The death of his grandson was the most important matter in Ming Dynasty.
Now that such a big mistake had happened, the speed of the news transmission was as if it was a cheat.
All the "Dian" lanterns in the entire palace were removed.
The Imperial Academy of Medicine and the imperial kitchen were all busy.
The number of eunuchs and maids in the palace had decreased significantly.
In the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, Empress Ma lay on the sickbed and looked out the window with her eyes wide open.
These few days, Empress Ma had been feeling uneasy. She had a vague feeling that something big had happened.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who hadn't come to Earth Peace Palace for a few days.
Empress Ma asked the palace maid several times.
The palace maids stammered and refused to make a sound.
Today, the palace maids outside the door were even busier. Suddenly, a figure flashed across Ma Xiuying's mind.
That was Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are busy with state affairs. It's fine if you don't come.
Ever since the Crown Princess Consort Chang had passed away, Zhu Xiong Ying had been visiting Kun Ning Palace every three days.
Empress Ma thought again.
Zhu Xiong Ying had not been to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility for nearly a month. Every time he was asked about Zhu Xiong Ying's situation, both the eunuchs and the palace maids would stutter.
Zhu Yuanzhang only said that Zhu Xiongying had been punished by the teacher again, so he had to do his homework.
But what kind of homework could be done for a month!
Empress Ma's eyes reddened at the thought of her precious eldest grandson.
At this moment, Empress Ma's two personal palace maids were whispering to each other.
This time, Empress Ma couldn't hold it in anymore.
What are you two talking about?"
Empress Ma's voice was mixed with some surprise and anger.
He stared at the two palace maids.
"Empress, these servants didn't say anything…"
"Nonsense. Do you think I'm blind? These few days, everyone in the palace has been hiding it from me. What exactly happened? You're all women like me. If something big happened at home and I hid it from you, can you bear it?”
At this point, Empress Ma's words were already choked with sobs.
The two palace maids lowered their heads in silence.
Empress Ma's body trembled as she asked,
"If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. I'm sure it's because Chong Ba doesn't want you to tell me, so just nod or shake your head.”
Then, Empress Ma's body trembled as she asked,
"B-But something happened to Donggong Ying 'er?”
Empress Ma hit the nail on the head.
The two palace maids were stunned.
Seeing the expressions of the two palace maids, Empress Ma's heart thumped and her eyes turned red.
" Ying 'er…My Ying' er…"
For a moment, Empress Ma felt the world spin.
Seeing this, the two palace maids couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Niangniang, Niangniang, don't worry, it's not like that.”
"Yes, Empress."
When Empress Ma heard this, she slowly calmed down a little and asked through gritted teeth,
"Then what is it?"
"Niangniang, seven days ago, the emperor's grandson passed away. The emperor gave a death order to these servants, not allowing these servants to tell niangniang. He wanted to wait until niangniang's body was better.”
" But recently, there was a funeral for Taisun, and news suddenly came back that Taisun is fine and has woken up. He is now on his way back to the palace. The people in the palace are busy removing the funeral rites, and the imperial kitchen is preparing dinner…"
Empress Ma was stunned on the spot, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Really? Is Ying 'er alright?"
"Taisun should be fine, it's just that we don't know the details, but the funeral ceremony in the palace has indeed been removed.”
Empress Ma couldn't hold it in anymore.
He immediately stood up.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and change your clothes and prepare the carriage. I want to go to the Eastern Palace to take a look.”
A few palace maids immediately stepped forward and said,
"Empress, your body has not recovered yet, it's better to wait for the emperor to say…"
"The Zhu family is all the same. I won't wait for them. I can't sleep until I see Ying 'er today! Hurry up and change your clothes!"
"Yes!"
The few of them immediately got busy.
Empress Ma, who was originally seriously ill, had her illness reduced by more than half due to her love for her grandson.
A moment later, the group from Earth Tranquility Palace appeared outside the Eastern Palace.
Seeing that there were still many funeral ceremonies in the palace that had not been removed in time, Empress Ma believed the words of the palace maids.
However, without seeing Zhu Xiongying, how could Empress Ma be at ease?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's Dragon Carriage quietly entered his sight.
Empress Ma couldn't help but ask.
"Stop, stop!"
The phoenix carriage stopped immediately.
With the help of two palace maids, Empress Ma alighted from the carriage.
Then, a powerful voice called out," Zhu Zhongba ", reverberating through the palace walls.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was no one who dared to connect these three words, other than Empress Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
He immediately stuck his head out.
"Sister, why are you here? Are you feeling better? Aren't you making a mess?!"
Upon seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma could no longer suppress the anger in her chest.
"Zhu Zhongba! Where's Ying 'er? If anything happens to my Ying 'er today, I'll fight you to the death!”
"How dare you! Who told you that?"
"Why do you care who told me? I'm asking you, Ying 'er!"
Before Empress Ma finished her sentence, in the Dragon Carriage.
A childish voice sounded.
"Grandma!"
Empress Ma was stunned on the spot, and tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
