Life-threatening? Chu Ci was injured? So seriously? That shouldn't be the case! But now that we're back at Tianji Pavilion, nothing should happen, right?

The dean sighed, turned around and left. It seemed that he should consult Prince Rui to find out more about this matter.

The dean did not return to his own courtyard, but went directly to the palace.

The dean, who had not slept all night, looked very tired. When he arrived at the palace, the emperor was still very worried when he saw him like this, after all, he was old.

The emperor asked the dean to sit aside and was very polite.

As soon as the dean entered the palace, Prince Rui received the news and rushed over on horseback.

Before the dean had finished his cup of tea, Prince Rui appeared in front of him, panting heavily and asking, "Dean, what's wrong?"

The dean saw his anxious look and thought that he shouldn't hurt the young man. "I went to the Tianji Pavilion, but the entire Tianji Pavilion was sealed by Elder Tianji. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

Prince Rui looked at the dean in confusion. "Closed?" It shouldn't be that way, with so many people coming in and out and so much going on.

"I don't understand what the dean means."

The dean sighed, "Then I'll ask directly." The dean looked at Prince Rui with a sharp, accusing look. "As far as I know, the little girl went to the battlefield with him, and when she returned, she was taken directly back to Tianji Pavilion by Elder Tianji. What happened to her in the meantime?"

"It is said that his life is in danger now!"

Prince Rui's face turned pale instantly. This was all his fault.

Prince Rui couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the chair, slapping himself hard in the face. An obvious handprint appeared on his face.

"This is all my fault."

The emperor and the dean both looked at him and stopped talking.

Prince Rui suddenly stood up and walked in front of the dean, standing still like a child who had made a mistake. "Dean, can you tell me the entrance to the Tianji Pavilion? I want to see it, even if it's just from a distance."

The dean was originally not optimistic about Prince Rui. Old man Tianji was very protective of his son. He knew that the only reason Prince Rui could live until now was that his condition was serious and he couldn't do without him, otherwise he would have come to settle the score long ago.

God helps him, but he can't stop people from feeding meat to that old man's mouth. Isn't this courting death?

The dean glanced at the emperor. The emperor also knew the old man Tianji's temper, but he knew his son's temper better. In this matter, it was the father and son who were sorry for Zhao Yang. He could only nod and leave everything to God's will.

The emperor nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the emperor had nodded, the dean could only silently write down the address and show it to Prince Rui. He also did not forget to give a loud instruction, "This address is only known to you. It is a secret. Do not tell anyone else."

"Also, that place needs someone to come out to meet you. You can't get in. Don't even think about breaking in. It's impossible."

Prince Rui nodded. He took the note, glanced at the address on it, and left immediately.

When he reached the edge of the cliff, Prince Rui looked at the abyss with mixed feelings. Thinking that his beloved woman was in there, but he couldn't even see her, he felt powerless.

Prince Rui stood at the edge of the cliff and shouted to the people inside who were dizzy with internal force, "I am Cang Mo, and I want to see Elder Tianji."

King Rui called out again, but it was still very quiet. Even the birds in the trees didn't respond.

Prince Rui frowned and called out again, "I am Prince Rui, and I seek an audience with the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion."

Elder Tianji and the eldest senior brother were giving acupuncture to Chu Ci. When they heard King Rui's cry, Elder Tianji simply waved his hand and dispersed King Rui's internal energy.

The eldest brother was not so calm. He put down the silver needle in his hand and was about to fly outside.

Old man Tianji quickly stopped him.

The eldest brother shook off the old man Tianji's hand and said, "Master, I want to kill him. Why are you stopping me?"

Elder Tianji knocked the eldest brother hard on the head and said, "Alright, acupuncture is more important now. Besides, the girl didn't end up being ruined by him."

"But, Master, he was the one who hurt the little girl. If it weren't for him, would the little girl be so weak?"

The eldest brother doesn’t understand the master. It’s clearly King Rui’s fault, so why should the master protect him?

Elder Tianji sighed, finished inserting the silver needles, and stood by the window with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. "In the final analysis, this isn't entirely Prince Rui's fault. He has no other choice. With the entire country, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, pressure from the people, and the Emperor's coercion, he has no choice."

"I believe that if he was the one injured, this matter would have been resolved long ago!"

"He just didn't expect the girl's body to be so weak. Oh, what a sin! After all, no one forced her to do anything. She did all this voluntarily."

The eldest brother still didn't want to let him go, but he didn't go out to cause trouble for King Rui.

When King Rui shouted a second time, he heard the voice quickly fade away. He knew he had not found the wrong place, and he felt relieved.

He walked to the side, sat on the ground and began to meditate.

Lin Feng sat aside and wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Yunsheng.

At dinner time, Lin Feng packed up a lot of dishes, but King Rui didn't eat any of them. He just stared at the bottom of the cliff in a daze.

He was holding a large jar of wine in his hand, and soon the jar was empty.

Prince Rui sat here for three days and three nights, drinking countless jars of wine, but he did not see a single person from the Tianji Pavilion, not even a single word.

Even so, King Rui did not give up. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would come here with his family. He was not afraid of the severe cold or the scorching heat. As long as he had no important work to do, this was his only place to rest.

Even when he returned to the palace, Prince Rui lived in Chu Ci's courtyard, and the palace was used by Prince Rui as an office.

This sitting lasted for four years.

Four years later, Chu Ci slowly woke up while lying in bed.

She looked at the familiar surroundings and a smile appeared on her face.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Chu Ci wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, this was the only sound he could make.

She tried to get up, but her limbs seemed to be out of control, like they were beyond her control.

Chu Ci sensed something was wrong. What was wrong with her? Was she paralyzed? Why was she lying in bed? What had happened?

When Chu Ci thought about it, he felt a buzzing sound in his head and it hurt.

The eldest brother outside the door was drying medicinal herbs for Chu Ci. Many of his herbs were freshly picked and not available on the market.

The eldest brother who was drying medicinal herbs heard what seemed to be a sound in the house, and quickly shook his head. It had been four years, and he was hallucinating again.

"Master, your herbs fell!"
