Chapter 145: It Wont Affect My Attending The Imperial Court Tomorrow

Lu Yunshuangs eyes brightened when she heard this. Thats a good suggestion. Very well, well go with your idea and set up a few brothels in other locations first. As long as they are not in the imperial capital, it wont be difficult to get as many good-looking girls as we need. If the brothels in the imperial capital need extra manpower, well just transfer girls from the other locations back here.

Hong Xiu nodded. That is what your humble servant thinks as well.

Lu Yunshuangs mood lifted significantly after solving this difficult problem. She climbed down from the soft bed and said in a brisk, relaxed manner, Come. Lets go and see the Crown Prince. Oh yes, I instructed the kitchen to boil some nutritious soup. Go and get it, and bring it along with us.

Yes, Miss, Hong Xiu replied immediately.

Long Chi was going through Palace Memorials.

Recently, his Royal Uncle had finally let go of some of his responsibilities and allowed Long Chi to handle some Palace Memorials which were not very important.

Even though the Palace Memorials were not of the utmost importance, the task had been delegated to him by his Royal Uncle, and he did not dare to be negligent.

He read through the Palace Memorials until late into the night, when a servant announced from outside, The Crown Princess has arrived.

Long Chi pinched the s.p.a.ce between his brows. He was a little surprisedwhy was Shuanger here when it was already so late?

Let her come in.

Not long after, Lu Yunshuang entered, carrying with her a food basket.

She placed the food basket on the table and looked at Long Chi tenderly. Crown Prince, youve been handling administrative work until such a late hour. Ive boiled you some nutritious soup. Please drink it while its still hot.

Long Chi was startled for a moment. It was already so late at night, and he had not expected that Lu Yunshuang would be so concerned about him. It warmed his heart. He stood up and took her hand. Youre so thoughtful, Shuanger, but please dont do this next time. Its already so late; you should go to bed earlier.

Lu Yunshuang shook her head. Im not tired; its just boiling some soup. Youre the one who should take care of your health more. Youre still reading through Palace Memorials at such a late hourcant you wait until tomorrow to do it?

Long Chi was quite moved by this. He felt that it had been wrong of him to ignore his wife for the past few days.

I need to hand these Palace Memorials to Royal Uncle for him to look over tomorrow, but Ive already finished with them.

Lu Yunshuang nodded. Like a dutiful wife, she ladled the soup into a bowl and placed it in Long Chis hands. Crown Prince, please drink this while it is hot and take your rest once you have finished it.

Long Chi looked at the bowl of nutritious soup he was holding and felt very touched. He then drank a few mouthfuls. When he saw Lu Yunshuang packing up the basket as if to leave, he frowned. Are you going to leave right now?

Lu Yunshuang nodded. Yes. Its late, and I dont want to disturb your rest.

Long Chi put down the bowl and took her hand. Ill walk you back.

Theres no need for that; its just a short walk. It would be so troublesome for you to go to and fro. Moreover, it will disturb your rest. Lu Yunshuang shot Long Chi a look of displeasure as she picked up the basket and prepared to leave.

Long Chi stared at her beautiful countenance and suddenly felt a trace of burning desire within him. He held onto her hand without letting go and murmured in a low, hoa.r.s.e voice, Since you find that troublesome, why not stay here and rest with me, Shuanger?

Lu Yunshuangs pretty face blushed red, and she objected coyly, Its already so late at night, and you need to wake up early tomorrow to attend the imperial court

Long Chis heart was swayed by the sight, and he gave a low laugh. What are you thinking of, Shuanger? All Im asking is for you to rest with me. It wont affect my attending the imperial court tomorrow. Without giving her a chance to object, he picked her up in his arms when he finished speaking and headed straight for the bedroom.

Lu Yunshuang lay in his embrace, and a flash of victory glimmered in her eyes at the success of her scheme.

From the looks of it, the medicine was taking effect quite quickly.

The Crown Prince was now in the mood for intimacy.

Lu Yunshuang had calculated that she needed to get pregnant as soon as possible. Only then would she be able to secure her position. Even if the Crown Prince decided to take other women as consorts, she would have nothing to fear once she had a child.
