Chapter 35 Return to the palace and face the saint
However, Zhu Di only sneered, and leaned back on the back of the chair again.
He didn't plan to talk about these things with Zhu Gaochi.
"That's it, your second brother should be back soon, you just wait here for a while, and when the second brother enters the palace, let him come to see me immediately."
Zhu Gaochi raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Di.
But he couldn't understand the look on Zhu Di's face.
He had to bow his head and answer.
"Erchen understands."
Time passed little by little, and after half an hour, Zhu Gaoxu did not come back.
"Someone!"
Zhu Di finally couldn't help it, and called the eunuch at the door.
"Your Majesty, the minions are here!"
The eunuch hurriedly stepped into the hall and knelt in front of Zhu Di.
"Why hasn't the second prince returned to the palace yet?"
Zhu Di lowered his eyes and looked at the eunuch in front of him, he was not angry and arrogant, which made the eunuch tremble a little.
"Your Majesty, the second prince is already on the way, and it should be there in half an hour."
Zhu Di's face looked a little better, and after he let the eunuch go out, he sat down again and looked at Zhu Gaochi.
"Honestly, do you want to see the second child?"
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi with a little scrutiny in his eyes.
"Father, to tell you the truth, Erchen doesn't want to see the second brother, because I am afraid that there will be a lot of misunderstanding between me and him, and it will not be convenient for the two of us to meet before the misunderstanding is resolved."
The meaning of Zhu Gaochi's words is already obvious, that is, he hopes that Zhu Di can give up and let the two of them meet.
But although Zhu Di understood the meaning of Zhu Gaochi's words, he did not let Zhu Gaochi leave.
Zhu Gaochi understood what Zhu Di meant, and he had to sit on the chair uncomfortably.
After more than half an hour, Zhu Gaoxu finally arrived in the palace.
When he entered Beijing, Zhu Gaoxu let the dark night leave first.
At this moment, he is only a palace that he enters alone.
"Second Highness, Your Majesty said, when you see Your Royal Highness returning to the palace, let Your Highness go down to face the saint."
Zhu Gaoxu's brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Did my father tell me what to do in the past?"
"I haven't indicated it, but Your Majesty and the crown prince have been waiting for Your Highness for nearly two hours, please hurry up."
After the eunuch finished speaking, he left quickly.
Zhu Gaoxu still stood in place for a long time, he didn't know that he was going to face the saint as soon as he returned to the palace, and his eldest brother was also waiting for him, how the two would treat him.
But Zhu Gaoxu also knew in his heart that the next person had already passed the word to himself, and if he didn't go, he was afraid that it would not work.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu still went to see Zhu Di.
"Son-in-law, see father!"
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu stepped into the hall, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Di.
Although he didn't look at Zhu Gaochi on the side, he also knew that Zhu Gaochi's gaze was falling on him at the moment.
"Get up and sit down."
Zhu Di slowly opened his mouth and said to Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu originally wanted to say that he could just stand, but when he met Zhu Di's stern gaze, he still walked to the side and sat down.
"Tell me, where have you been these two days?"
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu knew in his heart that Zhu Di was afraid that he had already known that he had gone to Penglai County.
Without hesitation, he fell to his knees again.
"Father, Erchen heard that his father went to Penglai County a few days ago, and he also brought a lot of things back, Erchen was a little curious, so he went to Penglai County in person."
Zhu Di chuckled.
"Just a trip and nothing was done?"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak again, he didn't know what Zhu Di meant by what he asked.
It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor's mind has been very difficult to guess since ancient times.
Zhu Di looked at the silent Zhu Gaoxu, sighed before continuing to speak.
"I know that you have always cared about me, but you should also care about your eldest brother."
Only then did Zhu Gaoxu look up at Zhu Gaochi who was sitting on the side.
He didn't know what to say to his big brother.
The brotherhood between the two seems to have disappeared after the two grew up.
"Big brother."
Zhu Gaochu looked at Zhu Gaochi for a long time, and finally only spit out these two words.
At the same time, he has been thinking about what Xu Zilin said about the distinction between concubines and concubines.
Zhu Di looked at the two of them like this, and he also knew that the estrangement in the hearts of the two of them could not be eliminated in a while.
With a sigh, he still opened his mouth to let Zhu Gaochi leave first.
"Prince, you go down first, I still have some things to tell the second child alone."
"Erchen understands."
Zhu Gaochi slowly stood up, and then left the hall.
didn't even look at Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaochu didn't care, anyway, he didn't care about the brotherhood between himself and Zhu Gaochi.
"You get up first."
Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaoxu at this time.
Since Zhu Gaochi was gone, Zhu Gaochu naturally got up quickly and looked up at Zhu Di in front of him.
"Father."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Di and whispered.
"Let's talk about it, what did Xu Zilin tell you?"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't think that Zhu Di would ask Xu Zilin about it first, he was stunned, and he didn't know whether to say what Xu Zilin said to him.
"If you want to say it, you can say it, hesitate about anything."
Zhu Di squinted slightly, with Zhu Gaoxu's understanding of him, he knew that this was a precursor to his impatience.
"Father, Xu Zilin's words are a little too demagogic, but Erchen thinks it's ......"
"Do you think that Xu Zilin can say what kind of words he can say, I don't know in my heart."
Zhu Di directly interrupted Zhu Gaoxu's words.
Only then did Zhu Gaoxu realize that Zhu Di had been to Penglai County more than once, and he must know much more about Xu Zilin than himself.
Only then did he relay all the words that Xu Zilin said to himself to Zhu Di.
When Zhu Gaoxu fell silent after speaking, Zhu Di was still immersed in those words.
"I have to admit that this Xu Zilin does have two brushes."
Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak.
Although he sometimes agrees with Xu Zilin's words, he also knows that Xu Zilin's words will undoubtedly cause many people to be dissatisfied when they appear in today's world, and even many people will want to eliminate this person.
"Don't say these words about Xu Zilin, including him as a person, do you understand what I mean."
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly heard Zhu Di's words, he looked at Zhu Di with a surprised face.
But then, Zhu Gaoxu understood what Zhu Di meant.
He nodded slightly, "Erchen understands, and please rest assured." ”
Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief.
"But this time you secretly went to Penglai County with me on your back, do you know what is wrong?"
"Father, the son knows that he is wrong, and he asks his father to punish him!"
"But it's good that you haven't revealed your identity, otherwise according to this Xu Zilin's temperament, I'm afraid you will have to hide from me in the future."
