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

North Prince Mansion, East Courtyard.

Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun sat in the pavilion for two hours, yet they had not seen any maid or servant from the North Prince Mansion come to summon them to treat the North Prince’s concubine.

This left them both somewhat perplexed.

The premature rupture of the membranes is very dangerous, and it’s not uncommon in this era to have both mother and child perish.

Could it be that the North Prince actually doesn’t want them to go over to help?

The two of them are from the Mysterious Moon Palace, and one of them is even the Palace Master. Saving a woman whose water had broken shouldn’t be a problem for them.

Is the North Prince distrusting them?

At that moment, Lin Wanyun noticed that the maid who had gone to the North Courtyard to help earlier had returned. She immediately got up from the stone bench and approached the maid, asking, “Young girl, how is Madam Xiaozhou now?”

The maid knew that some things were not to be disclosed, so she simply replied, “Madam Xiaozhou has been out of danger and has successfully given birth to an heir for the Prince.”

Hearing the maid’s reply, Lin Wanyun felt a bit surprised.

It seems that the Prince’s Mansion does have its experts.

Lin Wanyun then turned and returned to the pavilion, “Palace Master, it looks like we will only have a chance after the Barbarian Tribe is repelled.”

The opportunity Lin Wanyun was referring to was naturally the chance to make a presence in front of the North Prince.

If Chen Wanrong wanted to seduce Lu Chen and stir his affections, she needed to make herself more visible in his presence.

When they first arrived at North City, they believed that it would be easy to captivate the North Prince, a man known for his lustful nature — after all, Chen Wanrong’s beauty was second to none in Great Sum, and she was even listed as one of the absolute beauties.

That lecherous man couldn’t help but be muddled when he saw Chen Wanrong.

However, after their exchange with Lu Chen, they believed that simply tempting the North Prince with beauty might not be so straightforward.

Even if the North Prince was lustful, he was intelligent; he might realize they had ulterior motives for him.

Therefore, if they wanted to get close to the North Prince, they couldn’t just tempt him with beauty; they had to demonstrate their other values as well.

It would be best if they could make the North Prince fall in love with their Palace Master without him realizing it.

If they wanted the North Prince to develop feelings for Chen Wanrong, it would take some time to cultivate. Now, with the Barbarian Army soon to head south, there wasn’t much time left.

As it appears now, they would have to wait until after the war was over.

However, whether the North Prince could survive in the end was still a big question.

At this thought, Chen Wanrong became a little absent-minded.

She remembered the time when Great Sum attacked Chen Nation; her Emperor father had allowed his wives, concubines, and offspring to leave the capital first, then made a last stand with the Great Sum army at the city walls, eventually dying there.

She was young at the time, but she remembered vividly what happened.

Who would have thought that in just a few short years, she would encounter a similar scene, only this time the one fighting against the invading enemy was not her Imperial father, but the son of the man who killed her father.

Chen Wanrong couldn’t help but feel the irony in this situation.

After spending some time with Zhou Youyou and the child in her room, Lu Chen went to his study.

He was very concerned about the reward he had just received.

Upon entering the study, Lu Chen immediately asked the system, “System, where are the 50,000 Black Cavalry now?”

The Barbarian Tribe was about to move south, and Lu Chen had been pondering how to devour the 300,000 strong Barbarian Cavalry. However, no matter how he manipulated the maps, he found that eating through the 300,000 Barbarian Cavalry was an extremely difficult task.

While he had the 122mm howitzer, a formidable weapon at his disposal, the Barbarian Cavalry was highly mobile. Once they decided to flee, his men wouldn’t be able to catch up.

North City only had 30,000 soldiers, and among these, only a few thousand were cavalry, who were largely untrained at that.

If the Barbarian Army were to panic and flee because of the howitzers, sending the small force of soldiers from North City to pursue or intercept the Barbarian Cavalry would be unrealistic.

But now things are different!

Now he had fifty thousand cavalrymen at his command, who could be lying in ambush at the rear of Wanning Valley. The moment the Barbarian Tribe’s cavalry entered the valley, they could encircle all three hundred thousand of them.

If the barbarian cavalry tried to flee, these fifty thousand would give chase as well.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen inwardly praised the system; it always delivered precisely what he lacked.

At that moment, the system notification arrived, “The fifty thousand Black Cavalry are currently located at the foot of Yan’an Mountain in the northeastern part of North City. They have received your summoning order.”

Seeing this prompt, Lu Chen was taken aback.

He knew that subordinates obtained through the system in this world were given implanted identities, that is, they were natives of this world. Hearing that his fifty thousand Black Cavalry were in the northeastern part of North City, Lu Chen felt a pang of apprehension.

Could these fifty thousand Black Cavalrymen have the implanted identity of Barbarian Tribe soldiers?

After all, the north was solely inhabited by barbarians…

Lu Chen immediately asked, “System, are the Black Cavalry and the five hundred thousand people all from the Barbarian Tribe?”

“The fifty thousand Black Cavalry and five hundred thousand people you have acquired have the implanted identity of Great Yu Remnants. Five hundred years ago, they fled to the north to escape the turmoil of war and settled down within a great mountain,” the system replied.

“Today, their shamans, following the mandate of heaven, recognize the North Prince as the Son of Destiny. They will follow the North Prince to unify the world.”

This…

Well, this implanted identity wasn’t unacceptable.

After all, Great Yu had been extinct for over five hundred years, and Great Sum was established on the foundation of Great Yu. The citizens of Great Sum could be said to be the former people of Great Yu.

Lu Chen continued, “How long will it take for the Black Cavalry to arrive if I issue the summoning order now?”

“At the earliest, half a month,” the system responded.

Lu Chen muttered to himself, “Half a month, that’s more than enough!”

In the North Land.

Yan’an Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain was an unbroken expanse of buildings. The architectural style here bore a striking resemblance to Great Sum, as if this place were within Great Sum’s borders.

However, it did not belong to Great Sum, nor any other nation or dynasty.

This was Great Yu City.

At this moment, the streets of Great Yu City were bustling with pedestrians going to and fro and carriages and horses moving about, making it seem very lively.

But just then, the people walking on the streets suddenly stopped, as if their bodies had been frozen in place.

The carriages also halted instantly.

Everyone simultaneously raised their heads, looking to the south.

At the same time.

In the City Lord’s Mansion of Great Yu City.

An old man with an intense gaze, staring at a turtle shell before him, said to two sturdy men clad in black armor, “The mandate of heaven lies to the south; the Human Emperor has appeared. It is time for us to enter the world!”

Immediately, the two sturdy men began rallying the Black Cavalry to head towards North City in Great Sum with all their might.

That evening.

After dinner, Chu Yuqin patrolled the inner courtyard.

Though there were many lanterns lighting up the Prince’s Mansion at night, the light from the lanterns wasn’t very bright, and the courtyard still seemed rather dim.

Suddenly, Chu Yuqin saw a shadow slip into the courtyard where Bai Qingqing resided. Frowning, she softly propelled herself with a gentle push of her legs, leaping onto the top of the courtyard wall, and then quickly followed after.

The intruder moved stealthily as if up to no good..
