Chapter 237 Discovered

Under the cold moonlight, Chen Wanrong, wearing a long black dress, sat in the pavilion. Even though she was wearing a plain black cloth, she still exuded a fairy-like glow.

The moonlight shone on her body, highlighting her cold temperament. The temperature around her dropped a lot, and the stools and stone tables in the pavilion seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Chen Wanrong rarely wore black clothes. She wore this black plain dress today mainly to visit the Northern Palace at night.

Her white clothes were too obvious, so she specially asked someone to make her a black plain dress.

The love Gu worm was about to hatch. Chen Wanrong tried to put the Gu on Lu Chen in advance. Since Lu Chen had already taken the powder of the male love-winged butterfly, his feelings for her should have deepened.

If Lu Chen could be put on the love Gu in advance, it would be the best. If Lu Chen's feelings for her were not yet at the point where he could be put on the love Gu, it would also be no loss to let the Gu worm get familiar with the smell of Lu Chen in advance.

As the moon floated to the center of the sky, Chen Wanrong also stood up and went to where Lu Chen might be.

She had asked Lin Wanyun to find out a long time ago. Recently, Lu Chen had been handling government affairs in the study room every night until very late before going to bed, so Chen Wanrong went to the study room first.

At the same time.

In order not to disturb Lu Chen, the maid Xiaohuan who was guarding the study room was walking towards the gate of the courtyard to keep watch for Lu Chen.

The maid Xiaohuan had already noticed that not many people in the inner courtyard knew about Lu Chen and Lin Wanyun's affairs. In addition, Lu Chen and Lin Wanyun always did that kind of thing secretly in the study room, so she thought that Lu Chen should not intend to let more people know.

As one of Lu Chen's personal maids, she should naturally keep Lu Chen's secrets and help him keep watch.

However, as soon as Xiaohuan walked to the entrance of the courtyard, her eyes suddenly went black, her brain instantly lost consciousness, and she fainted directly.

After knocking Xiao Huan unconscious, Chen Wanrong placed her on the inner wall of the courtyard, and then she used the technique her master had taught her to hide her own aura. The next moment, she seemed to blend into the courtyard.

Then Chen Wanrong came to the window of the study room, and heard a woman's voice coming from the study room, and Chen Wanrong's eyebrows slightly raised.

If there were other people in the study room, it would not be so easy for her to put a Gu on Lu Chen.

Although it was unlikely to put a Gu tonight, she could still let the Gu insects she cultivated get familiar with Lu Chen's aura, and wait a few days, she would think of a way to trick Lu Chen into her courtyard, and then use the love Gu on him.

Thinking of this, Chen Wanrong raised her delicate jade hand, gently poked a small hole on the paper-pasted window of the study room, and then looked into the room with one eye.

As a result, when she looked into the study room, she was stunned, her brain suddenly felt blank, and her expressionless face also showed a look of astonishment.

She never thought that Lin Wanyun would be in the study, and she had such a relationship with Lu Chen.

How could this happen...

Chen Wanrong's cold face became a little ugly, she couldn't accept what she saw.

At this time, the sound of two people's conversation came from the study.

"Wanyun, why have you become so shameless?"

"Do you really want to get pregnant with my seed?"

"If Miss Chen sees you like this, I don't know what she will think, otherwise we should just tell her about our relationship earlier?"

Hearing Lu Chen's humiliation, Lin Wanyun protested with a dazed look:

"Don't... don't..."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Wanrong's face darkened, the air around her seemed to drop by more than ten degrees, and frost appeared on the windows.

At this time, Chen Wanrong felt that she had been betrayed. Lin Wanyun, who had always been dignified and elegant, would become like this now. She had never seen Lin Wanyun behave like this. She even suspected that the woman in the room was not Lin Wanyun, but a vixen.

Chen Wanrong didn't know that Lu Chen was now a grandmaster. Although she had learned the technique of hiding her breath taught by her master, the perception of a grandmaster was far greater than that of an ordinary warrior.

When Chen Wanrong came to the courtyard where the study was located, Lu Chen had already sensed Chen Wanrong's presence, but he didn't care about her arrival at all. On the contrary, Chen Wanrong's arrival aroused his beastly heart and made him more brutal.

Unlike Lu Chen, Lin Wanyun didn't notice Chen Wanrong's arrival at all. At this time, her mind was blank and she had long forgotten her last name.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Wanrong left the study.

After she returned to the courtyard where she lived, she didn't recover. The scenes that happened in the study just now were still constantly impacting her brain. She really couldn't understand why Lin Wanyun would betray her, become Lu Chen's woman, and do something shameful with him in the study.

After the Chen Kingdom was destroyed, she escaped from the Chen Kingdom's imperial city. If it weren't for meeting Lin Wanyun, she might have died.

It was Lin Wanyun who brought her to Xuanyue Palace and treated her like her own daughter. She was able to grow to where she is today and have her current status, all thanks to Lin Wanyun.

She never thought that Lin Wanyun would betray her one day.

But now...

Chen Wanrong suddenly felt her heart twitch a little, and her body was a little unstable. She quickly supported the stone table with her hands, then sat in the pavilion and adjusted her internal strength.

After a while, the chaotic internal strength in Chen Wanrong's body had calmed down, and Chen Wanrong calmed down as well.

She was overwhelmed by the anger of betrayal just now, so she couldn't think rationally for a while.

But now it's different. After she calmed down, she began to analyze why Lin Wanyun did that and why she had an affair with Lu Chen.

She still didn't believe that Lin Wanyun would betray her. After all, they were like mother and daughter. She didn't believe that all Lin Wanyun's feelings for her before were fake.

If Lin Wanyun didn't betray herself, but chose to do that with Lu Chen, it would be very likely that she wanted to poison Lu Chen, so she had to sacrifice her beauty to get close to Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Chen Wanrong was stunned.

So thinking about it, Lin Wanyun did all this for herself, and she actually doubted her just now?

When she thought of this, Chen Wanrong felt deeply guilty.

In order to take care of her, Lin Wanyun still has no Taoist partner. Lin Wanyun is in her thirties this year. She is also a woman and has needs.

Chen Wanrong knew very well that women in the inner courtyard of the palace would easily fall into the trap if they had any relationship with Lu Chen. She had heard the maids and servants of the palace talk about the magic of Lu Chen.

Lin Wanyun had been suppressed for decades, and suddenly came into contact with such a handsome man, who was also a man who was very good at dealing with women. It was not surprising that she would become like that just now.

】

Although Chen Wanrong had never been exposed to the affairs of men and women, she was the master of Xuanyue Palace after all, and she also knew about these things.

Xuanyue Palace did not prohibit disciples from finding Taoist partners. At most, it stipulated that disciples could not have children. In order to prevent disciples from getting pregnant because of the affairs of men and women, there were some books in the library of Xuanyue Palace that taught the affairs of men and women, especially the matter of contraception. Chen Wanrong had also learned some of them.

At this time, the air in the courtyard seemed to be getting colder and colder, and Chen Wanrong's face was getting colder and colder, as if her body was releasing cold air to the surroundings.

Her dignified and virtuous Aunt Lin was now being treated like a beast by that man. Even though she understood that Lin Wanyun might have done all this for herself, she still couldn't forgive Lu Chen in her heart.

She stood at the door of the study for a while just now and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two. Judging from their conversation, they had done something shameful more than once or twice.

And Lu Chen's purpose was not simple. Lu Chen not only wanted to possess Lin Wanyun's body, his real purpose was to make Lin Wanyun pregnant with his seed. Having children was a taboo in Xuanyue Palace.

Besides, Lin Wanyun was already in her thirties this year, and Lu Chen actually wanted her to give birth to a child for him. Was this man full of offspring in his mind?

He wanted to breed offspring so much. When she succeeded in restoring the country in the future, she would lock him up in her own palace, and then find hundreds of palace maids for him to breed offspring every day.

Thinking of this, Chen Wanrong clenched her fists.

A strange emotion arose in her heart, and she herself didn't know what kind of emotion it was. This emotion made her feel a little irritable. Even if she had just calmed down, she would soon be occupied by that irritable emotion again.

Chen Wanrong adjusted her internal strength again, trying to stabilize her emotions again.

In this way, Chen Wanrong sat in the pavilion for a night, and Lin Wanyun was also bullied in Lu Chen's study for a night.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the earth, the exhausted Lin Wanyun returned to the yard. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Chen Wanrong in the pavilion.

Lin Wanyun, who had just done something bad, immediately felt guilty when she saw Chen Wanrong. She tried to pretend that nothing had happened and walked towards her room.

But at this time, Chen Wanrong asked, "Auntie Lin, where did you go last night?"

Hearing this, Lin Wanyun stopped and her brain paused.

After coming to her senses, Lin Wanyun immediately lied and said, "It was my turn to be on duty last night."

Chen Wanrong glanced at Lin Wanyun's slightly messy hair and her somewhat torn dress, and she finally held back and did not continue to ask.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Wanyun had almost never lied to her, but because of that man, she lied to herself, which made Chen Wanrong feel a little sad.

Seeing Chen Wanrong's cold face, Lin Wanyun became a little flustered, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Chen Wanrong noticed something?

Just when Lin Wanyun thought so, Chen Wanrong said lightly: "Auntie Lin, you go to rest first."

Then Chen Wanrong closed her eyes and continued to meditate.

Seeing that Chen Wanrong didn't say anything, Lin Wanyun breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Chen Wanrong had discovered something and scared her.

Then Lin Wanyun returned to her room and asked the maid to fetch water. She fell asleep directly after taking a bath.

At the same time

On the other side, Lu Chen, feeling refreshed, came out of the study and saw the maid Xiaohuan leaning against the courtyard wall.

Lin Wanyun was the first to walk out of the study room. She also saw Xiaohuan, but she thought Xiaohuan fell asleep against the wall. It was common for maids to doze off. In addition, she had to go back to take a bath to avoid being discovered that she had that kind of relationship with Lu Chen, so she ignored Xiaohuan.

Lu Chen walked directly to Xiaohuan and then used the rejuvenation hand to wake Xiaohuan up.

After waking up, Xiaohuan looked at Lu Chen with sleepy eyes. The next moment, her eyes suddenly widened and she jumped up from the ground.

"Your Majesty... Your servant... Your servant..."

Xiaohuan didn't know how to explain. She was now afraid that Lu Chen would suspect that she fell asleep last night.

"Your Majesty, someone knocked me unconscious last night, my servant..."

Xiaohuan was about to cry. She didn't know who wanted to harm her. He actually knocked her unconscious and left her here. How could she explain it now?

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I know who knocked you out. You don't need to explain too much. Don't tell anyone about this."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Lu Chen to know who did it, but since Lu Chen said so, she should not be punished. Thinking of this, Xiao Huan felt relieved.

Lu Chen then turned and walked towards the main courtyard. He planned to take a bath and go to the Council Hall after breakfast. Today, he had to finalize the division of counties in the Northern Kingdom, and there were still many things to do.

As for Chen Wanrong's visit to the outside of the study last night, Lu Chen was not worried that it would cause any bad things. Chen Wanrong's favorability towards him had long been 100. Even if she saw him arguing with Lin Wanyun, she would not hate him.

The matter between Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun was left to the two women to solve.

When Lu Chen finished taking a bath, had breakfast, and came to the Council Hall, the officials of the Northern Kingdom had basically arrived.

Lu Chen did not waste time. He took out the map drawn by the Jinyiwei and hung it on the pillar of the hall. Then he let the officials speak freely. He first listened to how the officials wanted to divide it, and then he decided how to divide it.

After a morning of discussion, the new version of the map of the Northern Kingdom was finally divided into six counties and eighteen counties. All the grasslands from Tianguang City to Dayu City were included in the Northern Kingdom.

After the map was finalized, Lu Chen roughly calculated the area. Without counting the Northern Kingdom, the area of ​​the entire Northern Kingdom has now exceeded the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, the Northern Kingdom is also nominally part of the Great Xia Dynasty, so this can be regarded as a territorial expansion of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After determining the map of the Northern Kingdom, Lu Chen did not intend to hide it. The Northern Land was originally an ownerless thing. If you want to occupy the Northern Land, you have to declare sovereignty.

In the next few days, the Northern Palace issued a notice to tell the people of the Northern Kingdom that the Northern Land would be included in the Northern Kingdom, and Lu Chen also personally wrote a memorial to submit to the Great Xia court.

I recommend a book, "It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to do crazy things." Having unique skills is not a skill, but doing things in a fancy way is the way to go.
