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

Chapter 45 Prince Han is Sick 5
However, although Zhu Zhanji was far away, Prince Zhao's ugly expression clearly showed that he was not going to let him go easily.

Prince Zhao arrived at Prince Han's bedside, lifted the curtains that separated the bed, and plopped down beside it, not caring at all about the deafening coughs and flying saliva. He inquired about his health, his meals, and his medicine, full of brotherly love.

Zhu Zhanji, who was standing by, was cooling off at the door for a while when he saw his third uncle Tongwandou opening the curtain in front of the bed and chatting with his second uncle inside. Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji was ready to go closer to take a closer look, so he shamelessly came to the window.

But when Prince Zhao of Bronze Pea saw Zhu Zhanji coming, he immediately started his artillery attack. He did not tolerate Zhu Zhanji at all and started to confront him directly.

"What do you mean? The prince asked you to come and see if his brother is dead or not!"

"Brothers have a bad relationship. We should just see each other less often. Why force people to this point? My second brother is almost driven to death."

"You're secretly complaining to the old man and trying to force him to leave, right? He's worried about us not being dead, right?"

"The war is over, so we are no longer needed, right?"

"Are you trying to kill me by forcing me here?"

……

It has to be said that Zhu Zhanhe had never realized before that his third uncle was such a sharp-tongued and vicious person.

In addition, his father, Prince Han, would be sarcastic from time to time and add fuel to the fire.

"Third brother, stop talking nonsense. How can I live my life in the future if you say that? Aren't you forcing me to die?" Prince Han's mouth is not simple either. He and Prince Zhao cooperate very well with each other!
The future Crown Prince rolled his eyes at the criticism, but he dared not disobey or lose his temper. He could only bend his back and endure it silently.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhu Zhanhe felt very happy. He felt that the air in the room was not so hot anymore, but very warm!

Until the end, it was the third uncle, Prince Zhao, who ended the headache-inducing conversation. He directly used the excuse of taking Prince Han to the hot springs for treatment, put a thick mink coat on Prince Han, and then hobbled away with the support of two young eunuchs.

"He'er, I'm taking your father to get treatment. You stay at home and take good care of the family. Don't run around." Uncle Tongwandou turned back and greeted Zhu Zhanhe before leaving.

Then Tongwandou didn't even look at Zhu Zhanhe when he answered no, and he didn't even look at Zhu Zhanji who was standing beside him, and just walked away casually.

Only the brothers Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Zhanji were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Brother, this is the situation. You have seen it. Just say whatever you want to say when you go back." Looking at his father and third uncle who had already left, Zhu Zhanhe shook his head helplessly, came to Zhu Zhanji, and said softly.

"Don't worry, I know what to say, but I haven't done my grandfather's job yet." Zhu Zhanji scratched his head, looking conflicted.

"Don't worry, big brother. My third uncle just said that I will go to the Ministry of War to hand over my father's job after he recovers. I will then persuade him to go to the fiefdom." Zhu Zhanhe also saw the dilemma of his adopted elder brother, so he decided to delay it and wait until his father finished the rebellion before dealing with it himself.

Zhu Zhanji was also surprised after hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said. At least with his brother's words, he could give an explanation to his grandfather when he returned and avoid being scolded!
Zhu Zhanji also knew that his cousin was a staunch supporter of becoming a vassal, thinking about it every day. The only person in his family who was unwilling to do so was his second uncle! "Well, I'll go back first and tell Grandpa about the situation here." After Zhu Zhanji got some information, he was ready to leave. After all, there was no information to be gained now, as the main characters had all run away.

Zhu Zhanhe accompanied Zhu Zhanji out.

"Brother, remember what I told you and tell your uncle." Before leaving, Zhu Zhanhe reminded Zhu Zhanji not to forget to convey to the prince what he said when he entered the door.

"I won't forget. I didn't go to pay my respects to my aunt today. Please kowtow to her for me. I'll go back first." Zhu Zhanji left in a hurry, as if someone was chasing him away.

After returning to the prince's mansion, Zhu Zhanji found his father, the chubby prince. After telling him everything he had discovered in the Han Palace, his father Zhu Pangpang acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He was not worried at all and continued to dance with the sword in his hand in an awkward manner, as awkward as a fat pig dancing in Swan Lake. Moreover, the fat prince was not worried about the current situation at all. He said bluntly that there were tall people to hold up the sky if it fell.

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe looked at his fat father speechlessly, and then said what his cousin Zhu Zhanhe wanted to convey.

The prince, who was originally playing with the sword, put down the sword after hearing what Zhu Zhanhe wanted to convey.

"He's not even as good as a child. He's such a worry." The fat prince put down the sword in his hand, came to the stone table beside him and sat down, saying softly.

"Dad, what did you say?" Zhu Zhanji looked bewildered. He had no idea what his father was talking about. Wasn't the message his cousin wanted him to convey very simple? It couldn't be that complicated, right?

"He'er is a good boy, much more obedient than you! He studies and practices martial arts, has a handsome figure, is obedient and well-behaved, and is also proficient in history books. The only troublesome person in this family is your second uncle, who is even worse than a child." The prince complained angrily about his troublesome second brother, and by the way, he also lectured his son.

"Dad, you can't do this. Just talk about my second uncle. Why do you involve me now?" Zhu Zhanji was speechless. Why did he get involved again?

"Forget it. If you feel a chill on the back of your neck, you can figure it out yourself. I can't help you. I still need to lose weight and practice sword skills." After the prince finished speaking, he waved his hand, picked up the sword beside him again, stood up slowly, and began to dance with the sword with his round body.

……

Meanwhile, the Han Palace was in a state of panic, with everyone extremely nervous. The Grand Steward had issued an order that everyone must go to bed early tonight and not go out. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed!

So the Prince of Han’s Mansion was particularly quiet today.

In the lobby of the Prince of Han's Mansion, Princess Wei and Zhu Zhanhe were sitting in the middle, and in the lower hall was Liu Erniu, who was dressed in armor. At this moment, he was standing respectfully in the main hall, waiting for the order from the prince.

"Liu Erniu" Zhu Zhanhe's voice was full of majesty, and everyone present couldn't help but tense up when they heard it.

"Your Excellency is here." Liu Erniu simply clasped his hands together and knelt on one leg, not caring about the words that he couldn't salute while wearing armor.

"Tonight, all the people in the palace are handed over to you. Please make all the arrangements. There is no need for me to wear armor as well, right?" Zhu Zhanhe saw that the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn, so he was going to ease it. However, his words "I will also wear armor" made Liu Erniu panic.

"Don't worry, my lord! As long as I'm still here, I will absolutely protect the princess and you!" Liu Erniu shouted loudly, as if he were swearing an oath to the gods. The saying goes, "If the master humiliates the minister, the minister will die!"
