A Noble Needs To Guard Against Loneliness

Seeing that Zhu Wuyang was regretful, Zhu Jinzong was slightly relieved. "It's good that Your Highness the Crown Prince can come to your senses. You're still young, so there will always be some things that you shouldn't consider. Sometimes, it's inevitable that you'll overthink and be easily deceived by others."

"Although His Majesty is a little harsh on the Princes, he's not a muddle-headed person. Those Princes and Princesses who had an accident previously violated the Royal Family's bottom line, which was why they were killed."

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is a loyal person. Your Highness has never formed a party for personal gains, nor has Your Highness behaved arrogantly, so you don't have to worry about His Majesty's punishment."

… .

Zhu Jinzong persuaded, but Zhu Wuyang was already suffocating.

"Congratulations to the host for seeing the Internal Affairs Supervisor for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,000 breakthrough points…"

"Congratulations to the host for being deceived by the Internal Affairs Supervisor for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,000 breakthrough points…"

"Congratulations to the host for seeing through the lies of the Internal Affairs Supervisor for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,200 breakthrough points…"

… .

On one hand, he had to circulate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to conceal his true strength, and on the other hand, he had to withstand the impact of the strange powers. If not for the fact that Zhu Wuyang had already experienced it many times, he would have already been exposed in front of Zhu Jinzong.

After all, Zhu Jinzong was a Xiantian Realm expert. As long as Zhu Wuyang revealed a little of his aura, his true strength would be detected. It could be imagined how difficult it was for Zhu Wuyang to endure at this moment.

Even so, because there were too many breakthrough points that came one after another, there were still faint abnormalities appearing on Zhu Wuyang's body, such as the rise and fall of his muscles, the trembling of his bones, and Zhu Wuyang's slightly distorted face…

Fortunately, Zhu Wuyang had already covered himself with the blanket, so Zhu Jinzong could not see many abnormalities. That was why he could barely hide it.

What Zhu Wuyang did not expect was that when he saw his only exposed red face, Zhu Jinzong thought that Zhu Wuyang had been convinced by him and felt ashamed, so he felt even more at ease.

Zhu Jinzong had never expected that Zhu Wuyang would be able to increase his strength while he was lecturing him. At the same time, he could even circulate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art.

How stupid must he be to do such a thing in front of him, the trusted aide of the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu?

It was precisely because he did not expect this that Zhu Jinzong misunderstood Zhu Wuyang. Hence, he had originally prepared a lot of words to preach, but Zhu Jinzong had reduced them greatly.

"Congratulations to the host for being misunderstood for the second time in your life. You have obtained 800 breakthrough points…"

"Congratulations to the host for being lectured for the first time in your life. You have obtained 500 breakthrough points…"

… .

The waves formed by the breakthrough points were still surging over. Zhu Wuyang was so weak, helpless, and in despair. He could only endure the bombardment of the strange force with difficulty.

Every day felt like a year!

That was all!

Zhu Wuyang felt like he was dancing on the edge of a knife at this moment. He was in danger of capsizing at any moment. Once Zhu Jinzong discovered that something was wrong, his life would definitely be in danger.

Zhu Jinzong's surname was not originally Zhu, but ever since he risked his life to save the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu's life a few years ago, he was bestowed the surname of the country. It could be seen how much Zhu Zhenwu doted on him. Even many Princes and Princesses' statuses in Zhu Zhenwu's heart were far inferior to Zhu Jinzong's.

If Zhu Jinzong found out about Zhu Wuyang's true strength, he would definitely tell Zhu Zhenwu about it. At that time, the jealous Zhu Zhenwu would definitely not let a martial arts genius like Zhu Wuyang live for more than a month.

The distance between life and death was literally inside and outside the blanket.

In order to suppress the waves of strange power, Zhu Wuyang had already used all his strength. Even when he was suckling milk when he was young, he had never used so much strength.

After an unknown period of time, just as Zhu Wuyang found it difficult to breathe and his mind began to become chaotic, Zhu Jinzong's preaching finally came to an end.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? It's fine if your face is pale, but your body seems to be trembling. Do you want this old servant to check on you?" Zhu Jinzong also noticed some abnormalities on Zhu Wuyang's body and hurriedly stopped preaching.

Zhu Wuyang hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine. It's just that I kept having nightmares last night and didn't rest well. I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable."

"I see." Zhu Jinzong raised his eyebrows and sighed inwardly. It was impossible for him not to have nightmares after sitting in this position of certain death.

Therefore, he felt some sympathy for Zhu Wuyang. "In that case, I'll take my leave first. Your Highness, have a good rest. This is a piece of calligraphy that His Majesty specially wrote for Your Highness. Please keep it well."

As he spoke, Zhu Jinzong placed a letter that Zhu Zhenwu had written to Zhu Wuyang on the bedside table before slowly retreating.

"Huff, huff, huff…"

After Zhu Jinzong left the chamber and walked for a distance, Zhu Wuyang finally relaxed and could not help but gasp for breath.

"Congratulations to the host for experiencing shocking pain for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,000 breakthrough points…"

Just from this notification from the Extraordinary Encounters System, one could guess what kind of torture Zhu Wuyang had endured previously. Fortunately, he had successfully survived. Otherwise, he would probably not be able to escape death today.

After relaxing a little, Zhu Wuyang casually opened the letter that Zhu Zhenwu had given him. There was only a line of words on it.

A Noble Needs To Guard Against Loneliness!

"Congratulations to the host for receiving a gift from the Emperor of the Jiu Zhao Nation for the first time in your life. You have received 6,000 breakthrough points…"

"Congratulations to the host for being warned by the Emperor of the Jiu Zhao Nation for the first time in your life. You have obtained 6,000 breakthrough points…"

The so-called 'A Noble Needs To Guard Against Loneliness' should actually be read in reverse. He was clearly reminding Zhu Wuyang that after becoming the Crown Prince, he would definitely be a loner in the future and not collude with ministers, make connections, and manage forces…

However, with Zhu Zhenwu's status, how could he say such words directly? Hence, he advised against it. If someone really foolishly followed the instructions, they would not be far from death.

Zhu Wuyang could still tell the profundities in Zhu Zhenwu's words.

"Congratulations to the host for understanding Emperor Jiu Zhao's gift for the first time in your life. You have obtained 10,000 breakthrough points…"
