Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?
Chapter 23 The culprit
Wandering Palace.
Zhu Yunxi was having dinner in the main hall, but there was a dish on the table that should not appear in the palace banquet.
Fried Gulouzi.
"Your Highness, is this food really that delicious?"
Zi Ning, who was waiting on the side, blinked his big eyes and watched Zhu Yunxi put down other delicacies without moving his chopsticks, but he ate the Gulouzi food with gusto, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's delicious. Why don't you try it too?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled, pointed at the few ancient buildings left on the plate, and said slowly.
"The slaves dare not."
Zi Ning shook his head and said hurriedly, but he didn't forget to glance at it twice more and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"You can eat whatever you want. The Wandering Palace is different from other palaces. It doesn't have such rules, and I don't have that much attention to detail."
Zhu Yunxi continued to raise his hand to signal and said indifferently.
He didn't like the red tape that filled every moment of life in ancient times. Just remembering it already gave him a headache. Perhaps because of this, he and Red Kite, who were almost inseparable, became more and more like friends as they got along.
Zi Ning hesitated, and finally picked up a piece of Gulouzi under Zhu Yunxi's seemingly commanding tone, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
"Well, it's really delicious!"
After Zi Ning chewed two mouthfuls, her eyes widened in surprise, she nodded vigorously and said, revealing an extremely innocent and cute look.
She has been in the palace since she was a child and has been growing up in the palace. Everything outside is beyond her imagination.
Zhu Yunxi had never taken her out of the palace. The good-for-nothing before might have thought she was a burden, but the reason why he did this was because he didn't want such a lovely girl to go through some troubles that she shouldn't have experienced.
In the past three years, he has killed many people, and only Hong Yuan has been by his side.
Hong Yuan knew almost everything about him except for the time he traveled through time.
"I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled, picked up one and ate it.
Zi Ning looked at the free and unrestrained Zhu Yunxi and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
She didn't know where to start, but she gradually realized that the His Highness in front of her was different from before. Although he still looked like a playboy, he already seemed to be a different person.
In the past, His Highness had never been so close to her. He was always yelling, shouting, and scolding her. But since three years ago, everything seems to have changed.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Hong Yuan walked in quickly from outside.
"I came back just in time. I still have the last one. Do you want to eat it?"
Seeing the red kite, Zhu Yunxi smiled, picked up the last piece of ancient building on the plate, and asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, there is a result."
Hong Yuan glanced at Zi Ning next to her, bowed her hands, and said softly.
"Zi Ning, go down and have a rest first, and come back to clean up later after you finish eating."
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zi Ning beside him, said with a smile, and then put the last Gulouzi into his mouth.
Zi Ning agreed and slowly retreated.
There are some things that Zhu Yunxi never lets Zi Ning know and always avoids them deliberately, because in his heart, Zi Ning is also a miserable person, and the reason why he hides everything from her is to protect her.
But in fact, he knew in his heart that if what he was planning to do was exposed, everyone in the Liang Palace would probably suffer as well.
So he can't lose and doesn't want to lose.
"Go ahead."
After Zi Ning left, Zhu Yunxi also put on a serious expression and said lightly.
"Shopkeeper Xue died without saying a word."
"Then he was sent to the Pro-Military Guards Command and Envoy Department along with Xiao Qing's body."
Hong Yuan said slowly, without any expression on her face.
"So, Xiao Qing was really sent by him."
Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and sneered, saying disdainfully.
"It seems that not everyone believes that His Highness has that kind of disease, and they have begun to suspect that His Highness deliberately spread the news."
"Moreover, didn't Zi Ning already report to you that the Second Emperor's grandson also came to inquire about it?"
Hong Yuan nodded and said seriously.
"It doesn't matter. Without evidence, they can only make random assumptions and can't touch me."
"If a person has too many doubts in his heart, over time, his mind will be confused. This is the result I want."
"As long as they are upset, they can't do anything to me!"
Zhu Yunxi snorted lightly and said with disdain.
"Do you need to send Shopkeeper Xue and his family out of the city for a while?"
Hong Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked slowly.
"No, if King Yan really doubts me, he won't touch them easily. That will only make me more vigilant. He definitely doesn't want to alert the snake, so Lao Xue's family is safe."
"But since Shopkeeper Xue died for me, I can't treat him badly. Give more pension to his family and close the blacksmith shop. I will be responsible for the rest of their lives."
"Also, I would like to remind our people to take more care of him. If the man in the family dies, don't be bullied."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said seriously.
"Yes!"
Hongyuan nodded and agreed respectfully, with a flash of respect in his eyes.
Perhaps it was precisely because of Zhu Yunxi's seemingly effortless measures that she was willing to stay, even putting her life and death at risk.
However, she never showed this respect.
...
Minghe Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon couch with an expressionless face, looking straight at Xie Ji, the eunuch of the inner palace who was kneeling in front of him, and did not speak for a long time.
Xie Ji knelt on the ground, trembling since he entered the hall.
After being arrested by the Royal Forest Army, he knew that he was finished, but he didn't know the reason for being arrested.
He made too many mistakes!
Human greed is endless. As long as you get away with it once, you will become bolder and bolder.
But at this time, he knew in his heart that it was already too late.
"How much money did you receive from the Third Emperor's grandson?"
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally spoke.
"what?"
"I don't know what your Majesty means..."
"What money? This slave has never received any money..."
Xie Ji was stunned for a moment, shook his head hastily, and said mournfully.
"With the money confiscated, why do you dare to risk dereliction of duty?!"
"Without the money, where did those unknown women in his palace come from?! Did they fall from the sky?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he shouted sharply.
"Are there many women in the Wandering Palace? Isn't there only one maid?"
Xie Ji was shocked, with a confused look on his face, and asked in surprise.
By now, he already knew what mistake he was arrested for.
"How dare you lie to His Majesty when you are about to die?!"
"You don't even want the whole body?!"
When Wang Defa heard this, he kicked Xie Ji on the lower back and scolded him loudly.
There were suddenly so many maids in the Wandering Palace, and he, the chief eunuch, could not escape responsibility.
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"I realize my mistake. His Highness the Third Emperor's behavior is well known to everyone in the harem. He has indeed brought prostitutes back to the palace more than once, but I did not collect money from him."
"The Third Emperor's grandson has a noble status, how can I dare to refuse? He also threatened me that if he leaks out, he will kill me!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
After Xie Ji's eyes rolled around, he felt worried and hurriedly lay on the ground and replied tremblingly.
"Then did you know that among those maikos, there is a woman who can single-handedly injure the commander of the Imperial Guard?!"
After hearing Xie Ji's confession, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes with murderous intent in his eyes, and then asked coldly.
"The slave doesn't know!"
"Damn the slave!"
Hearing this, Xie Ji was shocked again and his face was ashen. He didn't expect that he would let in such a master. If the grandson of the Third Emperor had evil intentions and assassinated people in the palace, he would have caused a huge disaster. ! Ten heads are not enough to chop off!
"Kill it."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced coldly at Xie Ji, who was trembling all over, waved his hand and said impatiently.
"Come on!"
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Wang Defa turned around and shouted outside the palace.
As soon as he finished speaking, two Yulin guards walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty! This slave is wronged!"
"This slave really doesn't know that there is a master hidden inside..."
Amid wailing, Xie Ji was dragged out by two Yulin guards. No matter how much he cried out for injustice, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer looked at him again.
It didn't take long for the wailing to stop.
"Your Majesty, this servant is guilty!"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Defa also knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a pale face, cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
"What's the crime?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced coldly and asked casually.
"The slave's lack of control resulted in extremely dangerous people being mixed into the palace. Although the slave was not responsible for it, as the chief eunuch, the slave ultimately neglected to supervise the eunuchs..."
"I also ask your majesty to come down!"
Wang Defa said tremblingly, his face full of regret.
"Then why don't I kill you too?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Defa and asked slowly, with no thought on his expressionless face.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Wang Defa swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and trembled even more...
Zhu Yunxi was having dinner in the main hall, but there was a dish on the table that should not appear in the palace banquet.
Fried Gulouzi.
"Your Highness, is this food really that delicious?"
Zi Ning, who was waiting on the side, blinked his big eyes and watched Zhu Yunxi put down other delicacies without moving his chopsticks, but he ate the Gulouzi food with gusto, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
