"Mother, it's me." Zhu Gui did not resist, but said softly.

Zhu Gui was hugged by Concubine Guo Hui like this, and I don't know how long it took to be let go.

"My son, you have lost weight, are you still used to eating Shanxi's diet? Or are you too tired on weekdays? The road back to Beijing this time is not easy, right? By the way, do you and the princess already have children? ”

Concubine Guo Hui asked a lot of questions, and Zhu Gui answered them one by one.

Only the last question made him not know how to speak, but he was afraid that Guo Huifei would continue to pursue it, so he could only tell a 'white lie', which made Guo Huifei very satisfied.

"Mother, how is the prince's condition?" After the two chatted for a long time, Zhu Gui finally asked the question he was very concerned about.

When Concubine Guo Huifei heard Zhu Gui's words, her face suddenly became a little ugly.

She looked at the door, and then lowered her voice and said to Zhu Gui: "Actually, the prince died of illness a week ago, but because the vassal kings of all walks of life have not yet arrived in Nanjing, there is no mourning, and the emperor is very angry about this, and said that he will severely punish a few people who are late, my mother is really worried about you, so I sneaked out of the palace to remind you, you must not annoy the emperor again." ”

"What? Has the prince died of illness? This king didn't even see the last face of the royal brother. Zhu Gui said with a sad face.

But his heart was more shocked than sad, he thought he still had plenty of time, but he didn't expect that it had already happened, and this was only the beginning, and what was going to happen next was the real danger.

Moreover, Zhu Gui also gave the prince the medicine in the system store before leaving last time, how could he die of illness so quickly? Or is there something else going on here?

But no matter what, what Zhu Gui has to do now is to protect himself and strive to leave Nanjing alive.

But when he thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's love for the prince, Zhu Gui faintly felt uneasy, he wouldn't be involved, right?

To be on the safe side, he asked Guo Huifei several details about the prince's condition, but the answers he got were very vague.

This is also something that can't be helped, although the harem and the east palace are both in the palace, but Concubine Guo Hui can't leave the harem at ordinary times, and the sources are mostly gossip.

The mother and son chatted for another half an hour before Concubine Guo Hui reluctantly left.

And Zhu Gui did not ask the most critical question in the end, that is, whether Guo Huifei was willing to leave Nanjing with him and settle in Datong Mansion.

It's really Zhu Gui who feels that the time is not ripe.

After Concubine Guo Hui left the Xu Mansion, Zhu Gui came to the main hall and happened to see the happy Xu family.

It turned out that Xu Miaoqing also came secretly after learning that Zhu Gui had come to Xu's mansion.

Now only Xu Miaoqing's eldest brother and eldest sister are left in the Xu family, and they have not arrived.

But this is also something that can't be helped, Xu Miaoqing's eldest brother is stationed at the border pass, and he rarely has the opportunity to go home, as for Xu Miaoqing's eldest sister Xu Miaoyun, that is, Princess Yan, she should still be on the way at the moment.

Yandi is farther away from Nanjing than Datong Mansion.

At this Xu family banquet, Xu Guogong, Xu Yingxu and Zhu Gui did not talk about the affairs of the court very tacitly, but talked about some trivial matters in life happily.

The only thing that made Xu Miaoqing a little embarrassed was that when Xu's mother asked her when she was going into labor, she could only lie like Zhu Gui, but this made the Xu family happy.

Xu Guogong immediately asked his subordinates to hang all the red lanterns in the inner courtyard.

This made Xu's mother a little worried, after all, now that the prince died of illness, the whole of Nanjing was shrouded in an atmosphere of slaughter, if the court knew that the Xu Mansion hung a red lantern, I am afraid that someone would take the opportunity to impeach.

However, Xu Guogong didn't care, he shirked it for only one day, and it was still in the inner court, so he would not be known by the imperial court.

Xu Miaoqing and Zhu Gui glanced at each other, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in their eyes.

That night, the two were asked to stay in Xu's house.

Fortunately, Mother Xu was kind and did not let the two live in the same room.

However, Zhu Gui was already thinking about this matter, that is, how to take down Xu Miaoqing.

Before the soul piercing, although Zhu Gui was an otaku, he was much more concerned about those things between men and women than most people in this world.

And Xu Miaoqing is also a little beauty in the city, in a few years, she will definitely be even more beautiful, this can be regarded as another compensation from God, so what is he still hesitating about?

In fact, Zhu Gui himself didn't know what he thought, and in the end he could only give himself a plausible answer, that is, he didn't want to live up to Xu Miaoqing.

That's right, he likes Xu Miaoqing very much, but whether this is love or not, he doesn't know it himself.

And he didn't know when his soul piercing journey would end, and when he returned to his original world, wouldn't that be a very terrible blow to Xu Miaoqing?

Although in history, Xu Miaoqing also gave birth to many children for the real Zhu Gui, but whether there is a relationship between the two, he has no way to verify.

So in order to live up to Xu Miaoqing before, he never pierced the last layer of window paper.

But now, the two of them have lied to their families, and if there is no more action, sooner or later this lie will be exposed.

Zhu Gui was thinking about this when he suddenly heard a slight sound of pushing the door.

"Who?" Zhu Gui asked vigilantly, and at the same time took out the gun.

"Lord Wang, it's me." Xu Miaoqing's voice came from outside the door.

"Didn't you stay over there?" Although Zhu Gui said this, he quickly got out of bed and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Xu Miaoqing, who was dressed in a big hat and her little face was red from the cold.

The latter suddenly threw himself into Zhu Gui's arms, which made Zhu Gui's body stiffen.

"My mother fell asleep, I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come and chat with the prince, you won't dislike the concubine, right?"

As she spoke, Xu Miaoqing raised a smile and looked at Zhu Gui pitifully.

"How so? But there is only one bed in this room. Zhu Gui said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, we are husband and wife, we should have slept together a long time ago, and the concubine lied to her family today...... So, so, Lord Wang, is it that as long as we sleep together, we will have babies in the future? ”

Xu Miaoqing's voice became smaller and smaller, and her face became more and more red.

When Zhu Gui heard this, he sighed lightly in his heart and said, "Didn't your mother-in-law even teach you this kind of thing?" Then let the father teach you, right? ”

After that, Zhu Gui picked up Xu Miaoqing horizontally, didn't even care if the big one fell to the ground, and then walked towards the bed.

Xu Miaoqing's heart was about to jump out, she could feel that Zhu Gui was not joking, and nervously grabbed Zhu Gui's shoulder.

"Lord Wang, you must be gentle."
