Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 215 Queen Qi: Are you the Ming Emperor?
Above the solemn hall, the prince stood alone, his face was like a dark cloud, so gloomy that it made one's heart palpitate. A cold light as sharp as a knife flashed in Queen Qi's eyes. She waved her hand gently, and the maids standing behind her retreated one after another as if they had received silent instructions. As a result, only the mother and son were left in this vast and solemn hall.

"Mother," the prince said in a voice that was almost emotionless, "you are so... shameless!"

Queen Qi sat down slowly, her posture still maintaining the innate dignity and nobility. Her eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing straight towards her son: "Oh? So, Prince, are you planning to force me to marry you? What are you going to do with me?"

The prince also met her gaze without fear, his face was full of pain and struggle, he bowed slightly, his voice was trembling: "My son, please ask my mother to stay in Xingsheng Palace, and not to get involved in government affairs in the future. "

Upon hearing these words, Queen Qi suddenly burst into laughter, which was full of unwillingness and pain. She snorted coldly, with endless sarcasm in her tone: "Prince, are you joining forces with the eldest princess? You are such a good son of this palace. In order to ascend the throne, you can even abandon your own mother."

The prince took a deep breath and then slowly knelt down. His voice was full of pleading and determination: "Mother, please help me! After my son ascends the throne, although I cannot respect you as the Queen Mother, I will definitely ensure that you have a peaceful old age."

A trace of deep pain flashed in Empress Qi's eyes. She slowly raised her hand, her voice choked with sobs: "Get up, the Queen Mother is deliberately giving them a reason to come to you. As long as you can successfully ascend the throne, The queen’s wish has come true.”

The prince suddenly raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes, which showed deep guilt for his mother.

Empress Qi smiled softly, and the smile was full of bitterness and helplessness: "But, these days are really the happiest time of this palace. I have only one request. After you ascend the throne, leave Tang Bohu here. Next to me, other me’s don’t matter.”

"Mother, why are you doing this!" The prince frowned, his heart filled with struggle and pain.

"Your goal has been achieved, now it's up to me." Fourth Master Zhu smiled slightly and spread his hands.

The prince gritted his teeth tightly and shook his head firmly: "No! Queen Mother, do you know Tang Bohu's true identity?"

The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was blocked by thick clouds, and only the whistling wind echoed in the empty Xingsheng Palace.

The grand ceremony for the new emperor's enthronement was held grandly, and the thundering drums echoed throughout the capital. Even in the quiet courtyard in the north of the city, the solemn and exciting atmosphere could be clearly felt. Fourth Master Zhu stood in the courtyard, looking in the direction of the palace, looking a little dazed, as if he was thinking about something.

Then, she sat down slumped again, with two lines of clear tears streaming down her beautiful face.

"After the things here are settled, will you go to Yingtian?" He changed the topic and asked with a smile.

"Very good. When the time comes, you and Wu'er will need to work together to contain Basi Ba." Fourth Master Zhu said solemnly.

……

The next day, the sky cleared.

"You have no idea how miserable I have been in these years." Empress Qi's voice was full of sorrow and despair, "Do you know that your father has stopped coming to Xingsheng Palace for a long time? A woman, in this deep palace, On the surface, it seems to be infinite, but in fact it is like being trapped in a cage. I don’t seek the dignity of the Queen Mother, I just want to live a normal life, isn’t this okay?”

"Fourth Master, just give me your orders!" Zhu Chongjiu laughed proudly, "Don't mention that my son is studying in your academy. Even in our alliance, I, Zhu Chongjiu, should do my best."

"Fourth Master, there is good news from the palace!" Zhu Chongjiu strode over, his face filled with unconcealable joy, "Empress Qi is banned in Xingsheng Palace, and she will no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. "

"Of course we will go, we also want to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Chongjiu raised his eyebrows, "There are important things that need to be discussed with the Ming Emperor."

……

"True identity?" Queen Qi was shocked and asked doubtfully.

This news is undoubtedly great news for Zhu Chongjiu. Queen Ki's loss of power meant that Northern Yuan would no longer have any say in Goryeo's internal affairs, which also provided the King of Goryeo with an excellent opportunity to eradicate pro-Yuan forces.

A hint of fierce fighting spirit flashed in Zhu Chongjiu's eyes. He clenched his fists, and his voice revealed a strong killing intent: "Containment? If I have the chance, I will kill him without hesitation!"

Fourth Master Zhu had a smile on his face, and he had already guessed it. In Goryeo, Zhu Chongjiu and Li Chenggui were in the same group, and Li Chenggui was the founding king of the Lee Dynasty of Goryeo. Together, they are definitely going to rebel.

"Yes! He is not an ordinary person." The prince said solemnly, "He is the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The Imperial Master worked hard to lure him here just to extract the luck from him."

When Queen Qi heard the news, she was struck by thunder. She stood up suddenly, her body trembling slightly with shock. She kept shaking her head and muttering to herself: "How could...how could this happen..."

Fourth Master Zhu was curious about Zhu Chongjiu's terrifying cultivation, but he didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and some things are better not known.

The weak light barely illuminated the corners of the palace, but it was difficult to dispel the strong loneliness and isolation. Empress Qi sat alone on the soft couch, with a sad look on her face, and whispered softly: "He... is actually the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty... Have you been lying to me all this time?"

Swish!
A person flashed in front of her, it was Fourth Master Zhu. When Empress Qi saw him, her heart rippled, and her face flashed with joy, and then she turned cold and frosty: "You still dare to come? I know everything!"

Fourth Master Zhu walked straight to Empress Qi, hugged her into his arms, and looked at her with burning eyes: "Because I miss you!"

These four simple words seemed to have a magical power that made Queen Qi's body soften instantly. Empress Qi leaned in his arms. She bit her red lips and resisted in a low voice: "Let...let me go."

Fourth Master Zhu hugged her tightly, lowered his head and nibbled on her red lips. Her beautiful eyes were blurred, and her hands hooked around Master Zhu's neck. Her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't care anymore. As long as the man in front of her was there, she would It was the last hurray at that time. She completely released herself, venting her ten years of isolation and loneliness in the carnival of this moment.

Half an hour later, Empress Qi snuggled weakly into Fourth Master Zhu's arms. The sadness between her brows has relaxed a lot, and she looks even more charming without her dignity. Coupled with the noble temperament and lazy style, it is even more attractive.

"You are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why did you lie to me?" Tears flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, she was no longer a lofty queen, but a little wife who had been wronged. Fourth Master Zhu hugged her gently and said softly: "I didn't lie to you, I really like you."

He muttered in his heart, it's just that I like a lot of girls, and you are one of them.

Queen Qi pursed her red lips, hugged his arm, and shook her head: "That's all, I don't care about this anymore. We won't see each other again after tonight."

Fourth Master Zhu hugged her tightly and sighed softly: "I am also here to say goodbye. If my identity is exposed, your national advisor will not let me go. I may be surrounded and killed by them."

Empress Qi became worried again. She slowly sat up, took out a token from the side and handed it to Master Zhu, saying: "Take it and you can leave the city."

Fourth Master Zhu was secretly happy, took the token, and said tenderly: "Thank you, empress, I will let you serve me just once!"

Queen Qi bit her red lips and nodded, this was the last hurray. …

The next morning, the sun shone on the bed through the window lattice, and Queen Qi slowly woke up.

She found that the person beside her pillow had disappeared, and she felt an inexplicable loss in her heart. Her eyes were dark, and two lines of tears fell down her cheeks, knowing that she and that person were farewell forever.

At the same time, Fourth Master Zhu has returned to the mansion. He solemnly handed the token in his hand to Zhu Di who was refining his body, and said solemnly: "Get ready, take Ding Xiu and the others out of the city first, and wait for your father at the designated location."

When Zhu Di heard this, he shook his head firmly: "I won't go! Let Ding Xiu go. I want to go with you to deal with the imperial master."

Snapped!
Fourth Master Zhu slapped him on the back of the head and glared: "Are you going to trouble me? With your current level of cultivation, the Imperial Master can slap you to death with one slap. Take the token and get out of here!"

"Okay!" Zhu Di took the token, patted his butt and left.

"???" Fourth Master Zhu held his forehead, this guy was really agile in rolling.

Wan'er stood at the door with a faint smile, spreading her hands towards the dazed Fourth Master Zhu: "This apprentice of yours will be able to do great things in the future!"

Fourth Master Zhu had a black line on his face: "That's not the case!"

He walked over and hugged Wen'er in his arms, sighing: "You should also be prepared. I plan to go to the eldest princess's mansion and throw myself into a trap."

Wener snuggled in his arms, raised her delicate face, blinked and smiled: "Don't be so depressed, we have to work hard and cheer up. I believe you can do it! I'll do it now Go find Zhu Chongjiu and lay ambush outside Qintian Prison, waiting for your good news. "

Fourth Master Zhu pinched her cheek lovingly and nodded in agreement. Wearing a pink dress, Wener jumped away as lightly as an elf, leaving behind a gorgeous back.

Swish!
Zhang Xuansu flew down in front of him and bowed: "Master, everything is ready on my side."

Fourth Master Zhu nodded: "Counting the time, Zhu Yuanzhang is almost here. Come on, I'll go and throw myself into a trap."

……

The eldest princess's mansion.

Zhao Xuanzhen had a big belly, and her beautiful face was elegant and soft, completely losing its original beauty. She gently touched her belly and sighed softly: "My child, it seems that your father will not come."

As she finished speaking, she saw Fourth Master Zhu coming in while chewing sesame cakes. He spread his hands towards her and complained with a depressed look on his face: "The sesame cakes in Yingchang City are far worse than those in Yingtian City!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fourth Master Zhu came in chewing sesame seed cakes. He spread his hands towards Zhao Xuanzhen and complained with a depressed look on his face: "The sesame cakes in Yingchang City are really far behind those in Yingtian City!"

When Zhao Xuanzhen heard this, she glared at him and said angrily: "Didn't you say you couldn't come back?"

"Oh, even if I have to leave, I still have to say goodbye to you, right?" Fourth Master Zhu sighed and said helplessly, "I haven't seen my child born yet."

Zhao Xuanzhen felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, but she quickly controlled her emotions. She hooked her finger at Fourth Master Zhu and motioned for him to come over.

Fourth Master Zhu walked up to her with a smile and gently hugged her into his arms: "I won't leave now, so I will stay with you with peace of mind."

There was still half a sentence in his mind that he hadn't said out loud - let's stay with you for a few days. After we break up, we probably won't have the chance to be so tender again.

"Okay!" Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes were flashing with tears. She knew that such peaceful days were numbered. The Qintian Prison's formation has been set up. All for the sake of Dayuan, she must also find a way to bring Master Zhu there. She secretly thought that if she could save his life in the end, she would let him enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.

"Speaking of Yingtiancheng's sesame cakes, I also miss the taste." She said softly, "Can you make them for me?"

"Of course!" Master Zhu patted her back, turned around and went to prepare.

Zhao Xuanzhen looked at his back and couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. She recalled the time on the mountain behind the academy, which was perhaps the happiest moment in her life.

……

At night, the moonlight is hazy.

Fourth Master Zhu hugged Zhao Xuanzhen lightly, and the two stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the cold moon hanging high in confusion. Zhao Xuanzhen snuggled tightly in his arms, her face soft and peaceful. She said softly: "The night in Xanadu is even more beautiful than this." Upon hearing this, Fourth Master Zhu raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. : "Actually, I really want to see the boundless prairie."

"Really? I will take you there later." Zhao Xuanzhen said happily, "I actually grew up on the grassland. At that time, I rode horses and ran wildly every day, and then I went to Dadu."

"The horse is galloping." Fourth Master Zhu looked up at the cold moon.

Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes drooped slightly, and her mood was complicated, but she knew that some things had to be done. She slowly said, "Will you accompany me to Qintian Prison tomorrow? Let the supervisor take a look at the child."

"Okay!" Fourth Master Zhu answered simply.

But he felt a pain in his heart. This woman finally chose Dayuan. However, he didn't blame her too much, on the contrary, he admired her a little.

Zhao Xuanzhen hugged her tightly and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Fourth Master Zhu pretended not to know anything and said with a smile: "From now on, I will leave the child to you to train. I don't understand your grassland."

"Yes!" Zhao Xuanzhen nodded heavily, "Our children will definitely be healthy and become great heroes on the grassland."

"Be like me." Fourth Master Zhu pointed at himself proudly.

Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled: "I can't be like you, you scumbag!"

Fourth Master Zhu has a black streak on his head.
