Chapter 88: The Maid is Actually the Prince’s Maid_i

Translator: 549690339

Despite her own secrets having already been directly spoken by Lu Chen, Bai Qingqing still stubbornly said, ’’Prince, this servant came to North City on her own, with no relation to His Majesty. This servant doesn’t understand why the Prince would think so.”

Bai Qingqing really couldn’t understand how the North Prince could possibly know her identity and mission.

Even if the intelligence network of North Prince Mansion was very developed and had spies in the Capital, at most, the North Prince could have only found out that she was a Shadow Guard, absolutely not that she was the Deputy Commander of the Shadow Guards.

Even the Great Commander of the Shadow Guards didn’t know she was the Deputy Commander of the Shadow Guards, yet the North Prince knew.

Furthermore, when the Sum Emperor gave her the orders, it was done in her presence, and the orders hadn’t passed through a second pair of hands or lips; theoretically, there shouldn’t have been much chance of a leak.

Could it be that there was a problem around the Sum Emperor…?

State Preceptor!

The figure of Situ Ce flashed through Bai Qingqing’s mind in an instant.

On the day when the Sum Emperor gave her orders, Situ Ce was also present.

So the person who could have leaked her identity and mission, the likelihood was that it was only State Preceptor Situ Ce.

But State Preceptor Situ Ce was a confidant of the Sum Emperor; he had no reason to leak her matters.

Had Situ Ce defected?

Seeing Bai Qingqing still denying, Lu Chen merely smiled slightly, and then continued whispering in her ear, “You must be very curious about how I know all this.”

Upon hearing these words, Bai Qingqing immediately struggled weakly; she really did want to know how Lu Chen found out.

However, at this moment, Lu Chen whispered into her ear, “Because your heart and mine are connected, I can hear the thoughts inside your heart.”

Hearing this, Bai Qingqing knew that Lu Chen was making fun of her.

She felt that her mission had already failed and there was no need to stay at the North Prince Mansion any longer.

Immediately, she prepared to use her inner strength to push Lu Chen away.

She hadn’t dared to use her skill before, mainly because she was worried Lu Chen was an ordinary person, and she could accidentally injure him.

But now that she had exposed herself, she must leave the North Prince Mansion, and she didn’t care about those concerns anymore.

If she didn’t push Lu Chen away, she might not be able to leave later.

Just when Bai Qingqing was about to use her skill in an instant, she froze.

Her inner strength had disappeared…

What was going on?

She had experienced this situation once during the day; she initially thought it was some issue that arose during her martial arts practice, causing a momentary disappearance of her skill due to deviation.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, her inner strength disappeared again! Was this really an issue from her martial arts practice?

Or did all this have something to do with the North Prince to whom she was clinging?

Bai Qingqing continued to watch Lu Chen intently, trying to discern something from his gaze.

However, unfortunately, she only saw Lu Chen’s desire for her, and nothing else.

Bai Qingqing then said, “Prince, this servant suddenly feels a bit unwell today, and can only serve you another day.”

Bai Qingqing’s tone remained cold, and her expression was indifferent, as if she didn’t care at all about being unable to break free from Lu Chen.

Lu Chen’s hand was still lightly caressing her, and he then said, “Bai, from now on, you will stay with me.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing immediately said, “This servant is already Your Highness’s concubine maid.”

Lu Chen chuckled and then said, “Bai, you know that’s not what I mean.”

At that moment, Bai Qingqing’s heart violently jerked for the third time.

Suddenly, a blush appeared on her cold, exquisite cheeks, looking like a red flower blooming on an iceberg.

Bai Qingqing also realized something was wrong with her body. She tried to channel her skill again, but there was still no response.

Bai Qingqing had basically confirmed that this was related to Lu Chen.

During the day in the pavilion, she had felt her inner strength disappear, which happened when she was this close to Lu Chen as well.

All along the way here to North City, this had never happened, nor had there been any signs. However, upon entering the North Prince Mansion and coming into contact with the North Prince, her powers vanished.

Moreover, now that Lu Chen knew her identity, all of these things seemed inextricably linked to him, leaving no other plausible explanation.

What to do now?

Without her powers, she was no different from an ordinary person.

The only difference might be that she had a bit more strength than a typical sheltered young lady from a noble family.

However…

At this moment, Bai Qingqing attempted to use her own physical strength to push Lu Chen away. After all, she was an assassin; even without her inner strength, her own physical strength was much greater than that of an ordinary person.

But as soon as she exerted force in her arm, she found that it wasn’t just her skill that was gone; she couldn’t muster any strength in her body at all.

Bai Qingqing now understood that she was completely under Lu Chen’s control; there was absolutely no escape.

She then resigned herself to fate, lying flat on the bed, waiting for Lu Chen to do as he pleased.

Her identity was exposed, her abilities were sealed, and she could not muster any strength; what else could she do but satisfy Lu Chen’s desires and become his concubine maid?

After all, she had embraced and cuddled with Lu Chen since she was young. Though they hadn’t consummated their marriage, she had long given him her purity in practical terms.

In this era, an unmarried woman holding a man’s hand was enough to ruin her reputation, let alone someone who frequently warmed Lu Chen’s bed.

Bai Qingqing’s mind swiftly flashed through scenes from her childhood. From the moment of her birth, she was destined for a tragic fate, and everything happening now seemed only natural.

She was just a tool, whether as a tool for the Sum Emperor’s rule or as a tool for the North Prince’s venting. After all, a tool was still a tool.

Seeing Bai Qingqing look to the side, lying there motionless, with an air of resignation to whatever he would do, Lu Chen was somewhat stunned.

He had already revealed her identity, and although her favorability towards him was 100, she should still resist some, right?

Had she just given up so readily?

Lu Chen then continued to speak, “Bai, although I can’t change your past, I can change your future.”

“Withdraw from the Shadow Guard and become my woman, okay?”

Bai Qingqing still didn’t respond, looking for all the world like a dead pig not fearing being scalded.

What else could she say, when she was already pinned beneath Lu Chen?

Their skin was separated by only a few layers of clothing, and Lu Chen could make a move at any moment.

Seeing Bai Qingqing like this, Lu Chen thought that her emotions had come back to life; she couldn’t still be indifferent to matters of men and women, could she?

Thinking this, Lu Chen raised his head to look at Bai Qingqing, then slowly lowered it towards her pink lips.

Bai Qingqing didn’t dodge, and Lu Chen leaned in directly.

Lu Chen decided not to care anymore; since he had started this, he might as well continue.

Then Lu Chen began to kiss Bai Qingqing.

Meanwhile.

At the door, Chu Yuqin was staring with wide eyes through a small hole, watching everything happening in the room..
