"Have you heard of the Yuanming Imperial Dynasty?" the Imperial Consort suddenly asked.
"The Yuanming Imperial Dynasty?"
Chu Hao and Chu Xinyan immediately sank into deep recollection.
Very quickly, Chu Hao raised his brows and instinctively said, "Mother Consort, are you referring to the Yuanming Imperial Dynasty that was jointly besieged by the Ten Great Imperial Dynasties five hundred years ago and suffered annihilation?"
The Imperial Consort nodded. "That's right, the Yuanming Imperial Dynasty that perished more than five hundred years ago."
"Back then, in this Land of a Hundred Dynasties, the Yuanming Imperial Dynasty's foundation and strength were fully enough to rank among the Ten Great Imperial Dynasties."
"At its peak, its prestige had blazed like the noonday sun. Even the King Realm experts of the Ten Great Imperial Dynasties feared it deeply."
"Unfortunately, the Yuanming Emperor was too arrogant. Thinking too highly of himself, he looked down on the Ten Great Imperial Dynasties and even humiliated them on many occasions. That was why he ultimately met such a miserable end."
Hearing the Imperial Consort say this, Chu Hao and Chu Xinyan both recalled something. The history books they had read recorded that the Yuanming Imperial Dynasty had been easily destroyed by the Ten Great Imperial Dynasties precisely because the Yuanming Emperor had thought too highly of himself, leaving him without allies.
"But Mother Consort, what does Yun Nianniang of the Cloud Mist Tower have to do with the Yuanming Imperial Dynasty?" Chu Hao could not help asking again.
"Yun Nianniang's true identity is a surviving orphan of the Yuanming Imperial Dynasty."
"She was once the Yuanming Princess, Si Nianyun," the Imperial Consort said.
"The Yuanming Princess!!"
Chu Hao and Chu Xinyan were utterly shaken, their pupils filled with shock.
They were not familiar with the Yuanming Imperial Dynasty,
