"Master, the slave will put some rouge on you. Xun Ying put Ma Xiuying in a good bun and quietly hid a large handful of fallen hair into her sleeve pocket. Ma Xiuying's hair has been completely white in the past few months, even if Xunying is ingenious, she can't find black hair to cover it, and Ma Xiuying also loses her hair frequently, every morning Xunying has to pick up all the white hair before Ma Xiuying opens her eyes.

"Yes. Ma Xiuying frowned slightly when she looked at the person who was as white as a ghost in the bronze mirror, and she didn't know if her appearance would scare Dao Yan.

Xun Ying quickly smeared, making Ma Xiuying's face finally look a little bloody.

"What about the prince?" this is what Ma Xiuying must ask every day when she wakes up.

Xun Ying replied, "Don't worry, the prince, he will come to see you when he comes down,"

Although Zhu Xiongying passed away, the operation of the imperial court will not stop because of the death of an imperial grandson, and it is still as busy as before.

Ma Xiuying sighed, in the past, Zhu Biao only went to the court occasionally, but now Zhu Yuanzhang has to let him participate in every court meeting, obviously the expectations for him are even more than before, but the more this happens, the more Zhu Biao will be tired. She said sullenly: "Let the prince go back to the East Palace to rest after leaving the court, and you don't have to go back and forth." Is the crown princess better?"

After the funeral for Zhu Xiongying, Chang Meirong fell ill, she was already very sad, Zhu Biao complained that she listened to Li Qi'er's words and planted poisonous flowers to her very coldly, but this woman lost her son and her husband's favor, and died of panic and depression all day long, and no one to relieve and comfort her, so she became ill.

Xun Ying was still a little angry that Chang Meirong wanted to put the responsibility on Ma Xiuying's head that day, and said nonchalantly: "I heard that I have been getting better after taking medicine in the past two days." ”

"It is estimated that those poisonous pollen are also harmful to her body, after all, they are exposed to it every day. Ma Xiuying suddenly paused in the middle of speaking, Zhu Xiongying died of poisonous pollen, and Chang Meirong's health began to be poor, what about Zhu Biao...... She has always been reluctant to think deeply, Dao Yan said that it was okay and she was willing to believe that it was okay, but when she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she was extremely scary.

Her hands began to tremble, trying her best to suppress the panic in her heart, "Go and call Dao Yan." ”

Dao Yan repeated the lie once a day, "The prince is fine, he has been taking medicine for many years, and those medicines have a defensive effect on poisonous pollen. There were too many lies, and he was not as nervous as the first time, but more and more calm.

Ma Xiuying couldn't find a flaw on his face, he was skeptical, remembered something, and said, "You take the time to see Yun Wei...... The child also did not know if he had inhaled poisonous pollen. ”

For Zhu Yunwen, Ma Xiuying's mood is very conflicted, that is Zhu Biao's child, her grandson, she should love it, but Zhu Yunwen's birth shows that her nightmare is gradually coming true, she is a little afraid to see Zhu Yunwen, every time she sees Zhu Yunwen, it seems that history is approaching step by step with malice.

"Don't worry, I have checked the second grandson of the emperor, they live in the side hall, and they rarely come to the main hall, so they don't have much contact with poisonous pollen. "Dao Yan once went to see Zhu Yunwen in person in the name of consultation, the child was similar to the children of ordinary people, white and fat, but there was nothing particularly unusual.

"That's good. Ma Xiuying lowered her eyes and was speechless for a long time, what else can be done to prevent history from reappearing?

The news of Li Qi'er's punishment only reached Fengyang a few months later, Zhu Di was shocked to hear the bad news and spit out a mouthful of blood, he never expected that less than a year after leaving Beijing, Li Qi'er would fall, and he could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum after death, and even his life and past were erased by Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

Although it is clearly written in the secret report that Li Qi'er was sentenced to death and stripped of his title because he murdered the prince and the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Di still can't hide his grief, Li Qi'er poisoned the prince for him!

Thinking of Li Qi'er's careful care for him, his ardent expectations, and the silent doing of so many things behind his back, he was sad, why was his mother so stupid, and put her life on the line for him, an unfilial son.

Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu, the guards who had followed Zhu Di for many years, looked at each other and persuaded in unison: "King Yan, now is not the time to be sad, you need to think about how to resolve the emperor's anger, and your subordinates have heard rumors in Beijing that the emperor will demote you to a commoner." ”

"Depreciate it, it's better to give Lone a death, and let Lone Hao accompany his mother. Zhu Di said in despair. However, saying this, he was unwilling in his heart, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's own son, so Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to treat him like this?

"King Yan, don't be angry, think about it...... The old lady's dedication. Zhang Yu was going to say that Concubine Niangniang, but when she thought that Li Qi'er was stripped of her title, she subconsciously turned into an old lady.

"What old lady, that's the lonely concubine!" Zhu Di roared, his blood-red eyes as if he was about to eat someone.

Zhu Neng hurriedly said: "King Yan, you have to keep your title first, and then you will have the opportunity to rehabilitate Concubine Niangniang." ”

These words gave Zhu Di a step, and he stared at him, "Immediately gather Deng Yong and the others, and discuss this matter with them." ”

Deng Yong is a subordinate official of the Yan Palace, he and other staff gathered in the study, their expressions were extremely solemn, they devoted themselves to Zhu Di's command, destined to be both prosperous and lossy, if Zhu Di was really demoted to the common people, it is conceivable that they are no better.

Everyone's purpose is very clear, no matter what rumors there are in the capital, the top priority is to remove Zhu Di from Li Qi'er's murder of the emperor's heir, and ensure that Zhu Di will not be affected.

Zhu Di's good popularity in the past has played a full role at this moment. Many meritorious ministers have written to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to calm his anger and forgive King Yan, all of whom said that King Yan had been away for many years and would never collude with the palace; and that King Yan was pure and filial, respected his elders and loved his brothers, and everyone could see it......

Zhu Di also sent gifts and a letter of self-reproach at this time, he did not mention Li Qi'er in the letter, only said that he was sorry for the queen and the prince, and was willing to degrade himself to atone for the common people.

The officials' repeated pleas and Zhu Di's self-reproach made Zhu Yuanzhang begin to waver. People say that tigers don't eat their children, does he really want to cut off everything Zhu Di because of Li Qi'er? That is his favorite son besides Zhu Biao.

But how should Ma Xiuying explain it, Ma Xiuying insisted that Li Qi'er murdered Zhu Biao in order to make Zhu Di the prince, and said that if Zhu Di was not demoted to a commoner, he would simply give Zhu Biao the position of prince to Zhu Di.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang would not agree to this kind of anger, but in order not to stimulate Ma Xiuying, he agreed to consider it.

After a few days of ideological struggle, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Kunning Palace and said to Ma Xiuying: "Empress, I have found out that Di'er really does not know about the poisonous flower, and I want to send him to Beiping, and I will never allow him to enter Beijing." ”

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang indifferently, she tried every means to get Zhu Di to Fengyang to guard the emperor's mausoleum, and even did not hesitate to quarrel with Zhu Yuanzhang to demote Zhu Di to a commoner, but after going around and around, Zhu Di would still go to Beiping to be the king of the domain.

Zhu Di will never be allowed to enter Beijing, ha, people don't need you to issue a decree to summon them, they will go directly to the capital!

Ma Xiuying laughed lowly, laughing that everyone in the world was deceived by Zhu Di! laughing at himself for being too stupid and raising tigers for trouble! Laughing at himself for being just a humble ant, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't shake the big hand of history!

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that Ma Xiuying's expression was wrong, and hurriedly went to help, but unexpectedly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, spraying his head and face, and then a large stream of blood overflowed from Ma Xiuying's mouth, fell on the placket, and fell to the ground......
