Chapter 106 Saving Queen Ma’s Son and Grandson 16
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't sleep all night, heartbroken and angry. Could it be that an emperor really couldn't have family affection? Before he died, his own son was already eyeing the throne and instigating his nephew to poison his own brother!
Zhu Yuanzhang kept brainwashing himself, thinking that maybe this child was not like that and had some difficulties. With a gloomy face, Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to bring Zhu Yunwen to the imperial study!
Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back as if he wanted to make a hole in the bricks on the ground. Zhu Yunwen came to the imperial study and knelt on the ground without saying a word!
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head sharply and looked at his grandson whom he had somewhat neglected.
"Do you want me to say it for you?"
Zhu Yunwen was, after all, a child who had not grown up. Although there were no innocent people in the palace, Zhu Yunwen was young and inexperienced. Only under Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning did he reveal the truth!
It turned out that Yao Guangxiao, the counselor of Prince of Yan Zhu Di, got in touch with Zhu Yunwen through Li Shanchang's connections. Yao Guangxiao and Li Shanchang analyzed the cause of Lu's death with Zhu Yunwen and instigated Zhu Yunwen to fight for the throne. The lineage of Prince of Yan felt that Zhu Yunwen had the appearance of a wise monarch, and Li Shanchang encouraged Zhu Yunwen to please the prince more and suppress Zhu Xiongying!
Yao Guangxiao secretly gave Zhu Yunwen a packet of powdered medicine. It was a kind of devilish pollen from the Western Regions. Consuming it would cause a high fever and resemble an epidemic, making it impossible to detect. Zhu Biaoying would undoubtedly die if he ingested it. This would make Zhu Yunwen the crown prince's eldest son! With the help of Li Gelao and the Prince of Yan, His Highness would surely secure his throne.
The key point is that Zhu Yunwen really fell into this big trap! Zhu Yunwen had no psychological burden at all about poisoning Zhu Xiongying!
After all, Lu had been the Crown Princess for several years. Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had cleaned out some of them after the last incident, they still left a lot of people!
The young eunuch who served Zhu Xiongying with pens and ink was the person left behind by Lu!
Zhu Yunwen gave the young eunuch two thousand taels of silver, and the young eunuch put poison in the Longjing tea that Zhu Xiongying liked to drink. When the young eunuch just handed the tea to Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Biao came to test Zhu Xiongying's homework. Zhu Biao had drunk some wine that day, and when he saw the new tea on Zhu Xiongying's table, he picked it up and drank it!
Zhu Yuanzhang slumped down in his chair, shaking with anger, his eyes rolling back as he passed out! The entire study was in chaos. Empress Ma and Xu Huizhen rushed to the imperial study. As soon as Xu Huizhen felt Zhu Yuanzhang's pulse, she knew he had fainted from anger: "Your Majesty, you have fainted from anger."
Xu Huizhen took out a silver needle and pricked Zhu Yuanzhang's Ren Zhong acupoint. Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes!
Zhu Yuanzhang, an old man with gray hair, lay in the arms of Queen Ma and cried loudly!
Xu Huizhen and the eunuchs and palace maids who served them hurriedly retreated. It is best not to get involved in such matters as the emperor, otherwise you will not know how you died! Only Empress Ma can comfort Zhu Yuanzhang in such matters!
Empress Ma also cried inconsolably while hugging Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his tears and said: "Sister, when our family was poor, although we had no food to eat, we lived a happy life. The children from our hometown helped us and we lived a prosperous life. But since I became the emperor, I have not had a good day. These are not sons and grandsons, they are all wolves!
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh! I feel so miserable! I originally thought that brothers would fight against tigers together, and fathers and sons would fight together. Brothers are always better than outsiders! I never thought that I would raise the hearts of these bastards! "
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped crying. Looking at Zhu Yunwen, who was curled up on the ground, he said viciously, "How could I have such a stupid grandson like you! Just like your wicked mother! Stupid and vicious! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself! Do you deserve this position?
Do you really think that with your talent and grace, the throne belongs only to you? You believe everything they say! Do your fourth uncle and Li Shanchang really value your talent and want to help you ascend to the throne? They sold you out, and you still have to count the money for them!
From today on, my Zhu family will not have disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous descendants like you! You and your fourth uncle should go to Zhongdu Fengyang to live out your remaining days! Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. If I leave my family business to people like you, even if I am in my coffin, I will be so angry that I will crawl out and strangle you two to death!
The emperor was furious, and blood flowed like a river! Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered Lan Yu to lead the imperial guards and palace masters to the Prince of Yan's mansion to capture the Prince of Yan's lineage and bring them to the Zhongdu Fengyang. Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized the army and sent Li Wenzhong to take over the military affairs of Yandi. He also promoted Liu Sanwu, the secretary of the Central Secretariat, to the governor of Ji and Liao to take over the government affairs of Yanyun!
Unlike Zhu Yunwen, a commander without any troops, Zhu Di is a real prince with real power! Only a brave general like Lan Yu can capture the Prince of Yan!
Xu Huizhen didn't want to get involved in this mess in the palace anymore. The prince recovered in less than half a month. Xu Huizhen quickly packed her luggage and took a carriage back home.
Ding has been living like an old lord in the Marquis' Mansion for the past few years, and she has gained experience and is able to manage her household in an orderly manner!
Seeing Xu Huizhen come home, Ding quickly prepared dinner and sent the kitchen to boil water for Xu Huizhen to take a bath and change clothes! Xu Huizhen was almost wrinkled from soaking in the tub. The maid used a loofah to scrub Xu Huizhen's body, and another maid used a beautiful bamboo tube to wash Xu Huizhen's hair!
Not to mention the maid's skills are quite good. Xu Huizhen didn't have to move her head and was very comfortable being massaged by the maid! After washing her hair, the maid wrapped Xu Huizhen's hair with a large towel. The maid who scrubbed her hair was also scrubbing. When Xu Huizhen came out of the bathtub, the maid immediately used a towel to wipe the water droplets off her body!
After donning a cotton undershirt, Xu Huizhen's full massage treatment began. She went to her bedroom, laid down on a specially designed massage bed, took off her undershirt, and lay down on the soft, comfortable bed. A maid, holding a floral dew made from spiritual spring water and roses, massaged Xu Huizhen's acupuncture points, providing a full aromatic treatment. Two other maids sat on small stools and massaged Xu Huizhen's feet.
Xu Huizhen was very happy and thought, no wonder everyone wanted to be in power. It felt so good to be served. Four people were massaging her. One maid was massaging her head, one was massaging her body, and two were massaging her feet. Xu Huizhen felt that this was the life a real person should live!
Xu Huizhen lay drowsy in bed, while Mrs. Ding was bustling with activity. Suddenly, she remembered that her daughter-in-law loved this cold-mixed jellyfish dish and she had forgotten to tell the kitchen. Then, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't gone to school to pick up her grandson yet! How could her memory be so muddled?
Mrs. Ding hurriedly sent for Li Muyang to return home. After two hours of preparation, a sumptuous meal was laid out on the table! Shredded tripe in red oil, stir-fried liver tips, sea cucumber with scallions, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised prawns, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, stinky mandarin fish, cold-mixed jellyfish, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried meat with black fungus. Winter melon and shrimp soup, chicken skin and sour bamboo shoot soup! It was a rare family meal together!
If the Li family is a family of loving mothers and filial sons, then the entire Ming Dynasty is about to face a storm!
