“Do carps dream?”

The graceful woman was stunned when she heard that.

What did he mean by whether carps could dream? Also, why should carps dream?

Although she was a little lost, she still smiled patiently and said, “The carps in these lotus ponds are all high quality creatures personally chosen by His Majesty your father. Although they are not demon beasts, they still have a trace of the bloodline of the Flood Dragon Race. They can be said to be rare mutants, so they probably don’t dream.”

!!

The young 16th Prince listened with interest and used his two fair feet to smack the water surface, causing the carps inside to swim around in confusion.

Seeing this scene, the 16th Prince seemed quite happy. Then, he asked the woman, “Since they can be considered mutants, why does Her Majesty my mother say that these carps don’t dream?”

“Silly child, because this is the palace, all the carps that are kept in the lotus pond have been carefully selected. Other than being of good quality, they can only maintain their memories for seven breaths.”

When the graceful woman heard this, she could not help but shake her head and laugh. “Otherwise, if evil people make use of them, there might be a repeat of the episode eight years ago when so many people fainted in the entire palace.”

Eight years ago, there was a strange incident in the palace.

No one knew who the culprit was or what method he had used to make more than half the number of people in the palace faint overnight!

At that time, the emperor had personally ordered an investigation, but he did not manage to find much useful information.

Later on, as the aftermath of the fainting incident gradually subsided, this matter was simply left unsettled.

“Since they only have seven breaths of memory, the consciousness of these carps will always be blank, so it’s naturally impossible for them to dream.” At this point, the graceful woman suddenly stared at the young 16th Prince and said strangely, “My royal son, why are you suddenly asking these questions?”

“It’s nothing. I’m just suddenly a little curious. Her Majesty my mother, you don’t have to worry about me.”

The 16th Prince shook his head and a smile appeared on his young face.

The graceful woman only sighed. “My royal son, the imperial edict issued by your father is actually for your own good. In the eyes of the world, he is the most powerful emperor in the world. Even the four great clans—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise—have to bow down to your father. Your father’s current enemy…”

She paused at this point.

She stared at the young boy in front of her for a long time before pointing at the sky above her.

“It’s no longer in this world.”

“Her Majesty my mother, you’re obviously thinking too much. His Majesty my father’s cultivation is so powerful and he’s definitely the number one expert in the world. In the entire world, who would dare to go against His Majesty my father?”

Hearing what the woman said, the 16th Prince laughed heartily.

Seeing this, the woman did not continue speaking. Instead, she sighed with a slightly lonely expression and shook her head. “In short, don’t blame your father for being unreasonable. Your talent is weak and your cultivation is insufficient. He wants to chase you out of the capital because he wants you to stay away from a place full of disputes…”

“I know, I know. Anyway, it’s all for my own good—”

The 16th Prince nodded nonchalantly. “I understand the logic. Unfortunately, I’m just a useless person and can’t help His Majesty my father much.”

Hearing this, the graceful woman did not say anything else. Instead, she sighed again and gave a few more instructions to the 16th Prince before slowly leaving the imperial garden.

Only then did the 16th Prince narrow his eyes slightly.

“Dreams…”

It had to be said that the Lingyun Emperor had high hopes for him back then for a reason.

He was indeed born wise and intelligent. However, for the past 10 years, he had been having the same dream. In that dream, he was not the 16th Prince of Lingyun Kingdom, but a young man called Feng Xia.

He entered a great tomb called the Demon Imperial Tombs and stepped onto a secret treasure called the Heavenly Stairway.

And the so-called Heavenly Stairway had the magical effect of making people experience 10 years in a dream!

“Heh… How is that possible?”
