Chapter 234: Chapter 212: This Child Is Not a Concern_3

Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment, then took out a communication talisman for Prince Liang Hong.

“Hey, Your Highness,” he said.

“Junior Brother Jiang! Have you finished drawing my Evil-Expelling Talisman?”

“Not yet, I want to see your father in person to understand his specific symptoms and then draw the talisman accordingly.”

“That’s probably not possible,” he replied.

“Why not?”

Prince Liang Hong explained, “My father hasn’t seen any outsiders for some time now.”

“He won’t even see his own son?”

“Not even me, let alone Liang Chun.”

Jiang Cheng frowned and said, “If I can’t see the patient, I really can’t draw the talisman.”

“What?”

Prince Liang Hong had not realized the seriousness of the problem until Jiang Cheng mentioned he couldn’t draw the talisman; then he instantly became aware of it.

“What should we do then? Since falling ill, my father’s temperament has changed drastically, he even refuses to see his favorite Noble Consorts. As for me, his adopted son, he couldn’t care less.”

Jiang Cheng analyzed, “If he’s ill, the Imperial Physician has to see him at some point, right?”

“My mother had someone inquire, and the Imperial Physician also diagnoses from a distance, through a barrier.”

Jiang Cheng’s brows deepened upon hearing this.

The Emperor of Liang’s actions were quite strange.

Not even wanting to see a doctor when ill, he seemed to prioritize privacy over treatment.

There could be many reasons the emperor didn’t want to see anyone, and Jiang Cheng couldn’t be sure which it was.

He decided to investigate in person.

“Your Highness, if the emperor can’t be seen, can I still enter the Imperial Palace?”

“That’s simple.”

The next day, Jiang Cheng and Prince Liang Hong were walking in the palace of Great Liang.

The palace of Great Liang was grand and splendid, but it was just like the image from a historical drama on Earth, hardly special.

That wasn’t the fault of the architects of Liang Kingdom, it’s probably better to blame their art department for being lazy.

Prince Liang Hong, surprised at Jiang Cheng’s calm demeanor, asked, “Junior Brother Jiang, have you been here before?”

“No, it’s my first time entering.”

“Strange, most people can’t help but marvel the first time they come. Junior Brother Jiang acts like he’s used to it.”

Jiang Cheng didn’t continue the topic, he asked, “Where does your father reside?”

“Follow me.”

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of the Emperor’s sleeping quarters.

At the very outskirts of the Emperor’s sleeping quarters, there was a circle of Imperial Army guards, while closer in, only two eunuchs stood at the doors.

The Imperial Army naturally couldn’t stop Prince Liang Hong, but at the entrance to the sleeping quarters, the two eunuchs unanimously blocked Jiang Cheng and Prince Liang Hong.

“Greetings, Prince Chu,” said the two eunuchs.

“Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Zhang.”

“And who is this?”

“This is my junior from Lotus University, Jiang Cheng, Mr. Jiang.”

Eunuch Liu said with a smile, “Mr. Jiang is so young and talented, truly fortunate.”

Jiang Cheng gave a polite nod, then heard Liang Hong ask, “May I inquire if it’s convenient to see my father today, Eunuchs?”

Eunuch Liu replied almost in a rehearsed fashion, “His Majesty is unwell and requires tranquility. It’s really inconvenient.”

Liang Hong led Jiang Cheng away from the sleeping quarters, saying, “You see, what did I tell you? They won’t let us in.”

Jiang Cheng mused, “Would it be impossible to force our way in?”

“Those two eunuchs have at least Foundation Establishment cultivation levels. Inside, there must be trusted followers of my father. Forcing our way in definitely won’t work.”

Jiang Cheng, pulling Liang Hong back to the entrance of the sleeping quarters, said, “Eunuchs, would it be okay if His Highness and I just walked around here, without entering?”

Eunuch Liu replied with a smile, “Since you are a friend of Prince Chu, it’s naturally no problem. Eunuch Zhang, please lead His Highness and the esteemed guest to stroll around.”

Liang Hong didn’t know what Jiang Cheng was planning.

But since he was the one chosen by the Void Venerable, every action he took must have had a deeper meaning.

Inside the sleeping quarters, three aged eunuchs casually played cards, bored.

As for the Divinity Transformation elder Liang Heng, his whereabouts were unknown.

“Just let them wander like that?”

“Blind opposition might backfire. Everyone here is aware of the Prince’s power level. Let him create a commotion, he can’t really stir up any trouble.”

“But isn’t there a new cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage with him?”

“What trouble can someone at the Qi Cultivation Stage cause? He is not a matter of concern.”
