Huang Zicheng knelt on the ground with a thud. His entire body was drenched in cold sweat. Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said,
"Your Majesty is wise, this lowly official has no such intentions. As the Eastern Palace's study companion, this lowly official wouldn't dare to slander His Highness the Crown Prince even if I had thousands of guts!”
"Alright, Corey, you've already revealed your fox tail. Don't hide it.”
Zhu Xiong waved his hand and deliberately said to the people around the imperial prison,"
"You still want to pretend in front of my father with such a small trick? Not to mention this king, even these prisoners have long seen through it!”
As soon as Zhu Rong said this, the corners of the surrounding prisoners 'mouths curled up. They hated Huang Zicheng to the bone just a second ago, so they naturally wouldn't let go of this great opportunity.
"His Highness the King of Qin is right. Huang Zicheng did have the intention of slandering His Highness the Crown Prince!”
"Hmph, this Huang Zicheng. I knew he was dishonest before I came in.”
"Emperor, Huang Zicheng is the most treacherous official of our dynasty. He must be executed by a thousand cuts!”
"Deal with him!"
“…………”
Countless words came one after another. All of them wanted Huang Zicheng to die without a burial place. As a result, Huang Zicheng's mind was already blank at this moment. Cold sweat dripped down his face. He could not even say a single word to excuse himself.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already dissatisfied with Huang Zicheng, and the killing intent in his heart grew stronger and stronger when he heard what everyone said.
However, at the thought of uprooting all the ministers who opposed the enfeoffment of the vassal kings, Zhu Yuanzhang could actually suppress his killing intent. He first waved his hand to stop the prisoners from making any noise before looking at Huang Zicheng and saying,
"We know what you are thinking. You won't slander Biao 'er, but…"
At this point, without waiting for Huang Zicheng to thank him, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed the topic.
"A mere study companion of the Eastern Palace is really sharp-tongued. With just a few words, he can cause public anger in the prison.”
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhao Erhu. Just as he was about to give an order, Zhu Xiong had already rolled up his sleeves and the corners of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile.
"There's no need, Father. I'll do it."
Seeing this, Huang Zicheng instinctively covered half of his swollen face. Thinking of the fear of being dominated by Zhu Xi, his pupils immediately constricted into the shape of needles.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Forgive me, Your Majesty. How can I trouble him?"
"It's okay. I don't mind."
Zhu Xiong shook his head with a sinister smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to stop Zhu Rong, but after hearing what Huang Zicheng said, he didn't want Zhao Erhu to come forward.
He even crossed his arms and tilted his head to look behind him, wanting to see how his second son would teach Huang Zicheng a lesson.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Rong reached into his pocket and took out six dice. He smiled at Huang Zicheng and said,"
"Come, open your mouth!"
Your Highness, I was wrong."
Huang Zicheng's entire body trembled as he hurriedly begged for mercy.
Zhu Rong ignored him. While Huang Zicheng was talking, he reached out and pinched his face. Then, he placed the six dice into Huang Zicheng's mouth one after another.
"Uh…uh…"
Huang Zicheng grabbed Zhu Rong's arm with both hands, his eyes wide open. As the die was thrown in, his mouth gradually became round, but he did not dare to spit or swallow.
Facing Huang Zicheng's fearful gaze, Zhu Rong grabbed Huang Zicheng's collar and raised his right hand. He breathed into his palm and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Upon seeing this, the prisoners in the imperial prison grinned and shouted in unison,"
" Your Highness, deal with him!!!"
With a loud slap, Zhu Rong mustered all his strength and swung his arm, slapping the other half of Huang Zicheng's face.
"Puff!"
Under this gravity, the six dice in Huang Zicheng's mouth collided with each other, directly breaking two of his big front teeth. A stream of blood immediately spurted out from his mouth.
Six blood-stained dice and two big front teeth fell to the ground with a clang. Corey's scream instantly resounded throughout the entire prison.
"Ah!"
"Hmph!"
Seeing Huang Zicheng twitching on the ground in pain, Zhu Xi clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction.
Little brat, fight with me, this king won't kill you!
"Alright, alright, we've already fought. Is your big brother here or not?”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand tiredly. At this moment, he was already sleepy. He looked at Zhu Rong and said.
"Not here."
Zhu Rong said without blushing or panting.
"Not here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Rong doubtfully."
"Really?"
"Aiya, Dad, why would I lie to you?”
Zhu Rong shrugged his shoulders and took a step forward. He pointed at Huang Zicheng, who was twitching on the ground, and said,
"Just like Huang Zicheng, if I said that he harbored evil intentions, he harbored evil intentions. If not for that, Father, you wouldn't have asked me to take action!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed as he looked deeply at Zhu Rong.
This unfilial child seemed to be really different from before!
"It's over, it's over. What should we do?”
When Madam Chang heard that Zhu Biao wasn't here, she instantly panicked and her beautiful eyes quickly filled with tears.
"His Highness the Crown Prince isn't with Second Brother, nor is he in the palace. Then where did he go?”
"This…"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and suppressed his doubts about Zhu Xiong. He was also worried about Zhu Biao.
Seeing this, Zhao Erhu and Chen Hong hurriedly stepped forward."
"Emperor, this is a serious matter, mobilize the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
"And all the eunuchs and serving girls in the palace, this old servant will do it now!”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed faintly. Although his expression did not change much, he was already feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Sigh, alright. No matter what the price is, we must find Biao.”
"This child, where can she run off to in the middle of the night?”
Seeing this, Zhu Rong was finally relieved. He hurriedly cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said,
"Father, the sky is already dark. You should quickly go and find big brother. Don't waste time here.”
"Good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Rong with a gratified expression.
After so many years, this unfilial son finally said something human. His earnest teachings were not in vain. It seemed that it was not impossible for a prodigal son to turn over a new leaf!
"You should sleep early too. Don't worry about your brother. He won't…"
With a creak, Zhu Yuanzhang was patting Zhu Rong's shoulder to express his fatherly love to his second son for the first time. The door of the small cell behind them was quickly pushed open.
Zhu Biao walked out with Journey to the West in his hands. Even now, he did not lift his head. His eyes were still on the book, but his face was filled with excitement.
"Haha…Second brother, your book is really good!”
" Especially this time, the real Monkey King. You're the real Monkey King and I'm the fake Monkey King. No, I'm the real Monkey King and you're the fake Monkey King…Haha…"
