Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Having come to her senses, Murong Xue'er said expressionlessly, "This is the Emperor's decision. As Her Majesty's maidservant, I only need to obey her command, without contemplating the whys."

Lu Chen snorted with laughter, then also picked up his teacup and took a sip. "You really are a handy tool for the Yue Emperor, not thinking about anything."

Murong Xue'er then asked, "In your view, Prince, why would the Emperor send me to the North Country?"

No sooner had Murong Xue'er finished speaking than Lu Chen put down his teacup, raised his hand, and, pinching Murong Xue'er's chin, gazed at her cold, stunningly beautiful face.

"The reason the Yue Emperor sent you is because you are beautiful enough to pique my interest, and beyond that, there's another very important reason."

Murong Xue'er asked, "What reason?"

Lu Chen smiled, then let go of Murong Xue'er's chin and stood up, walking over to the bed. Arriving at the bedside, Lu Chen sat on the edge of the bed.

Seeing this scene, Murong Xue'er paused for a moment, thinking Lu Chen would continue their conversation. She hadn't expected him to just drink some tea before his thoughts turned to such matters.

Lu Chen then patted the bed beside him. "Miss Murong, come sit here. Let me tell you why the Yue Emperor sent you instead of someone else."

Without overthinking, Murong Xue'er slowly got up and sat down beside Lu Chen. As soon as she did, Lu Chen's large hand encircled her slender waist, his fingers sliding under her clothes, caressing her lower abdomen as he spoke, "The most important reason the Yue Emperor sent you lies in that Virgin Mark on your stomach."

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er was taken aback and, out of curiosity, she asked, "The Virgin Mark? What does this have to do with the Virgin Mark?"

Lu Chen didn't answer Murong Xue'er's question. Instead, he turned his head and kissed Murong Xue'er's red lips, then gently laid her down on the bed, her hairpin falling out, freeing her hair to spread out over the bed.

Seeing Lu Chen take action, Murong Xue'er set aside his earlier words. She thought to herself that she should first take good care of Lu Chen before finding a way to obtain the military deployment maps of the North Country from him.

As their clothes became fewer and fewer between them, they finally bared themselves to each other. At that moment, however, Lu Chen did not proceed further. He propped himself up and gently caressed the Virgin Mark on Murong Xue'er's lower abdomen, "This Virgin Mark of yours is not an ordinary one."

By then, Murong Xue'er's eyes were brimming with spring, hardly able to focus on Lu Chen's words as she writhed softly on the bed. "Prince, my Virgin Mark has long been broken. What's the point in talking about it now? Please, don't let the important matters wait."

As she spoke, Murong Xue'er's hand reached up, seemingly trying to grab Lu Chen's arm to pull him back down to her.

Seeing Murong Xue'er's comportment, Lu Chen chuckled and continued, "Your Virgin Mark is in fact a Curse Pattern. Once a man breaks your virginity, the Curse Pattern will affect him. He will then fall in love with you forever, unable to leave you, obeying your commands, even allowing you to manipulate him as you wish."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er, who had been in a daze, instantly sobered up, looking at Lu Chen with disbelief.

If it were true as Lu Chen said, since he was the one who broke her virginity, didn't that mean he was now affected by the Curse Pattern, essentially becoming her slave?

Regaining her wits, Murong Xue'er looked into Lu Chen's eyes and said, "Prince, please don't joke like this. It's just a common Virgin Mark, after all. If it really possessed the ability you mentioned, wouldn't you be completely in love with me by now, at my beck and call?"

"But as far as I can see, Prince, you only seem to like my body, and don't seem to be cursed at all."

As he caressed Murong Xue'er's Virgin Mark, Lu Chen said, "The reason I am unaffected by this Curse Pattern is because my body is special."

"As for whether I have fallen in love with you, even without a Curse Pattern, I would still fall for you, and I'd still abduct you to the North Prince Mansion to make you mine."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er fell into silence, just lying quietly on the bed, looking up into Lu Chen's eyes, searching for any sign that he was toying with her.

But Lu Chen's gaze was especially firm, not suggestive of a lie. He continued, "You are a maidservant close to the Yue Emperor, whom she trusts and values greatly. To her, you are a very useful tool. Have you not considered that such a useful tool, why would she just discard it so easily?"

Murong Xue'er still did not speak.

Lu Chen went on, "It is precisely because you are the tool she values most that she wants to use you to control me, to make me one of her chess pieces, too. Unfortunately for her, she didn't anticipate that I wouldn't be affected by the Virgin Mark." Find your next read on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

Hearing this, Murong Xue'er almost believed Lu Chen's words, thinking to herself how the Yue Emperor could send her to the North Country.

The Da Yue Dynasty was not small. There were certainly many beautiful women who could appeal to Lu Chen, yet the Yue Emperor had specifically chosen her.

Being one of the Yue Emperor's capable maidservants, her presence certainly made it less arduous for the Emperor to handle state affairs.
