Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chu Ze asked.

The man in black smiled and said, "You will soon know what I want to do."

Before he finished speaking, his figure turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Chu Ze...

The black-clothed man's moves were as fast as lightning, and each move was fatal. Chu Ze protected Shen Yue, fighting and retreating.

"Chu Ze, your death has come!" said the man in black with a grin.

Chu Ze snorted coldly and fought back unwillingly. The two of them fought back and forth, and the fight was fierce.

Shen Yue hid behind Chu Ze, watching the fierce fight between the two, her heart filled with worry. She knew that the man in black was very powerful, and Chu Ze was probably not his opponent.

Suddenly, the man in black made a feint and slapped Shen Yue with his palm.

Seeing this, Chu Ze didn't care about his own safety, pushed Shen Yue away, and took the palm strike himself.

"Puff..." Chu Ze spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Yue exclaimed, and hurried to Chu Ze and helped him up.

"I... am fine..." Chu Ze said, enduring the severe pain.

The man in black looked at Chu Ze, with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Chu Ze, you really overestimate your own abilities! Do you think you can fight me?"

Chu Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, struggled to stand up, and stared coldly at the man in black: "I will not let you succeed even if I die!"

The man in black laughed loudly: "How ridiculous! Do you think you still have a choice?"

He attacked again, heading towards Chu Ze.

Chu Ze knew that he was no match for the man in black, but he did not give up resistance. He used all his strength to fight the man in black to death.

The two men fought hard again, and the palace was in a mess. Tables, chairs and benches were overturned, vases were broken, and there was chaos everywhere.

Shen Yue watched from the side, extremely anxious. She knew that if this continued, Chu Ze would surely die.

At this moment, Shen Yue suddenly thought of something. She ran to the bed, picked up a vase, and threw it at the man in black.

"Bang!" The vase hit the man in black on the head and shattered.

The man in black was stunned by the sudden attack. He covered his head and groaned in pain.

Chu Ze took advantage of the opportunity and slapped the black-clad man on the chest.

The man in black spat out blood again, his body flew backwards, broke through the window and flew out.

Chu Ze watched the black-clad man disappear and heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around, walked to Shen Yue, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Shen Yue shook her head: "I'm fine, Your Majesty, how are you?"

Chu Ze smiled and said, "I'm fine."

He paused, and then said: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have been..."

Shen Yue lowered her head shyly: "I just did what I should do."

Chu Ze looked at Shen Yue's shy appearance, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but hug her in his arms.

Shen Yue's body trembled slightly, but she did not resist. She snuggled in Chu Ze's arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with sweetness and happiness.

The two hugged each other for a long time before reluctantly parting.

"Your Majesty, it's late, you should go to bed early." Shen Yue said softly.

Chu Ze nodded and watched Shen Yue leave the bedroom.

He walked to the window and looked at the night sky outside, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that the man in black was not dead and he would definitely appear again at some point.

Moreover, the man in black looked exactly like him. What was going on? Chu Ze felt like he was trapped in a huge mystery, and he didn't know how to solve it.

……

In the following days, Chu Ze handled government affairs while secretly investigating the identity of the man in black.

He sent out a large number of secret guards to gather information everywhere, but still found nothing.

The man in black seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and never appeared again.

This made Chu Ze feel even more uneasy. He knew that the man in black must be secretly plotting something.

……

One month later, on a sunny afternoon.

Chu Ze was taking a walk in the imperial garden when suddenly, a eunuch came running over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, this is bad!" the eunuch shouted in panic, "The Empress... The Empress..."

"What's wrong with the Queen?" Chu Ze's heart tightened and he asked quickly.

"The Queen...she...she is pregnant!" the eunuch stammered.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed.

He grabbed the eunuch's shoulders and said excitedly: "What did you say? The queen is pregnant? Are you sure?"

The eunuch nodded quickly: "I am sure! The imperial physician has confirmed that the queen is indeed pregnant!"

Chu Ze let go of the eunuch and laughed loudly: "I'm going to have a child! I'm finally going to have a child!"

He was so excited that he danced like a child in the imperial garden.

The news of Shen Yue's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the palace, and the whole country celebrated.

Chu Ze granted amnesty to the whole world, and the whole world celebrated.

However, while everyone was immersed in joy, a conspiracy was quietly brewing...

In the palace, in an inconspicuous corner.

A palace maid was talking furtively with a man in black.

"How's the matter going?" asked the man in black.

"Your Excellency, everything has been arranged." The maid replied respectfully.

"Very good." The man in black nodded with satisfaction. "Remember, you must do it cleanly and neatly, and don't leave any clues."

"Yes, sir." The maid quickly agreed.

The man in black turned and left, disappearing into the darkness.

The maid looked at the back of the man in black as he left, a sinister light flashing in her eyes...

In the next few days, Chu Ze was immersed in the joy of becoming a father and had no idea that danger was approaching step by step.

Until that day...

Chu Ze's heart was filled with joy like a tsunami. He was going to have an heir! The Ming Dynasty would have a successor! He picked up the eunuch who came to announce the good news and turned around several times before he remembered the reward. This was great news!
"Reward! Huge rewards!" Chu Ze laughed heartily, as if he wanted to vent all the joy in his chest.

The entire palace was immersed in a joyous atmosphere. The palace maids and eunuchs rushed to tell each other, their faces filled with irrepressible smiles. The news of Shen Yue's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, and the people also cheered and told each other. Chu Ze was very pleased and issued an order to amnesty the whole country, and the whole world celebrated.

However, beneath this jubilant scene, an undercurrent is quietly surging.

The maid who met with the man in black was named Cui'er. She looked gentle and submissive, but in fact she was a pawn planted by the man in black beside the queen. She followed the instructions of the man in black and tampered with Shen Yue's diet. (End of this chapter)
