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

"Hey, second, third, fourth, and fifth princes, what are you four doing sneaking around there? Can't you see your father is injured? Hurry up and go help him!" Empress Ma frowned and immediately gave orders to the group.

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhu Shuang and the other three instinctively straightened their backs and replied in unison, "We will obey Your Majesty's orders!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the group of people froze.

Wait, why do we call her Mother?

Who exactly is this woman?

While the group was still in a daze, Empress Ma had already begun directing everyone present to carry the injured Old Zhu into the room.

Seeing this, the four Zhu brothers quickly stepped forward to help, but their eyes kept turning to look at Empress Ma.

He was secretly wondering who this person was.

"Second brother, who exactly is she?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

"Fourth brother, what do you think?"

"I don't know either, I just feel like she's our mother?"

"Nonsense! Our mother is over forty years old, and this woman... this strong woman looks to be only seventeen or eighteen at most. How could she possibly be our mother?"

After they finished helping, the group hid in a corner and whispered among themselves, acting suspiciously.

Although Empress Ma noticed that her sons were behaving strangely today, frequently glancing at her.

Is there something on my face?

However, what she was most worried about now was Chongba's injury, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the others. Instead, she ordered someone to bring them a cup of tea.

Zhu Shuang and the other three had just taken their first sip of water.

At that moment, the Empress's personal maid, Yu'er, rushed into the room, followed by several white-bearded old men carrying medicine boxes.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have arrived!"

Upon hearing this, the four princes who were drinking water in the corner couldn't help but spit out their tea.

The several imperial physicians who rushed over were drenched in water!

The imperial physicians: "..."

Is this some new kind of show of force?

Or did the princes think they were too slow to arrive?

But this is already the fastest speed!

At this moment, the scene was completely silent!

The next second, Empress Ma suddenly roared in fury, "You four, get out of here!"

Zhu Shuang and his three companions were so frightened that they dared not utter a word and hurriedly fled outside in a panic.

After they left, Empress Ma quickly apologized to the imperial physicians on behalf of the four of them.

Hopefully they won't be angry and will hurry up and treat Chongba's injuries.

The imperial physicians wiped the tea off their faces, and although they were somewhat dissatisfied, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction.

Not only that, they also had to devote all their energy and medical skills to treating Old Zhu's injuries.

After all, this is no small matter; it concerns the lives of their entire family.

If anything were to happen to Zhu Yuanzhang, they could point at the princes' noses and hurl insults at them!

Since we're all doomed anyway, what's wrong with cursing a bit?

And on the other side,

After escaping the room, Zhu Shuang and the other three did not leave, but instead went to a corridor.

The group of lively characters huddled together again.

"You all heard that, didn't you? What did Yu'er just shout?"

"I was the closest at the time, and I heard it clearly with both ears. She just called out 'Your Majesty'!"

"In the entire palace, there seems to be only one person whom Yu'er can call 'Your Majesty'!"

"So, that woman really is our mother?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone froze on the spot, their faces filled with confusion.

No wonder they were so surprised.

The last time they saw Ma Xiuying was at the family dinner.

Empress Ma had not yet taken the elixir at that time.

For them, it was just a day apart.

Their mother transformed from a woman in her forties into a young, beautiful, and vibrant girl.

By the way, this girl also took down a wild boar with her bare hands, right in front of them.

What exactly happened yesterday?

Even if they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out the reason.

It was at this moment that

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly said to his brothers, "Just because we don't know doesn't mean Sixth Brother doesn't know!"

"That's right!" Zhu Shuang clenched his fist and slammed it against his palm, continuing the fourth prince's train of thought, "The sixth prince has always lived with Mother, so he must know why Mother has changed so much!"

Zhu Gang continued, "As long as we find Lao Liu and get the answers, we can solve all these mysteries!"

At this moment, the three of them were only one step away from the truth, and their expressions were filled with excitement.

As a result, Zhu Su's words poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.

"But have you seen Lao Liu? I haven't seen him since, I don't know where he went?"

The three, who had been so excited just moments before, were suddenly stunned and turned around to look around.

Yeah, where did Lao Liu go?

……

Meanwhile, after a series of imperial physicians took turns administering acupuncture and medicine to save Zhu Yuanzhang, he finally awoke from his coma.

However, he was too weak.

He could barely open his eyes, looking completely weak and listless.

Although I can't speak for the time being, my hearing is still fine.

At that moment, he heard his sister asking the imperial physician.

"Imperial Physician, how is Chongba's injury? Is his life in danger?"

The imperial physician bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, His Majesty's injuries are not serious and will not endanger his life!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say that he had woken up.

Suddenly, the imperial physician changed the subject, saying, "However, His Majesty's most serious injury is to his lower body; I'm afraid..."

One sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart jump into his throat, and his body tense up.

Empress Ma, unaware that Zhu Yuanzhang had already awakened, anxiously asked, "What are you afraid of? Imperial Physician, please speak freely without hesitation!"

The next second,

Zhu Yuanzhang then heard a sentence that made his soul tremble.

"They're probably burnt, hurry up and cut them up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still lying in bed and had difficulty even opening his eyes, suddenly sat up.

She grabbed the imperial physician's arm tightly, her face pale and her voice trembling.

"You can't cut it! You absolutely can't cut it! Imperial Physician, your medical skills are superb; there must be another way, right?"

"If you can cure it, you can have whatever you want!"

"But if you can't cure it!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted, his face turning fierce, though his tone was weak. "I'll exterminate your entire family, not just you, but even the ants in your house! I'll wipe them all out!"

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, his face deathly pale as he cried out.

"I'm innocent, Your Majesty! I didn't say those words!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been looking murderous, was taken aback upon hearing these words.

If you didn't say it, then who did?

"I said it!"

In the next room, little Zhu Ming was directing Mao Xiang to deal with the unconscious whole roasted pig.

Tell him to take a knife and cut the whole roasted pig open.

Just a few minutes ago,

While everyone was busy carrying the unconscious Zhu Yuanzhang into the room, worried about the emperor's injury.

Little Zhu Ming found Mao Xiang on his own, tugged at his sleeve, and asked him to do him a small favor.
