Mud on the Crotch

"Congratulations to the host for being mocked by Emperor Zhu Zhenwu of the Jiu Zhao Nation for the first time in your life. You have obtained 8,000 breakthrough points…"

"Congratulations to the host for being cared for by Emperor Zhu Zhenwu of the Nine Zhao Nation for the first time in your life. You have obtained 3,000 breakthrough points…"

… .

Zhu Wuyang, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by a nightmare again. However, this time, it was not the Zhu Zhenwu in the nightmare, but the real Zhu Zhenwu.

Was this guy crazy? Why did he mock him for no reason? After mocking him, he still cared about him. Most importantly, he brought him so many breakthrough points. He was clearly urging him to die early.

Zhu Wuyang sat up with an ugly expression. As he endured the impact of another wave of strange force, he had a faint guess in his heart. If nothing unexpected happened, the news of his "self-immolation" should have reached Zhu Zhenwu's ears. That was why Zhu Zhenwu's notification suddenly came in the middle of the night.

If he had known that burning a bed would cause such a huge commotion, Zhu Wuyang would definitely not have done so. However, who was more imaginative, the palace maids or the guards?

Zhu Wuyang had clearly only burned a bed. How did it develop to the point of self-immolation?

I'm not stupid. How could I not understand the principle of living a better life than to die a good death? How could I commit suicide so easily?

However, when he thought of the previous owner of the body's personality, Zhu Wuyang couldn't help but sigh. He had fallen into another storm of breakthroughs, and his strength was increasing at an astonishing speed.

As expected of the Emperor of a country. He could bring about so many breakthrough points just by mocking him from afar and caring about him. It was simply a sin.

Zhu Wuyang did not sleep well that night, so after eating the next morning and enduring dozens of waves of bombardment from the breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang lay in bed to catch up on his sleep.

After a night of bitter cultivation, coupled with the fact that Zhu Wuyang was indeed talented, the Azure Dragon Concealment Art had also improved. Zhu Wuyang could already instinctively circulate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art when he was sleeping. No one would be able to easily detect his true strength.

"Huhuhu…"

Zhu Wuyang fell asleep. At this moment, Zhu Jinzong walked into the Crown Prince Palace with a group of eunuchs.

"Greetings, Lord Official!"

"This servant greets Lord Inner Palace Official!"

"I wish Lord Official well!"

… .

When they saw that the inner court official, Zhu Jinzong, had arrived, the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs in the Crown Prince's Palace bowed and kowtowed.

Even the head eunuch of the Crown Prince Palace, Wei Ancai, hurriedly welcomed him and followed him respectfully.

"What is the Crown Prince doing?" Zhu Jinzong looked at Wei Ancai.

"This…" Wei Ancai hesitated for a moment before replying honestly," After breakfast, the Crown Prince rested again."

"He's still resting at this time?" Zhu Jinzong frowned.

Wei Ancai hurriedly said, "Ever since he became the Crown Prince, His Highness has been resting in his bedroom for the past two days. The previous night, he tried to burn himself to death. His Highness's vitality was greatly damaged. When he woke up this morning, he didn't look well, so we asked His Highness to rest well."

"In the end, it's because you lot are not responsible enough that something almost happened to the Crown Prince." Zhu Jinzong snorted coldly, scaring the group of eunuchs, guards, and palace maids to kneel on the ground.

Zhu Jinzong waved his hand. "I'll go take a look at the Crown Prince. You guys wait outside the chamber."

As he spoke, without waiting for Wei Ancai and the others to respond, Zhu Jinzong walked straight to the Crown Prince's chamber. "Your Highness, this old servant, Zhu Jinzong, represents His Majesty to visit Your Highness."

On the profound ice bed in the chamber, Zhu Wuyang's expression changed when he heard the voice outside.

Although he had already known last night that the matter of "self-immolation" had alarmed Zhu Zhenwu, Zhu Wuyang still did not expect that Zhu Zhenwu would send his trusted eunuch, Zhu Jinzong, here early this morning.

According to the original owner's memories, Zhu Jinzong was one of the most trusted eunuchs by Zhu Zhenwu's side. He even controlled the extremely powerful Internal Affairs Bureau and was an Early-stage Xiantian expert.

With Zhu Jinzong's strength, it was very likely that he would discover Zhu Wuyang's true strength. If not for the fact that he had used the two large waves of breakthrough points last night to obtain many usable breakthrough points and raised the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to the Greater Mastery realm, Zhu Jinzong would definitely discover Zhu Wuyang's true strength today.

The Lesser Mastery stage Azure Dragon Concealment Art could not hide from Zhu Jinzong, who was at the Xiantian realm.

However, even though the Azure Dragon Concealment Art had already been raised to the Greater Mastery realm by Zhu Wuyang, he still wasn't sure if he could hide from Zhu Jinzong's detection.

However, in this situation, how could Zhu Wuyang dare to chase Zhu Jinzong out?

After considering for a moment, Zhu Wuyang gritted his teeth. Since things had come to this, there was no way to avoid it. He would just face it head-on. If he died, so be it.

"Commander Zhu, please come in!"

Zhu Jinzong was the eldest son of the inner court official and also a eunuch at the commander level, second only to the chief eunuch. Therefore, Zhu Wuyang called him Commander Zhu.

Hearing Zhu Wuyang's voice, Zhu Jinzong pushed the door open and entered. When he saw Zhu Wuyang sitting up from the bed, he hurriedly walked over and said, "His Highness, the Crown Prince, is unwell. You should lie down. There's no need to get up."

Although he knew that Zhu Wuyang was just a "dying crown prince", Zhu Jinzong's every move was still in accordance with the rules.

Zhu Wuyang did not stand on ceremony. He laid down and covered himself with the blanket. This way, he could better hide his aura. "Thank you for your concern, Commander Zhu. I won't stand on ceremony then."

Fortunately, because of the torment last night, Zhu Wuyang was quite tired. His expression was very ugly, as if he had a serious illness.

Coupled with the matter of his "self-immolation" yesterday, Zhu Jinzong was also certain that Zhu Wuyang's body was unwell. He did not suspect much, nor did he carefully investigate Zhu Wuyang's true strength.

Seeing that Zhu Wuyang was lying down, Zhu Jinzong sighed. "Your Highness, why do you have to do this? His Majesty will take care of any matters no matter what it is. Why don't you take it easy? Fortunately, the heavens protected you, and Your Highness was fine yesterday. Only then did His Majesty heave a sigh of relief and feel at ease. He asked this old servant to come and see Your Highness early this morning."

"Yesterday, this Prince was muddle-headed. Now that I think about it, I regret making Father worry." Zhu Wuyang revealed a look of regret, which happened to be seen by Zhu Jinzong.

Now, even Zhu Zhenwu had misunderstood that he had tried to "immolate himself" yesterday. This was really like getting mud stains on his pants. Even if it wasn't feces, it would still become feces.

Since that was the case, for the sake of his own safety, Zhu Wuyang could only bite the bullet and admit it.

Fortunately, this was clearly more beneficial than harmful to Zhu Wuyang. Zhu Wuyang could still tell this much.
