Father can be an enemy to the country

Zhu Yuanzhang treated his grandnephew like this, let alone his biological son. Feudal emperors had such double standards. Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who loved his people like his son, could not treat his true son and his "like son" equally. As long as the son doesn't rebel and doesn't cuckold him, it's impossible to really destroy the family just out of justice.

Not to mention the ancients, even the people of later generations can understand this, which is why the dragon sons and grandsons are so unscrupulous. Lao Ba is not a child anymore. How come he didn’t even know what the messenger was doing, so he was so scared that he immediately set himself on fire. ?

This is unreasonable. Therefore, future generations will have various speculations, saying that there must be something inside. King Tan must have committed a serious crime that was tabooed by Lao Zhu. He was expected to end up like his cousin Zhu Shouqian, stripped of his royal title and imprisoned until death, even if he returned to the capital and was not destined to die. That's why I decided to kill myself to avoid suffering.

The speculation itself is reasonable, but there are different opinions on what crime Lao Ba committed, and none of them are credible.

Zhu Zhen had not studied the forbidden secrets of the palace in detail, but he was deeply impressed by Lao Ba's suicidal character.

Although it is said that it is better to die than to live, for some people, living is more uncomfortable than death. Especially for characters who live in the clouds, after falling into the clouds, they may indeed choose to end their lives before falling into the mud.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but think bad things after Lao Ba went in and still didn't come out. Later, when I heard a thump, I suddenly thought, had he hanged himself?

Friends who often hang themselves know that it only takes a few minutes from the moment they go up to the past.

Fortunately, Lao Liu rushed in as soon as possible, otherwise Lao Ba's life would basically have been given.

~~

While the two were talking, the imperial physician of Prince Tan's Mansion directed the chamberlain to carry Lao Ba out of the secret theater room and carefully placed him on the bed outside.

Then the imperial doctor came out of the hall and reported: "Thanks to the timely rescue of the Sixth Prince, the Eighth Prince's life is not in danger, but..."

"But what?" the prince asked in a deep voice.

"However, this kind of suffocation by hanging will damage the brain and spinal cord over a long period of time, so I can't say when the Eighth Prince will wake up, and whether he will be... intact as before." The imperial physician said carefully.

"How is that possible?" Zhu Zhen said in disbelief: "He has only been hanging for a few minutes? It's not like he has brain damage, right?"

"..." The imperial doctor glanced at Zhu Zhen and said to himself that the Sixth Prince really knew what he was doing. No wonder His Royal Highness the King of Zhou once half-joked that his medical skills were taught by his sixth brother.

So he changed his words and said: "Maybe the minister is not good at studying. The prince should hurry up and ask our court chief to take charge. This way, we will be more sure."

The prince's pupils shrank when he heard this. How could the doctor's little thoughts be hidden from him? This makes it clear that I feel bad and want to take the blame.

"I'll do as you say." He said solemnly: "Hurry over and look at Lao Ba. Don't be afraid of taking risks, and boldly do your best to treat him!"

"Yes, Prince, don't worry." The doctor responded and quickly went in again.

"How could this happen? I saved him in time..." Zhu Zhen still couldn't believe it, covering his head with his hands and mumbling. Although people who hang themselves die quickly, they are not that quick. Otherwise, all those who hang themselves will be gone to the West.

"Lao Liu, don't be like this, Lao Ba will be fine for sure." The prince wanted to comfort Zhu Zhen, but his own eyes turned red first, and he was choked and speechless.

~~

If such a big thing happened, we couldn't hide it from the palace. Zhu Biao immediately asked Eunuch Wu to go back and report the matter to his father, the emperor and his mother.

He and Lao Liu continued to wait for Lao Ba to wake up.

As a result, before Lao Ba woke up, Concubine Da Ding came first.

Although she is already a MILF, she pays more attention to her appearance than when she was young. She only goes out to meet people when she thinks she is flawless from head to toe.

But at this moment, her eyes were red, her face was ashen, and she came here without combing her hair or putting on makeup.

As soon as she entered Jin'antang, Concubine Da Ding went straight in without even looking at the prince.

After a while, her heartbreaking cries came from inside. Apparently he also listened to the imperial doctor's warning.

Zhu Zhen was a little apologetic to her at first, feeling that he did something stupid because he failed to watch out for Lao Ba.

But who would have expected that Concubine Da Ding actually came out of it in a fierce manner and rushed over to him.

"You pay for my son's life!" She gritted her teeth, her face was ferocious, and the hatred in her voice was straight out of the sky.

"Concubine Ding, I brought Lao Liu here. If anything happens, come to me. It has nothing to do with Lao Liu!" The prince hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Besides, Lao Ba would have died if Lao Liu had not rescued him in time. !”

"If he doesn't scare Lao Ba, will my son hang himself?!" Concubine Da Ding didn't dare to offend the prince even if she was so angry that she just held on to Lao Liu, wanting to settle old and new grudges with him.

Seeing Concubine Da Ding rushing towards him with her teeth and claws open, Zhu Zhen was immediately in trouble. If this had happened ten years ago, when I was in my teens, I would have just rolled up my sleeves and got on without saying anything. As a child, there is no shame in fighting with an old woman.

But he is already at this age now, and this old woman is his father's concubine and also his elder, so why should he fight with her?

In fact, a beating is just a beating. He is not a person who is afraid of getting into trouble. He just has to deal with the consequences. But the question is, didn’t Lao Ba just hang himself? Are you going to beat his mother down again? Isn't this a bit sad?

But escape is absolutely impossible, it would be too embarrassing. But if he stood still and hit him hard, although this old woman couldn't hurt him, her long and sharp nails would definitely scratch his face...

His bodyguards and servants were all outside, and there was no time to save him.

Zhu Zhen had no choice but to raise his hands first, preparing to protect his handsome face, and then see if he could seize the opportunity and "accidentally" give her an elbow.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person suddenly slipped under his arm. With a bang, he bumped into Concubine Da Ding and directly pushed her onto her butt...

"Where did this little beast come from?!" Concubine Da Ding was knocked dizzy and didn't see clearly who hit her, so she subconsciously thought it was a little eunuch. She was so angry that she yelled: "I want to chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs..."

Before he finished speaking, his voice became smaller and smaller. Because she had already seen clearly that the person who knocked her down was none other than Zhu Xiongying...

"Stay away from my sixth uncle!" He saw the emperor's eldest grandson rubbing his forehead with one hand and blocking Zhu Zhen with the other. "My sixth uncle, a good man, doesn't fight with women, so he's not afraid of you!"

Zhu Zhen was very relieved and gave his eldest nephew a thumbs up.

"Xiongying, don't be ridiculous!" The prince didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly scolded his son. But he secretly said in his heart, not to mention, this kid was really the most suitable for the situation just now.

That's the twelve-year-old emperor's eldest grandson...

And now that the hero has arrived, will the queen be far behind?
