Chapter 1028 Bai Su
The old woman dressed very simply and looked particularly old. Her skin was like soil, her body was covered with wrinkles, and only a few sparse white spots left on her head, which was almost falling out.
The old woman was very excited and broke free from Bai Xuanyu and Bai Xuanshuang's hands, rushed to Zhang Ruochen, grabbed his hands tremblingly, and asked with tears in her eyes: "Crown Prince...Crown Prince... Are you really the prince? Are you back?"
The old woman's cultivation is unfathomable. When she stepped into this area, the entire space seemed to be independent.
Even though they were standing on the bustling and bustling streets, no one could see them or even touch them.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the old woman in front of him and felt that she was both familiar and unfamiliar. At the same time, she could tell that the old woman was indeed a true expression of love.
Otherwise, with her cultivation and state of mind, how could she cry with excitement?
Zhang Ruochen was infected by that emotion and did not deliberately hide his identity. He asked, "Old man, do you know me?"
The old woman said in a trembling voice: "I am Bai Su, Bai Su! Back then, there were two little palace maids around His Royal Highness, one of which was me! Does Your Royal Highness remember me anymore?"
Zhang Ruochen was slightly stunned and looked at the woman who was about to die of old age again, and said in disbelief: "Are you Bai Su, the little Suer of the Bai family? I remember that you were only nine years old when you entered the palace. That day, it was snowing heavily in the palace and your little face was red from the cold. Bai Qi's ancestor of the Bai family personally sent you to the East Palace, asking you to follow me in the future, take care of my daily life and study together. At that time, you were only so little taller, why are you... so... now..."
Zhang Ruochen still didn't say the word "old".
Eight hundred years ago, many old friends had died of old age, and it was a miracle that she could still live.
Bai Su's grandmother was already in tears. Zhang Ruochen awakened many distant memories and knelt directly on the ground: "Your Highness the Crown Prince... You are really Your Highness the Crown Prince. Bai Su can see Your Highness again before his death... It's worth it... This life is worth it!"
Qin Yutong, Bai Xuanyu, and Bai Xuanshuang were also shocked and immediately knelt on the ground in unison, saluting Zhang Ruochen, "Greetings to the Crown Prince."
"The Central Empire of the Holy Ming Dynasty has long been destroyed, so how can there be any prince? Get up! You all get up."
Zhang Ruochen sighed long, stretched out his hands, and helped Bai Su up first.
"As long as your highness returns, the Central Empire of the Holy Ming will not be considered destruction."
After all, Bai Su’s grandma had experience eight hundred years ago and was in a very profound 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 showed a look of expectation.
If Emperor Ming returns, it will be even more exciting news.
"No, I've been looking for him."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes stared at Bai Su's grandmother again and said, "Bai Su, I have many questions about the palace transformation incident eight hundred years ago. I want to ask you alone."
"Yes." Grandma Bai Su nodded deeply.
Return to Fengwu Palace and come to a deep cultivation cave.
Qin Yutong, Bai Xuanyu, and Bai Xuanshuang were all waiting outside the cave, and Zhang Ruochen and Bai Su Grandma walked towards the depths of the cave.
Bai Xuanshuang was very excited and extremely happy, saying, "He turned out to be His Royal Highness. We must be the first to come into contact with His Royal Highness. What should I do 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 is not your turn. I think Senior Sister Qin and Your Highness are the real men and women."
Bai Xuanshuang pretended to be angry and kept grinding her teeth.
Qin Yutong stood in the distance, looking particularly quiet, like a fairy in the scroll. However, her starry eyes still showed a smile.
No matter what, the appearance of the Prince of Shengming was indeed an exciting news, which made the three of them feel very happy.
In the cave.
Bai Su's grandmother bent down and walked very slowly, her voice was hoarse: "Eight hundred years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated and died tragically in the Eastern Palace. The Emperor also disappeared on the same day, and the entire Ming Emperor Palace and the entire court were all in chaos."
Zhang Ruochen asked, "Do you know what happened on the day I was assassinated?"
Grandma Bai Su shook her head and sighed: "I don't know what happened. On that day, I happened to go back to the Bai family and learned that his highness was assassinated. It was already evening. Moreover, there were many statements about the palace revolution incident, and rumors spread everywhere. I didn't know who to believe at all?"
"What are the rumors?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Grandma Bai Su said: "Some people claim that when His Highness died, only the eldest lady from Peacock Villa appeared in the East Palace. This was a palace coup in Peacock Villa, and she wanted to seize the country of the Central Empire of Shengming."
"But there is another news that the person who killed Your Highness is Princess Chi Yao of Chi Qing Central Empire."
"There are even some rumors that this matter is related to the Immortal Blood Clan and is a revenge after the blood."
Zhang Ruochen's expression moved and asked, "How could this matter be related to the Immortal Vampire? Didn't he fall into the endless abyss after the blood?"
Bai Su said: "I also heard the Twelfth Master mention it later. He said that Emperor Ming had some subtle relationship with the Queen of Blood. At the beginning, Emperor Ming was likely to show mercy to Queen of Blood and did not penetrate her into the endless abyss."
Zhang Ruochen fell into silence and did not speak for a long time.
The palace revolution incident that year actually had the shadow of the immortal blood clan, which made Zhang Ruochen feel more and more confusing.
Bai Su's grandmother continued: "Later, Kong Shangling took a coup, controlled the government, eliminated dissidents, and made Shengming City a bloody storm, and I never entered the Ming Emperor Palace again."
"Later, Chi Qing Central Empire captured Shengming City and then massacres for three consecutive months. Some monks escaped, but some monks failed to escape."
"Many families that were unwilling to surrender were slaughtered bloodily. At that time, our Bai family was destroyed and many female family members were captured and treated inhumanely."?
"I have been practicing with Your Highness for five years. Your Highness has given me a lot of magic medicines. Therefore, my physique and qualifications are considered high, and my cultivation is also outstanding. During the auction, I was attracted by a saint from Fengwu Palace and bought it at a high price. In short, I have been in Fengwu Palace for more than 700 years."
Grandma Bai Su talked with Zhang Ruochen for three consecutive hours and told a lot of things.
Including how she met the Twelve Master, how she broke through the holy realm, how she became a senior executive of Fengwu Palace..., etc.
Some of these things were very sad and sad, and she kept wiping her tears, as if she had become the somewhat timid little palace maid from that time.
Grandma Bai Su laughed in tears and said, "I should have died two hundred years ago, but the Twelfth Master will send some life-sustaining medicine every year, and I have only half my life and have lived until now."
"In recent years, taking spiritual medicines again has little power. Calculate the days, at most three months will be the day of complete death. I have no regrets in my life to be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again before dying."
Grandma Bai Su did not ask Zhang Ruochen about her experiences over the years, but just asked Zhang Ruochen whether she should notify the Twelve Master immediately?
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "No, don't announce this matter for the time being. The more people know the truth, the more dangerous I will be."
"That's right, even within us, there are troops from all sides lurking in."
Obviously, Bai Su's grandmother was also worried, afraid that Zhang Ruochen would be assassinated again.
She also said: "Especially the officials of the court, once they are asked to confirm the news of His Highness's return, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Rumors and truth are completely different, and the court attaches different importance to it.
So far, no matter how much everyone spreads it, there is no fact that Zhang Ruochen is the Crown Prince of Shengming 800 years ago.
When everyone calmed down, some rational monks would not believe this rumor at all.
Because the rumors themselves are too nonsense and come from normal people's perceptions.
"The fewer people know, the better. Don't notify the twelve emperors for the time being. When the time is right, I will go to see him in person." Zhang Ruochen said.
Bai Su asked, "What are the plans for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
When Zhang Ruochen saw his former old friend, he was in a great mood and smiled, saying, "Of course, I should work hard to become a saint as soon as possible, otherwise, there is no place for me to live in the world? Of course, there is another thing you have to help me do."
"If anything, your highness will give you orders."
Grandma Bai Su bowed and bowed. Even though eight hundred years had passed, she was still very respectful to Zhang Ruochen.?
A complicated look appeared in Zhang Ruochen's eyes, and he paused and said, "Check it out for me, who spread my identity as the Crown Prince of Shengming?"?
"I'll do it now."
Grandma Bai Su attached great importance to this matter and was about to go to investigate it in person and go out immediately.
"Let's go." Zhang Ruochen called Bai Su's grandmother, took out a black fruit the size of a fist from the space ring and handed it to her.
"This is a stubborn fruit I picked from the underworld. It has grown for many years and absorbed a large amount of spirit from a divine corpse. Although it is not considered a magical medicine, it can still last for decades for you."
"Your Highness...you are still exactly the same as you used to. If you have any magic pills, you will not forget to give us one."
Grandma Bai Su did not refuse because she knew the character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Since she decided to give away the things she had to give out, there was absolutely no possibility of taking them back.
Moreover, her life span is about to end, and she is indeed in urgent need of stubborn results.
Not long after Bai Su's grandmother left the cave, Zhang Ruochen also walked out.
Outside the cave, only Qin Yutong was still waiting outside, and Bai Xuanyu and Bai Xuanshuang had left with Bai Su's grandmother.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince."
Qin Yutong's expression was very gentle and she immediately saluted Zhang Ruochen. Every move was particularly elegant and had a unique beauty.
"In the future, don't call me Your Highness the Crown Prince. I don't want to announce my identity yet." Zhang Ruochen said.
"clear."
Qin Yutong smiled slightly, "Mother-in-law still instructed Yutong not to reveal Mr. Zhang's identity to anyone."
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Liao Huacheng, the commander of the Fourth Battalion of the Canglong Army, should be in the Seventh City now?"?
"Young Master Zhang still wants to kill him?"
Qin Yutong wanted to stop Zhang Ruochen. After all, his identity was too noble. Once there was a loss, no one could afford it.
Many ministers from the previous dynasty would regard her Qin Yutong as a sinner.
However, Zhang Ruochen had already rushed out first and left Fengwu Palace.
