Chapter 23 Zhu Yunxi, you return my stewed chicken!(1/2)

Zhu Yunxi said it again, and when he saw that San Dezi was still staying where he was, he couldn't help but urge him again.

"Why are you still standing there? Come over and help!"

Wang De hurriedly stepped forward, stood on tiptoes, took down the copper stove from the bookshelf, and handed it to His Highness.

"Your Highness, come down quickly, don't trample this book!"

"oh?"

"Can this thing be broken by stepping on it?"

Seeing His Highness get down from the book, Wang De hurriedly knelt down to pick it up, and carefully wiped the footprints on it with his sleeves.

"Your Highness, don't you remember, this was the Crown Prince's favorite book during his lifetime, and it was specially given to you as a souvenir before his death."

"ah?"

Zhu Yunxi cursed secretly, how could he be such a bastard for messing up his father's relics like this?

"Is this book valuable?"

"valuable……"

Wang De was directly defeated by His Highness. This thing is about grief and emotion. Can it be measured in money?

Although Wang De was full of curses in his heart, seeing the earnestness on His Highness's face, he still patiently explained a few words.

"It's definitely valuable. This type of Song Dynasty engraving cost a hundred taels of silver when it was first released. It has been handed down for hundreds of years, so it must be worth a few thousand taels at least, right?"

"But this kind of precious book cannot be measured by money, not to mention that it is left to you by the Crown Prince, and it also has the Crown Prince's annotations on it..."

"What!"

"Thousands of taels!"

Zhu Yunxi was no longer in the mood to listen to Wang De selling his feelings. All he could think about now was selling this set of books.

As for keeping it for yourself?

Sorry, he never thought about it at all. He is a bad student and he doesn't deserve it.

"oops!"

"My father left me such a good thing, why don't you remind me!"

"If this is stepped on and broken, I will be heartbroken to death!"

"Give it to me quickly, I want to sleep with my arms around it tonight!"

Zhu Yunxi greedily grabbed the "Historical Records" set, then ran to the head of the bed and placed it next to his pillow.

When Wang De saw His Highness so nervous, his nose felt sore and his eye circles could not help but turn red.

His Highness may seem heartless, but in his heart he still cares about the Crown Prince and his relics...

Perhaps in the mind of His Highness, this "Historical Records" is no longer an ordinary historical record, but the incarnation of the Crown Prince!

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has left you many relics, as well as Crown Princess Jingyi's..."

"ah?"

"besides!"

"Where is it? Find it for me and I'll see if it's worth anything!"

Wang De was stunned when he heard this and couldn't even cry.

Why is it money again?

Could it be that His Highness does not value the Crown Prince's relics because of them, but because they are valuable?

Wang De wanted to understand the key and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. He suddenly realized a serious problem, that is, his Wang De's feelings were wrongly paid after all!

"Your Highness, those relics cannot be thrown away. They are kept well in the boxes."

"By the way, why did you want this incense burner just now?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he remembered that he still had business to do.

"oh!"

"I'm investigating something."

"By the way, you were taken away by the Jin Yiwei today. Did they torture you?"

Wang De felt warm in his heart when he heard His Highness' concern.

He found that His Highness had really grown up and actually cared about others.

If this had happened before, he would never have thought of this at all, let alone asked himself about it.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Instead of suffering any punishment, this servant got a reward of two taels of silver, hehehehe."

"Yo!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately showed a surprised expression when he heard this.

"That's right. If you can get out of Jinyiwei in one piece, you'll be able to brag about it for a lifetime!"

Wang De also felt a small sense of luck in surviving the disaster.

"Who says it's not..."

"However, this is not because of the slave's good fortune, but because the Jin Yiwei took it easy for the sake of Duke Liang."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Wang De warily.

"What's your relationship with my great-uncle?"

"Have you forgotten, Your Highness? My family was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case, and it was only because Duke Liang begged for mercy that I narrowly escaped death!"

"oh……"

When Zhu Yunxi heard that Hu Weiyong was involved, he didn't bother to ask.

The Hu Weiyong case involved so many, so wide, and spanned a long time. Let alone thousands of years, it was unparalleled even in the Hongwu Dynasty where major cases occurred frequently.

Even more than ten years after Hu Weiyong's death, people are still often implicated in the Hu Weiyong case.

Even Li Shanchang, the most important figure in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, was eventually implicated in the Hu Weiyong case and was executed by his entire family.

If we use a popular saying from later generations to describe it, it would be that although Hu Weiyong is dead, the legend of my brother will always be circulated in the court!

It's just that for the people in the court, they all want to be as far away from this old man as possible, and it's best to have nothing to do with him.

Zhu Yunxi held the incense burner and studied it for a while. He didn't find any clues, so he threw it aside.

When Wang De saw this, he immediately asked in confusion.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with this incense burner?"

"No problem, I just wanted to take a look at it on a whim."

"this……"

A huge question mark appeared on Wang De's forehead.

He felt that His Highness seemed a little strange today. Why was he looking at this thing so well?

In fact, this incense burner was the last item Zhu Yunxi investigated.

Since he came back from Qianqing Palace, he has been rummaging through his bedroom for suspicious items.

Since Lu didn't poison through food, it might have been the air or something he could come into contact with every day.

After searching inside and outside the palace, he found nothing, so he focused on the incense burner on the bookshelf.

But after inspection, I found that this incense burner is very ordinary and does not look fishy at all.

If Zhu Yunxi hadn't thought that the incense burner was made of copper and could be sold for some money, he might have just thrown it away.

"Sandoku, please put it back where it belongs."

"promise!"

Just as Wang De put the incense burner back on the bookshelf, he heard His Highness behind him speaking again.

"By the way, Sandoku, when will we have dinner in the palace?"

"I'm going to starve to death!"

"dinner?"

Wang De looked at His Highness in surprise.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that we don't eat in the palace at night?"

"This is a rule set by His Majesty. What do you mean by not eating after lunch?"

"But I heard from the seniors in the palace that I didn't cook at night because I was afraid of a fire."

Zhu Yunxi immediately became angry when he heard this.

"What!"
