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

Chapter 286 The Lu family was thrown into the cold palace, Zhu Xiongying wants revenge
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son with sadness and anger in his heart. The woman not only killed the princess, but also deeply hurt the prince. The prince was the one who suffered the most from this matter.

"Father, my son...my son..." Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with tears, "my son is at my father's disposal."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time. He thought a lot, and finally waved his hand: "Let the Lu family be thrown into the cold palace first, and wait until you are punished! Old Twelve, you take the female officials from the harem with you."

"Ah?" Zhu Bai refused in his heart, "Should this matter be handled by the main courtyard?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily, "This matter cannot be spread out, and the family scandal cannot be publicized. Don't you know?"

"My son, I obey the decree." Zhu Bai nodded and ordered.

He left the Wenhua Palace and headed towards the East Palace with the royal guards and the female officials in the harem. At this moment, he thought that Queen Ma was here and could take charge of the overall situation. It happened that Queen Ma was traveling.

This matter, East Palace.

Ms. Lu was walking in the garden. She looked sad. She had been worried about the Lu family's affairs during this period, but there was no news. She could only worry in this deep palace.

"Mother and concubine, nothing will happen to grandpa." Zhu Yunwen said, "At most, he is cutting officials to serve the people. He was not involved in Shouzhou's affairs."

"Hey, the Lu family that finally got up is gone." Mrs. Lu sighed.

"Mother and concubine will still have me in the future." Zhu Yunwen said.

"Well, mother, you are the only one left." Mrs. Lu's eyes were dark, "I guess it won't be long before your father will marry another princess. From now on, there will be no place for me in the East Palace."

"How could it be? My father loves you the most, my mother and concubine." Zhu Yunwen said.

Lu's face was complicated. She knew why she got Zhu Biao's love.

……

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and Zhu Bai came in with a large number of royal guards and female officers. Zhu Yunwen immediately stopped in front of Mr. Lu and shouted at Zhu Bai: "Uncle Twelve, this is the East Palace. Do you dare to bring your royal guards into the East Palace?"

Zhu Bai glanced at him, then his eyes fell on Lu, and said coldly: "According to the emperor's order, Lu will be thrown into the cold palace!"

a bolt from the blue!

Zhu Yunwen couldn't believe his ears: "It's impossible! Why should my mother and concubine be thrown into the cold palace? The affairs of the Lu family have nothing to do with my mother and concubine."

"Ask what Concubine You did!" Zhu Bai said in a cold voice, "If it weren't for the sake of the eldest brother, I would have killed her right now."

"You are bold!" Zhu Yunwen roared, "You are a cruel official, and you don't even spare your own relatives? No wonder the courtiers say you are a cruel official, that you are here to be a good minister, that you..."

Snapped!
Zhu Xiongying came out of nowhere and slapped Zhu Yunwen on the face, glaring angrily: "Are you deaf? This is Grandpa Huang's oral instruction. If you have the guts, go and say these words in front of Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Yunwen covered his face and shut up immediately. Zhu Bai waved his hand violently, and the female officer stepped forward to hold Lu and led her out. Lu's face was pale and she was extremely panicked. She guessed that the matter had been found out? It's impossible, it's so hidden.

"Uncle Twelve, for what crime did the emperor consign my mother and concubine to the cold palace? Please tell me clearly." Zhu Yunwen rushed up.

"I got a letter from your mother-in-law to her master in the Lu family's room." Zhu Bai's eyes were like daggers. "What crime? Your mother-in-law should know it herself."

Lu's face turned pale as a sheet after hearing this.

Zhu Yunwen was puzzled and came to Mrs. Lu and asked urgently: "Concubine, what did you write? I will go to Grandpa Huang to plead for you."

Tears fell from Lu's eyes: "Yunwen, it's useless. You have to take care of yourself in the future."

Zhu Bai waved his hand: "Take it away!"

He took the female officials and took Lu into a cold palace.

……

Zhu Xiongying looked suspicious and pestered Zhu Bai to ask, "Uncle Twelve, what is going on?"

Zhu Bai's face was tangled, he hesitated to speak, and finally said with a sudden heart: "Xiongying, this matter has something to do with you, and you have the right to know the truth. But after I say it, you should calm down, don't be impulsive, and listen to Grandpa Huang's disposal. "

He then told the story of how Lu poisoned the Crown Princess Chang. After hearing this, Zhu Xiongying’s eyes were splitting, and he clenched his fists: "I want to avenge my mother! This poisonous woman, my mother treated her Like sisters, she attacked my mother."

"Xiongying, don't be impulsive!" Zhu Bai stopped Zhu Xiongying who was about to rush into the cold palace.

"Uncle Twelve, don't stop me." Zhu Xiongying was furious.

"Your Imperial Grandfather will handle it on his own," Zhu Bai said, "This matter concerns the royal family's face, so you have to put the overall situation first."

Zhu Xiongying slowly calmed down. Zhu Bai pulled him to the East Palace, comforting him as he walked: "Hey, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the royal family, but I didn't expect it to happen to my Zhu family. Xiongying, remember, you are the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. But you must be calm and patient.”

"Uncle Twelve, I understand." Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Zhu Bai was worried and chatted with Zhu Xiongying for a long time before returning to Wenhua Palace. When he arrived at the door of Wenhua Hall, he heard Zhu Yunwen's crying coming from inside.

"What's inside?" he asked Wang Jinghong, who was standing at the door.

"His Royal Highness King Xiang, aren't you embarrassing my servant? How can my servant listen to this?" Wang Jinghong said. Zhu Bai approached the door and heard very clearly that it was Zhu Yunwen pleading for her mother-in-law: "Grandpa Huang, my mother-in-law made a lot of mistakes, and she was also deceived by outsiders. You can abolish her and put her to death." She is in the cold palace, and my grandson only asks you to spare her life. Your grandson cannot live without his mother. Grandpa Huang, will all the children in the East Palace lose their mothers?"

This sentence hit Zhu Yuanzhang. He looked gloomy and sighed: "Yunwen, you go down first. Lu's matter has not been dealt with yet. We will find out and then make a decision."

"My grandson asked Grandpa Huang to let me go to the cold palace to accompany my mother." Zhu Yunwen knelt down.

"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved, "Go back to your East Palace."

Zhu Yunwen burst into tears, kowtowed heavily, and exited the Wenhua Hall.

……

He returned to the East Palace and saw an angry-looking Zhu Xiongying. Zhu Xiongying hit him with his fist and shouted angrily: "Your mother is a poisonous woman. She poisoned my mother."

Bang bang bang!
The fist fell, and soon Zhu Yunwen was bruised and swollen. He was no match at all. Zhu Xiongying wanted to continue fighting, but Zhu Bai, who was chasing him, quickly pulled away from him and said in a deep voice: "Xiongying, do you want to beat him to death? If that's the case, you are finished."

Zhu Xiongying's eyes were filled with fire, but he forced himself to calm down. Zhu Bai went to help Zhu Yunwen up from the ground. Zhu Yunwen's face was gloomy, but he endured it, thinking that sooner or later, he would have to take back today's shame.

"I don't want to live in this East Palace anymore. I'll take my brother to Grandma Huang's Kunning Palace." Zhu Xiongying said.

After saying that, he went into the house and took Zhu Yunxi out, heading to Kunning Palace. Zhu Bai thought, this is good, so as to prevent them from fighting again. In that case, something big will happen sooner or later.

When Zhu Xiongying arrived at Kunning Palace, he met Zhu Mengyao who was about to go out. Zhu Mengyao looked curious: "I heard that the Lu family was relegated to the cold palace. What happened to the East Palace?"

"Woooooo~" Zhu Xiongying ran into Zhu Mengyao's arms and cried loudly.

"Little Eagle, what happened?" Zhu Mengyao patted his back and said, "Quick, tell grandma."

Although she is a few years older than Zhu Xiongying, according to her seniority, she is indeed Zhu Xiongying's aunt. Zhu Xiongying has followed her since she was a child, and the two are very close.

"I know the murderer who killed my mother." Zhu Xiongying said.

Zhu Mengyao's smart eyes turned and asked: "Isn't it the Lu family?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "That's her!"

Zhu Mengyao sighed like a young adult: "This matter will be difficult to handle."

……

Suzhou City, city gate.

Queen Ma said to Guo Ying who was escorting him: "You can go back and continue training. I have a concubine by my side, so everything will be fine."

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to safety along the way." Guo Ying bowed.

Although he wanted to continue escorting Queen Ma, Queen Ma refused, so he had no choice but to send her to Suzhou City. Suzhou is the hometown of Queen Ma. This time she returned to her hometown incognito, paid homage to her ancestors, and then went south.

"Suzhou City is also very lively." Wen'er looked around and said.

"The Ming Dynasty has been recovering and recuperating in the past few years, and the emperor has continued to bring money from overseas, so various places have developed." Empress Ma said with pride on her face, "This also shows that the Ming Dynasty has surpassed the former Yuan Dynasty."

"That's for sure." Weier spread her hands, "Your Majesty is a good emperor."

"Hahaha, if you tell Chongba in person, he will be very happy." Empress Ma smiled, and then her expression darkened again, "The Ming Dynasty has begun to become rich, but corrupt officials have also risen in various places. It is far from its prosperous age. "

As she talked, she observed that when she was a child, she also visited Suzhou City, and the changes were not as big as usual. Wener is like a child, curious about many things: "This, and that, I want to buy it."

"Come home with me first, and come back to buy later." Queen Ma said with a smile.

"Who are the other relatives at home?" Wener was curious.

"Hey, almost all my relatives have passed away." Empress Ma sighed quietly, "Only my sixth uncle is still alive. I met him a few years ago. This time I came to Suzhou to see him."

She led Wen'er through several streets and came to a large house. She told the servant at the door that she was a relative from the capital, and the servant quickly went in to report.

Soon, an old man with long eyebrows came out. He recognized Queen Ma at a glance and shouted: "Girl Ma!"

After shouting, he realized that he was rude and quickly knelt down: "The common people pay their respects to the Queen."

"Sixth Uncle, get up quickly." Empress Ma stepped forward to help him up. "I am incognito this time, so I don't need to be polite. It's my turn to salute you. Sixth Uncle, how have you been in health these years?"

"I'm getting old, and my health is getting worse." The old man smiled contentedly, "I have no regrets if I can still see you. Please come in."

Huan'er read the big characters on the door plaque, which said Wu Mansion. Queen Ma's uncle's surname was Wu, and his name was Wu Congzhen. Their family received a reward from the emperor, and they had no worries about food and clothing.

"Sixth Uncle, please help me prepare. I will go to worship my ancestors tomorrow." Queen Ma said.

"Okay, okay, it's time to say goodbye." Wu Congzhen nodded.
