Capital City, Duke Wei's Mansion.
"The palace wants to marry our family? The Empress has taken a fancy to me?"
Xu Miaoyun, who had a beauty that could topple a country, was looking at her father, Xu Da, in surprise.
Xu Da grunted softly, and his expression was not very good.
Xu Miaoyun asked softly,"
"Is it the King of Yan or the King of Zhou?"
Xu Da's face darkened. He slammed the table and said unhappily,
"A family banquet, a family banquet for ghosts!"
"From the moment that pot of roast goose was served, I knew that nothing good would come from preparing!”
"As expected, the Emperor is after you!”
"You still want to call him your own family? Fine, if he lets Zhou Wang come to our house to be our son-in-law, then we will acknowledge him as our own family!”
"Otherwise, there's no need to talk about it!"
Xu Miaoyun was slightly taken aback.
"It's actually Zhou Wang?"
She thought it was the Prince of Yan, but she didn't expect it to be the Prince of Zhou.
Xu Da snorted lightly and said,
"No matter who it is, you can't do it. Daughter, you're still so young. Even if you want to get married, you have to wait a few years.”
Facing her furious father, Xu Miaoyun appeared very calm. After seeing her father vent his anger, she opened her red lips and said,
"Father, you're going out to battle."
Xu Da was stunned and immediately understood the Emperor's intentions. However, he still couldn't quell his anger. He slapped his chair and said,"
"But you can't use my daughter as a guarantee!”
"His upper lips touched his lower lips and he took my daughter away. How can there be such a good thing in the world?”
Xu Miaoyun comforted him,"
"Father, it won't be that fast. Zhou Wang and daughter are of the same age. Even if they are to get married, it will be mainly through marriage.”
"Currently, among the few sons of His Majesty, other than the Crown Prince and the King of Qin who already have wives, the King of Jin and the King of Yan have not yet married.”
"The matter between my daughter and Prince Zhou will probably have to wait for a few years. At least, it will have to wait until Prince Jin and Prince Yan get married before it will be Prince Zhou's turn.”
"However, His Majesty has allowed our family to marry Prince Zhou, which is not bad for our Xu family.”
"If it was the King of Yan, Father would have a headache.”
Xu Da was slightly stunned. His daughter's analysis calmed him down a little.
He knew that among the Emperor's sons, the King of Yan was the most mischievous and the King of Zhou was the smartest.
Compared to the stubborn reputation of the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, the Prince of Zhou was much better.
At least, the outside world had a good evaluation of Zhou Wang.
However, Xu Da really could not bear to give away the daughter he had raised for more than ten years for nothing.
His eldest daughter, Xu Miaoyun, was like a warm and caring little girl to Xu Da.
Almost all the matters in the Xu family were handled by the eldest daughter.
When he thought about how his family's caring little cotton-padded jacket was about to be snatched away by someone else, Xu Da felt very upset.
"No, it still can't be done. Let's not talk about anything else. If you marry him in the future, we can't just go to our son-in-law's house to freeload, right?”
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Tomorrow, the Crown Prince will bring this brat to our door.”
Xu Miaoyun looked at her father, who looked like he wanted to settle the score with the person who stole her treasure, and sighed helplessly.
She felt that the older her father got, the more childish his temper became.
……
Ten minutes into the night.
In the Imperial Palace, Zhu Xiong was left alone in the Eastern Palace by his elder brother, Zhu Biao.
Only when the sky had completely darkened did Zhu Biao and Zhu Rong walk out of Feng An Hall one after the other.
Zhu Biao said as he walked,
"Do you remember what I taught you? When you see Uncle Xu, you have to tell him properly. You should understand the reason why I arranged this marriage for you. You don't need me to teach you anything else, right?”
Zhu Rong nodded with a smile.
"Understood. Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely coax my future father-in-law.”
Zhu Biao scolded,
"You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already calling me father-in-law.”
At this moment, an anxious voice sounded outside the Eastern Palace.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
A eunuch ran towards them with sweat all over his head.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi were stunned.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice,"
"What's the matter? How could he be so flustered?”
When the eunuch heard Zhu Biao's scolding, he trembled in fear and could only kneel on the ground in fear."
"Crown Prince, please calm down!"
Zhu Biao saw the eunuch's expression, as if he really had something urgent to attend to. He didn't really blame him, but just waved his hand and asked,
"Forget it. Tell me, what's the matter that made you so flustered?”
The eunuch quickly said,"
"His Highness the King of Yan is missing!"
"Who is it? Fourth Bro?"
Zhu Biao was stunned, but he did not panic. Instead, he asked,
"Have you searched carefully?"
The eunuch said fearfully,"
"Yes, I've searched everywhere. I've sent people to search everywhere in the palace, but I didn't find any trace of His Highness the Prince of Yan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to risk my life to come and disturb His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Hearing this, Zhu Biao immediately had a bad feeling.
Zhu Rong was also stunned.
F * ck, did Ling run away from home?
This was Zhu Rong's first reaction.
When the two brothers were together in private, he had heard Zhu Di mention more than once that he wanted to go north with the army and participate in the northern expedition.
But on second thought, he felt a little puzzled.
This was the palace, not an ordinary person's house. How could you run away from home just because you wanted to?
Not to mention the tight security of the palace, the main gate of the palace would be locked before sunset.
Without the emperor's order, even his elder brother Zhu Biao couldn't leave the city.
Zhu Xiong couldn't figure out how Fourth Brother got out of the city.
The Imperial Palace of the capital was not some imperial city that had been in disrepair for years. It had just been built less than six years ago and was still new. There were no loopholes to exploit.
Thinking of this, Zhu Rong concluded that Fourth Brother, this hothead, most likely did not leave the city. He must be hiding somewhere.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiong couldn't help but secretly glance at his big brother Zhu Biao, wondering if he should remind his big brother.
At this moment, Zhu Biao's expression had already turned extremely ugly. He immediately ordered,"
"Immediately summon the Eastern Palace guards and search every palace! Don't let go of any corner!"
Hearing this order, Zhu Xiong understood that his big brother wasn't stupid at all. He instantly figured out the key.
It seemed that he did not need to remind him of anything.
With the disappearance of his fourth brother Zhu Di, Zhu Biao was no longer in the mood to continue talking to Zhu Xiong.
"Fifth brother, go back first. Remember what big brother said today. If you see your fourth brother, report immediately.”
Zhu Rong nodded lightly.
"Alright."
After leaving the Eastern Palace, Zhu Rong headed straight for his own residence.
Along the way, he saw countless Eastern Palace guards searching the Imperial City.
Zhu Rong shook his head lightly and sighed in his heart. The young Emperor Yong Le was really fearless and dared to cause any trouble.
This matter would definitely be reported to Imperial Father. Fourth Brother would probably be punished for this.
Just as Zhu Rong was thinking about something.
An Imperial Army soldier wearing a forbidden uniform suddenly walked up to Zhu Rong.
Before Zhu Rong could come back to his senses, Zhu Di's familiar voice sounded in his ear,"
"Fifth brother, help me!"
Zhu Rong staggered and almost fell.
He felt terrible!
