Court the next day.

I saw Lan Yu appearing in the center in a white robe. He knelt on the ground. White hair had sprouted from his temples at some point. He raised his eyes and looked at the figure above.

Duando, standing next to him, recounted his crimes.

All civil and military officials were frightened when they heard this. They never expected that Duke Lan could commit so many crimes under his glory, but...

Some people focused their attention on Zhu Shangbing and couldn't help but think of the assassination.

Are the two related?

Before they could think about it, a voice came from above.

There was no joy on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, but his hand under his robe kept stroking the jade pendant secretly.

"Lanyu, do you know your guilt?"

crime?

Lan Yu raised her eyes to look at that person, and in a trance, she seemed to see the scene when she was riding horses to fight in all directions.

The person in front of me is no longer the person he was at that time, and he has already lost his original intention in the ups and downs of officialdom.

He thought of Zhu Shangbing's handsome face in his memory. The feud between the two had already been buried before they came to prominence. Now the latter has a good relationship with Zhu Yunxi.

It can be said to be a difference of thought.

Thinking about this, he no longer looked away, lowered his head, and replied with a strong voice.

"The guilty subject shall be punished!"

A generation of princes has come to an end.

Several guards came and took him away. Zhu Yuanzhang kept his promise and did not attack his family, but they were all dismissed from their official positions.

Deng Zhen stood in the distance watching Lan Yu's retreating figure, and took a deep breath. If Zhu Shangbing hadn't helped him, he would have ended up like this.

…

Inside Fengtian Hall.

Looking at the unconscious Zhu Shangbing, Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth and couldn't help but question the imperial doctor who had been treating him.

"This kid usually jumps three feet high and seldom gets sick. Why isn't he awake yet? Didn't you look carefully?"

Everyone present was silent, including Zhu Xi, who had been worried, but he was even more surprised and wondering, why did his old man suddenly treat the brat so well?

When things go wrong, there must be monsters.

He wanted to ask, but who knew...

Several coughs interrupted his train of thought, and Zhu Shangbing, who was originally drowsy, squinted his eyes.

His eyes rolled, and he finally said a word after a long while.

"It's so lively."

The worried people who came here suddenly smiled, and now they were awake and still had the energy to joke with them.

Due to the busy government affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken away by Du Andao not long after. The reluctant expression before leaving made Zhu Shangbing look evil, and he couldn't help but ask the people around him.

"Did Grandpa Huang take the wrong medicine?"

puff--

The tea he had been drinking in his mouth suddenly spurted out. Zhu Xi looked at the unkempt son in front of him in embarrassment, and a few black lines could not help but appear on his forehead.

I'm afraid the current saint is the only one who dares to say that.

but……

"I feel the same way. Your grandpa has been taking care of me personally these days. Even I am not as considerate as him."

Thinking back on it, Zhu Xi felt even more panicked. Was a disaster imminent?

Hearing this, the man lying on the bed was also very excited.

It's so weird.

After struggling for a long time, Zhu Shangbing finally raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Ping.

"Dad, how about we escape."

I think so too!

Zhu Xi didn't think so, but he glanced sideways at someone who was recovering from his injuries on the bed and sighed.

When the latter heard this, he realized what was going on, and suddenly thought of four words.

You can't escape even if you have wings.

Could it be that he really wanted to be slaughtered in this palace?

no!

"Xiao Zhu, don't make things so complicated. Let's listen to what your grandpa Huang did."

Just when he was thinking about how to escape from here, Li Jing's voice suddenly came to his mind.

Zhu Shangbing, who was looking for an opportunity to ask, didn't take the initiative to speak when the person next to him spoke.

"This time it was Lan Yu who did it. I really don't know where he made the mistake. But this time, thanks to your grandpa, I was able to solve it so quickly and avoid future troubles."

Never suffer future troubles?

Zhu Shangbing vaguely guessed something. He was about to ask more questions when a voice came from outside.

"Good boy, you don't know how miserable Lan Yu is."

It's Deng Town.

He walked towards this side with a golden sword on his horse, his face was indescribably happy. The two had been at odds with each other for a long time, so when they saw something happen to the other, they were naturally happy in their hearts.

but……

I saw that person quickly approaching Zhu Shangbing and whispering mysteriously in his ear.

"Grand nephew, tell your uncle honestly, is it true that the emperor has already planned to make you his grandson? Otherwise, why are you so angry?"

He told the story of what happened in the court in vivid detail, describing Zhu Yuanzhang's anger to the fullest.

Little did he know that the person speaking had already appeared behind him.

Originally he wanted to take a look at Zhu Shangbing, but he suddenly heard someone talking about the morning court outside. Zhu Yuanzhang walked forward with a gentle step, standing behind the person.

"I must say that His Majesty loves you as his grandson the most. Otherwise, why would he have punished so many people for you? You have to give our old Deng family some excuse."

Deng Zhen smiled and spoke from his heart, completely unaware of the strange look on the faces of the two people in front of him.

I was still standing there expecting a response, but as soon as I finished speaking, a voice came from behind me.

"It's a pity that this brat belongs to our old Zhu family. You, a boy from the Deng family, are really rude."

Finished!

Deng Zhen turned his head to face the familiar face, screaming in his heart, but looking as calm as an old dog, he bowed respectfully.

Before he could speak, he was choked by the words of the person in front of him.

"I can't bear it. All the children of our old Zhu family are going to be abducted by you. There is no need to be so polite."

Zhu Yuanzhang joked with a playful smile in his eyes.

At first, he only thought that this Deng boy was old-fashioned, but he acted in front of him. Now he doesn't look like the vigorous and resolute person in the court.

Prince Qin and his son looked eagerly at Deng Zhen's begging for help.

"Okay, I won't kid you. Lan Yu is indeed responsible for what happened this time. Next, I have something to entrust to you and King Qin. The two of you are responsible for removing Lan Yu's gang members."

When he said this, he did not take into account that Zhu Shangbing was still at the scene, and directly gave instructions to Deng Zhen and Zhu Ping.

Who is this trying to clear the way for?

Zhu Yunwen?

The shock in Zhu Shangbing's eyes was well concealed under his eyelashes. He originally thought that Zhu Yunwen's performance would definitely not be accepted by Zhu Yuanzhang, but who knew that he had underestimated the love between the two of them.

According to the development, he will be the biggest stumbling block, and he will be the number one target for reducing the vassal in the future.

Damn it...

His sweet and sour mood suddenly turned bitter, and he was about to cry without tears as he listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's deployment, as if death was waving to him.

After putting the matter into action, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately sat on the bedside and looked at Zhu Shangbing, who was pale.

"Why does your face look worse than before? Do you want to call a doctor?"

Listening to the concerned voice in his ears, Zhu Shangbing kept struggling in his heart.

This is not a physical problem, it is a psychological problem!
