Minghe Hall.

"This matter ends here!"

"I'm tired, please step aside!"

"Tong Shangshu, don't forget what I just said! If anyone persists in leaving, I will never forgive him lightly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands impatiently, and as he spoke, he got up and walked to the back hall.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang who suddenly stood up and left, Bao Zhao froze in place in surprise, frowning.

Tong Wenjie and Li Jinglong, on the other hand, did not dare to say another word and hurriedly turned around and left. However, at this time, there was a layer of haze that could not be dispelled between Li Jinglong's brows.

"Master Bao came at the right time. Let me guess, whose mouth are you talking about?"

Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Bao Zhao, holding his chin in one hand, looking up and down, and said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean by this?!"

Bao Zhao frowned, looked at Zhu Yunxi in confusion, and asked in a deep voice.

"Means nothing."

"It's really not that interesting. I thought you could come up with something new this time, but it turns out you're still vulnerable."

"Lord Baozhaoba, right? I remember you!"

Zhu Yunxi snorted disdainfully, turned around and walked straight out, while saying coldly.

Bao Zhao froze on the spot, his brows furrowed and his face solemn. After stopping for a long time, he was the last one to leave the hall helplessly.

When he arrived outside the hall, he discovered that the courtiers who were kneeling outside the hall had disappeared.

What he didn't know was that when Tong Wenjie relayed Zhu Yuanzhang's words to the ministers, those people fled like frightened birds.

...

Splendid Palace.

In the main hall, Zhu Yunwen and Crown Princess Lu were waiting for news from the Minghe Palace. Huang Zicheng also stood respectfully aside with a slightly solemn expression.

Crown Princess Lu's eyes were filled with anticipation, and even a hint of excitement. In order to seize this opportunity, she had done her best, just to help her son regain the position of grandson!

But Zhu Yunwen on the side was always at a loss, with a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

From the beginning, he did not agree with his mother and concubine using this incident to attack Zhu Yunxi, because there was always an intuition telling him that there seemed to be too many doubts hidden behind this incident.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded from outside the hall.

"Prince Princess, Duke Cao Guo has arrived!"

Ji Quan, the chief eunuch of Jinxiu Palace, hunched over, quickly walked into the hall and said respectfully sideways.

Following the words, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong walked in quickly from outside.

After hearing Ji Quan's words, the Crown Princess was the first to stand up and looked expectantly at Li Jinglong who had "returned triumphantly". However, when she saw Li Jinglong's pale face, her originally excited heart instantly sank.

"It didn't work?!"

Crown Princess Lu's expression of excitement froze on her face, and she asked unwillingly.

Li Jinglong sighed and nodded helplessly, with a serious look on his face.

"what happened?!"

Princess Lu gritted her teeth and asked in a deep voice, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Your Majesty summoned the grandson of the three emperors. The grandson of the third emperor also admitted that he ordered the killing of Cai Yuanpei's son. Tong Wenjie, the minister of household affairs, and Bao Zhao, the censor of Zuodu, all met with your majesty and asked him to severely punish the grandson of the third emperor. Your majesty was furious."

"Originally, I thought everything was a done deal, but I didn't expect that the Third Emperor's grandson suddenly took out a secret file recording the evil deeds Cai Yuanpei's son had done in the past three years!"

"There are many criminal evidences recorded on it. No matter which one is brought out, it is enough to kill his head! After His Majesty read it, not only did he not hold the Third Emperor's grandson accountable, but he angrily reprimanded everyone and immediately sent Jin Yiwei to verify the secret files. The listed evidence of guilt.”

"And he also passed down an oral instruction that before the matter becomes clear, whoever dares to make trouble for the Third Emperor's grandson again will be punished for treason!"

Li Jinglong sighed and told everything that happened in Minghe Hall.

After listening to Li Jinglong's words, the Crown Princess looked stiff and sat helplessly on the chair, with a look of reluctance on her face.

Zhu Yunwen frowned and looked at Li Jinglong coldly, with a hint of reproach in his eyes, as if he had expected this result.

"He is humble and incompetent in his position. He has betrayed the trust of the Crown Princess. He must atone for his sins in the future."

"But the most important thing right now is to think carefully about how to respond next. I feel that our reaction seems to be a bit excessive, and His Majesty seems to have noticed something."

Li Jinglong blamed himself, and then analyzed with some concern.

"Someone has revealed their true identity?!"

When Crown Princess Lu heard this, her expression suddenly changed, she looked at Li Jinglong and Huang Zicheng, and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but I always feel that we have fallen into a trap."

Li Jinglong shook his head and said in a daze.

After hearing what Li Jinglong said, the expressions of Crown Princess Lu and Huang Zicheng suddenly changed at the same time, and they were a little shocked.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen suddenly stood up and walked straight out without saying a word from beginning to end.

"Yunwen?! Where are you going?! Think of a solution quickly!"

Crown Princess Lu was stunned for a moment and said loudly in a hurry.

"My child said that everything should not be rushed! But you just don't listen!"

"If the truth is really exposed, it's too late to make amends now! From now on, no matter what happens, everyone must stop their actions immediately and try to distance themselves from the whole thing!"

"Don't listen, don't ask, don't do anything, is the best way to deal with it!"

"The rest depends on what Grandpa Huang does!"

Zhu Yunwen stopped, turned his back to Crown Princess Lu, said something in a deep voice, and then left the hall without looking back.

He had an intuition that everything that happened now was planned secretly by the third uncle, but he couldn't believe it, let alone think about it, because if that was really the case, he would have set up a world that was probably more terrifying than his fourth uncle. opponent!

The remaining people looked at each other, frowning, and fell into silence.

Only then did Crown Princess Lu finally wake up, but it was already too late.

...

Minghe Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon couch in the back hall, his brows furrowed and his face gloomy.

Since the confrontation in the front hall, he has been silent until now, as if there was a dark cloud above his head, full of murderous intent.

Wang Defa waited quietly aside, not daring to say a word.

In the past, he would have said a few words of relief and reminded His Majesty to pay attention to the dragon body, but today he acted mute and did not dare to take a breath.

"Wang Defa, do you think Zuodu Yushi Baozhao appeared too quickly today?"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.

"what?"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Wang De was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on his face.

This sudden sentence left him confused.

"There are also Tong Wenjie, the Minister of Revenue, and those ministers I didn't summon. Why do I always feel like they have been discussed in advance?"

"Before I even asked, they all ran into the palace one by one to add insult to injury, as if they wanted Yunxi to be executed by me on the spot!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly looked up at Wang Defa, frowned, and asked thoughtfully.

"this..."

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's second sentence, Wang Defa instantly turned pale and was speechless.

Having served in the imperial court for many years, he soon understood the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words. If it was really as His Majesty thought, what those courtiers did today was under the instructions of others!

What could have caused such a big scene? !

In addition to fighting for the heirloom, what else can it be? !

But no matter how much or how he said this kind of thing, it was always a taboo!

So he can only act stupid!

"I haven't planned anything yet, I just want to make up for Yunxi, and they can't sit still?!"

"Hmph! Do they think I am too old to see anything?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly while thinking deeply, his face was gloomy and scary.

Wang Defa stood there, taking a sneak peek at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and remained silent.

"Pass it to me! Let Jiang Yu secretly investigate and find out who is behind what happened today! I want to see who dares to use this matter to suppress Yunxi!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, he said coldly.

"According to the order!"

Wang Defa heard the words and immediately agreed respectfully, and quickly went to deliver the order without daring to show any slightest hesitation.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon couch, squinting his eyes and showing his composure without anger.

In fact, he had already guessed nine points in his mind, but he still didn't want to believe it until he had proof.

But at this moment, a young eunuch suddenly walked in quickly...
