Drip.
Drip.
Time continued to pass, but the hall was completely silent.
All the ministers were motionless. Even Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze.
Only his heavy breathing could prove that time had not stopped flowing.
After a long, long time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again in a hoarse voice.”
"Chu Nan, are you saying that my Great Ming will perish seven hundred years later?”
When he asked this question, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but tremble.
Even though he wanted to calm himself down, he could not do it at all.
With the Emperor personally asking this question, the atmosphere in the main hall became even more tense, making people feel as if their backs were pricked.
The ministers trembled and blew deeply at their heads.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Nan with anticipation.
He wished that Chu Nan would say that he might have remembered wrongly.
He wished he could hear a denial from Chu Nan.
In fact, he even hoped that Chu Nan was a swindler and not someone who had traveled through time.
However, reality always backfired.
"Your Majesty, after seven hundred years, Great Ming is indeed gone.”Chu Nan said.
At this moment, he also put away his frivolity.
After all, he knew what these words meant to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Plop!
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne dejectedly, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
A sour feeling welled up in his heart.
His eyes turned red in an instant.
"How could this be, how could this be…"
"How could this be!"
"Chu Nan!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his head with bloodshot eyes and asked in a roar,""Are you sure you're not lying to me?”
"If you tell me now that you remembered wrongly, I…"
"Your Majesty." "I'm telling the truth." Chu Nan shook his head.”
"Think about it. You haven't even believed my identity yet. What good does it do for me to lie to you?”
"If you're in a bad mood and torture me to death, who will I reason with?”
"I'm a practical person. Whatever His Majesty asks, I'll answer.”
"Besides, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people. Everything I said is true.”
Although Chu Nan's words were light, they were like a knife that pierced through Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
It made it difficult for him to breathe.
In the imperial court, everyone looked at Chu Nan with different expressions.
Some people secretly sighed, some were unconvinced, and of course, most people felt pity.
Just based on Chu Nan's words, he was doomed.
Even if Old Zhu promised not to torture him, he wouldn't be able to live.
How could the emperor tolerate such blatant talk of national subjugation in the imperial court?
Zhu Yuanzhang took a dozen deep breaths to calm himself down.
He mustered up his courage and asked,"Then tell me, seven hundred years later, how did the Ming Dynasty perish?"”
No one knew how complicated Old Zhu's feelings were at the moment.
As an emperor, he had personally heard of the demise of his country.
Now, Old Zhu couldn't wait to know the reason.
He wanted to change. He wanted to change everything.
Even at this moment, he still did not fully believe Chu Nan's words.
However, everything Chu Nan said was reasonable and he had guessed his thoughts.
Therefore, he had to know the reason.
Even if everything turned out to be fake, at the very least, they could prevent it from happening.
However, Chu Nan's words once again caused Old Zhu to almost collapse.
"Your Majesty, this question is a little difficult to answer!”
"Great Ming will not perish seven hundred years later.”
" What?!" Zhu Yuanzhang's body instantly stiffened.
Didn't Great Ming fall seven hundred years later?
In other words, Da Ming was less than seven hundred years old?
"This, this, this…Is this true?" Old Zhu was already stuttering.
In just a short while, his mood fluctuated greatly, falling, falling, falling!
Now, he was about to fall to the eighteenth level of hell.
"Really?" Chu Nan said.
These two short words gave Zhu Yuanzhang another heavy blow, making him almost unable to sit still.
Zhu Biao hurriedly said," Father, this matter is too shocking. Let's discuss it in the future. We still need to investigate what Chu Nan said. Also…"
"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and suddenly coughed violently.
If one were to say that others only believed half of it at this moment, Old Zhu said that he already believed 90%.
After all, only he knew what he was thinking.
He took a few deep breaths again and said,""Chu Nan, finish it in one breath, I want to hear it! I order you to tell me everything you know about how Great Ming perished!”
The reason why he let Chu Nan finish speaking in one breath was because Zhu Yuanzhang could not take the repeated provocation.
He felt like he was no longer himself.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to hear it?!”
"Yes! I want to hear it!" Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze was resolute. He wanted to prevent trouble before it happened. He wanted to change everything.
"No matter what the ending is, I want to hear it!”
"You don't have to think or care about anything. Tell me everything you know!”
"How many generations has Great Ming passed down, how many years has it lasted, tell me everything.”
"I promise you that no matter what I hear, I won't vent my anger on you.”
"Zhen wants to hear it!"
Looking at the stubborn Zhu Yuanzhang, Chu Nan could not help but feel some admiration for him.
One had to know that not everyone had the courage to face the cruelty of reality.
"Since that's the case, Your Majesty, I'll tell you everything I know. Please sit tight.”
"Eh? Oh right, should we call the imperial physician over as well? I'm afraid that His Majesty won't be able to accept it…"
The ministers seemed to be numb to Chu Nan's disrespectful words.
"There's no need. Zhen can take it. Just say it!”Zhu Yuanzhang was about to collapse.
"Alright!" Chu Nan nodded.
