Chapter 87: The Dark Shadow Entering Bai

Qingqing’s Roomi

Translator: 549690339

Chu Yuqin was curious about who would dare to barge into the inner courtyard of the North Prince Mansion so late at night.

Those who had come to assassinate Lu Chen in the past could not even be found now, and yet someone was still bold enough to lurk in the North Prince Mansion and cause trouble under these circumstances.

After entering the courtyard where Bai Qingqing stayed, Chu Yuqin immediately hid behind a rockery, wanting to see what the shadowy figure was planning to do.

Just then, the figure swiftly opened the door to Bai Qingqing’s room and slipped inside.

Because the lantern light was too dim, Chu Yuqin couldn’t clearly see what the person looked like.

Chu Yuqin couldn’t help but wonder why this person would go to Bai Qingqing’s room.

Could it be they intended to do something to Bai Qingqing?

After all, Bai Qingqing was also a martial artist, and during the day, she had roughly sensed Bai Qingqing’s inner strength. It’s very likely that Bai Qingqing was already a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, perhaps even stronger than her.

If the assassin was looking for trouble with Bai Qingqing, wasn’t that seeking death?

Moreover, Bai Qingqing had only just arrived at the Prince’s Mansion; how could there be an assassin coming after her today?

Or could it be that the assassin entered the wrong room? Perhaps, they had intended to go to Lu Chen’s room, but mistook Bai Qingqing’s room for Lu Chen’s?

While Chu Yuqin was pondering this, a candle was lit inside the room.

However, no sound of combat came from within.

Chu Yuqin was slightly stunned.

What was going on?

Why hadn’t Bai Qingqing attacked the assassin?

Could it be that he was in cahoots with Bai Qingqing?

No, that should be said the other way around: Bai Qingqing was in cahoots with that person.

Bai Qingqing had been away for so many years, and now she had suddenly come to find them, claiming she would stay; this was suspicious from the start.

When it came to the safety of Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin was always sensitive.

Even when Wang Qingci ran over to cultivate a relationship with Lu Chen, she had to be on guard against Wang Qingci.

Chu Yuqin approached the room cautiously, intending to see what the situation inside was.

Meanwhile, inside the room.

After Lu Chen lit the candlelight, he looked at Bai Qingqing who was sitting on the bed, meditating.

Seeing Lu Chen come to find her so late, Bai Qingqing felt puzzled and asked, “What does the Prince need from this servant at such a late hour?”

Lu Chen replied with a smile, “Can’t I come find you if I have nothing particular in mind?”

As he spoke, Lu Chen sat down on the edge of the bed with a practiced ease, as if he was completely unaware that he was sitting on an unmarried girl’s bed.

With Lu Chen suddenly so close, Bai Qingqing’s heart jerked, and she couldn’t explain why, but she suddenly had a very strange feeling.

At this moment, Lu Chen asked, “Bai, do you still remember how 1 used to hold you and tell you stories when you were little?”

When Lu Chen brought this up suddenly, Bai Qingqing was even more perplexed. The North Prince came to her room late at night just to talk about these things?

Bai Qingqing answered emotionlessly, “This servant remembers.”

Then, Lu Chen reached out his hand, directly took hold of Bai Qingqing’s jade hand, and continued, “Then, you should also remember that I said, once you grow up, you would become my woman.”

Hearing this, Bai Qingqing finally understood what the North Prince was doing in her room so late at night.

Back when she was a bed-warming maid for the North Prince at the Imperial Palace, he was never a content man.

Moreover, the intelligence recently gathered by the Shadow Guard also mentioned that the North Prince was an extremely lustful man.

To visit her chamber in the dead of night, alone with her, what else could it be for?

But Bai Qingqing didn’t react too dramatically; she appeared almost like a wooden doll, to the extent that she didn’t stop Lu Chen from making his advances.

At that moment, Bai Qingqing said with an expressionless face, “This servant is merely the Prince’s concubine maid, available for use at any time the Prince desires my body.”

Seeing Bai Qingqing’s cold and expressionless face made Lu Chen even more restless inside.

The more indifferent Bai Qingqing seemed, the more Lu Chen wanted to see her beg for mercy later, and this ignited a desire to conquer within him.

However, Lu Chen didn’t dive straight into the matter at hand.

Bai Qingqing’s emotions had just begun to revive, and since she had been accustomed to embracing and being caressed by him from a young age, she didn’t even think to resist.

So he planned to reveal Bai Qingqing’s true identity directly, letting her understand that he already knew who she really was.

With her identity exposed, Bai Qingqing would surely behave differently.

Lu Chen didn’t believe that she could remain so calm later on.

Afterward, Lu Chen lifted his hands and placed them on Bai Qingqing’s fragrant shoulders, then slowly laid her on the bed and lay on top of her soft body, just watching her.

And Bai Qingqing also looked into Lu Chen’s eyes, still offering no resistance.

Lu Chen then lifted her jade arms above her head and took her wrists in one hand, and whispered into her ear, “Vice Commander Bai, is it worth sacrificing your purity like this to fulfill the task my imperial father has given you?”

Hearing Lu Chen’s whisper in her ear, Bai Qingqing’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

She hadn’t expected that Lu Chen would already know her true identity.

As her emotions revived, Bai Qingqing began to feel more emotions, such as nervousness and panic; she was no longer the fearless killing tool she had been before.

Bai Qingqing found it hard to believe; she had just arrived in North City, how could the North Prince have discovered her identity?

Besides, didn’t the intelligence from the Shadow Guard say that the North Prince was nothing but an ineffective ruler, and based on what she knew of him from childhood, shouldn’t he just be a lecherous fool?

And yet, this North Prince lying on top of her had discerned her identity with a single sentence?

Although she was momentarily nervous inside, being an experienced Vice Commander of the Shadow Guard, Bai Qingqing quickly regained her composure.

She then said in a cold tone, “What do you mean by that, Prince? Your servant doesn’t understand.”

Lu Chen’s hand, not content to stay idle, slipped into Bai Qingqing’s clothes, and as he touched her indiscriminately, he said, “Bai, it seems you’ve indeed grown quite a bit over these years.”

With these words, he blew gently into Bai Qingqing’s ear, causing her heart to suddenly skip a beat.

Immediately after, a strange sensation flooded her body, leaving her feeling inexplicably hot, an experience she had never known before.

Again, Bai Qingqing was stunned; feeling her emotions just beginning to awaken, she was at a loss on how to react to the physical thrill.

But she understood that it must be related to Lu Chen.

Bai Qingqing slightly twisted her supple body, attempting to free herself from beneath Lu Chen.

However, her body had already been firmly pinned by Lu Chen, leaving her no chance to escape.

Seeing Bai Qingqing beginning to struggle, Lu Chen knew his words had taken effect, and he continued whispering in her ear, “Bai, did my imperial father send you to North City to see if there were spies from the Mysterious Moon Palace among my people?”

As Lu Chen mentioned even her mission, Bai Qingqing suddenly came to her senses; the North Prince knew far more than she had assumed.

This was trouble. She hadn’t expected that just after arriving at the North Prince Mansion, both her identity and mission would be uncovered by the North Prince..
