Time flew. In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a month.
In the Eastern Palace.
Lan Shenxing was teaching Zhu Xiongying archery.
At this moment, Xu Miaoyun walked behind him and said,""There are Jinyiwei looking for you outside."
"Play with Xiong Ying for a while."
Lan Shenxing handed Zhu Xiongying over to Xu Miaoyun and strode out of the door.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards bowed.
"What is it?"
Lan Shenxing asked.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, they said softly,"Milord, one of the three women died last night.”
Lan Shenxing was stunned and strode forward.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly followed.
Lan Shenxing asked as he walked, his eyes cold."How did he die? Have you found out?"
"It was a difficult labor. The pregnant woman and the child did not survive.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards reported truthfully.
"What did the midwife say?"
As the selected women had all given birth naturally before, the midwife they found this time was also the one who delivered them last time.
"This is the first time she has seen such a situation. According to her…it seems that the child is too old and can't come out.”
At this point, the Jinyiwei felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so they changed their words and said,"Compared to the first natural birth, the second baby is obviously slightly bigger.”
"What about the other two?"
Lan Shenxing asked.
"One of them, the adult is dead, but the child is alive. As for the other person, both the adult and the child were still alive, but the process was very dangerous. This person had a massive hemorrhage after childbirth. If it was not for timely treatment, he would probably have died.”
"The third person didn't die?"
Lan Shenxing frowned slightly.
"That woman's appetite hasn't been good recently, and she hasn't finished eating many tonics. During this period, the subordinate forced the merchant to feed him, but after eating it, he vomited it out in less than an incense stick's time.”
At this point, the Embroidered Uniform Guards observed Lan Shenxing's expression and continued,""The doctor diagnosed that it was due to poor digestion. The subordinate was afraid that if he continued to feed her forcefully, it would arouse her suspicion, so he did not force her.”
"I understand. You may leave."
After Lan Shenxing finished speaking, he walked towards the Eastern Palace.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly left the place.
……
In the palace.
Mao Xiang stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and put down the memorial in his hand."Is there anything you want to tell us?”
"I…"
Mao Xiang had a troubled expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood today. He could see Mao Xiang's difficulties and said with a smile,"Speak, I forgive you."
Mao Xiang bowed." Your Majesty, do you still remember that about two months ago, Lan Shenxing sent the Embroidered Uniform Guards to buy tonics and find a pregnant woman?"”
"What's wrong?"
Initially, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have much of an impression of it, but after Mao Xiang's mention, he recalled it.
At the same time.
He also understood why Mao Xiang wanted to say something but stopped.
Because he had said that there was no need to report these trivial matters to him in the future.
However, the death of a person was not a small matter.
If this matter was not reported and Zhu Yuanzhang found out about it, Mao Xiang would be in trouble.
However, if he did…
Zhu Yuanzhang also said that he was the first to do so.
Therefore, Mao Xiang would only dare to speak up if Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first.
"He's dead."
Mao Xiang reported truthfully.
"What exactly happened?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, and anger appeared in his eyes.
Mao Xiang explained the situation in detail.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that it was a merchant, the anger in his eyes obviously lessened a little, but it did not mean that he was not angry.
He hated merchants, and sometimes he even wanted to kill all of them.
However, he was the only one who could do this.
Lan Shenxing?
No way.
Moreover, Lan Shenxing was not dealing with the merchant, but the merchant's wife!
Of course.
What made Zhu Yuanzhang the angriest was Lan Shenxing's sentence," As long as the merchant cooperated, he could ensure his safety!
Zhu Yuanzhang had evidence of the collusion between officials and merchants.
The reason why he didn't punish them was because he didn't want to.
But now, before he, the Emperor, could say anything, Lan Shenxing, the Thousand Households of the Jinyiwei, had taken the initiative to protect him.
This overstepping of authority was too much!
"Go get Biao…"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, waved his hand, and changed his words."No, bring Lan Shenxing here directly! Tie him up, strip off his Flying Fish costume, and give him the Embroidered Spring Saber. He's not worthy!”
If he called Zhu Biao, he would not be able to punish Lan Shenxing once Zhu Biao pleaded for mercy.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still holding back his anger from the incident with Luo Hong.
Now, this was happening again.
Zhu Yuanzhang decided that this time, he had to teach Lan Shenxing a lesson personally and let him know what to do and what not to do.
"Your Majesty, Lan Shenxing is currently…in the Eastern Palace," Mao Xiang said softly.”
"Why is he still in the Eastern Palace? Didn't Biao 'er buy him a house?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
"He stays in the Eastern Palace during the day and returns to the residence at night.”
Mao Xiang lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before continuing,""Moreover, he also ordered six Embroidered Uniform Guards. Three of them will guard the courtyard for him during the day, and the other three will guard the courtyard for him at night.”
"He really rebelled!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger rose by 30%.
The Brocade Guard was the Emperor's personal army.
Even he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was not extravagant enough to let the Embroidered Uniform Guards guard the door.
Yet, Lan Shenxing, a Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, actually made the Embroidered Uniform Guards do such a task!
"How about this, get someone to call this shameless child out first. Remember, don't let Biao 'er and the crown prince consort find out!”
Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth in anger. He pointed at Mao Xiang with his index finger and continued,"When this Laipiwa comes out, strip him of his flying fish suit, tie him up, and bring him here!”
"Yes."
Mao Xiang received the order and turned around, preparing to do it.
"Wait a minute."
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
Mao Xiang asked.
"This won't vent our anger.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said," After tying them up, throw them into Zhao Prison. Prepare all the torture tools for us. We'll go too!" I want to pull out the thorn myself so that Biao can use it easily.”
"Yes."
" Understood!" Mao Xiang agreed and left with large strides.
