In the Eastern Palace's study.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat behind the desk and held Zhu Xiongying on his lap. He carefully stroked his long hair. Unknowingly, his eyes turned red.
Zhu Xiongying raised his head and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's sorrowful expression. He asked curiously,""Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang forced a smile and said," My good grandson, I'm fine. I've been very busy recently and didn't have time to come and see you. How are you doing in the Eastern Palace?"”
Zhu Xiong Ying revealed a bright smile." Grandfather, don't worry. Grandson is doing well. Mother is very good to me.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.”
Immediately after.
"Xiong Ying, do you want to live in a different environment?”
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Zhu Xiongying asked in confusion.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said," Grandpa has recently met a little immortal. He wants you to follow him to cultivate and learn Taoism. Are you willing?"”
Zhu Xiong Ying blinked." Didn't Grandfather want me to be the Emperor?”
"Silly child," Zhu Yuanzhang laughed,"when can I not be the emperor?" However, Little Immortals don't appear all the time. If you can acknowledge him as your master, you might be able to achieve longevity in the future.”
Zhu Xiong Ying was silent for a moment before nodding."Since Grandpa wants me to go, then I'll go.”
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately beamed with joy." What a great grandson!”
At this moment.
There was a slight movement outside the study.
"Who is it?"
The domineering aura of an emperor instantly surged out as Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
The door was pushed open.
Madam Lu walked in with a cup of tea and said with a smile,"Father, it's me."
Seeing that it was his daughter-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang let down his guard and said softly,"You came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you.”
"Xiong Ying won't be staying in the Eastern Palace for a while. We'll take him somewhere else.”
Concubine Lu panicked and quickly tried to dissuade her,"Imperial Father, Xiong Ying is still young and can't leave me.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently,"Alright, our grandson is not so delicate. It's settled."”
Concubine Lu immediately stopped.
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were like an imperial edict, and once he made up his mind, no one could change it.
He had no choice.
Lady Lu could only think of another way and asked,"Then I wonder where Imperial Father is taking Xiong Ying? If it's convenient, as his mother, I would like to see him occasionally.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently, feeling that this was reasonable.
After all, she was Xiong Ying's mother. Although she was an adoptive mother, after so many years, her feelings for her must still be there.
It was indeed a little unreasonable to forcefully separate them.
If it wasn't for Zhu Xiongying's life, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't have been so arbitrary.
"Actually, I'm not going anywhere."
"I'm going to the White Cloud Temple on Niushou Mountain to stay for a while," Zhu Yuanzhang said.”
Lady Lu nodded, memorizing this place in her heart.
That night.
Zhu Yuanzhang left the Eastern Palace with Zhu Xiongying.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson left, Zhu Biao returned in a daze.
"Your Highness, you're back?"
"Father has just taken Xiong Ying away. Does Your Highness know about this?"”
Zhu Biao raised his head." Father took Xiong Ying away?”
"Yes, he said he was going to White Cloud Temple for a while."”
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he said in ecstasy," That's right. Why didn't I think of that? As long as Xiong Ying stayed with the Taoist priest, he would definitely not die!”
Madam Lu felt that something was wrong and hurriedly asked,"What is Your Highness saying? Who's going to die?"
Zhu Biao sighed and told Lady Lu everything about Fang Han and what they had seen today.
Lady Lu was shocked." There's actually such a god in this world?”
At the same time.
She felt a little lucky.
If Zhu Xiongying died, then according to the order of seniority, her son Zhu Yunwen would become the first choice for the parasite of the throne!
Zhu Biao nodded and said," Yes, the world is big, and there are all kinds of strange things. It is also a great fortune for our country to have Taoist Fang."”
"Your Highness, may I see this little Taoist master in the future?" Madam Lu asked impatiently.”
"Sure, but why do you want to see him?" Zhu Biao asked nonchalantly.”
"I also want to see what Yun Wen will look like when she grows up."”
Zhu Biao's heart softened. He almost forgot that he had a son. He couldn't help but feel guilty."That's easy. In two days, I'll personally bring you to visit the Taoist priest.”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lady Lu was overjoyed.”
Late at night.
Duke Wei's Mansion.
Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun sat in the hall. They had not said a word since they returned.
"Dad, sister, what's wrong with you two? Are you possessed?"
Xu Da's eldest son, Xu Huizu, was extremely anxious. He had not seen Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun for more than a year.
Today.
As soon as Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun returned to the capital, they didn't even return home and directly entered the Imperial Palace.
It was not until evening that the two of them returned home. However, their condition was obviously not right, as if they had experienced something major.
After a long time.
Xu Da heaved a sigh of relief and said,"I regret it."
Xu Miaoyun raised her eyes and said," Do you regret it? Our Xu Family has already been involved in this mess. It's difficult to get out of it."”
Xu Huizu was so anxious that he scratched his head." Father, Big Sister, what are you two talking about?”
Xu Da ignored his son and leaned back tiredly. He looked at the ceiling and muttered,"How strange. Could it be that the imperial grandson will really die?”
Hearing this, Xu Huizu was so scared that his seven souls left his body. He hurriedly stopped him and said loudly,"Father, are you crazy? If word of this gets out, won't His Majesty execute my entire family?”
"What are you panicking about?" Xu Miaoyun asked indifferently. His Majesty already knew about this."
" What?!"
Xu Huizu was confused and did not know what had happened. He asked curiously,"Big sister, what happened? Tell me about it."
Xu Miaoyun glanced at Xu Da, who silently nodded in agreement.
After that.
Xu Miaoyun then told him everything that had happened.
Xu Huizu opened his mouth wide, and his hair stood on end. He did not come to his senses for a long time.
Zhu Di becoming the emperor and Zhu Xiongying's death were both earth-shattering events for the Ming Dynasty. They would change the fate of countless people.
This was something that he did not even dare to imagine.
There was also the young Taoist priest called Fang Han.
Everything had happened because of him.
Even if Xu Huizu thought about it a thousand times, he would never have thought that there was actually such a god in this world who could travel back to the future. It was really too ridiculous.
If it weren't for Xu Da and Xu Miaoyun, Xu Huizu would have felt like he was hearing a joke if it were anyone else.
"Big sister, how did brother-in-law become the emperor?”
Xu Huizu asked curiously.
"If you ask me, who should I ask?"
"Perhaps only Priest Fang knows the inside story of this matter," Xu Miaoyun said unhappily.”
"He said that there are three main reasons why His Highness, the King of Yan, can become the Emperor. The early death of the Imperial Grandson is only one of them.”
