Chapter 28

Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Guo Hui stayed in Huang Xiongying's small courtyard until evening and left after dinner.

before leaving.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Huang Xiongying: "Xiongying, you can't do without a helper here, so let's let the two Guo brothers follow you in the future. They are people that grandpa can trust. If you want to find us, just tell them two."

"This……"

Huang Xiongying didn't know how to answer.

To be honest, I am really short of manpower now, especially trustworthy people.

But he was embarrassed.

Because he doesn't know if the Guo brothers are willing to follow him, after all, he is nothing now.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Guo brothers were so excited that their eyes were red, and they bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Thank you, my lord!"

The two of them are not stupid.

How can you not see the identity of the young man in front of you?

This young man is very likely to become the future prince of Ming Dynasty, or even the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Now the old emperor let the two brothers follow him, this is a great trust and favor.

Want to know who is the most popular with the emperor?

That is the person who was by his side in his infancy.

Just like the 24 generals in Huaixi, why are almost all of them worshiping officials and being knighted, so they are so beautiful?That's not because the old emperor was excluded back then, and when he left the Haozhou Red Scarf Army, they followed him!

The current self is such an opportunity, how can they not be excited?
"Okay, let's go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Huang Xiongying on the shoulder, and took Concubine Guo Hui out...

"you……"

In the courtyard, Huang Xiongying pointed to the two of them, but still didn't know what to call them.

"Master, you can call me Da Guo, this is Xiao Guo!"

"Young master, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell the two of us to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, and we will not hesitate!"

The two Guo brothers replied respectfully.

The attitude of the two made Huang Xiongying very satisfied.

Since the old man said he was a trustworthy person, he would no longer doubt it.

"Big Guo and Xiao Guo, right? There's no need to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire. If you follow us from now on, you won't be treated badly!"

After hearing Huang Xiongying's words, the Guo brothers burst out laughing...

……

When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, he immediately found Yang Jing.

"Yang Shangshu, how is Zhou Ji?"

Yang Jing also didn't expect the Holy Majesty to be so concerned about this matter, and quickly replied respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, he is being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked, "Did no one see him?"

"No."

Yang Jing quickly shook his head and said: "In the afternoon, Jiang Xiahou did come, but the minister stopped him."

"very good."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

This made Yang Jing secretly heave a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had done the right thing.

I just heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue: "You don't have to deal with this matter, just hand over the person to Jiang Yu, and let Jiang Yu handle it."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Yang Jing hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, but he was terrified in his heart.

Let Jiang Yu take over?
That's really unusual, you must know that the cases handled by Jin Yiwei are all serious and important cases, from Li Shanchang to Hu Weiyong, they are all handled by Jin Yiwei.

And this time, the Commander of Jin Yiwei personally handles the case!
How similar to the previous two.

Could it be that……

Yang Jing didn't dare to think about it any longer, so he hurriedly resigned.

Yang Jing, who exited the hall, seemed to be wet with sweat on his back.

He couldn't figure out what serious crime Zhou Ji had committed?
Is it just because of that boy?

Yang Jing couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to think any more, because there are some things, it's better not to understand than to understand...

……

East Palace, in the garden.

A black shadow appeared in front of Lu Shi.

"Your Majesty, this was brought to you by Jiang Xiahou's entrusted servant!"

With that said, Sombra handed over an envelope.

"Eunuch Lao An is here."

Lu Shi said a word, then opened the envelope, and after looking at it twice, his expression changed drastically.

"What happened to Zhou Ji?"

Eunuch An bowed his body and replied in a low voice: "Jiang Xiahou wanted to visit in the afternoon, but was blocked, so I asked my servant to send you a letter to see if you can mediate."

Mrs. Lu nodded, gave Mr. An a handful of money, and asked, "Then how is he doing now?"

Mr. An said: "No matter how specific things are, the slaves don't know."

Mrs. Lu nodded slowly, but her brows became more and more wrinkled. She suddenly thought of something, and gave Mr. An another handful of money, and asked, "Mr. An, has your Majesty been going anywhere recently?"

Eunuch An thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty has indeed been out of the palace quite often recently, and today he took Concubine Guo Hui out, but the slaves didn't dare to ask too many questions about where."

Mrs. Lu nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Eunuch Lao An is here, you go first."

Eunuch An bowed to leave and disappeared into the darkness...

Back in the room, Mrs. Lu kept her brows tightly locked.

Your Majesty is always going out recently, where exactly will he go?Should we still go to the small courtyard by the Qinhuai River?Who actually lived there?

His Majesty even took Concubine Guo Hui there?
In the letter, Jiang Xiahou also failed to explain what mistake Zhou Ji made. Could it be related to that small courtyard?
There are countless questions circling in Lu's mind.

But she knew that the most urgent task was to get Zhou Ji out.

Jiang Xiahou couldn't find any news, it seems that the matter is serious!
Zhou Ji and her are relatives by marriage, that is, a cousin in her family, who married Zhou Ji.

She wanted to rely on the Zhou family to support her son to the throne, so why didn't the Zhou family want to use her son to continue his Zhou family's wealth?

In short, the two sides didn't say it clearly, but secretly they belonged to the same boat.

So this time, Jiang Xiahou came to find her...

With this in mind, Mrs. Lu immediately ordered: "Come here, prepare a bowl of hot noodle soup for this palace."

"The slaves obey!"

The maid outside the door came in to take orders and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Lu again.

"and many more……"

"There's no need to cook the noodles, prepare a cup of warm honey water, remember, don't let it cool down!"

"Yes!"

The maid backed away without a sound...

……

After a moment.

Mrs. Lu took off her makeup, put on a plain cloth, and straightened her collar and hair in front of the bronze mirror.

Only then did he turn around and take the food box with honey in the hand of the maid.

Before going out, Mrs. Lu stopped and said: "Just keep a few people, don't follow."

The palace people quickly retreated.

Having been the old emperor's daughter-in-law for so many years, she naturally knows what the old emperor likes.

The daughter-in-law that the old emperor likes is dignified and generous, well-behaved, and the most important thing is to be simple and not show off.

All this is because of a woman, a woman who has passed away.

Although that woman was a queen during her lifetime, she was industrious and thrifty in managing the family, and set an example. The clothes she usually wears, after washing and washing, are already worn out, and she does not want to replace them with new ones. She also personally asked questions, meticulous.If the palace man is fortunate enough to be pregnant, he will be more considerate, if the concubine is disobedient, he will try to mediate...

She is the best woman in the eyes of the old emperor, and her name is Queen Ma.

Therefore, when the old emperor chose his son's wife, he always chose the Queen Ma with reference to this.

Back then, the Lu family was keenly aware of this point. After the old crown princess left, she was cautious in her words and deeds, and did what she liked, so she was established as the main palace by the old emperor.

Come to Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who stood waiting outside the palace, was a close eunuch, and Eunuch An hurried up to meet him in a small step.

"Slaves see the Crown Princess!"

"Eunuch An, get rid of the ceremony!"

Mrs. Lu said with a kind smile on her face: "Please let me know, the Crown Princess, please see me!"

Eunuch An's face showed embarrassment, he gave Lu Shi a wink, and said: "I'm afraid it's not the right time for your majesty to come, Mrs. Jiang Yu Jiang is waiting inside!"

Jiang Yu?

Lu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this...
