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

Chapter 98 The Man Behind
  The family dinner is over.

Zhu Yunwen took his two younger brothers back to the East Palace.

They found a room in the East Palace and secretly made a mourning hall with Lu's memorial tablet on it. After returning, Zhu Yunwen first kowtowed to Lu and also asked his two younger brothers to kowtow.

"Brother, is our mother-in-law really dead?"

Zhu Yunzhen was also silent a lot during this period, probably because he knew that Lu was dead and could not accept this fact for a while.

As a naughty kid, it was rare for him to be silent.

Zhu Yunxi is one year older than Zhu Xuan, but he doesn't quite understand now why his mother and concubine disappeared for no reason. In fact, Zhu Yunwen still doesn't know the specific reason.

All I know is that he must have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Concubine... is dead!"

Zhu Yunwen stood up and said solemnly: "From now on, there will only be three of us brothers left. Yunwen, you can't mess around anymore. We will avenge our mother and concubine in the future!"

Zhu Yunxi asked confusedly: "What is revenge?"

Zhu Yunwen did not explain anything to him, and continued: "We can still live in the East Palace now, but the future is not certain, and we may be killed. No matter how ignorant you are, who will avenge the mother and concubine in the future?"

At the end of his speech, he patted Zhu Yunzhen on the shoulder and turned back to his room.

The two younger brothers stayed in the mourning hall, very confused. Finally they looked at Lu's memorial tablet, knelt down and worshiped again, and then went back to rest.

Zhu Yunwen would never do this, so let it go.

He must do something to avenge Lu. Now he is not afraid of anything.

"You really want revenge?"

At this moment, a faint voice sounded behind Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen looked back and saw a man, who didn't know when, appearing in his room. After hearing what the other person said, he nodded affirmatively.

He didn't know who this person who suddenly appeared was, nor did he recognize him. What was certain was that the other person was the person behind the mother-in-law. As for why there was someone behind the mother-in-law? This no longer matters to him.

The first day of Hongwu’s thirtieth year.

Zhu Xuan's time-travel journey has entered its fifth year. In a few months, he will be five years old. He has grown much taller than half a year ago. He is tall and handsome.

On the first day of the new year, Zhu Xuan first went to accompany the emperor's grandfather, then went out of the palace to play with Xu Miaojin and Mu Yuanjun for a long time, and finally came back to see the emperor's grandfather.

The officials in the DPRK basically rested.

The same is true for the three pavilion elders, who go home to spend time with their wives and children.

Zhu Yuanzhang was alone in the palace and had nothing to do, so he went to Wenhua Pavilion, found the memorial that Mu Xiu had not processed before, and opened it to read.

It's still snowing outside. Inside the Wenhua Pavilion, a charcoal pot must be burned for warmth. However, while heating, ventilation must be paid attention to, so the effect of this charcoal pot is average.

Zhu Yuanzhang wrapped himself in a thick cotton coat to keep warm.

After Zhu Xuan came back, he searched for a long time before finding Grandpa Huang in Wenhua Pavilion.

"Grandfather!"

He first walked over, sat next to Lao Zhu, and gently fiddled with the charcoal basin to make the charcoal fire burn brighter and warmer.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial, smiled and said: "My dear grandson, don't you want to go play with the girls from the Xu family and the Mu family?"

"My grandson played with his two sisters for a while. He remembered that Grandpa Huang was alone in the palace, so he came back immediately."

Zhu Xuan hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said softly: "Grandpa Huang, you have a rest today, so don't read the memorial anymore."

He also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to do.

Apart from visiting the harem, the only thing I could do was read the memorial.

But at this age, I can't do anything in the harem. The most I can do is chat with the concubines, but I don't really like gossiping with them, so in the end I just read the memorial.

After hearing what his darling grandson said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "We won't watch it anymore. I'll just spend time with my darling grandson today, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Xuan jumped up with joy and asked again: "Is Grandpa Huang afraid of the cold? If not, can we go outside and build a snowman?"

"We are not afraid!"

Seeing his grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang gently waved his hand, and said happily: "Let's help my grandson build a snowman."

Yunqi saw that they wanted to play in the snow, so he quickly went out to find the Jin Yiwei, gathered the snow outside the palace gate, and let them play.

It was already dusk when a little snowman appeared in front of the palace gate.

"Is it cold?"

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Xuan's red little hand and put it in his arms to keep warm.

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "My grandson is not afraid of the cold, but he is just too playful and let Grandpa Huang get the cold."

"Haha... so cute!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took his hand and went back to the Nuan Pavilion in the palace. He clapped his hands gently, and someone immediately brought him hot soup. He then said: "Grandpa Huang is old. He built a small snowman and was so tired that he was out of breath."

Lao Zhu is indeed old.

Zhu Xuan thought about it again, this year has been the 30th anniversary of Hongwu.

If there are no other accidents, Zhu Yuanzhang will die next year, but his existence is just an accident. Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang now, he is full of energy, and he will definitely be fine next year.

"Grandpa Huang is still in his prime. He must be tired from reading the memorial today."

After Zhu Xuan said this, he was thinking that he had to find another way to help Zhu Yuanzhang take good care of his health.

He doesn't know how to raise it, but others do.

There were also some relatively long-lived people in the Ming Dynasty, such as Zhang Sanfeng on Wudang Mountain. It was said that he was born in the late Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty. Until Zhu Di later, people still visited him.

Zhu Xuan didn't know how to calculate how long he would live.

In addition to Zhang Sanfeng, there was also a doctor named Liu Chun. He was born in the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty and died in the second year of Hongzhi period in the Ming Dynasty. He was a total of 126 years old.

This kind of lifespan would almost never exist for ancient people.

Zhu Xuan was thinking that he must find them back and help Grandpa Huang maintain his health.

Go back later and ask Yan Guan to find someone.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "We are no longer in our prime. I just hope to see my good grandson grow up and have no regrets."

Zhu Xuan came back to his senses and said softly: "Grandpa Huang must be able to do it. He can still see his grandson's child being born."

"If you can, it's best."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Xu Xingzu, is dinner ready? Our dear grandson is hungry."

"Ready!"

Xu Xingzu hurried to the imperial dining room.

After a short wait, someone brought the food.

They were worried that the food would get cold, so the plates they used in winter were hollow inside, and they put hot water in them to keep them warm.

"Grandpa, eat chicken legs!"

Zhu Xuan picked up a chicken leg and put it in Zhu Yuanzhang's bowl.

"My dear grandson will eat it too."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave the other chicken drumstick to Zhu Xuan.

The grandfather and grandson were like this. They finished the dinner happily and the inside of the Nuan Pavilion was quite warm.

Yun Qi stood aside and waited. Seeing the two masters looking happy, he also smiled and occasionally told a joke or two, or told some anecdotes as part of the dinner program.
