Although Lao Zhu has doubts about Zhu Yunqi now, he is still his grandson after all.

Then I thought, listen to what this kid has to say.

"Let him in."

Zhu Yunqi entered the hall, knelt on the ground without saying a word, and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Grandson Zhu Yunwen, pay homage to Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunqi who was still wearing hemp and filial piety, put away the playbook in his hand, and said to Zhu Yunqi:

"You don't kneel in front of your father's spirit, what are you doing here?"

Under the gaze of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yunwen swallowed nervously.

then.

He raised his head and cupped his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson accidentally learned of a major event today, thinking that this matter is of great importance, I must report to Grandpa Huang as soon as possible..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said:

"Something important?"

"How important is it? Is it more important than kneeling down to your father?"

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said:

"That's natural."

"The grandson found out that there was something strange about the cause of his father's death, so he rushed to report it to the emperor's grandfather... just because he was afraid that if he concealed the matter, his father would die in peace!"

These words were far beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectation.

He didn't expect that Zhu Yunqi would take the initiative to say this.

Old Zhu squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunwen, saying:

"Go on."

"Grandfather, the death of father..."

Zhu Yunwen's forehead was sweating, and after struggling for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Someone is behind the plot!"

"And the grandson just learned that the person who murdered his father..."

"It turns out...it turns out to be a member of the Lu family!"

Chapter 217 The Burning Emperor

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunqi quietly.

Such a quiet reaction is not at all like the majestic emperor in Zhu Yunqi's impression.

His heart was beating wildly, and the pounding sound was like drumming to his own ears.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't speak, he could only say timidly:

"Grandpa Huang... this matter, this matter is related to the real cause of father's death, please also enlighten Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

Then said:

"Oh? What do you mean... the prince's death is related to the Lu family?"

"The three in Lu's mansion are all your own uncles."

"You came here to say that this matter is related to the Lu family... Then this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's rhetorical question made Zhu Yunqi tremble all over.

He immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Yuanzhang again, and said:

"Grandpa Huang...then the three Lu brothers are my uncles, but my father is more important to me! How could a grandson harm his own father? Isn't that even worse than a beast?"

"Although my grandson walks with them a lot on weekdays, I don't completely trust them. I am a descendant of the Zhu family, not a member of the Lu family...so the Lu residence also has hidden eyeliner for my grandson..."

"The news this time was told by my grandson's eyeliner!"

"Otherwise, my grandson will still be deceived by them!"

"This matter has nothing to do with my grandson in the slightest...Grandpa Huang please enlighten me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him coldly and said:

"You said the prince was murdered by members of the Lu family... do you have evidence?"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said:

"The grandson has no evidence."

"But the eyeliner that grandson arranged to lurk in Lu's house can never be created out of nothing."

"Grandson just thinks this is important, so he must come and tell Grandpa Huang..."

at this time.

Outside the Hall of Martial Arts.

A loud voice broke through the door.

"Is there no proof?"

"Coincidentally, I have it here!"

……

at the same time.

Lu House.

Lu Zhi finished his official business and returned to the mansion, just in time to meet the anxious old housekeeper.

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhi frowned and said:

"What's the matter, you look flustered, you are the chief steward of the Lu Mansion, how can you behave like this?"

The old butler stomped his feet anxiously:

"Master, please go to the inner school to have a look, our eldest lady is trapped in the inner school by Jin Yiwei, no one is allowed to enter or leave..."

"We can't get the eldest lady out at all!"

"Jinyiwei? Internal studies?!"

As soon as Lu Zhi heard this, the veins on his forehead bulged out of anxiety, and he asked:

"How could Jin Yiwei go to the inner school when he is so good?!"

"What are they looking for?"

The old butler was stunned by Lu Zhi's rhetorical question.

"Old...Master, what I'm talking about is Miss's matter..."

Lu Zhi waved his hand and said angrily:

"Miss' affairs are not important!"

"Now, hurry up and ask the second master and the third master to come back... No matter what they are doing! Let them come back immediately!"

The old butler nodded repeatedly and said:

"The old slave will go and ask them to come back."

Lu Zhi thought for a while, stopped the old housekeeper who was about to leave, and said:

"Also, send someone to the manor in the northern suburbs to see if there is any problem there!"

The old housekeeper even claimed it was, and seeing that Lu Zhi had no further orders, he left in a hurry.

Wait for the old butler to leave.

Lu Zhi stood at the gate and stomped his feet anxiously.

Jin Yiwei has tracked down the inner school, so it is very possible... He already knew that the prince was killed by someone!

If they get any evidence, everything will be over!

At this moment, Lu Zhi didn't care what happened to his daughter at all.Because he knew that Jin Yiwei was only investigating the case, and it was impossible to hurt the female family members of the inner school.

But once Jin Yiwei finds out something, then their Lu family will be completely finished!

……

Inside the Hall of Martial Arts.

Zhu Yunwen looked at an old Jin Yiwei with a face of astonishment, and strode into the Wuying Hall.

Even without waiting for the emperor's summons.

"Bold!"

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Hall of Martial Heroes?!"

Zhu Yunwen yelled at the old Jin Yiwei with staring eyes and raised eyebrows.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Zhu Yunqi who was kneeling on the ground, then cupped his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Your Majesty, I have found out about the murder of the prince, and I am here to report back."

Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't spoken yet.

Zhu Yunqi rushed to reprimand:

"As a subject, why don't you kneel when you see His Majesty?"

"Didn't you see that a grandson of the royal family is kneeling here?!"

Zhu Xiongying didn't want to talk to him at first, but when he heard what he said, he turned around and smiled:

"The grandson of the royal family?"

"you?"

"How do I remember that the eldest grandson of the emperor should be His Highness Zhu Xiongying?"

As soon as Zhu Yunwen heard the words Zhu Xiongying, he went crazy. He didn't even think that some words could not be said in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and said angrily:

"This person has died long ago, so I should naturally be counted as the eldest grandson of the emperor!"

The words just came out.

Zhu Yunqi realized something was wrong.

He quickly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Zhu Yunqi would have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be furious after hearing his words.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react at all at this time.

Instead, he looked at the two of them and didn't say much.

This made Zhu Yunqi a little confused.

It turned out that it wasn't anyone who would be severely reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang if he mentioned that Zhu Xiongying might not come back again?

Why does Zhu Yuanzhang look very calm today...

It's as if he doesn't care whether Zhu Xiongying is alive or dead?

Such an abnormality made Zhu Yunqi even more worried.

He is afraid of the angry emperor, but even more afraid of the hidden emperor.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yunqi whose complexion was getting worse and worse, shook his head disdainfully, and then continued to say to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, this case has been found out. It is the Lu family who secretly plotted to poison the crown prince!"

"I have obtained two statements here, signed by Lu Lian, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Zhi, and He Lin, the daughter of the Salt Transportation Department's fellow acquaintance, He Wudao."
