Therefore, Zhuming hurried back to the imperial capital without stopping.
On the way back to the imperial capital, Zhuming kept taking ninth-grade Gathering Spirit pills out of his storage ring for Crown Prince Shengyu to take. This was an extremely precious pill that could rapidly recover internal Qi and injuries. Under Zhuming's careful tending, the crown prince's injuries were finally alleviated, and his complexion gradually regained its rudeness.
By the time the two of them returned to the imperial capital, it was already the night of the following day. Cradling the dying Crown Prince Shengyu with utmost care, Zhuming hurried to the gates of the Empress's palace within the imperial grounds. The palace stood tall and majestic, brightly lit, yet the atmosphere was unusually heavy. Looking down at the crown prince in his arms, Zhuming felt filled with worry and guilt. He knew that this risky venture had been the crown prince's own decision in order to awaken his bloodline, but he never expected it to exact such a harrowing price.
