In June, the cloudy weather was covered with no wind and extremely hot. In less than half a day today, Zhu Gaochi had already been doing a lot of things. He was busy changing clothes to Kunning Palace. After moving for a while, his face was covered in sweat and his face was very red.

Zhu Gaochi didn't sleep well last night, but now he feels a little dizzy and his physical strength is gradually getting a little exhausted.

After changing his clothes, Zhu Gaochi washed his face again. At this moment, the second sergeant came back.

The sergeant who had chased out of the tunnel was Tan Qing's subordinates, and there were two people. The first one came back first and reported that the King of Han went to the military camp outside the city; the other one was only back now.

The visitor reported: "The King of Han went to the military camp and shouted, took the horse and ran to Fengtai Gate south of the outer city. His personal soldiers also rushed out of the city. The King of Han shouted in public under the city, saying, saying..."

"What?" Zhu Gaochi asked.

The soldier who had just entered the hall stammered: "When the young man arrived at Fengtai Gate, the King of Han had already left with his men. When the young man heard what others said, the King of Han shouted, he was probably slandering people, saying that the people in the Eastern Palace were planning a mutiny, harming the emperor, and even harming the King of Han..."

Although Zhu Gaochi had been prepared for a long time and was about to be slandered and misunderstood, he suddenly felt dizzy when he heard this. Not only was he angry, he also felt a sense of fear from his bones.

Zhang's voice seemed to become illusory, sometimes far and sometimes near, and her voice said: "Crown Prince, you are the head of the family, the crown prince, I and many people respect the crown prince and rely on the crown prince! You have been the crown prince for many years and have been doing very well for several years. You must keep calm at this critical moment!"

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he immediately remembered the forbearance, grievance and persistence he had been doing for many years! He gritted his teeth and the surrounding scene gradually became clear. The single eyelid eyes of the Crown Princess Zhang appeared in front of him, and his eyes were full of encouragement.

"Yes!" Zhu Gaochi looked at the Crown Princess' eyes and nodded vigorously.

Zhang said: "The prince doesn't care about so much, do the most important thing first and go to see the queen."

Zhu Gaochi then took a long breath and walked towards the door. Zhang also followed and whispered beside him: "I will be in the same car as the prince in a while and tell you what to say."

So the group followed the prince's chariot and left Chunhe Hall and entered from the small gate to the east behind Jinshen Hall. Early in the morning, Yuan Gong and others were responsible for guarding this gate.

Everyone went in and immediately saw the Ganqing Gate. The eunuchs guarding the Ganqing Gate had already faintly smelled the atmosphere at this time. They stood there tremblingly, bent down very low, most of them did not say a word, and only one eunuch said tremblingly: "I, please pay homage to the prince and the princess."

Several ministers who followed him stopped outside the Ganqing Gate. There was the harem area inside. The prince was about to get off the car and walk, but the prince's concubine gently pressed him down. So, under the eunuchs of the Ganqing Gate, the prince's chariot went straight into the harem.

When they arrived at the base outside Kunning Palace, Zhu Gaochi and the Crown Princess got out of the car. The Crown Princess knelt on the ground, looked up at Zhu Gaochi with a look of expectation for a long time.

With the support of the eunuch, Zhu Gaochi walked up to the stage with difficulty, then knelt at the door of Kunning Palace and said, "I want to see my mother!"

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged palace woman walked to the door and bent her knees and said, "The Empress asks the Prince to come and speak."

Zhu Gaochi kowtowed and said, "Yes."

He walked into Kunning Palace carefully and came to Empress Xu's bed. Empress Xu opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Gaochi who was bent over, then stretched out her hand and waved her weakly, "We mother and son have something to say."

All the eunuchs and palace maids around bowed their knees and left Kunning Palace one after another.

Soon, only mother and son were left in the huge hall room. The air was filled with pungent smell of medicine, and there was a silence. Empress Xu said first: "It seems that something happened in the palace. I know you are coming."

Zhu Gaochi knelt in front of the bed with a "thump" and choked, "My mother, you are in peace. After hearing this, you must think about it with mercy! My son is unfilial..."

Queen Xu said in her voice: "I'll say it."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Last night, the father went to the East Palace to see Zhanji, and the son-in-law had just returned to Chunhe Palace... When the father saw Zhanji was crushing clay figures, he asked his close servant Wang Gou'er to go to the pool to grab mud and want to play with Zhanji. Unexpectedly, there was an iron needle in the mud! Later, the son-in-law hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor to treat him, and the imperial doctor said that the silver ring snake venom was soaked on the iron needle..."

"Cough cough cough..." Queen Xu coughed violently.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped his mother's mouth. Tears were flowing all over his face, and he kept saying: "My son is not filial, but my son is not filial...My mother?My mother!"

Queen Xu didn't faint, and she didn't cry, but tears flowed straight to the pillow.

Zhu Gaochi didn't continue talking, knelt in front of the bed, lowering his head and wiped his tears.

Empress Xu muttered something, but her voice was as thin as a fancy thread and she couldn't hear it clearly. Zhu Gaochi quickly put his head closer, but he still didn't hear it.

After a while, Empress Xu yelled a little louder: "I can't die yet!" After a while, she asked again, "Have your father broken?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded, gritted his teeth and choked, "Yes!" Then he hurriedly said, "You are Erchen's biological mother, and you must know what kind of person Erchen is. The father came to the East Palace last night for a temporary purpose. The father rarely came, and the son never knew that his father would make clay people. The father had many servants around him at that time. What kind of evil people did was the one who killed the gods? Erchen was still investigating..."

"Don't talk about this for now." Queen Xu gasped and said in a trembling voice.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said, "Yes."

Empress Xu looked at the top of the silk tent with her eyes straight, and the hall room was terrifyingly quiet for a moment.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi said again: "My son has done something stupid! This morning, Gao Xu escorted the captives of Annan Kingdom into the capital. When he came to the palace, Mr. Chen wanted to catch him... But Gao Xu didn't know where to learn that there was a secret passage under Fengxian Hall. Jianwen might have escaped from that secret passage. Gao Xu also ran away on the secret passage."

"You..." Empress Xu turned her head, "You are the crown prince, why do you do such a stupid thing?"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said, "My mother scolded her well! My son regretted it too late, but it was too late. My father suddenly... My son was panicked and lost his mind for a moment.

But at that time, the minister was really sad and scared! Gao Xu made great contributions and did help his father a lot, but he was not made the crown prince. The minister knew that he was very wronged and could not help but feel dissatisfied. The emperor suddenly passed away in the Eastern Palace. If the minister told Gao Xu honestly, could Gao Xu give up?

My son had no choice! But the great sorrow that was so bolt from the blue happened in the East Palace. My son never expected how to explain it clearly now?

My son is just very afraid. In fact, whether it is the crown prince or who inherits the throne in the future, my son doesn’t care much. But my son is born as the eldest son of his father and mother. If his younger brother takes over the power, if it is Gao Xu... My son will not live. Anyway, he is so fat, his legs and feet are not smooth, and it is meaningless to live! But your grandson Zhanji, Zhanji, is so pitiful. Gao Xu and his children and grandchildren may not be able to sleep or eat, and they will definitely destroy one of the clans in the future!"

Zhu Gaochi wiped his tears with his sleeve, "Even if my son caught Gao Xu this morning, he never thought that he could not do anything to his brothers. He just wanted to stabilize the situation first. Then he cut off Gao Xu's military power and grant him a wealthy place like Yangzhou, Suzhou or Hangzhou. Everyone can enjoy peace with peace."

Queen Xu still didn't say anything, and she just sighed "ah" when she heard this.

After a while of silence, Zhu Gaochi nagged softly: "My mother knows her son best. She has no big ambitions, she just wants relatives and friends. The people in the world are very peaceful and stable, and they are safe and stable.

Previously, Jianwen and his son hid in Yunnan and fell down the mountain when they were found out... Since Jianwen was dead, the ministers still thought that those Jianwen Yu and the party could pardon them in the future would be pardoned. It turned out that everyone was a family, and a big battle was fought, and hatred was over. It was useless to remember them now.

Like my uncle (Xu Huizu), there was nothing wrong with me, and I just wanted to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king. My father was generous to him, so he only cut off his title and lived well at home. My son wanted to restore my uncle's title and let him continue to be an official in the Governor's Office of the Five Army..."

"You...ah!" Empress Xu finally spoke three words.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said, "My son has really thought about it before. When the father is angry in a few years, maybe the father will do the same."

Death is the greatest, and Zhu Gaochi's words were to say good things to his father. In fact, Xu Huizu repeatedly threatened Emperor Yongle, which almost made the "Jingnan Battle" completely fail. Yongle had long wanted to kill Xu Huizu; but due to Empress Xu's affection, he just endured it for the time being. After all, Xu Huizu is the eldest son of the Xu family and is very respected and loved by the elder sisters and younger brothers.

But as long as Empress Xu is not alive, Xu Huizu will definitely die! Zhu Gaochi and the Crown Princess Zhang have long figured out these things, and perhaps Empress Xu, who is lying on the bed, also knows it.

Of course, if King Zhu Gaoxu of Han took up the throne, Xu Huizu would not have survived. Because the uncle had started to speak bad things about Gao Xu in front of Taizu since the Hongwu period; later, before and after the "Jingnan Battle" broke out, he had been unable to get along with Gao Xu; if Gao Xu could take power, it would be the new and old hatreds that would have been calculated together!

After Zhu Gaochi said that, he kowtowed three times on the floor tiles, crying: "My son came here today, in addition to telling the truth to his mother, he also came to say goodbye. My son was unable to explain clearly, and he made a fool of himself and did something wrong. I'm sorry for my second brother, I'm afraid he will be ruined! I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet my mother for the last time in the future... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

After crying, he knelt in front of the bed, just cried and stopped saying a word.

Empress Xu was a little unable to maintain her strength and didn't speak for a long time. There was only a sad whimper in Kunning Palace, which was very miserable.
