Zhu Biao sat in the back seat, holding the bare-ass baby in his arms, peeking at Zhu Di, glance after glance, and didn't dare to make a sound when he opened his mouth several times.

Zhu Di looked tired, he was usually a cold and resolute image, and it seemed that he would never show his tired and weak side, Zhu Biao felt a little strange because of this, but he also knew that people would have ups and downs, so he felt a little kind to the four princes who had taken off their guards...... The feeling of seeing an idol walk down the altar without psychological preparation is really complicated and indescribable.

The black car drove forward smoothly, much slower than usual, and the driver also knew that the fourth prince needed more rest time now, Zhu Biao continued to peek at him, Zhu Di slowly closed his eyes, his tense shoulders gradually relaxed, and the distance between his back and the back seat cushion was originally maintained constantly, and at this time, the distance was also infinitely shortened, and finally disappeared.

Under Zhu Biao's attention, Zhu Di fell asleep very inconspicuously, and even the rhythm of his breathing did not change much, and only those who were familiar with him could notice that he was different from when he closed his eyes and recuperated.

Why is he so tired? Zhu Biao thought about it, and guessed a little weakly: It won't be because of me, right?

How can it be! He quickly rejected this self-inflicted sentimental idea, the fourth prince was already very busy, he was the dean of the Academy of National Arts, and there was always a run-in period when he was newly appointed, and he must have been busy dealing with school affairs recently; He seems to be holding the position of Jinyiwei, and from time to time he has to go back to Beizhen to meet the priest; Also, the case of the twenty-fifth prince has been transferred for prosecution, and he needs to testify in court as an important witness, and the media very much wants to interview him for this matter, and he can't enter the National Academy of Martial Arts, so he has to hover outside the school gate like a vulture, waiting for an opportunity to peck off a piece of his flesh......

It's really not that I don't know, if you think about it carefully, the four princes are under multiple pressures, each of which is enough to crush a mortal who is not strong enough, and he is only slightly tired, which is already remarkable.

Zhu Biao's thoughts fluctuated in his mind, but his eyes always fell on Zhu Di's face, staring at his sleeping eyebrows that were still slightly frowned. The bare-ass baby has always been very quiet, but at this time, she suddenly struggled in his arms, stretched out a fleshy little hand, and gently grabbed Zhu Di's hand.

…………

……

In fact, Zhu Biao's intuitive flash was not wrong, Zhu Di showed abnormal fatigue, and the ultimate reason was indeed related to him.

A few days ago, the four princes "snatched food from the dragon's mouth" and pushed the emperor back in front of Zhu Biao, because he was reasonable, and the emperor was not good at getting angry, but he began to find a way to attack him afterwards.

It was not a secret means to see the light of day, and with the pride of the emperor, he had always only resorted to a trick - he decided to temporarily inspect the defense of the 19th district.

In addition to the three special regions of the capital that are relatively concentrated and located in the same galaxy, the Ming Dynasty also has twenty-four regions distributed in different galaxies, that is, twenty-four planets, and it just so happens that the emperor also has twenty-four adult sons, so each prince is ordered to garrison each region.

But after all, the Ming Dynasty is no longer a feudal monarchy, and the prince is just an ordinary person with a royal halo in a sense, and it is impossible for them to get monstrous power just because of their identity, at least not on the surface. Therefore, the twenty-four princes were not stationed in the districts as officials included in the system, they were independent of the local administrative organs, did not participate in civil affairs, and could not directly participate in the military, but were only allowed to supervise from the sidelines. Strictly speaking, it is to act as a military observer with the title of prince.

In order to rationalize their status as "military observers", each prince has a fictitious title of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, anyway, Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and no one can say anything if he is willing to let his son be the one, and at the same time, the emperor's pro-army also belongs to the army and can participate in military affairs in a straightforward manner. As a "military observer", each prince was required to report regularly to the emperor on the local defenses, usually for a period of one year, and the time limit was shortened to six months for borders such as the 19th District, which could undergo drastic changes at any time.

Two months ago, Zhu Di completed his first routine report of the year, and the next day he found an excuse to "send" himself back to the capital in the name of the Fusi Yamen of Nanzhen in the 19th District.

Therefore, the emperor knew that Zhu Di had been either interstellar or in the capital for nearly two months, and it was impossible to update the information of the 19th District in real time, but at this time he asked him to report on defense in advance, obviously bullying him, looking for trouble, looking for a reason, and wanting to punish him, he almost didn't shout loudly: "Lao Tzu doesn't like you!" ”

Well, who made him really Zhu Di's "Lao Tzu". Although the relationship between their father and son is more like that of a monarch and a minister, even if the emperor is angry, he must find a reason, and he will not play a scoundrel and say that "if you beat a child on a rainy day, you are idle"; The fourth prince does not believe that there is anything that cannot be done in the world, and he can grit his teeth and stiffen up when he is treated unfairly, but he will never take the initiative to beg the emperor for mercy.

The most noble father and son of the Ming Dynasty are angry, but the unlucky ones are a large number of people. The military department Shangshu has been working overtime with the four princes for several days, the four princes are young, they have been practicing martial arts for many years, and they can still fight a boxing trip after the end of the night every day, and then return to the National Academy of Arts in high spirits. And the poor military department is still ...... The old man had been carried into the hospital the day before yesterday to hang water.

Zhu Di personally sent away the military department Shangshu, and last night he stayed up all night with the military department squire who temporarily replaced the Shangshu, rushed back to the National Academy of Art in the early morning to participate in the morning exercise, and almost stepped on the air when he walked down the stairs of the flag-raising platform, and the people around him were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they all surrounded him to support him.

At that time, a white light really appeared in front of him, and he was still a little dazed after being held up, not knowing where he was, where he came from, and where he was going.

Reason should be restored quickly, Zhu Di knew that he was dizzy for only a few seconds, but these few seconds may be forever in the world of thinking, he pushed away those who were holding him, and glanced at them casually, all of them were unfamiliar blank faces, as if smeared with care, as false as a piece of paper.

He gave them another push, then staggered forward on his own.

Even after regaining his senses, Zhu Di felt that he still did not know where he came from and where he was going, and that he had not thought about these metaphysical topics in the past, because insisting on thinking about unanswered questions would only become a psychopath or a philosopher, and he was not interested in either.

But he couldn't control his thoughts now, they were scattered around like a ball of thread scratched by a cat, one in the east and one in the west, and no matter how hard he tried to restrain them, the next second they would still roll happily in his mind.

He remembered some images that he thought he had forgotten for a long time: when he was seven years old, he met the emperor for the first time, and he finally had his own name; He had never seen his mother, and it was rumored that Empress Xiaoci Gao died in childbirth on the battlefield, and he was the ominous newborn; He and his brothers are like a group of wolf cubs raised in the wilderness, in order to survive, they are forced to learn to hunt blood, and they can no longer wash away the bloody breath of their bodies; There is only the crown prince, and the prince is not the same as them......

Thinking of the prince, Zhu Biao's face suddenly appeared in front of him, and Zhu Di finally realized that he was dreaming, but why is this dream so real, and where is the beginning of the dream? When will it end?

…………

……

The black car arrived at the end at a slow speed and stopped steadily, Zhu Biao waited for a while, the driver didn't mean to get out of the car to call someone, he didn't want to miss the light magician assessment, so he had to approach the four princes.

It's not too close, the bare-ass baby is still hanging on his chest, Zhu Biao moved to the sleeping four princes, leaned forward, and wanted to whisper in his ear to wake him up.

At this moment, the fourth prince woke up from his dream, noticed that someone had entered a dangerous distance, and turned his head quickly while holding out his backhand.

Lips to lips, bumped into each other.
