"Emperor, Emperor!" Liying passed by with a basin of water, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang outside the door in a panic and almost knocked over the basin.

She quickly put down the basin and rubbed her hands vigorously on her apron as she came out.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped into the threshold and said expressionlessly: "Go and call the crown princess!" ”

After the prince's funeral, he never saw the crown princess Lu again. The pain of losing her husband may not be lighter than that of herself, they are two people who share the same disease.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to talk to the crown princess. Perhaps they can get some comfort from shared memories, or perhaps reminiscing together can bring them solace.

The crown princess soon appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, although she was thinly powdered, she still couldn't hide her dull eye circles, sallow skin, dry lips, and listless eyes.

"Meet my father!" The crown princess knelt on the ground.

"Pingsheng!" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was as gentle as possible, he wanted to make up for some of the harshness he had been on this daughter-in-law.

"Biao'er is gone, you have to take care of yourself. Look at your current appearance, with a yellow face and thin muscles, where do you look like a dignified princess? ”

The crown princess lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly unconsciously, she originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would come again to give herself another chance to be martyred for the country or lose her freedom, but she didn't expect to hear the tender and sweet words that the prince couldn't hear when he was alive.

She couldn't comprehend Zhu Yuanzhang's true intentions for a while.

"Yes, father, son, son, ......" After a while, Lu's throat made a sound, and tears welled up.

"Okay, stop crying. ' Life is a hero, death is also a ghost', this life has to be worthwhile. ”

"Father's lesson." Lu wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"I came here today to have nothing else to do, and it was because I missed Biao'er. Tell me about Biao'er's life. What I know is the standard of dealing with government and politics, the standard of life, I ...... Nothing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slowly, the belated guilt was useless.

"Yes, Father!" Lu Shi slowly began to tell about Zhu Biao who lived with her.

At first, Zhu Biao read at night with a lamp, and he couldn't release the volume; Be cautious and thrifty, and retire from food; Be lenient to your subordinates, and the master and servant are affectionate.

Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon face and joy shown again and again made the Lu family's courage slowly grow.

She began to say that the embarrassing thing that happened when she and Zhu Biao first met was also the sweetest thing in her heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, feeling the living Zhu Biao scratching his ears and cheeks, his face was red and his ears were red.

He felt a sense of relief in his heart, and only the most mundane things could make people laugh heartily.

"It turns out that people in Xi'an don't like to wear socks! Hahaha! It's the first time I've heard of it. ”

"His Highness said, 'It's strange that the King of Qin always wears socks.' ”

"Fen'er! Ha ha! He just likes to be different. Others don't wear it, but he has to wear it. Did Biao'er complain in front of you that his brothers were disobedient? ”

"No, never. He said that the kings of Jin and Qin listened to him especially when they were children. When he grew up, his brothers went their separate ways, there was less contact, and his feelings were estranged, and he always felt that it was his fault. ”

"Biao'er is kind-hearted and examines himself first in everything. Fortunately, he was there, and he only listened to him, and I didn't use my words. ”

"How can you, Father? Both the King of Jin and the King of Qin knew that His Royal Highness's words were meant to convey the meaning of their father. My father had a lot of opportunities, and some small things had to be handled by His Royal Highness, the eldest brother. ”

"The love of brothers is better than the love of father and son!" Zhu Yuanzhang was ashamed.

"Your Highness's relationship with the prince is indeed very good. His Royal Highness is good to the prince, and the prince is good to His Royal Highness. When His Royal Highness went to Xi'an, King Qin was afraid that His Highness would be tired from a long journey, so he gave His Highness a very expensive and comfortable saddle. His Royal Highness regarded it as a treasure and let the guards keep it for good life, and no one was allowed to touch it, even the concubines had only seen it once. ”

"Saddle?" Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and tried to search through the conversations he had with Zhu Biao.

"By the way, I heard Biao'er say it. King Qin's cockfighting contest made the chickens and dogs restless, and I was about to condemn King Qin, but Biao'er interceded for his brother. He mentioned this saddle at the time...... Is this saddle so good? Biao'er cherishes it like this. ”

"Beautiful, the concubine has never seen something so radiant."

"Oh? Where to put it? Take me to see it. ”

"Yes, Father!"

Qingnong poked his head out from behind a pillar next to the prince's dormitory, looking around, listening to any sound coming from the courtyard.

A quarter of an hour earlier, when he had learned that the Emperor had arrived, the first thing that came to his mind was to restore the light of the saddle in the darkness to its most striking radiance.

He rushed into the prince's bedchamber, took the saddle out of the box, uncovered layer after layer of brocade, and laid it on the prince's bookcase.

If the emperor has any suspicion about the cause of the prince's death, if the emperor wants to find out the murderer of the prince, this saddle is the best evidence.

Qingnong had been feeling guilty for not being able to do something for the prince, he was out of breath nervously, and silently prayed in his heart that the emperor would come to the prince's bedroom.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Qingnong's heartbeat was getting more and more violent, and he turned around, leaned against the pillar, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

Immediately, he walked out from behind the pillars and walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang and the crown princess.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Qingnong knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, his name is Qingnong, and he is His Royal Highness's personal guard." The crown princess introduced to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Flat!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't stop, he had already stepped into the prince's bedroom.

"Qingnong, come in together and take out the saddle that King Qin gave to His Highness." The crown princess said.

"Back to the crown princess, the saddle is on the bookcase of His Royal Highness." Qingnong Road.

The crown princess tilted her head in confusion. Isn't the saddle always stored in the box? Why is it on the prince's bookcase today?

Qingnong's palms were slightly sweaty, and he was afraid that the crown princess would find out in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, look," the crown princess trotted to follow the palace, "the saddle is on the prince's bookcase. According to the custom of the crown prince, Qingnong would put the saddle on His Highness's bookcase for a few days every month, as if His Highness was still here. ”

Qing Nong breathed a sigh of relief, he now knew the crown princess's ability.

"Well, it's glorious!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood with his hands behind his back and a foot away from the bookcase.

Sunlight shone through the window on the saddle.

In the distance, its light merged with the light of the saddle, and it flew in all directions.

They jumped into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, knowing that they could impress this son of heaven.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly approached the bookcase, and the dazzling light made him involuntarily block his forehead with one hand.

"Your Majesty, the sun is too strong, and the concubine immediately put down the bead curtain." The princess rushed to the window and lowered the beaded curtain that could block out half of the light.

The domineering sun became gentle, and the saddle quietly exuded infinite charm.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it carefully, not letting go of any inch.

He saw not only dazzling jewelry, but also ingenious craftsmanship, he saw Zhu Biao sitting on a chair in front of the bookcase, silently watching the saddle like him.

A knife on the back of the saddle broke into Zhu Yuanzhang's sight like a roadblock.

"Huh? Is this place scratched? Zhu Yuanzhang leaned over and threw himself in front of the saddle, touching the knife edge with one hand.

The crown princess panicked, the prince's treasure was actually broken, and she felt that she could not escape the blame.

"Concubine, concubine doesn't know...... Damn the concubine! She stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang with her hands down, not daring to step forward.

"It's a pity that this fine deerskin ......," Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself, while using two fingers to open the mouth of the white deerskin.

"Huh? Why is the texture of this golden silk nanmu so dark? ”

"Concubine...... I don't know, Qingnong! The helpless crown princess suddenly remembered Qingnong who was standing by the door, "Why was His Highness's saddle cut?" ”

"This ...... The minion ...... "Qingnong panicked, he didn't know how to explain, of course he couldn't give the red stone."

He was bent on letting the emperor find out about it, but he never thought about how to explain how it was cut.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised a hand and signaled others not to speak.

He put his nose in front of the golden silk nanmu that seemed unusual to him.

He is familiar with the taste of golden silk nanmu, there is no place around him that does not exude the taste of golden silk nanmu, his couch, his dragon case, the pillars of carving dragons and phoenixes, and the roof of the palace that looks at all things.

Zhu Yuanzhang took two short breaths, and the fragrance of golden silk nanmu rushed into his nostrils. In addition to this, he also smelled a foul smell. This taste is very light and light, mixed with the fragrance of golden silk nanmu, which is easy to be overlooked.

He took two more breaths, allowing more pretenders to break into his nose, and he was going to pull them out, just as one or two ill-intentioned men were pulled out of the crowd, out of vigilance and habitual instinct.

The pretenders did not wait in Zhu Yuanzhang's nose, they attacked him en masse and broke into Zhu Yuanzhang's brain.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt dizzy, closed his eyes tightly, lowered his head, and put his hands on the bookcase.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The crown princess raised her hands and wanted to help Zhu Yuanzhang, but she was afraid of being rude, so she stood in place in a daze.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the pretenders, opened his eyes, raised his head, straightened his waist, glared at the saddle, and said coldly: "I want to take it back to the Qianqing Palace!" ”

"Yes!" The crown princess was flustered, she knew that something was wrong, "The concubine immediately ordered someone to send the saddle to the Qianqing Palace!" ”

Qingnong's eyes widened like copper bells, waiting for the order of the crown princess or the emperor at any time.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and his heart trembled with excitement.

Perhaps the true killer of the crown prince would still be safe and sound in the depths of the underlying darkness, but at least he did his best to stir up that barrier.

Isn't his existence just about doing something insignificant?
