An hour later, in the courtyard outside Prince Xiang's Mansion, Zhu Jinghong just got off the carriage and ran into Deng An, who was chasing after him.
In the front hall of the courtyard, Zhu Jinghong walked back and forth in the room, listening to Deng An's report on the situation.
A few minutes later, he finally stopped and asked: "So...has the third child woke up?"
Deng An replied: "When the slave left, he got The news is that he was sent back by his master!"
"Is Li Wenzhao still on trial?"
"That's right...but Liu San only admitted to looking for Zhu Jingting's son, and the others I don’t know anything about it, Li Wenzhao is being tortured!”
Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, “I can’t think of anything other than beating him up!”
If Zhu Jingrun was cautious enough, he wouldn’t be able to do anything! Let Liu San get involved in too many things. After all, this person is just an ordinary eunuch in charge.
"Then let Li Wenzhao..."
"Go check the Guangyang Palace?" Zhu Jinghong asked.
"Ask them to report the situation... let's just say that this morning the captain accidentally discovered that Liu San was suspicious. As for how suspicious they are, they will make it up themselves, and how to investigate the subsequent case. Everything is up to His Majesty's decision!"
p>After hearing what Zhu Jinghong said, Deng An quickly nodded in agreement, bowed and then withdrew.
Zhu Jinghong sat on the chair, wondering how things would develop and whether he could get out of it.
At this moment, Baochai appeared from the back hall and asked Deng An why he came here.
After Zhu Jinghong explained, Baochai said: "I didn't expect that it was the third envoy last time!"
"Yes!" Zhu Jinghong sighed, his eyes Still thinking deeply.
"But why is he so capable that the three of you almost got into chaos and disturbed the peace inside and outside the court? Just because of his status as the eldest son of the emperor?"
Obviously, in Baochai's view, this is simply impossible.
"Perhaps he has really won over a lot of people over the years, but he is just doing things secretly and we don't know it!" Zhu Jinghong speculated.
"But the question is, he can win over so many people, how can the old man be kept hidden?"
He Zhu Jinghong felt that it was obvious enough that he was pretending to be stupid, and it was almost like running naked in front of the emperor. , Zhu Jingrun is not trusted and is under strict surveillance, so he should not be able to hide it.
Thinking about it on the other hand, with the two choices of the prince and the sixth son, the officials had no reason to choose him.
Baochai stepped forward and frowned: "This matter is strange. The truth will be revealed in two days, so you don't have to think too much!"
"Yeah!"
Just when Zhu Jinghong was about to enter the inner house, a eunuch suddenly came outside and reported: "Your Majesty, someone from the East Palace has come, and Master Miaoyu has been sent here!"
"What?"
Zhu Jingrun's incident did not surprise him, but Miaoyu was suddenly sent over, which made Zhu Jinghong a little bit embarrassed.
"I brought you a wonderful jade!" Baochai interrupted at the side.
"Good girl, why did you send her here!" Zhu Jinghong looked puzzled.
During the negotiation in the morning, Lao Liu mentioned Miaoyu. Could it be that he was causing trouble? Zhu Jinghong guessed so.
He was indeed right. After meeting the emperor in the morning, Lao Liu actually went to the East Palace and specifically mentioned the matter of Miaoyu.
In order to connect his brother with the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Jingyuan tried his best.
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong didn't answer, Baochai couldn't help but smile and said: "What? If you don't like it... then send him back!"
"Xiao Quanzi, Go and pass the message..."
The eunuch, known as "Xiao Quanzi", did not go immediately after hearing the order, but looked up at Zhu Jinghong.
At this time, Zhu Jinghong said: "We are already here, so it would be unethical to drive people away!"
Baochai then teased: "Oh... you are like this again!" It’s so strange to talk about etiquette!”
“Since I’m a guest, you go out to greet me. I’ll take my leave first!”
“Why don’t we meet together?” Zhu Jinghong's words are not true.
After rolling her eyes at him, Baochai said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm here to visit you, wouldn't it be a hindrance if I'm here?"
"How do you say this? ""
Then Baochai left, and less than two minutes later, Miaoyu came to the room.
Of course she was reluctant to come, but the prince agreed, so she could only compromise for the sake of the overall situation.
"Meet your Highness!"
Miao Yu bowed humbly, but Zhu Jinghong came closer, grabbed her hand and said, "I miss you so much!"
< p>All this happened so suddenly that Miaoyu was completely caught off guard, causing her computer to shut down for a short time and froze in place."Don't...don't do this!" Miaoyu quickly withdrew her hand and took two steps back in a panic.
She has indeed practiced profoundly and has a lot of great principles in her heart, but these are of no use at the moment.
"My lord, why are you still here? The sisters are waiting for you!"
The appearance of Zhen Qin relieved Miaoyu, who immediately retreated for two seconds. step.
"Everyone is here?"
"Of course they are all here, how dare you not come if you want me to come!"
While answering, Zhen Qin also discovered Miaoyu, so she immediately greeted him.
"Master Miaoyu, you are here, this is really rare!"
"I have seen the selection of waiters!" Miaoyu saluted according to the rules.
"There is a banquet today. You came at the right time. Come and play with us!" Zhen Qin also took Miaoyu's hand.
At this moment, in Miaoyu's eyes, Zhen Qin is nothing less than a savior, so she immediately hid behind her, nodded her head and said: "Okay... I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just wanted to catch up with you!"
You still want to seduce the prince, how can I give you a chance... Looking at the "fooled" Miaoyu in front of her, Zhen Qin felt particularly proud.
"Your Majesty,You should go too! "Zhen Qin extended an invitation.
"That's fine! ”
While answering, Zhu Jinghong looked at Miaoyu, which made the latter instantly tighten his legs.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Jinghong laughed and said to Miaoyu is even more interested in sex and has even thought about what to do at night.
“Let’s go! "Zhu Jinghong had a slight smile on his face.
Just seeing his smile, Miaoyu felt a chill, but now that she was behind bars, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
What’s the big deal? For the great cause of teaching, I will sacrifice anything...
Indulging in sexual intercourse will definitely damage the foundation of his body. If he can be so ecstasy that he will not die a good death, let alone It's a matter of killing two birds with one stone...
Miaoyu kept convincing herself, but in the end she still felt aggrieved. In the end, she could only stare at Zhu Jinghong's back and cursed in her heart.
You are so stupid. Stupid Zhu who suffered a thousand cuts, when I become a big deal in the future, I will discipline you to live or die!
As if sensing Miaoyu’s emotions, Zhu Jinghong suddenly stopped and turned around, staring straight at Miaoyu. Staring.
Miaoyu felt so guilty that she almost blurted out what was in her heart, but in the end she held it back.
"Miss Miaoyu, I suddenly have a headache. Say some sutras to me! "Zhu Jinghong stroked his forehead and said.
This bastard knows that he is a lustful person, but he can't be so impatient. You don't have a woman in your damn house, right...
Knowing what Zhu Jinghong was planning, Miaoyu cursed in her heart again.
"Your Majesty, why is this good person getting a headache... Do you want to be a doctor?" "
As a prince, Zhu Jinghong always has an imperial doctor on duty in his house, so Zhen Qin said this.
"Girl Qin, don't bother me so much, just let Miaoyu read the sutra for me. Just wait until I feel better and I’ll talk to you tonight! "
"Really? "Zhen Qin stood up on tiptoes with excitement, and her whole body was surrounded by happiness.
"Of course it's true... Go and play with them! ”
“Okay... I’ll go right now!” "
After saying that, Zhen Qin looked at Miaoyu again, and solemnly asked: "Master Miaoyu, you must recite sutras well so that the prince will not have a headache!" ”
Looking at Zhen Qin who was earnestly entrusting her, Miaoyu was really not sure at the moment whether this person was pretending to be stupid or really stupid.
Before she could figure this out, , Zhu Jinghong had already pulled her to leave, but Miaoyu stumbled and fell directly into Zhu Jinghong’s arms.
“Miss Miaoyu, you have to be careful! "Zhu Jinghong's tone was soft.
Then they left one after another, and Zhen Qin went to the back garden happily.
The time came in the afternoon, and the capital city , inside the Qianqing Gate.
Zhu Jingrun was kneeling on the imperial road. He had been kneeling for half an hour since he was summoned and rushed to the Qianqing Palace.
He was kneeling on the road.His health is not very good, so kneeling for half an hour is indeed very difficult for him.
When he was in a daze, a figure came to him. When Zhu Jingrun looked up, he realized that it was Cheng Ying.
"Eunuch Cheng!"
"Third Master, get up, the Lord has ordered you to enter the palace!" Cheng Yingying said calmly.
"Yes!"
Zhu Jingrun wanted to get up, but he couldn't find the strength in his legs, so Cheng Ying stepped forward to help him up.
"Thank you, Eunuch Cheng!"
Cheng Ying looked calm and said, "Third Master, I will go in soon. Please answer me truthfully!"
This is a warning. , is also advice.
"I understand!"
With Cheng Ying's support, Zhu Jingrun entered the Qianqing Palace.
He originally thought he was meeting in Nuange's study, but Cheng Ying asked him to stand in the main hall, where the emperor's throne was right in front of Zhu Jingrun.
Of course that was the place he longed for, but he had never taken a closer look at it in these years.
The emperor's throne is noblely decorated. At this moment, the throne is so close, but at the same time it is so ethereal!
"Enough?"
The sudden voice frightened Zhu Jingrun to death, and he collapsed to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jingrun quickly stood up, endured the severe pain in his knees, adjusted his direction, and kowtowed to the emperor continuously.
He was looking so seriously just now that he didn't notice the emperor's appearance.
Slowly walking up to Zhu Jingrun, Zhu Xianming looked down at his third son, a man who was both familiar and yet strange.
"I heard that you had a fight with someone from Beizhen Fusi at Qianhu Office in Nancheng this morning and even drew a knife?"
"Aren't you in poor health? It seems that I made a mistake!"
The first sentence can be explained, but when he heard the second sentence, Zhu Jingrun was almost paralyzed with fear
"Why don't you speak? Zhu Xianming asked coldly.
"Father, my son is guilty!"
Zhu Xianming turned around, came to the throne, walked up the imperial steps, and finally sat in the emperor's seat.
"Tell me honestly what happened this time!" Zhu Xianming said solemnly.
"Yes..."
Zhu Jingrun himself knew that only by telling him honestly could he have a chance of survival. After all, now that he had been exposed, it was only a matter of time before he was found out.
"I don't know, I don't know... where to start!"
On the throne, Zhu Xianming straightened his clothes and said calmly: "From the matter of Lao Sisi and Zhu Jingting "Say!"
"The conflict between Zhu Jingting and Lao Si was indeed instigated by his son. His son also sent someone to pretend to be a eunuch from Prince Rui's Mansion and asked him to go to the clan's manor to deliver the order!"
"You have silenced the people involved in this matter even if I thought about it!"
"Yes!" Zhu Jingrun admitted honestlyrecognize.
"Then..."
"No more!"
"No more? There are rumors in Beijing and instigating the impeachment of officials. Don't you think about these things? Are you going to confess?" Zhu Xianming's face turned ugly.
Suppressing the pressure, Zhu Jingrun replied: "These ministers did send servants in the government to do some work!"
Zhu Xianming's expression became more serious and asked: "Didn't you win over the officials? No incitement to connect?"
Zhu Jingrun said very calmly: "Father, my son is not the prince, nor Prince Rui, nor Prince Xiang, who would be willing to follow him?"
The truth is true. For this reason, no one will come to burn Zhu Jingrun's cold stove. After all, there are three better choices.
But what if someone is stupid and has to try to follow the dragon's lead?
"You'd better tell the truth!"
"My son is telling the truth..."
After taking a deep breath, Zhu Jingrun continued: " The son began to ask the clan government to take action, just to involve Prince Rui, and then try to spread the rumors and get Dong Palace to take action..."
"You have courage!" Zhu Xianming said suddenly.
Zhu Jingrun felt uneasy, but he could only continue: "But the development of things later was completely beyond my expectation!"
"My son just gave me a little guidance, and the East Palace and Prince Rui's Mansion The ministers rushed out like crazy and tried their best to impeach the thirteenth brother!"
"Father knows what happened next!"
Listen! After all this, the truth of the matter seems very simple, even too simple.
Zhu Xianming couldn't believe it, but he also knew that it was possible, so he had to conduct strict verification.
"So, you just started it, and then the fourth and sixth people took advantage of it!" Zhu Xianming asked rhetorically.
"My son doesn't know, maybe he is being used by them, or maybe they are being used!"
"Who are they being used by?" Zhu Xianming then asked.
As soon as this question was asked, Zhu Xianming already knew the answer. Of course, it was to be used by his respective subordinates.
In order to bring down Lao Shisan, he risked his life to control the situation.
The truth has emerged. All parties involved in this matter have played a disgraceful role in it. Although Zhu Jingrun is the initiator, it is unfair to put all the responsibility on him.
"Why did Zhu Jingting obey your orders?" Zhu Xianming asked the last question.
“Zhu Jingting’s younger sister Pingkang County Lord is still unmarried. She gave birth to a son thirteen years ago. It happened that Zhu Jingting’s legitimate wife also gave birth to a son at that time. However, Zhu Jingting’s wife had a false pregnancy. The son he gave birth to is the son of the Lord of Pingkang County!"
"He brought the bastard into the family as his legitimate son to inherit his title?" Zhu Xianming said in a low voice.
According to the current downgrading system, if a royal family member has a legitimate son, he or she will be demoted by one level. If a concubine or an adopted son of the clan succeeds in the title, he or she will be demoted by two levels..
In order to slow down the reduction of the title, it is reasonable for this guy to find someone to pretend to be his legitimate son and seize the title. Moreover, this kind of thing has a history in the royal family, and he was severely punished when discovered.
"This child is indeed a bastard, but not an ordinary bastard!"
"How to say?"
"This child is the daughter of Zhu Jingting and Ping Ping." Born to County Lord Pingkang!"
At this moment, Zhu Xianming was shocked. After a few breaths, he said: "Pingkang County Lord is his sister, and she is also...his biological sister!"
p>Zhu Jingting's father was Zhu Xian'ao, the prince of Zhongxian County. According to the above-mentioned downgrade to the nobility system, his concubine should be named the county prince, and only the legitimate daughter could be named the county head.
Zhu Jingting is the legitimate son, and Pingkang County Lord is the legitimate daughter, which means they are brothers and sisters from the same mother.
In such a relationship, they actually hooked up and gave birth to a son.
If word spreads, it will really bring shame on the royal family... Zhu Xianming was so angry that he showed murderous intent.
"Cheng Ying..."
