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

Splendid Palace.

Under the night, the bright moon is in the sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the flowers, grass, mountains and trees, forming a unique scenery.

Zhu Yunwen was walking alone in the back garden, but he was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at this time. Instead, he frowned and his face was full of melancholy.

Almost everything that happened these days was beyond his expectation, as if everything was out of control.

The root cause of all this is the sudden rise of the younger brother whom he has protected since childhood.

He had imagined that many people would become obstacles and opponents on his way to becoming a prince, but this younger brother was the one he least expected.

He even began to feel strange about this younger brother, because he knew very well what kind of person this younger brother was. However, as all of this happened one after another, he realized that he had actually been wrong from the beginning.

What kind of tenacity can a person tolerate for more than ten years and be willing to turn himself into a good-for-nothing that is despised and disgusted by everyone? !

He couldn't figure it out, and the more he thought about it, the more he became afraid.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and Li Jinglong came quickly from far to near.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Yunwen glanced sideways, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, and he ignored it.

"Your Highness."

After Li Jinglong came closer, he raised his hands and bowed.

He had already noticed Zhu Yunwen's indifference towards him, and a trace of struggle flashed between his brows.

Zhu Yunwen did not respond, nor did he turn around. He put his hands behind his back and looked listlessly at a branch broken by the wind in the garden, swaying unyieldingly in the evening breeze.

In his eyes, this branch is like his younger brother who has been sharpening his sword for ten years, and like himself who has suffered setbacks one after another.

Is it withering or rebirth?

He wasn't sure.

"Your Majesty, I have received news that Cai Yuanpei, the Minister of Punishment, has been removed from his post as Minister of Justice, and his family has been sent to the frontier..."

Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment, cupped his hands, and said respectfully, with a solemn expression.

After hearing Li Jinglong's words, Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly changed while he was deep in thought, and he immediately turned around and looked at Li Jinglong with a look of disbelief.

"How could this happen?!"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Li Jinglong and asked in shock.

"After Your Majesty dismissed all the ministers, Cai Yuanpei came late after fainting from the pain of losing his son. He denounced the three emperors' grandson in front of your majesty and avenged his son. However, he did not know that the three emperors' grandson had already given your majesty a share of his son. It is a secret file for evil people."

"After His Majesty's questioning, Cai Yuanpei was unable to defend himself. In the end, His Majesty was furious and immediately dismissed from his post. If it hadn't been for his years of assistance, it would have been more than just dispatching and confiscating the army."

Li Jinglong sighed helplessly and answered slowly.

Hearing Li Jinglong's answer, Zhu Yunwen sighed helplessly. He did not expect that a minister would fall overnight. Not only did he lose his son and lose his official position, he was also sent to the frontier with his family.

Originally, Cai Yuanpei was quite capable and was a good minister he had always wanted to have under his command, but he never expected that it would end like this.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Cai family suffered this disaster was because they raised a son who was not very useful, and he happened to offend the third child.

Regarding this, Zhu Yunwen could only shake his head helplessly and regretted it.

"In addition, His Majesty has indeed begun to doubt the intentions behind the ministers' meeting today, and has ordered the Jinyi Guards to investigate the matter thoroughly."

Li Jinglong paused and said worriedly.

After all, this matter is related to the Splendid Palace. Once something is really found out, if His Majesty blames it, it will be difficult to make it clear at that time.

"If we let Jin Yiwei investigate, then nothing will happen. Jiang Yu is a smart man and knows what to do."

"It's you, why didn't the third child immediately report it to me after he killed someone? Instead, he went to find his mother and concubine?!"

"If I had known in advance, I might have been able to stop my mother-in-law, and I wouldn't be as passive as I am now!"

Zhu Yunwen said thoughtfully, then looked at Li Jinglong with a dissatisfied look and asked in a deep voice.

"I know my fault for my humble position!"

Li Jinglong's expression suddenly changed and he knelt on the ground in a hurry, his face full of self-blame.

"You clearly know that the mother-in-law hates the third child deeply, and it is inevitable to act impulsively, why are you still doing this?!"

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said dissatisfied.

"It's all due to Beizhi's stupidity, but Beizhi did think this was an excellent opportunity at the time, but he was worried that His Highness would still be ruthless and was afraid of delaying the best opportunity, so he hid it from His Highness and told the Crown Princess."

"Now that I think about it, it's indeed Hsiao's lack of consideration. It's all Hsiao's fault. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Li Jinglong lowered his head in self-blame and said heartbrokenly.

"That's all, now that things have come to this, even if I punish you severely, what's the use?!"

"I just hope that this matter will end as soon as possible, and don't involve the entire Splendid Palace just because of this small step."

"I hope you will remember the lesson learned this time and never make your own decisions without telling me again in the future!"

Zhu Yunwen waved his hands helplessly, looked at Li Jinglong seriously, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly raised his hands and respectfully agreed.

Since the incident has developed, he has realized his mistake, but it is too late to make up for it.

In the final analysis, like many people, he is just seeking a chance for his own future, because only if Zhu Yunwen becomes the crown prince, all the efforts he has made in the past will not be in vain.

...

Xiao Mansion.

It's quiet at night.

Xiao Huan sat alone in the main hall, frowning slightly and looking solemn.

Because Zhu Yunxi was assassinated on the street that day, he had been leading the Jinwu Guards in the city to search for traces of those who rebelled against the party for the past two days.

Although he knew very well that the assassin was not a rebel at all, but in order to cooperate with Zhu Yunxi, he could only pretend to know nothing.

After a busy day, I just returned home from the Yamen. Facing the food and wine on the table, I couldn't bring myself to have any appetite for a while.

However, the reason was not because he was too exhausted, but because he had just learned not long ago that Cai Yuanpei, the Minister of Punishment, had not only been dismissed from office, but his whole family had been sent to the army.

He began to regret that he had not chosen to intervene in the murder of Cai Yuanpei's son in order to protect himself. At first, he thought that the Third Emperor's grandson might be in danger this time, but he did not expect that things would change so quickly.

If his thoughts are once seen through by the Third Emperor's grandson, then his wish for the Xiao family to rise from now on may also be shattered.

In fact, no matter whether he intervened or not, there were pros and cons in this matter, but he made the safest choice for himself and the Xiao family.

But perhaps it was precisely because of this choice that he would lose the protection of the big tree called the Third Emperor's Grandson.

"father?!"

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and Xiao Ling'er walked in from the door with a straight face.

Hearing the words, Xiao Huan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at his daughter who was walking straight towards him, coughed, retracted his thoughts, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

But at this time, after drinking the wine, I couldn't taste any mellow aroma, but it was a bit bitter.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Linger, who noticed the change in her father's expression, hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"fine!"

"It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Xiao Huan shook his head and asked in a deep voice.

"Oh, my daughter heard that you returned to the house, so she came here to ask you something."

"Are the rumors outside true?"

Xiao Ling'er paused for a moment, remembered her purpose of coming, looked straight at Xiao Huan, and asked softly.

"What rumors?"

Xiao Huan looked confused and asked.

"My daughter heard that the Third Emperor's grandson had a conflict with the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice because of a maiko in the Jiaofang Division, and he directly killed the son of the minister because of the maiko?!"

"And you brought that maiko back to the Ryugu Palace?!"

Xiao Ling'er frowned and asked seriously, a trace of dissatisfaction gradually showing on her face.

Hearing her daughter's question, Xiao Huan couldn't help but frown, took a deep breath, and didn't answer.

"Dad? My daughter is asking you something!"

Seeing that her father remained silent, Xiao Ling'er raised her voice.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about! When is it your turn to interfere when the Third Emperor's grandson is doing something?!"

Xiao Huan glared at her daughter with dissatisfaction and scolded her somewhat dissatisfiedly.

He really didn't want to say more about what happened today, because he was already filled with regret.

But seeing her father's reaction, Xiao Ling'er immediately understood that the rumors outside were indeed true.

However, she thought that the solemn look on her father's face at this moment was also because he was angry about the maiko...
