Father can be an enemy to the country

"We spoke to him righteously a lot at that time, saying that I was a different emperor and that I hated privileges the most. If the existence of privileges would eventually turn the Ming Dynasty into the Yuan Dynasty, then no one should have privileges! "Zhu Yuanzhang patted his thigh painfully and said:

"Finally, we swore to him that if my son commits murder or arson in the future, we will not spare him!"

As he spoke, he looked at Queen Ma with pain on his face and said, "Tell me, Lao Shi's sins are a hundred times greater than Hu Tianci's. If we spare him, wouldn't we make Hu Weiyong laugh to death underground all over again?"

"..." Queen Ma nodded and was silent for a long time. Fang slowly said: "I understand, although my mind will not change..." She took a deep breath and forced herself to say:

"But no matter what decision you make, I won't blame you."

Before she finished speaking, Queen Ma lowered her head and covered her face with tears rolling down her cheeks. Her heart was broken.

"Oh, Xiuying won't cry if she doesn't cry." Zhu Yuanzhang quickly raised his hand to wipe Empress Ma's face with his sleeve. Suddenly he thought that he had just wiped her mouth here, so he changed the sleeve on the other side and wiped her tears while comforting her. : "There is always a way, there is always a way. Your bones are not good to begin with, but you can't be so sad..."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh and was so sad that he almost shed tears: "It's really hard to be the emperor, especially if you have a few traitors, it will really make life difficult for you..."

"You are right about this matter. It was us girls who caused you trouble." Seeing this, Queen Ma quickly held his hand, touched his head, and comforted him: "I'm sorry, Chongba, let me You are in trouble..."

Empress Ma's comfort brought out all the bitterness in Zhu Yuanzhang's stomach. He beat his chest and stamped his feet and said, "Do you think we can't feel uncomfortable? No matter what he chooses, it will be more uncomfortable than killing us!"

The couple were facing each other to comfort each other, when suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door: "The Emperor and Queen are not well, Concubine Ning is gone!"

"What?!" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and the couple stood up suddenly. Empress Ma felt the world was spinning, and Zhu Yuanzhang quickly supported her.

"Are you OK?"

"If you don't care, go to Shouchang Palace quickly." Empress Ma bit her lip tightly and forced herself to walk out.

"Hurry up and bring the sedan to the entrance of the palace!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted quickly.

~~

As soon as the emperor and his wife got into the chariot, they kept urging them to leave quickly. The Jing army carrying the sedan trotted all the way, and soon they arrived at Shouchang Palace where Concubine Guo Ning lived.

As soon as the imperial chariot landed, Zhu Yuanzhang helped Queen Ma down and walked quickly inside.

Eunuch Lu, the steward of Shouchang Palace, knelt down at the palace gate to welcome him.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to take good care of Concubine Ning?" Queen Ma asked, holding her forehead.

"Back to the queen, I didn't dare to go on duty tonight. I have been leading people to carefully look after my mother-in-law." Eunuch Lu said as if he were mourning for his concubine: "It was late at night, and my mother-in-law said she wanted to go to bed. We couldn't sleep on the side, so she asked her to go outside the palace. Keep it."

"The old slave still wanted to persist, but the empress lost her temper, so she had to go outside the palace and listen to the noise. She said in her heart that she would come in and watch after the empress fell asleep." Eunuch Lu sobbed: "Who would have thought that if you just go out for a while and then come in, she I cut my wrist with an eyebrow trimming knife, and the blood spurted out, and I couldn’t hold it down..."

During Eunuch Lu's unclear narration, Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife came to Concubine Guo Ning's bed. She was a simple and elegant person, so the bedding was all light-colored, but now it was dyed a shocking dark red by her blood.

She lay quietly in a pool of blood, her face turned pale...

"When the imperial doctor arrived, the empress had already lost too much blood and passed away!" Eunuch Lu said from the side and started to cry.

Seeing this scene, Queen Ma finally couldn't hold on and fainted.

"Imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor quickly!" Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang kept supporting her and prevented her from falling.

The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to take the queen's wife, and helped her lie down outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he looked around with a dark face, found a punching bag, pointed at Eunuch Lu and said: "Drag this idiot out and chop him!"

"Ah?!" Eunuch Lu was horrified and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I have tried my best. What crime is this old slave guilty of?!"

"You still don't know where you went wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and ordered the guards who came in after hearing the order: "First chop off one of his hands and teach him how to stop the bleeding correctly! Then chop off his head!"

"Yes!" the guard responded, stepped forward and dragged Eunuch Lu out. Eunuch Lu still wanted to beg, but his jaw was removed directly, and he could not even make a sound...

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand again, and everyone in the palace exited.

The dormitory quickly became quiet, leaving him alone to look at Concubine Guo Ning.

He slowly sat on the blood-stained bed, slowly stretched out his hand, and touched Concubine Guo Ning's cold cheek. He held back the tears all night, and then he couldn't hold it back any longer. Drop by drop fell on Concubine Guo Ning's forehead.

"Why are you so stupid? Is it worth it for such a beast..."

~~

Zhu Yuanzhang just sat beside Concubine Guo Ning's bed, lost in thought. It wasn't until the fourth watch drum sounded that he suddenly came back to his senses.

Standing up slowly while holding on to the railing, he took one last look at Concubine Guo Ning and sighed: "That's all, we can't let your death be in vain..."

After saying that, he turned around slumped, lowered his high head, and his whole body was gone.

Coming out of bed, he went to see Queen Ma. In the middle of the night, the imperial doctor reported that she was in great grief and pain, and that she had fainted due to the loss of the gods. She had been treated with acupuncture and told her to sleep for a long time, and she would be much better when she woke up.

His movements were light enough, but Queen Ma still opened her eyes and looked at him steadily.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and hissed: "Relax and rest."

Queen Ma finally closed her eyes in relief.

~~

When all the officials went to court, they saw Su Zhen hanging in the palace, and they secretly guessed in their hearts which noble person was missing.

When the emperor ascended to the throne, they found that even Zhu Yuanzhang had changed into a green robe and a corner belt. They were all shocked and thought, could he be the empress?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let them guess. As soon as he came up, he whispered to Guo Ying, who was at the forefront of the military attache: "Wu Dinghou, your sister died last night..."

Guo Ying fell to her knees on the ground, her mouth wide open in astonishment: "It's so good, how could it be?!"

"She committed suicide." Zhu Yuanzhang said with deep sorrow in his voice: "Because she wanted to trade her own life for the life of that beast Lao Shi."

"Ah?!" Even though Guo Ying had experienced many battles, he couldn't accept this shocking bad news for a while, and stayed there not knowing what to say.

The ministers were also surprised and couldn't help but whisper among themselves. They had all heard about what happened in Shandong. They heard that King Lu and his wife had just been escorted back to Beijing yesterday. They didn't expect that something like this happened...
