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

"Will he really?"

Zhu Yunwen frowned and muttered to himself after hesitating for a long time.

To be honest, even if Huang Zicheng and Li Jinglong didn't mention it, he had already become suspicious in his heart. It wasn't that he believed that this third brother would do something unfavorable to him, but that today this third brother did act like a different person. .

"No one can say for sure about this kind of thing, not to mention that starting from three years ago, didn't you find that he was deliberately keeping a distance from you?"

Li Jinglong said thoughtfully.

"Even if this is true, I would rather believe that he was bewitched and became someone else's pawn. Who could this person be? I believe you two have already guessed his identity."

"Go and check to see if he was indeed instructed or coerced by others. Keep it secret and don't let him find out. Don't destroy the brotherhood between me and him."

"In short, I will never believe that he will be my enemy."

After Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment, he said in a deep voice.

In his mind, he already had a doubtful candidate.

At the same time, when they heard what Zhu Yunwen said just now, the same name appeared in the minds of Huang Zicheng and Li Jinglong at the same time.

This person is none other than Zhu Di, the most powerful king among the kings of Yan!

But Zhu Di is not the only one who covets the position of crown prince?

"Yes!"

Li Jinglong nodded and agreed respectfully.

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and Crown Princess Lu, who heard that Zhu Yunwen had returned to Jinxiu Palace, hurried over, followed by a group of attendants who were also in a hurry.

"Something went wrong?!"

"Is it really Zhu Yunxi?"

Seeing Zhu Yunwen's face, Princess Lu immediately understood something. Her face instantly darkened and she asked dissatisfiedly. However, she stopped midway through her words and glanced warily at Huang Zicheng, who was standing behind Zhu Yunwen. and Li Jinglong.

"Go down."

Zhu Yunwen glanced sideways at Huang and Li, waved his hand and said.

He knew that what the mother-in-law said next might not sound so nice.

"You all stand down too!"

Crown Princess Lu turned her head and glanced at the group of attendants behind her, and also ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Everyone agreed in unison and hurriedly turned around and left, leaving Zhu Yunzhen's mother and son where they were.

"I've heard it all. Is it really that good-for-nothing Zhu Yunxi who did it?!"

Crown Princess Lu looked at Zhu Yunwen and asked in a deep voice, with an expression of gritted teeth.

She had already heard some things about the court, and knew that her son's position as crown prince had failed.

"Mother, can you please stop speaking so harshly every time? After all, he is his father's biological son."

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said helplessly.

"He has ruined your position as Crown Prince, and now you are blaming me?!"

"I have told you to stay away from that trash a long time ago, but you just didn't listen! It's okay now. Did he mess up the canonization ceremony?!"

"Do you know how many people secretly or openly do not want you to be the crown prince?!"

"That evil! Let's see how I deal with him!"

Crown Princess Lu gritted her teeth and rushed directly to Liuli Palace as she spoke.

"Mother! It's ready!"

"This matter has not yet been concluded. I have ordered Brother Jinglong to investigate! The results will be available soon."

"You are going to the Liang Palace to cause trouble at this time. What if Grandpa Huang finds out and offends the emperor's authority?"

"After today, it is impossible for Yunxi to remain the unfavored grandson of the emperor. What if he tells Grandpa Huang about the difficulties you have made for him over the years? How will you end it?"

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly stepped forward and opened his arms to stop Crown Princess Lu, and said sincerely.

After hearing Zhu Yunwen's reminder, Crown Princess Lu swallowed her saliva, clearly showing a trace of nervousness.

"What did I do? Everyone in Kyoto knows that he is the source of evil, and everyone avoids him. If I hadn't given him a bite of food when he was a child, he would have starved to death!"

"He has had evil intentions since he was a child, and you still believe him now?!"

Crown Princess Lu looked at Zhu Yunwen dissatisfied, grumbling while hiding her nervousness.

"Well, I have made my own decision on this matter, so I won't worry about it anymore."

Zhu Yunwen sighed helplessly, and after speaking, he bowed his hands and bowed, then turned and walked directly to his dormitory.

Over the years, Zhu Yunwen has seen all the difficulties and neglect Lu has made towards Zhu Yunxi, so he has felt guilty for Zhu Yunxi since childhood, so much so that he tried every means to be kind to Zhu Yunxi, even if it was a piece of cake, he would break it in half. , give half to Zhu Yunxi.

"I..."

Looking at her son's depressed back, Crown Princess Lu moved her lips and was speechless.

...

Minghe Hall.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang began to pace non-stop, thinking about everything that happened in the court today, his brows were always furrowed, sometimes nodding frequently, and sometimes his face was full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You've been pacing for almost half an hour. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."

Wang Defa, the chief eunuch who had been standing by, slowly poured a cup of tea, handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with concern.

"Wang Defa, how long has it been since I saw Yunxi?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the tea cup and took a sip. He asked thoughtfully and finally slowly sat on the dragon couch.

"Reporting to your Majesty, counting the days, it has been about three years."

"The last time we met, it seems that it was the anniversary of the Queen's death. At that time, all the princes and grandsons went with you to pay homage to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum."

Wang Defa thought for a moment and said slowly.

"It's only been three years since we last met, and I almost don't remember him."

"What kind of person is he in daily life? I have long heard that he has no knowledge and skills since he was a child, and he only knows how to live and drink, but why does he not look like this in the hall today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked thoughtfully while recalling the few memories of this emperor's grandson in his mind.

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Wang Defa looked embarrassed and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Are you mute?!"

"I'm asking you, what do you know? Tell the truth."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Wang Defa, who was silent and hesitant, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, His Royal Highness the Third Emperor's daily words and deeds are consistent with the rumors. He is indeed a bit...not doing his job properly. He hangs around in the brothel almost all day long. If not for this, his reputation will not get worse. , so that everyone is afraid to avoid it.”

Wang Defa hesitated and told everything he heard and saw.

After hearing Wang Defa's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately darkened, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he was not angry.

"This slave is speaking without restraint. He should not make unreasonable comments about His Highness the Third Emperor. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Wang Defa took a sneak peek and thought he had said something wrong. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground, slapped his mouth hard twice, and begged.

"I didn't do anything to you! Get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses, waved his hands impatiently, and sighed helplessly.

Originally, after seeing what the emperor's grandson did today in the main hall, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, feeling that he almost missed a grandson who could be of great use, but now he heard what Wang Defa said about the emperor's grandson. The rumors were all true, which inevitably gave rise to a hint of disappointment again.

"But you also saw him in Fengtian Hall today. Do you think he is an unlearned and unskilled waste?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Wang Defa with a puzzled expression and continued to ask.

"This..."

"What the Third Emperor's grandson did today is indeed different from the rumors. He is neither humble nor arrogant, calm and capable. But why is this happening? This old slave is also a little confused."

Wang Defa thought about it for a moment and said with a grimace.

"That's all, it's useless to ask you. Recently, you help me keep an eye on Dian Liuli Palace to see what he does on weekdays."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said helplessly.

"The slave obeys the order!"

Wang Defa agreed respectfully, bowed, and hurriedly left. As soon as he turned around, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Today, it is the first time in more than ten years that His Majesty cares about the grandson of the Third Emperor. After serving for so many years, he can naturally see something from it. He was afraid that he would be punished if he said anything too harshly.

...

At the same time, Zhu Di, who returned to Prince Yan's palace, also had doubts from what happened in the court, which forced him to re-examine his once-unnoticed nephew...
