"Sister-in-law, when will my big nephew be born?”
In the back garden, beside a stone table, Zhu Su was chatting with Crown Princess Chang Xiyun.
As he spoke, Zhu Su did not stop moving his hands.
He peeled a mandarin orange and split it into two halves. He threw half of it into his mouth while he opened the other half and gave it to Chang Xiyun.
Chang Xiyun took the tangerines with a smile and tasted one petal. She placed the rest on the tray in front of her."It's still early. I've been pregnant for ten months. It's only been four months. However, it's hard on you, Zhu Xiaowu. You actually know not to protect your food and even gave up half of your sister's. It seems that I didn't dote on you for nothing.”As she spoke, she pinched Zhu Su's cheek.
To be honest, in the Zhu family, the one with the most iconic appearance was Little Five. If his own child could have half of this brat's appearance, then he was destined to be extremely outstanding.
Zhu Su rolled his eyes when Chang Xiyun pinched his face. He had no choice. He couldn't resist. He had been pampered and taken care of by Sister Chang since he was young. When their father went to the battlefield to kill people, Sister Chang was the one who wiped his nose and fed him snacks.
Other than herself, her brothers and sisters, the general of Huaixi, the Zhedong Group, and their children were all taken care of by Chang Xiyun.
Therefore, Chang Xiyun's reputation was not only boosted by her father, Chang Yuchun, but also by a group of fans who were destined to be rich in the future.
"You're my sister-in-law! You can't call me sister anymore!" Zhu Su shook his head and dodged Chang Xiyun's naughty little hand. He took the orange from the tray in front of her and stuffed it into his mouth.
While chewing the orange, he looked at her smugly, as if he felt that this was the revenge for the pinch just now.
Chang Xiyun covered her mouth as she looked at Zhu Su's innocent and child-like appearance. She held her belly and giggled, which frightened the servants who were waiting on her at the side, afraid that she would hurt the fetus.
Zhu Su spent the entire afternoon accompanying Chang Xiyun in the Eastern Palace. Outside the Eastern Palace, Zhu Su's rescue of Big Tiger had caused a huge uproar.
"Your Majesty! I can't protect the emperor well, which led to the death of King Xiaoming. His Majesty should send someone to take Da Hu away from the Duke Cao's Mansion and put him in jail for punishment!”Inside the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, Hu Weiyong began to attack the big tiger.
F * ck, why would a fellow Daoist die instead of a poor Daoist? This matter was originally entrusted to me by His Majesty. I was afraid that I wouldn't do it well, so I hinted that you would be buried with Prince Xiaoming. In the end, you f * cking came back alive!
It was supposed to be a good ending for everyone if you died, but you had to go against the heavens and change your fate, right?
Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen looked at Hu Weiyong who was kneeling on the ground. Their eyes were gloomy, but their faces were very calm. No one said anything.
This matter could have been tacitly suppressed.
But they didn't want to.
Therefore, after they received news from Li Wenzhong's guards that Da Hu was alive, they immediately sent people to spread the news.
It was too late for Zhu Yuanzhang to suppress them!
Their goal was to use this as an excuse to suppress Huaixi's dignitaries, but Hu Weiyong was their vanguard, so they couldn't just let this matter get to them.
Hence, there was such a thing.
Furthermore, they would not speak too fiercely after this. He believed that the Emperor would use this opportunity to move the nobles of Huaixi no matter what. In this way, there was no need for them to add fuel to the fire.
However, Li Wenzhong was definitely included in this group of unlucky people.
Even if Li Wenzhong wasn't stupid and knew that he couldn't keep this secret by himself, even if he went into the palace to explain it to Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as he knew about it, Zhu Yuanzhang might blame him.
Elder Li Shan looked at Hu Weiyong, who was lying on the ground, and glanced at Liu Bowen, who was pretending to be a clay Bodhisattva, from the corner of his eye.
The old man was amazing. He was impressed by his ability to act according to the situation!
Unfortunately, Hu Weiyong was also responsible for this matter.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had given Hu Weiyong the order. If things were not done well, Hu Weiyong was the main person responsible.
Sigh, if His Majesty had been a little more ruthless, wouldn't he have found a suitable chess piece?
" Your Majesty…" Lan Yu was about to speak when Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who were standing in front of him, glanced at him coldly and shut his mouth.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he, who was originally expressionless, only raised his eyes slightly, pretending that nothing had happened.
The atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point.
Huaixi Xun Gui definitely wouldn't stand up for this matter. After all, among the real big shots in the military, Lan Yu was the only big fool.
It was clear that no matter what, the generals of Huaixi would have to bear the brunt of the disaster. Lowering their stance was their way out. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun knew this very well.
After Hu Weiyong's impassioned remonstrance, no one else spoke in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, except for the foolish Blue Jade who shouted out," Your Majesty!" and was cut off by Chang and Xu with their eyes.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry. He sat on the dragon throne and leaned forward, looking down at the officials in the hall. The jade Ruyi in his hand swayed gently. His gaze occasionally landed on a certain place, even if it was only for a moment. The pressure that he inadvertently emitted would cause a wave of fear among the officials.
When did His Majesty become so powerful?
As time passed, no one said a word. Except for Zhu Yuanzhang, who still looked relaxed and indifferent, the others in the hall were getting more and more uncomfortable.
Hu Weiyong was lying on the ground with his head pressed against the ground and never raised his head. Maintaining this position for a long time was no less than torture.
Not only that, compared to the physical torture, the mental pain was more difficult for him to accept.
But what could he do?
Zhu Su's unreasonable move could be said to be one of a kind.
Forget it, he had completely cut off Hu Weiyong's thoughts of becoming prime minister in the future.
Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, Zhu Biao finally appeared.
"Imperial Father, your son has come to beg for forgiveness." As soon as Zhu Biao entered the hall, he walked past the officials and knelt at the front.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly got up and wanted to help his eldest son up. However, he seemed to feel that this was inappropriate, so he slowly withdrew his body and sat down.
"Oh, Biao," he said impassively,"what crime have you committed?”
"Your son is guilty!" Zhu Biao bowed his head and said," I've already sent someone to spread the news. Da Hu was lucky enough to survive that day and was saved by the fishermen. He will be escorted to Jinling in a few days. He will be at your disposal!"”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up as he looked at his son with satisfaction. The admiration on his face made Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen sigh in their hearts."Let's forget about this matter."
As for Huaixi Xungui, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, and Li Wenzhong, these three military bigwigs who could be considered to be sensible people were more respectful than grateful to Zhu Biao.
And blue jade was just blue jade…
Political idiots were hard to explain.
Hu Weiyong, who had been lying on the ground, did not come back to his senses until the end of the court session, even though he was safe and sound this time.
But Zhu Yuanzhang, who bore grudges, Huaixi nobles who looked at him coldly, and Zhedong Group, who had already abandoned him…
It seemed that only his wounded world had been achieved.
