Chapter 557 : 336: What a Good Name for Wind Cloud Palace_3
"This is a Spirit Dove. If you encounter any confusion in your cultivation in the future, you can write a letter and use the Spirit Dove to send a message to me,"
Lu Chen cast a glance at the dove in Yun Xianxian's hand, about to say something, when suddenly, Yun Xianxian's body disappeared on the spot, leaving only the blue dove behind.
After Yun Xianxian vanished, the restriction on Lu Chen's body was lifted. He quickly bowed his head to check his body and, finding everything in order, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the Spirit Dove left behind by Yun Xianxian on the desk, Lu Chen felt a surge of anger in his belly. What he wanted to do most now was to kill this Spirit Dove and make soup out of it to vent his frustration.
Of course, he didn't actually do that. He glanced again at the white snowflakes on the ground, all of which had been frozen by the cold Spiritual Energy released by Yun Xianxian.
Lu Chen sighed. What an ordeal— he had been tormented by a woman all night long and ended up without even a kiss or an embrace.
Nevermind, in the end, he had passed the test of Yun Xianxian, not only could he freely indulge in mischief with the fairy Chen Wanrong, but he also gained the Mysterious Moon Palace as a backing. His status in this world was thus increasingly stable.
With this in mind, Lu Chen immediately turned and walked towards the resting room of the study. Upon entering, he took out a set of clothes from the cabinet and got dressed.
Dawn.
Mu Zixuan was watering the Dragon Phoenix Tree. The tree had sprouted new branches, and Mu Zixuan was particularly attentive to it, as one of the people who knew the secrets of the Dragon Phoenix Tree.
At that moment, Lu Chen rushed into the courtyard. Seeing him, Mu Zixuan said with a smile, "Prince, your servant has already prepared breakfast for you, all nourishing foods!"
Before Mu Zixuan could finish speaking, she suddenly lost her balance. Lu Chen, seeing Mu Zixuan in her tight red dress, had his eyes gleaming with golden light. He promptly used Shadow Shifting, appearing instantly in front of Mu Zixuan, then scooped her up in a princess carry.
Having been punished to stand all night in the study, although he managed to dissipate the stagnant skill within his body, everything he experienced last night was an illusion; it wasn't real enough. Lu Chen could no longer bear it.
Mu Zixuan, having lost her balance, was momentarily stunned and let out a startled cry, "Ah! Prince!"
Before Mu Zixuan could say anything more, Lu Chen carried her off to the Wind Cloud Palace. Then he turned to the maid at the doorway and ordered: "Xiao Rou, go call Madam Xiaozhou and Madam Dazhou. Tell them the Prince wants to discuss some matters with them."
Without waiting for the maid to respond, Lu Chen entered the Wind Cloud Palace, tossing Mu Zixuan onto the soft large bed.
Mu Zixuan was still a bit dazed. She had just thought that Lu Chen, not having returned the previous night, must have spent a flirtatious night in the study.
But in the next moment, she became the prey of Lu Chen.
Mu Zixuan didn't think too much about it; after all, as Lu Chen's wife, it was her duty to attend to him.
However, she quickly realized something was amiss. Lu Chen seemed particularly fiery today, and she suspected that he might have been provoked in some way.
Fortunately, Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao arrived at the Wind Cloud Palace just in time.
In the mornings, Lu Chen's wives and concubines would usually gather in the Wind Cloud Court for conversation and tea.
Today was no exception.
When Chu Yuqin arrived at the Wind Cloud Court, she found Yelv Nanyan and the others sitting quietly in the pavilion without a word. Chu Qingli watched the Wind Cloud Palace with a strange look on her face.
Chu Yuqin walked into the pavilion and said, "What's going on here?"
At this point, Chu Yuqin noticed that Mu Zixuan, Zhou Youyou, and Zhou Xiaoxiao were all absent. On any regular day, the two Zhous would be the first to arrive in the courtyard, as they were the most idle in the Prince's Mansion. All the other women in the mansion had tasks to a greater or lesser extent, but their main duty was to take care of the children.
Yet today, they hadn't shown up even though it was getting late.
Chu Yuqin continued, "Have Youyou and Xiaoxiao gone out? Why haven't I seen them?"
"Now is a critical time; it's best to take more people when going out."
Soon, Great Wu would declare war on North Country, and Yan County was surely filled with Great Wu's spies. No one could be certain that those spies wouldn't harm Lu Chen's wives and concubines.
Chu Qingli then said, "Sister, you're already a Grandmaster; are your ears still that bad? Just listen to what's happening in the Wind Cloud Palace."
Upon hearing Chu Qingli's words, Chu Yuqin was momentarily stunned before she tuned into the situation inside the Wind Cloud Palace. In the next moment, she could hear the intermittent voices.
And clearly, Mu Zixuan along with Big Zhou and Little Zhou were all there.
Chu Yuqin then realized and said, puzzled, "Didn't Chen'er stay in the study all of last night without coming back? How come this early in the morning..."
"Who knows what kind of madness has taken him," replied Chu Qingli.
Chu Yuqin frowned slightly, then said, "Qingli, I've told you many times, Chen'er is the Prince, and now that you're his woman, you should show him more respect!"
At this moment, Yelv Nanyan covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Little Chu might just be resentful because she hasn't been favored by the Prince for so long, hence the reaction to the sounds inside."
Hearing this, Chu Qingli's complexion changed, and she quickly retorted, "Don't talk nonsense; I'm not that kind of woman."
Chu Yuqin didn't continue to lecture Chu Qingli, but her gaze turned towards Wind Cloud Palace, and her face showed a hint of worry.
Although Lu Chen now seemed to have reverted to normal, becoming the lecher he used to be, she couldn't shake the feeling that the pressure on him had increased today. Otherwise, why would he have Mu Zixuan and both Big Zhou and Little Zhou go to the Wind Cloud Palace to do such deeds?
Chu Yuqin felt a vague sense of shame when she thought that she couldn't share Lu Chen's worries, even though she was already a Grandmaster and still couldn't alleviate his burden.
At that moment, Chu Yuqin suddenly thought of something.
She might not be able to share Lu Chen's worries about the matters of North Country, but she could bring him peace of mind.
With that thought, Chu Yuqin resolutely headed toward the Wind Cloud Palace.
Seeing this, Chu Qingli was taken aback and quickly asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Chu Yuqin's face flushed as she said, "I'm going to check if anything has happened to Chen'er, you guys continue chatting."
Hearing this, Chu Qingli silently watched Chu Yuqin.
Without saying more, Chu Yuqin quickly entered the Wind Cloud Palace.
Yelv Nanyan took a sip of tea and then remarked indifferently, "The name 'Wind Cloud Palace' really is well-chosen; the Prince indeed has foresight."
