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

Wandering Palace.

"How long have I slept?"

Zhu Yunxi turned his head and glanced at Zi Ning and Liuli who rushed to the edge of the bed, and asked lightly. The fragments of the dream that appeared in his mind gradually dissipated, but the smile at the corner of his mouth still remained.

"Reporting to Your Highness, it has been six hours!"

Zi Ning smiled bitterly and replied slowly.

Hearing Zi Ning's answer, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Six hours, that’s twelve hours! It seems that I have been really tired these past few days!

"Your Highness, please have tea."

Liuli poured a cup of tea, brought it to him respectfully, and spoke softly.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and glanced at the obedient Liuli, slowly crawled out of bed, took the teacup, drank it all, and suddenly felt very relaxed all over his body.

"Your Highness, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Zi Ning was not willing to lag behind and hurriedly asked.

Zhu Yunxi slept for six hours, from morning to night, with almost no food or drink.

"I'm indeed a little hungry."

“It’s best to have wine and meat!”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded.

"My slave, go and prepare now. Your Highness will wait a moment!"

Zi Ning said happily and immediately turned around and ran outside.

Zhu Yunxi watched Zi Ning's brisk back, shook his head with a smile, and turned to look at Liuli, who was slightly embarrassed.

As Zi Ning left. Liuli's expression clearly showed a trace of unnaturalness, and she seemed a little nervous when she was alone with Zhu Yunxi.

So many things happened during these days that Zhu Yunxi did not spend much energy on Liuli. Some things are still a mystery, such as Liuli's true identity and whether her appearance in Jiaofangsi was a coincidence or a long-planned plan. These must be investigated in detail.

"How is it? Are you still used to it?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Liuli and asked lightly.

"Everything is fine, Your Highness, please don't miss me. Thank you very much for taking me in."

Liuli bowed respectfully and replied gratefully.

"You still seem to be afraid of me."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and asked softly.

"No..."

Liuli was stunned for a moment and shook her head hastily, but although she tried to deny it with her mouth, her body was very honest and she was nervous and at a loss.

"There's none?"

"Then come closer."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, waved and said.

Liuli swallowed nervously, and after a moment's hesitation, she slowly approached Zhu Yunxi, her face gradually turning red.

She had already thought through all the things that might happen next in her mind!

But just when Liuli's heart was about to jump out of her throat, footsteps suddenly came from the door, and Hongyuan, dressed in red, hurried back in the moonlight, covered in dust.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Liuli took the opportunity to stop and immediately stepped aside, not daring to look into Zhu Yunxi's eyes from the beginning to the end.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Hongyuan, who was walking straight towards him, and suddenly lost interest and smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness!"

Hong Yuan came closer and bowed respectfully, with an expressionless face.

She didn't know what had just happened, let alone that she had ruined His Highness's good deeds.

"You go down first."

Zhu Yunxi waved to the nervous Liuli and said something.

"Yes!"

Liuli agreed and immediately left the hall in a hurry, as if running for his life.

"What's the matter?!"

Zhu Yunxi's expression returned to normal, he looked at Hongyuan and asked lightly.

"I have just received news that Jiang Yu, on His Majesty's orders, is leading the Jin Yiwei to investigate the attack on Jiaofangsi and the Lu family. It seems that His Majesty does not fully believe what His Highness said."

Hong Yuan bowed her hands, frowned and said, with a flash of worry in her eyes.

"As expected."

"If he really trusted someone so easily, there wouldn't be so many important officials in the court who died in mysterious circumstances."

Zhu Yunxi sneered and curled his lips.

Hong Yuan's expression changed slightly and she didn't say anything. His Highness could say something like this, but she couldn't. If she said it, it would be treason!

"Is there any movement over at Jinxiu Palace?"

Zhu Yunxi paused and continued to ask.

"After the second emperor's grandson returned, he locked himself in the dormitory and saw no one."

"Although Crown Princess Lu is unwilling to do so, with the murder of Lu Wenbo, I believe she will not be able to cause much trouble in a short time."

"However, after Feihu's secret investigation, we learned that the connection between Jinyiwei and Jinxiu Palace seems to be getting closer and closer recently."

Hong Yuan cupped her hands and replied in a deep voice.

Hearing Hong Yuan's words, Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, and then a cold smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that Zhu Yunwen was already doubting him, but he didn't take it to heart, because it was useless even if Zhu Yunwen was alert. Everything he did was carefully planned, and it was impossible to leave any clues or evidence!

"Your Highness, it's time to eat."

At this moment, Zi Ning walked in quickly with wine and food, and said hello with a smile.

Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything more to Hong Yuan. He stood up and came to the table with satisfaction and started to enjoy dinner.

...

Afternoon the next day.

Minghe Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned quietly on the dragon couch, his eyes slightly closed, his brows slightly furrowed, obviously worried.

A day and a night have passed, and there is still no news from Jinyiwei.

There are still no clues about the murderer of Lu Wenbo, and the Jinwu Guard and Xiaoqi Guard have made no progress at all.

Perhaps it was because of his age. Although he slept well last night, Zhu Yuanzhang still looked very haggard and aged.

Wang Defa waited respectfully and took good care of him. Looking at the haggard His Majesty, his brows were full of worry.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and a young eunuch entered the palace to report that Jiang Ying, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, wanted to see him.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became energetic and hurriedly waved to Jiang Yu to come in immediately.

"See Your Majesty!"

Soon, Jiang Wei walked into the hall quickly and bowed respectfully.

"Did you find anything?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, stared at Jiang Yu, and asked loudly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I can confirm that the people who attacked Jiaofangsi and the Lu family are indeed two groups."

"But these two groups seemed to be well prepared, not impromptu. From the moment they took action to the time they evacuated, everything was very cautious and they did not leave any clues."

"But after Wei Chen investigated all night, he discovered another thing!"

Jiang Wei bowed his hands and said the bad result first, then changed the topic and said with a solemn expression.

"What's the matter?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"According to reports from eyeliners, a suspicious person who shouldn't have appeared in Kyoto has appeared in Kyoto recently. It may be related to this incident!"

Jiang Wei paused and replied solemnly.

"who?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he continued to ask.

"King Yan's confidant, Zhang Yu!"

Jiang Wei took a sneak glance at Zhu Yuanzhang, cupped his hands, and said cautiously.

"what?!"

After hearing Jiang Wei's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically and he couldn't help but sit up straight, his brows filled with shock.

Zhu Yuanzhang was no stranger to Zhang Yu. He was the old man who had been with Zhu Di before King Yan Zhu Di came to Peking to join the vassal!

Suddenly appearing in Kyoto at this time is no accident!

"You mean, the attack on the Lu family is related to this person?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

"Wei Chen doesn't dare to make random guesses, but I just feel that it may not be simple for this person to show up in Kyoto at this time."

Jiang Wei said hesitantly.

"Where is this person now?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered and asked coldly, his face gradually darkening.

Zhang Yu's appearance made him feel that the fight between the second emperor's grandson and King Yan for the heir apparent was not groundless.

"Wei Chen has ordered people to search with all his strength, but there is no trace of this person anymore. I am afraid he has left Kyoto."

"However, Weichen found out that after entering Beijing, this person frequently appeared near Liuguang Cloth Shop on South Street!"

"Wei Chen thought that there might be hidden people hiding in this flowing village..."

Jiang Wei shook his head and answered cautiously, paying careful attention to Zhu Yuanzhang's expression.

Upon hearing Jiang Wei's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's entire face became extremely gloomy, and his fists clenched squeakingly.

In fact, you don't need to think about it to know that this kind of thing must exist. Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that there is more than one faction lurking behind the scenes in Kyoto?

But this kind of thing cannot be seen in the light. Once it is seen in the light, it must not be tolerated!

"What should you do? I don't need to remind you, right?"

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down his emotions, looked at Jiang Yu again, and said in a deep voice.

"Wei Chen understands."

"Will Zhang Yu's whereabouts continue to be traced?"

Jiang Wei respectfully agreed, and then continued to ask.

“That’s it for now.”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, said something coldly, and then waved his hand, signaling Jiang Wei to retreat.

Jiang Wei hesitated for a moment, then immediately bowed respectfully and slowly exited the hall.

He knew in his heart that His Majesty was just knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and had no intention of getting into it...
