King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

So Zhu Tan taught Zhang Yuanying a lesson.

He took a step forward, came in front of Zhang Yuanying, stretched out his hands, grabbed Zhang Yuanying's chin, lowered his head, and kissed Zhang Yuanying's cherry lips.

The quarrel between Zhang Yuanying and Ma Yuexian has attracted a lot of people's attention.

Zhu Tan's action made everyone's eyes widen, and the whole hall was boiling.

This behavior is like appearing on the street with a real weapon to attract people's attention.

Zhang Yuanying was completely stunned. She had never thought that such a thing would happen.

He seemed to be frozen in place, unable to react at all.

Zhang Mao's wife and Zhang Lun's wife were even more horrified, because under such circumstances, a Jianchang Marquis actually dared to kiss Zhang Yuanying.

It is so shameless that it is simply ruining Zhang Yuanying's reputation.

In other words, it would be difficult for Zhang Yuanying to find a partner in her life. No one would want a woman who had physical contact with other men. Even if she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, it would be a very troublesome thing!
Zhang Yuanying came to his senses and let out a sharp scream, catching Zhu Tan off guard.

She kicked Zhu Tan in the lower body. Zhu Tan was caught off guard, and although his testicles were not directly crushed, he was kicked like a cooked shrimp, with his face flushed red.

"Fuck, you're so fierce. It hurts me so much."

Zhu Tan's legs became weak from being kicked, luckily Ma Yuexian supported her so she did not fall to the ground.

"How dare you tease me, who do you think you are?"

Zhang Yuanying is no pushover, she comes from a prominent family and can be said to be a Wuying-level player.

After a successful attack, he was not willing to give up and kicked Zhu Tan in the face with two consecutive kicks.

If Zhu Tan was hit by Zhang Yuanying's kick, he would at least be disfigured or have a nosebleed.

But he was in horrible pain, and there was no way to avoid it.

Seeing that the embroidered shoes were about to fall on his face, Chu Tian closed his eyes and prepared himself to bear it.

A graceful figure appeared in front of him, it was Ma Yuexian.

Bang! Zhang Yuanying's leg hit Ma Yuexian right in the chest.

Ma Yuexian groaned but made no sound. She simply lost control of her body and fell into Zhu Tan's arms.

It sounds slow, but in fact it only happened in ten breaths.

When Empress Zhang saw this, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

When she saw Zhang Yuanying kicking Tangtang, her face turned pale instantly and then turned red.

He was just angry. If his penis was broken by the kick, how would he reproduce in the future?
"What a courage."

Empress Zhang spoke up and said that she was the most favored woman in the palace and her power was unparalleled.

The palace maids and eunuchs were immediately shocked. They stopped Zhang Yuanying who was about to take action and helped Zhu Tan and Ma Yuexian up.

Empress Zhang hurried over and saw Chuchu, who was in so much pain that she was almost crying, Ma Yuexian, and Zhang Yuanying, who looked unwilling.

Empress Ma was so angry that she slapped Zhang Yuanying in the face.

Zhang Yuanying's nose was bleeding and her lips were red from the beating. Empress Zhang was really angry.

In fact, Empress Zhang was not an understanding woman. She favored her brother and was known for protecting her shortcomings. However, because of Zhu Youtang's favor for her, no one could say anything bad about her.

That's why Emperor Jiajing disliked her and allowed her to suffer all kinds of grievances and pain in the palace. It was really too miserable. However, no matter how sad she was, there were some people who hated her, such as his unfairness to the second brother Zhang.

Zhang Yuanying could laugh at Ma Yuexian for being shameless and even beating Marquis Jianchang, but when facing Empress Zhang, she had to swallow her anger and dared not resist. However, the reluctance in her heart was evident in her words.

Empress Zhang beat Zhang Yuanying and felt a little regretful. She thought she was blinded by anger and it really damaged her status.

"If anything happens to Jilang, I'll take the blame on you."

Empress Zhang was no pushover. Her words hit Zhang Yuanying's soft spot, and because her movements were too seductive, many people present saw it.

And looking at Zhu Tan's current appearance, it seems that his legs were really broken and he can't even do anything.

"Why?" the man asked angrily:

Zhang Yuanying's stubborn nature also came out. She didn't have the courage to take action, not because she was afraid, but so what?

She also has royal blood flowing in her veins. Her grandmother is Emperor Longqing, Emperor Yingzong. Princess Longqing died twenty-five years ago, but her bloodline is still there, so strictly speaking, she is no inferior to Empress Zhang.

Empress Zhang said angrily: "If he cannot have children, I will marry you to him and report this to the emperor."

Seeing that the scene was somewhat chaotic, Empress Dowager Zhou, wife of Zhang Mao, hurriedly stood up and tried to calm the situation, but this incident disrupted the birthday banquet and the wedding ended hastily.

Empress Zhang sent someone to invite the imperial physician to treat Zhu Tan and Ma Yuexian. Zhu Tan was relieved when he saw that the person was not the Mongolian doctor Liu Wentai.

If you let a liar treat it, it will be even more serious. Even if there is no problem, there will be a problem.

Zhu Tanlian walked like a crab, which made Empress Zhang very sad, while her mother Jin was wiping her tears.

They are all veterans and know that the consequences of this kick will be disastrous.

Empress Zhang and Lady Jin expressed their gratitude to Ma Yuexian for standing up.

If Ma Yuexian had not acted in time, Chu Tian would probably have been disfigured.

In Empress Zhang's room, the imperial physician had already asked someone to take off Zhu Tan's clothes.

At this moment, Zhu Tan only felt his lower body go weak and a little worried, without any other feeling.

The imperial physician examined him and was relieved.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. His injury should not be fatal and will not affect his descendants."

Zhu Tan suddenly felt relieved, and then asked: "Young Master, why is it not a fatal injury? He was injured so badly, he almost died!" The imperial physician was stunned. He was such a smart man that he immediately understood that Marquis Jianchang meant something else. Facing such a popular man, he naturally had to cooperate!
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. This disease is very serious and very difficult to treat."

Zhu Tan heard him say this and said softly, "Just tell others like this. Even if the Emperor and the Empress ask about it, they will think it's a serious matter. But there's no need to be so sure. Anything is possible! Come to my mansion later. I'll treat you."

When the imperial physician heard that Zhu Tan did not want him to lie, he felt relieved. Naturally, he also wanted to make friends with this big shot in the court, so he agreed repeatedly.

As soon as the news came out, Empress Zhang and Lady Jin burst into tears.

Even Zhu Youtang arrived early, and he didn't even get up early, but came in person to hear about this.

Empress Zhang was Zhu Youtang's beloved daughter. When he saw her crying, his heart ached as well, not to mention that Concubine Jin was also crying beside her.

What's more, as a man, how could he not understand the power of this kick.

But it was a bit too much to let Zhu Youtang deal with Zhang Yuanying. What's more, Zhu Youtang also knew the power and influence of the Duke of Ying in the court.

This concerns the reputation of the two women. If it is investigated, it will also be unfair treatment for Ma Wensheng's granddaughter.

In addition, the wife of Zhang Yuanying's father Zhang Lun was Youzhi, the second daughter of Princess Longqing and her husband Youtai.

Longqing is Zhu Youtang's aunt, and like the little Princess Yixing, she is a troublesome character.

Princess Yixing and her husband Cheng are fine, but Princess Longqing died early, but she had two daughters, and her husband Cheng also married three women, and no one knows what they are doing now.

Liu Wen, Marquis of Anyuan, Zhang Lun, son of Duke of Yingguo, Cao Dong, Earl of Fengrun, Xu Shen, Right General of Tengxiang, and Tan Lun, Earl of Xinning, were all his sons-in-law.

This is the relationship between the nobles, so complicated, so complicated.

Zhu Youtang felt that this matter could not be handled publicly, and that Zhang Mao should not be severely punished for it, nor should Zhang Yuanying be treated harshly.

On the contrary, it is also possible to discuss whether Zhang Yuanying should treat Zhu Tan's injuries, because Zhu Tan was injured by Zhang Yuanying.

"Marquis Jianchang, lie down quickly and don't move." Zhu Youtang saw Zhu Tan trying to stand up, so he stepped forward and held Zhu Tan's shoulders and asked, "Are you okay now?"

Zhu Tan's pain was much relieved, but if he wanted to continue pretending, he had to put on a hypocritical look and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm much better now. It doesn't hurt at all."

This is not painful?
Zhu Youtang understood that Zhu Tan didn't want him to worry. To be honest, seeing his brother-in-law like this, he was furious and immediately summoned Dai Yi, the writing supervisor beside him.

"Pass my order on and ask the Duke of England to make the decision!"

Zhu Youtang no longer had time to explain. Zhang Mao would investigate the matter thoroughly anyway. If the matter could not be explained, it would probably never end.

Empress Zhang, Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong all showed sincere concern for Chu Tian.

Zhu Xiurong was also frightened, but she was still crying, and comforted Chuchu in a mature tone: "Second Uncle, it's okay, it's okay, Rongrong will go buy you some candy now."

Queen Zhang would naturally not let go of the people from the British Duke's Mansion, because given Chu Tian's situation, her words were more effective than her pillow talk.

Zhu Youtang looked serious and promised again and again that he would explain everything clearly to Zhu Tan.

Empress Zhang was also very good at seizing the opportunity and took Shen Qionglian as a palace maid. Although Zhu Youtang admired Shen Qionglian very much, he agreed after listening to her. So he gave Shen Qionglian to Tangtang and asked Shen Qionglian to take care of her.

Empress Zhang mentioned Ma Yuexian who stood up for Zhu Tan. Zhu Youtang immediately ordered the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat her carefully and also rewarded her with many gifts.

More than an hour later, Zhu Youtang and his family left.

Shen Qionglian's fate was determined by a few words from some bigwigs, and she became Zhu Tan's concubine.

For a talented person like her, this might be a shock, but she still had to serve the bedridden Tang Zheng, and she couldn't disobey the emperor's order.

Zhu Tan had completely recovered at this time. He thought that maybe Zhang Yuanying had kicked him in the groin, causing him to almost faint from the pain, but he recovered quickly.

Shen Qionglian knew that the matter was done, so even though she was reluctant, she had to humble herself and show concern for Chuchu.

Fortunately, although she was a female official in the palace, she had some experience in serving people since childhood, so she was not completely at a loss as to how to start. It was just that Zhu Tan's performance really surprised her.

"Go immediately and call the two eunuchs Liu Jin and Zhang Yong to come to me."

Zhu Tan did not want to leave the palace at this time, but the connection between him and Ma Wensheng had to be smooth. After thinking about it, he thought that only Liu Jin and others could be used.

Shen Qionglian nodded, and soon she came over with Liu Jin and Zhang Yong.

Zhu Tan gave a few instructions and finally handed over the contact between himself and Ma Wensheng to Zhang Yong, and also wrote a letter to Ma Wensheng.

Fortunately, Zhu Tan responded promptly, and people came to visit him one after another.

Like the personal eunuchs of Empress Dowager Zhou and Concubine Shao, Queen Dowager Wang also sent people to bring her some tonics such as Korean ginseng. Basically, all the important figures in the palace received gifts from her.

Zhu Youtang's words were still very weighty, and Duke Yingguo Zhang Mao was also very quick-witted and soon learned about this matter. After returning, he directly scolded Zhang Yuanying.

My own precious granddaughter is really capable of causing trouble.

Zhang Yuanying was used to being arrogant. When provoked by Zhang Mao, his neck trembled: "I'm right. He is with Ma Wensheng's granddaughter. Is there anything wrong with me saying a few words?"

Seeing that Zhang Mao was about to refute again, Zhang Yuanying added: "Besides, he touched me, and I just kicked him."

"If you do this, he might become a eunuch. Then you can marry him and become a widow, and then you will be happy?" Zhang Mao said angrily.

Zhang Yuanying was stunned by what he said. She really didn't like Tangtang. If she had to marry Zhu Tan, she might as well kill her.

Zhang Lun stood aside, looking at his daughter unhappily. She had been spoiled since she was a child and always felt that no one could control her and that everyone had to listen to her.

Not to mention that the Marquis of Jianchang had taken advantage of him this time, he was also seriously injured. What if he even lost his own daughter? How could he explain this to his wife?
"Back off!" Zhang Lun sent Zhang Yuanying away and turned around to say, "I just got news from the palace that the Marquis of Jianchang might really be dying. What should we do?"

Zhang Mao was also in a headache, but he also knew where his limit was. The worst result was to let Zhang Yuanying and Zhu Tan get married. Apart from that, what other options were there? However, he did not want Zhang Yuanying to become a widow.

"Tell someone in your house to apologize to Empress Zhang. You Zhi is the granddaughter of Emperor Yingzong and the emperor's cousin, so they are quite close. Tell your father-in-law You Tai to ask his sons-in-law to come over. I have to do something for the sake of Marquis Zu Jianchang!"

Zhang Lun thought about it and it made sense. After all, his wife was a member of the royal family. No matter how angry Empress Zhang was, she would not make things difficult for him.

Just when he was about to inform his wife You Zhi, he saw a middle-aged man hurriedly walking over and kicking the table, as if something big had happened.

Zhang Lun was startled. Was this a punishment for him? (End of this chapter)
