Early the next morning, Zhu Di, who had tossed and turned the entire night and could not fall asleep, rushed to the Eastern Palace.
Zhu Biao was shocked when he saw Zhu Di and his dark circles.
"Fourth brother, what happened to you?" Zhu Biao asked with concern.
"Big Brother, I tossed and turned last night and didn't sleep at all.”Zhu Di said weakly.
Without waiting for Zhu Biao to ask, Zhu Di spilled the beans and told him about Zhu Yuanzhang summoning him last night.
"Big brother, my respect for you can be expressed by the heavens. Father suddenly asked me that question. To tell you the truth, I was shocked. Do you know what's going on?”Zhu Di asked with a sad face.
Zhu Biao immediately understood.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very suspicious, and Zhu Biao was very clear about it.
Clearly, he had taken Zhang Che's words to heart.
Moreover, the news in the military newspaper yesterday had shocked Zhu Yuanzhang greatly, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
It was very normal for him to specially call Zhu Di over to teach him a lesson.
However, in Zhu Biao's opinion, Zhang Che's claim that Zhu Di would rebel was complete nonsense.
The two brothers grew up together and were almost inseparable when they were young.
How could Zhu Biao not know how their relationship was?
Although Zhang Che was intelligent, emotions couldn't be judged rationally, after all.
This time, Zhang Che was definitely wrong.
Even though he understood it, Zhu Biao wouldn't say it out loud.
Zhu Biao saw how his mother, Empress Ma, treated Zhang Che.
The two of them were just short of burning incense to the heavens and directly acknowledging each other as relatives.
Zhu Yuanzhang had many adopted sons, but after he became the emperor, very few of his adopted sons were given a surname. Many people only had a verbal title and could not be counted.
At the end of the day, those adopted sons were just tools.
In this matter, the adopted son that Old Zhu acknowledged and the adopted son that Empress Ma acknowledged were two completely different concepts.
Not to mention, Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, not only didn't feel any dislike towards Zhang Che, he was even very close to him.
Although Zhang Che's position in his heart was definitely not as high as Zhu Di's, a brother he grew up with, for the time being.
However, as long as they were brothers, Zhu Biao shouldn't treat them differently, and he couldn't make them feel bad because of him.
Zhu Biao understood his fourth brother's personality.
Before Zhu Di became a vassal, he had gone to his hometown in Fengyang several times to train, so his character was very tough.
His vassal state, Yan Country, was located in the northern border of Ming Dynasty and was also responsible for guarding the border.
Strictly speaking, Zhu Di was a general and was decisive in killing.
If he really had a problem with someone, he would definitely not let it go easily.
"This matter is a long story and complicated, but it's definitely not what you think.”Zhu Biao patted Zhu Di's shoulder and comforted him.
"Is there really no villain slandering me behind my back?”Zhu Di blinked and asked.
"I promise you, it's definitely not! Besides, you have a clear conscience, so why are you afraid of rumors!”Zhu Biao said earnestly.
After being comforted by Zhu Biao for a long time, Zhu Di finally calmed down a little.
"By the way, Big Brother, yesterday, Imperial Father said that he wanted to bring me to a place. Do you know where to go?”Zhu Di changed the topic and asked.
"You'll know when you go. Later, Father might want to tell you something. You must listen carefully.”Zhu Biao waved his hand.
Soon, the two of them packed up and followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the carriage.
Because it was just the three of them going out today, there was no arrangement like yesterday's.
The three of them sat in a carriage. Compared to their status, it was definitely a light carriage.
This feeling was quite strange to Zhu Di.
He wanted to ask Zhu Biao several times, but when he looked up and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's dark face, he didn't dare to say anything.
It didn't take long before the carriage slowly came to a stop.
Zhu Di lifted the curtain and jumped down first.
In front of him was an ordinary courtyard.
Zhu Di looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded from behind him.
"Remember, don't call me father later. Call me uncle. When you see your mother, call her auntie, do you understand?”
Zhu Di was stunned.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang staring at him with bright eyes, he said somewhat aggrievedly,"Understood!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and walked in first.
"The owner of this courtyard is a divine doctor. His mother was ill, and the imperial physicians in the palace were helpless. Only he could cure her illness.”
Zhu Biao walked to Zhu Di's side and explained before entering the courtyard.
Zhu Di nodded subconsciously.
Then, he felt that something was wrong.
What does this matter have to do with what Imperial Father told me?
After thinking for a long time, he still could not understand.
Why did his father become his uncle and his mother become his aunt?
Did I do something wrong to make Imperial Father unhappy?
At this moment, his mind was in a mess. His mind was filled with ultimate questions like " Who am I?"," Where am I?", and " What am I going to do?"
Damn, I'm an orphan now?
The autumn morning in Jiangnan was still a little cold.
Zhu Di's expression was wooden as he looked at the rising sun in the sky. His gaze was deep as he was alone in the morning wind.
