Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 24 024 Heart-to-heart talk between ancestors and grandchildren
"What about Su Jianyi?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was practicing calligraphy, still showed no emotion or anger on his face, and continued to ask.

However, the strokes on his hand couldn't help but become more violent.

"This person hides very deeply! The subordinates went around and traced more than 100 files, and finally found his root."

"According to the records of the Kyoto inspection, this person should have entered the Lu Mansion 18 years ago and was regarded as a domestic slave maintained by Lu Ben."

"But later, he was expelled from Lu Mansion for some unknown reason."

"And after many investigations, it seems that the date this person left Lu Mansion was not long after the Crown Princess married into the East Palace."

"After that, he worked hard to practice his cooking skills and became an imperial chef."

Mao Xiang quickly continued to reply.

While speaking, he also presented a thick book to Zhu Yuanzhang.

That is the "Kyoto Inspection Transcript" he just mentioned.

Although there are not many words, it covers almost all the information of officials big and small inside and outside the capital.

And based on the contents, he judged the time Su Jianyi entered Lu Mansion and the date he left Lu Mansion.

However, facing this book with an explosion of information, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have no interest in reading it.

"Where's the little one? What has he been doing these past few days?"

He slowly put down the brush, carefully looked at the crooked characters on the paper, and continued to ask calmly.

Because of Zhu Gai, he is now accustomed to calling Zhu Congxin "little one".

"The little grandson is as lazy as ever. He spends the whole day eating, sleeping, and kissing the palace maid named Zhang Xiulan."

"But this morning, he met Su Jianyi again."

"Judging from their behavior, Su Jianyi must have been completely convinced by the little emperor grandson."

"In addition, the previous group of young eunuchs also asked that the young emperor's grandson had indeed climbed onto the emperor's grandson's bed and wiped the corners of his mouth."

Mentioning this matter, Mao Xiang's expression became more serious.

Because by now, they had almost figured out the cause of Zhu Xiongying's sudden illness.

".The royal doctor has experienced the bottle. It is indeed an antidote rather than a poison."

"It's a pity that the timing of feeding the little one was wrong. It happened to be the time for others to poison her."

"Go and call him over!"

"It's been two days since I moved to Xihe Hall, and I don't even know how to thank you! I'm so angry!"

"If we don't change it, we don't know how much trouble we will cause in the future!"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang directly rubbed his brows and sat down tiredly.

Judging from his depressed look, it was obviously still difficult to accept the truth before him.

"Yes! Get on top!"

Faced with this situation, Mao Xiang did not dare to stay any longer and quickly accepted the order.

Then, he stood up resolutely and walked quickly towards the door of the Imperial Study Room.

"Wait first!"

However, just when he was about to step out of the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting with his head supported, stopped him again.

"Mao Xiang, do you know how to conclude this matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask after he turned around.

At this moment, the moment he raised his eyes, he no longer had any previous melancholy, and the only thing left was a trace of determination and calmness.

"Return to the superior! Mao Xiang understands what to do!"

"This matter is the revenge of Hu Weiyong's remnants from beginning to end!"

"Everyone will be arrested and brought to justice!"

"Including the Crown Princess's maidservant and her personal maid!"

"However, they are all dead soldiers, so it should be difficult to capture them alive."

"Mao Xiang will take full responsibility for the crime of dereliction of duty! And he promises to never do it again!"

Knowing that this was meant to calm things down, Mao Xiang quickly replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally waved his hand again and let him leave the study.Then, there was a long silence.

It wasn't until a burst of birdsong sounded that Zhu Yuanzhang finally picked up the book coldly and threw the brazier not far away.

"Lu Ben, oh Lu Ben! You sinister and vicious slave of the three surnames!"

"Don't think that nothing will happen if you die!"

"We will use the flesh and blood of your clan to cleanse the hero's hatred!"

"Don't you want to support Yunwen to rise to power?"

"We will let him personally execute all your clan members in front of your daughter!"

"We're going to make her a loner!"

"From now on, apart from Yun Wen, she will have no one to rely on!"

While staring at the fire, Zhu Yuanzhang was gnashing his teeth and cursing.

Half an hour later, Zhu Congxin finally arrived at the imperial study under the leadership of Mao Xiang.

At this time, the books in the brazier had been completely burned out.

There was only a layer of black ash, which was swaying wildly in the breeze. Some of it was scattered on the ground, and some of it was scattered on Zhu Yuanzhang's head.

"My grandson Zhu Congxin! Meet Grandpa Huang!"

The moment he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Congxin easily sensed a hint of dignity and immediately bowed obediently.

It's a pity that this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give him a good look.

"Tell me! How long are you going to keep those things from me?"

"Do you know how much trouble you caused because of your temporary anger?"

He glanced sideways at Zhu Congxin and asked straight to the point.

The oncoming sound alone almost knocked Zhu Congxin to the ground.

And it was in this gap that a piece of rice paper with words suddenly lifted up in the wind, drifted and fell to Zhu Congxin's feet.

【Su Jianyi! 】

【Zhang Xiulan! 】

【little guy! 】

That's three names!

Or a title!

The moment he read the content clearly, Zhu Congxin felt a chill to his bones.

He knew very well what these three names meant.

To put it bluntly, this is actually the culprit that caused Zhu Xiongying's condition to suddenly worsen again.

【. Could it be said that he has blamed Zhu Xiongying's illness on me? 】

While his mind was shattered, he couldn't help but guess this.

But just when he was thinking hard about how to deal with it, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly restrained his momentum and let out a sigh full of guilt.

"We also know that you are angry with us! You blame me for using you to test poison on Xiongying."

"But we are still angry. How could you conceal such a major matter in such a high-spirited manner?"

"See this bottle?"

"This is the antidote you use to treat Xiongying."

"But now, due to the effect of another drug, it has turned into an extremely poisonous poison."

"The imperial doctor said that this medicine is powerful enough to take away all the hero's life within ten days!"

"Little one, do you know what this means?"

"This means that your heroic cousin doesn't have many days left to live!"

"And all this is caused by your whims and self-righteousness!"
