the Prince’s Mansion training ground, was somewhat puzzled.

What was the purpose of the Prince’s Mansion gathering them at this time?

Since the North Prince had come to North City, he had not bothered with the affairs of North City; each time he went to the North Prince to report on his duties, the North Prince found some excuse to send him away.

This seemed to be the first time the North Prince had summoned them to the Prince’s Mansion.

Could it be that the North Prince was planning to take charge of the affairs of North City?

At this thought, Li Rui felt some tension inside. He was unsure whether the North Prince would make some major policy adjustments. If the North Prince really intended to initiate reforms, then, as Prefecture Governor, his workload might increase significantly.

Of course, that wasn’t Li Rui’s biggest concern. What worried him the most was that the North Prince might replace him as Prefecture Governor with someone from his inner circle to facilitate the reform.

Thinking of this, Li Rui immediately approached Li Feng and asked in a low voice, “General Li, do you know why the Prince has summoned us here?”

Li Feng shook his head and said, “1 too have just received the Prince’s message, and I’m not aware of what he wants to discuss.”

Hearing this from Li Feng made Li Rui even more anxious. Even Li Feng, an important general close to the North Prince, was unaware of the matter, so it must be something significant.

At that moment,

a middle-aged man clad in armor entered the training ground with two youths.

Seeing the man, Li Feng and the soldiers who initially followed Lu Chen to North City were stunned.

Li Feng then walked up to the man. As he was about to salute, the man stopped him by lifting his arm.

Li Feng, looking at Mu Changtian in confusion, asked, “General Mu, what brings you to North City?”

Hearing Li Feng’s words, Mu Changtian smiled and corrected, “General Li, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. My surname is Mo, not Mu.”

At this clarification from Mu Changtian, Li Feng instantly realized something must have happened in the Capital City.

As a subordinate of Mu Changtian, how could he not recognize Mu Changtian and his two sons?

Li Feng finally understood why Mu Changtian had them accompany the North Prince in the first place—judging by the situation, it seems that the Hu Ben Army might have already been disbanded and reorganized.

Li Feng then asked, “General Mo, what has happened in the Capital City?”

Mu Changtian replied, “Duke Mu Residence is implicated in conspiring with the remnants of Chen Nation and has been exiled by the Emperor. Our Mo family also suffered because of this. We were attacked by assassins on the way to exile, but fortunately, the Prince sent someone to rescue us and brought us to North City.”

Upon hearing Mu Changtian’s words, Li Feng’s mind went blank for a moment.

Lately, he had also noticed the changes in the Prince’s Mansion, which recently gained many Ninth Grade experts, even one who seemed to be at Master Level. Li Feng had long recognized the North Prince’s remarkable capabilities, so it wasn’t strange to him that the North Prince could save Mu Changtian. What he found hard to believe was the audacity of the North Prince.

There is a difference between having the ability and having the courage to save someone.

Some people might have the ability to save others but not necessarily the courage to do so.

The Duke Mu Residence was eliminated because of a conflict with the Emperor, yet the North Prince dared to rescue the entire family under such circumstances, which showed the North Prince’s tremendous boldness.

Had it been any other Prince, they would have feared getting involved and wouldn’t dare to have any contact with Duke Mu Residence.

Li Feng thought to himself, could it be that the North Prince summoned them today because of General Mu?

Just as Li Feng was contemplating this, a maid from the Prince’s Mansion came over and said to everyone, “The Prince has asked you to wait in his study.” Hearing this, everyone immediately headed for Lu Chen’s study.

After Lu Chen got up and had a simple breakfast, he headed to his study. Meanwhile, the people inside the study were still guessing why the North Prince had called for them.

Then, the figure of the North Prince appeared at the door, and everyone immediately saluted, saying, “We greet the North Prince!”

Lu Chen waved his hand to dismiss the formalities before walking straight to his desk and opened a map spread out on it.

Li Rui was the first to speak, “Prince, may I ask why you have gathered us here today?”
