"Chi Yao, I treat you like my true love, why do you want to kill me?"
Zhang Ruochen roared loudly and threw himself forward, making the gilded bed creak as he sat up suddenly.
Realizing that it was just a dream, Zhang Ruochen took a long breath and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.
No!
That's not a dream!
How could everything that happened between him and Princess Chi Yao be a dream?
Zhang Ruochen was originally the only son of the "Ming Emperor", one of the nine great emperors of the Kunlun Realm. At the age of only sixteen, he cultivated to the perfection of the Heavenly Realm with his heaven-defying physique.
However, just when he was becoming the number one young person in the Kunlun world, he died at the hands of his childhood sweetheart and fiancée, Princess Chi Yao.
Princess Chi Yao is the daughter of "Qing Emperor", one of the nine emperors.
Emperor Ming and Emperor Qing are the best friends. Zhang Ruochen and Princess Chi Yao are even married at the fingertips. They grew up together and practiced together. One is heroic and the other is extremely beautiful. They can be called the golden boy and jade girl. They could have become the best in the world of cultivation.
A good story.
Zhang Ruochen never expected that Princess Chi Yao would actually take action against him!
After dying in the hands of Princess Chi Yao, when Zhang Ruochen woke up again, he found that he was already eight hundred years later.
The former Princess Chi Yao quelled the Nine Emperors' Rebellion, unified the nine kingdoms, established the First Central Empire, and became the ruler of the entire Kunlun realm - Queen Chi Yao.
Eight hundred years ago, the Nine Emperors who dominated the Kunlun Realm completely became a thing of the past and disappeared in the long river of history.
The Nine Emperors are dead, and the Queen should stand.
In this era, there is only one emperor, Queen Chi Yao, who rules the world and is powerful in all directions.
"Why did she want to kill me? How could her heart be so cruel? Or do all women have such cruel hearts?"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were sharp, his heart was as heavy as iron, and he was full of questions. However, no one could help him answer them.
Eight hundred years have passed, and the world has changed. Things and people have changed. Except for Queen Chi Yao, who has peerless cultivation, she is still young and immortal. All the old friends have turned into loess and turned into white bones.
Even the Nine Emperors, who were so majestic at that time, have all disappeared from the world, leaving only a series of glorious stories that will be passed down by future generations.
"Squeak!"
A frail and beautiful woman in palace attire opened the door and walked in from the outside. She looked at Zhang Ruochen sitting on the bed with concerned eyes, "Chen'er, are you having a nightmare again?"
The beautiful woman in front of me is the princess of Yunwu County and Zhang Ruochen's mother, Concubine Lin.
The original owner of this body died on the bed three days ago because of his frail health.
After Zhang Ruochen was killed by Princess Chi Yao, he woke up again and appeared in this body, bringing the young man who had died of illness back to life. What's even more coincidental is that the original owner of this body was also named Zhang Ruochen.
When Zhang Ruochen just woke up, he still rejected Concubine Lin. After all, in Zhang Ruochen's eyes, Concubine Lin was just a stranger.
However, after three days of contact, Zhang Ruochen gradually discovered that Concubine Lin really cared about him and was very considerate. When she saw Zhang Ruochen was frightened out of a nightmare, she immediately came to Zhang Ruochen's room regardless of the freezing weather.
In his last life, Zhang Ruochen had never met his biological mother. It is said that she passed away when he was born! Unexpectedly, after being killed by Princess Chi Yao, he was reborn in this body, which actually gave him an extra
As a mother, I feel the warmth of maternal love.
"Perhaps she still doesn't know that her Chen'er died of illness three days ago!"
If he told her the truth, she might not be able to bear the blow of this bad news.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, his eyes softened, and he smiled slightly: "Mother, don't worry about me, it's just a dream."
Concubine Lin wore a maroon hooded mink fur on her thin body. She sat beside Zhang Ruochen's bed, caressed Zhang Ruochen's forehead, and said worriedly: "It's been three nights, and you always wake up from nightmares. Every day
She has been called 'Chi Yao' every time. Who is she?"
It is naturally impossible for Concubine Lin to associate the name "Chi Yao" with the empress of the First Central Empire.
Moreover, after Empress Chi Yao unified the Kunlun Realm and established the First Central Empire, she became known as the "Female Holy Queen of Great Power and Virtue". No one would dare to mention the word "Chi Yao" at ordinary times. It would be a taboo.
Zhang Ruochen said: "It's nothing, mother, you heard wrong!"
Concubine Lin sighed and said: "In the future, you must never call the word 'Chi Yao' directly, even in your dreams. That is the Queen's first name. It is disrespectful to call the Queen by her first name. Once someone hears it,
, will be executed.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, squeezed his fingers tightly, and said meaningfully: "Absolutely not! From now on..."
From now on, I will be her nightmare.
Concubine Lin looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was thin and pale, and sighed softly, feeling extremely sad in her heart.
Although he was born in a county prince's family, he has been frail and sick since he was a child. He is already sixteen years old and still can only lie in bed all year round. I am afraid that this is the only way he will be like this for the rest of his life!
Outside, there was a burst of messy footsteps.
"What are you doing? This is Yushu Palace. Who gave you the courage to barge in at will?" A beautiful maid wanted to stop the eighth prince who broke in, but he was pushed lightly by the eighth prince and fell to the ground.
Many meters away.
The Eighth Prince is a warrior. His cultivation has reached the late stage of Huang Ji Realm. A strike with one palm is enough to knock a stone plate weighing three hundred kilograms ten feet away, let alone a maid weighing ten kilograms?
With a flick of your fingers, she can be thrown away.
The maid screamed and fell heavily to the ground, and her left arm was broken.
The eighth prince was wearing a golden robe with a jade belt around his waist. He had a strong body, slender arms and a steady pace. He walked into Yushu Palace and stared at the maid coldly, "A slave dares to block my way.
It’s really looking for death.”
Behind the Eighth Prince were six guards wearing unicorn leather armor. They were tall and sturdy, and they were obviously powerful martial arts monks who belonged to the imperial guards of the palace.
Concubine Lin heard the noise outside and calmed Zhang Ruochen's mood, then closed the door and walked out.
She stared at the Eighth Prince standing outside, frowned slightly, and said: "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, this is Yushu Palace. Even if you are a prince, you can't break in!"
The eighth prince Zhang Ji raised his head and stared at Concubine Lin, and said loudly: "The queen has ordered that the palace of Concubine Lin and her ninth brother be changed to the 'Purple Yi Palace'. From now on, the owner of Yushu Palace will be this prince's biological mother Xiao
Concubine."
Concubine Lin's expression changed slightly. She had expected this day to come, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Concubine Lin smiled miserably and said: "Is the Queen going to drive us mother and son out of Yushu Palace so soon? Okay! Tomorrow, Chen'er and I will move to the side hall."
The Eighth Prince said: "I'm sorry! Mother said that she wants to move into Yushu Palace tonight. Please ask Concubine Lin to move to the side hall now!"
Concubine Lin knew that Zhang Ruochen was frail and sick and could not withstand the hardships. She said with a somewhat pleading tone: "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, you also know that your ninth brother is frail and sick. It's late at night and the weather is cold. What if..."
The eighth prince smiled coldly and said without any courtesy: "Ms. Lin, there are so many pitiable people in this world, but not everyone deserves to be pitied. Since the ninth brother is weak and sick, what are you still doing in the world?"
"He is your ninth brother!"
Concubine Lin wanted to say something else, but suddenly, the door behind her was pushed open.
Zhang Ruochen's body was so weak that he could barely stand by supporting the doorpost with his hands, staring at the Eighth Prince not far away. His seemingly frail body seemed to contain an unyielding will, and said: "No need to ask them, we are now
Just move away.”
"Chen'er, why did you get out of bed? It's cold outside, why don't you go back soon." Concubine Lin quickly stepped forward to support Zhang Ruochen, fearing that he would catch the cold.
Zhang Ruochen stubbornly shook his head and said, "Mother, we don't need to ask anyone. Sooner or later... we will come back here again!"
Concubine Lin looked at Zhang Ruochen's firm eyes and seemed to be infected by his emotions. She nodded with tears in her eyes.
Lin Feishen supported Zhang Ruochen and walked out of Yushu Palace step by step. Except for the maid who was pushed out by the eighth prince and broke her arm, none of the other servants left Yushu Palace with them.
Everyone could see that Concubine Lin and the Ninth Prince had completely lost their power, and it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the prince's palace.
Originally, they were servants of Yushu Palace, so now they naturally and wisely chose to stay in Yushu Palace, and all went to please the eighth prince, the new master.
The Ziyi Side Hall is usually where the disgraced princess lives. It is very remote and covered with fallen leaves. It seems that no one has lived there for a long time.
The night is deep and the cold wind is blowing.
Sitting on the cold stone bench, Zhang Ruochen's thin body was wrapped in a coat, but he still felt cold.
"This body is too weak. Only by practicing martial arts can the body gradually become stronger. Otherwise, even if I am the son of a county prince now, I will still be at the mercy of others." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Eight hundred years have passed, and Zhang Ruochen doesn't know where he can go now? Since God arranged for him to be reborn in this body, whether it is for revenge against Queen Chi Yao in the future, or for the mother who takes good care of him, he
They all must become stronger.
The humiliation and cold treatment I suffered today was entirely because I was too weak to resist, unable to control my own destiny, and even the place where I lived was occupied by others.
If you want to gain the respect of others and obtain a warm and comfortable living environment, you must become a warrior and prove your ability.
In the Kunlun world, if you want to become a warrior, you must first activate the "Mark of Divine Martial Arts".
The so-called "Seal of Divine Martial Arts" is the qualification given by the gods to human beings to practice martial arts. Those who do not open the "Seal of Divine Martial Arts" will never be able to cultivate their true energy and become a strong man in the world.
Zhang Ruochen is already sixteen years old and still has not opened the "Seal of Divine Martial Arts".
After the age of sixteen, you miss the best age for practicing martial arts. Even if you turn on the "mark of divine martial arts", you won't be able to achieve much.
They are both the sons of Prince Yunwu, so why is the eighth prince so superior to others? Can he drive Zhang Ruochen and Concubine Lin out of Yushu Palace?
It is because the eighth prince opened the "Shenwu Seal" when he was ten years old, and is now a young warrior in the late Huangji realm.
"As long as I activate the 'Shenwu Seal', I can practice the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra". With the mystery of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", even if I have missed the best training age, it is still possible to catch up with other geniuses and become a genius again.
A strong martial artist."
The "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" is the supreme cultivation manual of Emperor Ming. Apart from Emperor Ming, only Zhang Ruochen knows the complete cultivation method of "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra".
"Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony. I hope to get the approval of the gods and open the 'Seal of Divine Martial Arts'." Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists, full of desire to open the "Seal of Divine Martial Arts".
After Concubine Lin tidied up the room, she came over to help Zhang Ruochen, "Chen'er, go to bed early! Tomorrow, we have to attend the sacrifice ceremony."
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be able to activate the 'Seal of Divine Martial Arts' tomorrow!" Zhang Ruochen said.
"Well! Mom believes in you!"
Concubine Lin took a deep look at Zhang Ruochen and sighed softly in her heart.
In fact, she had no hope that Zhang Ruochen would be able to activate the "Seal of Divine Martial Arts". After all, Zhang Ruochen was already sixteen years old. After the age of sixteen, it would be almost impossible for him to be able to activate the "Seal of Divine Martial Arts".
However, as a mother, she must encourage her child and give him confidence.
