Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's figure walk out of the hall,
Zhu Biao immediately went up and asked,""Imperial Father, how is Imperial Mother's condition?”
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not care about the crowd at all and quickly walked towards his chariot.
All the princes and ministers who were waiting outside the hall were puzzled as they watched his hurried back. They did not know what had happened.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the carriage and said anxiously,""Quickly return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
The imperial carriage immediately set off, heading towards the deepest part of the palace at full speed.
As soon as he arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Yuanzhang got off the carriage and ran all the way to a heavily guarded secret room.
At this moment, he was very nervous. After all, this was his last hope to cure Empress Ma's illness!
He thought to himself that if this thing Heng 'er left behind was useless, then he would really be powerless to turn the situation around. He could only watch as his wife left him!
Right at this moment,
Suddenly, dozens of vigorous figures flashed out from the shadows. Their bodies emitted a powerful and cold killing aura!
The people who had come were the leader of the Shadow Guards, Mao Xiang, and the elites of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Their mission was naturally to guard this secret chamber that Zhu Yuanzhang regarded as the top secret of the Ming Dynasty!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Mao Xiang led the Embroidered Uniform Guards to kneel on one knee and salute with a respectful and resolute expression.
Everyone knelt on both sides of the road, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't be bothered with them. He walked straight into the secret room.
There was a "click" sound coming from the hall!
Following that was the sound of chains and gears turning. An opened profound jade door weighing a thousand pounds appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Behind the door was a dark and deep passage. One could see a strange light coming from the depths of the secret chamber!
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate at all. He walked into the dark secret passage and continued to walk inside.
After walking for half an hour, a secret room that was 100 feet square appeared in front of him. The darkness in the secret passage had completely disappeared, and the light that shone in front of him was even a little dazzling.
This secret room was spacious and empty. There were no treasures or rare treasures. There was only a huge jade tray placed in the center of the secret room!
The tray was white and flawless. Traces of strange light flowed on it, making it look very noble and extraordinary!
If this jade tray was taken outside, it would be worth dozens of cities, or even hundreds of cities!
On this jade plate that could be called a priceless treasure was a golden dragon egg!
The dragon egg's body was surrounded by a dazzling golden light!
Countless golden lights gathered and transformed into ancient and profound divine runes. They were like divine dragons soaring and soaring!
As the crystal sparkled, a strange halo spread out. Ordinary people could not help but kneel down and submit to it when they saw it!
It was a suppressive force that came from the depths of his soul, a suppression that came from the level of his bloodline!
The last item Zhu Heng left behind before he left was this strange golden egg!
Zhu Yuanzhang had thought that it was an egg of a divine creature. He was afraid that Empress Ma would be sad when she saw it, so he didn't tell her all this.
However, this wait lasted for 20 years. This golden egg had not hatched for a full 20 years!
After experiencing such endless waiting and waiting, even Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little despair in his heart.
Originally, he had already lost his patience and courage to continue waiting for the surprise that this golden egg would bring him.
But today, when he told Empress Ma his true feelings, the most sincere feelings made him even more reluctant to part with the manager.
So,
Today, he still came to this golden dragon egg. He was looking forward to obtaining even a trace of hope!
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was complicated. He reached out to touch the golden dragon egg.
He suddenly said to the golden dragon egg,""Heng 'er, it's been a long time since I've come here to see you. Father misses you.”
"Don't blame us. Too many things have happened in the past few years. Father is also very busy. Currently, the Northern Yuan in the north of Ming Dynasty has split into three tribes, Tartar, Wala, and Wuliangha. Recently, they have been harassing the territory of Ming Dynasty more and more frequently.”
"There are still pirates attacking the northeast sea area, causing the surrounding people to be in dire straits. Sigh, we can only rely on the forbidden sea to suppress them."
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang paused, and a touch of sadness appeared on his face." Sigh, let's not talk about this with you. With Father around, they can't turn the world upside down."”
"But there's one thing that we really can't do anything about. Your mother's illness is getting worse these days.”
"She misses you so much. In the past, she doted on you the most. We couldn't eat anything delicious. But now that she's old, her only wish is to see you before she leaves.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes reddened unconsciously. He slapped the golden egg heavily and said with some anger,
"Where did you go, brat? What are you doing? If your mother doesn't leave in peace, I won't forgive you!”
Pa!
Tears fell from his slightly old and tired face, dripping onto the stone floor of the secret chamber.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the golden dragon egg in front of him in a daze. As usual, there was no movement or reaction.
"Sigh!"
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh. His originally straight back seemed to have stooped a little at this moment.
As expected, he still failed!
All these years, he had been unwilling to accept the truth and still had a glimmer of hope!
But now, he could confirm that Heng 'er had really sacrificed himself to save him in the bloody battle at Poyang Lake!
He was really Sacred Lord Skyfire who had come to the human world to repay his kindness. Now that he had finished repaying his kindness, he had already returned to heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart ached. If he had been a little stronger back then, why would he have forced his son to sacrifice himself?
However, since everything had already happened, he could only accept reality. He picked up the golden dragon egg and thought that taking it to Empress Ma would make her feel a little better.
However, at this moment, a cracking sound was suddenly heard!
The golden dragon egg actually cracked open. Before Zhu Yuanzhang could react, a figure with dragon horns crawled out of the dragon egg!
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by the scene in front of him. His entire body trembled as he looked excitedly at the figure of the dragon egg hatching in his arms.
"This is…"
