Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 80 Let’s get to the bottom of it

"Back to Your Majesty, more than a month ago, the second emperor's grandson came to Zhenfusi and asked me to help him find a nanny who served the emperor's eldest grandson. I checked the nanny's place of origin and found Fengyang Dingyuan. I found out what happened. It’s not that simple…”

Jiang Wei gave a complete account of the nanny's situation.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang had finished listening to what he said, he felt that what Jiang Yu came to report was not simple. He was still entrusted by Zhu Yunxi to investigate matters related to Zhu Xiongying back then.

There may be a secret behind Zhu Xiongying's death from illness more than ten years ago.

Zhu Yunxi must have known some secrets, so he hid it from Lao Zhu and wanted to investigate on his own.

"Keep talking!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

His face was gloomy and his eyes were staring straight at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei was stared at and panicked, so he continued:

"Because this matter is very serious, I was worried that the second emperor's grandson would mess up. I hid part of the results of the investigation from him."

"Actually, I finally found that jade pillow."

"Before the nanny's family was taken away, she accidentally broke the jade pillow and exposed the contents inside. She had lived in the palace for a long time and knew that pillows are close to the body and must be used to sleep on them every day, and some special things fell out of the pillows. Something that immediately reminds me of certain taboos.”

"I understand that taking the jade pillow away will bring disaster to their family."

"The nanny secretly gave the contents of the jade pillow to a neighbor who had been favored by her."

"According to the neighbors, the wet nurse once said that someone will definitely come looking for the jade pillow in the future, so she asked him to hand it over to the person who came to look for it. Soon, someone came and took the wet nurse's family away, and they never appeared again. I don’t know if I’m still alive!”

"The neighbor also said that the nanny told him that the reason why he kept the contents of the jade pillow was because he had received a favor from Princess Jingyi. She noticed the strangeness of the jade pillow and wanted to repay the favor..."

Jiang Wei told everything he found during the investigation.

After finishing speaking, he raised his head again and took a sneak peek at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang now, with a gloomy face and a murderous expression. His hands were tightly grasping the armrests of the dragon chair, and the terrifying murderous intention was suppressed.

This kind of majesty from a superior person made Jiang Wei unable to straighten his waist.

After Yun Qi heard everything, he was frightened and quickly lowered his head as if he hadn't heard anything.

After listening to Jiang Wei's description, Zhu Yuanzhang was certain that his eldest grandson did not die of illness for no reason.

Shortly after Zhu Xiongying's death, Queen Ma passed away due to excessive grief.

If there was something wrong with the jade pillow, two relatives around Zhu Yuanzhang died because of the jade pillow. He asked coldly: "What is inside the jade pillow?"

"The jade pillow was broken and the fragments could not be recovered, but a centipede that had been dead for a long time and had dried fell out of it and has been preserved to this day."

Jiang Wei took out a small bottle from his body and raised it with trembling hands.

Yun Qi understood what he wanted to do, so he quickly stepped forward, took the small bottle, and sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the bottle and poured out a very special centipede.

This is different from ordinary centipedes.

Even though it has been dead for a long time, the centipede is still colorful and has special patterns on its back.

Not like an ordinary thing, not like a normal centipede.

"I also found out that this jade pillow was used by the emperor's eldest grandson and Crown Princess Jingyi together."

"Pillows are necessary for people to sleep every day. If there is a centipede hidden in the jade pillow, it must be used to harm people."

"This centipede looks very much like the Gu worm from the Miao people."

Jiang Wei continued: "I once dealt with a Miao people. They like to raise voodoo, and they can use voodoo to kill people invisible..."

Having said this, he felt an even fiercer killing intent filling the air in front of him.

I didn’t dare to say anything anymore.

The issues behind the deaths of Zhu Xiongying and Princess Jingyi are about to be revealed.

Zhu Yunxi must know something. He has kept this secret in his heart for more than ten years. Only now did he dare to let Jin Yiwei investigate.

Why are you checking now?
  Because the Lu family has lost power!
  It must be that poisonous woman named Lu again.

Only after the death of the eldest grandson, the death of the Chang family, and the death of the Lu family and Zhu Yunzhen, would they have a chance to ascend to the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately thought of many things. Who else could have access to Princess Jingyi's pillows and other personal items in the palace besides Lu?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Anger wanted to well up from the bottom of his heart, and he really wanted to kill people. He grabbed the hand of the bottle and shook it hard.

The bottle made a "pop" sound and was broken by him.

Those fragments scratched the palm of his hand.

When Yun Qi saw this, he exclaimed and took Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, carefully removed the fragments, and then used a piece of clean silk to wrap them up.

It is not convenient for the imperial doctor to come in now, so we can only handle it simply like this.

"Where did the jade pillow come from?"

"Who took the wet nurse away?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked suppressing his anger.

There was no direct outburst of anger, it was a good temper that he had cultivated over the past few years through cultivating his mind and nature.

You dare to harm Crown Princess Jingyi, and you dare to kill our eldest grandson.

Lu really deserves to die!
  However, Jin Yiwei couldn't find any definite evidence yet, so he didn't want to do anything to Lu. Originally, he wanted to leave Lu to his good grandson to deal with it, but now he couldn't wait any longer.

He wanted to settle old and new grudges as soon as possible.

Don't want to wait.

"After so many years, many things are not easy to investigate."

"Before I entered the palace, I ordered people to go and investigate at all costs. Your Majesty, please wait for the results."

Jiang Wei lowered his head and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "You are responsible for this matter. You must find it out for us. If you can't find it out, you can come to see us with your head high."

"The minister takes orders!"

Jiang Wei said loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Go check it right away!"

Jiang Wei hurriedly retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red.

If Zhu Yunxi hadn't wanted to investigate these things, he wouldn't even know what happened back then. That child even hid it from the emperor's grandfather. He felt that he was not worthy of being a grandfather.

Even if his grandson has something on his mind, he is unwilling to tell him about it and keeps it in his heart.

Zhu Yunxi definitely wanted to take revenge. He would rather find a way to get revenge by himself than tell him.

It’s really hard for Yunxi!

The child had been with Lu for so many years. If it hadn't been for the help of his little sweet grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't even have known to ask Zhu Yunxi to leave that poisonous woman.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. Not only had he failed his eldest grandson, he had also failed his sister and Biao'er, and he had also failed Yunxi.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger finally turned into this helpless sigh.

He will endure these things for now, and when he finds out everything, he will wipe out the entire Lu family to vent his hatred.

That poisonous woman of the Lu family had harmed one of his good grandchildren one after another. The family must be exterminated. If not, I would be sorry for my sister and eldest grandson.

"Your Majesty, would you like to invite the imperial doctor over?" Yun Qi said cautiously.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Xuan's voice came from outside the door.

"Grandpa Huang, I'm here to see you!"

Zhu Xuan trotted in, followed by others carrying silver. Yan Guan and other royal guards came to give Zhu Yuanzhang dividends.
