Chapter 274 Leaving the Palace
When Chu Zhiyuan returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, his face was a little pale.

Continuously performing the sword-controlling technique and striking out more than five hundred times in one breath was indeed extremely exhausting.

What was consumed was not only mental energy, but also the power of the soul. After returning to the palace, he directly connected with the Eternal Spirit Tree.

The spirituality of the Eternal Spirit Tree became more and more powerful, as if it had grown a year older. It curiously circled around him, observing him, circling around him, and occasionally rushing over to play with him.

After Chu Zhiyuan played with it for a while, he took back the spiritual power and severed the connection while it was reluctant to leave.

Chu Zhiyuan thought it was cute and it was enough to play with it for a while. If he played with it for any longer, he would lose his patience.

After his soul recovered, he began to recall today's cleaning process and did not encounter any danger.

The assassination of Chu Zhiting seemed to be a revenge, and I was just overthinking it.

But he would rather think he was worrying too much.

I wonder how the Grand Master of the Grand Master’s Mansion is tracking, and whether he will encounter any danger.

After he saw Lu Yaofeng's cave, he knew that the grand master was not invincible and no one could threaten him.

At least the alien power in that cave can.

So even the Grand Master cannot act without caution.

-

At dinner time, Bai Ningshuang hurried back, looking very tired, which made Chu Zhiyuan feel strange.

"The queen is sick again." She sighed and shook her head, "She is in great trouble."

"Isn't he poisoned again?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Last time it was poison, and this time the sudden illness seemed strange.

"It's probably not poisoning this time, it's just that the cough won't stop." Bai Ningshuang sighed, "It's an old problem."

"...Mom's old illness has come back again." Chu Minghou nodded helplessly: "It's the root of the disease when I was born."

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

He knew that Chu Minghou was born with a weak constitution and almost lost his life, which must have been related to Concubine Rou's condition at the time.

Chu Ming said: "She has gone too far in her practice and is very difficult to cure. We can only slowly treat her."

Chu Zhiyuan was suddenly surprised.

Chu Yi also opened his eyes wide with curiosity: "Grandma actually practices martial arts?"

Chu Minghou said: "When your grandmother was young, her martial arts skills were very powerful. It seems that she had reached the level of a perfect master. Unfortunately, when she was trying to break through the level of a great master, she went astray and almost lost her life."

"Grandma is so powerful?"

"Otherwise, how could Yuan'er have such a good aptitude?" Chu Minghou said with a smile: "Your grandmother was also a top genius in the martial arts world when she was young."

"Which clan is grandma from?" Chu Yi asked curiously.

Chu Minghou said: "It is a secluded sect, not very famous, I think it is called Qingyuan Sect."

"Qingyuan Sect..." Chu Zhiyuan thought about it and realized that he had never heard of this sect.

The sect that produced an imperial concubine is still unknown.

"Does this sect still exist now?" Chu Yi said, "I have never heard of it."

"Of course there are, but they are still not out in the world." Chu Minghou said: "It was originally a secluded sect that did not come out in the world."

"It's really weird, living in seclusion and not coming into the world." Chu Yi didn't understand.

Chu Minghou said: "I don't want to be involved in grudges and hatreds in the world, so I just practice in silence. This is also a kind of great freedom and ease."

Chu Yi was puzzled: "Isn't the purpose of cultivation to become famous? Isn't it to live a better life?"

Chu Ming said: "They pursue different things. They don't want to be famous, but they live a good life. They live in a beautiful place with green mountains and clear waters, with no worries about food and clothing, and they are free and happy. How happy they are."

"It's still not as good as here." Chu Yi shook his head.

Although she didn't like going out, it was because she felt the air was too turbid and not as good as her own Wanqingyuan.

But I also know that living in a prosperous place like Yujing is far more convenient than living in a remote place with high mountains and deep waters.

"Alright." Bai Ningshuang waved her hand and said, "Why are you talking about this? Let's talk about the queen's illness."

Chu Minghou asked, "What did the imperial physician say?"

"Just talk about conditioning, slowly adjusting and don't rush. Humph, it hasn't gotten better." Bai Ningshuang snorted, "I've figured out these imperial doctors, they're just fooling around. They're dragging their feet on this kind of non-fatal illness and refusing to change the prescription and take responsibility."

Chu Minghou frowned.

Bai Ningshuang snorted, "These guys are greedy for life and afraid of death. They are afraid that if the prescription is changed, they will be held responsible if something goes wrong, which will make the queen suffer." Chu Minghou sighed, "There is nothing we can do."

Chu Yi was puzzled: "Mom, doesn't Tianbaosi have a panacea? Can't it cure a cough?"

Bai Ningshuang said, "The queen was possessed by the devil and was saved by a magic pill. It seems to be a first-grade magic pill. Other magic pills are no longer effective."

"If it's that easy, how could it be difficult for these imperial doctors?" Chu Minghou shook his head and said, "After so many years, it would have been a long time since it could be cured."

Chu Zhiyuan listened in silence.

He thought of his many elixirs and the many skills he had practiced.

If Concubine Rou’s injury was really so easy to cure, the Emperor would have cured it long ago. If I can do it, the Emperor should be able to do it too.

But we can't do nothing, we have to think of a solution.

"Alas..." Bai Ningshuang sighed, "Seeing the queen suffer so much, I feel uncomfortable too."

"Your Highness, can't you practice now?"

“There’s no way to practice.”

"Mom, let me see grandma." Chu Zhiyuan finally decided to give it a try.

"You——?" Bai Ningshuang asked curiously, "You want to find a way to cure the queen?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I am afraid I can't do anything about the disease that my grandfather couldn't cure, but I always feel uneasy if I don't fulfill my filial piety."

"Okay." Bai Ningshuang smiled and said, "You should have met the Empress a long time ago."

She had great confidence in Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Minghou looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Yi said excitedly: "Brother, are you finally going to take action? Hey, brother, you should have taken action a long time ago!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Not sure at all."

He had already estimated the location of the Imperial Palace and Houtu Hall, and finally said, "Let grandma go to my newly bought house."

"...Okay." Bai Ningshuang thought for a moment and nodded.

Women in the imperial palace were not allowed to leave the palace at will.

But it doesn't mean that you can't leave the palace at all. As long as you have enough reasons, you can still leave.

It is not difficult to come out in the name of curing a disease.

-

Chu Zhiyuan sat on the couch in the new house, looking at the two small swords in the Tianchi Lake.

As they were nurtured, the two small swords were growing bigger and sharper.

He felt that the power of these two swords had the potential to catch up with the Heart-Searching Sword Technique, but this would require sufficient time.

It is still far from enough now.

He went to visit Chu Zhiting first.

Chu Zhiting already knew that he had dealt with the evil sect disciples in the inner city and felt greatly relieved.

But he was also angry at the monsters who escaped. He failed to kill them and felt that something was missing.

Chu Zhiyuan said there was no need to worry.

The two Grand Masters from the Grand Master's Mansion went personally to hunt them down, and those guys couldn't escape.

……

Footsteps sounded.

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, got up from the bed, and walked out of the yard.

Then a purple velvet sedan stopped at the door, and two beautiful middle-aged maids helped a veiled woman in white out of the sedan.

Huang Cheng stood beside the sedan, slightly bowed and motionless.

Apart from this, there were no other guards and the trip was extremely light.

Bai Ningshuang followed beside her, dressed in a palace dress that made her look like a fairy concubine, but she still couldn't suppress the grace of the veiled woman.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward to greet her and called her grandmother.

The woman, who only showed her bright eyes, chuckled and looked at Chu Zhiyuan, and chuckled: "You have really grown up."
