There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

The daughter-in-law that the empress spoke of was Rong Zheng's mother, Empress Gao.When Queen Gao was young, she was also an unrestrained and unrestrained girl who loved freedom. At the age of 20, she fulfilled her dream of sailing around the world on a yacht.After entering the royal family, she had to give up her career and hobbies, and try her best to be a qualified mother of the country.

Unexpectedly, this person who finally made up his mind to leave the sea died in a shipwreck.

After Rong Zheng's father passed away, the queen could not accept this fact for a long time.In the third month after the late emperor passed away, she flew overseas with a few personal attendants.

The accident happened at sea. On that day, the yacht driven by the Queen hit a rock and capsized at sea. The remaining seven entourages on board were all rescued safely by the escort ship, and only the Queen was missing.

Ten years after the first queen disappeared, the royal family finally gave up the search and announced her death to all walks of life.The authorities also launched a rigorous investigation into the accident. After several years of investigation, various agencies including the East Palace gave the same answer—the death of the queen was an accident.

Today, the empress brought up this matter again, there must be deep meaning.

After coming out of Yaoqing Palace, Rong Zheng has been thinking about what the empress said just now.Instead of going back to the East Palace, he changed his way to Aurora Media.

When he arrived at the group park, Rong Zheng suddenly remembered that Fu Yiwen was no longer there.

The lights in the chief engineer's office were still on, and this room belonged to Wei Ran after Fu Yiwen left.The decoration and furnishings in the office did not change at all, and it still maintained the appearance of Fu Yiwen before his death.

The moment Rong Zheng pushed the door and entered, he seemed to see Fu Yiwen sitting under the lamp.

"His Royal Highness?"

"Fu Yiwen" at the desk heard the movement and raised his head, revealing Wei Ran's face.Wei Ran didn't expect the crown prince to visit suddenly, so he stopped the pen in his hand and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

Wei Ran originally thought that his greatest wish in this life was to get rid of Fu Yiwen and return to his own life track.Now Fu Yiwen could no longer control him, instead he lived himself like that person.

He goes to work on time, works hard, and lives the same life every day, as if he intends to spend his whole life on this.

Facing Wei Ran like this, Rong Zheng didn't know where to start.He also didn't know why he came here after leaving Yaoqing Palace, everything about Zhong Yu was too bizarre, he thought no one could give him the answer.

Wei Ran was confused by the prince's reaction, Rong Zheng's current state was obviously not quite right, he temporarily put down his work, came to Rong Zheng, and asked, "What happened?"

Rong Zheng came to Fu Yiwen's favorite single chair and sat down, pondered for a moment, and finally asked Wei Ran: "Have you heard of Brahma Fire?"

Wei Ran was stunned by this question, and he was slightly startled, unable to answer.He knew hydrogen flames, acetylene flames, but never what Brahma fire was.

At this time, he heard Rong Zheng ask again: "Do you believe that ordinary human beings can live forever after being repeatedly tempered by the Brahma fire?"

Perhaps it was Rong Zheng's endless questions that reminded Wei Ran of Fu Yiwen, who was obsessed with seeking immortality, and the expression on his face suddenly softened.

Wei Ran temporarily put aside the mountain of work at hand, dragged a chair and sat down opposite Rong Zheng, and asked patiently, "Where did you hear about these things?"

Since the conversation had already started, there was no half of the truth in it, Rong Zheng relayed to Wei Ran what the Empress had said to him.

The Queen's guess is correct, Rong Zheng will not easily believe her rhetoric, because of his character, he will definitely check it out himself.Many things have passed for many years, but there are still traces to follow.It's just that the series of events surrounding the identity of "National Teacher" are too mysterious to investigate from a normal angle.

Rong Zheng didn't even know who he could entrust this task to.

After hearing Rong Zheng's words, Wei Ran concluded, "You mean that Marquis of Jingnan, the national teacher Zhong Yu, not only survived after being burned for seven thousand days by the so-called Brahma fire, but also possessed special abilities. , never grow old and never die?"

From Wei Ran's tone, Rong Zheng could also sense how absurd what he said was. Anyone who heard it would think that either he was crazy or the prince was crazy.

"I'll just say that casually." Rong Zheng also felt a little ridiculous for a moment, actually talking about this with Wei Ran.A sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him, and he didn't have the energy to continue exploring.

Rong Zheng stood up and said, "I won't bother you anymore, just pretend I haven't been here today."

After speaking, he was ready to leave for the palace.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you something." Wei Ran immediately stood up and stopped him.

What Wei Ran wanted to show Rong Zheng was the memory card that Rong Rong didn't even ask for the password after all the fuss.Wei Ran took the memory card out of the safe and inserted it into the computer, and entered the password without hesitation in front of Rong Zheng.

What is stored in the memory card is Fu Yiwen's lifelong scientific research results. Wei Ran showed these to Rong Zheng at this time, of course he didn't want to use science to cleanse the prince's heart that was poisoned by feudal superstition.

He skillfully entered one password after another, and finally opened a folder. It turned out that this memory card contained not only Fu Yiwen's scientific research results.

"Perhaps it's not a coincidence. Some time before the teacher passed away, he conducted research on 'National Teacher'." As he spoke, Wei Ran clicked the mouse and opened an article among the dense pile of materials.

This is a paper written by Fu Yiwen, which has more than 2 words.The article takes the current national teacher Zhong Yu as the starting point, and makes a research on the official position of "National Teacher" in the history of Dasheng.

Most of the records about the national division in history were destroyed because of the palace coup 200 years ago, and there is not a single word in the official history.But Fu Yiwen came up with a bold conjecture by studying many historical materials such as unofficial history, folklore, literary and artistic works, cultural relics and historic sites.

Dasheng's national teacher was held by the same person in certain specific periods in ancient times.

Leaving aside whether this conclusion is tenable, there is a big problem involved. The time periods proposed by Fu Yiwen span a hundred years. If a person lived for such a long time, he would have broken through the limit of human life. limit.

So Fu Yiwen pointed out in the article: This person is not human, and has abilities beyond ordinary people.

I thought that Fu Yiwen also did research on history, but I didn't expect to go around and go back to his "old business".

In order to support this point of view, Fu Yiwen quoted a legend in the paper.Legend has it that the first emperor of Dasheng, that is, Taizong Rong Jiuge, was the son of a god who went down to save the common people.Modern scholars generally regard this story as an imperial legend, in order to consolidate the supremacy of imperial power.

But few people know that there is still a second half of this old-fashioned emperor legend.

The second half of this paragraph is only circulated in a small area of ​​the capital, and it is said that the fire from the sky will send the destined person to the world to assist the emperor.

In this way, the fire that fell from the sky is somewhat like Brahma fire.

Rong Zheng carefully read the historical materials Fu Yiwen used to prove it, and asked: "If there is such a person, his ability is far superior to that of ordinary people, why would he be willing to be controlled by the royal family?"

"The teacher put forward a concept similar to 'earth bound spirit' in the article. This person is powerful but has no freedom, and there are many constraints." Wei Ran scrolled the mouse and dragged the article to the second half: "The royal family created him, and at the same time He can be restrained and controlled by a certain method. As for the method, the teacher did not explain, and perhaps he does not know."

After reading the whole article, both of them fell silent.This thesis of Fu Yiwen can be highly summed up by the words "unconstrained, nonsense." These eight words.But Fu Yiwen's absurd words corresponded one by one with what the queen said.

Even if this article is circulated, no matter who reads it, they will probably just laugh it off, and it is impossible to take it seriously.But Fu Yiwen kept it in a highly confidential memory card together with the most important scientific research results, which shows that Fu Yiwen's attitude towards this matter is not simple.

The Empress once said that Zhong Yu entered the East Palace to find the "Spirit of God", and Rong Zheng asked again: "In the translation, is there any record about...Spirit of Soul?"

"What is the soul?" Wei Ran asked back.

"I don't know exactly what it is." Rong Zheng looked at the screen again: "It is said that it can maintain body functions without aging, and it has something to do with maintaining special abilities."

"A 'person' can 'live' for such a long time, it probably needs a certain kind of energy source to maintain it." Wei Ran tried to think about the problem with Fu Yiwen's way of thinking: "It's not impossible."

Rong Zheng gave a soft "hmm", and his whole body became obviously depressed. He received too much information today, and it was difficult for anyone to accept it for a while.

Rong Zheng's visit today may not be to prove why Zhong Yu came from the beginning to the end.He just wants to get an answer - Ye Zhaoling is Ye Zhaoling, he is just an Internet celebrity who got into the eyes of money, he has not been tortured by any bullshit Brahma fire, and he has never made waves alone for a hundred years.

It's a pity that even if there is no scientific theory to prove that Ye Zhaoling is an existence spanning a hundred years, he can't lie to himself with all the past in front of him.

When Rong Zheng returned to the palace, Wei Ran sent him outside the gate of the research center.Before leaving, Wei Ran asked: "Your Highness, if the teacher's guess is true, he is not a human being in a strict sense. After knowing this, are you afraid of him?"

Rong Zheng was questioned by Wei Ran. He admitted that his feelings for Ye Zhaoling were very complicated, but he never thought of being afraid.

How could he not be alone?He has felt his breath and heard his heartbeat. In Rong Zheng's view, he is a living person.

In the end, Rong Zheng still didn't answer Wei Ran's question, and went back to the palace directly under the escort of the special service.On the way back to the dormitory, he inevitably passed Ye Zhaoling's room.

Ye Zhaoling was still unconscious. To be on the safe side, Rong Zheng asked someone to transfer him back to the East Palace and temporarily settle him in the original dormitory.The door of a room separated from the living room was heavily guarded by soldiers, and when the special agents with live ammunition saw Rong Zheng passing by, they stood in place and saluted him.

Rong Zheng nodded slightly, and pushed open the door of his room without looking sideways.

There is a jigsaw puzzle in a conspicuous place of the room, on which is Monet's sea.The jigsaw puzzle of [-] pieces is almost complete, leaving only one blank in the center.

A piece of azure blue jigsaw puzzle is lying on the table alone, it seems to have accidentally dropped from the picture, and it seems that a person left his heart here and waited silently for a long time.

The last farewell in the study that day seemed to have happened in a previous life. Times have changed, things have changed, and the two people who came back here have been pushed to both ends of the balance.

Rong Zheng stepped forward and gently picked up the small fragment.He held the pieces in front of his eyes and looked at them quietly for a while, then waved his sleeves and swept the whole puzzle to the ground.

There was a sound of "crash", and the picture that had been put together with great difficulty fell to pieces the moment it hit the ground.

Rong Zheng stepped over the mess on the ground without changing his expression, and he repacked himself into a cold and hard shell. Only in this way can he keep walking soberly.

At this time, news came from outside the door that Jingnan Hou woke up.
