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

Splendid Palace.

"Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

The visitor stopped after hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, turned around and bowed to Zhu Yunwen.

"Go back and tell Jiang Wei that you will do what he wants."

"After the matter is completed, I will not forget him."

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly and said hesitantly.

"As ordered!"

The visitor was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly agreed.

Immediately, the man said goodbye to Zhu Yunwen and left Jinxiu Palace.

Zhu Yunwen began to pace in the hall, his expression gradually becoming serious.

At this point, in order to regain favor, he could only choose this unscrupulous method, because he didn't want to lose, even if he completely turned against the brother he grew up with.

Although using Jiang Yu to deal with Lao San didn't make him happy, he seemed to have no better choice at the moment. At least in the matter of Xie Linzhou, he had to win back a victory.

Zhu Yunxi's sudden rise was something he never expected. However, when he realized something was wrong, it seemed that everything was too late, because Zhu Yunxi always seemed to be one step ahead of him.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly realized that he cared about and desired the supreme throne far more than he imagined.

It was that younger brother who finally made him recognize himself.

...

Minghe Hall.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Huan, the commander of the personal army guard, is outside seeking an audience."

Wang Defa walked into the main hall quickly and respectfully reported to Zhu Yuanzhang who was still not resting.

Although Xie Linzhou has been arrested, the Jinyiwei has not yet sent the results of the interrogation, so even though Zhu Yuanzhang was very tired at this time, he still did not rest.

He wanted to finally confirm whether Xie Linzhou was really a traitor, or whether everything was just a pawn in the secret struggle for power between the second emperor's grandson and King Yan.

"Let him in."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said slowly.

Not long after, Xiao Huan followed Wang Defa and walked in cautiously.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

After coming closer, Xiao Huan bowed respectfully and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a solemn expression, and couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

"There were so many unprovoked chaos in the city last night. How did you become the commander of the personal guard?!"

"Can I still leave the important task of guarding Kyoto to you?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a stern look on his face, looked at the frightened Xiao Huan, and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I have always fulfilled my duties and never took my guard lightly. When something like this happened, I was filled with self-blame, so I didn't dare to slack off for a moment all night long. I personally led the whole city of Jinwu Guard to investigate!"

Xiao Huan was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground. He said with a self-blaming look on his face and his face was slightly pale.

"Have you found anything?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask with a sullen face.

"Reporting to your majesty, after investigation by the ministers, it has been found that the group of people who first attacked the liquor store and Jiaofang Division in the south of the city were spies from Beiyuan!"

Xiao Huan bowed his hands and answered loudly.

"Bei Yuan Secret Agent?!"

"really?!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened and he asked in a deep voice.

"Definitely!"

Xiao Huan nodded vigorously.

"Has it ever been captured?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"The incompetent ministers allowed them to escape, but after many investigations, it has been confirmed that they are Beiyuan spies! It is absolutely true!"

Xiao Huan shook his head reproachfully, and then said decisively.

He didn't know why His Majesty Taisun asked him to return to his life under the guise of Bei Yuan's spy. But now that the matter has come to this point, he can only take a gamble, otherwise he will not be able to explain to His Majesty.

After hearing Xiao Huan's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning. He remembered that Zhu Yunxi went into the palace last night to report that the Beiyuan army was about to invade the Ming border, and he couldn't help but look solemn and worried.

"Have you found the murderer who attacked the Lu family, but it's the same group?!"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Huan again and continued to ask.

"It has not been found out yet, but your majesty can rest assured that I will do my best to find out the matter!"

Xiao Huan thought about it for a moment and confirmed that the person who sent the message at that time only mentioned the Chengnan Wine Shop and the Jiaofang Division before he answered affirmatively.

"No need. Since you have been busy all night, go back to your hometown and rest early. You will be credited with being able to find out that Bei Yuan's secret agent sneaked into Kyoto."

"However, as the commander of the personal guard, you cannot escape the blame for such a big thing. Therefore, the merits and demerits are equal to each other, and there is no reward or punishment."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"I obey your order, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him respectfully.

"Go down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Huan agreed and left in a hurry.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not improve at this moment, but became more serious.

Beiyuan's secret agent suddenly appeared in Kyoto, which actually proved from the side that the confession Zhu Yunxi obtained from Naerbuhua was true.

However, what worries Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment is not the danger in the north, but Lu Wenbo's death and Xie Linzhou's rebellion.

He was worried that this was retaliation between King Yan and the second emperor's grandson, and he didn't want them to be secretly fighting for the position of crown prince.

Therefore, he did not let the Jinwu Guards continue to investigate the attack on the Lu family. He was worried that if the Jinwu Guards found something, the fight between the two for heir apparent would become known to everyone.

He planned to leave it to Jin Yiwei to secretly investigate this matter!

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Wang Defa to quietly go to Jinyiwei and ordered Jiang Ye to investigate secretly.

...

Jinyi Guardhouse.

In the prison, the commander Jiang Wei was interrogating Xie Linzhou. Zhu Yunxi sat aside a little bored, holding a glass of wine in his hand and tasting it silently, as if he was indifferent to what was happening in front of him.

At this time, Xie Linzhou was already covered in scars and his clothes were stained with blood. It looked like he had been severely tortured.

However, looking at Jiang Wei's furious look, Zhu Yunxi already understood that Xie Linzhou still had not admitted that he had colluded with the rebel party.

Although he was ordered to interrogate Xie Linzhou, he had not taken the initiative to ask a question since he came here. He acted as if he had nothing to do with the matter and had never intervened.

Jiang Wei, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned slightly and glanced at Zhu Yunxi from the corner of his eye from time to time, his eyes full of doubts.

He didn't know what the grandson in front of him was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

The news from Jinxiu Palace has been secretly told to him by his subordinates, but at this time, he can only restrain his hands. Even if he wants to do something, he does not dare to do anything under the eyes of this great grandson.

"Xie Linzhou, now that things have happened, do you still want to continue to be stubborn?!"

"You think you can get away with it by refusing to admit it?!"

"Now that you're in prison, you can't pass this level easily!"

After a while, Jiang Wei looked at Xie Linzhou who was kneeling on the ground again, and asked through gritted teeth, with a hint of impatience between his brows.

"I have said it many times, I have never colluded with the rebel party!"

"Why bother to inflict a crime?! If you want to kill or behead, you have to do whatever you want! In short, I thank Lin Zhou for being loyal to the court and your Majesty from the beginning to the end! There has never been a second thought!"

Xie Linzhou had a complicated expression and said categorically, still refusing to admit it.

He knew that from the moment he was imprisoned, death would be a matter of time. Regardless of whether he colluded with the rebel party or not, His Majesty had completely lost trust in him.

But he knew in his heart that no matter what, he could not admit betraying the court and colluding with the rebel party without any reason, otherwise the entire Xie family would be implicated!

The feeling of being framed really made him despair.

Why should you admit something you haven't done? !

But now no one seems to believe him anymore! Everyone thinks he is a traitor who forgets his roots and pursues profits! traitor!

"Okay, since you are unrepentant, I will slowly accompany you to see how many days you can survive in this prison!"

"After you experience all the torture instruments here, let's see if you can still be as tough-talking as you are now!"

"That's it for today. Go back and think about it! The envoy will come again tomorrow!"

Jiang Wei snorted coldly, glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and said in a deep voice.

If he wanted to do what Jinxiu Palace wanted, he could only do it when Zhu Yunxi was not present, so as not to leave any clues, so he had to buy time and create opportunities.

He didn't believe that Zhu Yunxi would run to the imperial prison every day for nothing!

What he wants to consume is not Xie Linzhou, but Zhu Yunxi...
