Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 167 Wanli burst into tears: 'He' is simply worse than a beast!

Zhang Chonghui didn't seem surprised by such a 'fatal' answer, and only responded with three words: "That's it."

Zhu Xuanyu was a little surprised by this man's calm reaction, which gave her a feeling that... the other party seemed to have known the result for a long time.

"So..." Zhu Xuanyu asked with some anxiety: "Do you still dare to send us back?"

"Then I won't give it away." Zhang Chonghui's answer was straightforward. He changed the subject and said seriously: "In that case, I might as well sell you both mother and daughter! I can still make a profit. Big money!”

Faced with this threat, Zhu Xuanyu laughed out loud. After a few chats, she realized that this man was just joking with her.

After all, if he really wanted to sell them, he would never say it.

Moreover, dare to sell the queen and princess? How many of the nine tribes are so wild...

wrong!

Suddenly, Zhu Xuanyu remembered something! It seems that she was really 'sold' by Zhang Chonghui!

"Are you afraid of his revenge?" Gu Xiancheng interrupted first and asked.

"Yes." Guo Zhengyu replied: "I didn't see him when the Japanese pirates rioted on the night of Shangyuan. It is said that something happened in Prince Lu's Mansion that night, and I heard that a nobleman was lost! That night, the emperor sent several officers and soldiers to search the city, but he didn't know that he was missing. Which noble person is it?”

"Lost your nobleman?" Gu Xiancheng smiled and said with evil intentions: "It seems that the emperor has blocked the news very hard."

Until now, Guo Zhengyu was still hesitant. He turned to ask what he was most concerned about at the moment: "But the top priority is the demon book! Who should take the blame?"

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter." Gu Xiancheng looked indifferent and waved his hands: "We said it doesn't matter to him, then it doesn't matter."

In this case, Zhu Xuanyu didn't know what to say...

The steps to the top of the pyramid of power are made of countless corpses. There was countless blood and tears, and there were not only countless corpses of enemy parties, but also countless colleagues...

"Ah?" Guo Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Isn't that true?"

Gu Xiancheng shook his head, but said: "For the emperor to pay so much attention to it, either the queen mother, the empress, or the princess and the prince will be disappointed."

Guo Zhengyu may also already know that he, Guo Zhengyu, is just a stepping stone under his feet as the Donglin Party advances...

At Guo Zhengyu's house.

"Did you, a scoundrel, bring up the first of the 'seven' extra-ordinary treaties that the imperial court negotiated with the Japanese slaves?"

"Good life, don't be afraid." Gu Xiancheng comforted him and said, "Even if Zhang Chonghui wants to take revenge, he will take revenge on Shen Zhonghua. He is the one with the highest position among us now!"

I remember when Zhu Xuanyu heard that the Japanese slaves were planning to target herself, the Princess of the Ming Dynasty, she was so angry that she wanted to beg the emperor's father to give the culprit who came up with this 'bad idea' a good beating!
But now that the 'culprit' was sitting beside her, she didn't know how to punish him...

Meanwhile, the inner city.

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel..." Guo Zhengyu hesitated to speak. In fact, he didn't know what he was hesitating about...

Guo Zhengyu knew, but he still couldn't bear it: "But we are together..."

"What do you mean?" Guo Zhengyu asked with a confused look on his face: "Do you know who is missing?"

Gu Xiancheng hardly hesitated and said with a strange smile: "Of course Zhang Chonghui's ideas must be carried out by Zhang Chonghui."

No one can resist the temptation of power.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.

However, this time, Guo Zhengyu was in a dilemma: "But... Zhang Chonghui... what if he..."

But the struggle for rights has never reached the top through peace and "joint advancement and retreat".

The anxious and agitated Guo Zhengyu finally waited for his 'savior'!
"Uncle Gu! You're finally here!" Guo Zhengyu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. Before the travel-worn Gu Xiancheng could take off his cold-proof cloak, he asked:
"Shen Yiguan seems to have discovered that it is the demon book we published! Now he is making people go crazy to impeach me and Shen Zhonghua! The emperor seems to be doubting us too! What should we do?"

In the end, the little girl was so angry that she just turned her head away, leaving the back of her head for Zhang Chonghui, and hummed angrily:
"Stop pretending, I know it was you who mentioned it. I have a lot of knowledge, Princess, and I don't have the same knowledge as you."

"Huh? This is too..." Guo Zhengyu was frightened by the other party's "blushing" level!
However, Gu Xiancheng was very calm and said: "Go and pass it on, we have no way out."

"Good life!" Gu Xiancheng seriously interrupted Guo Zhengyu. The next moment, he raised his hands and pressed heavily on Guo Zhengyi's shoulders. He looked deeply into the other person's eyes and said seriously, word by word:
"Good luck, Shen Zhonghua is old. You are our real hope."

"Wait!" Zhu Xuanyu directly asked Zhang Chonghui something and said:

Guo Zhengyu asked: "So...?"

"But..." Guo Zhengyu also sighed longly: "Now Zhang Yunxiu is nowhere to be found, and even Zhang Chonghui is nowhere to be seen. They all ran away, leaving us to wipe this ass!"

Looking at the panicked Guo Zhengyu, Gu Xiancheng smiled and patted the other person on the back, comforting him: "Blessed life, why are you panicking? The sky won't fall. Don't worry."

Gu Xiancheng still didn't panic and just asked: "I heard that Zhang Chonghui is missing?"

……

Guo Zhengyu knew that Shen Li was just a tool to climb to the top of power.

"Ah?" Zhang Chonghui seemed to have lost his memory, but asked: "What is the first one?"

……

"Spread the news." Gu Xiancheng said directly and boldly: "Just say... the queen mother, empress, and princess have all been kidnapped by Japanese pirates!"

This time, Guo Zhengyu remained silent after all.

Zhang Chonghui didn't explain it, he simply said: "Well, that's what I mentioned."

Even if Guo Zhengyu had ever thought about following Shen Li to the death.

"Just marry the Princess of Ming Dynasty..." Zhu Xuanyu felt a little ashamed to continue talking...

At the same time, west of the city.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the night wind is getting colder and colder.

Touching the cold stones in his jacket bag, Zhu Xuanyu, who was trembling slightly, wanted to ask Zhang Chonghui, why didn't he collect firewood to keep warm tonight?
Looking at the little cousin sleeping soundly and carefree in Zhang Chonghui's arms, Zhu Xuanyu inevitably felt some envy in his heart.

It would be nice if she was only ten years old. In that case, maybe she wouldn't have to avoid suspicion...

"To be honest, I really don't want to go back to the palace." Zhu Xuanyu said again as if he was out of words.

"I don't care whether you want to go back or not." Zhang Chonghui still answered the same: "Anyway, I want to make a career."

"It's a meteoric rise again...do you also want to be an official?"

"Absolutely. You can't be a sinner for the rest of your life."

"Actually, there is a solution...no, you...are married, right?"

"Well, I'm married. Besides, I don't like the prince-in-law."

"You!! Why are you so shameless! Who wants you to be the consort! I don't even look down on you!"

"Did I say you fell in love with me?"

"I...you were the one who said you didn't like the prince-in-law in the first place!"

"Yes, I just said that I don't like the prince-in-law, that's all. Why are you so excited?"

"I'm not excited!"

"You're blushing, aren't you excited yet?"

"I...I'm too hot!"

"Since it's so hot, take off your cloak and cover it with me. I'm cold."

"You...you! You are so annoying!"

"It's okay to hate me, just don't like me."

"You are shameless!"

Zhu Xuanyu was so angry that she was convinced why this man was so stinky and shameless!

Isn't it just that you have a good skin? There are so many good-looking men in the world, what's so great about it!

Still disdainful of the consort? How dare a sinner look down on his consort! It really pissed her off!
"Is your wife good-looking?" Zhu Xuanyao suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"nice."

"How beautiful is it?"

"Like a fairy."

"No wonder I heard that you barged in the door upside down..."

"Who did you listen to?"

"My royal grandmother."

"Oh."

"By the way... what is your relationship with my imperial grandmother?"

"It doesn't matter."

"I don't believe it. I clearly saw you with my own eyes back then..."

"Shh, don't be good. Children who talk nonsense will get needle holes."

"I'm not a child anymore, and you're not much older than me. Please don't always talk to me in a tone that's more daddy than my father."

"it is good."

"...Do you also cherish words like gold when talking to your wife?"

"of course not."

"..." Just when Zhu Xuan was sulking, Zhang Chonghui, who had been facing the east, slightly lit up his eyes. He seemed to have seen something!
Almost without hesitation, Zhang Chonghui first pulled down the sleeping Zhu Xuanyao, placed him on the ground, stood up, and walked straight towards Zhu Xuanyao.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Zhu Xuanyu was a little surprised as to why Zhang Chonghui suddenly walked towards him, and even more curious as to why he... stretched out his hand towards him?
Is it... is it possible... to be a hooligan?
Facts have proved that Zhang Chonghui did not act like a gangster, but directly committed a robbery.

"This hairpin on your head is so beautiful, do you mind giving it to me?"

Before Zhu Xuanyu could agree, Zhang Chonghui had already pulled out a gold-rimmed lotus hairpin from Zhu Xuanyu's head and quickly hid it in his sleeve.

"Hey you..."

Realizing that the hairpin had been pulled out, Zhu Xuanyu instantly blushed with embarrassment. She quickly lowered her head and asked vaguely in a low voice:
"Why...are you, a grown man, pulling out my girl's hairpin? You don't like the concubine..."

"Sell it for money." Zhang Chonghui directly gave such a somewhat mercenary answer.

Zhu Xuanyu seemed to want to say something more, but before she could speak, she saw Zhang Chonghui pointing in the east direction and saying:
"The officers and soldiers are here, you can go back."

"What? Are the officers and soldiers coming?" Zhu Xuanyu hurriedly followed Zhang Chonghui's line of sight!

The moment she saw the fire, she seemed to see the hope of living!
"Come on, come on! I can go home!"

"Queen Mother! Ayao! We can go home!"

"Zhang Chonghui! Your guess is too accurate!"

This is an unspeakable joy. The usually dignified little girl is no longer dignified. Instead, she is so happy that she jumps up and down without any rules.

Zhu Xuanyao didn't know why. She always felt that it didn't matter if she wasn't a dignified lady in front of this man. After all, he had seen her break her guard and cry like a shrew...

"wrong!"

Apart from joy, Zhu Xuanyu became panicked again!

In a panic, she didn't care about whether men and women were kissing each other, so she pushed Zhang Chonghui and said hurriedly:

"The officers and soldiers are here! Run away! I didn't lie to you! My father will really kill you!"

……

Facts have proved that even if Zhang Chonghui wanted to run away, it was already too late.

Not to mention, he had no intention of running away.

So, when the Jinyiwei conveyed the first scene after finding the queen and princess to His Majesty the Emperor...

……

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, at that time, the princess's hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She was obviously bullied. But no matter how our people asked the princess, she gritted her teeth and said she was fine. She also took care of Zhang Chonghui. The kid interceded and said that kid didn't do anything..."

After hearing the news reported by Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun, an old father, was so angry that his whole body was about to burst!
After finally finding my wife and daughter, I was told that they and Zhang Chonghui, a foreigner, had been alone together for two days and two nights!
This news was enough to make Zhu Yijun collapse!
It turns out that his daughter seems to have been...

"You bastard! What a bastard! He even dares to touch my daughter! He is worse than a beast! Ah! Ah!"

I don’t know if His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he screamed “Ahhhh” and smashed things with all his strength!

Screaming and smashing, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to still have some disbelief in evil, and actually came to Kunning Palace in person in the middle of the night!
His Majesty the Emperor said that he wanted to see with his own eyes how his wife and daughter, who had just returned to the palace, were doing!

As for his real purpose...

……

Kunning Palace.

When the queen and her daughter learned that the emperor, who had always ignored them, was arriving in the middle of the night, they almost thought he was here to see them off on their "last journey."

It's not surprising that they think too much, the royal family has always been like this. For the sake of the royal family's face, even if the mother and daughter are innocent, they will not be able to resist people's suspicion.

……

"You two are suffering out there."

Zhu Yijun looked at the mother and daughter with a caring face, as if he was just worried about his wife and children. In fact, his observational gaze that he thought was calm was so obvious that it made the mother and daughter feel uncomfortable.

Especially Zhu Xuanyu, she always felt that the emperor's father looked at her in a strange way, with deep observation in his care, and deep questioning and curiosity in his observation.

It turned out that there seemed to be nothing visible through naked eye observation, so Zhu Yijun asked directly.

"Did that kid cause any trouble to you these two days and two nights?"

Come on, I finally asked.

This time, Sister Wang Xi did not answer, but lowered her head and sighed in disappointment, as if she was disappointed that the emperor's husband did not trust her.

Zhu Xuanyu was also full of disappointment, but she replied, "Back to my father, he didn't make things difficult for us. If he hadn't saved us, we would have long... It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, you can go Ask Ayao, she is only ten years old, children can’t lie.”

Seeing that his wife and children were so sensitive and uncomfortable, Zhu Yijun was afraid that the arrogant mother and daughter would do something stupid if they couldn't figure it out. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he laughed and said:
"It's good if it's not! It's good if it's not! What are you saying, Lao'er? Of course I believe you! I'm your father, how could I not believe what my daughter says!"

Looking at the emperor's father who was smiling enthusiastically, Zhu Xuanyu smiled awkwardly and politely.

She didn't know if it was because she had experienced life and death, but it was only at this moment that she realized that the father's love she had always dreamed of seemed a bit ridiculous...

"Do you know why you are in so much pain? Because you are stupid enough to want to rely on the love and care others give you to prove yourself."

The words in my memory echoed in my mind again.

Yes, Zhang Chonghui was right. Why did she live in such pain before? Because she is so stupid that she wants to rely on the love and care given by others to prove herself.

Yes, instead of pursuing the love and care of others to affirm yourself, it is better to love yourself.

"Father, it's getting late. You have to take care of your dragon body. Go back and rest early, right?"

On the surface, Zhu Xuanyu said it was for the sake of the emperor's father's dragon body, but in fact, he was issuing an eviction order.

What she meant was very simple and straightforward - if you don't sleep, my mother and I will have to sleep after being tired for two days! If you have nothing to do, go and play with your Concubine Zheng!

Zhu Yijun could naturally hear such an obvious order to expel guests. However, this time, he was not as angry as before, but became more enthusiastic.

"Xiao'er, I was the one who neglected to care about you in the past. You won't blame me, right?" Zhu Yijun looked as humble as an old father who had realized his mistake.

However, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Not to mention the elder sister Wang Xi, even the fourteen-year-old Zhu Xuanyu also noticed that something was wrong.

There is no child in this world who can blame me, let alone the fact that I am the emperor in front of me, the king and father of all people in the world.

How could this emperor, who refused to even issue an edict to punish himself, admit that he was wrong?
"Father, you treat me so well, how can I blame you?" Zhu Xuanyu replied very respectfully.

Facts have proved that the mother and daughter's guess was correct. The emperor would not admit that he was wrong. What he said just now was not just a test, he also had a purpose.

"My lord, you are not young anymore. My father has been choosing for you for several years, and finally you have found a good family."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand as he spoke, and Chen Ju on the side presented a booklet very wittily. Zhu Yijun took it, opened it, and enthusiastically introduced it to the queen and daughter:

"Come, come and take a look. This man's name is Yang Chunyuan. He is the son of Yang Ji, the deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division. Yang Chunyuan is not only born with a dignified appearance, but also an upright and upright man. Moreover, his grandfather Yang Weicong, once served as the Imperial Servant. The number one scholar in the Zhengde and Xinsi years!"

Zhu Yijun introduced to his wife and daughter the son-in-law who had finally chosen him with great difficulty.

He seemed to have forgotten that the mother and daughter had just returned from wandering outside and were in an exhausted and haggard state.

At the same time, Sister Wang Xi and Zhu Xuanyu were both confused, especially Zhu Xuanyu. She even suspected that she had heard wrong...

She had just escaped from the palace, and her emperor father was already eager to marry her off?

Any normal person would be unhappy if they were urged to get married at this time, and would even subconsciously refuse.

Zhu Xuanyu's eyes that had been swollen turned red again. She refused without thinking, "I don't want to marry. If you really think I'm an eyesore, just send me to the temple to be your sister-in-law. "

Anyway, she didn't really want to go back to the palace.

However, Zhu Xuanyu's answer seemed to have touched the emperor's old father's skin. The loving father, who had been smiling just now, instantly turned cold and said displeasedly:
"What? You don't want to marry? Why don't you marry?"

In fact, Zhu Yijun has always been in a state of nervousness. When he heard that his daughter was not getting married, his nervousness suddenly rose!

What a wonderful daughter, the most sensible daughter in the past! How dare you disobey his father's orders? !
How dare you say you won’t get married! Still want to go to the temple and be a sister-in-law? ?

Why did my good-looking daughter suddenly become so misbehaved? He must have been led astray by Zhang Chonghui!

It must be Zhang Chonghui who led his daughter astray!

Zhu Yijun had not realized until this moment that he had actually been looking for 'questions' with 'answers' tonight!
"Father, I just don't want to get married." Zhu Xuanyu didn't bother to explain so much, but it was her successive 'disobedient' actions that completely aroused Zhu Yijun's suspicion!
"Did that kid do anything to you?" Zhu Yijun asked this question again, and this time his attitude was 'just' questioning!
"Of course not!" Zhu Xuanyu answered truthfully. She seemed to feel aggrieved and raised her voice.

However, at this time, Zhu Yijun was already sensitive to the point of being a little nervous. Seeing that his daughter, who had not dared to speak loudly in the past, suddenly became so bold, the suspicion in his heart suddenly deepened!

At this time, no matter what he said, Zhu Yijun did not believe that there was nothing going on between Zhang Chonghui and his daughter!

This guy must have done something to his daughter! Otherwise, his daughter would not be so excited!
"Xiao'er, don't you have a crush on that boy?" Zhu Yijun asked directly.

"How is that possible!" Zhu Xuanyu became even more excited and subconsciously retorted: "And he is already married!"

Seeing his daughter's blushing face and this unclear answer, the old father Zhu Yijun almost fainted for a moment...

Already married... What if we don't get married...

it's over... it's over...

It's all over...

……

Chen Ju didn't know what was wrong with His Majesty the Emperor. He stayed up late at night and ran to introduce the consort to the queen and princess who had just returned from the disaster. The key was that he refused to sleep after he came back.

Forget it if you don’t sleep, it’s too late, and His Majesty the Emperor actually said...

I want to see Zhang Chonghui! ?

And immediately! See you soon! ?
