Upon hearing this,

Zhu Xiong Ying narrowed his eyes, exuding a murderous aura.

He was the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the eldest son of the Crown Prince.

Grandfather Zhu Chongba, grandmother Empress Ma, maternal grandfather Chang Yuchun, father Crown Prince Zhu Biao...

How dare someone with no sense of propriety block the way here?

As for the Crown Princess Lü, what does she amount to?

Is it because of his noble status?

For so many years, he has been able to roam freely within the palace, and there is no place he cannot go!

Before Zhu Xiong Ying could get angry.

Lai Fu, who was traveling with them, couldn't hold back any longer. His chubby face was full of anger as he stepped forward and shouted, "Insolence!"

"How dare you, a mere servant, use the rules governing the Crown Princess to prevent His Highness the Eldest Grandson from seeing the Crown Prince?"

Not to be outdone, Lai Shun tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, snorted through his nose, and added, "Exactly!"

"How can we obstruct His Highness the Crown Prince from seeing his biological father?"

"Furthermore, not only can His Highness freely enter and leave the Eastern Palace, but he can also freely enter and leave the Empress's palace!"

"Are you making a mountain out of a molehill? Do you think the Crown Princess's rules are greater than the Empress's? Greater than the Emperor's?"

Lai Shun and Lai Fu, who are always by my side, have never won a fight, but they have never lost an argument!

Put a big hat on.

The young eunuchs guarding the area were already trembling with fear.

Sanbao had been in the palace for a few months, and although he was somewhat timid, he was quite knowledgeable.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating and causing too much of a commotion, which would be detrimental to the eldest grandson of the emperor.

He hurriedly said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and inform the Crown Princess, tell her..."

To everyone's surprise, this horse-faced eunuch was a simpleton, completely oblivious to Sanbao's hint, and braced himself for a moment before asking, "Is it the Crown Princess...?"

Before the man could finish speaking...

clap clap!

Adhering to the principle of "if you can take action, don't talk," Zhu Xiong Ying took three steps at a time and slapped the man several times in quick succession.

His grip strength was already quite considerable.

Last time, I beat Zhu Gui so badly he turned into a pig's head.

This time, they showed no mercy!

They beat the leading official until his nose bled and his cheeks were red and swollen before they stopped.

Seeing the rest of the crowd standing there, stunned.

Zhu Xiong Ying rubbed his wrist and sneered, "You blind fools, how dare you block my way!"

"Let's all come at once! Let's loosen up our muscles!"

After speaking, he took the initiative and kicked the eunuch on his left to the ground.

He hit his head on the steps, and blood instantly flowed from his head.

Another kick swept across another person's waist, causing him to tremble in pain.

Seeing that the eldest grandson of the emperor had already taken action, the personal eunuchs Sanbao, Laishun, and Laifu stepped forward to assist.

The guards stationed on the perimeter stood still after seeing the emperor's grandson, not daring to get involved.

It only took a dozen or so breaths.

Outside the Chunhe Palace, wails of agony filled the air!

One of them, who was further away, ignored the blood all over his face and crawled and rolled towards the palace gate, shouting repeatedly, "Quick! Tell the Crown Princess..."

Just as Zhu Xiong Ying, along with San Bao and others, were following closely behind, they had not yet stepped inside.

A series of footsteps echoed from inside the hall.

Soon after, the Crown Princess Lü, dressed in a dark blue embroidered dress with subtle patterns, walked over quickly, holding a plain silk handkerchief in her hand.

Behind him followed his personal maid and several eunuchs, all of whom looked flustered.

As she looked toward Zhu Xiong Ying, Lady Lü glanced at the eunuchs on the ground.

She first showed concern, then stepped closer to examine him and asked, "Where is the eldest grandson of the emperor injured?"

Zhu Xiong Ying shook her head and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm not injured!"

"But since when did it start that we're being stopped outside when we come to see Father..."

The fact that the servants were beaten up just now was a slap in the face to Lady Lü!

There was no need to worry about Empress Wu Ma and others being in front of them.

He decided to be straightforward and make the matter clear, then quietly watched Ms. Lü's performance.

At the same time, tell the stepmother to recognize her own position.

Even the Crown Prince's palace is not a place where she alone has the final say!

as predicted.

Upon hearing this, Lady Lü immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at the palace servants on the ground, scolding them, "Are you all blind?!"

"Who is the Crown Prince's eldest grandson? Does he think he can stop you? I ordered you to guard outside the palace and prevent any unauthorized personnel from disturbing His Highness's rest. Who gave you permission to stop the Crown Prince's eldest grandson?"

The Crown Princess's words were like a signal.

All the eunuchs hurriedly bowed deeply, saying, "We deserve to die! We were blind! We beg Your Highness the Crown Prince's forgiveness!"

Upon seeing this.

Zhu Xiong Ying disdained to look at them, her tone neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, "These people are all my people; how to discipline them should be decided by you!"

"But let me add something: all the rules in the palace were originally established by the Emperor, and they should all be followed in accordance with the royal system."

"If someone dares to confuse hierarchy and sever ties with family members based on just a few words, and even goes so far as to cause trouble for the Emperor and Empress Dowager, they will be branded as a villain who sows discord between father and son and violates moral principles. At that point, no one can cover it up!"

"And since the concubine is in charge of the household affairs of the Eastern Palace and manages all the servants, she naturally understands this principle, so we won't elaborate..."

These words struck at exactly what the Lü family feared most.

Amidst her turbulent emotions, she replied, "The Crown Prince's words are reasonable! I will certainly rectify the situation properly and prevent them from violating the established etiquette!"

These are my words.

Zhu Xiong Ying listened but didn't take it seriously at all.

Whether Lady Lü acted arbitrarily after becoming the mistress of the Eastern Palace, replaced all her own people, or was hypocritical, I know best!

The previous discussion, while containing warnings, also reminded her not to forget where she was.

In the imperial city, Empress Ma was the most powerful, followed by Emperor Zhu, then Biao'er's father and him.

As for her, the Crown Princess, she doesn't even rank high!

"Oh, may I ask, Aunt, is Father ill?"

Seeing the grandson of the emperor go inside, he inquired about the crown prince.

Lady Lü snapped out of her reverie, concealed her thoughts, and sighed, "These past two months, the Crown Prince has been working day and night to wrap up the grain theft case, as well as the smallpox vaccination and new tax policies. He hasn't slept well for several days in a row."

"This morning after the court session, my headache flared up again, and I fainted. Afraid of worrying my father and mother, the Crown Prince didn't inform anyone and returned home to rest. I've only been asleep for less than half an hour..."

But I heard about Biao'er's father's recent situation.

All the speculations were not confirmed.

Zhu Xiong Ying was worried, but she didn't show it on her face.

After entering the bedroom, through the curtain, I saw Biao'er's father lying on the bed.

Not seeing the imperial physician, and seemingly knowing the grandson would ask, Lady Lü's eyes reddened again as she whispered, "The eldest grandson doesn't know. The Crown Prince specifically instructed him that he just needs some rest. If an imperial physician were found, the inner court would already know!"

Seeing the appearance of Lady Lü.

Zhu Xiong Ying didn't know what to say.

Biao'er's father is sick now, which is a big deal.

How could we just stand by and do nothing, instead of seeking medical help from the imperial physician, and wait here idly?

In history, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died from overwork and neglect of his health.

Over the years, although he has been vigilant and has provided early care and treatment, he has been cautious.

However, the cheapskate father is completely oblivious!

Zhu Xiong Ying hesitated for a moment, then turned to the side and said, "Auntie, Father's health is the most important! Let's find the imperial physician to diagnose him first. If Father asks, just say it was my decision..."
