Empress Ma's face was frosty when she said this, and her tone was so cold that ice shards fell off.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong!
Empress Ma was the mother of the world and had always been praised by the world as the model of a gentle and virtuous woman!
Because she couldn't stand seeing Old Zhu kill his officials, she went on a hunger strike to protest.
It could be seen that Empress Ma's kindness was not just for show.
However, this also depended on the matter.
What Old Zhu said involved Little Zhu Che.
If there was really someone plotting behind the scenes, causing her and her son to be separated for fourteen years…
Empress Ma would never show mercy when she killed people!
Back then, she had fought with Old Zhu and had seen blood on her hands.
Kindness did not mean that she would not kill!
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Mother, are you up yet?" Zhang Che's voice traveled into the small courtyard.
Mr. Zhu opened the door and saw Zhang Che carefully holding a bowl of porridge, standing at the door.
"Father, why are you so early today?"
Zhang Che was a little surprised to see Old Zhu.
Zhang Che mistook Old Zhu and Zhu Biao for his father and brother. Naturally, he was curious about the two of them not going home after returning.
However, Old Zhu lied, saying that he had something to do in the camp and couldn't stay at home.
Zhang Che didn't know much about these things, so he was fooled by him.
Upon hearing Zhang Che's words, Mr. Zhu's face immediately fell.
Why did this kid's words make people so angry?
Instantly, Old Zhu forgot about his excitement after confirming Zhang Che's identity yesterday. Instead, he said in a bad mood,""Why? Do you despise me?”
Zhang Che hurriedly said," Of course not! I'm so happy that you can come home more often when you have time, Dad!"”
Hearing that, Mr. Zhu's heart warmed. He was about to say something to Zhang Che.
He didn't expect this kid to carefully carry the bowl and walk past him without looking sideways.
"Mother, this is the lotus seed porridge I just made. Drink it while it's hot!”
Empress Ma's eyes reddened again when she heard Zhang Che's words.
"Mother, you are bored in the house and want to come out for a walk. It is best to wait until noon. It's cold in the morning. You're weak now, so you don't dare to suffer the wind.”
Zhang Che walked to Empress Ma's side and naturally held her arm, pulling her into the house.
As they walked, they chattered.
This time, Old Zhu's face darkened even more.
She thought about how Zhang Che was being perfunctory to her just now, and then looked at how he was taking care of Empress Ma in every possible way.
Old Zhu was both angry and amused.
He didn't enter the house, not wanting to disturb Empress Ma and Zhang Che's time alone.
Not long after, they saw Zhang Che walking out of the house with an empty bowl.
Seeing that Old Zhu was still standing at the door, he quickly walked over.
"Father, have you thought about what I said two days ago?”Zhang Che asked quietly.
Mr. Zhu was taken aback. Zhang Che had talked about too many things in the past two days, to the point that Mr. Zhu couldn't react in time to what he was talking about.
"Father, you have to make a decision early! These two days, the matter of Blue Jade's breakthrough spread throughout the Ying Tian Prefecture. Even the people in the manor knew about it. Lan Yu was so arrogant, sooner or later she would be killed. Now, you should believe me, right?"
Zhang Che couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Old Zhu's confused look.
Realization dawned on Mr. Zhu, and he looked at Zhang Che speechlessly.
"Why are you always thinking about going to Zhu Di?”
Zhang Che shook his head, saying helplessly,""Father, this is the work of a dragon! If we cling onto this thigh, our Zhang family will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. At least we will be rich for several generations. Aren't you tempted?”
Yesterday, the rumor of Blue Jade's breakthrough had already spread in the manor.
This gave Zhang Che a sense of urgency.
After all, he did not study history in his previous life. He only had some memories of the early Ming Dynasty.
However, other than some major events, he definitely did not have the ability to accurately match every event with the specific time.
However, if he remembered correctly, Emperor Hongwu became even more dissatisfied with him after the Blue Jade Breakthrough.
In another four or five years, Zhu Biao would pass away due to illness.
In the second year after Zhu Biao's death, Lan Yu would be cleared by Old Zhu, and even the military generals under Zhu Biao would be wiped out.
Although Zhu Di only ascended the throne ten years after Zhu Biao's death.
However, in Zhang Che's eyes, Zhu Di's true power came after Zhu Biao passed away.
If he wanted to obtain the skill of following the dragon, naturally, the earlier the better.
Naturally, Old Zhu wouldn't agree to Zhang Che's request. He smiled and said,""It's still too early to talk about this. Besides, even if I go to Zhu Di, he won't accept me!”
Mr. Zhu was teasing Zhang Che, but what he really meant was that Zhu Di wouldn't dare to.
What a joke, how could there be a reason for an emperor to seek refuge with a prince's son?
However, Zhang Che misunderstood. He thought that Old Zhu felt that his position was too small, and that Zhu Di didn't like him.
"Father, don't worry. I have the art of salt making and I know the art of iron making. Moreover, I've also come up with a way to improve firearms. As long as Zhu Di trusts you, I can even help him build a cannon with a range of more than a thousand meters!”
Instantly, Old Zhu was dumbfounded.
