Chapter 827: Chapter 823: Jade Marrow

”Your Highness, will the Princess be upset?”

”What would she be upset about?!”

”I guess the young couple is in their honeymoon phase, she must be defending him.”

”She...still thinks she’s clever.”

”The Princess is indeed exceptionally intelligent, no less than Your Highness.”

”She’s far inferior to me, at least I won’t be captivated by a man.”

”...Yes.” The beautiful woman laughed, ”The Ninth Prince is indeed very charming, plus some gentleness, which woman could resist?”

”Alas...”

”Moreover, this one is a true lover, not a heartbreaker.”

”This young lad does know his place.”

The young girl, the legitimate Empress of the Phoenix Dynasty, gently shook her head, sighed, ”Have you not found out what’s wrong with his concubine mother?”

The beautiful woman gently shook her head, ”There’s nothing wrong, very ordinary, might be Emperor Yujing’s heart demon.”

”Alas...the poor thing...” The Empress shook her head, ”Being coldly treated since childhood is rare to not be cynical.”

”Maybe it’s because of that Miss You Lan in the mansion.”

”Hmm, has Miss You Lan already set off?”

”She should arrive tonight, this Prince Consort is indeed thoughtful.”

”Can’t even protect those around him, truly not worthy to be called a man.”

As they spoke, a palace maid approached quietly to report that the Princess and the Prince Consort had entered the palace gates.

The Empress asked, ”Where is Hou’er?”

The beautiful woman replied, ”The Third Prince is in seclusion.”

”That unfilial brat!” The Empress’s face turned cold.

The beautiful woman laughed, ”The Third Prince has reached an important juncture, about to break through the First Transition, which is a happy occasion.”

The Empress snorted, ”He just thinks cultivation is good, doesn’t care about anything else, leaving Tan’er exhausted.”

The beautiful woman said, ”Your Highness, it hasn’t hindered the Princess’s cultivation, that’s enough.”

The Empress shook her head, ”The stubborn stone refuses to nod!”

She was utterly helpless regarding the Third Prince’s stubbornness.

No matter how many times she said it, he was just obsessed with cultivation.

He thinks the most beautiful thing in the world is cultivation, other worldly affairs are just distractions.

After becoming a Venerable, he continued cultivating, believing going through worldly affairs and understanding hearts are not the true path.

He thought that penetrating the true source of martial arts is the real path.

As if the entire world is foolish, and only he understands the essence of martial arts.

It’s utterly baffling.

Another palace maid approached with light steps to report that the Princess and Prince Consort had reached the Duanyi Gate.

”Moving quite fast.” The Empress said.

She got up to get dressed.

”Your Highness, maybe you shouldn’t.” The beautiful woman quickly said, ”The Princess will surely see through it.”

”I’ll send her a message.” The Empress smiled.

The beautiful woman looked helpless.

The Empress said, ”Suzhen, don’t you want to test the Prince Consort’s eyesight?”

”What does it matter if the Prince Consort has good eyesight?”

”It matters, I don’t like fools.”

”...Yes.”

Another palace maid approached lightly to report that the Princess and Prince Consort had reached the Zhao Ming Gate.

”Quickly, help me change clothes.” The Empress said.

The beautiful woman reluctantly helped her change into a palace maid’s attire.

Yet the beautiful woman absolutely refused to wear the Empress’s regular clothes to avoid the sin of overstepping.

”The Princess and Prince Consort have reached the Taihe Gate.”

”The Princess and Prince Consort have reached the An Tai Gate.”

”They are here!” The beautiful woman and the Empress both straightened their expressions.

Chu Zhiyuan and Li Miaotan walked side by side, with a red-robed eunuch leading the way.

Behind them were Li Yuchun, Li Yuzhen, and Fu Zheng. The other guards, like Lu Yuanhao, couldn’t enter the palace.

Chu Zhiyuan hadn’t activated his Super Sense.

This is the Imperial Palace, the place where the world’s greatest experts and treasures gather.

If he activated the Super Sense, it would inevitably trigger a reaction and expose its existence.

Through ordinary eyesight, the high palace walls formed an absolute barrier.

No matter how good the eyesight, it couldn’t penetrate the palace walls to see beyond, so the distance view was blocked.

Layer by layer, the palace walls absolutely isolated probing.

He curiously observed.

The palaces before him were no different from those in the Jade Dynasty.

Similar styles, perfectly blending grandeur with dignity, being in it, involuntarily evoking a sense of reverence.

At the same time, he also felt suppression by an invisible force.

It seemed as if a colorless, invisible glass dome had suddenly enclosed the sky.

Severing his connection with the void’s spiritual energy.

But the surrounding spiritual energy was abundant, trees lush, full of greenery, and vibrant vitality.

This spiritual energy originated from the earth, not the void.

For martial artists, spiritual energy originates from above the void, where there is a vortex of spiritual energy.

In such a spiritually rich place, martial artists found themselves cut off from their source of power.

Unless cultivating special techniques allowing absorption from the surroundings.

However, to Chu Zhiyuan’s curiosity, while he couldn’t absorb spiritual energy, he could still absorb the power of the Sky Dragon.

Above the void, the Sky Dragon’s processed energy still found its way to him, nourishing his body.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”The Empress takes great care, announcing step by step through each gate.”

Li Miaotan lightly knitted her brows and softly said, ”Mother is indeed being slightly too ceremonious.”

”It might be a banquet without good intentions,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Preparing to intimidate me?”

Li Miaotan softly laughed, ”Hard to tell.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, ”I have never offended the Empress, have I?”

”That can’t be said for sure.” Li Miaotan pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

The two chatted and laughed, passing through yet another gate, finally reaching the open rear gardens.

Various trees formed small groves.

Amidst the forest, patches of flowers bloom like brocade.

A faint fragrance wafts gently, refreshing the spirit.

An open lake shrouded by trees, with pavilions and terraces on the water.

The tallest among them is a three-story pavilion, visible from afar at a glance.

Several white cranes alight and soar on the high platform of the pavilion, occasionally taking flight and landing.

A giant golden cauldron gleams brilliantly under the sunlight.

By the jade-railed balustrade of the high platform, a woman is leaning against it and waving at them.

Chu Zhiyuan could see that beautiful woman clearly: ”Is that the Empress?”

Li Miaotan’s bright eyes sparkled, and she chuckled lightly.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head to look over, seeing her expression, he couldn’t help but ask, ”No?”

”Guess.”

”Really not?” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Then who is she?”

Li Miaotan laughed, ”Ning.”

Suddenly Chu Zhiyuan realized.

She was the Empress’s personal maid, otherwise, she wouldn’t be making such gestures.

Li Miaotan smiled sweetly, ”Let’s see if you can find Mother later.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Is this the first test? Testing my eyesight.”

”Indeed,” Li Miaotan laughed.

The two walked along the lakeside on a path winding with greenery and flowers, eventually arriving under the three-story pavilion and climbing the steps all the way to the third layer.

With only three floors, it didn’t seem tall from afar, but amidst it, one could deeply feel its grandeur.

”Ning,” Li Miaotan muttered, ”Mother is truly...”

Ning Suzhen pursed her lips and smiled, ”Let’s see the Prince Consort’s skill.”

Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists and smiled.

Li Miaotan glanced around, ”Father really won’t come?”

Ning Suzhen gently shook her head, ”The Emperor didn’t say he would come. The Empress said, if the Prince Consort can recognize her, she will grant him a treasure.”

”What treasure?” Li Miaotan quickly asked.

Ning Suzhen smiled, ”A treasure from the Yukunlun Palace, Heavenly Heart Jade Marrow.”

Li Miaotan smiled radiantly, ”Mother is quite generous.”

She turned her head towards Chu Zhiyuan, ”It’s better than the Green Nether Spirit Dew!”

Chu Zhiyuan grinned.

A group of Palace Maids came out in succession, filling jade tables with all kinds of fruits and fine wine.

Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze swept across and landed on one of the Palace Maids. He cupped his fists and smiled, ”Greetings, Mother.”

All the Palace Maids around were elegant and lovely, but this one seemed no different from the others.

Yet Chu Zhiyuan recognized her at once.

He relied not on his eyesight, but rather on intuition, a strange instinct.

These Palace Maids did not stop their steps, continuing to back away with the intent to leave.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward to the maid and smiled, ”Mother, is that you?”

Li Miaotan laughed, ”Mother, don’t cheat!”

The maid helplessly rolled her eyes and muttered, ”Favoring outsiders!”

Li Miaotan said, ”How could this simple trick fool him?”

”Who said it wouldn’t?” The maid huffed, ”If you hadn’t said Suzhen wasn’t real, he wouldn’t have recognized me!”

Saying so, she turned around and light-footedly entered the room beside them.

Ning Suzhen followed her in.

A moment later, they came out again, and the Empress had already changed into a light purple gauze garment with gold threads forming strange patterns, like clouds or mist.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, like jade or a rare fungus.

Originally, the surrounding Palace Maids were already elegant and captivating, but she made them pale in comparison.

Wearing this attire, she appeared noble and majestic, like an immortal consort.

”Greetings, Mother.” Chu Zhiyuan respectfully cupped his fists in salute.

The Empress waved her jade hand, ”Alright, from now on we’re family, no need to be so formal.”

”Thank you, Mother,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

The Empress huffed and looked at Ning Suzhen.

Ning Suzhen was already holding a small box, made of White Jade.

She presented it with both hands in front of Chu Zhiyuan, ”Prince Consort, please accept.”

Chu Zhiyuan took it and opened it, finding inside a jade pendant the size of his little finger.

The jade pendant was crystal clear, almost like an ice sculpture.

Empress said, ”It’s only this big, but it’s enough for you to use.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded gently.

He reached out, slowly touching the jade pendant, and immediately felt the coolness against his skin.

This cool sensation rushed directly into his mind, swirling continuously.

Instantly, the world became clearer.

Simultaneously, the bond with the world grew stronger.

Truly, it felt similar to consuming the Green Nether Spirit Dew, perhaps even better.

He couldn’t help but smile, ”A wonderful thing!”

”This is Jade Marrow,” Li Miaotan laughed, ”A secret treasure of the Yukunlun Palace.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Miaotan, ”My lady, you...”

”I don’t use this,” Li Miaotan said.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Li Miaotan stated, ”I consumed a Spiritual Object when I was young, it had this effect already.”

”She consumed Jade Marrow Milk,” the Empress smiled, ”Even more potent than this one.”

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly understood.

He also realized why Li Miaotan had such talent and cultivated so quickly.

Evidently, she had no shortage of such Spiritual Objects and treasures.

”Let’s be seated,” the Empress said, ”Use the treasure later.”

”Father really won’t come?”

”He...” The Empress shook her head, ”Can’t bear to see your husband, worried he might lose his temper.”

”Father can be so...” Li Miaotan muttered.

”He can’t help it,” the Empress said, ”His precious daughter has been taken away, how could he not feel upset!”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Then it’s best not to meet the Emperor.”
