The twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.

The royal mausoleum on the outskirts of the capital.

Jiang Lin brought the Embroidered Uniform Guard to protect the entire imperial mausoleum.

"My sister is gone, my grandson is gone, and now even Biao'er is gone..."

"Why is our life so hard?"

"God...why do you treat us like this?"

In front of Zhu Biao's tomb, Zhu Yuanzhang cried inconsolably.

The last time I felt so sad was when Empress Ma passed away.

The old eunuch standing next to him immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to the dragon's body."

"I think the prince and queen would not want to see you like this."

There was no one around Zhu Yuanzhang except the old eunuch.

All the Jinyiwei kept a certain distance from Zhu Yuanzhang and turned their backs to him.

The emperor's current appearance was not something they could listen to, nor was it something they could see.

"Yunqi, tell me what I did wrong."

"We overthrew the brutal Yuan rule, restored the glory of our Han ancestors, and saved tens of millions of Han people."

"I am still the emperor, and I control the fate of the people of the world."

“We…we…”

"No matter how strong I am, I can't save my sister, and now I can't even save my daughter..."

"My God, what did I do wrong to deserve such cruelty on my part?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and roared, his heart breaking.

But soon he lowered his head helplessly and turned back into the father who lost his son.

The son whom I had held in my arms and taught with all my heart for so many years just left just like that.

The hope of the Ming Dynasty was gone just like that.

As a father and an emperor, he felt like the sky was falling.

Two hours later, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the ground.

"Yunqi, tell Erhu to go back to the palace."

He is not only a father, but also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and must be responsible for the people of the world.

......

Three miles away from the imperial tomb, there is a small river upstream.

An old eunuch placed a baby on a wooden basin, looked at the baby carefully, and then cruelly pushed the baby out.

"Princess, I'm sorry."

"I really cannot do anything that would harm the prince's bloodline."

He was originally a eunuch in the Prince's Eastern Palace, and had received favors from Zhu Biao. Two days ago, he followed the special order of the Crown Princess and went out of the palace to kill an expelled maid.

When he saw the palace maid, she had already become suspicious and had given birth to a baby boy. Looking at the young baby boy, his human nature prevented him from doing it.

After knowing that this was the blood of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, he found an opportunity to take the baby away and fled here.

The Crown Princess's men had been chasing him, and it was difficult for him to escape with the baby, so he had no choice but to decide to let the baby float away.

Although this action may cause the baby to drown.

But it's better than leaving the baby there to be discovered by the killer.

If you float down the river, there may be a glimmer of hope.

If you stay where you are, you will surely die.

"Whether you can survive depends on your luck."

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

Behind him were assassins sent by the Crown Princess, so he couldn't stay here for long.

Sitting on the wooden basin, Zhu Ming opened his eyes and saw the blue sky.

What you feel is the slowly flowing body.

"What is this place?"

“Why does it feel like I’m floating on water?”

"My hand...my hand..."

"Why did my body become like a baby's?"

Zhu Ming wanted to see what was going on, but was stunned to find that he had completely turned into a baby and was sitting in a wooden basin.

His eyes also noticed the situation outside the wooden basin.

At this moment, he was drifting on a small river, slowly drifting downstream.

"Am I... traveling through time?"

"And traveled through time and space as a baby?"

Based on the surrounding situation, Zhu Ming quickly determined his current situation.

He crossed over with a baby, who was floating on the river in a very dangerous situation.

If he encounters any obstacles or rocks, he will surely die.

The scenery nearby kept changing, but there was not a single living person in sight.

He was just a newborn baby and had no memories. He didn't even know what world he had traveled to or even his own identity.

"What do my cheap parents think?"

"What can I say? I am also a baby boy. Why are you just throwing me away like this?"

"Even if you don't like it, you can give it away. There's no need to kill it right away, right?"

"It's so hateful!"

Zhu Ming gritted his teeth in hatred, but found that he had no teeth at all.

He drifted along the river, feeling hungry and sleepy, and had no idea how long he would have to drift.

I don’t know what fate awaits me...

Was it an accidental death or was he lucky enough to be rescued?

If he doesn't meet anyone, he will starve to death even if nothing unexpected happens.

Fortunately, the weather was nice today, with clear skies and not a breath of wind.

The water flow is gentle and there are no ripples, so it is safe for the time being.

"It's no use floating down like this. I have to find a way to save myself."

"But I'm just a newborn baby, what can I do?"

Zhu Ming thought about it in his mind, but he had no idea at all.

A newborn baby can't do anything.

The only thing I can do... is to cry loudly.

When he thought of crying, Zhu Ming's eyes lit up.

Maybe making some noise would attract other people's attention.

wow... wow...

Zhu Ming, who had figured out a solution, immediately burst into tears.

The miserable cries echoed along both sides of the river.

"Listen... there seems to be a baby crying over there."

"I think I heard it too."

"Go over and see what's going on."

I don’t know how long I cried, but suddenly two male voices came from a distance.

When Zhu Ming heard someone talking, he cried even louder and more miserably.

This is his only chance to survive, he must not let it go.

"Look inside that tub. Is that a baby?"

"It's really a baby."

"Who is so cruel to put such a young child here?"

"Hurry up and save the people first."

As the two men spoke, they jumped into the river and swam towards Zhu Ming.

Soon, two dark faces appeared in front of Zhu Ming, and they were wearing the flying fish uniforms of the Jinyiwei.

"This little baby is so cute."

"Take it back first and we'll talk about it later."

The two men carried the wooden basin and carefully walked to the shore.

The man in eunuch's clothes on the shore saw Zhu Ming and said to the old man beside him: "Your Majesty, what a cute baby."

After being safe, Zhu Ming's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

At this moment, I could also hear clearly the conversation between several people.

His eyes subconsciously looked towards the old man, and he immediately saw that the old man was wearing a yellow robe embroidered with dragon patterns. His frowning face under his gray hair contained a majesty that was intimidating without even being angry.

"Your Majesty...dragon robe?"

"I was saved by an emperor?"
