Chapter 33: Grounding

"His Royal Highness?" By the light of the fire, the leader of the general took a closer look and shouted. Immediately, he knelt on the ground and bowed to the courtesy.

"The last general is on duty in the East Palace, see His Royal Highness Taisun."

There was a bang, and the sound of metal armor clashing. When those soldiers saw that their superiors were kneeling, where would they still stand, and they knelt down in a large area. Only the eunuchs who were woken up were left, standing on the periphery and looking at each other at a loss, not knowing why.

"There's nothing to do here, so don't retreat quickly." Zhu Youxiao didn't look at it, but just scolded lightly.

"The last general obeys!" Liu Bin replied loudly without hesitation. By the light of the fire, he could almost see the scene inside the room through the broken window, a figure dressed in a cyan eunuch costume was lying motionless, Yin Hong's blood was pooling under him.

When he saw these clearly, Liu Bin immediately woke up, and his heart was filled with deep fear. Without him, the water is too deep! He didn't even dare to think about the relationship between these and His Royal Highness Taisun, so he knelt straight and straight.

Zhu Youxiao's order to let him step down was exactly what he wanted, and he responded without the slightest hesitation. Standing up, Liu Bin ordered loudly: "Donggong Guard, return to the palace immediately and be on duty all night." ”

"Yes, sir." After the soldiers answered, they came out under the leadership of their respective commanders. After everyone went out, Liu Bin didn't dare to stay longer, as if he was being chased by a dog, and jumped out quickly.

"Youxiao, what's going on?" As the master of the East Palace, no matter how dull Zhu Changluo is, he should also appear at this time. He came out with a tulle coat and asked with a frown.

When he saw Liu Cheng's corpse, his already constricted brows jumped even more, how could he not know the two cronies and eunuchs beside Concubine Zheng. It was precisely because of this realization that he realized that there was a big trouble.

"Humph!" Zhu Youxiao ignored him, snorted coldly, and turned to leave. The white burlap filial piety clothes, blown by the sassy night wind, and the sound of hunting, made him suddenly have an ethereal temperament. Everyone in the East Palace just watched him quietly, leaving step by step, and no one stopped him.

The same is true for Zhu Changluo. He sensed something unusual from tonight's events.

Why did Liu Chengcheng be here, why did Zhu Youxiao kill him, and besides, this is still Cao Huachun's residence. Cao Huachun followed his son before, and then came to Wang Cairen's side, and finally became Xi Li's personal attendant, all kinds of complex and abnormal relationships between them made his brain ache for a while, he was not a smart person, and he couldn't sort out these trivial and abnormal things at all.

With the departure of Zhu Youxiao, the palace maids and eunuchs who surrounded here quickly dispersed under the reprimand of their own sons, and finally only Zhu Changluo was left standing here alone. The night breeze seemed to know that he was full of sorrow, and suddenly it softened, slowly brushing his ears, like the warm breath of Xi Li in his ears, making him extremely refreshed.

It's just that when he thinks of his son Zhu Youxiao, he is irritable, when he was a child, he was fine, the father and son were very close, but for some reason, the more they grew up, the two seemed to drift apart, whether it was mind, courage, ability, which aspect, he was still young, and gradually surpassed himself as a father.

Especially when he dared to kill!

This was far beyond Zhu Changluo's expectations, and suddenly, he found that he never seemed to know his son, why he liked to practice martial arts, what he liked to eat, how far his studies had progressed, his height, and his weight.

This is like father and son, two strangers at all. Thinking of this, Zhu Changluo shook his head and smiled bitterly. After a wry smile, there was a deep sadness, and after a little retrospect, he found that a moat was deeply between the two.

Shaking his head and sighing, where did Zhu Chang Luoxi Li go, he was extremely tired in his heart, and he urgently needed the comfort of his beloved woman. As for Liu Cheng who was lying on the ground, he didn't pay attention to it, he was just a slave, and he died, even if it was Concubine Zheng's personal attendant, it was nothing more than that.

With Zhu Changluo's departure, Ciqing Palace once again returned to tranquility, and under the quiet moonlight, only the firefighters who cleaned up the mess were toiling. They are the lowest existence in this palace, and they do all the dirty work.

In the early morning, the glow of the sun shrouded the entire Forbidden City, making it appear brilliant, and the majestic palace pavilions showed the existence of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qianqing Palace, Wanli, who had just finished breakfast, suddenly received a book. This book was handed over in a timely manner, just when Wanli had just finished breakfast, and it was also very fast, and it was not delayed at all in the General Administration. Because, this is the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao's guilty excerpt.

"Excuse yourself?" After Wanli watched the whole piece, he was a little surprised.

This piece was written by Liu Shimin, and an allusion was not used, but it was brilliantly written, which was much higher than Cao Huachun's level. The meaning of the whole chapter is also very simple, that is, Zhu Youxing admits that he killed someone, although he is a domestic slave, but he is also very responsible, and he has lost the model of the prince, and he is willing to ask for punishment, and he is confined to the royal horse prison room, reading the saint's classics, cultivating himself, meditating and cultivating his mind, and hearing and hearing correctly.

In the recital, he also wrote about Zhu Youxiao's condolences for missing his mother, hoping that His Majesty could agree to his request and keep filial piety for his mother when he was grounded.

Tsai carefully read the fold three times, and Wanli closed it with a snap, slowly closing his eyes and pondering. He also knows about the two concubines who died in Ciqing Palace, but judging from here, there seems to be something hidden in them.

"Lu Shou, what's going on?" Wanli, who frowned slightly, wanted to ask a eunuch next to him. This is the new eunuch of the Dongchang palm print.

"Your Majesty, the slave is about to report this matter." Lu Shou attached his ear to Wanli's side and told the story one by one. Such a big thing happened in the palace, how could he, as the palm print of Dongchang, not hear it, and he even almost restored the scene when it happened through the words of the fireman who cleaned up the mess.

It's just that before Lu Shou finished speaking, a dressed beauty broke in.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the concubine's body, a concubine and a personal minister yesterday..." Seeing Concubine Ai like this, Wanli's heart softened, but he didn't show it, just threw the fold in his hand. Wanli is very clear about Concubine Zheng's thoughts, but she just wants to point the finger at the East Palace and take the opportunity to make trouble.

If it was in the past, because he hated this eldest son, Wanli would have turned a blind eye and let Concubine Zheng toss a few times, but now it is different, there is an additional imperial grandson in the East Palace. For this grandson, Wanli is still very satisfied, smart, filial, ambitious, and a good emperor in the future.

Zheng Guifei, who was crying, didn't expect Wanli to react like this, and when she threw it over, she didn't react yet, and looked at the music that flew towards her face in a daze. Fortunately, a eunuch next to him reacted quickly, reached out and took the concerto, so that Zheng Guifei was not smashed.

Gu Bu complained to Wanli, after she took the notebook, she looked at it carefully, and the content in it was beyond her expectations.

"Are you satisfied with this treatment?" Wanli said lightly after she finished reading it. Although his tone was flat, the familiar Zheng Guifei knew the consciousness behind this demeanor, and this matter was done, and it was over.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for calling the shots for your concubines!" Concubine Zheng bowed down, and the grand swaying skirt was like a flower butterfly, beautiful and incomprehensible.

"Haha, come over quickly, I haven't seen Concubine Ai's song and dance for a long time, come to the next paragraph."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the palace, there was another scene of laughter and laughter, and the singing and dancing of the wine moon rose at the same time.

The influence of the selection of waiters, talents, eunuchs, and the death of three people in a row was suppressed by Zhu Youxiao's letter, and there was no ripple. However, there are few people who really know that this letter has a role.

In just three days, Ciqing Palace was filled with dead people one after another, and everyone felt unlucky, but this dead man could not compare to the impact of the emperor's grandson's departure. Everyone knows that the reason why Ciqing Palace's rewards have been getting stronger and stronger over the years is all because of the grandson, if the grandson is really grounded and left, I am afraid that the East Palace will return to the past hardship.

However, no one dared to question it, this was the master's order, and it was also His Majesty's will, and no one dared to disobey it.

The duty room of this imperial horse supervisor is located on the west side of the East Palace, and the place where Zhu Youxiao practiced martial arts before was only a corner here. Wanli's will, this place was quickly emptied and cleaned up. However, as a military station garrisoned by the Imperial Horse Prison Army, it is not as comfortable as living in the palace hall no matter how it is cleaned up.

The only thing that satisfies Zhu Youxiao is that the open space here is large enough, as long as you remove some useless things, you can build a school yard and run on it at will. With his body gradually opening up, he was already able to practice riding and archery and horse kung fu.

Although this duty room is simple, it completely belongs to Zhu Youxiao, and it is his private chassis, and he can do whatever he wants, without worrying about any impact. Here, he can do what he wants, such as studying gunpowder muskets and the like.

Looking at this vast chassis, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel proud, through this turmoil, he finally had a place to live alone, although he lived alone in another room before, but there was no courtyard wall to separate, he felt that everything he had was exposed to other people's eyes, and he didn't dare to make some small moves at all.

Here, the environment is simple, but the courtyard wall is towering, blocking the sight of most people, forming a closed environment, as if putting on a thick layer of armor for his soul, bringing Zhu Youxiao a hint of wrapped peace, making him extremely down-to-earth, quiet and stable.

Looking around, he couldn't help but laugh. "My great cause begins here!"
