It is also said that this cold weather, when it is really flowers and snow with the wind, never get tired of looking, more willing to lose the forests, sad people are under the book window, a piece of cold is flying.

Li Mi locked Zhu Changluo in the study, and it was okay to say during the day, Zhu Changluo was just blindly anxious, pacing back and forth, and asking from time to time, is there anyone outside?

At night, when the sky got dark, and no one was in charge of the lamp, Zhu Changluo began to panic, just guarding the oil candle in the study, leaning against the door, and muttering something to himself.

He understands Li Mi's good intentions, but this is a heart disease accumulated since childhood, how can it be easily eliminated?

He remembered the life he lived with his mother in fear when he was a child, the bullying of his mother by Zheng Guifei and others, and the hard days of having no meat and no clothes.

Especially in the first few years, he and his mother were adopted by kind-hearted eunuchs and hid in the palace, for fear of being discovered all day long, he is a precocious and sensitive child, where can he not be afraid?

When they were six or seven years old, they finally let Empress Dowager Li know about the situation, and the mother and son lived in the sun.

But it also angered the emperor because of this, Zhu Changluo and his mother followed the rules, walking on thin ice, even if they had an extra bite of food, they had to be afraid for a long time, for fear that if they did something wrong, they would die because of it.

In the most important years of his life, Zhu Changluo fell into such a difficult day, except for fright, he did not leave him with any good memories.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he loves Zhu Youxiao even more, because he doesn't want his children to repeat the mistakes of the past and experience the nightmare of his childhood again.

Although he fought with Fu Wang Ming, although Zhu Yijun was often dissatisfied with him, he still didn't control too much, and let Zhu Youxiao play and mess around, that was the good life that children should have.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhu Youxiao was involved in this fire, he was so anxious that he couldn't calm down.

If he and Zhu Changxun were like him, he had been pampered and pampered since he was a child, maybe he wouldn't be like this when he encountered trouble.

There are some defects that cannot be repaired, the past is the past, just like eating sugar when you grow up, the taste is still the same, but you can no longer experience that kind of fun.

Picture books and cartoons that I couldn't watch when I was a child lose their meaning when they are older and make up for them.

But Zhu Changluo also knows that the lack of childhood is indeed irreparable, but the fear brought by these shortcomings can be overcome!

Over the years, how much Li Mi has paid for him, one by one, he silently remembers it in his heart, and he also knows that he relies too much on Li Mi.

So he tried to be as patient as he could, even though he was so frightened that he trembled, he just kept the faint candle flame and did not call for help.

Eventually, the candle flame was extinguished, and the room was plunged into darkness that seemed to consume him, annihilate him, and bring him back to the nightmare of his childhood!

King Fu and Concubine Zheng Guifei have disappeared, the emperor has only his crown prince as the prince, and even let him supervise the country, if there is no accident, he is the next emperor, Li Mi helped him remove all obstacles, regardless of external enemies or internal troubles, and also set up the most secure auxiliary team for him.

It is said that he can sit back and relax, and he can be fearless.

But when darkness hit, he still felt extremely afraid.

He leaned against the door panel and looked out and asked, "Sir, I'm scared ......?"

He thought that Li Mi was no longer outside, but after a while, he heard Li Mi's sigh, and then heard Li Mi say quietly: "Who is not afraid? ”

These four words were like a ray of light, hitting Zhu Changluo's soul!

In retrospect, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty rarely were able to take over the government in peace, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son Zhu Biao died early, and the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen succeeded him, but let his uncle Zhu Di seize power, and Emperor Hui Zhu Yunwen did not know whether he was alive or dead, which became an unsolved case in history.

Zhu Di fought in the south and the north, with great achievements, but the prince Zhu Gaochi was obsessed with fat and lame, and he couldn't even ride a horse, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di liked Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and fell into the conspiracy and power struggle to seize the heir, Zhu Gaochi was lenient and benevolent and loved the people, but he died not long after he became the emperor.

Take a look back, Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan of Longqing and Zhu Yijun now, for this dragon chair, they have also suffered a lot, which one is easy to win the country?

Li Mi's sentence "Who is not afraid" seems to ignite Zhu Changluo's darkness, he is walking the path of his ancestors, and the ancestors may have received all kinds of assistance and help, but which one can sweep away the internal and external troubles like Li Mi, and pave the way to the dragon throne for him?

Zhu Changluo finally opened his eyes and embraced the darkness in front of him.

He changed his angle, and his mood was completely different, that dark time brought him fear, but once he defeated the fear, the darkness became warm, as if staying in the dark, he had enough security!

He was closer to the darkness than anyone else, as if he was hiding in the womb of the dark mother, as an emperor, especially the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if he did not have the ability to get close to the darkness, how could he control these many black-bellied courtiers?

"Sir, I'm all right."

He finally stood up and spoke outward, in a very calm voice, without the slightest wave.

When Li Mi opened the door, he found that the light snow outside had already become very large, and Li Mi's body was covered with snow, like a snowman.

"Mr. has worked hard......" Zhu Changluo solemnly saluted Li Mi, Li Mi saw that his eyes were firm and his bearing was calm, he also nodded, and said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have finally grown up......"

This sentence sounds a bit arrogant, but Li Mi did watch Zhu Changluo grow up step by step, he was no longer the introverted child hiding behind his mother, as if he had straightened his waist for the first time in all these years!

Zhu Changluo's eyes are also moist, although Li Mi is only ten years older than him, but he respects Li Mi as a father, Li Mi is his biggest backing, and he is his most powerful guide.

"Sir, how can we find out what happened?"

is also a problem, this question shows Zhu Changluo's determination and direction.

At first, he asked Li Mi what to do, but he had no clue, but now he asked Li Mi how to investigate the truth, indicating that he had found the direction.

Li Mi locked him in the study, just expecting his transformation, but now that Zhu Changluo has done it, the goal will naturally be achieved.

"If you want to find out the ins and outs, it's best to ask the son, but the current situation doesn't allow it, so I can only retreat......"

"The complainant claimed that the fire was caused by the release of the fire, and said that the prince came out of the Ordnance Bureau, presumably the two grandmasters Xiang Mu and Shi Chongsheng should know the inside story, so we might as well ask."

Zhu Changluo was also delighted, and said to Li Mi: "Then I will be annoyed with Mr." ”

Li Mi was not verbose, led Zhu Changluo, leaked to the Ordnance Bureau, and found Xiang Mu and Shi Chongsheng.

Both of them are old men with food and clothing, and it is only with their obsession with their skills that they stay in the Ordnance Bureau and develop firearms for the new camp of Shenji and the imperial court.

Of course, the main reason is that they want to turn Li Mi's whimsical ideas into reality.

The magical things that Li Mi said were like opening up a new world for them, and those ideas were the rainbow that led to the future.

In addition to studying skills, their lives are actually not boring, after all, both of them are big collectors, like-minded, and they are not convinced by each other all day long, and their lives are also very lively.

If Zhu Youxiao is just a mediocre royal child, how can the two of them look down on him, Zhu Youxiao is talented, and the second elder has already regarded this little guy as a disciple to inherit the mantle.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao is the eldest grandson of the emperor after all, and the status of the craftsman is not high, even humble.

But even so, the two are still teaching each other, and Zhu Youxiao did not live up to the high expectations of the second elder, as a young man, he is imaginative, easier to accept Li Mi's ideas and ideas than the second elder, in the process of research, he can often wake up the dreamer with a word, and he is also quite innovative and ingenious, often in order to polish a small accessory and stay up all night, and never tired of it.

Such a young man, the second elder is held like a baby, so when Zhu Youxiao was detained, they also walked around, hoping to do something.

It's just that Zhu Yijun has made up his mind this time, how not to let people see Zhu Youxiao, the second elder is also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and is about to go to Li Mi for help, and he is also full of surprise when he sees Li Mi and Zhu Changluo coming.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The two hurriedly saluted, Zhu Changluo waved his hand, and walked in.

"Did my son really go to Zhengyangmen to set fire?" Zhu Changluo didn't hide it, and asked straight to the point.

When the second elder heard this, his face also changed greatly, and he replied to Zhu Changluo.

"The prince did go to Zhengyangmen, and he really let go of a firebird, but when I came back, I didn't see the firehead......"

Shi Chongsheng also echoed on the side: "Yes, the prince imitated Lu Ban, made a flying wooden bird, made it in three days, and ingenious ideas, used * to boost, and flew in mid-air, and it took a quarter of an hour to fall, at that time, I was also happy, after all, it was a novelty, so I took it back and improved it, leaving no hidden dangers at all......

After all, Zhu Youxiao is the eldest grandson of the emperor, it is impossible to go out of the palace to play around, and he also follows the guards, and if he wants to experiment, he needs an open place, but it is undeniable that Zhengyangmen is indeed not a suitable place to go.

It's just that Xiang Mu and Shi Chongsheng are both people who "rely on the old and sell the old", and they also have prestige in the court, and there is no other taboo for them, but there is no obstacle for them, plus Zhu Youxiao is deeply loved by Zhu Yijun, where will he care about this.

At this point, Zhu Changluo did not complain, let alone blame, but cast his eyes on Li Mi.

Since Zhu Youxiao is innocent, he must wash away his grievances, and if you want to wash away your grievances, the best way is naturally to find out the real culprit!

"When did you come back from Zhengyangmen?" Li Mi asked the two, the latter thought about it, and also replied: "It's before the palace ban was closed, the drum sounded at that time, and the prince still didn't want to come back, but that place can't stay for a long time, did the two of us persuade him ......to come back?"

Li Mi asked Zhu Changluo again, "When did the fire start?" ”

Zhu Changluo thought for a moment, and then replied: "Is it after the three-way drum, if this is the case, that is, someone took advantage of the time to go back and set the fire, and there was only one drum in the intermittent time?" ”

After Zhu Changluo swept away his heart disease, he was really rational and calm, and he was finally able to think logically!

However, Li Mi was just silent, his fingers tapping lightly out of thin air, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
