Crown Prince Manor.
"What are you thinking? Aren't you putting your life in his hands by letting Second Brother guard the city?”
Zhang shi looked at Zhu Gaochi, her eyes filled with confusion.
"I'm free to think about my own matters. Don't worry about it.”
Zhu Gaochi didn't know what to say, so he simply said perfunctorily.
"You're telling me to ignore it?"
Zhang shi got angry when she heard that. She stood up.
"Zhu, are you tired of living? I don't want to die even if you want to.”
"Tsk, what nonsense are you talking about?”
"I'm talking nonsense?"
Zhang shi pointed at the door angrily.
"Go to the streets and ask anyone who the Han King is. He will tell you without me saying anything. Now that you have him guard the capital, do you think we can still survive?”
"Second Brother isn't such a person."
Zhu Gaochi sighed.
"Alright then, tell me what kind of person he is. Is he your beloved younger brother? Zhu! I'm your woman, and Zhanji and Zhanbi are your sons!”
"If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't drag us down!”
The more Zhang shi spoke, the angrier she got. How could she not be angry? It was her misfortune to have such a weak husband.
He didn't mind the little tricks that Second and Third played. Fine, since they didn't succeed, she didn't care.
However, the problem now was that not only did Zhu Gaochi stretch his neck to the edge of the other party's knife, but he also wanted to bring his entire family to their deaths.
She couldn't tolerate this.
"This, what nonsense are you talking about? How can I harm you?”
Zhu Gaochi was also somewhat helpless. He knew Zhang shi's worries and understood, but he couldn't say it!
Then, he winked at the maid beside Zhang shi, asking her to call Zhu Zhanji over.
As for Zhu Zhan Xin, forget it. It would be even more chaotic if he came.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Not good, the crown prince and the crown princess consort are quarreling.”
The maid hurriedly ran to Zhu Zhanji's courtyard.
Zhu Zhanji, who was still cultivating in his room, slowly opened his eyes when he heard this.
"Sigh, why are they quarreling again?”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head helplessly.
Then, he got up and walked out. He had been cultivating in his room these past few days, so he did not know what was happening outside.
Not to mention that cultivation was really addictive, he finally understood why Zhu Zhanxin liked to stay in his room alone.
"What's wrong? Why are they arguing again?”
"This is because of the matter in the court. The Crown Princess said that if the Crown Prince continues like this, she will bring you and the Fifth Prince back to their hometown.”
The maid hurriedly said.
"The matters in court?"
Zhu Zhanji's expression froze. He knew that although Zhang shi had quarreled with the Crown Prince from time to time, those were all trivial matters. Zhang shi usually would not bring up matters of the court.
After all, it was an iron rule that the harem could not interfere in politics.
"Tell me what's going on.”
As Zhu Zhanji walked forward, the maid started to talk to him.
The more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. This didn't seem like something his father would do. Moreover, his second uncle seemed to have gone even crazier in his cultivation. How could he still listen to the Crown Prince?
Unless, this was not the Crown Prince's order!
Zhu Zhanji immediately understood.
"Zhu! You just want us to die, okay! I'll take Zhan Ji and Zhan Chen away now. If you die, I'll come back and bury you with you!”
Before he reached the place, he heard Zhang shi's voice.
This is bad!
Zhu Zhanji had a bad feeling and hurriedly walked in, just in time to bump into Zhang shi who was walking out with red eyes.
"Mother."
Zhu Zhanji shouted worriedly.
"Son, let's go. We don't want to stay in this house anymore. Mother will take you and Zhan Jue back to your mother's house.”
Zhang shi said with a choked voice.
"No, Mom, let's talk things out. There's no need to be like this. We're all family.”
Zhu Zhanji hugged her and comforted her.
"Zhanji, your father is crazy. He wants to give our whole family to your second uncle.”
Zhang shi sobbed. She had worried so much for this family, but before she could enjoy her life, her husband had already gone crazy.
"Mother, let's go in and talk to father. I think father must have a reason for doing this.”
"What else is there to say?"
"Let's go in and talk."
As Zhu Zhanji spoke, he led Madam Zhang inside and signaled for the servants to close the door.
When he entered the room, he saw Zhu Gaochi half-lying on the chair, panting. He looked almost the same as before he had taken the pill.
It could be seen that he had suffered a lot.
He first helped Zhang shi to the chair, then walked behind Zhu Gaochi and placed her on his back to help him breathe.
A faint spiritual energy surged out of his hand and seeped into his body.
Zhu Gaochi's expression immediately became much better.
"Zhanji, you're here."
Zhu Gaochi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him.
"Father, Mother, you should have more or less understood this matter. What's there to say about our family?”
Zhu Zhanji looked at him and smiled.
"What else is there to say? He's just crazy and won't listen to anything. He just wants us to die with him.”
As she spoke, Zhang shi took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"You, Zhanji."
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang shi and then at him, sighing helplessly.
There were some things he really couldn't say.
Zhu Zhanji walked over to Madam Zhang and squatted down.
"Alright, Mother, it's not like you don't know Father's temper. How could he harm us? He must have his reasons for doing so.”
"What other reason could there be? He let your second uncle take charge of the capital. It's not like you don't know what kind of person your second uncle is.”
Seeing Zhang shi's tearful appearance, Zhu Zhanji also sighed in his heart.
"Your Imperial Grandfather is dead, and he's giving away the position he's got to someone else. You treat him as your own brother, but he still won't accept it!”
Zhang shi mocked Zhu Gaochi again.
"Imperial Grandfather is dead?"
Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised.
"What else? Everyone outside is saying so. Otherwise, how would your father have the guts to stop the Yongle Grand Ceremony? If your Imperial Grandfather was still here, would he dare to move?”
"That, Mother, I say, what if Imperial Grandfather isn't dead?”
Zhu Zhanji whispered.
Hearing this, Zhang shi was stunned.
"What did you say?"
Zhu Zhanji got up and walked to the door to signal for the servants to leave. Then, he closed the door and half-squatted beside Zhang Shi.
"What if Imperial Grandfather isn't dead yet?”
"This is impossible. If your Imperial Grandfather wasn't dead, how could your father dare to do this?”
Zhang Shi looked like she didn't believe it.
"But, mother, how can you be so sure?”
Zhu Zhanji smiled.
"That's what the outside world is saying.”
"Is there a decree to report?"
Zhu Zhanji asked.
Zhang Shi shook her head. Suddenly, her eyes widened. She looked at Zhu Zhanji in disbelief, then at Zhu Gaochi.
"You mean that Imperial Grandfather is still alive?”
Zhu Zhanji shrugged.
"Mother, don't forget that Imperial Grandfather dotes on me the most. If something really happened, how could I not know?”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Gaochi and whispered into Zhang shi's ear.
"There are some things that Father cannot say."
Zhang Shi understood something and looked at Zhu Gaochi.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything.”
Zhu Gaochi put his hands in his sleeves and turned his head away, but Zhang shi instantly knew what was going on.
After being together for so many years, how could she not see Zhu Gaochi's reaction?
Then, she wiped her tears and walked to Zhu Gaochi's side with a smile.
"Chief, are you angry? I was a little harsh just now.”
As she spoke, Zhang shi stretched out her hand to help him breathe.
Zhu Gaochi was like a child who was bullied. He turned his body away and did not want to pay attention to her.
As for how to appease Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Shi had a set of methods.
Not long after, Zhu Gaochi's expression could not hold on any longer.
"Sigh, alright, you're so annoying. Hurry up and leave. I still have things to discuss with Zhanji!”
Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to chase her away.
Zhang shi was not angry at this time, as long as Zhu Gaochi was not crazy.
