Chapter 45 - 45: 45 Chen Wanrong: I Will Plant a Love Worm in Hirn i

However, he had only heard about it before and had never seen it.

The rumors claimed that the Great Returning Pill could bring someone back from the dead and fully restore one’s skill.

Although the rumors may be exaggerated, there was no doubt it could restore one’s skill, and the Imperial Palace indeed had such pills.

Mu Changtian looked at the three small porcelain bottles in Zhao Hong’s hand with disbelief.

After a moment of silence, he sneered and said, “It seems some people can’t wait anymore, we haven’t even left the Capital city yet they plan to make their move on me.”

At such a time, how could anyone come to rescue them, and even bring them a miraculous elixir like the Great Returning Pill?

Apparently, someone was planning to act against them in advance, to poison him to death with a toxicant.

What nonsense about the Great Returning Pill!

Clearly, it was poison.

Mu Changtian then said, “Speak, who sent you?”

“If it’s Lu Xingqiu, ha, I’d rather die on the road than take the poison he gives!”

Seeing that Mu Changtian seemed to have misunderstood his intent, Zhao Hong said with a smile, “Duke Mu, you have misunderstood. Those who want you dead wouldn’t let you die in Heaven Prison.”

“The Great Returning Pills in my possession are indeed real, and as for which Prince gave them to you, you will soon find out. If you want to see your daughter again, it’s best to take the Great Returning Pill immediately and regain all your strength before you’re exiled.”

If Zhao Hong now said that the Great Returning Pill was from the North Prince, Mu Changtian would probably be even more distrustful, given that the North Prince’s image as a good-for-nothing had deeply imprinted in people’s hearts.

Hearing Zhao Hong mention his daughter, Mu Changtian was startled for a moment.

At this time, Mu Jingwu from the neighboring cell said, “Father, give it to me, I’ll take it first. Even if it’s poison, 1 accept my fate; we won’t live many days anyway.”

Mu Changtian looked again at the small porcelain bottles in Zhao Hong’s hand, pondered for a moment, and finally snatched the bottles from Zhao Hong. He opened one and threw the pill inside into his mouth.

Just when Mu Changtian was ready to meet death, he found his inner strength starting to recover, and he felt an incredible sense of comfort flooding his body.

Soon, he felt his skill returning. Although it had not fully recovered, he now possessed the strength of a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.

Mu Changtian looked at the remaining two small porcelain bottles in his hand with disbelief. Could these actually be the real Great Returning Pills?

How could that be!

Only the Imperial Palace had Great Returning Pills.

Such skill-restoring pills were coveted by Grandmasters, let alone by Great Grandmasters.

One pill was already immensely precious, yet now this prison head actually gave him three!

If people knew that there were three Great Returning Pills in the hands of a commoner, the Capital city would have probably already been in chaos. Such precious pills, could they really have come from a Prince?

Wait a minute…

Mu Changtian seemed to realize something.

The prison head had only mentioned that these pills came from a certain Prince, but he did not say that this Prince was a child of the Sum Emperor.

The Great Xia Dynasty had numerous Princes, and it wasn’t only the current Princes who could be named so; a Seignior might also be possible.

Could it be that a Seignior was planning a rebellion and thus sought to enlist his support?

With this thought, Mu Changtian immediately confirmed his suspicion.

It must be so; otherwise, why would the other party be willing to part with three Great Returning Pills to help him and his two sons regain their skill?

But then again, even if that Prince intended to rebel, he no longer cared.

Lu Xingqiu was just an ungrateful wretch, what did it matter if he rebelled against him!

With this in mind, Mu Changtian immediately said to Zhao Hong, “Thank you, go back and tell your Prince that whatever he wants me to do, 1, Mu Changtian, will oblige.”

Having said that, Mu Changtian tossed the two remaining small porcelain bottles to his sons Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping in the next cell.

After Mu Jingwu and Mu Xingping received the small porcelain bottles, they didn’t say another word and immediately swallowed the pills.

When the two of them felt their skill returning within their bodies, they also revealed a look of disbelief.

This isn’t poison, but the actual Great Returning Pill?

Does this mean our father has also recovered his skill?

If that’s the case, we’d be able to put up some resistance on the way, and not be slaughtered unilaterally by others.

As for whether we can make it to the northwest alive, that’s up to fate.

Zhao Hong said, “Alright, Duke Mu, I will relay your message to the Prince.”

“I won’t disturb you any longer.”

After that, Zhao Hong turned around and left the cell.

Once the cell door was closed again, Mu Xingping immediately asked, “Father, which Prince dares to send us the pili at this time, and it’s even the legendary Great Returning Pill?”

Mu Changtian was silent for a moment before saying, “It seems that a Seignior is getting restless and wants to take advantage of Lu Xingqiu dealing with the Aristocratic Families to unite with them and overthrow Lu Xingqiu.”

The Aristocratic Families already knew that Lu Xingqiu might take action against them, so they wouldn’t just sit and wait for death. The most likely scenario is that they would support a Seignior, then overthrow Lu Xingqiu’s rule and replace him with someone else as the Emperor.

Just as the Aristocratic Families helped Lu Xingqiu ascend to the throne back then.

Hearing Mu Changtian’s words, Mu Jingwu asked from the side, “Father, what should we do then?”

Mu Changtian scoffed and said, “What to do? 1 was the one who helped Lu Xingqiu to the throne back then. Since he has turned his back on me, he can’t blame me for pulling him down!”

Mu Changtian had already decided that if someone truly wanted to rebel against Lu Xingqiu, he would definitely support that person.

Obviously, these three Great Returning Pills were the other party’s gesture of sincerity; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent such precious pills to them.

It’s just that 1 don’t know which Prince it is.

There aren’t many Seigniors in the Great Xia who have the power to rebel. Although the Great Xia gave some Princes a lot of power, Lu Xingqiu liked to meddle in those territories that had potential for growth.

If they couldn’t be controlled, then he would have the Shadow Guard take action in advance to eliminate any potential disasters.

This wasn’t something that Lu Xingqiu had never done; Mu Changtian knew of a Prince who was killed by Lu Xingqiu’s Shadow Guard. After his death, the court even pushed all the blame onto the head official of the Seignior’s territory, accusing him of imprisoning the Seignior with the intent to rebel.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Changtian still couldn’t figure out which Seignior would reach out to him. He had no choice but to let it go; after all, once he got out, he would know who had approached him.

In the meantime.

Mysterious Moon Palace.

Within the chamber of light veils, transcendent in a veil of smoke, a woman dressed in plain white clothes was sitting in front of a zither, earnestly playing the instrument.

The woman had a tall figure and a graceful, enchanting posture. At that moment, a breeze came by, lifting the sheer veil at the door, revealing a glimpse of the woman’s exquisite beauty.

The woman’s beauty was unmatched, flawless like frost and snow, her pale countenance revealing a touch of aloofness. She was like a goddess from the ninth heaven, a fairy descended to earth.

At that moment, a woman dressed in purple Cloud Attire entered the room, exuding a dignified and elegant aura.

The melodious sound of the zither ceased as the woman arrived, and the female zither player spoke, “Madam Lin, is there something you need?”

The woman’s voice was cool but also carried a hint of gentleness.

The dignified woman asked, “Palace Master, do you really plan to go to North City?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wanrong stood up and walked slowly out of the veil-covered chamber; her saintly face came into view of the dignified woman.

Chen Wanrong spoke softly, “Only with the fresh blood of Sum Emperor’s child can the Subtle Dragon Spell be created, and the North Prince is the easiest Prince to approach.”

As she heard this, a worried look appeared on the dignified woman’s face, “But I’ve heard the North Prince is lustful; he keeps many servants in his residence for pleasure-seeking. If he takes a fancy to you…”

The woman left her sentence unfinished.

Gazing emotionlessly at the distant green hills, Chen Wanrong said indifferently, “People are easier to control when they have desires. I will plant the Love Worm in him, then manipulate him to help us complete the Subtle Dragon Spell.”

Hearing this, the dignified woman sighed and then said, “He is Chu Yue’s child; if possible, 1 hope you can spare his life in the end.”

Chen Wanrong offered no response, merely looking silently into the distance as a breeze blew by, swaying her dress continuously..
