East Palace.

Fang Xiaoru looked at the person in front of him, the words were in his throat, but he could not say them out.

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, a hint of impatience flashed in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, but it was quickly concealed. He put down the book in his hand and took the initiative to talk with a smile on his face.

"I don't know, sir, but what do you want to say to me?"

Hearing this, the former's face lit up with joy. He was about to speak, but he didn't know what words to use. After thinking about it for a moment, he raised his head and made eye contact with the person in front of him.

The words he said made that man's smile gradually stiffen.

Just listen to him.

"I would like to ask Your Highness how involved you were in the affairs of the Prince of Qin."

Bang——

The cup on the table shattered to the ground because Zhu Yunwen suddenly stood up. His expression became distorted, and his dark pupils were filled with anger.

In anger, he was no longer as gentle and elegant as usual, and responded in a cold tone.

"Master Fang, some things are better not known than known. And what do you mean by participating in his affairs? I don't understand a word of it."

Denial.

Fang Xiaoru's face turned pale and he was laughing at himself in his heart. He had known this would happen for a long time.

But when he faced it in person, he still felt a little sad, and he opened his mouth to comfort him again.

"Your Highness, I am doing this for your own good. Please..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking. If it were normal, Zhu Yunwen would still have the thought to say a few tactful words to the loyal veteran in front of him.

Now that I am angry, I will take his thoughts into consideration and question him coldly.

"Master Fang said these words to deliberately anger me?"

After saying this, Fang Xiaoru immediately knelt down and exclaimed.

"I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

This sentence also played into the man's heart, and a smile appeared on his face again.

But now Fang Xiaoru seems a little creepy.

Zhu Yunwen lowered his eyes and waved his hand.

"If that's the case, then let's kneel down."

After saying these words, the person below, Rulin Amnesty, breathed a sigh of relief.

Shout to that back.

"I...resign!"

…

Outside Yingtian Mansion.

Li Hanshan was riding in a dilapidated carriage. Just as he was about to enter Yingtian, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind. Looking at the bright red figure, he couldn't help but smile.

Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life.

Different from when they left, there were far more people here this time. Looking at the unfamiliar black figure, his eyes were full of curiosity. When he was about to ask, he found an old man standing behind everyone.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Li Hanshan never expected that the emperor would personally come to greet him this time when he returned to Beijing. What a virtue and capability! Zhu Shangbing did not have such an honor when he set out to lead the army to quell the rebellion.

Seeing his unsatisfactory look, the man standing next to him couldn't help but shake his head.

And Yue Nanshan was also sizing up this man. He was an out-and-out scholar with a scholarly air, but he was by no means an ordinary person who could be appreciated by Zhu Shangbing.

"Grandpa Huang, if you don't go back first, I will go with them..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking, and Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him.

Zhu Shangbing understood what it meant and walked outside alone. Before he could take a few steps, he was blocked by a gray-robed Taoist.

The man smiled, glanced at Zhu Shangbing first, and then took out a plaque.

"Is this young man coming to tell your fortune?"

Looking at his clothes that are not worth three taels of silver, he is definitely a charlatan. If Zhu Shangbing really believed it, he would be a ghost.

He originally wanted to avoid this person, but unexpectedly he pursued him like a piece of dog-skin plaster, following Zhu Shangbing all the way to the outside of the restaurant.

With no other choice, he could only turn around and shout at the smelly Taoist priest.

"I don't believe in fate."

Unexpectedly...

The Taoist priest suddenly stopped and spoke slowly with a straight face.

"Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it."

Zhu Shangbing's face turned a little solemn. Wasn't it him who changed his fate against the will of heaven?

Maybe this charlatan has some skills.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that the waiter from the restaurant appeared out of nowhere, holding a stick in his hand and saying hello to the guy.

"If you don't get out of here, I will close the door and beat the dog."

From the argument between the two, it can be concluded that this person is really a charlatan. Fortunately, he was not sober just now, otherwise it would be like a meat bun beating a dog and never coming back.

When Zhu Shangbing turned around and left, the man's voice came faintly from behind.

"Young Master, I am advising you to turn back and make the best of it!"

"Look for a fight!"

…

Returning to the Linde Hall, he tossed and turned, and finally came to Zhu Ping's residence. Looking at his leisurely appearance, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Dad, I have something to ask you."

"Do you believe in fate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xi stood up, looked at him with strange eyes, and then shook his head.

He was still mumbling these words.

Only when Zhu Shangbing heard it came out.

"It's not the right time for this kid to be stupid. He's about to start a family."

With a smile on his face, he took out the wicker prepared by Zhu Xi and walked forward for a few steps. Then he stopped thinking and coughed lightly.

Embarrassment shrouded the relationship between father and son.

Soon Zhu Xiangbian couldn't bear it anymore and took out a box from the room which contained a jade pendant.

The appearance...is very familiar.

"This is a gift for you, no need to be polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Shangbing took out another dragon and phoenix jade pendant from his arms.

Looking at the identical items, the smile on the corner of the cheap daddy's mouth was stiff. He was about to walk out angrily, still shouting.

"The thief said it was unique, but there is another one!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but wonder if there would be a third one.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to visit.

It's Zhu Yunxi.

He asked the eunuch who pushed him to leave, looked at the father and son, first smiled at King Qin, and then said to Zhu Shangbing.

"When will you take me to your fiefdom to treat my leg?"

After saying this, King Qin looked at his son with a strange look, as if he was wondering why the two of them were so familiar with each other. Didn't they fight to the death before?

Even...

His eyes fell on Zhu Yunxi's legs, with some sympathy in his eyes.

"When my father lifts the ban and you go to your fiefdom, remember to go back to your fiefdom after your leg is healed. A large number of officials are about to be dismissed from their posts. It's time for you to show off your grand ambitions."

When the news came, Zhu Yunxi had doubts in his eyes, as if he was asking why a large number of officials were dismissed. Then a list was handed to him.

His complexion slowly improved, and there was a faint smile on his lips.

"Half of the list is from Zhu Yunwen's side."

An unexpected surprise.

Zhu Shangbing originally just thought that getting rid of these officials would make it easier for Zhu Yunxi to perform, but who knew that this would happen.

He also had an unkind smile on his face.

Suddenly the words of the charlatan came to mind.
