To be honest, she didn’t believe the North Fre King had the strength to defeat the Black Cavalry of North City, even the Sky Wolf King’s three hundred thousand troops were no match for North City and those Black Cavalry, how could the North Fre King possibly be North City’s opponent? She still had some understanding of the strength of the North Fre King’s tribe.

At a glance, one could tell that this little man was plotting some sort of scheme.

And judging by his manner, he didn’t look like someone who had suffered defeat.

Now that Yelv Nanyan had fully integrated into the North Prince Mansion, if Lu Chen really had been defeated, she would have felt the opposite of happy, after all, this little man was already her darling.

Moreover, the life in the North Prince’s Mansion had always been what she longed for, and she did not want to see her beautiful life destroyed.

At that moment, Lu Chen said with a smile, “My wives, I have returned from the war, you won’t keep me out of the Prince’s Mansion, will you?”

Mu Zixuan and the other important women of the Prince’s Mansion had all arrived at the entrance, and the maids and servants of the Prince’s Mansion were also standing at the entrance. This made the entire Prince’s Mansion entrance crowded with people, leaving Lu Chen no way to get in.

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Mu Zixuan, who was in his arms, suddenly came to her senses and quickly told the servants and maids at the entrance of the Prince’s Mansion, “Disperse, go about your own business.”

“Prince, let’s go backto the main hall first,” she said, “the renovation of the Prince’s Mansion is now complete.”

Lu Chen asked curiously, “The renovation is complete? Does that mean we now have heated rooms?”

Before heading north, Lu Chen had told Mo Fei and others about his plan to renovate the Prince’s Mansion, intending to have them help oversee the renovation of the heated rooms in the mansion.

Counting the time, it had been over two months since they went north, so the renovation of the heated rooms should also be completed.

Mu Zixuan replied, “Yes, most of the rooms in the Prince’s Mansion are no longer cold, especially the main hall, which is very warm.”

Lu Chen said with a smile, “Let’s go. I want to see if the renovation of the heated rooms has met my expectations.”

Then Lu Chen led his wives and concubines to the main hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he felt a warm current, and the cold feeling instantly dissipated, making the entire hall very warm.

The reason why the main hall was so warm was that there was a smoke passage underneath and a coal-burning room outside, similar to the principle of a heated bed, only the main hall was much larger, consuming more coal each day.

Lu Chen turned to Xiaozhou and asked, “Youyou, is your room also renovated?”

The main hall was where Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan lived. If only this place was renovated, his other women wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.

Zhou Youyou answered, “Prince, most of the residential rooms in the Prince’s Mansion have been turned into heated rooms, including the northern courtyard.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen said, “Then I am relieved.”

Upon entering the main hall, Mu Zixuan and the others knelt on the ground and sat around Lu Chen. He huddled with them and chatted about some affairs of Tianguang City.

At this time, Chu Yuqin stood outside the courtyard of the main hall, looking at the warm scene inside, she couldn’t help but sigh involuntarily.

Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yuqin with a puzzled face and asked, “Sister, what are you sighing about?”

Chu Yuqin snapped back to reality and quickly said, “It’s nothing, just thinking about some things from the past.”

“All right, there’s nothing to do now, you can go on patrol too.”

Chu Qingli eyed Chu Yuqin suspiciously, but didn’t think too much about it.

Although Lu Chen, that lecherous man, had returned, there were so many women around him, so her sister couldn’t have a moment alone with Lu Chen, thus Chu Qingli was temporarily relieved about Chu Yuqin.

After chatting with his wives and concubines for a while, Lu Chen went to his study.

The study had accumulated a lot of intelligence reports, though most were from the Rain-listening Pavilion, unlike the Brocade Guard whose reports were usually delivered immediately into Lu Chen’s hands, but most of the Rain- listening Pavilion’s intelligence ended up in Lu Chen’s study.

Lu Chen was eager to know the current movements of the major dynasties, especially what the Da Yue Dynasty was up to recently.

Just as Lu Chen approached the entrance of the study, he saw a figure with an impressive bearing.

Her face showed a touch of worry, a hint of anticipation, and a sense of bewilderment.

She hovered at the entrance of the study as if she was on patrol, but she seemed more like she was waiting for someone to arrive.
