Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal
Chapter 212 Breakthrough
Mo Zhaohua got up immediately without even changing his clothes, and sat cross-legged on the couch in his pajamas.
Chu Xuanchi supported himself on the bed with both hands and sat up, and asked with concern, "The weather is getting colder, Zhao Zhao, do you want to change your clothes?"
Mo Zhaohua closed his eyes slightly and began to gather his energy, "No, I feel very hot and I wish I could pour cold water on my head."
The darkness before dawn shrouded the bed. Chu Xuanchi couldn't see Mo Zhaohua's face clearly, but her words sounded different in his ears.
He asked tentatively, "Zhao Zhao, are you sure you want to break through your mental skills, and not have other ideas that lead to..."
They had been married for more than two months but had not yet consummated their marriage. He was worried that she was inexperienced and did not understand matters between men and women, and that she might have misunderstandings.
Mo Zhaohua's face flushed. "My dear, although I have not yet consummated my marriage with you, at least I am well-read and can tell the difference."
She regretted it deeply. If she had known he would have such a misunderstanding, she would not have used the word "hot". She could have used other words to describe it.
Chu Xuanchi was embarrassed when he heard this, "Ahem... then Zhao Zhao should work hard to break through. Your husband is waiting for your good news."
Mo Zhaohua took a deep breath and calmed down the emotions that had just been aroused. "I'll leave the rest to my husband."
Chu Xuanchi shouted, "Wuying, starting today, Prince Yu's Mansion will be closed to visitors. Even if someone comes from the palace, please send him away."
There was no partition in the east wing, so Zhenzhu slept in the outer room and Wuying had to sleep in the yard. Mo Zhaohua was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he asked him to go to the main hall.
The main hall is next door. Although it is not convenient to lie down and sleep, it can at least block the wind and rain and prevent him from being attacked by the cold wind.
There was a wall between them, so even loud noises could be heard. Wuying came over and said, "What if the imperial physician comes to treat the master?"
Chu Xuanchi thought for a moment, "Then tell him that I am now a cripple and do not need any further treatment, unless the imperial physician can help me stand up again."
Mo Zhaohua didn't want him to ruin his reputation again, "Husband, no, if you do this, your reputation will really be ruined."
Chu Xuanchi didn't care. "It doesn't matter. The worse my reputation is, the more reassured those people will be. This is actually a good thing for me."
He then instructed Wuying, "You personally guard outside and send them away no matter who they are. Don't let anyone in."
It was dark, and the screen separated them, so the misty shadow couldn't see inside. "Master, can you tell me what happened?"
Chu Xuanchi laughed, "Nothing happened, that's a good thing, one day is enough, just do it with peace of mind, no need to worry."
Wuying was relieved. "It's good that nothing happened. Since it's the master's order, I promise that I won't let even a fly into the backyard."
***
The next day.
The assassination of Prince Yu caused a sensation in Shengjing.
Several waves of people came and went in the palace, and all kinds of rare medicinal materials were delivered to the Prince Yu's Palace.
Many officials sent invitations to the Prince's Palace, wanting to visit him, but the concierge did not accept a single one.
From inside the palace to outside the palace, from the noble courtyards to teahouses and taverns, everyone was talking about the assassin's night attack on the Prince's Palace.
In the palace, Empress Dowager Yuande went to see Emperor Wenzong with great concern, and was relieved to learn that Chu Xuanchi's life was not in danger.
"Emperor, Chi'er is not in good health, and there are many people watching him. The palace guards alone cannot protect his safety."
Empress Dowager Yuande suggested, "There's no guarantee that assassins won't take advantage of the situation again. How about assigning him a team of guards to protect him temporarily?"
Emperor Wenzong had just learned the news about the Prince Yu's Mansion and was having a headache. "What the Queen Mother said is very true, but I don't know if the Fifth Prince will accept it now?"
Empress Dowager Yuande was puzzled. "The emperor means well, why doesn't Chi'er accept it? Didn't he transfer the imperial guards for him before?"
Emperor Wenzong told her, "Perhaps because he was too embarrassed last night, his temperament changed drastically today, and the imperial physician refused to see him and wanted to give up treatment."
"What?" Empress Dowager Yuande was shocked. "How could he be so willful? Isn't this destroying his own hope?"
Li Tuquan explained, "Empress Dowager, this is not the fault of Prince Yu. The prince was injured by an assassin in front of the princess last night."
Empress Dowager Yuande was a woman, so she naturally understood men's minds. As soon as Li Tuquan reminded her, she realized that Chu Xuanchi felt ashamed.
Emperor Wenzong took the opportunity to say, "I cannot force him, otherwise it will make matters worse. As for the Imperial Guards, I will give it a try."
In the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince and his wife were also discussing the assassination of Chu Xuanchi.
The Crown Princess's face was full of concern. "Your Highness, should we leave the palace and go see our fifth brother?"
The prince sighed, "I would like to go, but the Prince Yu's Palace has been closed to visitors, and even the imperial physician has not been able to see my fifth brother."
The Crown Princess was very thoughtful and quick to react. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Did Fifth Brother suffer a setback from the assassination attempt yesterday?"
The prince nodded, "Probably. He once fought on the battlefield, but now he can't even handle an assassin, especially in front of his brother and sister-in-law."
The Crown Princess frowned slightly, "In this case, I'm afraid her pride won't be able to get over it, but shouldn't we go and comfort her?"
The prince's eyes darkened, "Let him calm down for two days first. If he really goes there now, he won't be able to see anyone, which will only make things difficult for him."
***
That night.
Chu Xuanchi leaned against the head of the bed, his face too pale.
He is cruel to his enemies and even crueler to himself, and he always hurts himself severely.
The bed curtains had not been lifted, so even though Wuying and Amber came in to serve, they could not see what was going on inside.
After waiting for a whole day, Mo Zhaohua finally opened her eyes at this moment, "It's done, husband, I have broken through the second level."
Chu Xuanchi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Zhao Zhao. According to what is written in the Su Wen Heart Sutra, you have made some progress in your internal strength."
Mo Zhaohua raised her hand to gather her drooping hair, "Then can I learn martial arts?"
Chu Xuanchi guessed that she had this intention because of what happened last night, "What does Zhao Zhao want to learn? The art of self-defense, or the art of killing?"
Mo Zhaohua was indeed thinking this way, and he had already decided what he wanted to learn. "Protect yourself first, then kill people. You can do it step by step."
Chu Xuanchi thought for a while, "Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best strategy. If you want to protect yourself, you can first learn Qinggong. If you can't win, just run away."
"Are you eager to learn?" Mo Zhaohua didn't want to rush, but time was running out. "How long will it take to achieve something? For example, to be able to fly."
"With your comprehension and your current internal strength, you will be able to fly over rooftops and walk on walls in a few months. By then, this Prince Yu's Palace will not be able to hold you back."
Mo Zhaohua looked at him with burning eyes, "No, it was never this Prince Yu's Mansion that trapped me, but my husband's heart."
For him, she was willing to live within the high walls and red tiles of the Imperial Palace. She repaid the love she had shown him in her previous life with deep affection in this life.
"Zhao Zhao..." Chu Xuanchi couldn't help himself and reached out to hold her in his arms, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his chest, "Ahem..."
He coughed lightly, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Although Mo Zhaohua had expected this, it still made her feel distressed.
This can't go on any longer, he must get better!
