God Emperor

Latest website: The old woman was dressed very plainly and looked extremely old. Her skin was the color of clay, her whole body was covered with wrinkles, and there were only a few sparse white hairs left on her head, which were about to fall out.

The old woman was very excited. She broke free from the hands of Bai Xuanyu and Bai Xuanshuang, rushed in front of Zhang Ruochen, grabbed his hands tremblingly, and asked with tears in her eyes: "Prince...Prince...are you really the prince?" Really? Are you back?"

The old woman's cultivation is unpredictable. When she steps into this area, the entire space seems to have left independently.

Although they were standing on the bustling street, no one could see them or even touch them.

Zhang Ruochen stared at the old woman in front of him, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar. At the same time, he could also tell that the old woman was indeed expressing her true feelings.

Otherwise, with her cultivation and state of mind, how could she be so excited that she shed tears?

Zhang Ruochen was infected by that emotion and asked without deliberately concealing his identity: "Old man, do you know me?"

The old woman said in a trembling voice: "I am Bai Su, Bai Su! Back then, His Highness the Crown Prince had two little maids, and one of them was me! Does Your Highness not remember me anymore?"

Zhang Ruochen was slightly startled, and then carefully looked at the woman in front of him who was about to die of old age. He was a little disbelieving and said: "Are you Bai Su, the little Su'er of the Bai family? I remember that you were only nine years old when you entered the palace. Then One day, it snowed heavily in the palace, and your little face turned red from the cold. Bai Qi, the ancestor of the Bai family, personally sent you to the East Palace, asking you to stay with me from now on, take care of my daily life, and study together. That At that time, you were only a little taller, why are you already... so..."

Zhang Ruochen still didn't say the word "old" after all.

Eight hundred years ago, many of her old friends had died of old age, so it was a miracle that she was still alive.

Granny Bai Su was already in tears. Many distant memories were awakened by Zhang Ruochen, and she knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness... You are really His Highness. Bai Su can see His Highness again before he dies... It's worth it... …This life has been worth it!”

Qin Yutong, Bai Xuanyu, and Bai Xuanshuang were also shocked. They immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Zhang Ruochen, "Meet the Crown Prince."

"The Shengming Central Empire has been destroyed long ago. How can there be any prince? Get up! All of you, get up."

Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh, stretched out his hands, and helped Granny Bai Su up first.

"As long as His Highness returns, the Shengming Central Empire will not be destroyed."

After all, Granny Bai Su had an experience eight hundred years ago, and she was in a very deep state of mind. Gradually, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked, "Your Highness, has the Emperor come back with you?"

Qin Yutong, Bai Xuanyu, and Bai Xuanshuang were still kneeling on the ground and did not stand up. However, at this moment, they all looked expectant.

If so, Emperor Ming's return will be even more exciting news.

"No, I've been looking for him too."

Zhang Ruochen stared at Granny Bai Su again and said, "Bai Su, I have many questions about the palace incident eight hundred years ago, and I want to ask you alone."

"Yes." Granny Bai Su nodded deeply.

Returning to Fengwu Palace again, we came to a deep training cave.

Qin Yutong, Bai Xuanyu, and Bai Xuanshuang were all waiting outside the cave, while Zhang Ruochen and Granny Bai Su walked towards the depths of the cave.

Bai Xuanshuang was very excited and extremely happy, saying: "He is actually His Highness the Crown Prince. We must be the first group of people to come into contact with His Highness. What if... I accidentally become the Crown Princess?"

Bai Xuanyu seemed much calmer and said: "Sister, you don't have to worry about this, the Crown Princess will never get your turn. I think Senior Sister Qin and His Highness are the real talents."

Bai Xuanshuang pretended to be annoyed and kept grinding her teeth.

Qin Yutong stood in the distance, looking extremely quiet, like a fairy in a painting. However, her starry eyes still revealed a smile.

In any case, the appearance of Crown Prince Shengming was indeed exciting news, which made all three of them feel very happy.

In the cave.

Granny Baisu was hunched over, walking very slowly, and her voice was very hoarse: "Eight hundred years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated and died tragically in the East Palace. The Emperor also disappeared on the same day, and the entire Ming Emperor's Palace and the entire court were plunged into chaos. confusion."

Zhang Ruochen asked: "On the day I was assassinated, do you know what happened?"

Granny Bai Su shook her head and sighed: "I don't know what happened specifically. That day, I happened to go back to Bai's house and learned about the assassination of His Highness in the evening. Moreover, regarding the palace incident, There are many theories and rumors flying around, and I don’t know who to believe?”

"What are the rumors?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Granny Baisu said: "Some people claim that when His Highness died, only the eldest lady of Peacock Villa appeared in the East Palace. This incident was a palace coup launched by Peacock Villa to seize the power of the Shengming Central Empire."

"However, there is news that the person who killed His Highness was Princess Chi Yao of the Chi Qing Central Empire."

"There are even some rumors claiming that this matter is related to the Undead Vampire Clan and that it is an act of revenge by the Blood Queen."

Zhang Ruochen's expression changed and he asked: "How can this matter be related to the Immortal Blood Clan? Hasn't the Blood Queen fallen into the endless abyss long ago?"

Granny Bai Su said: "I also heard Master Twelve mention it once later. He said that Emperor Ming had some subtle relationship with the Blood Queen. At the beginning, Emperor Ming was likely to be merciful to the Blood Queen and did not send her into eternity. abyss."

Zhang Ruochen fell into silence and didn't speak for a long time.

In the palace incident that year, there were actually shadows of the immortal vampire clan, which made Zhang Ruochen feel more and more confused.

Granny Baisu continued: "Later, Kong Shangguan launched a coup, controlled the government, eliminated dissidents, and caused a bloody storm in Shengming City. I have never entered the Emperor Ming Palace again."

"Later, Chi Qing's Central Empire attacked Shengming City, and there was another three months of massacre. Some monks escaped, but some failed to escape."

"Many families who were unwilling to surrender suffered bloody massacres. Our Bai family was also destroyed at that time. Many female family members were captured and treated inhumanely."?

"I have practiced with His Highness for five years, and His Highness has given me many miraculous elixirs. Therefore, my physique and qualifications are considered to be excellent, and my cultivation level is also top-notch. During the auction, I was killed by a person from Fengwu Palace. The saint took a fancy to it and bought it at a high price. In total, I have been in Fengwu Palace for more than seven hundred years."

Grandma Bai Su and Zhang Ruochen talked for three hours, telling a lot of things.

Including how she met the Twelve Masters, how she broke through the Holy Realm, how she became a high-ranking official in Fengwu Palace... and so on.

Some of the things she said were very sad and sad, and she kept wiping away tears, as if she had become the timid little palace maid she had been back then.

Grandma Bai Su smiled in her tears and said: "Two hundred years ago, I should have died. However, Master Twelve would send some life-extending elixirs every year, so I only hung on to half my life and lived until now." ."

"In recent years, if I take the elixir again, the potency of the medicine is very little. Counting the days, at most three months will be the day when I will completely fall. Being able to see His Highness the Crown Prince again before he dies, I have no regrets in this life."

Granny Bai Su didn't ask about Zhang Ruochen's experience over the years. She just asked Zhang Ruochen if he wanted to inform Master Twelve immediately? ?

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "No, don't make this matter public for now. The more people know the truth, the more dangerous I will be."

"That's true, even within our ranks, there are people from various forces lurking in."

Obviously, Granny Bai Su also had some worries, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would be assassinated again.

She added: "Especially the court personnel, once they are allowed to confirm the news of His Highness's return, the consequences will be disastrous."

Rumors and truth are two completely different situations, and the court attaches different importance to them.

So far, no matter how much people spread the rumors, there is no fact that proves that Zhang Ruochen is the Shengming Crown Prince from eight hundred years ago.

When everyone calmed down, some rational monks would not believe this rumor at all.

Because the rumor itself is too nonsense and beyond normal people's understanding.

"The fewer people who know, the better. Don't notify the Twelfth Emperor for now. When the time is right, I will go to see him in person." Zhang Ruochen said.

Granny Bai Su asked: "What are your plans next?"?

Zhang Ruochen was in a great mood when he saw his old friend. He showed a smile and said, "Of course I have to practice hard and strive to become a saint as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can there be a place for me in the world? Of course, there is one more thing. You have to Help me do it."

"If you need anything, please give me your orders, Your Highness."

Grandma Bai Su bowed and saluted. Even though eight hundred years had passed, she was still very respectful to Zhang Ruochen. ?

There was a complicated look in Zhang Ruochen's eyes, he paused and said, "Help me check, who spread the word that I am the Crown Prince Shengming?"?

"I'll do it now."

Grandma Baisu attached great importance to this matter and was ready to investigate it herself, so she immediately went outside.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Ruochen stopped Grandma Bai Su, took out a fist-sized black fruit from the space ring, and handed it to her.

"This is a divine fruit I picked from the underworld. It has grown for an unknown number of years and absorbed a large amount of divine energy from a divine corpse. Although it is not a magical medicine, it can still extend your life. ten years."

"Your Highness... you are still exactly the same as before. If you have any panacea, you will not forget to share it with us."

Granny Bai Su did not refuse, because she knew the character of His Highness the Crown Prince, and since she had decided to send something away, there was absolutely no possibility of taking it back.

Besides, her life was coming to an end and she was indeed in urgent need of the Godly Fruit.

Not long after Granny Bai Su left the cave, Zhang Ruochen also walked out.

Outside the cave, only Qin Yutong was still waiting outside. Bai Xuanyu and Bai Xuanshuang had left with Granny Bai Su.

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."

Qin Yutong's expression was very gentle and she immediately saluted Zhang Ruochen. Every movement was extremely elegant and had a unique sense of beauty.

"From now on, please don't call me His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't want to reveal my identity yet." Zhang Ruochen said.

"clear."

Qin Yutong smiled lightly, "My mother-in-law still told Yutong not to reveal Young Master Zhang's identity to anyone."

Zhang Ruochen glanced at her, nodded, and said: "The commander of the fourth battalion of the Canglong Army, Liao Huacheng, should be still in the seventh city area now, right?"?

"Master Zhang, are you still going to kill him?"

Qin Yutong wanted to stop Zhang Ruochen. After all, his status was too noble and no one could afford it if he was lost.

Many leftover officials from the previous dynasty would regard her, Qin Yutong, as a sinner.

However, Zhang Ruochen had already rushed out and left Fengwu Palace.

Qin Yutong sighed quietly, used his body skills, transformed into a graceful figure, and immediately chased after him, not daring to let Zhang Ruochen take risks alone. (To be continued.)
