The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

"Ming'er, can you show your father again how you transformed just now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

He wanted to see how Zhu Ming had managed to do it.

Maybe he, as the father, can learn it too.

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Ming shook his head upon hearing this, saying with a regretful expression, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Father."

"My master said that this supernatural power is too strong and violates the laws of nature. It can only be used twice in a lifetime, and I have already used it all up."

Goodness, if this gets back to the neighbors...

If Gu Santong heard this, he would have to exclaim: You're even more ruthless than me!

Back then, when he was lying, he only dared to say that the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill could only be used five times in a lifetime, and even that fooled Shenhou to no end!

But once it reached Zhu Ming's mouth, it instantly became half gone.

"What? You've already used it all up?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stomped his feet in anger, looking heartbroken. "Oh, you spendthrift son! Such a powerful supernatural ability only has two chances in a lifetime, and you've used them both! What am I supposed to say to you?!"

Zhu Ming seemed startled by Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand and quickly ran behind Empress Ma, clutching her skirt tightly with his two little hands and peeking out half his head timidly at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing this, Empress Ma immediately switched to her protective mode, retorting to Emperor Zhu, "Ming'er is only six years old this year, at an age when he's just starting to play. How could he understand how precious this opportunity is?"

"Besides, this is a supernatural power bestowed upon Ming'er by his master. Ming'er can use it whenever he wants. It's not yours, so why are you so worried about it!"

"If you're so capable, why don't you go and find a deity to be your master!"

This statement is well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

He immediately silenced Zhu Yuanzhang.

The problem was that he couldn't refute it, so he could only mutter something under his breath with a sullen expression.

"A doting mother often spoils her son; you're a spendthrift woman too!"

"What did you say?"

Empress Ma's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, which immediately startled Zhu Yuanzhang, who quickly waved his hand.

"Ahem, what I mean is you're right, tomorrow it's his own stuff, he can use it however he wants!"

Empress Ma nodded in satisfaction, then turned around, reached out and ruffled Zhu Ming's hair, gently comforting the little guy.

As Zhu Yuanzhang watched the mother and daughter's figures, a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

Just now, despite his feigned grief, he was actually secretly relieved.

His words were meant to test Zhu Ming.

If that unique supernatural power called "Law of Heaven and Earth" could be used at will without any restrictions.

He would not feel happy, but rather afraid, and even unable to eat or sleep.

This is not out of jealousy!

As a father, Old Zhu naturally hopes that all his children will be outstanding and become successful in the future.

However, as the emperor, he also had concerns that if his son was too capable, it would inevitably shake his imperial power.

For example, the terrifying power of Zhu Ming, who could transform into an 80-meter-tall giant and intimidate the entire capital, was far more chilling than having a million soldiers at his disposal.

After all, no matter how many troops the latter had, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't be afraid. They had fought before, and in the end, he still won.

But how can you fight an 80-meter-tall giant?

Should we rush up and tickle his toes?

Stop making your brother Ming laugh.

Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even a million elite soldiers are all no match for you, Brother Ming.

But Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and felt a little regretful. Such a precious opportunity should not be wasted here.

Instead, it should be used to conquer the Northern Yuan.

Let those Northern Yuan people truly experience the fear of being dominated by giants!

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling regretful, he inadvertently glanced at Eunuch Cao and the others kneeling on the ground, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

These people know too many secrets; they absolutely cannot be allowed to live!

So, Zhu Yuanzhang subtly gave Mao Xiang a meaningful look.

Mao Xiang immediately understood, bowed to the emperor, and then quietly walked out of the courtyard.

Although this scene occurred very discreetly, it was still witnessed by Empress Ma.

She only needed a moment's thought to guess her husband's intention: he was worried that the news would get out, so he planned to silence her.

If it were any other situation, Empress Ma would definitely have advised Emperor Zhu against killing people indiscriminately, for Heaven cherishes life!

But this matter concerned the safety of her young son.

Even though Empress Ma did good deeds her whole life, for the safety of Zhu Ming, she was willing to put aside her kindness, pick up the butcher's knife, and become a ruthless person!

However, besides Empress Ma, there was another person present who saw through Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement.

That's our clever and intelligent Sister Miaoyun!

"We're doomed! We're definitely going to die!"

Xu Miaoyun collapsed to the ground, inwardly berating herself.

"Xu Miaoyun, Xu Miaoyun, someone calls you a little Zhuge Liang, and you actually take it seriously!"

"Don't you know what 'curiosity killed the cat' means? You were curious, and now look what happened—you've gotten yourself into trouble!"

Xu Miaoyun was very clever; she didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang would give her any special treatment just because she was Xu Da's daughter.

Zhu Ming's abilities are simply too extraordinary.

Anyone who knows this secret will not survive!

Xu Miaoyun now had only one wish—please, please, please don't let her father, Xu Da, know what happened today.

She knew her father all too well; he was a man of many military careers, with a strong and unyielding nature, yet he doted on her dearly.

If her father knew that she was in a deadly predicament and had been silenced by the emperor, she would be in grave danger.

Given her father's temperament, he would surely be heartbroken and would stop at nothing to seek justice for her.

But if the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die.

Because of a momentary argument, he angered the emperor and ultimately implicated his entire family.

This is something Xu Miaoyun absolutely does not want to see.

Upon thinking of this,

Xu Miaoyun immediately prepared to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

The next second...

"Sister Miaoyun, why are you still sitting on the ground? Did I scare you so much that you wet your pants?!"

A clear, childlike voice suddenly rang in her ears, interrupting Xu Miaoyun's suicidal thoughts.

Xu Miaoyun slowly opened her eyes, looking at Zhu Ming, who was standing prettily in front of her, with a complicated expression.

It can be said that her current predicament is due to...

It's all the fault of the Ming Dynasty.

However, she never harbored any resentment towards Zhu Ming from beginning to end.

"Mingdi, come let your sister give you a hug!"

Xu Miaoyun opened her arms, wanting to hug the little one in front of her one last time before she died.

Zhu Ming was a little confused, but he still obediently stepped forward and was held tightly in Xu Miaoyun's arms.

"Sister Miaoyun, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. After your sister is gone, you must take good care of yourself!"

Xu Miaoyun was unwilling to tell Zhu Ming the truth.

If the little guy knew that I died because of him, how heartbroken he would be!

It was at this moment that

Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps came from outside the door.

Shortly after, Mao Xiang led hundreds of imperial guards, clad in armor and exuding a murderous aura, into the courtyard. They quickly dispersed and surrounded the area.

Zhu Ming is such a smart little guy!

Seeing that the Imperial Guards had surrounded the place, and recalling Sister Miaoyun's unusually insistent instructions, he instantly understood the reason.

He immediately roared at the crowd.

"Stop it, all of you!"
