Wandering Palace.

"How are you? How is your recovery from your injury?"

After Zhu Yunwen slowly sat down, he looked Zhu Yunxi up and down and asked with concern.

"Thank you, second brother, for caring about me. It's okay now."

Zhu Yunxi answered casually, raised his left arm that was injured last time and shook it twice.

"That's good."

"There's been a lot of trouble in Kyoto recently, and my third brother has been injured several times in a row. It's better to be careful in the future to make sure nothing happens again."

Zhu Yunwen nodded with relief and warned seriously.

"it is good."

"Second brother, please have some tea."

Zhu Yunxi smiled, raised the teacup in his hand and gestured with a slightly indifferent attitude.

Zhu Yunwen's expression stiffened for a moment, then he slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

He had already noticed the change in Zhu Yunxi's attitude towards him. Not only did he no longer greet him with a smiling face, but he seemed to become more distant.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I don't know how my third brother is going to spend it. Otherwise, we should come to the Jinxiu Palace. Then the three of us will have a drink and we won't go home until we are drunk."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunxi and asked with a smile.

"There are still a few days left, let's talk about it then."

Zhu Yunxi still answered casually.

In the past three years since traveling back in time, Zhu Yunwen would take him to the Jinxiu Palace to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together with him almost every year.

"Alright."

"But now that the third brother has been favored again, Grandpa Huang will probably let you attend this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. It seems that the second brother has made it unnecessary."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head awkwardly, and gave Zhu Yunxi a meaningful look as he spoke.

"Who knows? But it doesn't matter if you can't go there. It just so happens that I can take my maid to stroll around the city, look at the lanterns, have a drink, and admire the moon."

Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly.

The conversation between the two people, which had been warm in the past, suddenly became erratic, and each could no longer catch what the other said.

This feeling made both of them a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's talk about it then. I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."

"Oh, by the way, I brought you something to replenish qi and blood. Take good care of your body and take care of yourself."

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, stood up slowly, and said with a smile, but the smile was no longer as natural as when he came.

"Thank you, second brother."

Zhu Yunxi stood up, bowed his hands, and said slowly.

Then, Li Jinglong placed a box in his hand on the table and followed Zhu Yunwen out without looking back.

Zhu Yunxi didn't send it off, he just stood there and watched Zhu Yunxi in silence as he walked away.

"It seems that he still cares about what happened at Jinxiu Palace last time, and maybe he is still angry with me."

After leaving the Liuli Palace, Zhu Yunwen walked softly and sighed helplessly.

"Perhaps this day will come sooner or later, but now it just happens to be early."

Li Jinglong followed silently and said without changing his expression.

"After today, he and I will never go back to the past."

"If that's the case, then so be it."

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly, and as he spoke, he quickened his pace, with a trace of firmness in his eyes that he had never seen before.

Wandering Palace.

The door of the main hall.

Zhu Yunxi stood on the stone steps, looking at the bright moon that was about to be full in the night sky, with an expressionless face and deep eyes.

"He has something hidden in his heart. Perhaps he has begun to doubt His Highness, or perhaps he already knows about His Majesty's request to appoint you as his grandson."

Hongyuan stood by silently and whispered something.

"Not maybe, but definitely already known."

"With his intelligence, he can't hide it, not to mention that among the few people present that day, I'm afraid not many of them want me to become their great-grandson."

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and said lightly.

"Is that why His Highness deliberately behaved indifferently because he wanted to tell him openly?"

Hong Yuan asked hesitantly.

"Since we are destined to be rivals, it would be better to make things clear as soon as possible. I would rather he hate me than continue to hide it from him until the end."

"after all..."

He has treated me well over the past three years.

Zhu Yunxi pondered and spoke slowly, but he did not say the rest of the sentence.

"He is no match for His Highness!"

Hongyuan smiled and said confidently.

If it were anyone else, after seeing the plans Zhu Yunxi had made in the past three years, he would definitely think so.

"No matter the victory or defeat, his life cannot be hurt."

Zhu Yunxi paused and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"What about the Crown Princess?"

Hong Yuan agreed respectfully, then looked up at Zhu Yunxi and asked seriously.

After hearing Hong Yuan's last question, Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything, but instantly narrowed his eyes, with a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes!

Hong Yuan smiled and said nothing more, because His Highness had already given his answer.

...

The next day.

The streets of Kyoto.

Zhu Yunxi took Hongyuan and Zi Ning in the carriage and drove slowly towards the Jiuyou Realm.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, as one of the most important festivals of the year, he always has to prepare some gifts to please Zhu Yuanzhang. An emperor's grandson who knows how to fulfill his filial piety is always more popular than an emperor's grandson who only knows how to spend time and wine. .

The streets are decorated with lights and streamers everywhere, and everyone’s face is filled with smiles. Everyone is looking forward to the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.

The whole street was bustling with people coming and going.

Zi Ning stood in front of the window and kept looking around, her face full of joy. She had never seen such a world full of fireworks.

"How about I take you to watch the lanterns together on the Mid-Autumn Festival night?"

Zhu Yunxi leaned on the carriage, looked at Zi Ning who had been looking excited since leaving the palace, and asked with a smile.

"Yeah!"

Hearing this, Zi Ning quickly came back to her senses, looked at Zhu Yunxi with excitement, nodded vigorously, and looked forward to it.

Looking at the innocent Zi Ning, Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips and showed a gentle smile, as if looking at his own sister, his eyes were full of doting.

The red kite on the side didn't say anything, but it was rare that she no longer looked as cold as ice, and she seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Night in her heart.

"By the way, Your Highness, you said you are going out of the palace to prepare Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for His Majesty and Concubine Ning. What exactly are you going to prepare?"

Zi Ning hesitated for a moment and asked with curiosity on his face.

"Secret."

"But you two will definitely be indispensable."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said with a smile.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi say that he was also involved, the smile on Zi Ning's face deepened.

"stop!"

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside, and then the carriage slowly stopped.

Outside the carriage, Deng Chuan and twenty of his men were guarding the carriage, confronting a group of people!

Someone is blocking the carriage's way!

The leader is none other than the commander of the pro-military guards, Xiao Huan!

And the officers and soldiers following him were naturally the Jinwu Guards!

Xiao Huan got off the horse and went straight to the carriage.

"It turns out to be Commander Xiao."

"I wonder what Commander Xiao intends to do by blocking the road rashly?!"

When Deng Chuan saw it was Xiao Huan, he bowed his hands casually and asked coldly, his eyes full of wariness.

"I have something to say to His Highness the Third Emperor, please let me know."

Xiao Huan smiled, glanced at the carriage behind Deng Chuan, and said slowly.

"Your Highness has something else to do, please Commander Xiao to make way!"

But Deng Chuan didn't buy it, he shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"Since you know who I am, you should naturally understand the relationship between me and His Highness the Third Emperor Sun!"

Xiao Huan encountered a problem, couldn't help but frown, and said in a deep voice, his face instantly darkened.

"So this is the reason why Commander Xiao dared to block His Highness's carriage?!"

Deng Chuan had no expression on his face and still said stiffly, without giving in.

"you..."

Xiao Huan looked startled and couldn't help but clenched his fists, as he was about to have an attack.

He had already recognized Deng Chuan as a member of the Jinyi Guards, but he didn't expect that a mere hundred households would dare to ignore him like this!

"Deng Chuan, let me go!"

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi's voice came from the carriage behind.

Hearing this, Deng Chuan stepped aside without saying any nonsense and made way for him.

Xiao Huan glanced at Deng Chuan coldly, walked quickly through the crowd, and came to the side of the carriage.

"Xiao Huan, the commander of the military guards, has met His Highness the Third Emperor Sun!"

Xiao Huan said with a smile on his face while bowing respectfully to the carriage.

As the words fell, the curtains of the carriage slowly opened from the inside, revealing Zhu Yunxi's handsome face with a slight smile...
