Chapter 513 Prince Shenfeng's Departure
Inside Ziwei Pass.
When Di Chuchen woke up, a cool female voice came from above his head:
"Little Star, you're finally awake."
"You're being too reckless! Why are you taking the Burning Meridian Pill?! Your cultivation has only just been restored; if you keep messing with it like this, are you trying to become a cripple?" Bei Mutong jumped down from the roof beam, opened the pot of medicine that was kept warm, and handed it to Di Chuchen, her tone stern.
“Drink it. This is the prescription your junior brother Xiao left behind before he left. It’s freshly brewed.”
"Thank you." Di Chuchen took the warm medicine, drank it all in one gulp, and then asked, "Why did Zi'an leave?"
Bei Mutong tilted her head: "It seems that your junior sister called her away to rescue a fellow disciple from Jixia Academy."
"You can stay lying down, why are you getting up?"
Bei Mutong had only turned around to put down the bowl when she saw Di Chuchen pulling back the covers to get out of bed, so she quickly came over to stop him.
Emperor Chu Chen: "Master Chu is not here right now. I would like to go to Buzhou Domain."
"You're coming again!" Bei Mutong glared, hands on his hips. "No way! I! This king! Absolutely will not let you go! If you're so capable, beat this king right now! Otherwise, don't even think about it! Just lie there and recover from your injuries!"
"I went to Buzhou Domain for no other reason than to bring back the remains of the Shenfeng soldiers who were stranded back then. Only I know where that location is, and only I can go there."
Di Chuchen softly assured him, "I'm just going to retrieve the remains. I won't do anything else. I can't let them remain asleep in Buzhou Domain forever, unable to even return to their homeland."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Bei Mutong, who also commanded troops in the imperial court, hesitated: "Really... just to retrieve the remains? And come back immediately after retrieving them?"
Di Chuchen nodded: "Mm."
"you promise!"
"I promise."
"Then I'll go with you!"
"This……"
"What, do you have a problem with that?" Bei Mutong glared at the sickly Crown Prince in front of her: "You're so weak now, you'd fall over if you were pushed. I'm afraid you'd collapse halfway into the Buzhou Domain."
Di Chuchen: "...Then aren't you going back to the Haixi Dynasty?"
"As soon as you left the Sea Breeze Dynasty, the remnants of the Nightmare Clan in the shadows really did set their sights on the Sea Breeze Dynasty..."
Bei Mutong waved his hand: "Isn't there still that charlatan? Let him drift on the sea a little longer. Anyway, he's a widower, and he claims he wants to stay home as a widow. Where he stays doesn't matter. My Dragon Palace is huge! There are plenty of houses!"
“…Ahem.” Di Chuchen’s eyes were helpless: “Don’t mention this to Si Shengun, or he’ll get angry with you. He doesn’t think his wife is gone.”
Bei Mutong: "Of course I know that. I'm not that annoying."
Given Si Shenpan's fastidious nature, he could jokingly describe himself as a widower with no one to care for him, love him, or warm his bed, but he would definitely explode if anyone else mentioned it.
"Come on, come on, Elder Chu has gone to handle some of the urgent matters for you. Now is the perfect time to run away." Bei Mutong was quite experienced in running away from home while hiding from her elders.
Di Chuchen: "I'll leave a message for Chu Gongfeng first, so he won't worry."
Chu Gongfeng is from Di Chuchen's maternal clan. In terms of seniority, Di Chuchen would have to call him "Grand Uncle." As for others, Di Chuchen can still use his status as the Crown Prince to intimidate them.
However, even Emperor Chu Chen's mother held Chu Gongfeng in high esteem back then, so Emperor Chu Chen would never show him the slightest contempt or disrespect.
Since he couldn't persuade Chu Gongfeng to turn a blind eye, Di Chuchen simply stopped talking and secretly slipped away.
