Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 504: Secret Investigation of the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace

Master Hu looked at the long convoy and the various brocade boxes piled high on it, and he felt a little uneasy.

"Old Song, what are you doing?"

"What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, are they going to die?"

Song Li was originally planning to congratulate Master Hu, but as soon as Master Hu opened his mouth, he interrupted all his words.

Song Li smiled bitterly and pulled Master Hu straight inside, whispering as he walked.

"Mr. Hu, you have such a bad mouth, can you bring someone to guard the door?"

"I know you are close to the emperor, but you can't tell everyone everything!"

Mr. Hu glanced at Song Li unhappily.

"What's wrong?"

"Could it be that your emperor still thinks he is very generous?"

"Who in the Ming Dynasty doesn't know about his stingy temper?"

When Master Hu said this, Song Li was completely speechless.

Because, these words are so damn true.

Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation for being stingy has been known for many years.

Song Li opened his mouth speechlessly, wanting to say a few words to defend his master.

But looking at Mr. Hu who looked indifferent, he finally held back all the words.

This is a smart man, you can’t fool him!
Forget it, just love it!

Song Li simply stopped talking about this embarrassing topic and turned to talk about the purpose of his trip.

"Master Hu, I am here this time on the orders of His Majesty to bring you a gift!"

"Before this, the emperor's eldest grandson suddenly fell ill..."

"... In this case, the Emperor feels that all this is due to your far-sighted and brilliant arrangement, Master Hu!"

"Look, he is so happy that he has arranged for the prince to prepare some more gifts for you and asked this old servant to deliver them to you!"

Master Hu looked at Song Li in surprise.

I'm not surprised by these gifts.

What can a gift do no matter how good it is?
What he cared about was that Zhu Xiongying had a near-death experience without making any noise.

"Is this serious?"

"Why haven't I heard any news?"

It's no wonder he asked this question. After all, he was quite well-informed about the palace.

After all, his family not only has a cousin who is the Crown Princess, but also a princess who came out of the palace.

Song Li was not surprised by Master Hu's question. He gave Master Hu a thumbs up with admiration.

"Otherwise, how can we say that you, Mr. Hu, are a good parent?"

"The emperor and the queen were both so panicked at the time that they didn't pay attention to anything."

"After the Crown Princess arrived, she immediately took out the Crown Prince's and her own tokens and asked this old servant to seal off the palace."

"Especially the East Palace. If anyone dares to spread any word, I will kill him first!"

"My goodness, that demeanor and that broad mind are worthy of being taught by you, Master Hu!"

After hearing Song Li's explanation, Mr. Hu suddenly understood.

Oh, it turns out Xiaoyue’s contribution was also involved.

I was wondering why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became so polite.

It turns out that two things were put together and rewarded.

However, it would be a lie for Master Hu to say that he was dissatisfied with Xiaoyue'er's performance.

It seems that all my past teachings were not in vain.

Xiaoyue is increasingly looking like the mother of a country.

Good, good, good! Master Hu was so happy that he didn't even want to bother Song Li anymore.

After accepting the reward with peace of mind, he simply waved his hand and sent Song Li away.

They were not like other people at all. They were very solemn and excited when they accepted the rewards from the emperor.

It was as if he had really received some small gifts from his friends, and he casually asked Hu Yi to put them into the warehouse in his house for registration.

Song Li didn't care about those empty formalities.

After all, those things can only fool ordinary officials.

When it comes to Mr. Hu's situation, it can no longer be viewed as an ordinary relationship between a monarch and his subjects.

After Song Li left and sent everyone else away, Master Hu sat quietly in his study, thinking carefully about the matter of Zhu Xiongying.

If it is true as Song Li said, it was because he let Zhu Xiongying exercise that he escaped this disaster.

Then I have obviously completely changed history.

Moreover, Zhu Xiongying's life would be far more beneficial to Master Hu than his death.

If this matter were told to other time travelers, they would either overthrow the Ming Dynasty and put themselves in power.

Either let Zhu Xiongying die, and then wait until Xiaoyue gives birth to a legitimate son and then raise him carefully.

In this way, we can create a prosperous era or something.

It's not impossible if you really want to do that.

But Master Hu was not happy.

How tiring!
I just want to lie down and live a corrupt life like a rich man, what's wrong with that?

As for Master Hu, he is now deeply bound to the Zhu family.

Especially the Zhu Biao lineage, it can be said that there is no way to change it.

If history really had gone as Zhu Yunwen came to power, Zhu Di rebelled, and then Yongle started doing this, then Master Hu would have been in big trouble.

After all, would Zhu Di watch Master Hu, a founding hero and Zhu Biao's father-in-law, live?

Therefore, only when Zhu Xiongying comes to power can Master Hu live a peaceful life.

Everyone is safe and sound, that’s great!
While Master Hu was pondering the gains and losses, things in the palace had also changed.

Looking at Zhu Xiongying who fell into a deep sleep after eating two bowls of meat porridge, Zhu Yuanzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But once he changed his mentality from that of a good grandfather who was worried about his eldest grandson, things immediately changed.

"Order Mao Xiang to come quickly!"

Without saying much, Zhu Yuanzhang just gave Song Li an instruction and turned around to start eating.

He hasn't eaten for a day.

Only now did he finally feel hungry.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was eating with big mouthfuls of food, Mao Xiang came running towards him in a hurry.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had already said "come quickly", so could he dare to walk slowly?
Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed the last bite of food in his mouth, then gulped down half a bowl of tea to rinse his mouth, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"Mao Xiang, we want you to investigate something, but you can't make it public!"

"As long as your majesty commands, I will not refuse even if it means death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

“Check!”

"Check whether our eldest grandson's sudden illness is related to the Eastern Palace!"

When Mao Xiang heard this, he almost cried out loudly.

What do you mean by whether it has anything to do with the Eastern Palace?

Doesn't this mean that they want to investigate the Crown Princess? !
After all, even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs, and the prince can’t possibly kill his own son.

But, investigating the Crown Princess is not an easy task.

However, Mao Xiang had no choice but to obey the order obediently!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang's hurriedly leaving figure, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

Xiaoyue performed very well today!

But, we still have to check it out after all!

After all, many people are eyeing this position!
