Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 5 005 Zhu Xiongying’s calamity, the aura begins to show
After the New Year, vassal kings from all over the country returned to Kyoto one after another.

Knowing that both sons were favored by their parents, Zhu Xi felt refreshed.

In order to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from taking away his two sons prematurely, he directly ordered Guanyinnu and Deng to return to Xi'an.

Needless to say, Guanyin slave, although he was reluctant to give up, he also knew that this was the best ending.

Deng, on the other hand, relied on his favor and began to pray for Zhu Chong.

But unfortunately, at this time, Zhu Xi only wanted to have his son please his father for him, so how could he listen to her prayers?

As for keeping Deng in Kyoto?

That's even more impossible!
He is still counting on Mrs. Deng to accompany him well after he returns!

Otherwise, how could he rush to pick her up eagerly?

Time just flows slowly by eating and drinking day after day.

In the blink of an eye, the day has come to the first day of March in the 15th year of Hongwu (March 1382, 3).

After more than a year of growth, Zhu Congxin finally gained the ability to act independently.

Of course, due to incomplete development, he can only crawl.

But this alone was more than twice as powerful as Zhu Shangbing who was sent to the palace at the same time.

As a result, for a long time in the following days, there was a cunning "spy" everywhere in the palace.

Not only did he see every corner of the palace, but he also heard some unknown secrets deep within the palace.

Just like the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying suddenly fell ill a few days ago, and then Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the death of a large number of internal servants and imperial doctors.

These things may not be obvious to others, but Zhu Congxin, who already knew the date of Zhu Xiongying's death, could smell the coming storm.

[Zhu Xiongying: Ming Dynasty clan, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang’s eldest grandson Hongwu passed away on the first day of May in the 15th year. 】

There are less than two months left!
Coupled with the subsequent Ma crisis, Zhu Congxin simply couldn't imagine what her life would be like in half a year.

[We have to find a way to get in touch with Zhu Yunwen! 】

[This kid will become the second heir to the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Xiongying dies!Although he only served as emperor for four years in the end, for now, he should be the best backer. 】

Carefully retracting his head from the corner of the imperial study, Zhu Congxin secretly planned.

This was not the first time that he had peeked into the royal study. After all, it was a baby who had not yet been weaned, and the guards outside had no intention of stopping him.

As for Zhu Congxin's followers.
They may have been a little scared the first time.

But later, after getting Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, they no longer worried about their master's safety.

Anyway, it won't be long before this quirky little ancestor will crawl away automatically.

As long as they don't get close, they will definitely not be punished by the emperor.

But this time, the situation is obviously different.

"Little Carrot Head! Stop here! What crime do you deserve for breaking into the imperial study?"

After discovering Zhu Congxin's existence, Zhu Yuanzhang unexpectedly stopped this sneaky boy and carried him into the imperial study.

As for the eunuchs who had been reprimanded, he waved his hand and drove them out of the room.

At this point, only two of them, one old and one young, were left in the entire royal study.

However, Zhu Congxin did not panic. Instead, she said "Grandpa" and let out a burst of sweet laughter.

This is his winning move!
No matter who you face, just laugh!

And the cuter the smile, the better.

Although it is not guaranteed, Zhu Yuanzhang has never failed.

"Hmph! You're still laughing! Your heroic cousin is already sick! You can still laugh! What a heartless idiot!"

Sure enough, when he heard this burst of laughter, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still a little sad, instantly showed a forced smile.Immediately afterwards, he hugged Zhu Congxin and sat on the chair next to him, talking to himself.

"Alas! Why did he suddenly fall ill when he was such a healthy child, neither cold nor hungry?"

"You know, we, Lao Zhu, were about the same age as him when he was herding cattle. He had also been exposed to rain and beaten. Logically speaking, he should actually be healthier than us!"

"But unfortunately, he fell ill for no reason!"

"And even the imperial doctors in the imperial court couldn't find any symptoms!"

"What do you think this is all about?"

This was originally just a self-talk without any expectations.

But as he listened, Zhu Congxin, who was originally indifferent, suddenly had some thoughts.

[Could it be true that Zhu Xiongying died young because he was drugged by the prince’s second concubine, Lu, as said in many TV dramas? 】

[But what kind of medicine can make all the imperial doctors helpless? 】

[Food that restrains each other?Or maybe some incense that can trigger allergic reactions? 】

He recalled some plots from TV series.

And the more he thought about it, the more he felt that was the case.

Because to this day, with the crown prince's wife dead, Zhu Xiongying has actually become the only obstacle to Lu's ascendance!

He didn't know what kind of person Lu was.

But in the current environment, her motivation is definitely quite great!
【Let’s try it first!If one less person dies, Zhu Yuanzhang should feel better and won't directly turn into a black man! 】

Thinking like this, Zhu Congxin hurriedly pursed her lips, put on a distressed look, and pointed to the incense on the table: "Grandpa! It stinks!"

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much about it, thinking that the child couldn't stand the smell of incense.

But just as he was about to recruit someone to take away the incense on the table, a flash of light suddenly opened his mind.

"That's right! Food and food may not be mutually exclusive! But what about incense?"

“Back then, Mingjiao’s Shixiang Ruanjin Powder needed to be combined with incense to detoxify!”

"If that's the case, why can't other poisons be mixed with spices?"

At this moment, he really felt enlightened.

Then, he quickly summoned the servants and rushed to Zhu Xiongying's residence aggressively.

Of course, he had no intention of throwing Zhu Congxin aside.

Because for him, Zhu Congxin has now become a mascot-like existence.

Subconsciously, he even felt that Zhu Congxin's blessing might be able to help Zhu Xiongying get rid of some bad luck.

"Get rid of all these incense tables for us! Leave no one behind!"

"In addition, recruit all the imperial doctors into the palace!"

"I have something to ask them!"

Next, the whole Prince's Mansion was in a state of uproar.

In addition to Zhu Congxin, even the prince Zhu Biao was frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum, and quickly stood aside in a dignified manner.

Ms. Lu, on the other hand, was even more frightened and trembling all over. She was so close to a group of maids and nannies that she didn't even dare to show her anger.

However, her silence did not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang would ignore her existence.

"Prince! Do you know who placed these incense?"

After everyone removed the incense table, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lu and asked coldly.
