Chapter 404 Lu Yi's Little Thoughts

Seeing that Lu Chen was staring at Xue Linglong next to him, Lu Yi frowned.

He suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard before, that his ninth brother was a lustful person, and when he saw a beautiful woman, he would do anything to take it for himself.

Even Chu Yuqin and Lu Chen didn't let go.

Lu Yi suddenly felt a little unhappy. Although he had never touched Xue Linglong's body since he got married to Xue Linglong, Xue Linglong was his nominal princess and his woman after all.

Lu Chen actually covets his own woman, which even a man can't stand.

At this time, Lu Chen looked at Xue Linglong and said, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect you to become more and more beautiful."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong was slightly stunned, and then looked at Lu Yi beside him with a look of fear.

"Ninth brother is joking. My sister-in-law will only become more and more uglier as she gets older. How can she become more and more beautiful?"

Lu Chen said with a smile: "The more mature a woman is, the more temperamental she is and the more beautiful she appears. A woman with such temperament as the emperor's sister-in-law can never become ugly."

Lu Yi on the side couldn't stand listening anymore. He said directly to Lu Chen: "Ninth brother, thanks to you for taking us in this time, otherwise the emperor would have nowhere to go."

Lu Chen said: "Brother Huang and I are brothers whose blood is thicker than water. When Brother Huang is in trouble, I should naturally help him."

"From now on, if your brother has any needs in the North, you can just ask them. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy him."

Lu Chen didn't intend to trick Lu Yi today, after all, Lu Yi just arrived in Yancheng today.

At this time, Lu Yi sighed and said: "Ninth brother, we brothers used to think that you came to the fiefdom and your whole life passed in confusion. I didn't expect that you not only allowed the people of the North to live a happy life, but also had such a powerful person. We all misjudged the country’s military strength.”

"If Ninth Brother had shown his talents in the capital, I am afraid that my father would have made you the crown prince long ago. We brothers must also be very convinced."

Lu Chen smiled and then said: "I'm not very interested in that position. Brother Huang has also been supervising the country for a while, so he should have seen through the intrigues in the court."

"Rather than scheming with those ministers, it would be better to come to the Northern Kingdom and be a happy king. Brother Emperor, don't you think so?"

Lu Yi smiled and said, "That's what Ninth Brother said."

Lu Chen said at this time: "Brother Emperor, I still have something to do, so I will go back today."

Having said this, Lu Chen glanced at Xue Linglong again.

Xue Linglong was wearing a purple gauze dress that wrapped around her plump and graceful body. Although she looked dignified and elegant, Lu Chen always felt that there was a wave of energy about her.

Lu Chen thought to himself that this woman was pretty, but a little cruel.

He actually gave Lu Yi a book of eunuch exercises to practice, turning Lu Yi directly into a eunuch.

It's no wonder that Qin Yuwei was still in perfect condition when she was sent to Beiwang Mansion, which gave him an advantage. He really thought that his eldest brother was so obsessed with martial arts that he had no interest in beautiful women. It turned out that he no longer had that function. .

Lu Yi said with a smile: "Okay, Ninth Brother, let's go and do your work first. Brother Huang won't waste your time."

Then Lu Chen turned around and left Lu Mansion.

As soon as Lu Chen left, Lu Yi's face darkened and he became furious at Xue Linglong.

"Linglong, do you think that Gu is no longer the prince and has no power, so you want to abandon Gu and flirt with Gu's ninth brother? You want to seduce him!"

"What a shameless woman!"

Although Lu Yi cursed Xue Linglong, he did not take action. Xue Linglong's status was quite special, so he did not dare to hit people directly.

Hearing this, Xue Linglong looked panicked and said quickly: "Your Highness, it's the King of the North who is staring at me. I don't dare to have such thoughts. I am your Highness by birth. Death is your Highness’s fault!”

Lu Yi snorted coldly and said: "They say King Bei is lustful and will not let go of any beautiful woman he sees. Today I have seen it. He even covets his own wife-in-law!"

Xue Linglong said weakly: "I will stay in the mansion honestly from now on and never go out, so that King Bei will not see me."

Lu Yi was about to say something, but suddenly his mind stopped and he thought of something.

etc……

If King Bei really covets Xue Linglong's body, can he take advantage of it?

If Xue Linglong could capture Bei Wang's heart and ask Bei Wang some conditions, wouldn't it be easier for Bei Wang to agree to it?

Thinking of this, Lu Yi's face looked a little better, but when he thought that his princess had not enjoyed it yet, and now he wanted her to seduce other men, Lu Yi felt very unhappy inside.

But for his great cause, this small sacrifice is still worth it, not to mention that he has no real intention to give Xue Linglong to King Bei.

The Xue family where Xue Linglong lived had a close connection with the Taiyin Sect. If Xue Linglong was really given to King Bei, he would not be able to use the Taiyin Sect to do things for him in the future.

At this time, a smile appeared on Lu Yi's face, and then he said to Xue Linglong beside him: "Linglong, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you just now."

"You don't have to stay in the mansion all the time. Now that we are in the territory of the Northern King, we should naturally build good relations with the people in the Northern King's Mansion. Later, you should find more opportunities to go to the Northern King's Mansion and hang out with the Northern King's Concubine and others."

Xue Linglong immediately saw Lu Yi's little thoughts, but she didn't expose him, because Xue Linglong's original purpose was to get close to the Northern King.

Xue Linglong then said, "I understand."

...

In the evening.

When Lu Chen was having dinner, he said to Mu Zixuan and the others, "The eldest prince and his family came to Yancheng."

Hearing this, the women were stunned.

The eldest prince?

Didn't the eldest prince disappear after launching a mutiny? How did his family suddenly appear in the Northern Kingdom, and in Yancheng?

Soon they realized that it was most likely that Lu Chen brought them to Yancheng. It seemed that Lu Chen thought they were still useful, so he planned to protect them.

This was a man's business, and Mu Zixuan and the others didn't plan to ask too much.

At this time, Lu Chen said to Mu Zixuan: "My beloved, in the future, you should try to get along with the Grand Concubine more."

Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she soon understood what Lu Chen meant, "I understand."

Lu Chen continued: "Today I found out that my sister-in-law is not simple, she is actually a grandmaster."

Chu Yuqin was stunned when he said this. She turned her head and looked at Lu Chen and asked: "Grandmaster? She could really be a grandmaster? I remember that the Grand Concubine is only 30 years old this year?"

Chu Yuqin was very surprised. Although Xue Linglong was about the same age as her, Xue Linglong was a lady from the Xue family. She only knew piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she had never heard of her practicing martial arts. How could she break through and become a grandmaster at this age?

Although Chu Yuqin herself was a grandmaster, she knew very well that if it were not for Lu Chen's dual cultivation method and Lu Chen's elixir, she would probably stop at the grandmaster level in this life and would not be able to become a grandmaster.

Xue Linglong didn't have Lu Chen's help, and she was actually a grandmaster.

Something was wrong...

Chu Yuqin immediately realized that Xue Linglong might not be the Xue Linglong she remembered, and might not even be her real self.

Then she reminded him, "Chen'er, this Grand Concubine is a big problem, you have to be careful that she has other purposes."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid she has no other purpose."

This...

Chu Yuqin looked at Lu Chen suspiciously.

This little scoundrel is not a fool, he must be able to see that Xue Linglong has some thoughts, but why did Lu Chen let the princess and Xue Linglong move around more?

Chu Yuqin didn't think about it anymore, she said to Mu Zixuan, "Zixuan, if you deal with this Grand Concubine in the future, try to call me."

The other party is a grandmaster, Chu Yuqin is worried that Xue Linglong will harm Mu Zixuan or other people in the Northern Palace.

Mu Zixuan said, "Okay, Sister Chu."

...

A few days later.

Lu Chen came to the Lu Mansion again.

After Lu Chen entered the Lu Mansion, he entered the reception room under the guidance of the servants.

Lu Yi asked at this time: "Ninth brother, what is the matter with you this time?"

Lu Chen smiled and said: "I just came to see if you are used to living here, my royal brother, and if you need anything."

Lu Yi immediately said: "I am used to it, very used to it, but I don't need anything for the time being."

At this point, Lu Yi continued: "Ninth brother, please sit down, someone, prepare tea."

Lu Chen then came to sit down next to him. At this time, there were only two of them in the reception room. Just when Lu Chen was about to ask Lu Yi about the things in the capital, Xue Linglong slowly walked in from outside. Xue Linglong was still wearing a purple gauze skirt, and the whole person looked full of the charm of a beautiful woman.

Lu Chen's eyes fell directly on Xue Linglong. Seeing this scene, Lu Yi was not angry this time, but his mouth corners slightly raised.

He was basically certain that his ninth brother was coveting Xue Linglong's beauty.

At this time, Xue Linglong said, "Ninth brother, you are here."

When Xue Linglong raised her head and moved her feet, she exuded a charming temperament.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I haven't seen the emperor's sister-in-law for a few days. The emperor's sister-in-law has become more beautiful."

Xue Linglong said with a smile, "Ninth brother, you are so sweet. No wonder so many women want to marry you."

Lu Yi said lightly at this time, "Linglong, you sit down too."

"Yes, husband." Xue Linglong then sat on a wooden chair.

After the servants served the tea, Lu Chen said, "Brother, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it."

Lu Yi said, "Ninth brother, please speak."

Lu Chen said, "Brother, you know that I have always supported you to take that position. I have always believed that you are a more mature and stable person. Moreover, you are already the crown prince. It stands to reason that you will take that position sooner or later. Why are you so anxious this time?"

Hearing this question, Lu Yi sighed, "Alas, I don't want to do this, but if I don't do it, I may die."

"You should have heard about the Lin family colluding with a group of foreign vassal kings to poison your father some time ago, right?"

Lu Chen said, "Yes, I know, but I heard that the Lin family was framed."

Lu Yi sighed deeply again, "With all the evidence, how could it be a frame-up? The Lin family was able to wash away the crime so easily, mainly because the concubine Yu, who was favored by my father, blew pillow talk to my father, so my father firmly believed that someone framed the Lin family."

"In the end, even if Lin Gaoyuan was released, my father thought that it was Xiang Zhao who did everything. He arrested Xiang Zhao and other ministers without evidence, and Gu suddenly became a lonely man."

"Furthermore, Concubine Yu kept bewitching him in front of his father, making him think that the mastermind behind all this was Gu. Gu heard that his father not only planned to establish a new crown prince, but also planned to give him poisonous wine. You said that in this situation , If Gu doesn’t rebel, is there any way to survive?”

Lu Chen said: "So that's the case. I asked you why the emperor is so anxious."

"In the opinion of the emperor, the Lin family must have colluded with the vassal king?"

Lu Yi replied: "It is most likely King Zhao. Now that King Zhao is powerful, he has destroyed several feudal states. In less than two years, King Zhao will definitely be able to attack the capital."

Lu Yi sighed again, "My father was blinded by the thief. I heard that the Lin family got the so-called elixir from somewhere, which made my father temporarily regain his consciousness. I really thought it was Life-saving elixir, so I believe in the Lin family more and more, but I don’t know that it can’t be an elixir at all. I have asked the doctor from the Guxun Tai Hospital. That kind of elixir can overdraw a person’s vitality in a short period of time and make people regain their senses. It seems It’s as if health has been restored, but in fact the health of people who take that pill will only get worse.”

Seeing Lu Yi's heartbroken expression, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile inwardly. His eldest brother was really good at acting. If he hadn't known what was going on, he might have been deceived by him.

At this time, Lu Yi suddenly thought of something, and then said to Lu Chen: "Ninth brother, there is another thing you may not know. If this matter spreads, it will definitely shake the foundation of Daxia. I discovered it by accident. Now I can’t believe that my father did it.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen pretended to be curious and asked: "What's the matter? Is it so serious?"

Lu Yi looked at the maids in the hall, then waved them out.

After the maids all went out, the maid at the door closed the door of the hall. At this time, Lu Yi whispered: "You must have heard that many warriors have mysteriously disappeared in Daxia, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned, and he suddenly became interested.

Just now he just asked casually pretending to be curious, but now he is really interested.

After all, Jin Yiwei has not found much information related to it so far. If Lu Yi really knows something, it will be easy to get it.

Lu Chen then said, "I've heard about it too. Could it be that what the emperor said is related to the disappearance of the Daxia warriors?"

Lu Yi said with a panicked expression: "Yes."

Lu Chen showed an expression of disbelief and asked, "Could it be that... my father did this?"

Lu Yi whispered: "It's unbelievable, right? When I heard about this incident, I couldn't believe that it was actually related to my father."

Lu Chen asked: "Why did the emperor arrest so many warriors?"

Lu Yi said: "I heard that my father obtained an evil treasure that can absorb the martial arts and blood essence. It is said that through that treasure, one can achieve immortality or break through to the realm of heaven and man. Didn't my father send heavy cavalry to Jiangnan some time ago? , those soldiers were just to transport this thing back."

"When I raised my troops alone, I roped in a heavy cavalry colonel who was involved in transporting the item. This is when he told me that before they transported the item, they killed many warriors as sacrifices, and since the heavy cavalry soldiers who participated in the transportation came back, , died one after another, which is why the captain wanted to take refuge with Gu, and when we led the troops into the palace, Gu saw with his own eyes that the blood of the soldiers was sucked away by something. It turned into a mummy in an instant.”

Speaking of this, Lu Yi showed a look of fear on his face.

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Xue Linglong frowned slightly. Although she knew that this matter was related to Emperor Xia, she did not expect that Lu Yi actually knew about it, and Lu Yi knew more than her, and Lu Yi I have never told her about it, and I was not willing to say it until now in front of King Bei.
