"Any last words?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the ashen-faced Shen Jun and asked again, the disdain at the corner of his mouth becoming more and more obvious.

"I am Jin Yiwei Qianhu! If I die! Jin Yiwei will never give up! His Majesty will be alarmed by then!"

"Have you thought about the consequences?!"

Shen Jun stared at his red eyes and said loudly, trying his best to make Zhu Yunxi realize the consequences of killing a thousand members of Jin Yiwei.

"I already thought about it three years ago! Don't say you are just a thousand households, even if it is the commander Jiang Wei, as long as he dares to block my way, I will kill him!"

"I saved your life three years ago, now it's time to give it back to me!"

Zhu Yunxi said coldly, without hesitation, he raised his hand and waved.

"Zhu Yunxi! You must not..."

Before she finished speaking, a maid in green pierced Jun Shen's throat with the dagger in her hand, without any hesitation!

"Uh..."

Shen Jun let out a slight roar from his throat and fell straight face down.

All seven abandoned sons were silenced!

A moment later, in the garden behind the Liangli Palace, Zhu Yunxi leaned on a rockery and watched the seven corpses being gradually buried in the deep pit that had been dug long ago.

When all the deep pits were filled with soil, and new saplings and flowers were transplanted, everything returned to the same state as before, as if nothing had happened, leaving no trace.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Hong Yuan slowly came to Zhu Yunxi and asked respectfully.

"Inform our people that the Jin Yiwei should start arresting the rebels soon. Let everyone be prepared and reassure them that if they die in battle, I will ensure their families' eternal peace as agreed."

Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"Yes!"

"What about you? Blocking the canonization ceremony will definitely arouse some people's suspicions."

Hong Yuan agreed respectfully and asked slightly worriedly.

"As for me, of course I will continue to play the role of a dandy grandson who has no knowledge and only knows how to drink and have fun!"

"Let's go to Tianxiang Tower!"

As Zhu Yunxi spoke, he turned around and walked to the front yard.

"Yes!"

Hong Yuan agreed and quickly followed with ten maids in purple clothes.

"Flying Fox stays!"

But at this moment, Zhu Yunxi said something in a deep voice.

"Your Highness?!"

Hearing the words, the ten maids in purple looked confused, and couldn't help but stop, all showing confusion.

In the past, when Zhu Yunxi left the palace, besides Hong Yuan, he would bring ten maids in purple clothes with him.

"From today on, you are just ordinary maids."

Zhu Yunxi said as he left without looking back.

The flying foxes were the maids in purple clothes, who were both personal maids and bodyguards. He spent three years secretly selecting them from among the people, and then they were all dressed up as dancing girls and brought into the palace by him.

Red Kite is their leader.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are just a group of servants in the wandering palace who only want to please Zhu Yunxi and are good at dancing, shadowing and boudoir skills.

Since moving into the Wandering Palace, "Zhu Yunxi" has been effectively relegated to the cold palace, with only one maid named Zi Ning to take care of food, clothing and daily life.

After he traveled through time and was reborn three years ago, he has been living with the maid named Zi Ning, gradually gaining his trust.

However, since two years ago, the backyard has become a forbidden area. Without his permission, not even Zi Ning dared to enter without his permission.

There was something important to do today, so Zi Ning had been knocked unconscious by Hong Yuan with drugs and was still sleeping in the room.

There are some things that Zhu Yunxi doesn't want Zi Ning to know yet.

The reason why he was able to bring Feihu and the others into the palace was because he bribed the Yulinwei who guarded the palace gate and the palm eunuchs of the inner palace supervisor. In the eyes of outsiders, these women were all dancers in the brothel.

After three years of planning, he spent too much effort to get everything ready. One foot had already entered the gate of hell, and he kept testing back and forth.

Hard work paid off, and this destiny-changing game finally kicked off in the main hall today!

But he knew that the moment he stood up in the hall, he had officially entered into a battle for the throne that would be doomed if he failed!

...

Splendid Palace.

"Your Highness."

As Zhu Yunwen returned to the palace, the maids and eunuchs who were packing various books, clothes, etc. in the courtyard hurriedly saluted and smiled happily.

Because they all know that after today, their highness will be the crown prince and will surely ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor one day.

But Zhu Yunwen had a sullen face, looking at the neatly packed things in the yard, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.

The Splendid Palace is his mother's palace, not his. Originally, after being enthroned in the main palace today, he would be eligible to re-enter the East Palace.

Since his father died of illness, he and his mother and concubine had been ordered to live in the Jinxiu Palace.

But after an episode, everything changed its original trajectory and everything came to nothing.

"Stop being busy and move everything back as it is!"

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said in a deep voice.

"what?"

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the maids and eunuchs present were all stunned for a moment, not knowing what happened.

"Didn't you hear what His Highness said?!"

"Why don't you hurry up and move everything back intact!"

The speaker was Huang Zicheng, the minister of Taichang Temple who came back with Zhu Yunwen. He was a third-rank official and was Zhu Yunwen's confidant.

Hearing Huang Zicheng's scolding, the palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly agreed and moved back everything they had finally sorted out.

They haven't heard about what happened in the court just now.

In addition to Huang Zicheng, there was another person who came back with Zhu Yunwen. At this time, his brows were slightly furrowed and his face was solemn. That was Cao Guogong, Li Jinglong, who inherited his father's title.

He is not only Zhu Yunwen's confidant, but also Zhu Yunwen's playmate since he was a child. Because he is deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, he has been entrusted with the important task of commanding the Xiaoqi Guards in the past two years. He is affiliated with the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion, together with the Jinwu Guards who are affiliated with the Central Army Governor's Mansion. Responsible for the guard and inspection of Kyoto, and is an official of the second rank.

Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath, calmed down his frustrated mood, and walked straight to the backyard.

"Your Highness, Wei Chen feels that what His Highness the Third Emperor Sun did today is really unexpected and may have a deeper meaning."

Huang Zicheng followed, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but give a tactful reminder.

"What are you trying to say?!"

Zhu Yunwen asked in a deep voice while walking forward.

"Wei Chen feels that he may not be doing this for the sake of His Highness' safety as he said, but may have selfish motives."

"After all, no one can take the position of Crown Prince..."

"shut up!"

Before Huang Zicheng finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen suddenly spoke, interrupted sharply, and then turned around and looked at Huang Zicheng dissatisfied, his face full of displeasure.

"I know him! He will never do anything detrimental to me for selfish reasons!"

"Stop saying such words to sow discord!"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng coldly and said in a deep voice, obviously angry.

He has had a very good relationship with his younger brother who is only one year younger than him since he was a child. Even though this younger brother has always been looked down upon by others and even criticized behind his back, and he himself is uneducated and only knows how to have fun, he is still a half-brother. , he has been taken care of and cared for since childhood.

When I heard Huang Zicheng say that, I was naturally dissatisfied.

"Yes!"

"The humble minister made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"But I am brave enough to remind His Highness that this matter is related to the position of the Crown Prince after all. Your Highness might as well calm down and think about it carefully. Is what His Highness the Third Emperor Sun did today a little too surprising?"

"It looks like he has suddenly changed into a different person. Based on his usual behavior, how could he say what he said in the court today?"

"Don't you think he suddenly seems strange?"

Huang Zicheng bowed and agreed, but still insisted on saying the unfinished words.

"I think so."

As soon as Huang Zicheng finished speaking, Li Jinglong on the side also spoke and echoed.

"Even you think so?"

Zhu Yunwen frowned and looked at Li Jinglong in confusion.

As playmates since childhood, he, Li Jinglong, and Zhu Yunxi were considered the three best friends, and since Li Jinglong was the oldest, he and Zhu Yunxi still called Li Jinglong the ninth brother in private as they did when they were children.

Because Li Jinglong's small Chinese character is Jiujiang, he chose the Chinese character Jiujiang. When he was playing, he got the nickname "Jiujiang", and he still calls it "Jiujiang" to this day.

Speaking of which, the three of them can be regarded as clan brothers, because Li Jinglong's late father Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. He was always regarded by Zhu Yuanzhang as his own, and his status was equal to that of the other disciples.

But in comparison, Li Jinglong had been better friends with Zhu Yunwen since childhood. After all, no one wanted to get too close to an emperor's grandson who was despised by everyone, even if he was a clan relative.

"It's really abnormal."

Li Jinglong nodded seriously and said affirmatively.

After hearing Li Jinglong's clear answer, Zhu Yunwen frowned again and fell into deep thought, with a look of struggle on his face...
