When Gu Tan walked down the stairs of the underground secret passage and came to a secret room underground, he was dumbfounded when he found that there was a special identity verification mechanism.

Since the map of the secret passage drawn on the golden handkerchief she got before did not mention this identity verification mechanism that seemed impossible to crack at all, she didn't think of a countermeasure to crack it in advance, which meant that Gu Tan was likely to come for nothing.

But she is really unwilling, after all, if she misses this time, she will never have a chance to sneak into the palace again, and if she can't get the Fengming Golden Bead smoothly this time, and use the magical power of the Fengming Golden Bead to transform her bloodline immediately when she goes home, then a year later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not meet the show girl selection competition held by the palace, and she will not be able to participate in the election as the noble identity of the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden.

Then she will definitely have no chance with the crown princess, this is definitely not a result that she can accept, because she became the crown princess, and even wanted to become the queen mother above ten thousand people under one person in the future, in order to avenge the grandmother who died in vain in the past.

Because revenge is the top priority in her heart, if she is not bent on avenging her grandmother, the so-called noble status of the queen mother is actually meaningless to her.

The reason why she didn't even look at this incomparably noble queen mother in the eyes of mortals was because she had a very special dream eight years ago, in which she met a legendary grandmother recorded in the family genealogy.

And this grandmother told Gu Tan about her legendary life in a dream.

It turned out that this grandmother entered the palace thousands of years ago, and after intriguing court struggles, she finally became the imperial concubine second only to the queen's mother.

Although her status at that time was lower than that of the queen mother, in the eyes of His Majesty at that time, she was far beyond the queen mother.

It's just that the queen mother was the granddaughter of a sister of the queen mother's friend of life and death at that time, and that sister also saved the life of the queen mother, so when the queen mother was dying of this sister, she personally promised to keep her most beloved granddaughter queen mother for the rest of her life, so the extremely filial majesty did not forcibly abolish the queen, and Ligu Qin's grandmother was the new queen mother.

Originally, Gu Tan's grandmother never thought that she had to be a queen, as long as Her Majesty put her first in her heart, she would have no regrets in her life.

In fact, at that time, everyone in the palace could see that there was only one woman who His Majesty loved the most, and that was Gu Tan's grandmother.

Just by virtue of the fact that His Majesty spent a huge amount of wealth and built an unprecedented luxurious Snow Lotus Palace for Gu Tan's grandmother in the best position in the palace, it can explain all this.

The reason why His Majesty used the rare 10,000-year-old ice in the world, and spent a huge amount of gold to invite all kinds of strange people to build such a luxurious palace that was extremely cold, was mainly because Gu Tan's grandmother had a strange disease since she was a child.

That is, she is extremely afraid of heat, but she is not afraid of cold at all, as long as it is a little hot, she will have countless blood and sweat all over her body, her skin will crack, and after a long time, she will fall into a coma.

But as soon as she is soaked in cold water, or lying on ice, she will quickly return to normal.

At first, the disease lasted for a short time, only lasting half an hour at midnight, and the family did not pay much attention to it, thinking that when they grew up and their physique improved, maybe they would be better.

But I didn't expect it to become more and more serious as I got older.

Later, as the onset of the disease became longer and longer, and it became that the family realized the seriousness of the problem when they had to soak in cold water from midnight to midnight.

However, I searched all kinds of famous doctors in the north and south of the country, but to no avail, I didn't expect that these miracle doctors in the eyes of the world would be helpless against her strange disease.

In this regard, she herself is a little desperate, and she doesn't want to see her father and mother scared for her all day long, and she knows that if this continues, her condition will only get worse and worse, and she will not be able to escape a dead word in the end.

So when I saw my father and mother being haggard, and spending a lot of money to visit famous doctors all day long for her, I also felt that I was really a burden on the family, and if it continued like this, it would not only exhaust the family's wealth, but also maybe even cause my father and mother to fall ill, which would be really unfilial.

Therefore, on a dark night when it was so cold that everyone would rather hide at home to roast on the fire, or sleep warmly under the covers than go out, she ran away from home alone.

Despite the bitter cold wind outside, the snow was flying and the ice was biting, but she felt very comfortable, as if someone else was strolling in the wind and sunshine, and walked into the deep mountains and old forests.

Her idea was simple: instead of making her family sad at home and suffering powerlessly, she would be left to fend for herself in this isolated mountain forest.

It is said that long pain is better than short pain, she has had enough of such days, and she no longer wants to live like this hopeless.

When she walked into the deep mountains and old forests without hesitation, although she didn't feel cold, she knew that she wouldn't live long, because there was nothing to eat in the snowy barren mountains and mountains, and how long could she last.

Just as she walked aimlessly, she saw a young man covered in blood at the foot of a mountain, and from the situation at the scene, it should be a person who had unfortunately fallen from the mountain.

Seeing that the blood on his body was frozen, and she tried the other party's snort again, she thought that this man must be dead, but when Gu Tan's grandmother was about to drag the other party to a pit next to her, kindly bury him, and then leave, she didn't expect that the man suddenly had a finger move.

Suddenly, Gu Tan's grandmother knew that this man was not dead, but on this coldest night at midnight, it was a barren mountain and a wild mountain, and it was impossible for her to find someone to save this man.

And she could feel that if she didn't warm this man in time, he would definitely die.

What to do! For a while, she was helpless and extremely entangled.

If she saved him, she would have to find a sheltered cave and build a fire to save the man's life.

But then she herself would have cracked all over her body from the heat of the fire, and eventually she would die of blood.

But if she doesn't save herself, she feels sorry for her conscience, and even if she dies, she will die with deep guilt.

After thinking about it, she decided that it was important to save the other party, anyway, she didn't plan to go back alive, she was starving to death, but now it has become a heat death, anyway, it's all death, what's the difference.

After thinking about all this, she immediately took action and dragged the man to a small tree hole nearby, because there was no cave nearby, and she couldn't drag the other party too far, but fortunately there was a thousand-year-old tree here, with an extremely thick waist, and the tree had withered a lot, turning into a hollow tree hole.

After dragging the man into the tree hole with all her strength, she hurriedly managed to light a fire, and blocked the entrance of the tree hole with her own coat to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.

After that, she stayed by the man's side, helping him move his hands and legs, treating the frozen wound as it melted, and bandaging it with the shreds of her own clothes.

After doing all this, she found that she had a lot of blood and sweat on her body, and her eyes were becoming more and more hazy, and she knew that if she continued like this, she would die of blood because the temperature in the tree hole was too high.

It's just that she doesn't care, when she sees the originally bloodless man's face has begun to become ruddy, she knows that the other party should be fine, and it is estimated that she will wake up in a while.

So she finally added some firewood to make sure that the fire would not go out for a short time, and then she fainted completely, and at that moment, she knew that she would never have a chance to wake up again.

However, she has no regrets, after all, she saved a life before she died, and she has no regrets.

But to her surprise, she actually woke up again in a haze.

It's just that her consciousness is already very blurred, and she knows that her body must be bleeding almost because of the temperature of the fire, although she wakes up, it is also a return to the light.

And she felt in a daze that someone around her seemed to be asking her something, originally she didn't want to answer, but she couldn't control her consciousness, but answered obediently.

Although she didn't know who the other party was, and the other party's voice sounded very unfamiliar, she still answered any questions from the other party without reservation, including how she got to this barren mountain and how she saved a strange man.

At that moment, she didn't seem to care, she was dying anyway, what secret was there.

She knew that no matter what she said, it would be her last words in this world, so she had no scruples.

I don't know how long she spoke, but she finally couldn't move, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she didn't continue to answer the other party's questions.

And the other party seemed to begin to talk about his own tragic experience, and Gu Tan's grandmother was also surprised when she learned that the other party was the Nine Emperor Princes who were hunted down and killed.

She didn't expect that the high-ranking prince also had the experience of being pushed off the cliff and almost dying in Huangquan.

And this assassination, it turned out to be his most trusted imperial brother, that is, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone here, it also made him extremely disheartened, and he was also very frustrated with himself as a prince, he really didn't like this kind of intriguing court life.

And she has heard many people talk about this Nine Emperor Princes, saying that he is very admired in the world, and he must be a generation of Ming monarchs in the future, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince currently set up by His Majesty is suspicious by nature, and cruel and willful, and the people of the world are not optimistic about this so-called prince, but sincerely look forward to the Nine Emperors being able to become the new Prince and ascend the throne as soon as possible for the benefit of the people.

Obviously, it was the voice of the people that angered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he sent a killer to kill the Nine Emperor Princes.

So she expressed deep sympathy, but also weakly encouraged the other party, since he is a prince and is deeply supported by the people, it means that he must be a good emperor who is suitable to be a king, then don't give up lightly, you must work hard to live, don't live up to the expectations of the people in the world for him.

He also said that if he had a good body, he would not die of a strange disease at such a young age, and if he was a man, he would definitely enter the palace to assist him in becoming a generation of kings.

Before she lost consciousness completely, she seemed to hear the other party ask her if she would be willing to enter the palace to assist him if he could cure her illness......
