Daming Wuhou

Little Luobotou leaned forward and looked at the cover of the book in Lu Changting's hand: "Are you reading father's book?"

"Yes." Lu Changting nodded.

"I've read this book too." Zhu Yunwen whispered, raised his finger, and recited a few sentences.

What was recited was exactly the content on the first page, and Lu Changting didn't even have to turn it over to confirm that there was no slight discrepancy with what Zhu Yunqi recited.

The book he just started to learn, but Zhu Yunqi can recite it familiarly, Lu Changting will not blush because of it.

Who is Zhu Yunqi? ——Emperor Grandson.

His education was naturally different.There is no need for Lu Changting to worry about this.

So Lu Changting smiled slightly and boasted, "Your Highness is very knowledgeable."

Zhu Yunqi shook his head seriously: "I'm not knowledgeable, I'm not knowledgeable." As he said that, he walked a little closer: "Can I ask you?"

"What do you want to ask, Your Highness?" Lu Changting asked cooperatively.After all, Zhu Yunqi at this time was not the Emperor Jianwen who wanted to kill Zhu Di in the future, and there was no confrontation between them. Naturally, Lu Changting was very happy to show cooperation with the emperor grandson.

"Are you going to enter the Qin Tianjian in the future?"

Why would Zhu Yunqi ask him this?Although Lu Changting was puzzled, he still answered truthfully: "No."

Zhu Yunwen lowered his voice, as if whispering to Lu Changting: "I heard from them that you are very powerful. You saved my father. But why don't you want to enter the Qin Tianjian? If you enter the Qin Tianjian, you can live in the Qin Tianjian." Now that you are in the imperial city, father can reward you every day." Zhu Yunwen's words showed his maturity on the one hand, but on the other hand, he also showed his childishness.

Lu Changting couldn't help laughing: "Your father has already rewarded me, I'm not greedy."

Zhu Yunwen smiled, the flesh on his face piled up, his cheeks became rounder, and he looked more childish: "You're right..." But as soon as the words fell, he said again: "...then Father should reward you again this time."

Lu Changting was puzzled: "Why?"

Zhu Yunwen said in a low voice: "There will naturally be rewards for doing things."

Zhu Yunqi spoke very vaguely, but Lu Changting vaguely understood something. ...Zhu Biao needs him for something?And even Zhu Yunqi was aware of this matter.

Lu Changting was not worried, he just had to sit down and wait quietly for Prince Zhu Biao to return, then he would naturally know what happened.

Zhu Yunqi's voice quickly brought Lu Changting back from his thoughts.

Lu Changting heard him say: "You can stay in Qin Tianjian."

Lu Changting looked up, and saw Zhu Yunqi looking forward to him.Lu Changting could not understand Zhu Yunqi's behavior.The status between them can be said to be very different, no matter how you think about it, Zhu Yunqi should not show such an expression to him.

Lu Changting smiled faintly, and said in a low voice, "I still have to take the imperial examination in the future, so I can't stay in the Qin Tianjian." His voice was very nice, and it was natural to find it easy to soothe a child's emotions.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes brightened slightly: "I see." "Can anyone who has passed the imperial examination be admitted to the court as an official? Then you can stay in Yingtian too."

Zhu Yunqi knew a lot, but he was still a bit childish.

Lu Changting couldn't help laughing: "Of course not. Only those who do well in the exam can be admitted to the court as officials. And some can stay in Yingtian as officials, while others will go to other places to become officials."

"Outside? Is it far away?"

"nature."

"Is it like Zhongdu is so far away from Yingtian?"

For a grandson of a deep palace emperor who does not go out of the gate, the hometown of the Zhu family (Fengyang) is probably the most distant place.

Lu Changting nodded.

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly: "Then how can you stay in Yingtian?"

"It will be better when you wait for the imperial examination." When Lu Changting said this, his tone was very dull, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.But it's just that he's not used to talking about it to outsiders.

Zhu Yunqi nodded, but he didn't look disappointed on his face, instead he said seriously: "Then invite more good teachers, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to do better in the exam."

Seeing his serious appearance, Lu Changting felt a little amused, and at the same time looked at Zhu Yunqi with a much gentler gaze.Although he didn't know why Zhu Yunqi was so obsessed with this, Lu Changting still said: "Borrow Your Highness's auspicious words."

It seems that Zhu Yunqi rarely gossips with people for such a long time. He opened his mouth and was about to continue talking to Lu Changting, but a court lady outside the palace whispered: "Your Highness, it's time for you to go back to the Crown Princess."

The education Zhu Yunqi received should be very strict. Although he was a little disappointed when he heard the words, he bid farewell to Lu Changting immediately, then turned around and walked outside the hall.He was talking to the maid in a low voice, and his figure gradually moved away.

Lu Changting then lowered his head to get the book again.Just bowing his head, he suddenly found that his cuffs were slightly wrinkled, which was obviously not there before.Lu Changting suddenly thought of a possibility... just now Zhu Yunwen grabbed his sleeve?When it comes to Zhu Yunqi's solemn and adult appearance just now, the image of the future Emperor Jianwen suddenly becomes alive in Lu Changting's heart, and he completely escapes from the dry and dull words in the history book.

The corners of Lu Changting's mouth curled up, he closed the book, squeezed a piece of snack and put it in his mouth.

In his previous life, Lu Changting had seen spoiled and lawless children, and in this life he had also seen children who were cowardly and timid due to hunger and cold. It is really rare to see such children as Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Yunqi.It's rare that Lu Changting has a little bit of interest in children.

Just as he was thinking about it, he vaguely heard someone outside calling His Highness.

Naturally, it is impossible for Zhu Yunqi to go back and forth, naturally...it must be Zhu Biao who came!

Lu Changting immediately stood up and greeted him.A tall and thin figure walked over with his back to the light, the red robe on his body was particularly eye-catching.The courtiers in the palace blessed each other and said, "His Royal Highness."

Lu Changting opened his mouth to call out "grass people", but then he remembered that he is now a linsheng, a serious scholar, and it would be wrong to call him "grass people".Niche?student?It's all weird too.Lu Changting turned a corner when he reached the tip of his mouth, and said, "Changting has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At this time, the Zhu family did not pay attention to so many rules.Emperors and princes, like ordinary people, often call themselves "I" instead of "Zhen" and "My Palace".

Zhu Biao stepped forward, held Lu Changting's arm with his own hands, and led him towards the seat: "Did you take the hospital exam a few days ago?"

Lu Changting didn't expect Zhu Biao to pull out such a common routine as soon as he came up, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and replied: "Yes."

After walking to the chair, Zhu Biao withdrew his hand, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit first."

Lu Changting was not pretentious, and sat obediently under Zhu Biao.

The maid immediately came forward to replace the tea and cakes.

Without the backlight, Lu Changting can fully see Zhu Biao's appearance at this time.The last time he saw Zhu Biao in Yingtian was when Zhu Biao was just recovering from a serious illness, and at that time Zhu Biao's face was always showing a little sickness.This time, Zhu Biao's complexion looked much better, but for some reason, Lu Changting always felt that the elegant man in front of him seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, which was more shocking than the sickly look last time.

Zhu Biao noticed Lu Changting's calm and scrutinizing gaze, so he lowered his eyes calmly and asked in a low voice, "Did Changting get the case?"

Lu Changting was not surprised that Zhu Biao would know this.Maybe Zhu Di mentioned it to him just now.Lu Changting nodded his head, his face was very flat, and he was not arrogant or impetuous: "It's the head of the case."

Zhu Biao smiled: "Sure enough, I have not misread it, Changting is really talented! It's just that there is nothing left to show."

No matter how simple and unpretentious it is to say such words from the mouth of the prince, it will be immediately given a special effect of golden light, and it will become a great glory.

It's a bit difficult for Lu Changting to express his emotion immediately...it's a bit difficult.Lu Changting thought for a while, but still maintained his usual posture, and said with a smile, "I dare not disappoint the high hopes of the prince." Speaking of which, Zhu Biao did have high hopes for him, and the books that were sent to him like flowing water... I almost sent a Confucian scholar away.

Sure enough, saving the lives of the Zhu family was worthwhile.

Zhu Biao paused, then suddenly said: "Changting is so smart, he must have already noticed something is wrong."

Lu Changting was taken aback by the topic of his sudden turn. If it weren't for Zhu Yunqi's weird attitude, Lu Changting might still be confused at this time.But he only knew that Zhu Biao might have something to ask of him, and no matter how much he suspected, it had nothing to do with the shadowy look on Zhu Biao's face.Lu Changting considered it in his heart, but did not answer immediately.

Anyway, what Zhu Biao should say, he will say in the end.

The people in the hall quickly retreated, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent and stagnant.

It really didn't matter whether Lu Changting opened his mouth or not.

Zhu Biao has already spoken again: "I haven't slept well lately."

There are not many things that can make a prince sleep badly, but with Zhu Biao's personality, there are many things that can make him sleep badly.Lu Changting did not interrupt in a hurry to ask the question in his heart, but quietly waited for Zhu Biao to continue talking.

"There are no shocking and strange things in the palace. But there are always two small things around me. At first I didn't care about them, but gradually they stuck in my heart. When I think about them day and night, I feel sleepy."

The more Zhu Biao emphasized that it was just two small things, the more Lu Changting couldn't help feeling that these things were extraordinary.

Zhu Biao paused again, as if caught in memories. "The earliest time was the year before last. It was winter, and Yun Wen was walking back and forth in the hall... accidentally tripped, and in front of him was a freshly lit charcoal basin. She was watching from the side... as if frightened." Stupid. The girl is weak, I just thought she was frightened and invited the imperial doctor to see her for a few days."

Lu Changting quickly grasped the key point of this passage - "she".

How many "shes" can Zhu Biao mention in the Prince's East Palace?Without the second concubine Liu, now there is only the crown princess.Other concubines and concubines are not worthy of Zhu Biao's eyes.

Zhu Biao went on to say: "Last year, Wang Meiren ordered the eunuch to whip the maid to death because she accidentally broke the cup. She just stood aside and watched... My father and I heard the commotion and walked over That's what broke the scene."

That Wang Meiren must have no good end, and the maid also died.So the focus of this passage is still the "her".

"September……"

Just last month?Lu Changting held his breath slightly and continued to listen.

"I was enjoying the flowers with the princess by the lake, and the princess accidentally fell and fell into my arms." A blush flashed across Zhu Biao's face quickly, and then he continued: "I was caught off guard, so I fell with her." Into the lake. Afterwards, both she and I became seriously ill. It also caused the palace people nearby to suffer."

The prince's life was almost lost... How furious Emperor Hongwu was, you can imagine it with your feet.

Wait... Lu Changting felt as if a series of electric currents had been passed through his whole body in an instant, and his whole body became energetic.In the first two paragraphs, Zhu Biao's language is unclear, and they are all replaced by "she", but in the last paragraph... I don't know if Zhu Biao missed it, or he finally couldn't help revealing his identity... to replace "she". It's the three words that are so clear--Prince Princess.

Lu Changting's mind quickly flashed the appearance of the Crown Princess.Demure, beautiful, dignified, gentle.Only when the prince was lying on the sick bed, did she tear away the tenderness from her body, and showed her sharp edge to anyone who had any intention of murdering her husband.

In Zhu Biao's description just now, Zhu Biao's own tendency was clearly expressed. The few things he described were all showing the coldness of the princess.

Zhu Biao felt that the princess had become cold.

It's really hard to judge this matter... After all, Lu Changting was not around when the incident happened.

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, showing a little anxiety on his face.It's not easy to see such emotions on his face, after all, Zhu Biao has always been a good-tempered person.

He said in a hoarse voice: "It's been too many times... Ever since I noticed the indifference in her eyes every time she watched coldly, I couldn't help thinking about everything related to her. The more this , I became more sensitive. Even when she wanted to hug Yun Wen, I couldn't help but be terrified."

Then Lu Changting slowly opened his mouth and said: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding..." Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, the Crown Princess is the royal family's daughter-in-law, Zhu Biao's wife.He always had to be tactful first.What's more... Lu Changting has never been able to associate the image of the princess with the word cruel.

Zhu Biao interrupted him softly: "I also hope that I just lost my sight for a while. But the matter is very important. I can't be vague and let it go, but I can't make a big show of it."

It is indeed a matter of great importance.

If the Crown Princess is really different, then she will be even more terrifying than Concubine Liu.The scope of her contact is too wide... From Zhu Biao, down to Zhu Yunqi, and even up to Emperor Hongwu, as a princess, she can get in touch.

And going to investigate the princess with great fanfare is not enough.

Once Emperor Hongwu finds out, is the son and grandson more important, or an unrelated daughter-in-law?In order to prevent future troubles, Lu Changting has no doubt that Emperor Hongwu will directly take the pains to get the princess into Jinyiwei's prison.

Zhu Biao was very aware of his father's temper, so there was a hint of a dilemma between what he said and what he said.

No wonder, even Zhu Yunqi was attracted...Zhu Biao found him so carefully again.

It could only be that something happened to the princess.

In fact, this matter is extremely tricky... Lu Changting doesn't really want to get involved in it.The reason why I dealt with the royal family last time was because of Zhu Xi.No matter how good Zhu Biao treated him, it was only superficial to him, far inferior to Zhu Xi.What's more, last time the emperor personally intervened, but this time he wanted to do it secretly... Those who do things secretly under the emperor's eyelids will never end well.

Lu Changting was very reluctant.

But although the prince is kind, it is not something he can directly lose face.

Lu Changting asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you have any guesses? Is the prince sure that the concubine is affected by Feng Shui?" His tone sounded calm and composed, without any fear of shrinking back, and immediately pleased Zhu Biao greatly.

Zhu Biao became more and more amiable, but the gloom on his face couldn't be shaken off.He said: "I'm not sure, but one person suddenly changed his temper..." It was clearly written on his face: I can only think about Feng Shui.

Lu Changting still provided him with a few more ideas: "There may be many things that can cause a big change in temperament...Eating something that shouldn't be eaten by mistake, being caught by something evil, or even some small changes around him lead to a change in temperament... ...it's all possible."

Many people seem to have no problem on the surface, but when the backlog of negative emotions reaches a certain level in their hearts, it is very likely to cause major changes in temperament, mental errors and other consequences...

Just like whether you are cheerful or not on weekdays has nothing to do with the chance of depression.

No matter how good she is on weekdays, no one knows what she will look like when the moment of collapse comes.

Zhu Biao had a high degree of trust in Lu Changting, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he heard what Lu Changting said.Even the "cause" cannot be determined, so how to cure it?

Lu Changting said in a low voice: "Does the princess have other abnormalities?"

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Except for showing a little indifference from time to time, there are no other abnormalities at all."

When Lu Changting heard the words, he didn't dare to draw conclusions indiscriminately.In fact, it is best to meet the Crown Princess once, no, meeting once is not enough.It is necessary to speak up and let him have enough time to observe his words and deeds before he can reach a safe result.Chinese medicine practitioners have to read, hear and ask. He is a geomancer, so he can't open his mouth and talk nonsense.

But in Lu Changting's capacity, he couldn't say these words.Once said, it becomes an offense.

Zhu Biao also understood this truth, so he smiled and patted Lu Changting on the shoulder, saying: "You must be very tired when you just arrived in Yingtian, go back and rest earlier. Go and have a look at my collection of books."

Lu Changting stood up and took his leave without hesitation, and was escorted out by the eunuch.

After walking out of the East Palace, Lu Changting saw the tall young man standing not far away.

"Fourth brother." Lu Changting quickened his pace without thinking.
