Chapter 145 Why don’t you see that grandson has some conscience!

Zhu Yunxi had an ominous premonition when he heard this. Wouldn't the old man want to change his mind again?

Fortunately, I had just saved a hand and asked the old man to establish the certificate in advance, otherwise it would be really unclear.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson also knows a crime that is more applicable to this case than the one you mentioned!"

"What crime?"

Although Lao Zhu cannot memorize the Ming Dynasty Rules backwards, there is absolutely no problem in memorizing them straight forward.

He felt that the one-size-fits-all crime of "crime of deceiving the emperor" was very appropriate, and he couldn't think of any other crime that would be more appropriate.

"Grandpa Huang, have you forgotten? There is another person who wants to be blamed. Why bother?"

"You always want to deliberately find trouble and beat me up, right?"

No matter how thick-skinned Lao Zhu is, he blushed in embarrassment when he heard what the grandson said. The grandson reacted too quickly, and he saw through it so quickly!

"Ahem!"

"Nonsense, when did we deliberately find trouble!"

"You are slandering Your Majesty!"

"Come on, bring us our whip!"

Seeing His Majesty like this, Qin Deshun couldn't stand it anymore, so he just pouted to the side and asked the young eunuch to get the whip for the emperor.

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his face became even more sad and angry, but he did not dare to resist, so he could only lie on the stool aggrievedly and be beaten.

After Lao Zhu beat Zhu Yunxi to tears again, he planned to secretly burn the note he had just written while he was going to apply for medicine. Unexpectedly, the grandson was beaten so much that he cried and didn't forget about it.

After getting up, I ran over and took the note away...

Before leaving, he didn't forget to make a face at himself, as if he had already seen through his tricks.

Lao Zhu was so depressed that he angrily ran to the harem to find comfort without waiting for the turtle grandson to come back.

After Concubine Guo Hui asked Qin Deshun if the emperor would not come to her place today, she ordered the palace servants to lock up the palace early and planned to rest early.

However, just as she was taking off her hairpin and jewelry and was about to take a rest, she suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside the palace.

Guo Huifei quickly ordered someone to open the door. When she saw it was Lao Zhu, her face immediately became as bright as a smile.

"Why did the emperor remember that I am in the palace?"

Lao Zhu scolded with a dark face.

"Why are you locking the door in the palace? Besides us, who else in this palace dares to enter your door in the middle of the night!"

As soon as Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she knew that the emperor was angry somewhere and came to her to seek comfort.

"Be careful, the emperor is in a bad mood today!"

"promise……"

Concubine Guo Hui ordered the palace servants and hurriedly caught up with the emperor and asked teasingly.

"Yo yo yo!"

"Who is so bold as to make the emperor so angry?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu kicked the door angrily and then sat down on the imperial concubine's chair in the main hall of Changning Palace, breathing heavily.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's your little Xie Xie!"

Guo Huifei asked carefully while pouring a bowl of herbal tea for Lao Zhu.

"What's wrong with little Xiexi?"

"Isn't he very well-behaved recently? I haven't heard of him causing any trouble. Why is he so angry with you?"

Lao Zhu took the tea from Guo Huifei, drank it all in one gulp like a cow's drink, and then poured out the bitter water with Guo Huifei.

"You know, if we don't say anything about that child, it would be good to the core."

"But this kid actually hides his secrets from us. He could have written the words well by tomorrow, but he has to trick me and coax us with ugly words every day!"

"He just coaxed us into writing a note, saying that as long as he writes well, he will be let out of the palace to live..."

The more Lao Zhu talked about it, the more aggrieved he became, and by the end he even had red circles in his eyes.

"Tell me, we haven't had it so easy even against the benchmark, why can't we warm up this child's heart!"

Guo Hui finally understood. It was not enough for his grandson to drag Zhu Gui off, and he actually asked the emperor himself about moving out.

It's no wonder that the emperor is angry. In order not to disturb the grandson, the emperor gave up the entire Qianqing Palace and went to the harem every day.

However, the grandson didn't appreciate it and wanted to move out every day!

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Little Xiexi is still young and doesn't understand your hard work. You must not be as knowledgeable as him!"

Lao Zhu felt even more aggrieved when he heard this.

"Guo Hui, tell me, are we not good enough for him? Why doesn't he understand?"

Guo Hui couldn't help curling her lips when she heard this, and secretly thought to herself that you were very kind to Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang back then. Didn't you just kill them as soon as you asked...

However, she only dared to criticize this in her heart, but did not dare to say it out loud.

Although Lao Zhu doted on her very much, she was just playing petty tricks and would never interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty.

"Your Majesty, my concubine can guess a little bit of what's on Xiao Xie's mind. I wonder if you want to hear it?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, his ears immediately stood up.

"tell me the story!"

"promise……"

Guo Huifei brewed her emotions and said.

"Your Majesty knows that my concubine also lost her mother when she was born and her father when she was young."

"Although you and Sister Ma are taking care of me, I was still very timid and fearful when I was a child. I was afraid of causing trouble to others and making others hate me..."

Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Hmph!"

"That Nisun is very bold. He falsely conveyed the imperial edict and deceived the emperor. He used my own grandfather to fight with Huang Zicheng, and even hid his hidden agenda from me..."

Seeing Lao Zhu interjecting, Concubine Guo Hui couldn't help but said angrily.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me tell you?"

"Oh, you say it, you say it, we are listening!"

"When I was a child, I didn't dare to say that I was thirsty or hungry. Even if I didn't like the food, I didn't dare to show it. I would only pretend to like it and eat it..."

“And I don’t feel safe yet. I always feel panicked.”

"Didn't you just ask me why I keep locking the door? This is all the fault of being a child without a father and a mother. If you don't lock the door, you will feel uneasy..."

"It was only later that I got older and became more familiar with you and Sister Ma, so I became a little bolder."

"I dare to pester you to act coquettishly, I dare to pester Sister Ma for delicious food, I dare to bully my nephew, hehe..."

The eldest nephew mentioned by Concubine Guo was naturally Zhu Biao. She was a few years older than Zhu Biao and she often teased Zhu Biao when she was a child.

After hearing this, Lao Zhu's heart suddenly moved, and his mind suddenly thought of the scene when he had dinner with his eldest grandson for the first time.

There were many dishes on the table at that time, some of which even he, the emperor, did not like to eat, but the eldest grandson refused to eat them all and ate them with gusto.

Moreover, I have been with this grandson for so long, and I have almost never heard him say anything about what he wants. He always eats what he wants, and he is never picky about food.

He used to think that the child had a good appetite and was just greedy. Now when he heard Guo Hui say this, he suddenly felt sour in his heart.

There are no children who are not picky about food. It’s just that our eldest grandson doesn’t dare to tell us because he doesn’t want to cause trouble to us...

Although Lao Zhu has listened, he still feels a little unhappy when he thinks that Zhu Yunxi always wants to move out.

"We have also lost our parents since we were young, and we are not as ignorant as that grandson..."

After hearing this, Concubine Guo Hui hurriedly advised.

"My lord, how old were you back then? How can you compare with this child?"

"Let me tell you this, I grew up beside you and Sister Ma. I feel a little inferior in my heart, and I dare not say anything about what is on my mind."

"If you think about it, little Xiexi was raised by his stepmother, Mrs. Lu, and it won't affect your heart at all?"

"Actually, I always fantasized about moving out and living on my own when I was a child. It's just that you and Sister Ma were so kind to me that I was embarrassed to mention it..."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu said angrily again.

"We are very kind to that grandson. Why don't you see that grandson has some conscience?"

Seeing Lao Zhu say this, Concubine Guo Hui immediately chuckled.

"Yes, you are so kind to that child. It has been less than a month since I moved to your place, and you have already beaten him three or four times, right?"

Lao Zhu was exposed by Concubine Guo Hui, and his face turned red with shame. But he had a habit of refusing to admit his mistakes, and he still remained stubborn.
