Chapter 74: Monk Menggui
Sheng Minglin was slightly startled and hurriedly signaled to the maid outside to wake up Princess Duan.

Princess Duan was just a little dazed when she was woken up by the sound. She casually gathered a handful of her hair and hurried out to make eye contact with Sheng Minglin.

Sheng Minglin pointed at himself anxiously. Princess Duan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Both of them were thinking that Prince Duan must have told the emperor that if Zhuzhu was alone in the palace, he must ask Zhuzhu something.

It wouldn't be good for the family to follow him, but Zhuzhu hadn't woken up yet, so they couldn't rest assured that they would just let the palace people take him away... So it was more appropriate to let Sheng Minglin go, a half-grown child.

As for Sheng Minglin, he simply felt that no matter what Prince Duan said, he could go over and cooperate and let Princess Duan say that he was not at ease.

At this moment, Zheng Zhongshun had already come in, and Princess Duan said quickly: "Eunuch Zheng, please wait a moment. I'll wake up Zhuzhu."

Zheng Zhongshun asked quickly: "The princess is not awake yet?"

"Yes," Princess Duan said, "I had a nightmare last night and got up late in the morning."

Zheng Zhongshun said with a smile on his face: "Then there is no need to scream. There will still be some time on the road anyway, so it would be good for the princess to sleep a little longer."

"In that case..." Princess Duan said, "Lin'er, go hold your sister and go with Eunuch Zheng."

Sheng Minglin agreed and went in to hug Zhuzhu. He was used to hugging Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu snorted, snuggled into his arms, and fell asleep again.

Zheng Zhongshun didn't stop him, he saluted with a smile and took him away with him.

The words are divided into two parts.

Prince Duan thought about it for most of the night and still felt that he should tell his brother about this matter.

Nowadays, all the brothers have become vassals. Although the King of Qi is in the capital, he was actually arrested for committing a crime, but he still retains face.

He was the only one who remained in the center from beginning to end and always held the real power.

Of course he had feelings of admiration for his brother, but he also knew that as an emperor, he was different from ordinary people.

Therefore, he also understands that the reason why he has reached this point is not just because he is a biological brother, nor is it just because of "the power of following the dragon", but more importantly, he has really not hidden anything from his brother for so many years.

Therefore, Emperor Mingxi really loved him and was willing to trust him.

Trust is something that is difficult to accumulate but easy to destroy. He doesn't want to lose everything he has now, and he doesn't want to make his brother sad.

When he went to court in the morning, Prince Duan looked haggard.

Sure enough, Emperor Mingxi noticed it, and when he came to court, he asked him to come over and have breakfast together, and asked him: "What's going on? How old are you? Whenever something happens, you will put on a disguise on your face."

Prince Duan was always a sentimental person, and he almost burst into tears when his brother said something.

Emperor Mingxi was surprised when he saw his posture. He stopped his chopsticks and asked him: "What's going on? Who else dares to bully you in this capital? You tell the fourth brother that the fourth brother will make the decision for you!"

After hearing these words, Prince Duan felt even more moved and said, "Brother Emperor..." He wiped away his tears and said, "Brother Emperor, I'll talk about it after breakfast."

Emperor Mingxi glared at him and said, "We are not so squeamish yet, just so you say!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the waiter to go down, leaving only Zheng Zhongshun.

Prince Duan whispered: "Brother Emperor, last night Zhuzhu had a nightmare and kept calling her father and mother. An Ning and I went over and called for a long time before finally waking up. Then she told her brother about her dream. Although it was It’s a bit confusing, but it sounds like it’s definitely not an ordinary child’s dream. There are many things that Zhuzhu cannot possibly know.”

Emperor Mingxi nodded.

Prince Duan continued: "In Zhuzhu's dream, there was another Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu called her 'Bad Zhuzhu' because she thought he was very bad. For example, Lin Lin, this child Zhuzhu... the emperor also knew , Zhuzhu is a person who cares about appearance, and she seems to kiss Minglin as soon as she sees him, but the bad Zhuzhu in the dream dislikes Minglin very much, bullies Minglin, and even forces Minglin to death." This statement , Prince Duan has considered it repeatedly.

He blended Sheng Minglin's memory into Zhuzhu's dream and talked about it together.

Among them, the two beads are indeed strange, but they are the basis of everything and cannot be concealed.

He continued speaking slowly, just in a simpler way, but the general direction was correct.

Finally, he said: "I asked Ming Lin carefully. He was drawing a map on the table and telling others about the horror of the plague, but his words were a little literate."

He briefly mentioned a few words, then came back and said, "Zhuzhu shouldn't understand, but feels scared? He only remembered the map, so that's why he had this dream?"

He looked at Emperor Mingxi: "There are many things that my brother really can't figure out."

Emperor Mingxi did not stop using his chopsticks and kept eating slowly, but he would ask questions from time to time.

After all, ever since Master Yanyi appeared, this matter was no longer a trivial matter, and of course he had to ask clearly.

Prince Duan didn't say anything anymore. He stood up and handed some chopsticks to his brother. Then he sat back and ate quickly.

It wasn't until both of them had finished eating, asked someone to clear it away, and slowly drank tea that Emperor Mingxi said: "The map may be an introduction, but our Zhuzhuer's dream is really not trivial."

Prince Duan nodded.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that Emperor Mingxi didn't speak again, he said again: "Can't I ask Master Yanyi?"

Emperor Mingxi snorted: "That old monk..."

He changed his mind again midway: "Master Yanyi, after he calculated Zhuzhu that time, he told me that he wanted to go into seclusion. I didn't take it seriously at the time, so I agreed. Now it seems... I'm afraid... It’s about Zhuzhu!”

Prince Duan panicked: "Could it be that after Zhuzhu..."

What he meant was, did Master Yanyi think that Zhuzhu might become that bad Zhuzhu?That's why you avoid it?

Emperor Mingxi shook his head: "Tell me, what are you afraid of? You couldn't hold your breath when you were young! Don't worry, it won't be like this! I watched that child Zhuzhu grow up, how can I still know her?" He is a good boy who is timid even when he is young, sweet and well-behaved. Such a child will not become like that even if he is pampered!"

He paused for a moment: "Moreover, Master Yanyi has said those words before. If Zhuzhu really turns bad, wouldn't those words become nonsense? Therefore, there is absolutely no such possibility. I think it is God's blessing. Sheng, Master Yanyi has calculated that Zhuzhu is about to awaken, and is worried about revealing too much secrets, so he hid!"

He paused and then said, "But I still need to send someone to ask if there will be any harm to Zhuzhu if she leaks the secret?"

As he spoke, Zheng Zhongshun hurriedly went out to find someone to give instructions.

Emperor Mingxi added: "As for, there is another bad Zhuzhu..." He smiled firmly: "This is a warning! Have you forgotten about the eminent monk Menggui?"

Prince Duan looked stunned, yes!The eminent monk Menggui!

This story is about an eminent monk from Jinzhou who dreamed of entering the underworld at night and saw ghost soldiers ordering prisoners, just like slaughtering pigs and sheep.

The eminent monk happened to see a familiar person working as a subordinate, so he asked him. The subordinate said: "All the demons in the heaven feed on humans. Demons eat people, just like humans eat grains..." etc. .

The specific story is a bit long and very legendary, and because it happened at that time, many people know about it.

Of course Prince Duan also knew.

He also knew that Emperor Mingxi would think of this.
