Chapter 4 Murder

"Third Highness, please stay here. The Crown Princess ordered the servants to wait for the prince here."

Zhu Yunxi went to visit his father early the next morning. The prince was critically ill. How could a son sleep peacefully?

Who would have thought that he would be stopped at the door outside the Hall of Chunhe, Zhu Yongxue looked at this eunuch who was Lu's confidant, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, what is the order of mother-in-law?"

Zhang Ping, the eunuch in charge of the Crown Princess, raised a smile, and the folds on his face piled up together, and said with a smile: "The Third Highness, the Crown Princess ordered the slaves to send a message to His Highness,

Said that His Royal Highness's filial piety, the prince already knew, but the prince needs to rest and should not be disturbed, so he asked the third highness to chant scriptures and pray for the prince, so there is no need to go back and forth. "

Zhu Yunxi's eyes tightened, staring at Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping naturally knew his dissatisfaction, but he was the eunuch in charge of the princess, and his status was extraordinary, even the prince would not blame him on weekdays.

To deal with an unfavored and cowardly Highness, isn't that easy to catch?

So Zhang Ping looked directly at Zhu Yunxi, with a smile on his face, bowed slightly, and maintained a humble posture.

But the indifference and contempt revealed in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

Zhu Yunxi held back his anger, and said humbly: "Since the concubine mother has an order, she naturally obeys it, but my father is seriously ill now, I am really worried, and I troubled my father-in-law to go and report, saying that I will leave after just one look at my father. Affecting father's rest."

A melancholy smile appeared on Zhang Ping's face, and he said: "Your Highness, your filial piety is commendable... It's just that the Crown Princess has a life, and my servants dare not disobey, so please go back, Your Highness!"

"Bold slave! Your Highness is the son of the crown prince, how dare you block His Highness's way!"

Wang Zhong and Li Fu followed behind, and couldn't help scolding when they saw this.

"Shut up, don't be rude!"

Zhu Yunxi stopped Wang Zhong in time, bowed his hands and said, "Don't blame the father-in-law... the king knows the love of the mother and concubine, and you need to know filial piety for your children and grandchildren."

"My king pays homage to his mother and concubine, and visits his father. It is the right thing to do... Even if you can't enter the palace to fulfill your filial piety, this king is willing to wait outside the palace and wait for the good news of your father..." As he spoke, he was about to start.

Zhang Ping suddenly stretched out his arm to stop him, the smile on his face had disappeared, and his sparse eyebrows gradually frowned.

"Since your Highness knows how to be filial, then you should obey the order of the Crown Princess! Pray for the Crown Prince well, and disturbing the Crown Prince is a great disobedience. Your Highness, please go back!"

"Zhang Ping, it is filial piety to be obedient to the Crown Princess, and it is also filial piety to visit the Crown Prince. Your Highness goes to fulfill your filial piety. How can you and I, as slaves, go over the line, interfere in the royal affairs, and alienate the royal family? How many brains do you have?"

Li Fu took a step forward, staring at Zhang Ping coldly, apparently unable to bear it anymore.

The muscles on Zhang Ping's face froze immediately, interfering in royal affairs, it would be a crime to take this hat off!
Lao Zhu's cruelty and precautions towards the eunuchs have reached the point of harshness, let alone whether there is such a thing, even if there is a little rumor, he will die badly!

But thinking of the princess's entrustment, he still gritted his teeth fiercely, and said with a grim expression: "This servant is a handicapped person, and there is no need to accuse her of being a slave. It is not a matter of saying that the Third Highness wants to be killed or cut!"

"you!……"

Zhu Yunxi knew that it was the Lu family who was acting as a demon, and she had already sent herself back yesterday. The news of the prince's serious illness must be reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

But why is Zhang Ping so persistent? Could it be that Lao Zhu didn't visit yesterday?

That is also possible, after all, Lao Zhu is famous for his diligence.

Maybe Lao Zhu already knew about it, but he just felt that his condition was getting worse, not yet critically ill, so he didn't rush to visit him right away?
After all, the crown prince has been ill for a long time, and Lao Zhu is used to it, so it is normal for a little aggravation.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was frowning and thinking, Li Fu was afraid that he would go back, so he quickly approached and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, the Emperor should be visiting the Crown Prince right now, and His Highness should go to pay his respects..."

really!

Li Fu, a man in the palace, is really transparent!
Regardless of whether Lao Zhu is here or not, I must go to visit my father!
If he was blocked by a small servant girl, how could he avenge his father?
How could Wang Zhong and Li Fu obey him without any scruples?If the master is too bad, the servant will be chilled.

Besides, Lao Zhu knew that he didn't even dare to resist an eunuch, so how could he believe in his filial piety to his father?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi looked forward and said seriously: "I already know the order of the concubine mother. This king is going to visit my father now. I order you to get out of the way!"

Zhang Ping grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The servant is the servant of the Crown Princess, so naturally she has to carry out the order of the Crown Princess. The servant has a good heart, I advise His Highness to go back..."

"Your Highness... um..., if it collides with the Crown Prince's luck and leads to Ke's death... The Crown Prince made a mistake, and His Highness can't absolve himself of the blame..."

"Bold slave! Guards! Take him down immediately!" Wang Zhong said angrily.

"Yes!"

Seeing Zhu Yongxie staring at Zhang Ping with sharp eyes, the guards of the East Palace burst out with powerful coercion, and the murderous aura made people shudder.

Knowing what the prince meant, he immediately stepped forward to arrest him.

"Who dares to catch me?! I was ordered by the princess, how many heads do you have!"

The guard couldn't help but stop what he was doing, hesitating left and right, not knowing what to do.

They dare not disobey His Highness's order, but they can't afford to offend the Crown Princess.

"You said I would kill the prince."

Zhu Yunxi stared at him firmly, his voice was hoarse, as if it was squeezed out of his throat.

Zhang Ping's complexion changed and he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he hurriedly said: "The servant did not say that, the servant just said that it is better for the Third Highness not to see the crown prince..."

"bass!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly pulled out the guard's knife and stabbed it into Zhang Ping's stomach with a "puchi".

"you!……"

Zhang Ping looked shocked, and looked at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief, with shock written all over his face.

He never thought that this emperor's grandson, who usually looks weak, would suddenly kill him!
"Damn you!"

Zhu Yunxi yelled violently, and swung out the saber again, slashing at his neck and shoulders.

"boom!"

Stand up and kick him on the chest, kicking his whole body far away.

Zhang Ping was lying on the ground covered in blood, with blood gushing out of his mouth, and his face was full of fear...

"Your Highness..."

Li Fu was the first to react from the shock, and stretched out his hand to remove the knife that Zhu Yunxi was holding tightly, so much effort was required.

Zhu Yunxi also reacted from the killing just now, stabilized his mind, and then realized that his body was tense, and his right hand holding the knife was a little painful.

"Wang Zhong, prepare hot water. I will visit my father after taking a bath."

At this time, Zhu Yunxi was in extreme tension and fear, and now he didn't have the energy to deal with Lu's family and the shrewd Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is now..." Wang Zhong couldn't help reminding that he didn't want His Highness to miss this opportunity to perform.

"Father is seriously ill, I'm full of blood and energy and I'm not fit to visit, I'm going to take a bath and change clothes..."
