Silence.
There was complete silence.
Time seemed to have stopped in the entire space.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji stared at Zhu Zhanyi and his bleeding hand with complicated expressions.
Zhu Gaochi's expression was still a little anxious. He reached out to take the branch from Zhu Zhan Xin's hand, but he was afraid that it would make the injury on his hand worse.
"Zhanjiu, let go of me first. What's with your hands?”Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice.
No matter what the meaning behind this branch was, Zhu Gaochi could not watch Zhu Zhanxin's hand bleeding like this.
Zhu Zhanyi shook his head in response to Zhu Gaochi, but his gaze never left Zhu Di.
"Royal grandfather, can your grandson share his thoughts?”
Zhu Di's gaze was also complicated.
After all, this was not a simple branch.
If one had to talk about the big picture, this could even be said to be the early handover of the throne between Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi.
The thorns on it referred to Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Di left the thorns for Zhu Gaochi to take this branch to tell him that if he insisted on pleading for Zhu Gaoxu, it would be equivalent to leaving these thorns on the throne.
But now, this thing was snatched by Zhu Zhan Xin. What was going on?
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanyi's bleeding hand, but he still held onto the branch. He hesitated for a moment and said,""Tell me."
Zhu Zhan Xin did not let go of the tree branch and said directly,""Imperial Grandfather, your grandson thinks that there's no need to investigate this matter anymore.”
The few of them were stunned. They did not expect Zhu Zhanxin to suddenly say this.
Especially Zhu Di. After all, Zhu Di had only asked Zhu Zhanxin to investigate this matter last night.
In fact, if Zhu Gaoxu hadn't asked to see Zhu Zhanyu after he left, today's incident wouldn't have happened.
It was precisely because of Zhu Gaoxu's actions that Zhu Di was so furious that he came to the Monk Record Temple and summoned them over.
However, it was precisely because of this that Zhu Gaoxu was able to get Zhu Gaochi and the others to plead for mercy.
Otherwise, when Zhu Zhan Xin investigated the matter and the truth came to light.
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't escape, and the only way left was to be thrown into the imperial prison.
For a moment, he didn't know if this was a blessing or a curse.
Zhu Zhan Xin continued to explain,"When the time comes, whether it is true or not, there will be no benefit."”
"If it's Second Uncle, then it's a loss of face for my Zhu Clan. If it's not, then it's also a loss of face for my Zhu Clan.”
"In that case, there's no need to investigate.”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't end well in the end.”
"Once we start investigating, there will be many things involved. It's hard to guarantee that not a single bit of information will be leaked.”
"So I thought that instead of continuing to investigate, it would be better to give him a warning.”
"We just need to avoid similar things happening again.”
Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhanxin and did not speak for a moment.
After a long time, Zhu Di finally spoke, but he asked a question that had nothing to do with what Zhu Zhanxin had said.
"Zhan Jue, do you know what this branch means?”
Hearing this.
Zhu Zhanji's heart trembled.
Zhu Di's question was not easy to answer.
Originally, the branch in Zhu Di's hand had the meaning of handing over the imperial power to Zhu Gaochi in advance. That was why Zhu Di wanted Zhu Gaochi to take this branch and let Zhu Gaoxu go.
However, this branch, which had a hint of the throne and imperial power, was taken by Zhu Zhanyu…
Zhu Zhanxin's expression did not change as he met Zhu Di's gaze.
"Imperial Grandfather, no matter what this branch means, the most important thing now is Second Uncle's matter.”
"Moreover, Imperial Grandfather!"
"No matter what happens in the future, our surname is still Zhu!”
Zhu Di's eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhu Zhanshi's bleeding hand and then at Zhu Gaochi.
"Boss, what do you think?"
Zhu Gaochi was still a little confused at this time. Zhu Zhanshi's sudden charge had really stunned him.
Moreover, Zhu Zhanxin's hand was still bleeding.
When Zhu Di asked, he quickly agreed," Yes, your son thinks that what Zhan Xi said is right.”
Zhu Di sighed slightly and remained silent for a moment.
Zhu Gaochi's heart was beating fast. He did not know what Zhu Di was planning.
He looked at Zhu Zhanyi's hand and reached out his fat hand to touch Zhu Zhanyi's wrist. He frowned and said," Zhanyi, let go first."”
Zhu Zhanxin did not let go as he was told and continued to look at Zhu Di.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards around them were silent.
Especially the Jinyiwei who had been called to throw Zhu Gaoxu into the imperial prison, now stood back in his original position.
However, they looked at Zhu Zhan Xin with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
The Fifth Imperial Sun was younger than them, but he was not afraid of the Emperor's pressure at all.
Facing such a thorny branch, he held it without even frowning.
He had originally thought that these princes and grandsons were pampered and spoiled, but he did not expect the Fifth Imperial Sun to be so courageous.
At the very least, if they were Zhu Zhanyu, they would never dare to take the branch in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanyi, who was still holding the branch tightly in his hand even though he had lost so much blood, and then looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was kneeling on the ground in shock.
He released his grip on the branch and sighed."Let go."
"Then Imperial Grandfather…"
Zhu Di randomly selected a Jinyiwei and ordered,""Tell the King of Han that there are some things that I don't want to see again!”
"This opportunity was begged for by his brother and nephew!”
Hearing this.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately followed the order and walked out.
Zhu Gaochi was also relieved.
Zhu Zhan Xin released the branch, but at this time, the sharp thorns had already pierced into his flesh. Moreover, there were too many sharp thorns that had pierced into his flesh. For a moment, he actually hung on Zhu Zhan Xin's hand.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi's fat face wrinkled even more.
He carefully plucked the branch off, and the place where Zhu Zhanshi was holding it was already dyed red with blood.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Di didn't say anything more. He waved his hand." Let's go, all of you."”
Zhu Zhanji stood up and walked with Zhu Gaochi on either side of Zhu Zhanyi.
Especially Zhu Gaochi, who pretended to hold Zhu Zhanxin's hand. After being rejected by Zhu Zhanxin, he could not help but say,"Hurry up and go back and apply the medicine. Why don't you look at the thorns on it? Can you just take it with your hands?”
"What if these thorns break inside?”
Zhu Zhan Xin felt a little warm in his heart, but he didn't refute and just let Zhu Gao Chi lecture him.
He was able to settle down so quickly in Da Ming because this was a dynasty that was familiar to him in history. There was a sense of strangeness, but it was not completely unfamiliar.
The other reason was Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji.
Although he was in the royal family and had already decided to fight for the throne with Zhu Zhanji, he had been showing off his abilities these days.
However, they still treated him very well. They did not stand on the opposite side of him as Zhu Zhan Xin had thought.
This was what Zhu Zhan Xin did not expect the most.
They walked out of the room.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanshi were silently watching Zhu Zhanshi's bleeding hands, their expressions extremely complicated.
However, before they could take a few steps, they suddenly bumped into Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.
