Crown Prince's Counterattack

Zhu Yunxi had been kneeling outside the prince's bedroom for a day, and everyone couldn't bear to see him, but no one dared to let him in to see Sima Yi, because His Majesty had ordered that the Third Highness not be allowed to approach the prince.

They have heard of the rumors circulating in the palace recently, and they don't want His Highness to get close to the Crown Prince in the past. Now that the Crown Prince's life or death is uncertain, no accidents can happen. If this Highness is really as good as the rumors say Ke, then they really can't let this one in to visit.

So they persuaded and persuaded His Royal Highness, and they had exhausted all the good things, but he also stubbornly refused to leave, preferring to kneel at the gate of the hall, and asked for a chance to visit, which can be regarded as sincerity.

After kneeling for too long, Zhu Yunxi felt that his legs were numb. He was holding on here only with perseverance. He hadn't eaten for a day. Since he was kneeling, he had to appear sincere, so even eunuchs and maids The meal was delivered, but he also rejected it, and his head was a little groggy. It is almost sunset time. Even if there is no snow in this season, the weather is still cold, and the cold wind blows head-on on the face. Yes, he gritted his teeth and propped his hands on the ground, he must not give up...

Zhu Di received the news early in the morning, but he didn't show up in the East Palace until evening.

"Yunxi, are you okay, get up quickly and don't kneel, they won't let you see the prince, your body won't be able to bear it if this continues."

Zhu Di quickly walked in front of Zhu Yunxi, and soon he found that the child was about to be unable to hold on, and he was just holding on here purely with perseverance.

Zhu Yunxi's hands and feet were already stiff from the cold, and his face was pale, but looking at the worried Zhu Di, he still forced himself to show a comforting smile.

"Uncle Si Wang is here...it's okay, I can still support you"

"..."

Zhu Di didn't know whether to praise him for his perseverance or call him stupid. He clearly knew that these people couldn't let him go, but he still chose to use this method to achieve his goal. As a fellow traveler, the warmth that had just emerged in Zhu Di's heart instantly cooled down, and he remembered the purpose of his trip.

"Get up, in fact, you also know that no matter how long you kneel, the emperor will not let you see the prince, will you?"

Zhu Di sighed. With an emperor's grandson who was not valued at all and the eldest son he valued the most, Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to choose can be imagined.

"I know, it's just that I want to give it a try, maybe the emperor's grandfather will agree to it?"

There was a so-called anticipation smile on his purple face from the cold, which couldn't help but move people. Zhu Yunxi knew that the emperor's grandfather would not allow him to meet his father, but there was still a faint expectation in his heart. He was also the grandson of the emperor's grandfather. Seeing his hard work, will he be a little moved, but this little bit of anticipation disappeared without a trace from sunrise to sunset. Sure enough, he is really self-righteous...

"Uncle Si Wang, do you also think that I harmed my father?"

Zhu Di actually believed it in his heart. After all, there were too many coincidences that happened to this child. If it was not necessary, he didn't want to get in touch with this child too much, but he would not say these words.

"You child, what stupid things are you talking about? Can you listen to rumors in the palace? Many things are coincidences, and you have no honor with you, do you know?"

It's a pity that Zhu Yunxi, who has been paying attention to him, saw the fleeting hesitation in his eyes. The words were nice, but compared to the first person who said this to him, this fourth uncle seemed a bit hypocritical. But he showed a very moved expression.

"Follow this king. After you recover your health, this king will go to plead with the emperor himself, how about letting you see the crown prince?"

There is helplessness in Zhu Di's expression of doting and indulgence, which vividly expresses the unit of elders who care for the younger generation.

"Thank you four kings..." Uncle

Zhu Yunxi showed a pure smile, he was about to stand up, but his legs had lost feeling, he fell to the ground with a sprain, his head hit the ground hard, the whole person passed out, and at this time he said It's not over yet.

While there was still speculation about the coma of His Highness the Crown Prince outside, the real scene in the Prince's bedroom was quite unexpected.

Sima Yi sat on the bed, although his face was a little pale, but his eyes were shining brightly, he was obviously in good spirits, there was no trace of the air spreading outside, and there was a half-sized child standing beside him, his figure was a little unstable, But he worked hard to support his body.

Sima Yi did not expect that as soon as the news of his serious illness was released, so many fish, fish, shrimps and shrimps would be caught on the Internet. It seems that the image of the gentle and polite prince he has been trying to present is coming to an end.Don't show any bloody means, I'm afraid that everyone will pinch him as a soft persimmon in the future. Sometimes, these ministers are so cheap and don't want them. The good-tempered emperors like to point fingers. When they really encounter that kind of cruel , Each of them can only be a turtle with a shrinking head.

But now there is always one thing that can satisfy him.

"Now you have gained his basic trust. You have done a good job, and you have lived up to Gu's expectations of you."

"Thank you, father, for your appreciation"

Zhu Yunxi's face was agitated, and he quickly knelt down again, completely forgetting the injury on his foot, a painful expression suddenly appeared on his face, and his facial expression was distorted for a moment.

"Sit down quickly, there is no need to be polite, how is your injury, I have wronged you for asking you to do this."

"Father is serious. It is the duty of a son to share worries for father. On the contrary, my child should thank father for giving me a chance."

Sima Yi showed an appreciative smile. Sure enough, he has a good vision. Compared with Zhu Yunqi, he is more suitable for that position. A person who can be cruel to himself must be more cruel to others.

"In the future, I believe you can do well"

"Thank you, father!"

Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed, knowing that he had obtained the preliminary approval of his father. Although he paid some price in the process, compared to what he got, all this was very worthwhile.

The bait has been cast, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.

Tomorrow is the annual Shangyuan Festival. There are palace lanterns hanging in front of Prince Gong's mansion, and Chao Lu is pestering Zhu Bian to take her out. Zhu Bing hugs Chao Lu with a doting and gentle smile on his face. I'm always in a good mood.

The old butler pushed open the door and walked in, handed a letter to Zhu Bian respectfully, and then exited the room with a wink, at this time he would not dare to disturb unless it was something urgent.

Zhu Fen saw the urgent code hidden on the envelope, and hurriedly tore open the envelope to browse. Seeing Zhu Fen's serious expression, Chao Lu didn't lose his temper anymore, and stood obediently to the side, her gaze fell on the part that she couldn't see at all. On the plain letter.

"Did something happen?"

Seeing Zhu Yan's long silence, Zhao Lu was quite anxious, she was eager to know what was said in the letter.

Zhu Yan's complexion was pale, his eyes were dull, his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't hear what Chao Lu was saying.

The letter was sent to him by the little eunuch he had accidentally rescued back then, who happened to be working in a relatively important position in the East Palace. He took the risk to send this letter to thank him for saving his life, but the content of the letter made him feel very sad. It sank to the bottom.

"It's over, everything is over..."

Zhu Yan repeated this sentence repeatedly, making the ominous feeling of Chaolu on the side more and more intense.

"My lord, what happened?"

She asked him, but he refused to say anything, as if he had a mental illness, which made Chao Lu feel irritable.

"It's over, it's over"

The letter told him that His Majesty had caught the person who wanted to assassinate the crown prince. Zhu Bian suddenly remembered the person he sent who had not heard from him a few days ago. His intuition told him that the person who was arrested was he.He has no confidence that his subordinates will not confess him, but he has to prepare for the worst. He did not expect that a moment of greed would make him so passive. He regretted coming to Beijing this time. If his father found out, what would happen to him——Zhu Bian's eyes could not help but be filled with fear.

"Go, hurry up—"

Zhu Fen stood up suddenly, grabbed Zhao Lu's wrist, and forcibly pulled her away.

"My lord, what's wrong with you, what happened?!"

Zhao Lu struggled hard but couldn't get rid of Zhu Bian's confinement, she couldn't just let him go.

"The people sent by this king have been caught. I'm afraid that the emperor will send people here soon, so we must hide as far away as possible."

Zhu Yan ordered the housekeeper to quickly pack and salute, and left the capital as soon as it was dark.

"No, can't leave"

Zhao Lu screamed, and hurriedly grabbed Zhu Bian, she didn't want to run around with him and go into exile.

"Why don't you leave? If you don't leave, it will be too late. My father will definitely not let me off easily if I attack my elder brother. I must not sit still and wait for my death!"

Zhu Yan was very determined to leave.

"There's nothing left without you, you know?"

"What do you mean? Could it be that you can share wealth with this king, but you don't want to share danger with him? If so, then you can go away, and this king will leave alone."

Zhu Bian thought of something, his face became ugly, and he looked at Chaolu with never-before-seen indifference, he shook off Chaolu's hand and was about to leave, saying that the husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they would fly separately when disaster came, but they didn't expect Lu Zhu'er, whom he has always cherished in his heart, is also this kind of woman, and he deeply hates himself for being blind.

"Wait!"

"What else do you want to say?"

Zhao Lu stopped Zhu Bian, but Zhu Bian just turned his back to him, as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore, but when he heard Zhao Lu's next words, his expression changed drastically.
