Everything has been decided.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Di walked out of the White Cloud Temple.
Standing at the entrance of the Taoist temple, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and turned his head. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the figure of the young man in the courtyard through the dark and narrow corridor.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Zhu Di ran over and asked.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's figure did not move." Eldest Brother, Fourth Brother, do you think there are really immortals in this world?"”
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di looked at each other and did not say anything.
No one could say for sure if there were immortals in the world, but one thing was certain: Fang Han, that little Taoist priest, was not someone ordinary people could compare to.
Perhaps he could really grant people immortality!
Longevity!
Many emperors and generals dreamed of it, even if they had to give up everything.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes jumped. He stood at the entrance of the Taoist temple for a long time, thinking about something.
"Let's go."
Fifteen minutes later, Zhu Yuanzhang led his two sons down the mountain with his hands behind his back.
That evening.
Zhu Yuanzhang finished his work and went to Empress Ma's bedroom.
Perhaps it was because of yesterday's torment, Empress Ma's condition suddenly worsened. She lay on the sickbed and kept coughing. She didn't even have the strength to get up to eat porridge.
The few imperial physicians were so anxious that they turned around and flipped through ancient and modern medical books, but there was nothing they could do.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
"Yes! Think of a way! If we can't cure the Empress, we'll all die!”
"Sigh!"
The imperial physicians were whispering to each other in the outer chambers of the palace. Everyone had a bitter and hateful expression on their faces, as if their mother was about to die.
People said that it was not easy to be a minister during the Hongwu period, but who could understand the feelings of the imperial doctors during the Hongwu period?
"Sister! Sister!"
A rough and unrestrained voice exploded in the hall. The few imperial physicians all trembled and knelt on the ground.
"How is our sister?"
Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to the imperial physician and asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is only weak in body and blood.”
Dai Sigong, the chief physician of the palace, was covered in cold sweat, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.
"Weak body, weak body. I've heard these words until my ears have calluses.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was not so patient and scolded angrily,"Let me tell you, if you can't cure our sister, all of you imperial physicians will die together with her!”
After saying that.
Zhu Yuanzhang flung his sleeves and strode into the inner chamber.
As for the few imperial physicians, they fell to the ground in a daze.
In the cabinet, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in front of the bed and looked at the pale Empress Ma. His heart ached and he said softly,"Sister, how do you feel?"
Empress Ma opened her eyes tiredly and forced a smile.""Chongba, it seems that the little Taoist priest is not accurate. I don't think I can last until next year.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's nose turned sour.”
Empress Ma's eyes shifted to the outside of the pavilion and said,""Chongba, if I die one day, please don't make things difficult for those imperial physicians. Life and death are determined by fate. They are not immortals.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the few figures outside the pavilion, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. In an instant, he recovered and smiled,"Sister, don't worry. We won't make things difficult for them, and you definitely won't die.”
He turned around, his face quickly turning cold. He ordered the eunuch beside him,""Go, call the Crown Prince and the King of Yan over.”
"This servant will obey."
The eunuch replied and quickly left the Empress's bedroom.
Not long after.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di rushed over.
"Father, how is Mother?"
Zhu Biao looked anxious.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head as if he had made up his mind. He said in a deep voice,"We can't wait any longer."
Zhu Di's eyes lit up.”
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered,"Hmph, it's as you wish."”
Zhu Di scratched his head in embarrassment and chuckled."I just think that the Eight Steps Vajra Art that the little Daoist said is quite good. I want to practice a few moves so that I can help Big Brother charge into the enemy's ranks in the future, right?”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood improved a little. He nodded and praised,"At least you're sensible."
"Father, let's not delay any longer. Let's set off quickly, shall we?" Zhu Biao said anxiously.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded." Alright, you can arrange everything."”
Zhu Biao agreed and quickly went out to prepare to leave the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes. He waited patiently for Zhu Biao to walk away before giving Zhu Di a look.
Zhu Di understood and walked to Zhu Yuanzhang quietly.
"Go, immediately pick twenty beauties from the palace and send them all to White Cloud Temple. Tell them that no matter what method they use, they must climb into that little Daoist's bed. If they do it well, they will promote their father and give their mother an imperial mandate!”
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Zhu Di revealed a sly smile.""Father, you're really mean!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.”
Zhu Di was like a mouse that had seen a cat. He took a step forward and said in a distant voice,"Don't worry, Father. I'll definitely pick the most beautiful and charming one. I guarantee that he won't be able to get out of bed for three days.”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a headache coming on. He looked at Zhu Di's back as he jumped up and down. He shook his head and sighed."I'm such an upright person. Where did this brat learn these crooked ways?”
Two hours later, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di returned to the Empress's bedroom at the same time.
"Father, everything is settled."
The two of them said to Zhu Yuanzhang at the same time.
"Hmm? Fourth Bro, what did you do?"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Di in confusion.
"Um…"
Zhu Di scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to lie to Zhu Biao, but he didn't want to lie to the emperor.
As a loyal prince, Zhu Biao was Zhu Di's king.
"Um, Boss, go in and accompany your mother first.”
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly stood up to help Zhu Di out. He also did not want Zhu Biao to know about these things.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhu Biao was a shining gentleman.
For such a sinister and despicable act, he only needed Zhu Di to do it for him.
Zhu Yuanzhang hoped that Zhu Biao would become the eternal sage, so he naturally couldn't have any flaws.
"Yes, son."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di suspiciously and walked into the inner chamber.
Seeing Zhu Biao leave, Zhu Di finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Fourth Bro, can you do it? It had only been two hours, and they had already finished choosing the beauties?”
Zhu Yuanzhang sized up Zhu Di from head to toe, his eyes full of distrust.
"Don't worry, Father. I can guarantee that, let alone the palace, even if you search the entire Jiangnan, there is no one more beautiful than these twenty beauties I have chosen.”
Zhu Di patted his chest and said confidently.
He was not exaggerating.
He did not like to read since he was young, so all kinds of evil ways were at his fingertips.
He knew how many beauties there were in the palace, which eunuchs were sly and cunning, and which palace maids were Bai Xiaotong.
Even though he had been a vassal for so many years, there were still many old acquaintances in the palace.
He could casually ask these people to help pick out beauties.
