Chapter 502 The Disaster the Zhu Family Cannot Avoid

Chapter 502: The Disaster the Zhu Family Cannot Avoid

"Junghachi, Junghachi, Yuei will be fine, right?"

"Zhongba! Say something!"

"My poor Xiong Ying!"

Queen Ma, the mother of a country who was usually gentle and dignified, no longer had her usual dignified demeanor at this moment.

At this moment, she was just like an ordinary woman, clutching Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve tightly, but her eyes were staring straight at the small figure on the bed.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also different from usual at this time.

He didn't bother to explain anything. He just patted Queen Ma's hand to calm her down a little. Then he looked at the small figure in front of him with the same nervousness.

Lying in front of them at this time was their eldest grandson, Zhu Biao's eldest son Zhu Xiongying.

The child was raised in Kunning Palace since childhood and was personally raised by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma loved this eldest grandson even more than their son Zhu Biao.

But now!

Something happened to Zhu Xiongying!
Originally, Zhu Xiongying coughed twice two days ago, and Empress Ma thought that her eldest grandson had caught a cold.

Therefore, I quickly asked the imperial physician to take a look.

The imperial physician spent a lot of time taking the patient's pulse and observing his appearance, and initially concluded that the patient had caught a cold and would be fine after some rest.

But this treatment actually caused problems.

Zhu Xiongying's original symptoms of cough and fever not only did not disappear, but became more and more severe.

Even today, blisters are starting to appear on my face and body.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma saw these blisters, they felt chilled to the bone.

Although they don't know any medicine, they have seen everything over the years.

Smallpox!
Acne!
Is it possible that they don’t even recognize this?

But precisely because they knew each other, they became more worried.

Smallpox is an incurable disease!

In a rage, Zhu Yuanzhang directly brought all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau to the Kunning Palace.

What kind of temper does Zhu Yuanzhang have? Once he gets angry, how can he reason with others?
Therefore, he gave a death order!
"We don't care what you come up with!"

"If our great grandson is safe and sound, we will reward him generously;"

"But if...if...if anything happens to our eldest grandson, then your entire family should be prepared to be buried with him!"

All the imperial doctors began to diagnose and treat the patient, sweating profusely.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, the most noble couple in the Ming Empire, just sat on the edge of the bed, wiping the sweat off their eldest grandson from time to time.

At the same time, he stared at the group of imperial doctors with his sharp eyes.

It was as if he wanted to see what tricks they could come up with.

In the entire Kunning Palace, except for the imperial doctors' quiet and hurried conversations, everyone was holding their breath and paying close attention to the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty lying on the bed.

But at this moment, Song Li walked quickly to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to get angry when Song Li shouted at him, but after hearing this, his face turned bitter.

He wanted to say something or refuse, but he also knew that this matter could not be concealed.

He simply waved his hand impatiently: "Let them in!"

Hu Xinyue, who was about to give birth, slowly walked over with the support of Zhu Biao and called softly.

"Your son/consort greets his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his son and son-in-law in front of him, opened his mouth, and then said dejectedly.

"Biao'er, Yue'er, we...we...we didn't take good care of Xiongying!" Zhu Biao wanted to comfort them, but didn't know how to respond.

He also likes his eldest son very much.

It would be strange if he wasn't sad considering his current state.

Hu Xinyue looked at the little person on the bed, then looked at the distraught Old Zhu, her mother-in-law and her husband. She took a deep breath and said sternly.

"Song Li!"

Song Li, who was standing a few steps away, was startled at first, and then hurried forward and bowed to obey: "Replying to the Crown Princess, this old servant is here!"

This shout not only attracted Song Li, but also attracted the attention of Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao.

But Hu Xinyue ordered without any politeness.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Crown Prince are concerned about the Emperor's grandson. There are some things they cannot take care of. Please work hard!"

"Crown Princess, you are too polite. Please just give your orders!"

As soon as Hu Xinyue said this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao all nodded at Hu Xinyue.

Obviously, at this time, the three of them were indeed a little confused, so it would be better for them to let their daughter-in-law make the arrangements.

Seeing that no one objected, Hu Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief, her face became serious, and she looked straight at Song Lidao.

"Song Li, after this, you will take the Crown Prince and my token to the East Palace."

"Xiong Ying is the eldest son of the Crown Prince. This matter involves the foundation of the country and should be handled with caution."

"Therefore, from today onwards, not a single piece of news from the East Palace can be leaked to the outside world!"

"If anyone breaks the rules, we will arrest them first and then interrogate them. If anyone breaks in by force, no matter who they are, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Eunuch Song, there is currently no reliable eunuch in the East Palace, so I have to trouble you!"

Song Li bowed again and said, "I obey your orders!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma nodded silently, and Zhu Biao took off his badge from his waist and threw it into Song Li's hand.

"Old Song, it would be good for you to go there!"

"I'm not in the mood or time to deal with those people right now, so I'll just do as the Crown Princess says."

"Be polite first, then use force. If anyone disobeys orders, don't arrest them first and then ask questions. Just kill them directly!"

Although Zhu Biao had a reputation for being kind among the outside world, that was relative to his father.

It would be funny if you really treated him as a dough without temper.

Seeing that Zhu Biao had spoken and the old Zhu couple agreed, Song Li immediately took the badges from Zhu Biao and Hu Xinyue and went straight to the East Palace.

After Hu Xinyue finished arranging all this, she looked at Old Zhu and Empress Ma and whispered.

"Father, mother, I cannot interfere with the affairs of the empress."

"But I still suggest that you keep the news secret!"

"After all, Xiongying is the eldest grandson!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but the anger in his eyes was much less.

Queen Ma forced a smile and held Hu Xinyue's hand.

"Well, the Queen Mother will give the order!"

"Luckily you are here. You don't know how panicked your father and I were just now."

"There are many things that I can easily think of at ordinary times, but now I can't figure them out!"

"Thank goodness for you!"

Queen Ma's praise was very genuine, and Hu Xinyue didn't know what to say at the moment. She just pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

At this moment, everyone here is thinking about the little guy Zhu Xiongying.

If something really happens to this kid, it will be a big deal.
