Imperial Cultivation

After she stood up, her curvaceous figure immediately became light and graceful.

As she walked, the gold and silver threads in the flowing cloud brocade reflected each other, exuding nobility, coupled with the gentle swaying of the golden hairpins on her temples, making her look like a celestial fairy.

The old eunuch with white hair and a youthful face followed her gently, whispering, "Your Majesty, do you need the guards to accompany you?"

Consort Hui snorted, "With me and my junior sister here, who would dare to cause trouble?"

"Yes, then we'll bring fewer Imperial Guards," the old eunuch bowed.

He waved his hand, and a young eunuch tiptoed over.

The old eunuch whispered a few instructions, and the young eunuch nodded repeatedly before quickly stepping out.

Qin Ruolan said, "Senior Sister, you should be guarding the Ninth Prince's residence."

"Little Seventeen and Little Eighteen are guarding there," Consort Hui said nonchalantly, "If I were there, he wouldn't be happy even if he woke up; instead, it would annoy him."

"People's words are fearsome," Qin Ruolan shook her head, "The relationship between you and your son is indeed troublesome."

She understood why the Ninth Prince was not close to his adoptive mother.

There was an unresolved knot between this mother and son, which was the Ninth Prince's deceased biological mother.

There had always been a rumor that she was harmed by her senior sister.

And the Ninth Prince obviously believed this rumor, always treating his senior sister as an enemy.

He felt that all of his senior sister's concern was for show, for the Emperor's sake, to clear her own name.

Or it was out of guilt and a compensatory mentality, not genuine concern for himself.

Even if she cared about him, he could never forgive her, otherwise, it would be a betrayal of his biological mother.

He was three years old at the time and already had some memories; he obviously had deep memories of his biological mother and couldn't forget her.

This had to be said that the Ninth Prince was not as foolish as he appeared.

For ordinary children, memories from the age of three are quickly suppressed to the bottom layer and are difficult to remember clearly.

Consort Hui snorted, "This trouble will soon no longer be trouble, but in the future, I will feel guilty towards Sister Mo."

Qin Ruolan said, "Actually, Senior Sister, you have already done your best, and you have done well enough, worthy of Consort Mo."

"That's true," Consort Hui nodded slightly, "That stupid fellow!"

She kept walking, left the inner palace, and headed forward, bypassing several halls in front to arrive at the palace gate.

Two young eunuchs were waiting there, offering a veiled hat.

Consort Hui directly put it on her head, and the white veil hung down, blocking her lotus-like face.

Chu Zhiyuan had been shrinking his spirit, with a sensory range of only ten meters, to avoid being discovered.

He had already felt an invisible force sweep over him, had already discovered him, but did not stop.

It seemed that he hadn't noticed himself.

However, he didn't dare to relax because of this, always keeping his heartstrings tight and carefully restraining his spirit.

Outside the palace gate, a large purple nylium sedan chair was already waiting, adorned with various exquisite patterns and decorations, showing its magnificence.

The luxurious sedan chair had four bearers, dressed in brocade clothes.

Eight men in golden armor stood on both sides, with two people surrounding the sedan chair in front, behind, left, and right, protecting it in the middle.

"Junior Sister, and three junior nephews, get on the sedan chair."

Consort Hui took Qin Ruolan's hand and invited Xiao Ruoling and the others to get on the sedan chair together.

The middle-aged woman in green, Consort Hui's two palace maids, the old eunuch with white hair and a youthful face, and a young eunuch remained outside the sedan chair.

After the sedan chair was lifted, the large sedan chair had no sense of bumps and glided forward with extraordinary balance.

The golden-armored guards cleared the crowd in front, behind, left, and right, and soon arrived at a mansion five hundred meters away.

A young eunuch went forward to knock on the door before the sedan chair stopped.

Soon, the mansion gate opened wide, the sedan chair entered, and after stopping, the five women got off the sedan chair.

The sedan chair stopped in the backyard of the mansion. Under Consort Hui's lead, they entered a courtyard.

From afar, they smelled a strange fragrance, as well as a strong medicinal scent.

After Chu Zhiyuan left the palace, he immediately felt relaxed and light as a feather.

The sensory range of his ultra-sense expanded rapidly to a hundred meters, and the situation inside and outside the courtyard was clear at a glance.

Outside the steps of the main hall in the courtyard, a group of people stood.

More than a dozen maids and guards in plain clothes were waiting outside the door, ready to listen to the instructions inside at any time.

Their expressions were solemn and numb, revealing a sense of fear.

Outside and inside the small pavilion next to the flowerbed not far away, a group of men gathered in groups of three or two.

Some were wearing court robes, some were wearing purple robes, and some were wearing golden armor, each silent and serious, not speaking to each other.

The courtyard was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

Chu Zhiyuan also sensed that through the main hall was a bedroom.

Two flower-like young girls wearing flowing cloud brocade silk robes were sitting on embroidered stools, shoulder to shoulder, staring at the young man lying supine on the bed.

The young man had sword-like eyebrows and a straight nose, and his appearance was handsome and compelling, but his face was covered with a layer of powder, sallow and dull.

His breathing was sometimes rapid and sometimes slow.

A burst of urgency and a burst of slowness, constantly changing, giving people a feeling that he would stop breathing at any time.

"Sister, when will Big Brother wake up?" a girl asked嬌声, "He's been sleeping for so long."

Another girl said softly, "He will wake up soon, see us, and smile at us."

The two girls were beautiful and pure, and their appearances were similar, like twin lotus flowers.

"But I heard them say that Big Brother won't wake up."

"Don't listen to their nonsense, Big Brother will wake up soon!"

"Sister, but you've said it several times, and Big Brother hasn't woken up!"

"This time it's real!"

Consort Hui waved her hand.

The old eunuch with white hair and a youthful face stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door. Consort Hui stepped into the courtyard, her gaze penetrating the veiled gauze, coldly sweeping over the crowd next to the flowerbed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Consort."

They clasped their fists and saluted.

Consort Hui ignored them, took Qin Ruolan's hand and walked straight inside, all the way into the main hall and into the bedroom.

The two girls got up in unison.

Consort Hui said, "How is it?"

The two girls shook their heads sadly, their watery eyes turning red, about to shed tears.

Consort Hui said unhappily, "Don't cry! Haven't you met your aunt yet?"

"Auntie, you're here," the two girls squeezed out a smile at Qin Ruolan.

Qin Ruolan patted their fragrant shoulders, came forward, and looked at the young man on the couch.

She reached out and pressed her hand on his shoulder, closing her bright eyes.

After a moment, she retracted her jade hand, her face as calm as usual, without any abnormality.

Consort Hui said, "Is there a way?"

Qin Ruolan shook her head slightly.

"There's no way at all?"

"It's entirely supported by the qi of the Great Bright Heart-Protecting Pill," Qin Ruolan said, "Even if the Spiritual Lord came in person, I'm afraid there would be no way to save him."

This body was destroyed by the power of the Spiritual Lord; otherwise, the Great Bright Heart-Protecting Pill could have saved him.

What is destroyed by the power of the Spiritual Lord cannot be repaired even with the power of the Spiritual Lord.

"Auntie!" The two girls glared at her dissatisfied.

Qin Ruolan said, "The meridians are completely destroyed, and the vitality of the internal organs is cut off. It is only supported by the pill qi, but the pill qi of the Great Bright Heart-Protecting Pill is limited. When the pill qi is exhausted, it will be the time of his death."

"Auntie, doesn't the Profound Yin Palace have any rare treasures that can save Big Brother?"

"Even if there is, it is not as good as the Great Bright Heart-Protecting Pill," Qin Ruolan shook her head, "Human power is sometimes exhausted, and everyone has their own destiny."

Xiao Ruoling suddenly heard Chu Zhiyuan's voice in her ear: "Ruoling, I want to reincarnate in his body."

Xiao Ruoling was startled, her face changed slightly.

She didn't think this was a good idea.

But the long-term formation of cognition made her extremely trust Chu Zhiyuan.

She felt that he couldn't see the endless troubles in this.

"Ruoling, this is just my incarnation, and it is not a pity to give it up. Don't worry so much; the imperial secret method is the most important thing."
