Chapter 283: Chapter 208 Our Child Will Become the Next Emperor of Chen Nation 1
Although Chen Wanrong had long been determined to take the initiative and make Lu Chen develop feelings of affection for her, so she could then use the Love Worm on him,
she just couldn’t find the opportunity to get close to Lu Chen. Lu Chen was busy dealing with state affairs during the day, and at night, he was occupied with sorting out his women. He was truly a busy man, leaving her no chance at all.
Today, Lu Chen had taken the initiative to come to the entrance of her courtyard, finally presenting Chen Wanrong with an opportunity that she could not afford to miss.
After hearing Chen Wanrong’s words, Lu Chen replied with a smile, “That wouldn’t be quite appropriate. After all, I am a man, and if I frequently enter the courtyard where Miss Chen resides, I’m afraid it could damage Miss Chen’s reputation.”
At this point, Lin Wanyun chimed in, “Chen’er, we are staying at the North Prince Mansion and have received such great care. We should indeed do something for you.”
“The playing of the Palace Master indeed has the power to allow one to relax. You have been preoccupied with state affairs recently and must be extremely fatigued every day. If you could listen to the Palace Master’s music every day, it would be of great benefit to both your body and mind.”
“Moreover, you would only be in the courtyard to listen to the Palace Master’s music, not entering her boudoir, so there should be no idle gossip.”
Hearing Lin Wanyun’s words, Lu Chen gazed into Chen Wanrong’s eyes as if waiting for her response.
At this moment, Chen Wanrong, with an emotionless face, said, “If Prince wishes to hear me play, I can play the Prince’s favorite pieces every day.”
Seeing Chen Wanrong agree, Lu Chen smiled and said, “Since Miss Chen has consented, it would seem ungrateful of me to refuse. Very well, if I am too exhausted from dealing with state affairs, I will come to this courtyard to listen to Miss Chen’s performance.”
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, both Lin Wanyun and Chen Wanrong were visibly stirred. Having stayed in the North Prince Mansion for so long, they finally found an opportunity to employ the Love Worm on Lu Chen.
As long as Lu Chen was willing to visit the courtyard they resided in frequently, it might not take long before they could use the Love Worm on him.
Once the Love Worm was in place, the entire North Prince Mansion would fall under the control of the Mysterious Moon Palace, and Chen Wanrong’s restoration of her nation would become much easier.
At this moment, Chen Wanrong took a glance at Lu Chen and, for some reason, suddenly found that he seemed to have become even more handsome recently, and his aura had undergone significant changes. She wondered if it was just her imagination.
Then Lu Chen said, “Madam Lin, Miss Chen, I still have matters to attend to, so I will not disturb you further.”
“I will come another day.”
With those words, Lu Chen turned and left. Chen Wanrong then said, “Prince, take care.”
Before long, Lu Chen returned to his study to continue handling state affairs.
After Lu Chen had left, Lin Wanyun said to Chen Wanrong, “Palace Master, it seems that it won’t be long before you can use the Love Worm.”
Hearing this, Chen Wanrong showed no emotion on her face as she looked towards the entrance, seemingly lost in thought.
Lin Wanyun continued, “Palace Master, if possible, I hope that in the end you won’t harm him. After all, he is the child of your senior sister and is also considered the God’s Son of the Mysterious Moon Palace.”
Chen Wanrong then slowly sat down and gently placed her jade hands back on the guqin, “Madam Lin need not worry, I will not kill him.”
Hearing Chen Wanrong say this, Lin Wanyun breathed a sigh of relief. Though Lu Chen was the bloodline of the Sum Emperor, he was also Chu Yue’s child. If something were to happen to Lu Chen, she would surely feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Since Chen Wanrong had already stated she would not kill him, Lin Wanyun assumed that, after using Lu Chen, Chen Wanrong would probably release him.
While Lin Wanyun was thinking this, Chen Wanrong spoke up, “After the restoration of Chen Nation, I will need a child. His conditions are not bad, suitable to be my husband. I will have a child with him, and our child will become the next Emperor of Chen Nation.”
Lin Wanyun was completely stunned by Chen Wanrong’s words.
Is this what Chen Wanrong was thinking?
She had always assumed that Chen Wanrong simply wanted to use Lu Chen to create the Subtle Dragon Spell, kill the Sum Emperor, restore her nation, and then discard Lu Chen once he had served his purpose. To think that Chen Wanrong also had designs on Lu Chen’s body!
But on second thought, Lu Chen was handsome and dashing. Although somewhat lecherous, his qualities were not lacking in any aspect. Plus, with the control of the Love Worm, Lu Chen would absolutely obey Chen Wanrong’s commands.
In the future, whatever Chen Wanrong wanted Lu Chen to do, he would have to comply. His lecherous nature would also change eventually.
Collecting herself, Lin Wanyun hurriedly said, “Palace Master, there is a rule in the Mysterious Moon Palace that disciples are not allowed to have children.”
Although the Mysterious Moon Palace allowed men and women to become partners, to avoid worldly trouble, disciples were forbidden from having children.
Chen Wanrong said indifferently, “Once my child inherits the throne of Chen Nation, I will return to the Mysterious Moon Palace to meditate and cultivate in seclusion, and will no longer concern myself with worldly affairs.”
This…
Lin Wanyun thought for a moment. After all, Chen Wanrong was a disciple of the Honorable, and even if she truly had a child, the current elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace would not have the authority to punish her, only the Honorable would have that right.
But with the Honorable in seclusion, who knew how long it would be before he emerged? It could be that they all turned to dust while the Honorable remained in seclusion.
So for now, there was no one who could stop whatever Chen Wanrong wanted to do.
