Zhu Xu's bedroom.
Early morning.
Zhu Xu woke up early as usual.
Then, he looked at the eggs and bamboo that the palace maid had brought over. After a moment of silence, he asked,""Where's Miao Jin?"
"Replying to Your Highness, the Young Lady of the Duke of Wei's Public House was called over by the Crown Princess early in the morning.”
A eunuch stepped forward and said.
“.......。”
Zhu Xu picked up the bamboo juice and took a sip. He felt that the taste was not authentic. Xu Miaojin's cooking was delicious.
He ate another two eggs and said to the eunuch beside him,""Go to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace and tell Miao Jin to come back as soon as possible.”
"Yes!"
Zhu Xu did not say anything more. He left the palace and took a carriage to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen.
When he was working in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen, the speed of handling official documents was much faster than before, but the time for meditation was much less.
"Your Highness, all the official documents in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen have been dealt with.”
"Then take out all the official documents from yesterday. I'll take a look and see if there's anything left out.”
"Yes!"
Although Jiang Meng felt that something was wrong with Zhu Xu today, he still obediently went to get the document.
When he returned with the document, he happened to bump into Xu Miaojin, who was walking into the yamen.
Jiang Meng quickly stepped aside and bowed. Xu Miaojin immediately returned the greeting and ran to Zhu Xu's side.
" Your Highness, I'm back."
Xu Miaojin smiled.
"Yes."
Zhu Xu nodded and said calmly,""Is the Crown Princess looking for you?"
"En, the crown prince consort called me over for a chat and even introduced me to some palace maids. She said that she would take care of my daily life and teach me some etiquette.”
Xu Miaojin's face was a little red.
As a princess consort, she naturally had to follow the corresponding etiquette.
Xu Miaojin came from a military family and did not know much about etiquette, so she did not reject the Crown Princess.
"You don't have to be too polite when you're by my side in the future.”
Zhu Xu said indifferently and closed his eyes to meditate.
" Huh?!"
Xu Miaojin was slightly taken aback, and then her face turned even redder.
She saw that Zhu Xu had already started meditating, so she didn't disturb him. She sat at the side and took out an unnamed book. She began to flip through it uneasily.
In the following five days, Zhu Xu maintained a high efficiency in handling official documents.
Xu Miaojin stayed by Zhu Xu's side almost all the time. She would only study etiquette when she returned to her palace at night.
The prices of goods in the country were about to be suppressed by Zhu Xu.
However, five days later.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the small mountain of memorials in front of him, his face expressionless.
Every day, there were so many memorials from the officials to impeach Zhu Xu.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already used to it.
Just as he was about to let the eunuch announce the withdrawal of the court.
Corey suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have another matter to report.!”
"Hmm?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Zicheng and frowned.
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Fifteenth Prince for using the secret technique of Feng Shui to cast a curse!! He intends to encroach on the position of Crown Prince!"
Huang Zicheng had just finished speaking.
The court was immediately in an uproar.
Scholar Huang, do you have any evidence?"
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty, I've received accurate news that the Fifteenth Prince hid the curse talisman next door to his bedroom. As long as Your Majesty sends someone to search the room next door, we'll definitely find something.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately slammed the table and stood up.
"Huang Zicheng, how dare you frame my Fifteenth Prince! Men! Immediately capture this traitor and send him to the imperial prison!!”
"Yes!"
A few imperial guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Huang Zicheng away.
"Your Majesty, this subject is wronged, this subject is wronged!!”
Corey panicked.
At this moment, many ministers jumped out.
"Your Majesty, since Lord Huang has already said that the evidence is conclusive, we must send someone to search!”
"Your Majesty, the curse on the Crown Prince is extremely vicious.”
"Your Majesty, Lord Huang is exterminating traitors for the country! What a loyal minister! You shouldn't be treated like this!"
.........
He watched as the ministers pleaded for Huang Zicheng.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.
Zhu Xu would use a talisman to curse Zhu Biao?
If that was the case, Zhu Biao would have died a thousand times over!
Zhu Yuanzhang knew Zhu Xu's abilities too well.
However, the fact that Huang Zicheng would impeach Zhu Xu like this proved that he was prepared. The talisman that cursed Zhu Biao definitely existed, but it was definitely not placed by Zhu Xu.
Zhu Yuanzhang was smart. He knew that Huang Zicheng was framing him.
There must be someone behind Corey!
This group of people had even extended their hands into the harem.
Zhu Yuanzhang's blood pressure started to rise.
"I will investigate this matter. Just listen to the results quietly. Don't say anything else!”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not give the ministers any chance to continue their remonstrance. He waved his sleeve and left.
As soon as he left the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he immediately said to the eunuch beside him,"Go to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen and inform Fifteen of this matter. Just report the results to me after you're done!!”
"Yes!"
.............
The Imperial Secret Service yamen.
When Jiang Chi reported the matter to Zhu Xu, Zhu Xu immediately looked at Xu Miaojin, who was sitting beside him, and then looked at Jiang Chi coldly."Bring a team of people to Miao Jin's palace and take control of all the palace servants!”
"Yes!"
Jiang Meng immediately left.
"Your, Your Highness, I will never do such a thing.”
Xu Miaojin explained in horror.
Once the crime of cursing the Crown Prince was confirmed, his entire family would definitely be exterminated!
Zhu Xu stood up and said seriously to Xu Miaojin,""I believe you, and I won't let anyone who dares to frame you off!”
Hearing this, Xu Miaojin felt much more at ease.
Zhu Xu turned to the Brocade Guard and said,"Gather all the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the yamen and follow me!”
"Yes!"
Zhu Xu led more than 2,000 Brocade Guards out of the yamen and went straight to his bedchamber. They also searched the palace where Xu Miaojin was staying.
Soon, the Embroidered Uniform Guards found a cloth bag under Xu Miaojin's mattress.
There were a few bloody dolls inside the cloth bag. These dolls were not only painted with charms but also the birth characters of Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunyu.
"Your Highness, this thing is not mine!”
Xu Miaojin panicked and immediately defended herself.
“.......。”
Zhu Xu looked at the cloth bag in his hand and then at Jiang Meng beside him.""Where's the palace maid who taught Miao Jin etiquette?"
"He's missing."
"Hmph, let's go to the Eastern Palace."
Zhu Xu turned around and walked towards the Eastern Palace.
Jiang Meng quickly followed with the Brocade Guard.
