Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

After receiving the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit from the steward, Lu Chen went directly to the bedside of the Prince of Zhennan, opened the wooden box, and took out the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit.

The moment the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit left the wooden box, it emitted a seven-colored light. The seven-colored light shone on the King of Zhennan, and much of the death aura on the King of Zhennan dissipated.

Then Lu Chen held the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit to the mouth of the Prince of Zhennan and said, "Father, quickly eat it and try it."

Upon hearing this, the steward of the royal palace hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the King is unwell and I'm afraid he cannot directly consume the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit."

Upon hearing the steward's words, Lu Chen finally realized that the Prince of Zhennan was nearing the end of his life. Let alone whether he could bite into the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit, even if he could, his body would probably have difficulty withstanding its direct effects. One of the functions of the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit is to suppress evil spirits. If the effect is too direct, it may cause a violent conflict between the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit and the evil spirits, which would be bad for his body.

Moreover, the Prince of Zhennan's body was already in its twilight years and could not withstand too much stress, so the medicinal effects of the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit had to be diluted.

At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan said to his steward, "Go down and boil the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit into medicine."

The prince's steward immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen then put the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit back into the wooden box and handed it to the steward of the Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, Lu Chen spoke up, "Father, I want to summon everyone in the palace, including the palace's secret guards."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhennan was taken aback. He was curious as to why Lu Chen had summoned everyone in the Prince's Palace.
The Prince of Zhennan asked directly, "Is there something wrong?"

Lu Chen said, "I suspect that there are spies from the Blood Cloud Tower or other forces inside the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhennan continued, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Chen said, "Although the Blood Cloud Tower assassin is highly skilled in disguise, it would still take her some time to replace the maid of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. The fact that she was able to bury the maid's body in the backyard would be difficult to do without the help of people from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

When Prince Zhennan heard about the assassination last night, he already knew that there might be an inside agent in Prince Zhennan's mansion, since the mansion was heavily guarded and had a number of secret guards.

Given Lu Chen's previous incident, it's obvious that someone betrayed the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, or that other forces planted a pawn within it.

Even if he guessed that someone had betrayed the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was a huge place with at least several thousand people. How could he find the person who betrayed the Zhennan Prince's Mansion so easily?

At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan said, "Chen'er, I also suspect that there are spies from other forces in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion. However, the Prince of Zhennan's mansion has several thousand people, so it will be difficult to find the traitors. Even if you gather those people together and teach them a lesson, you can only make them behave for a while."

"My health is deteriorating, and those forces that have planted spies in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion will not let this opportunity pass."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately said, "Father, I have a way to find the traitor."

The Prince of Zhennan looked at Lu Chen with some disbelief. Lu Chen spoke with such certainty that he didn't seem to be lying. But how could he tell if those people had betrayed the Prince of Zhennan's mansion?
The Prince of Zhennan continued, "How can we distinguish them?"

Lu Chen said, "My method is not convenient to disclose for the time being. When the time comes, we just need to gather those people together, and we will be able to identify who has betrayed the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

After thinking for a moment, the Prince of Zhennan realized that Lu Chen seemed to be different now, and perhaps he could really let Lu Chen give it a try.

He also wanted to see how Lu Chen could identify the traitors.

Thinking of this, the Prince of Zhennan said, "Chen'er, after I die, you will be the Prince of Zhennan. You are the young master of the Prince's Mansion. You can do whatever you want without having to tell me. You can also freely mobilize the secret guards from now on."

Lu Chen immediately said, "Thank you, Father."

The Prince of Zhennan continued, "Then go now. I also want to see who has betrayed the Prince of Zhennan's mansion."

At this point, the Prince of Zhennan slightly turned his head to a corner of the room and said:
"Zhao Yu, from now on, all the guards of the Prince's mansion will be under the command of the Heir Apparent." As the Prince of Zhennan finished speaking, a figure slowly appeared in the corner of the room. The man was dressed in black, wearing a black cloth and his face was covered.

Lu Chen immediately used the system to identify him.

Name: Zhao Yu

[Identity: Commander of the Zhennan Prince's Palace Secret Guard]

[Realm Level: Early Earth Realm]

Age: 800

【Favourability: 50】

Upon seeing Zhao Yu's cultivation level, Lu Chen was taken aback. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion actually had a Earth Realm expert?
Based on what he had learned in the past few days, it seemed that there were no Earth Realm experts in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of the Earth Realm experts were related to the royal family.

It's no wonder that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has declined to such an extent that the royal family dares not directly touch it.

However, if the Prince of Zhennan really dies, some people will probably test him. To be precise, some forces are already testing him.

Those forces must be eager to know if there are any Earth Realm experts in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, or rather, they want to know if the Earth Realm experts in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion are still as loyal to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

After all, the only son of the Prince of Zhennan is just a spoiled brat. The Prince of Zhennan can keep the Earth Realm experts in the Prince's mansion in check, but Lu Chen, this spoiled brat, cannot. If the Earth Realm experts in the Prince's mansion have no loyalty to Lu Chen, then as soon as the Prince of Zhennan dies, the Prince of Zhennan's team will disband.

Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, Zhao Yu's voice came.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After responding to the Prince of Zhennan, Zhao Yu bowed to Lu Chen and said, "Zhao Yu, Commander of the Dark Guards, greets the Crown Prince!"

Lu Chen immediately said, "Commander Zhao, please rise!"

The Prince of Zhennan said, "Alright, Zhao Yu, now take the young master to clean up those parasites in the Prince's mansion."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu answered without hesitation, "Yes."

"Your Highness, please!"

Lu Chen then said, "Father, I'll be leaving now."

The Prince of Zhennan smiled kindly and said, "Go ahead. Oh, by the way, Xiaobai stays here. I have something to say to her."

Lu Chen said, "Yes, Father."

Lu Chen knew that the Prince of Zhennan had noticed the changes in his body. The Prince of Zhennan must want to ask Bai Qingqing about something, or have something to tell her. Lu Chen didn't care about this. Anyway, the fact that he could draw spiritual energy into his body would be announced sooner or later.

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and headed to the Prince's Mansion with Zhao Yu.

The moment Lu Chen left, the smile on the Prince of Zhennan's face vanished. He looked at Bai Qingqing and asked, "What's wrong with Chen'er's health?"

"If I remember correctly, he had no cultivation level yesterday." (End of Chapter)
