Queen Mother Sun stared at him for a while and said in a gentle tone: "Master, the Ai family is discussing with you. If you have to tear each other's faces apart, there is really no room for a turnaround."

"What does the Empress Dowager mean?" Zhu Qiyu was stunned.

At this time, Jin Ying stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there was an assassin in Yongle Palace last night. He wanted to assassinate the Prince. Otherwise, the Prince of the Prince would be rescued in time, so the Prince of the Prince might..." He did not say any further.

"What happened?" Zhu Qiyu stood up suddenly, "Who did it? Did the assassination man get it?"

"Does the emperor hope he will be captured?" Queen Doctor Sun glanced at him and said.

"Is the Queen Mother suspicious of me?"

"The Ai family dare not speak nonsense," Empress Dowager Sun narrowed her eyes, "but there was no one else in the prince's uterus except Wan Zhen'er, and there was not even a guard. Even the lady and the bedroom of the selected servant would not be so negligent, right?"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Qiyu widened his eyes, "I...I really don't know."

"It's okay if the emperor knows it or not," said Empress Dowager Sun. "See Shen is not your son, and the Ai family cannot be demanding that you love the house and the Wu. But if you have such a big negligence, if you know it outside, you will inevitably be criticized. According to the Ai family's intention, I will raise the prince in Renshou Palace..."

"Empress Dowager, no!" Zhu Qiyu knelt in front of her, "I will definitely find out the truth about the assassination of the prince. If the empress do this, wouldn't it be confirmed that I was not kind to the prince?"

Queen Mother Sun sighed, "The emperor misunderstood. The Ai family did not blame the emperor, but wanted to share the worries for the emperor, the prince..."

"I will treat the prince well," Zhu Qiyu touched the ground with his forehead. "Please don't worry about the empress dowager. If I have bad intentions, the heaven and earth will kill him."

"Is the Emperor making things difficult for Ai's family?"

"I have no face to be a monarch anymore when the Empress Dowager guesses me like this. I ask the Empress Dowager to issue an imperial edict to exempt me from the throne, and I will never complain."

The palace calmed down. After about a cup of tea, Empress Dowager Sun sighed, "Well, since the emperor insisted, it is not easy for the Ai family to say anything else. However, if the prince stays at Ai's house for a few days, the emperor will not object, right?"

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a while and said, "If the Empress Dowager is happy, let the Prince be here to accompany you for a few days!"

"Okay," a hint of tiredness appeared on Empress Dowager Sun's face, "If the Ai family is tired, I won't bother the emperor to handle state affairs. The emperor will go now!"

"Yes, the Queen Mother." Zhu Qiyu stood up and was about to leave Renshou Palace. He was stopped by the Queen Mother Sun, "What are your plans for Xiyuan's marriage?"

"Xiyuan?" Zhu Qiyu was stunned.

"She is the eldest princess of my Ming Dynasty," Queen Mother Sun reminded him: "After the New Year, she will be fifteen years old. Don't you plan to choose a prince consort for her?"

"I've been busy with state affairs for a while," Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Will you wait for Xiyuan's affairs?"

"Emperor," Queen Mother Sun's voice became stern, "It would be fine if you don't take the matter of the prince to heart, but do you have selfish thoughts on the matter of the company princess?"

"What selfishness?" Zhu Qiyu was stunned, "I don't understand the empress dowager's meaning."

"Don't you understand?" Queen Mother Sun snorted, "I'm afraid no one knows how Xiyuan met Yang Muyun better than you, right? If you hadn't taken Xiyuan to Nandu privately, how could she be entangled with Yang Muyun?"

"It turns out that the Empress Dowager is referring to this matter." Zhu Qiyu thought to himself.

"You can use that Yang Muyun, and you can't help it. The Ai family is not easy to ask about," said Queen Mother Sun. "But once he has a wife, he still has a relationship with the eldest princess. Are you afraid of damaging the royal face?"

"Did Xiyuan still have contacts with that Yang Muyun? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Queen Mother Sun looked at him calmly and said for a while: "You summoned Yang Muyun into the palace, and in a blink of an eye he went to Xiyuan's place again. Don't you know?"

"Oh?" Zhu Qiyu faced the queen mother's gaze and said innocently: "Is there any such thing? I will send someone to check it out immediately..."

"No need," Queen Mother Sun interrupted him and said, "Because of Xiyuan and Yang Muyun's affairs, the Ai family and the Supreme Emperor have been worried about it, and now it has fallen on you again. You also know Xiyuan's temperament. If you keep thinking about it, you will inevitably do something more extraordinary. Only by marrying her out can everything calm down, what does the emperor think?"

"The Queen Mother...the Queen Mother is right."

When Empress Dowager Sun heard that he was a little disheartened, she became even more angry, "Are you trying to stand up for them? Well, as long as Yang Muyun divorces his wife, the Ai family will agree to his marriage with Xiyuan. What does the emperor think?"

"This... the Queen Mother wants me to use my power to suppress others?"

"It's not that the Ai family makes it difficult for you to do, but this matter must be settled," Empress Dowager Sun's voice became louder and louder. "When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he demoted Yang Muyun again and again, just because he didn't want them to have any more connections. But you repeatedly promoted and used him, not only appointing him as the Minister of War, but also named him Jingchang Bo. Do you want him to have a better chance to get close to Xiyuan?"

"I...I definitely have no intention."

"The Ai family doesn't care whether you mean this or not," Empress Dowager Sun stared at him and said, "Ai family doesn't want to see Xiyuan have any relationship with him again... After the Chinese New Year, you will find a marriage for Xiyuan. If the emperor feels too busy to handle it, then the Ai family can do it for him."

"I understand," Zhu Qiyu said: "I will never bother the Queen Mother."

"Well..." Empress Dowager Sun nodded and said, "Since you have become the emperor, you should be in mind and not be able to do anything willful."

"What? You said that His Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated in his palace?" After the banquet, Yang Muyun and Ning Zuer were very surprised to learn about this when they were talking in private.

"Brother Yang," Ning Zuer shook his head and said, "You can know this, don't tell others."

"Young Master Kenning, why do you want to tell me this?"

Ning Zuer glanced at him, "I want to ask Brother Yang for something."

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Yang can transfer me to your Ministry of War?"

"Young Master Ning is coming to my Ministry of War?" Yang Muyun's eyes showed a strange look. "Your Master Ning is talking and joking again? You have been doing well in the commander's commander of the Jinyiwei. How could you think of coming to my Ministry of War? Brother Zhu Ji will sooner or later take the position of commander, and you will also become a success by then. How could you have such an idea?"

"Brother Yang doesn't know," Ning Zuer smiled bitterly, "I've got something I shouldn't have to do. The future is uncertain, so how can I say that I can make a fortune?"

"Mr. Ning was talking about what happened last night?"

Ning Zuer nodded, "Since King Hui ascended the throne, the prince is still the lineage of the Supreme Emperor. This is very interesting!"

"It means to make the son of the Supreme Emperor the crown prince," Yang Muyun frowned.

, "Is it because the emperor was dissatisfied, so he did it intentionally?"

"It's hard to say!" Ning Zuer sighed: "This palace dispute cannot be participated by a little person like me. I don't know what's going on in a bad situation? I originally wanted to apply for transfer back to Nansi, but I was afraid that it would implicate my adoptive father, so..."

"So you want me to think of a solution for you?" Yang Muyun smiled.

"If Brother Yang feels trouble, just pretend I didn't say it."

"Young Master Ning is underestimating me, Mr. Yang," said Yang Muyun: "It is not an exaggeration to use your friendship to both sides. But how can you transfer your Young Master Ning to my Ministry of War without any trace? I have to go back and plan carefully."

"My request made Brother Yang embarrassed."

"It's impossible to make a difficult situation," Yang Muyun thought for a while and said, "But can Mr. Ning abandon the prosperity of the capital?"

"What does Brother Yang mean?"

"Young Master Ning," Yang Muyun said seriously: "My Ministry of War and the Jinyiwei have similar responsibilities. They are not allowed to stop at night. They are specialized in spying on the enemy's situation and need to go deep into the desert grasslands and stay with the Tartar herders all year round. I wonder if Young Master Ning is willing?"

"Brother Yang would be grateful if he could help Ning." The implication was to agree to Yang Muyun's arrangement.

"Okay," said Yang Muyun: "In a few days, I will write to Commander Lu to ask him for some elites as intelligence that he can't accept at night. As long as Mr. Ning volunteers, this matter will be done."

"Thank you so much for Brother Yang!"

"Young Master Ning," Yang Muyun stared at him and said, "There is one thing that has been in my heart for several years, and I really don't vomit."

"What's the matter?"

"You... have you really never liked Perilla?"

"Do you think I have always had an affair with her," Ning Zuer faced his gaze calmly, "Maybe you don't understand me..." As he said that, he grabbed his hand with a deep face, "Actually, I'm not interested in women, I like men."

Yang Muyun's face became weird and he quickly pulled back his hand, "Young Master Ning is drunk, so it's better to go back early to rest!"

————————————

As soon as he left Renshou Palace, Zhu Qiyu was furious, "Whose idea is this? How dare he treat the prince like this without hiding it? Is it to trap me for being unkind and unrighteous?"

"Don't calm down," Cheng Jing advised from the side: "Don't be so angry."

"Go and send someone to investigate me well," Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "Dig out the envoy behind the scenes for me, I... I want to kill him all over!"

"Yes," Cheng Jing responded while waiting for him to calm down, and said, "Emperor, the Empress Dowager has preconceived the matter, thinking that it was the Emperor's instructor. Even if the Emperor finds the person behind the scenes to bring it to justice, the Empress Dowager will think that the Emperor is killing people to silence him and try his best to clear himself."

Zhu Qiyu glared at him with a strong breath, "What do you think you should do? Should I take the blame?"

"Emperor," Cheng Jing said carefully: "You and the Empress Dowager are not mother and son. In her eyes, the throne belongs to the Emperor, and you should not get involved."
