278. The Emperor Knows the Truth

The next day, early in the morning, Du did not forget to take Mingxi quietly into the third floor of the Daci Pavilion of Zhenjue Zen Temple.

Because the two of them have already inquired, after Emperor Zhu Houxi burns incense, he will come to the third floor of this Daci Pavilion to eat fasting.

And Du Buyi and Mingxi were hiding on the side of the wall cage next to the emperor who was about to eat food on the third floor.

The two waited until noon, and after evading several inspections by guards and monks in the temple, they finally waited for Emperor Zhu Houxi.

At this time, Zhu Houxi was wearing a cyan Taoist robe, dressed as a Taoist priest, and after walking to the futon that had been prepared and sitting down, a monk immediately moved a long table, and then successively served a bowl of porridge and a few plates of vegetarian dishes, and these monks all withdrew, leaving Zhu Houyu alone here to drink porridge and eat vegetarian dishes.

It can be seen that Zhu Houxi seemed to be in a good mood at this time, and after taking a sip of porridge, he recited the poem to himself:

"Whoever sees Lingxu Pavilion will stay with the residents for a grand view. ”

At this time, Du did not forget to see this, so he came out and said that he also read a sentence:

"Zhenjue Temple in Baoding City, now Lingqing Immortals!"

Zhu Houxi, at this time, was startled, and when he heard this voice, it seemed a little familiar, and he immediately looked up, and said to Du Yiyi with a surprised face:

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Du Bu Bu smiled and said:

"Second brother, don't forget, your eldest brother and I also have a haunting reputation!"

Zhu Houxi also smiled, and then said:

"You are a ghost, but when you fought against the Tatars in the north, how did the Tatars use it here?"

Du did not forget to find a futon on the ground, and after sitting down, he said to Zhu Houxi:

"I'm here to accompany someone to you!"

Zhu Houxi immediately asked:

"Who could ask your eldest brother to bring him to me, this is the first time I've heard of it!"

Du did not forget to point to the front and said:

"Look, it's her!"

Then he said:

"Let's talk, I'll go outside!"

Then after going out, he quickly restrained the two guards outside the door and guarded the door himself.

At this time, Zhu Houxi saw Mingxi come out with his stomach up, and looked at Mingxi with incredible eyes.

Mingxi saw Zhu Houxi looking at him like this, so he said:

"Presumably the emperor, you are also surprised, why am I hiding here waiting for you, right?"

Zhu Houxi immediately walked in front of Mingxi and said with concern:

"Ai Concubine, aren't you raising a baby in the palace, why did you come here so far with your belly, even if you don't care about your body, you have to think about our crown prince in your belly!"

Mingxi bit his lip lightly, pushed away Zhu Houxi in front of him, and then turned around and said:

"Your Majesty, I came this time because I want to make it clear to you!"

Zhu Houxi followed Mingxi again, looked at her and said:

"If there is anything, let's go back to the palace and say it, why bother here?"

Mingxi turned around again and continued to turn his back to Zhu Houxi and said:

"I must make things clear to the emperor today!"

Zhu Houxi insisted and sat back on the futon, and then said to Mingxi:

"Aifei, since you have something to talk to me, then you can sit down and talk about it!"

Mingxi sat directly on the long table where Zhu Houxi was eating, and said to Zhu Houxi:

"Your Majesty, you can promise Mingxi, if I tell you the truth, can you forgive Mingxi?"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"Aifei, no matter what, I won't blame you, you say!"

Mingxi slowed down and said:

"Your Majesty, have you heard of Emperor Jianwen?"

Zhu Houxi listened to it, and then said:

"You're talking about Emperor Jianwen of my dynasty?"

Mingxi replied:

"Exactly!"

Zhu Houxi said:

"Although Emperor Jianwen has no fault, but he misemployed people, and the officials used were malicious people who maliciously provoked the relationship between my ancestor Emperor Taizong and Emperor Jianwen's uncle and nephew, causing their uncles and nephews to turn against each other, when my ancestor Emperor Taizong entered Yingtianfu, that is, more than a hundred years ago, didn't he die in Yingtianfu Palace?"

Mingxi replied:

"Didn't Your Majesty hear that Emperor Taizong had sent the then eunuch Zheng He to the sea several times to find out the news of Emperor Jianwen?"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"These are all rumors, but after all these years, it's hard to tell between right and wrong. ”

Mingxi then said:

"But although these things have passed, the generations of emperors after Emperor Taizong have not let go of Emperor Jianwen and his descendants!"

Zhu Houxi immediately said at this time:

"Concubine Ai, why do you always mention Emperor Jianwen to me today, didn't he die back then, do you know his whereabouts?"

Mingxi replied:

"Yes, I want to tell you now that Emperor Jianwen did not die back then, but fled to an unknown island!"

After hearing this, Zhu Houxi was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked again:

"Aifei, where did you hear this?"

At this time, Mingxi said:

"Because I am the queen of Emperor Jianwen!"

Then he took out a poem written by Emperor Jianwen brought over on Penglai Island from his arms, only to see that it read:

"Who will pinch the jade nails to break the marks in the sky! The shadow falls to the bottom of the cold pool, and the fish and dragon dare not swallow it. ”

Zhu Houxi took a closer look at the painting at this time, and then said:

This is indeed the authentic work of Emperor Jianwen, as well as this seal, this poem was written when Emperor Taizu ordered the princes to chant the new moon, Emperor Jianwen was made when he was a child, but Emperor Taizu was not happy when he heard this poem. ”

Then he immediately asked Mingxi in surprise:

"Aifei, how can you be the queen of Emperor Jianwen?"

明汐 says:

"I am Zhu Mingxi, the granddaughter of Zhu Wenzao, the youngest son born to Emperor Jianwen after he fled, and I should be your aunt's generation according to my generation, when I learned the news from my father, I was also shocked at that time!"

Zhu Houxi was stunned at this time, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, and then said:

"I didn't expect that we are the same clan as Concubine Ai, and you are also the queen of our royal family!"

Then he immediately asked:

"Mingxi, but you already have our crown prince in your belly, you must not let anyone know this news, okay?"

Mingxi replied:

"Of course I do, but I want to tell you ......!"

Zhu Houxi said at this time:

"Isn't that Puhui the prince of Fusang? how can he be the queen of Emperor Jianwen?"

interrupted Mingxi's words.

Mingxi had to tell Zhu Houxi about the truth and falsehood.

After Zhu Houxi listened, he continued to ask Mingxi again:

"Then where is my father-in-law now? We have to take him to the palace and take care of him!"

Mingxi said:

"He's waiting for me outside the city, Your Majesty, I still want to tell you something!"

Zhu Houxi said:

"Mingxi, that's it!"

Mingxi finally mustered up the courage to say:

"Your Majesty, in fact, the fetus in my womb is not yours!"

After listening to this, Zhu Houxi jumped up directly from the futon, and then grabbed Mingxi's hand and asked:

"Mingxi, what did you just say?"

Mingxi repeated again:

"The fetus in my womb is not the emperor's yours!"

Zhu Houxi was excited, then grabbed Mingxi's hand tightly and asked loudly:

"And tell me whose it belongs to?"

Mingxi then said:

"I don't think it's the emperor, you should be happy, why is this, I just told the emperor, I have an aunt and nephew relationship with the emperor!"

At this time, Zhu Houxi directly slapped Mingxi hard, and then pulled Mingxi and said:

"Tell me, whose is it?"

Du didn't forget to hear the sound at this time, and he couldn't help it, rushed in, directly pushed Zhu Houxi aside, hugged Mingxi in his arms, and then said to Zhu Houxi:

"The child in Mingxi's belly is mine!"

Zhu Houxi trembled his hands at this time, pointed at Du and said:

"Big brother, you...... You're ......!"

Seeing this, Du did not forget to say, and hurriedly said to Mingxi:

"Since we are also sober, let's go quickly!"

Then hugged Mingxi and went down to this Daci Pavilion, and at this time I only heard Zhu Houxi shouting upstairs to the bottom:

"Arrest them for me, and don't let them run away. ”

Du didn't think that he pulled out the Tai'a sword, hugged Mingxi with one hand, and brandished the Tai'a sword with the other, killed this Zhenjue Zen Temple, and fled to the place outside the city to make an appointment with his father-in-law Puhui and mother-in-law Yulian.

At this time, I saw that there seemed to be a fight here, and there seemed to be a pool of blood on the ground, and the carriage was normally resting by the tree.

Because there were chasing soldiers not far behind, Du Buyi immediately opened the curtain of the carriage and wanted to help Mingxi get into the car, but found that there was an old Taoist priest on the carriage who walked out with a smile, which shocked Du Buxing, this Taoist priest was Shao Yuanjie.

Du Bu Bu hurriedly helped Mingxi to the side of the tree, and then said to Shao Yuanjie with a sword:

"Why are you here?

Shao Yuanjie laughed again and shouted to the woods on the side:

"Bring me the two old ones!"

After a while, several soldiers walked out with the wounded Puhui and Yulian.

At this time, I only heard Puhui shout to Du Yiyi:

"Leave us alone, hurry up and take Xi'er away!"

At this time, Zhu Houxi happened to be with countless people, leaned over, and said to Du Yifu:

"Don't even think about running away today!"

Then he came over and pointed to Pratt & Whitney and said:

"You're the Jianwen Yu Zhu Jianlamb, right?"

Pratt & Whitney laughed, and then replied:

"It turns out that you are the descendant of the rebellious minister and thief Zhu Di, when I saw your uncle, you didn't kneel down for me to say goodbye!"

Zhu Houxi replied:

"Emperor Jianwen's remnants are still so arrogant now, but I have a way to cure you!"

Then he walked over to Mingxi and said:

"Xi'er, you really disappointed me, I only liked you in my life except for Lian'er, I didn't expect you to treat me like this!"

Du did not forget to block in front of Mingxi at this time, and said to Zhu Houxi:

"Mingxi and I were originally a couple in love, you broke us up, and you still have the face to talk about her?

Zhu Houxi sneered and said:

"Jianwen Yu has already been expelled, how can he be worthy of my Ming royal family?

Du did not forget to say:

"Okay, so what do you want now?"

Zhu Houxi pointed to Du Buyi and Puhui, Yulian, and Mingxi on the side, and said:

"You rebels and thieves, I will arrest them all and slowly torture Zhishi, so that you can taste the pain in my heart at this time!"

Du Cheng said:

"Okay, since it has fallen into your hands and I have appointed it, I only hope that you will let Mingxi and his flesh and blood go!"

Zhu Houxi replied directly:

"No way, I won't let go of that slut and the evil seed born with you!"

Seeing this, Du did not forget to come over and hug Mingxi, and asked her:

"Mingxi, do you regret being with me?"

Mingxi shook his head and said:

"I don't regret it, because those days with you were the happiest time of my life!"

Du Cheng said:

"Me too!"

Then he turned to Zhu Houxi and said:

"Since you don't let go of Mingxi and the child in his belly, then Mingxi and I will die here today, and we won't bend our knees to die!"

Then he stabbed at Zhu Houxi with his sword.

Seeing this, Shao Yuanjie on the side immediately jumped over, rescued Zhu Houxi, and waved his palm towards Du Yuanjie, Du Yuanjie and Shao Yuanjie After a few moves, they naturally began to gradually lose the enemy, and was injured by Shao Yuanjie on the ground with a palm.

Just when Du was in despair, he heard a sudden shout from all over the mountains nearby:

"Catch the demon road...... Catch the Dog Emperor...... Catch the demon ......!"
