Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Splendid Palace.

"What's wrong? It's not going well?"

Seeing her frowning son, Crown Princess Lu hesitated for a moment and asked with concern.

Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything, walked by with a dull expression, and sat aside silently.

"what happened?"

Crown Princess Lu frowned, turned to look at Huang Zicheng and Tong Wenjie who had returned with Zhu Yunwen, and asked in confusion.

But the expressions of these two people at this time were not much better.

"The matter of the traitor has indeed been truthfully reported to His Majesty..."

"but..."

Huang Zicheng sighed and spoke slowly, but stopped midway through his words. After looking up at Zhu Yunzhen, he shook his head helplessly, turned and walked away.

"But what?!"

Crown Princess Lu frowned even more when she saw Huang Zicheng walking away, and then looked at Tong Wenjie.

"However, His Majesty did not express anything at that time, neither praise nor blame. He only ordered His Highness not to interfere with the traitor matter anymore, and asked His Highness to hand over Xie Linzhou and all the witnesses to the Jinyi Guards."

"Looking at His Majesty's intentions, it seems that he does not believe His Majesty and is ready to let the Jin Yiwei intervene in the investigation."

Tong Wenjie hesitated for a moment and said solemnly.

"what?!"

"Why is this happening?!"

After hearing this, Crown Princess Lu couldn't help but show doubts on her face. She looked at the three of them in confusion and asked.

Huang Zicheng and Tong Wenjie smiled bitterly and shook their heads, saying nothing.

Zhu Yunwen on the side ignored the mother-in-law's inquiry and couldn't help but clenched his fists, with a trace of irritation between his brows.

"You don't have to think too much. The traitor is not a trivial matter. What's more, Xie Linzhou is a minister and holds a high position of power. It is natural for Your Majesty to treat him with caution."

"As long as there are no mistakes, Jin Yiwei will soon confirm that you did not arrest the wrong person."

Crown Princess Lu hesitated for a moment, calmed down, walked to her son and whispered comfort.

"The focus now is not whether Xie Linzhou is a traitor, but that I seem to have lost the trust of Grandpa Huang..."

"In the past, Grandpa Huang never questioned his ministers. The fact that he asked Jin Yiwei to intervene is enough to explain everything..."

Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"Even so, so what?! No one's trust in a person is eternal! Your Majesty is right about the situation and not the person. Maybe it's just a traitor. It's a serious matter, so be cautious! Don't think too much!"

"In any case, you have done more and better than Zhu Yunxi in finding the traitor! Your Majesty is wise and must have noticed it!"

"From this point of view, you have defeated Zhu Yunxi!"

"Didn't His Majesty recently decree that he should be responsible for Bei Yuan's surrender and his intention to rebel? Look at how many days have passed, what has he found out?"

"I'm afraid he is the one who really lost the Sacred Heart!"

Crown Princess Lu looked at her decadent son and patiently comforted him with a few words. Then she mentioned Zhu Yunxi who was not doing his job recently and said with a sneer.

After hearing his mother's words, Zhu Yunwen's solemn expression softened slightly, but he was still not happy.

Whether the traitor is Xie Linzhou is not what he cares about most now. What he cares about most is Grandpa Huang's attitude towards him.

Once you lose your favor, it may be difficult to get back everything that originally belonged to you!

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Li Jinglong walked in quickly from outside the palace, respectfully bowed to Zhu Yunwen and Crown Princess Lu, with an equally solemn expression.

"People were taken away?"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Li Jinglong and asked with a frown.

"Take them away. Jiang Yu personally went to the guard to pick up the people."

Li Jinglong nodded and said helplessly.

Originally, they all thought this was an opportunity to turn defeat into victory, but they didn't expect it to end like this.

"Did I really arrest the wrong person?"

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment and murmured to himself.

"impossible!"

"The housekeeper of Xie's Mansion, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower, and the remnants of the rebels have all personally confirmed that Xie Linzhou is a traitor and can't go wrong!"

"Your Highness, you don't have to doubt it. You personally interrogated the steward of the Xie Mansion at that time. The three of them have nothing to do with each other. They couldn't have colluded in advance to frame Xie Linzhou, right?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. Even if Jinyiwei intervenes, there will be no other results!"

Li Jinglong shook his head and said decisively.

He personally arrested the traitor and got the confession with great difficulty. The shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower was only willing to tell the truth under his intimidation. When he interrogated the housekeeper of Xie Mansion, many people were present. He would never believe it. There is something wrong with it.

After hearing Li Jinglong's words, Zhu Yunwen nodded thoughtfully, dispelling his doubts.

As long as it is finally confirmed that Xie Linzhou is the traitor, Grandpa Huang will never turn a blind eye to his contribution.

"By the way, didn't you say earlier that the third child went to the Criminal Department just after nightfall? Is there any news after that? Has the prisoner been interrogated?"

Zhu Yunwen took a long breath, paused, suddenly thought of something, and continued to ask.

"Too many things happened tonight. I haven't paid much attention to that at the moment. But don't worry, Your Highness, according to the information I have, the Third Emperor Sun didn't really go to investigate the case at all, because he went to the Criminal Department after being drunk."

"And not long after arriving at the Punishment Department, I fell asleep due to excessive drinking. I woke up two hours later. Then, instead of interrogating the criminal, I actually played chess with someone from the Punishment Department, and even said that whoever could beat him would be rewarded. One hundred taels of silver, it can be said that the whole punishment department is in chaos."

Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.

"Look, what did I say?"

After hearing this, Crown Princess Lu sneered disdainfully and said.

Huang Zicheng and Tong Wenjie on the side also shook their heads, but their faces did not reveal the slightest surprise. It seemed that these things happened to Zhu Yunxi very normally.

Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief and asked Li Jinglong and others to leave Jinxiu Palace on the pretext that he was tired and ready to rest.

Crown Princess Lu comforted her son for a few words and returned to her bedroom.

However, after everyone left, Zhu Yunwen did not rest. Instead, he walked alone in the hall and fell into deep thought.

A lot of things did happen tonight. He had to collect his thoughts and think about what to do next.

...

Wandering Palace.

The early morning light gradually shines in the east, and the long night finally passes.

However, Zhu Yunxi did not rest when he returned to the palace. Instead, he kept waiting for the progress of the situation. For many people, this long night was destined to change many things, including himself.

"Your Highness, Cao Yan is here."

At this moment, Hong Yuan slowly came to the door of the palace, raised her hands and reported.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi saw Cao Yan appearing behind Hong Yuan.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved, signaling Cao Yan to come in.

"Your Majesty, Cao Yan, comes to see His Highness Taisun!"

Cao Yan walked into the hall with a smile and bowed extremely respectfully.

After everything that happened last night, he almost revered Zhu Yunxi as a god in his heart. In his eyes, this useless grandson of the emperor who seemed to have accomplished nothing had become an omnipotent being.

Although he didn't know the emperor's grandson's overall plan and only knew the part he was responsible for, it was enough to frighten him, especially the half of the list of hidden stakes that appeared in the Lu family by accident.

He knew that it must be the handiwork of the grandson in front of him!

"How about it?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Cao Yan and asked casually, with a relaxed smile on his lips.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Zhang Yu has withdrawn from Kyoto with all the hidden stakes in Kyoto, leaving only Xiaguan and Liuguang Buzhuang in the south of the city."

"The hidden pile layout planned by King Yan for many years fell apart overnight."

Cao Yan cupped his hands and said respectfully.

Although he had long known that these things were part of Zhu Yunxi's plan, when he said it himself, he suddenly realized how terrifying Zhu Yunxi was.

So many things happened overnight. Not only did they destroy the hidden stake layout in the north, they also severely damaged the Lu family and weakened the power of the Jinxiu Palace. However, the grandson in front of him didn't even show his face. It was simply unbelievable!

But what he didn’t know was that something even more exciting was yet to come! What he saw was just the tip of the iceberg of Zhu Yunxi's plan...
