"Yunwen has met Duke Xin."

"Yunxi has met Duke Xin."

Seeing Tang He, Zhu Yunxi followed Zhu Yunwen to the front and bowed respectfully.

Although both of them were grandsons of the emperor, Tang He, the Duke of Xin, was after all a senior figure in the court. He was deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and had high prestige among civil and military officials. Therefore, they must be respectful when meeting Tang He.

Tang He returned the gift slightly, his face modest.

At this time, Tang He was nearly 68 years old. He was no longer as heroic as he once was. In addition, he had developed aphasia due to an illness in the past two years. He had been unable to speak for a long time and had been seeking medical treatment everywhere but could not find a cure.

After that, Tang He resigned and returned to his hometown in Fengyang. For this canonization ceremony, he specially returned to Kyoto for the purpose.

"Is there anything else you can do, Mr. Xin Guo?"

"Are you waiting for someone?"

Zhu Yunwen looked around and asked softly in confusion.

Tang He shook his head, hesitated, and turned to leave. However, when he turned around, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi meaningfully, as if he had something to say.

"Xinguo Gong, please go slowly. Yunxi will definitely come to visit you in person one day."

Zhu Yunxi bowed, looked at the direction Tang He left and said loudly.

Tang He didn't stop or express anything. He walked down the steps and left. However, a look of helplessness flashed across his face, and then he shook his head and sighed.

Although he couldn't speak, his heart was like a mirror. After what happened just now, he had already guessed that the sky in Kyoto seemed to be about to change.

He couldn't help but start to worry about Zhu Yunxi, because Zhu Yunxi had successively offended the King of Qin and the King of Yan, and might even have a rift with Zhu Yunwen. I am afraid that misfortune will come soon.

"Second brother, I ruined your good deeds, you won't blame me, right?"

On the other side, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunzhen apologetically and said reproachfully.

"I know you are sincere for me, how can I blame you?"

"Besides, this is Grandpa Huang's decision, not your fault. Moreover, this position of grandson should belong to you. If my mother had not been appointed as the new crown princess, I would not have become the eldest grandson. .”

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said with a smile.

But even though he said this, there was still a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

In front of the imperial power, no one can remain unmoved. After all, he was only one step away from becoming the crown prince.

"Since you are not angry with me, then I am relieved."

"But don't worry, second brother, the emperor's greatest love is you. After the rebellion against the party is resolved, you will still be the emperor's grandson."

"How can I compare to you as a useless playboy? Besides, I have never thought about the position of grandson."

Zhu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You have been kneeling for so long and are tired. Go back to the palace as soon as possible."

Zhu Yunwen nodded with a forced smile and began to say goodbye.

Then the two of them left and returned to their palaces.

...

Wandering Palace.

After a long time, Zhu Yunxi finally returned to his palace. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but stretched, put away his innocent and honest look, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth. .

He had been waiting for three years for this opportunity. He had planned every step for a long time. If anything went wrong, he would be dead!

Only by returning here can he completely let go of all his defenses and pretense.

Since Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yunxi has been forced to live in this palace called Liang. The name sounds good, even somewhat elegant.

But those who know the inside story understand that the name Liang corresponds to the ominous bird owl. It is often called Liang in ancient books, which means a symbol of bad luck and death.

Such a palace is indeed worthy of his reputation as the source of evil.

"Hongyuan has met His Highness!"

At this time, a gentle and graceful maid dressed in red came out quickly and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunxi.

She is Zhu Yunxi's personal maid. She has been with him for three years and is almost inseparable on weekdays.

"How are the preparations?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and asked lightly.

"Reporting to Your Highness, everything has been prepared and is in the back garden."

Hong Yuan replied respectfully.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Hongyuan with satisfaction and walked straight to the backyard.

Red Kite followed closely behind.

"You don't want to ask me if I'm done?"

Zhu Yunxi asked casually while walking in front.

"If Your Highness takes action, nothing will be impossible."

Hong Yuan replied without hesitation, her words filled with trust and admiration for Zhu Yunxi.

Hearing Hong Yuan's answer, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but smile.

Soon, the two of them passed through the backyard, entered the side hall, and came to a secret room.

In the secret room, several blindfolded people were kneeling on the ground, tied up. Ten maids in purple stood around them, guarding the people kneeling on the ground. All of them were as beautiful as gods.

"Your Highness!"

Hearing the footsteps, the ten maids turned around and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly, said nothing nonsense, and raised his hand to signal.

The maids nodded respectfully, turned around and took off the black cloth covering their mouths and eyes one by one from those kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, what do you mean?!"

When the people kneeling on the ground saw Zhu Yunxi, they immediately asked all kinds of questions with panic on their faces.

These people are all officials in the dynasty, including those from the Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishments, and even a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu!

And they all have the same identity at this time, that is, Zhu Yunxi's chess pieces!

After the Lan Yu case happened, he tried his best to bribe some people. While Zhu Yuanzhang was hunting down the remaining Lan Yu party members, he also used the evidence of conspiracy to eliminate many ministers in the DPRK and China who would definitely become a stumbling block for him in the future. ! The one with the highest official position ranks in the second rank!

And it was the pawns in front of him who helped him complete this plan. The method of framing others and framing them has been commonplace in courts throughout the ages.

In addition, in order to smooth the way for Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang would always rather kill by mistake than let go!

And those people who were implicated in his design and died were all people placed in the court by the kings, including the people of Yan King Zhu Di!

If he doesn't eradicate them, he won't be able to get ahead!

And the first person he operated on was already in prison!

In the past year, he has used various methods to create signs of close contact between Liu Sanwu and Qin King Zhu Ping, just to officially appear in everyone's sight in the court today!

He wanted to take back all the glory and status that "Zhu Yunxi" had lost!

"Your mission is completed, now it's time to hit the road."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the people on the ground and said calmly, without any hesitation or sympathy on his face.

If you want to change your life against the odds, the first step is to be more ruthless than anyone else!

"Your Highness! We have followed your orders and completed everything you told us, why are you still treating us like this?!"

"You are trying to burn bridges!"

As soon as everyone heard the word "go on the road", they immediately understood Zhu Yunxi's intention and couldn't help but argue.

"I will always remember what you have done for me, but there is no airtight wall in the world. This matter must not be leaked!"

"Only the dead can keep secrets forever! If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely build a temple and a monument for you! Sing your praises!"

Zhu Yunxi glanced across everyone's face and spoke word by word.

"mean!"

"Your Highness! You can't do this?!"

"If you kill us, who else will be willing to serve you in the future?!"

When several people heard this, their faces instantly turned pale and they rushed to speak.

But Zhu Yunxi no longer wanted to talk nonsense, so he directly raised his hand and waved.

"Go!"

Hong Yuan, who was standing next to Zhu Yunxi, glanced at the maids and said softly.

Following the order, several maids took out a dagger from their sleeves almost simultaneously and stabbed it directly into the throat of the man in front of them!

The seemingly frail maidservant kills people without changing her expression! No hesitation!

As several people fell into a pool of blood, the secret room finally became quiet.

However, there was still one person who had not been killed, and was glaring at Zhu Yunxi with red eyes.

Jin Yiwei thousands of households, Shen Jun!

"You can't kill me!"

Shen Jun looked at Zhu Yunxi, gritted his teeth, and said harshly.

"reason."

Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips and said lightly.

"My people know that I am doing something for you. If I die, they will find this place soon. By then, what you have done will be exposed!"

"Do you think His Majesty will spare you?!"

Jun Shen's eyes widened and he said fiercely.

"Do you dare to threaten me?"

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

"If you let me go, I can pretend that nothing happened today, and I will pretend that I didn't see what happened just now!"

Jun Shen turned his head and glanced at the corpses on the ground, and said with great confidence.

"Bring it in!"

As soon as Shen Jun finished speaking, Hong Yuan, who was standing next to Zhu Yunxi, suddenly spoke.

Immediately afterwards, several more purple-clothed maids walked in quickly, each holding a person in their hands, all dressed in Jin Yiwei uniforms!

"Are they the ones you're talking about?"

Zhu Yunxi looked coldly at Shen Jun, who suddenly looked stiff, and asked with interest.

Seeing this scene, Shen Jun was completely ashen...
