Chapter 178: A Letter from Home

Half a month after the crown princess Lu escaped death, Zhu Yunwen didn't have time to thank God for letting him regain his mother's love, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the crown princess to be placed under house arrest.

Zhu Yunwen was frightened, and he couldn't guess the emperor's grandfather's mind.

Will you still be given death after house arrest?

He came to the Qianqing Palace worriedly.

"Grandpa Huang, mother concubine ......" Zhu Yunwen pondered Zhu Yuanzhang's face again and again, but it was still difficult to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked him not to continue.

"Bing'er, put your mind on the government. I intend to crown you the crown prince next month, so as not to disappoint my expectations. ”

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson ...... every time I think of my mother."

"Isn't your mother still alive? Why don't you think about the emperor's grandfather, think about the position you will sit in the future, and think about the people of the world? ”

"My grandson knows my mistake!"

"How long can I help you? Your useless kindness will hurt you! As a monarch, all your decisions must be beneficial to the country! ”

"My grandson will definitely be a Mingjun." Zhu Yunwen sweated like rain, and there were many things he didn't understand.

As a king, if he can't even save his mother's life, how can he protect the people of the world?

But he didn't dare to argue with the imperial grandfather anymore, fearing that his mother would lose her qualification to be imprisoned.

The crown princess Lu sat in a daze in the room, holding in her hands the two sturdiest belts that she had turned out from the bottom of the dusty box.

She didn't know why the emperor wanted to kill her, but she wasn't worried about her situation, she was worried about her son.

For her sake, her brother had lost his official position, lost his arm, and she could no longer let her son take the slightest risk.

Zhu Yunwen is her eldest son, and he gave her the first taste of the joy of motherhood.

He is well-behaved and sensible, and has never asked her to worry about him. He is considerate and careless, and he knows how to care about his parents' well-being at a young age.

He was also observant, often reminding his father not to forget to accompany his mother to dinner, and reminding his mother to tolerate his father's doting on the daughter born to Concubine Chang.

In the past, it was Zhu Yunwen who thought about her, but now she has to think about her son well.

The two belts in her hands had been twisted into thick and hard ropes by the Lu family, and her determination became stronger and stronger.

She stood up with a sigh of relief, a smile on her face.

She looked up at the beam, which was neither tall nor short, and she was very satisfied with this fate.

His son will hold her tightly, grooming her with his own hands, and more importantly, his son will have a great future.

Lu Shi brought a stool and stood up.

"!" The maid entered the house, holding a stack of clothes that she had just taken from the Dressing Bureau.

Lu Shi hurriedly hid the rope behind him.

"Ahh Mother, what are you doing standing so high? The maid panicked, and a conjecture arose in her unintelligent mind: the crown princess, who was under house arrest, might do something stupid.

She put down her clothes, rushed to Lu's side, and hugged her legs: "Niangniang, you, you hurry down!" ”

Lu Shi was afraid that his actions would be discovered and it would be inconvenient to implement them again, so he immediately made up a lie: "Liying, why are you making such a fuss?" Hongu saw a spider here and wanted to sweep it down. ”

"Mother, really?" The maid let go of Lu's legs, tilted her head, and looked at her in disbelief.

Lu Shi jumped off the stool, saw the stack of clothes at a glance, and found the target to divert the dilemma.

She pretended to be relaxed and walked to the side of the clothes: "Look, you are panicking, and the clothes you just washed are stained by you again." ”

"The slave knows what is wrong!" The maid was fooled.

"Let's take these two pieces and rewash them!"

"Now?"

"Yes, I like this blue Hongu the most, and I have to wear it tomorrow."

......The maid was still unmoved, her panic had not completely calmed down, and she was afraid of leaving the princess alone in the house.

"Well, this piece of powder is so beautiful," Lu picked up the top one. A blooming peach blossom smiled at her happily.

Why didn't she think of changing into a beautiful dress at the last moment of her life just now?

Zhu Yunwen's favorite thing is peach blossoms, and she must wear this dress.

"I'm going to wear it today!" Lu's smile was as beautiful as a peach blossom.

"Go quickly, don't be stupid here!"

"Mother, the slave will change your ......"

As soon as Lu Shi stretched out his hand, the clothes were already on her body: "Isn't this palace dressed?" What else do you want to do? Are you going or not? ”

The maid lowered her head, slowly picked up two soiled clothes, and took small steps, turning back as she went.

"Hongu has lost power, and now even you don't listen to Hongu, right?" Lu Shi stiffened his face.

"Slave and maid, go now! Slave and maid, go now! The maid disappeared outside the door.

"Whew!" Lu Shi gasped and sat down on the stool.

She slowly fastened the straps of her clothes, and suddenly heard a rustling sound, which seemed to come from her chest.

She lowered her head, and a stiff peach blossom caught her attention.

Lu Shi reached out and touched it, and found that there was something hidden under the peach blossom, that is, in the inner pocket of the clothes.

She took it out, and it was a letter that read as follows:

"Mother, if you want to save your son, please copy it as follows, and ask the maid to give it to your son!"

That's the opening sentence.

Lu's hand trembled involuntarily.

Who wrote this to her? Is this person trying to save her, or is he going to harm her? Does Bing'er know about this? If she did what this person said, would she hurt Bing'er?

Lu's gaze finally returned to the letter, her eyes clumsily found a place to continue, and read it word by word in her heart.

It took Lu a long time to read the letter, longer than she had to consider committing suicide to save her son.

She read these fifty or sixty words upside down several times, for fear of reading a wrong word, for fear that she would not be able to see the hidden meaning behind it.

The maid sent the dirty clothes to the Shangyi Bureau as quickly as possible, and when she came back, she saw the crown princess sitting at the table unharmed, holding it to her chest, and she didn't dare to waste time panting before she squirted out of her mouth.

The crown princess didn't notice such a big movement, in her heart, she only had the letter in her hand.

Lu stood up, walked to the bookcase, and thought again before sitting down.

It was an innocent letter, and she really couldn't see what it could do to save her, and she couldn't think of anything about it that could make her and her son suffer.

She sat down nervously.

"Mother, do you want to write? The slave and the maid come and grind. The maid also went to the bookcase, dripped some water on the inkstone, grabbed the ink ingot, and let it spin with joy.

Lu Shi lifted the pen, the posture of holding the pen was very uncomfortable, and she looked at the pen hair that was as full as a black olive after being stained with ink.

"Liying, it's okay, you can go and do other things first." She felt that the maid had influenced her thinking.

Between lifting and putting down again and again, Lu added a lot of thoughts, which were corners of her brain that had not been in decades, that deviated from her code of conduct and exceeded the limits of her thoughts.

After the last word, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and weakly beckoned the maid to her side.

"You send this letter to the East Palace and give it to the emperor's eldest grandson." Lu's eyes hesitated, and the letter in his hand had already been handed to the maid.

"Niangniang, the emperor doesn't let Niangniang contact the emperor's eldest grandson." The maid felt that she had a bag of explosives in her hand.

"Go, make sure you're okay!" Lu Shiqiang cheered up and looked at the maid with confidence, "A mother tells her son to eat well and sleep well, that's all, how about the emperor take the palace?" ”

"Niangniang, the emperor's eldest grandson is very good, yesterday the slave maid saw the emperor's eldest grandson."

"He misses Bengong, Bengong misses him, and if he can't see it, it's good to look at the words." Lu's nose was sour, and he burst into tears.

"Mother's ......"

"Shut up! Why do you talk so much? Let you go, you will go! If you want to marry your beloved, you have to be obedient now! In an instant, the Lu clan became tough and once again pinched the vital point of the maid.

After the rainy season, the sun warmly embraces the earth. Beams of light cast colorful spots in the air, on trees, on walls, and on the ground.

The long bluestone pavement outside the palace was so quiet that you could almost hear the leaves falling.

Liying walked out of the courtyard gate and looked around.

What is she looking at? Jin Yiwei was always lurking in dark corners, and she couldn't see their presence even with ten pairs of eyes.

She walked uneasily on the road, whether in vain or not, she still looked back behind her from time to time.

She never thought to open the letter and see if the contents were really as the crown princess said, just the usual shh

All she had was fear, and that not-so-smart head could hold only one thing.

Suddenly, a "whoosh" sound sounded beside her.

She stopped, her legs trembling, her neck stiffened, and she didn't dare to turn it casually, as if a knife had been placed on it.

Something fell on her hair, and she ran forward desperately, leaving behind the terrible noise and the unknown thing.

The sound died down, and she took a risky halt and spun around in place, seeing nothing.

The wind ruffled her bun, and she reached for her hair and felt two leaves.

"Humph!" She let out a sneer and threw the leaves to the ground.

"Don't scare yourself, nothing will happen!" Li Ying comforted herself, "The eldest grandson of the emperor is the future emperor, I sent this letter for him this time, he will definitely remember me well!" ”

Liying thought of her lover, and all she had left in her mind was love.

The doors of the East Palace were open, and the guards looked amiable.

Li Ying quickened her pace, and as long as she handed the letter to him, she completed the task of walking on thin ice.

"Stop!" A voice that floated like a ghost in the underworld rang in her ears.
