Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 21 Meeting 021
Soon, what happened in Taisun Hall spread to the inner garden.

".One governs people! One governs the country! Is that really what your majesty said!?"

Hearing the palace maid's return, the crown prince's concubine Lu couldn't help but be filled with surprise.

This was the best news she had heard since entering the palace.

It marks that she is about to advance to the center of imperial power!
It also marked that her years of hard work had finally reached the stage of harvesting the fruits.

Seeing her so happy, the palace maid who came to report confirmed again: "Yes! Princess! Many people present heard it! And everyone also said that Zhu Congxin only likes to delve into some strange skills and obscenities. Qiao, you are not the material to govern the country at all!"

She didn't say it clearly, but Lu already understood what she was implying.

"Hmph! Of course he is not good at running a country! How can a mere second son of King Qin compare with my Yunwen?"

She snorted coldly and said with contempt.

But then, he turned to the palace maid again and said calmly: "You did a good job. Go back and collect 100 taels of silver from the account. In addition, I have a good appetite now and want to eat something special. Please help me bring Su Jianyi from the imperial kitchen."

The palace maid didn't think much about it.

As soon as he heard that he had received the money, he was overjoyed and left the inner garden with a lot of thanks.

On the other hand, after sending Zhu Yuanzhang away, Zhu Congxin finally met Su Jianyi again, whom he had not seen for a long time.

At this moment, Su Jianyi had been waiting outside the hospital for nearly an hour because of the guards' obstruction.

He still didn't know that the little emperor's grandson in front of him was the one who teased him in the first place.

Seeing Zhu Congxin strolling over, he looked at it without any scruples.

【interesting. 】

[A child less than two years old can actually have such a calm and steady temperament. 】

[It seems that what Zhang Xiulan said is true.This kid is indeed a genius that is rare to see in a century! 】

[It’s a pity that the princes, generals and ministers all have certain numbers. 】

[Although this son is from the royal family, he is not the eldest son and direct grandson. He will definitely not achieve anything in this life. 】

While looking at it, he did not forget to comment secretly.

This is undoubtedly very rude.

However, facing his scrutinizing gaze, Zhu Congxin didn't seem to have much dissatisfaction on his face.

"Do you know why I came to you today?"

He led her to a remote pavilion and asked straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhang didn't say this clearly, so I don't know about it. Please let me know."

Seeing him being so direct, Su Jianyi didn't have the slightest intention of being conciliatory. He immediately flashed his eyebrows and said with a look that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Unfortunately, his indifference did not last long.

Because soon, Zhu Congxin's words directly broke through his nerves, causing him to fall into a long-lost fear again.

"It's very simple! I want you to help me save my heroic cousin."

"If he survives, you can continue to live."

"And if he dies, I will let you, and the woman behind you, be buried with him."

Zhu Congxin said so.

As he spoke, he jumped onto the stone bench next to him, showing a creepy smile.

And the more calm and gentle he was, the more Su Jianyi couldn't help but tremble wildly in his heart!

【It's him! ! ! 】

[The person following me that night was his! 】

He shouted silently and staggered back a small step.

In order to stand firm, he even had to hold on to the stone pillar next to him.It wasn't until a long time later that he finally calmed down, gritted his teeth and raised his head again, and looked at the child in front of him again.

"My little grandson, can I ask you what your final request is?"

This is important to him.

Because at this moment, he has become the fish on the opponent's chopping board.

If he wants to survive, he must obey the other party's will and work hard not to move to a position opposite to him.

But the problem is that Zhu Xiongying is already terminally ill!
Even if he had the antidote in hand, how could he possibly continue to linger?

"Do whatever I tell you to do."

"Why so many questions?"

"Do you still think you can escape from my grasp?"

But unfortunately, after Zhu Congxin smiled coldly, he didn't seem to have any intention of explaining.

And this completely pushed him into the corner.

"Xia Guan didn't mean that."

"I just feel that the death of the Emperor's Grandson will not have any negative impact on His Highness, so I want to find out what His Highness wants, and then try to use other methods to achieve His Highness's moral goals!"

"After all, as of today, the emperor's grandson can actually be said to have run out of gas."

"Facing a half-dead person, even if Xiaguan has the elixir in his hand, there is probably no chance of recovery."

He quickly gritted his teeth and explained.

While explaining, he secretly observed Zhu Congxin's expression, as if trying to discern some clues from his face.

"You mean you can no longer save cousin Xiongying?"

"Even if there is an antidote?"

But unfortunately, Zhu Congxin still had an indifferent look on his face, making it completely unclear what his emotions were.

But for Su Jianyi, this was actually enough.

Because at least judging from his calm reaction, Zhu Congxin should not really care about Zhu Xiongying's life or death.

"Your Highness! It's been too long. The poison of the emperor's grandson has entered the bone marrow. It can't be saved."

He breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then quickly replied with a careful look on his face.

Then, he carefully took out a thumb-sized medicine bottle and placed it respectfully in front of Zhu Congxin: "If your highness doesn't believe it, you can try this antidote."

"Sister Zhang. Please put this medicine away first."

Knowing that it was the antidote, Zhu Congxin gave Zhang Xiulan a faint instruction.

No matter what, he decided to give it a try before talking about it.

As for the authenticity of this medicine?

He knew that Su Jianyi would not dare to lie to him.

However, to be on the safe side, he would also arrange for a few eunuchs to help him keep an eye on Su Jianyi's every move in the coming days.

If Su Jianyi dared to run away, he would make him regret being born in this world.

Of course, before ending the meeting, he did not forget his promise to Zhang Xiulan.

"Now that the medicine has been obtained, let's talk about the Zhang family's affairs."

"Squint your eyes, you should know what I'm talking about, right?"

"If you understand, tell me all the truth."

"Otherwise, Sister Zhang and I will definitely make you regret being born in this world!"
