Domineering Daming

"Let people find out where the emperor brother went last night."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao returned to Jinghuan Palace, he said coldly to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, and quickly said: "It's Your Highness, servants are going now."

"Your Highness, have a cup of tea." Yao Qingqing held a cup of tea, put it in front of Zhu Xu, and said warmly.

Zhu Xu let out a deep breath, suppressing the tension in his heart. Hearing this, he took the tea and took a sip, only then did he feel a little better.

Then he sat on his recliner, looked at Yao Qingqing, and thought to himself, "There must be a woman at home."

Not long after, Cao Wenzhao also ran in, looked at Zhu Xu and said anxiously: "Your Highness, I heard that Dongchang is looking for a place to build a prison."

Zhu Xu was not surprised, this was also one of Zhu Youxiao's counterattacks against Qingliu, but fortunately Liu Shimin is not Wei Zhongxian, so he should not do anything out of the ordinary.

"Let people keep an eye on the East Factory."

Zhu Xu frowned. The changes in Zhu Youxiao gave Zhu Xu a very anxious sense of urgency. He had an accident with his clear understanding of the situation in Ming Dynasty, and he had to find a way to find out the reason.

"It's Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao said.

Seeing that Zhu Xu finished his business, Yao Qingqing brought another plate of pastries to Zhu Xu, and said softly, "Your Highness, the empress summoned me just now."

"Sister-in-law?" Zhu Xu was startled, but immediately ignored it, took a pastry and said, "What did sister-in-law say?"

Yao Qingqing smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty is a generous person, she didn't say anything, and let me serve Your Highness well."

Zhu Xu nodded, there were very few things in the palace that could be hidden from Empress Zhang, the only exception was that old temptress.

Suddenly, Zhu Xu's heart moved, he stood up and was about to go outside, but soon stopped, sitting on a chair and meditating.

Cao Wenzhao was taken aback, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Zhu Xu shook his head and said: "Cao Huachun is back, let him come to see me immediately."

Zhu Xu sent the two of them away, and took a book to read, but he couldn't read it anyway, and his heart was full of Zhu Youxiao's excited look.This feeling of being out of control suddenly made Zhu Xu very uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, I found it." Cao Huachun also knew that Zhu Xu was waiting anxiously, and immediately said to Zhu Xu, "Your Highness, I found it. The emperor has been in the imperial study for the past few days and has never left."

Zhu Xu frowned even tighter, and after thinking about it, he said, "I'm going to see the emperor's wife right now."

Chapter 22 Secretly

Zhu Xu soon came to Kunning Palace.

"I have seen His Highness King Hui." The maids who came in and out saw Zhu Xu and bowed in salute.

As usual, Zhu Xu waved his hands proudly and said, "There are rewards, there are rewards, next time."

The maids burst out laughing one after another, and hurried away.

When Zhu Xu walked into the room, he saw Empress Zhang was embroidering something with her embroidery.On the other hand, Huan'er, with her big eyes wide open, stared hard at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu was taken aback, and whispered, "Sister Huan'er is not a stingy person, did I go wrong?"

Empress Zhang's needle was unsteady and almost stabbed her hand. She put it down helplessly, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "You are clever, tell me the truth, did you guess that I was pregnant and not sick?"

Zhu Xu looked innocent and pure, and widened his eyes and said: "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant? Is it a boy or a girl? Does Brother Huang know? I'll inform him right away!" As he spoke, he turned around and was about to run away.

Empress Zhang glared at him angrily, and said with a smirk, "Okay, sit here honestly, the emperor just rested, and I'll tell him at night."

Zhu Xu repeatedly agreed twice, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was still thinking about how to break through her along the way.

Huan'er was still staring at him angrily. They were worried these days, but they didn't expect that Zhu Xu had been hiding it from her, causing her to not sleep well these days.

Zhu Xu sat next to Empress Zhang with a smile, pondered for a while, and said, "Sister-in-law Huang, I think today is a bit strange."

"Strange, what's so strange?" Empress Zhang picked up the embroidery again, chatting with Zhu Xu while she was embroidering.

Zhu Xu frowned, puffed his face and said: "I can't tell, anyway, I feel weird in the palace as soon as I come back."

Empress Zhang paused when she heard this, her face was a little cold, then she looked up at him again, and said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, with me here, no one will bully you."

Zhu Xu was startled, looked at Empress Zhang with wide eyes, and said in disbelief, "Sister-in-law, who else can bully me except Brother Huang and you?" Although he said this, his mind tensed instantly, This person is even afraid of Queen Zhang!

Who is it?

"Okay." Empress Zhang didn't want to say more, she looked at Zhu Xu with some warning and said: "From now on, don't go out of the palace if you have nothing to do, stay in your own palace or come to me, the emperor should try to go as little as possible."

Zhu Xu became more suspicious, but said with a smile on his face, "Okay, I'll listen to the emperor's sister-in-law."

What kind of person can make the pregnant Empress Zhang so afraid. Does he know that the relationship between Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Empress is extraordinary. It stands to reason that no one should make her jealous at this time.

Zhu Xu patiently chatted with Queen Zhang for a long time before leaving. Zhu Xu stood up and secretly winked at Wu Rou who was not far away.

Wu Rou sent Zhu Xu out calmly, and Zhu Xu had the opportunity to ask in a low voice: "Is there anything unusual about the emperor's wife recently?"

Wu Rou shook her head slightly, and also said in a low voice: "There is nothing unusual. The empress saw the imperial doctor in the morning, and only then was she sure she was pregnant with a dragon child."

Zhu Xu nodded. It was obvious that Empress Zhang was very taboo and didn't show it. She walked and said, "What's the matter with the maid who told you to keep an eye on her?"

Wu Rou frowned slightly, and then said: "There is nothing unusual, but I went to Xian'an Palace yesterday."

Xian'an Palace?

Zhu Xu raised his brows, this is the place where the Ke family lives, and now the Ke family is still in Henan, it should be the Ke family's party members who are preparing for the way out, right?

"Well, keep an eye on it." Zhu Xu said, and after a short pause, he said, "Find a chance and ask Huan'er to transfer the person away, so that you don't always have to worry about it."

Wu Rou and the two sisters already had some understanding of some of the dirty things in the palace, so they quickly agreed upon hearing this.

Only then did Zhu Xu wave his hand, signaling that she didn't need to give it away.

Zhu Xu returned to Jinghuan Palace, sat on the recliner, squinted, looked outside, his mind kept turning, and he searched all the memories, but he still couldn't find such a person.

"Who is it?"

Zhu Xu muttered to himself with flickering eyes, logically speaking, such a person would not be unknown in history.

"Did I miss someone?"

Zhu Xu couldn't figure out that he had been familiar with the inside and outside of this palace in the past few years, and he wanted to change everyone, but none of them fit.

"Your Highness." Cao Huachun carefully moved in front of Zhu Xu, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I have checked, and there is nothing unusual in the palace recently, and no strangers have been found when entering or leaving the palace."

Zhu Xu felt a little uneasy, but he was not afraid. He pondered for a while and said, "Let your disciples and godsons do things honestly these few days, and don't worry about other things. Let's not move, just wait and see."

Since Zhu Youxiao intends to go to the south of the Yangtze River, there must be something happening later, he wants to see how long this person can hide.
