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

Minghe Hall.

"Get up."

Seeing Wang Defa kneeling on the ground trembling, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Wang Defa heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"I'll spare your life this time, but if you dare to do this again, don't blame me for not remembering our decades of friendship."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Wang Defa and said word by word.

"The slave obeys the order!"

Wang Defa hurriedly expressed his position, as if he knew his mistakes and could correct them.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more and turned around to read the memorial.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with those maids of unknown origin who are wandering in the palace?"

Wang Defa hesitated and asked cautiously.

If this matter cannot be properly resolved, he will be unable to sleep at night and will be worried sooner or later.

"Since it is a matter of wandering from the palace, let Yunxi handle it by himself. I am too lazy to ask."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said casually.

"The slave understands."

Wang Defa understood instantly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly.

"By the way, I heard that the boy was not in the palace last night?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and spoke again.

The matter of not mentioning it has already caused uproar in the city, how could he not know it? Every time he thinks about it in the past two days, he can't help but get a headache.

"I heard that His Highness the Third Emperor Sun left the palace last night and went to the Jiaofang Division and did not return all night."

Wang Defa hesitated and spoke carefully, observing Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction as he spoke.

After hearing Wang Defa's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and then sighed helplessly.

"That's all, let him go."

"Suffering from that kind of disease is always a kind of pain that ordinary people cannot understand. It must be very painful for him. It would be better if he goes away more often. Maybe it will be beneficial to his healing."

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said helplessly.

Hearing the last half of Zhu Yuanzhang's sentence, Wang Defa felt very uncomfortable and always felt that it had something to do with him.

"That's what your Majesty said."

Wang Defa smiled awkwardly and agreed.

"By the way, how did the recent rumors of impotence spread in Kyoto?! Apart from me and Yunxi, you were the only one present in the hall at that time!"

"Tell me, what is going on?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Wang Defa again and asked in a deep voice.

"Oh, Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with this slave!"

"Even if my slave has nine heads, he wouldn't dare to spread such things at will!"

Wang De was stunned, knelt on the ground again, and said with a grimace.

"Huh, I'm sorry you don't have the guts!"

"But it's not appropriate to keep making such a fuss. After all, it concerns the royal family's face! It needs to be settled as soon as possible!"

"Pass on my decree and ask the Central Military Governor's Office to come forward and put this matter down as soon as possible. If anyone dares to gossip behind his back, I will cut out his tongue!"

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

"According to the order!"

Wang Defa nodded and replied hurriedly and respectfully.

"Get up, I'm shocked. You have been serving me for many years, and you don't even have this bit of concentration."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and said mockingly.

"Oh, Your Majesty, these two actions have almost scared the courage out of this servant."

Wang Defa slowly stood up while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

Hearing Wang Defa's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing I haven't had time to report to you."

After Wang Defa stood up, he suddenly remembered something and said cautiously.

"What else?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he asked in confusion.

"Jinyiwei has news that His Royal Highness King Yan and His Highness the Second Emperor's Grandson have recently sent people to secretly monitor and investigate the Third Emperor's grandson..."

Wang Defa hesitated and lowered his voice.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

Wang Defa stood aside, not daring to say any unnecessary nonsense.

"That's all, let them handle their own affairs. I'm too busy with court affairs to bother with it."

"As long as it doesn't go too far, let them do whatever they want."

After Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, he waved his hands and said something, with an intriguing look on his face.

Although he said this, Wang Defa, who had served him for many years, immediately understood his intention.

Your Majesty wants to test the Third Emperor's grandson's adaptability.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Wei, slowly walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have found out the details of the maid in red beside the Third Emperor's grandson."

Jiang Wei came closer, bowed respectfully and said.

"Where did it come from?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.

"After investigation, this girl's name is Hong Yuan. Just as His Highness the Third Emperor Sun said, she has been with him for three years. She was rescued by the roadside when His Highness left the palace three years ago. She was indeed seriously injured at that time."

"After recovering from her injury, this woman stayed with His Highness. Until now, she is almost inseparable from His Highness and is very loyal."

"As for why she appeared in Kyoto and was seriously injured, as well as her life experience and origin, I'm afraid it's difficult to trace the origin. Even the name Hongyuan was chosen for her by His Highness."

Jiang Wei sorted out his thoughts and said clearly.

"Since it has been confirmed that he is loyal to Yunxi, there is no need to investigate further. Yunxi trusts her, and I am too lazy to meddle in her own business."

After Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, he waved his hand and said.

Immediately, Jiang Wei and Wang Defa resigned respectively and slowly exited the hall.

However, they all knew in their hearts that His Majesty's kindness to Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the Third Emperor, exceeded that of any other prince or grandson in the palace.

Soon, Wang Defa conveyed Zhu Yuanzhang's order to the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion to quell the rumors, and quickly reached Xu Huizu, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.

...

under night.

Xiao Huan, the commander of the pro-military guards, hurried to the Duke of Wei's mansion in a carriage.

He had already returned to his residence. Hearing that Duke Wei wanted to see him, he hurried over to pay his respects.

In the main hall, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was sitting alone on a chair, drinking tea silently with his head down.

"Meet the governor."

As soon as Xiao Huan stepped into the hall door, he bowed and said respectfully.

Xiao Huan never dared to neglect his superior, not only because Xu Huizu was extremely strict in governing the army, but also because Xu Huizu had the highest prestige among all the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

After all, Xu Huizu's late father was once one of the elders in the court and held a pivotal position. Otherwise, Xu Huizu would not have won the trust of His Majesty at only 26 years old and secured the important position of Governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion.

"Commander Xiao, there is no need to be polite. Now your status is different from the past. After your daughter is engaged to the grandson of the Third Emperor, you are also considered a relative of the emperor. You do not need to pay such a courtesy in the future."

Xu Huizu looked up at Xiao Huan and said with a smile, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"How dare you take such a humble position? Thanks to His Majesty's grace, I am lucky enough to be the grandson of the Third Emperor. This is the blessing that the Xiao family has cultivated over several generations."

Xiao Huan smiled and said hurriedly and modestly.

"sit."

Xu Huizu smiled, pointed to a chair next to him, and said slowly.

Xiao Huan agreed and sat down carefully, but he only dared to stand aside because he didn't know Xu Huizu's purpose of calling him so late.

"But I heard that when you were in Tianpingfang, you once threatened to kill the grandson of the Third Emperor, and even took action? Is this true?"

Xu Huizu looked at Xiao Huan pretending not to know, and asked with interest.

"It's all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

"The grandson of the Three Emperors has the most noble status, and now he is highly valued by His Majesty. How dare he make mistakes in his humble position."

Xiao Huan shook his head and explained hurriedly.

"That's right. Now that you are the father-in-law of the third emperor's grandson, how can you feel jealous? This governor is just joking."

"Drink tea."

Xu Huizu said with a smile, raised his hand to signal, and said slowly.

Xiao Huan quickly agreed, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

The tea was still hot, and it seemed that Xu Huizu had already figured out when he would come.

"I wonder why the governor summoned his subordinates to come here tonight?"

Xiao Huan hesitated and asked tentatively.

"Oh, that's it. A decree has just been conveyed in the palace. Your Majesty has ordered this governor to be responsible for quelling the rumors that have spread in Kyoto recently about the failure of the third emperor's grandson to be promoted."

"That's why I want to ask you whether your daughter was killed by the grandson of the Third Emperor last time..."

"I wonder if the rumors are true, or is someone deliberately spreading them?"

Xu Huizu looked at Xiao Huan seriously and asked with a smile.

Although Xu Huizu only said half of the most important sentence, it directly made Xiao Huan's face turn red.

They all say that family scandals should not be made public, but in this matter, the Xiao family has lost all face.

Fortunately, the incident was overshadowed by rumors that the emperor's grandson would not be promoted, and it could be considered that he helped the Xiao family by mistake.

"Beizi just said that it was all a misunderstanding at the time. The Third Emperor's grandson had nothing to do with his daughter, so Beizhi doesn't know whether the rumors are true or not."

Xiao Huan blushed, thought for a moment, and said seriously.

He always had the illusion that Xu Huizu's words just now seemed to be deliberately making fun of him...
