At noon, he noticed something strange outside, so he left the west hall of Mingwu Hall and came to the yard next to the martial arts training ground.

This courtyard is a small martial arts training ground.

The personal eunuch Zou Fang and the other eunuchs of the eldest son and prince are all waiting here. Most of them are practicing and practicing continuously.

Zou Fang stopped her fist fight, floated up to Chu Zhiyuan without touching her feet, cupped her fists and said softly: "Sir, there is a post."

He took one out of his sleeve.

The cover is blue, with a white cloud floating in the upper left corner, against the blue sky, and the style is simple and elegant.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and smacked his lips.

Zou Fang opened the post and showed it to him: "Manager Feng handed this post outside the palace gate."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the invitation.

"At the moment of You hour, the crown prince is waiting for you on the third floor of Liuyun Tower. The Prince of Zhenwu, Jiang Qiuge, comes to pay his respects."

Jiang Qiuge's movements were quite fast.

"That's all for today's training. Let's go back early."

He signaled to Zou Fang to accept the invitation and turned back to the martial arts training ground.

Under the noon sun, Chu Zhichuan was the only one wielding his sword in the empty martial arts training ground of Mingwu Hall. The power of the sword was dense, and the light of the sword was light and soft like a waterfall.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his voice and said, "Tenth brother, let's go."

"Fourth brother, let's go first." Chu Zhichuan responded and kept moving his sword.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

This Chu Zhichuan is really competitive. He works so hard because he wants to defeat himself in the next competition.

When he arrived at Nangong Gate, Feng Xi and Guo Chi were already waiting with eight innate masters.

Chu Zhiyuan asked as he walked: "What's going on over there?"

"The masters of the Zhenwu Division have taken over and dispatched four masters."

Chu Zhiyuan returned to the palace surrounded by everyone.

No one followed me along the way.

Not only was the Zhenwu Division withdrawn, but the other group of followers also disappeared. It was completely quiet, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The two groups of stalkers shrouded his mind like two dark clouds, making him alert and depressed, always feeling threatened and uneasy.

It also kept reminding him of his weakness.

This taste is extremely unpleasant.

——

The sound of the piano floats on the misty lake.

In the Yaoyue Pavilion, two beautiful maids dressed in white as snow were playing the piano.

Their bright eyes were as bright as water, and their full eyes frequently glanced at Chu Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the Arhat bed opposite. Their smiles were as bright as flowers, and their faces were radiant.

The artistic conception of the sound of the piano is high, spacious and quiet, with a wonderful feeling of pure heart and tranquility.

The fragrance of the two women floated in the small pavilion, making it even more charming.

Zou Fang stood at the entrance of the small pavilion as usual, holding a white jade whisk and motionless, as easy to ignore as a piece of wood.

Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on the Arhat's bed and measured a long sword like autumn water. He held the sword secret in his left hand and slid it against the sword's body.

The cold light reflected from the sword reflected on his sharp eyebrows.

He concentrated on drilling into the sword.

If it were an ordinary sword, he could clearly see everything inside the sword down to every particle with such concentration.

But there was a layer of invisible power within this sword that blocked his senses.

Finally, he shook his head helplessly.

In the acquired state, the inner Qi cannot be released outside, it can only circulate in one's own body. Otherwise, if the inner Qi is pushed into the sword, the super sense will follow and you can see clearly.

If one does not enter the Xiantian and cannot release his inner energy, he is not considered a true warrior.

He disappeared on the Arhat's bed and appeared in front of the railing of the small pavilion. He stabbed the sword into the night sky more than a dozen times before sheathing it and stood up on the dragon-subduing stake.

When the two women saw him like this, the sound of the piano became calm and leisurely to avoid disturbing him with sudden ups and downs.

When he was getting better, he suddenly opened his eyes and turned around to look.

Chu Minghou's slim and slender figure appeared in the corridor on the lake.

The gray robe is fluttering, the beard is waving under the chin, and the steps are slow, giving off an air of immortality.

Chu Zhiyuan collected the Dragon Subduing Stake and welcomed him out of the small pavilion: "Father, King."

"Yuan'er." Chu Minghou smiled and stepped into the small pavilion.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Two maids in white clothes stood up and bowed.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

They exited the small pavilion lightly and wandered away.

"Father, Master Li Moqing didn't come today?"

"Mr. Mo Qing is coming over this afternoon, Yuan'er, my father wants to discuss something with you."

"Father's command is all."

"Ten days later is an important day."

Chu Zhiyuan was confused.

The birthdays of the family of four quickly went through their minds, but none of them mattered. What important day was that?

He turned to look at Zou Fang.

Zou Fang shook his head gently.

Chu Minghou said: "Your second uncle's birthday is coming soon."

Chu Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly.

Chu Minghou sighed, raised his eyes to look at the misty lake, and sighed: "Our palace has been unblocked, but your second uncle is still trapped inside."

"Father, be careful what you say." Chu Zhiyuan said hurriedly.

He glanced around.

The reason why I like to be on this lake is because I don’t have to worry about ambushes or the walls have ears.

Chu Minghou shook his head melancholy: "Can't we even mention it now?"

"Father..." Chu Zhiyuan said helplessly: "We have just lifted the ban, so we need to be careful with our words and deeds, so as not to make the emperor's grandfather feel that he has no regrets."

"..."

Chu Minghou fell silent, and the melancholy on his face became more intense. After a while, he sighed: "The relationship between father and son is so bad, alas..."

"Father, why was the second uncle imprisoned?"

The confinement of the second prince Chu Mingren was extremely abrupt. The imperial edict was issued suddenly without any explanation of the reason.

There are many rumors in the market, and the most accepted version is that the second prince violated a palace taboo and had an affair with a certain harem, and was discovered by the emperor.

Chu Minghou frowned.

"Father, you don't know either?"

"Not sure."

"..." Chu Zhiyuan was speechless.

I don’t know why, but you still beg for mercy rashly?

The second uncle was wise and martial, with a paternal demeanor. He was the most likely to inherit the throne. He and the emperor were also like father and son, so the sudden order to imprison him was definitely not a big mistake.

If you ask for mercy without knowing anything, you are not asking for trouble.

"When I was twelve years old, I was participating in a hunt, and a demon leopard suddenly broke out. If your second uncle had not tried his best to block me, there would have been no brother and sister. Your second uncle was seriously injured and almost died."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Over the years, no one in the palace has ever mentioned the second prince, and everyone in the palace is taboo about this name.

"After so many years, your imperial grandfather's anger should have been almost gone. Since we can release the confinement in our palace, maybe your second uncle's confinement will be released soon."

"Father, it's different." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

To put it bluntly, Prince Qing's Mansion was sealed because he was angered by his recklessness. After all, there was nothing wrong with him other than that.

Even so, it was sealed for thirty years, which shows how angry the emperor was.

I'm afraid he won't calm down and will be kept in captivity forever.

"When our palace was sealed, we couldn't visit your second uncle. Now that we have lifted the lockdown, it's time to visit him."

"Father, think twice!" Chu Zhiyuan looked serious.

"Your mother also advised me, and it's not like I didn't listen to her advice. I won't go there in person, so as not to really anger my father. You can go visit your second uncle on my behalf."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Father, the current situation in our palace is to be on the safe side. It is not appropriate to take any more risks, otherwise..."

It is not appropriate to take any action before he knows what King Jing has committed and is imprisoned. After all, he has been imprisoned for thirty years because of this, and no one will say anything.

From the emperor's point of view, the matter of visiting King Jing was seen as friendship, but on the other hand, it was provocation.

"In normal years, if you don't go, you won't go. In a few days, it will be your second uncle's 60th birthday, his 60th birthday, and it will be lonely and lonely. It's really..." Chu Minghou shook his head and sighed: "I really don't want to. Fallen."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If we visit our second uncle, we will be sealed off again or even imprisoned. Do you want to give it a try?"

My father is good at everything, but he is too kind and affectionate.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

"It won't be a problem if we seal the mansion again." Chu Minghou shook his head: "You are a junior. It is natural to visit the elders. There is no sin. What's more, you are different now."

He smiled.

The reason why I dare to mention this is because I have confidence.

My father valued martial arts above all else, so he would definitely be more favorable and tolerant towards his grandson with astonishing martial arts aptitude.

Even if he is dissatisfied, he will not punish his grandson as severely as before.

"I know that my father will feel guilty and uneasy if he doesn't visit his second uncle, and he won't be able to eat well and sleep well. But if my father thinks clearly, he will let the whole family risk the danger of sealing the house or even being imprisoned in order to show the love of all brothers. Or should we accept the guilt and take full responsibility of the father, son and husband and wife?"
