Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 29 Dad, you are not Emperor Taizong of Tang, and grandpa is not Emperor Gaozu of Tang.

As dawn approached, Zhu Zhanhe and his mother had been waiting in the hall for almost the entire night when the eunuch suddenly came to report that Prince Han had been sent back by the palace. Upon hearing that Prince Han had returned, Zhu Zhanhe and his mother quickly stood up to greet him.

At this time, Prince Han no longer had the energy and spirit he had when he set out. He was being supported by several young eunuchs as he came back. His face was dull and terrified, and he was completely distraught.

"Dad, are you okay?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at his father who looked like he had lost his soul. He probably guessed that Prince Han was probably bullied or frightened in the palace, so he hurried over to support him.

"Your Highness!" Seeing her husband in a state of having lost his soul, Princess Wei of Han was panicked and distressed. She paused, then trotted over in two steps. She grabbed her husband's hand, staring at the Prince of Han with her eyes wide open, tears almost coming out.

"Princess, Sir, the Crown Prince has fainted, and the chief steward has personally sent him back to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Prince Han is a little frightened, and the Emperor has asked us to send him back!" The leading eunuch was a stranger, and Zhu Zhanhe had never seen him before, but he spoke very respectfully, with a smile on his face, his waist bent, his head lowered, and he was very docile.

At this time, Princess Han was at a loss looking at her dazed husband.

Seeing that his mother was already at a loss and kept calling for his father, Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly went to greet the eunuchs.

"Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. May I know his name?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the young eunuch in front of him, let go of his father's hand, and quickly walked to the young eunuch with a respectful face and lowered head. He helped him up kindly, held his hand, was very enthusiastic, and stuffed a few golden beans into his hand.

The young eunuch looked at the tower-like figure in front of him, who was the enthusiastic Prince of Han, with a look of astonishment. Suddenly, he felt something unusual in the hand that was being held by Prince of Han. After Prince of Han let go of his hand, he immediately held the hand and took a few steps back.

"Your Highness, we are humble people. Please don't worry about our humble names. We will take our leave now." After the young eunuch saluted Zhu Zhanhe, his eyes flickered back and forth on Zhu Zhanhe for a few times, and he stood up and walked out the door. Zhu Zhanhe understood what he meant and followed him quickly.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor summoned the Crown Prince at midnight today, and the Crown Prince came to the Emperor to refuse the position of Crown Prince. The Emperor was very angry. Then Prince Han jumped out and tried to snatch it away, but was scolded by the Emperor. The Emperor even forced the Crown Prince to draw his sword!" The young eunuch was leaving with a group of young eunuchs. He suddenly took a few steps back at a corner, glanced at the surrounding environment, and suddenly lowered his head and spoke to Zhu Zhanhe in a flattering and submissive voice. After that, he did not wait for Zhu Zhanhe to answer, and left with a group of young eunuchs without looking back.

Watching the eunuch walk away, Zhu Zhanhe knew the golden beans he had gifted had worked; otherwise, he wouldn't have said so much to him. He shook his head, no longer entertaining wild speculation, and walked straight into the house, intending to take another look at his father, Prince Han.

After leaving the house, the young eunuch raised his hand and looked at the golden beans in his hand with a look of joy on his face.

"My little ones, I will treat you to a drink when we get home today. The Prince of Han is very generous and gave you two golden beans. We all came out together, so I can't keep them all by myself." The young eunuch quietly hid the two golden beans without leaving any trace. He showed the remaining two golden beans to everyone, which immediately made the young eunuchs happy and their steps became lighter.

Meanwhile, in the Han Palace, our Prince Han finally recovered after returning home and being carefully cared for and taken care of by the Princess. However, he still lay on the soft couch at home with a tired look, his face full of melancholy and worry.

"Son, the boss must have tricked me. Your grandfather came to see him today and thought he had made great contributions to the country! He wanted to reward him with a request.

He actually went to your grandfather again and said he wanted to decline the position of Crown Prince, but that was completely a trick, a trap. He framed me! He framed me!

He was so angry that your grandfather wanted to kill me! Your grandfather wanted him to chop me with a sword!
Your grandfather brought a sword and asked the boss to kill me.

Your grandfather actually handed the hilt of the sword to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother actually took the sword from your grandfather's hand! Then your grandfather directly pulled out the scabbard, revealing his Yongle Sword!
He really wants the boss to kill me!

This is the boss, he is trying to trick me." At this time, Prince Han Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of fear. He kept talking about what happened in the palace back and forth. The more he talked, the angrier and more frightened he became.

Finally, Prince Han stood up from the couch, walked in front of his son and spoke loudly.

Looking at Prince Han who was nearly collapsed and whose face became increasingly ferocious, and hearing Prince Han calling him "boss" all the time, Zhu Zhanhe knew that his father was very angry at the moment. Suddenly, he had a bad premonition looking at his father.

Princess Wei of Han also heard what her husband said. Her face turned pale and she tightly grasped the arm of the Prince of Han with both hands.

"Your Highness, everything is over. I just hope you come back safely and that our family is doing well! Let's go back to our fiefdom. We will leave right away! I don't want anything, I just hope that our family is doing well." Princess Han was also a little panicked at this time. She didn't expect it to be so dangerous.

She had been in charge of the palace for many years and had been married to Prince Han for many years. She knew Prince Han very well. She also vaguely guessed that her husband would probably go to extremes after what he had experienced today! Her face was full of tension and fear, and she looked at her husband pleadingly while speaking.

When Prince Han heard what his wife said, his expression froze for a moment, but soon changed to a firm look. He reached out and held the hand of Princess Wei of Han, clapping her hands gently to comfort her, without responding to his wife's words.

"Dad, what do you think?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at his father comforting his mother with some hesitation. He had already guessed what Prince Han was thinking, so he asked cautiously.

"He'er, the eldest brother is acting so hypocritically and trying to curry favor with the emperor. He's holding the painting the emperor gave him and saying that only parents and children can be clear-minded, and they look back at every step they take!

I think he is just being attentive and has bad intentions. He wants to deliberately harm me!
Son, what do you think I will do?!" Although Prince Han's face was full of madness, he was still somewhat rational. He knew that there were some things he couldn't say, but his eyes had already told Zhu Zhanhe his determination.

"Dad, I just want to say one thing, you are not Emperor Taizong of Tang, and grandpa is not Emperor Gaozu of Tang. Our entire family is in your hands, so you have to think twice before you do anything." Zhu Zhanhe didn't know if there were any of his grandfather's Jinyiwei spies in the dark, so he just said it in a very secretive manner.

But his words also clearly told his father that even if you want to rebel, you probably don't have the strength to do so!
After hearing what his son said, Prince Han's face suddenly changed. He nodded silently and said no more.

After a long time.

"Go back and rest, it's almost dawn," Prince Han murmured at last, then turned and left. Princess Wei of Han glanced at her son and quickly followed her husband's pace.
