Huangxiu

Chapter 762 First meeting
After all, this body is just an incarnation, not your true self.

Therefore, people do not take life and death so seriously, and unconsciously develop a detached attitude that does not care about life and death.

Seeing him like this, Fu Zheng said softly, "Your Highness, what if the twelfth princess..."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I won't be buried with you."

Fu Zheng hesitated and said, "It is said that the emperor of the Phoenix Dynasty dotes on the twelfth princess and treats her like the apple of his eye."

“That doesn’t mean I will be buried with him.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

If I really have to be buried with him, I can only find a way to escape and escape.

Fu Zheng said softly: "Then I'll go find someone and find a way to retreat."

Qianji Tower has a wide network of information in Phoenix Imperial City, so they should be able to find a way to quietly leave the city.

If the situation gets bad, Your Highness can immediately leave the imperial city quietly through this road.

Once you leave the imperial city, the world is so big that you can go anywhere and escape from danger.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Don't be anxious, take your time."

"Yes." Fu Zheng nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan drank tea quietly while practicing the Infinite Light Sutra.

The Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of the Sutra of Infinite Light, and he was more efficient in his practice and made faster progress.

At the current rate, I can reach the ninth level in a month.

If it weren’t for this accident, I would have been able to enter the ninth level before getting married.

After the nine turns, it needs to be polished. After the nine turns are perfect and flawless, a flash of inspiration will appear and you will be able to step in.

It is difficult to say when this flash of inspiration will occur. It requires not only understanding, but also accumulation and opportunity.

All three are indispensable.

Footsteps were heard, and Li Yuzhen and Li Yuchun appeared in the courtyard at the same time.

Li Yuzhen stepped forward and said, "My Lord, would you like to see His Highness?"

Chu Zhiyuan's eyes turned in front of her red eyes: "Can we see you now?"

Li Yuzhen looked worried and sad, and sighed softly: "Your Highness just fainted again."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Li Yuzhen said: "Your Highness is rarely awake now, and is mostly unconscious."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Li Yuzhen said: "If Your Highness is anxious to see it, you can see it."

"Then let's take a look." Chu Zhiyuan said.

Li Yuzhen said, "Then Prince Consort, follow me."

She then said to Li Yuchun beside her, "My Lord, this is Li Yuchun, the deputy chief steward of the palace. She has been serving His Highness."

Without waiting for Li Yuchun to speak, he said, "Prince Consort, please."

Li Yuchun gave her a blank look, then bowed to Chu Zhiyuan and said, "My Lord, I am sorry for my rudeness."

She said softly, "I don't have the talent of Sister Zhen, I have no future, and I am short-sighted. My Lord, please don't treat me like that."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand: "No need to do this, let's go."

Li Yuchun was apologizing, feeling that he had neglected him before.

Chu Zhiyuan had already prepared himself mentally before entering Phoenix Imperial City.

Cold eyes and indifference are only the most superficial layer. He has a detached mentality, looks down on others coldly, and is not moved.

Li Yuchun's thoughts were the same as Li Yuzhen's at the beginning. They both felt that he was not worthy of the twelfth princess.

The people of the Phoenix Dynasty originally looked down on the Jade View Dynasty, and the reputation of the Ninth Prince was not good.

No matter how you look at this marriage, the Twelfth Princess is marrying the wrong person.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand: "It's more important to see His Highness."

Li Yuzhen glared at Li Yuchun fiercely and walked out with Chu Zhiyuan.

Fu Zheng was about to follow.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to go over, which made her very anxious.

Li Yuzhen said, "Sister Fu, His Highness is not accepting outside visitors now."

Fu Zheng said helplessly: "Okay then."

Li Yuchun said, "Miss Fu, His Highness is surrounded by several old priests and other people, and he never sees outsiders."

Fu Zheng looked at Chu Zhiyuan eagerly: "Your Highness..."

"Let's talk about it next time. Let's go." Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Yes." Fu Zheng sighed helplessly, looking lost.

Chu Zhiyuan walked away.

After he followed the two women out of the courtyard, he walked eastward, passed through several courtyards, and came to an elegant and quiet courtyard.

There are several strange trees similar to plum trees, with branches as hard as iron and flowers as white as snow.

The refreshing fragrance floats in the courtyard.

Two old men were standing at the foot of the courtyard steps, resting with their eyes closed.

The two old men were short and thin, with white beards and eyebrows, and had a calm expression, as if they were basking in the sun.

Hearing the footsteps, they opened their eyes and their gazes were as bright as lightning.

Chu Zhiyuan only felt a burning sensation on his face.

These two old men are Venerables, and they are the top masters among the Venerables.

Among all the venerables he had met, none was stronger than these two old men.

Li Yuchun smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, Mr. Meng, the Prince Consort has come to see His Highness."

"Prince-in-law?"

The two old men's lightning-fast gazes returned to Chu Zhiyuan's face again and wandered over him.

His eyes became sharp and deep, as if they could see through his internal organs and the depths of his mind.

Chu Zhiyuan faced it calmly and nodded gently: "Greetings, the two priests."

"Your Highness, your Highness has great accomplishments." The square-faced old man on the left said with a smile.

The other round-faced old man looked very amiable, but at this moment he was tense and curled his lips: "What kind of cultivation is this!"

"It's already pretty good," the square-faced old man said, "You can't expect to be the same as Your Highness, right?"

The round-faced old man snorted, "A real man is not as good as his wife in cultivation. How shameful!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and looked towards the main hall: "Your Highness, she is now..."

"Miss Chang is guarding inside." said the square-faced old man.

"Mr. Guo, Mr. Meng, you are being lazy again," Li Yuzhen frowned and said, "Isn't it time to replace Mr. Chang?"

The round-faced old man snorted, "Her Nigui Jue is a miraculous healing skill. We can't do it, so we can only rely on her."

"You are just lazy!" Li Yuzhen snorted.

She acted unreasonably and accused them both of being lazy, causing them to immediately retort in dissatisfaction.

Chu Zhiyuan coughed lightly and said, "Yuzhen."

Li Yuzhen immediately shut up, her expression softened, and she said, "My Lord, do you want to come in?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded. "Please come in, Prince Consort." Li Yuzhen led the way.

The two old men's eyes widened immediately.

Li Yuzhen glanced at them and said, "You are just lazy. You don't need to come in."

"You bad girl!" The two old men glared at her.

Li Yuzhen ignored him and lifted the thick door curtain: "My Lord."

Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the house.

He felt warm in his heart.

Li Yuzhen was thoughtful and spoke up for her husband.

In the final analysis, it’s because your cultivation is not enough.

Otherwise, they will turn hostile or even attack directly, and they will be helpless.

As the ninth prince, he could turn against others at will in Yujing Imperial City, so he had something to rely on.

These reliances are useless in Phoenix Imperial City, and one can only rely on cultivation.

Li Yuchun just kept shaking his head.

My sister is really crazy, she thinks so highly of the prince consort.

The Prince Consort and His Highness are not one and the same, and the Prince Consort's status is not high in the dynasty.

What the future holds will depend on Your Highness.

If His Highness is not satisfied, then he is nothing. If His Highness is satisfied, then he is the real prince consort.

There is really no need for Sister Zhen to respect him so much now.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the room and there was still a screen.

Behind the landscape screen is the main room, where the furniture is simple and elegant.

The west side is the bedroom.

Li Yuzhen led the way and lifted the thick door curtain of the west room again.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the west room.

In addition to two pretty maids standing aside, a beautiful middle-aged woman was sitting quietly beside the bed.

She was wearing a black shirt, her face was solemn, and her bare hand rested on the wrist of the person on the bed.

The wrist is well-proportioned, white and smooth, as if carved from mutton-fat white jade, and seems translucent under the sunlight.

The owner of the wrist was lying motionless on the couch, covered with a quilt, revealing a beautiful face.

She has a straight nose, plump lips, phoenix eyes and thin eyebrows, and she is extremely graceful.

It was the twelfth princess Li Miaotan whom I had met before.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Li Miaotan's aura was mixed, with several auras fighting each other inside his body.

No aura has an absolute advantage.

This caused constant fighting and destruction, which continued to damage her body.

The beautiful middle-aged woman was trying hard to repair her body. Several auras were destroying it, but she was repairing it.

But seeing the destruction is better than repairing it.

If this continues, Li Miaotan's body will eventually collapse, and then it will be too late to save her.

Li Yuzhen said softly, "Mr. Chang."

The beautiful middle-aged woman turned her head and looked over, nodded slightly, her eyes lingering on Chu Zhiyuan's face.

Li Yuzhen said softly, "This is the Prince Consort, who has come to visit Your Highness."

Chang Xihua nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness will not wake up in the short term, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's okay, let me take a look at her injuries... There are so many auras, can't we do anything about them?"

"Each one of them is the breath of a Venerable," Chang Xihua said softly, "There are two ways."

Li Yuzhen sighed.

She already knew both methods, but neither one was possible.

Chang Xihua said: "First, a spiritual master took action and wiped out the aura of these masters."

"Second, stimulate her divine bloodline and greatly strengthen her body, so she won't be afraid of being destroyed by these auras."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The words of the Spiritual Lord..."

"The Spiritual Master is far away in the sky, and cannot be found."

"The dynasty doesn't have a spiritual master guarding it?"

"It is impossible for the Spiritual Lord to stay in the Imperial City, and it is impossible for him to be contacted. The Spiritual Lord is not controlled by anyone."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "What about stimulating the blood of the gods?"

Chang Xihua looked at him.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Me? Can I help her stimulate her bloodline?"

Chang Xihua said: "That depends on your ability, Prince Consort."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "What do I need to do to save her?"

Li Yuzhen hurriedly said, "My Lord, let's wait until His Highness wakes up."

Chang Xihua glanced at her and shook her head.

Li Yuzhen said: "Your Highness still has to make the decision on this matter."

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

He believed that Li Yuzhen would not harm him, so why did he stop Chang Xihua from continuing?
It seems that this method of stimulating blood is not good for me.

Does he have to sacrifice himself to save Li Miaotan?

If this is true, of course I cannot agree to it.

Even if you are in a state of enlightenment, there is no need to sacrifice yourself to save others.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Miaotan and turned his head and asked, "Your Highness, did you promise me to come and see her?"

Li Yuzhen said softly: "Your Highness originally wanted to insist, but now that it has come to this, there is no need to stick to the rules."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "That's how it should be."

The rule of not meeting before marriage is important, but it is extremely pedantic to still adhere to it now.

Li Miaotan follows the rules but is not so pedantic.

"Hmm..." Li Miaotan suddenly let out a soft moan.

Li Yuzhen and Li Yuchun were cheered up.

Chang Xihua looked at her with pity on her face: "Your Highness has not been able to calm down completely. He is in a daze. He must have heard the movement of the Prince Consort."

"Will Your Highness wake up?"

"I will wake up soon." Chang Xihua stood up and said, "My Lord, I will leave first."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Chang."

Chang Xihua let go of Li Miaotan's white wrist, stood up lightly and left gracefully.
