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

The North Prince was right; she was such a useful tool that the Yue Emperor shouldn't have sent her out unless he found her more useful in the North Country than remaining in Great Jue.

The North Prince was an ambitious and capable man. If he could use her to control the North Prince, he could be very useful in the future.

But then again, even if that were true, it wouldn't matter anymore.

Lu Chen had already seen through the Yue Emperor's conspiracy and knew the purpose of the Virgin Mark. Most importantly, the Virgin Mark was useless to Lu Chen, which meant the Yue Emperor's plan had failed.

At that moment, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Originally, the Yue Emperor planned to use you to control me, but now you've lost your innocence, and the Virgin Mark didn't work on me. If the Yue Emperor knew the Virgin Mark had no effect, do you think he would still trust you?"

"It's simple logic. You haven't controlled me, but instead, I took your virginity. The end result might be that you are controlled by me. Once the Yue Emperor finds out the Virgin Mark is ineffective, you'll be useless to him."

Murong Xue'er was slightly dazed. No wonder the Yue Emperor hadn't told her about the Virgin Mark in the beginning. If it were ineffective, she would definitely worry about becoming useless to the Yue Emperor and might betray him.

At this time, Murong Xue'er said, "What's your purpose in telling me all this?"

Lu Chen spoke indifferently, "To make you completely devoted to me and become my true woman."

With that, Lu Chen leaned in and kissed Murong Xue'er's red lips again.

"Mmm..."

After a futile resistance, Murong Xue'er had no choice but to cooperate with Lu Chen's mischief.

Thinking about what Lu Chen had said, anxiety took hold within Murong Xue'er. The physical sensations and her restlessness made her want to forget all her worries completely.

After who knows how long, Murong Xue'er suddenly felt a cool breeze on her back. Her consciousness clearing slightly, she turned her head and saw Lu Chen, the scoundrel, actually holding a brush and writing on her back.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er was burning hot, barely able to endure it. Lying there in front of Lu Chen, he was not attending to the matter at hand but writing on her back with a brush instead.

Then Murong Xue'er said, "Prince...Prince, there's plenty of...time to practice...writing during the long night. Can't we finish the main business first?"

Seeing Murong Xue'er in such a seductive state, Lu Chen stopped his writing. "You want me to attend to the main business, then tell me the true reason you came to the Prince's Mansion tonight."

Murong Xue'er's heart skipped a beat.

Her lies had been seen through by the North Prince.

No, it was more accurate to say that the North Prince had never believed her.

Struggling against the discomfort in her body, Murong Xue'er said, "Prince, haven't I already told you... I came because of the Emperor... "

Lu Chen cut her off, "If you're unwilling to reveal your true purpose, then don't speak. I'm going to continue practicing my writing."

Murong Xue'er bit her lip in frustration. This bastard was toying with her, using harsh methods to extract information!

Having no other choice, Murong Xue'er finally said, "The Emperor... asked me to extract the military deployment map of the North Country."

No sooner had Murong Xue'er finished speaking than Lu Chen threw the brush aside and leaned down to kiss her red lips once again.

...

At dawn.

When Lu Chen woke up, he felt refreshed. Murong Xue'er had already gotten up, standing by the bed and looking toward her waist. Her clothes only covered half of her body, giving off an alluring, hazy charm.

Seeing Lu Chen wake up, Murong Xue'er had a complex look in her eyes. Last night, under Lu Chen's intense interrogation, she revealed the purpose of her visit to the North Prince Mansion.

Now she was in trouble. She couldn't fulfill the Empress's mission. Lu Chen already knew she came to get the military deployment map, so he certainly wouldn't tell her the actual military deployment, nor would he show her the real map.

It didn't matter anyway. This was just to assist Great Wu in testing the North Country. Even if she hadn't obtained the deployment map, the Yue Emperor probably wouldn't blame her.

With that thought, Murong Xue'er continued to dress, not saying a word to Lu Chen throughout.

Watching Murong Xue'er quietly get dressed, Lu Chen lay in bed, observing her perfect figure, and asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"

With an expressionless face, Murong Xue'er replied, "In front of the Prince, my words are not my own. I don't want to speak."

Lu Chen chuckled; Murong Xue'er's so-called "words are not my own" probably referred to last night. In his room, Murong Xue'er indeed had no choice but to obey him.

Then Lu Chen said, "I will give you a part of the North Country's military deployment map, so you can report back to the Yue Emperor."

Murong Xue'er replied indifferently, "The Prince intends to use a false military deployment map to deceive Great Wu's army, right?"

The military deployment map was critical in war, a military secret. No one would hand it over so easily, unless someone planned to set a trap for the enemy with a fake map.

Murong Xue'er didn't believe that Lu Chen would give her the real map.

Lu Chen said, "I do plan to hand over the military deployment map to Great Wu through you, but part of this map is real."

With that, Lu Chen waved his hand, and a Map Scroll from his study flew into the room, hovering in front of Murong Xue'er.

Looking at the floating map in front of her, Murong Xue'er ultimately couldn't resist, took the map, and glanced over the military deployment on it.

This map indeed depicted the North Country's military deployment, but it lacked specific troop numbers, significantly reducing the intelligence's value.

Whether a military stronghold was defended by a hundred soldiers or a hundred thousand, the enemy would face drastically different challenges in trying to capture it.

Laughing, Lu Chen asked, "How is it? I've been quite generous to you, haven't I?"

"Are you satisfied with this transaction?"

Murong Xue'er turned to look at Lu Chen, who lay on the bed openly meeting her gaze, and said faintly, "Thank you, Prince."

"I shall leave today. If the Prince needs me again, you can send for me."

Murong Xue'er had surrendered in her heart. After all that had happened, there was nothing she could do about this man.
