Chapter 132: Chapter 132: From now on, let Xiaoqi protect you

Chu Qianli pretended to return to the Prince Residence.

In fact, that very night, she took advantage of the power of the Heavenly Silkworm Silk to float gently down onto the rooftops of the Prince Residence.

Although the courtyard of Chu Buqu was heavily guarded, the Duke Residence’s real expert was only Han Zhan.

Compared to the Prince Residence, teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, its guards were hardly a challenge for Chu Qianli.

So, when Han Zhan was not in this courtyard, it was much too easy for Chu Qianli to enter.

Inside the room, there was only one servant whom Chu Qianli did not recognize on watch, not even a doctor.

Isn’t the illness very serious? Why isn’t there a doctor attending at all times?

Chu Qianli had felt something was off early on.

She took advantage of the night to sneak in, and indeed, the timing was right.

She pinched a silver needle in her hand and flicked it lightly.

Even Chu Qianli herself hadn’t expected that after only two days of practicing the Marrow Cleansing Classic, she would exert so much more strength when using her wrist.

Unwittingly, she used too much force.

The servant didn’t even have the chance to groan before collapsing immediately.

Could this be what they call Inner Strength?

Chu Qianli was pleasantly surprised to find that her Inner Strength could actually gather together.

But due to her shallow cultivation, there wasn’t much Inner Strength.

Yet, it was a leap of progress!

The Marrow Cleansing Classic really was a remarkable thing.

Using the pull of the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, Chu Qianli floated gently down from the rooftop.

She quickly walked to Chu Buqu’s bedside, took his wrist, and placed her long fingers on his pulse.

Elderly ailments aren’t matters of a day or two, and this stroke was extremely severe.

As expected, it was a serious illness.

But just as she was about to let go of Chu Buqu’s hand, suddenly, an abnormal pulse made her frown.

No, this condition, it didn’t seem like a stroke.

She continued with her eyes closed, now more focused and careful than before.

It wasn’t long before Chu Qianli sharply opened her eyes, fingertips quivering slightly with anger.

It was chronic poisoning!

The symptoms were almost identical to those of a stroke!

If she hadn’t been careful enough, and her medical skills strong enough, even she would have been deceived!

Who could have poisoned grandfather?

"Xiaoqi..." Chu Buqu suddenly called out weakly, his voice hoarse and indistinct:

"Xiaoqi, is it you... you’ve finally come back to see me? They said you didn’t want to visit this old man..."

Chu Qianli’s nose tingled, and she nearly burst into tears, "Grandfather."

Grandfather!

A jolt went through Chu Buqu’s heart, and he struggled to open his eyes.

However, his vision was blurry, and everything seemed dreamlike, making it hard to tell if it was reality or fantasy.

"I must be dreaming, Xiaoqi... why would you call me like that? Indeed... it still must be a dream."

He felt weary and wanted to close his eyes again.

But Chu Qianli grabbed his hand firmly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandfather, it’s Xiaoqi! I really have come back!"

That scoundrel Chu Hongtao! He explicitly forbade her from seeing grandfather, yet had the gall to say she was unwilling to come!

In this entire room, aside from grandfather, not one person was good!

"Xiaoqi..."

Chu Buqu’s heart suddenly softened, and he nearly broke down in tears.

The term "grandfather," though common in ordinary families, had never been heard from Xiaoqi’s mouth.

The Duke Residence had its rules, and everyone called him the Duke or the old master.

But Xiaoqi’s calling him grandfather warmed his heart tremendously.

"Grandfather has become old, I’m no longer of any use, Xiaoqi, they bully you, and grandfather can’t protect you anymore."

"No! Grandfather, Xiaoqi doesn’t need your protection, Xiaoqi will, in turn, protect you!"

The person who poisoned grandfather, she would definitely find them!
