When Zhu Yunwen heard that Grandpa Huang gently let him go, he felt relieved, feeling that he had finally gotten rid of the shameful burden of the war.

However, the moment he walked out of Qianqing Palace, he felt a sudden regret in his heart.

Vaguely, I felt as if I had done something wrong, which made Grandpa Huang disappointed with me.

He wanted to go back and admit his mistake, but when he thought of the majesty of Grandpa Huang, his legs walked forward uncontrollably, all the way back to the Prince's Mansion.

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Crown Princess Lu was looking coldly as she asked several of the guards accompanying Zhu Yunwen.

"I am asking you to accompany me to protect Zhu Yunwen, but I am not asking you to be blind or deaf!"

"Who can tell me what is going on?"

"Isn't everything going well over there at the Military War Bureau? Why did the craftsmen suddenly rebel, and why did the warehouse suddenly catch fire?"

Several guards looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, wondering what to say about this kind of thing.

If you say this, how can you still hang out in the escort circle in the capital in the future?

Several people thought about it secretly, and still felt that being loyal to Zhu Yunwen was in their best interests, so they gritted their teeth and did not reveal a word.

"To report back to the Crown Princess, the humble minister and others really don't know about this matter. The humble minister and the others are only protecting His Highness's safety. We have no idea about His Highness' employment in the military affairs department..."

When Lu heard this, he also felt that it made sense. They were just guards, how could they interfere with the internal affairs of the military affairs bureau.

However, when she saw the expressions of several people, she always felt that they were hiding something from her.

Mrs. Lu snorted coldly.

"You guys think about it before we talk, otherwise I won't be polite!"

"The lower-ranking class certainly didn't hide anything..."

"Palm mouth!"

Several guards were stunned when they heard this, and then slapped their hands obediently.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but sneered when she saw them beating them several times.

"Are you washing your face?"

"Hit me hard!"

When several guards heard this, they felt very aggrieved, but they still did not dare to disobey the princess, so they could only slap themselves in the face with all their strength.

After beating her for dozens of times, Lu finally shouted to stop.

"Let's say it again this time!"

After being slapped dozens of times, several guards suddenly hesitated. But when they thought that they had been slapped, wouldn't it be in vain if they betrayed the emperor's grandson again?

"Replying to the Crown Princess, what I said is the truth. I really don't know..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu sneered again.

"Come here, drag out these tough-talking guys. Each one weighs a hundred big boards!"

One hundred big boards?

Several people were stunned when they heard this punishment. This thing might be fatal!

Fortunately, they have a good relationship with Chen Geng, the guard commander of the Prince's Mansion. They often drink and eat meat together, and they will definitely not beat them to death.

But the pain of the skin must be uncomfortable. If you don't lie down for ten and a half days, you can't even think about going to the ground.

But even so, they still didn't open their mouths, wanting to keep their reputation of loyalty.

"promise!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Geng, the commander of the East Palace Guards, immediately accepted the order and said yes. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen guards rushed up and dragged several people out of the Prince's Mansion.

When several people were dragged out, they were still immersed in their fantasies about Zhu Yunwen, thinking that when Zhu Yunwen became emperor in the future, he would definitely use them as much as the emperor used Lord Hu.

However, when several people were dragged out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion and saw Zhu Yunwen shivering outside the door, they collectively broke through the defense.

They were beaten to death by the Crown Princess in order to keep the grandson's secret, and the grandson didn't even dare to go in and plead for them?

"Your Highness, we were wronged..."

"His Royal Highness, you have to say something fair for us!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard the guards' pleading, he remained unmoved and even had the urge to escape from the Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, he just wanted to hide in Xiaoman's arms and pour out all the grievances and unhappiness in his heart.

When Mrs. Lu heard the guards shouting "His Royal Highness," she immediately knew that her son had returned from Qianqing Palace.

So, Mrs. Lu stood in the courtyard and scolded.

"The traitor!"

"Get out of here before I can!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard his mother's scolding, he was so frightened that his legs weakened on the spot. Then he walked slowly into the courtyard. When he was still two feet away from his mother and concubine, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Mom, please calm down..."

"My son is incompetent and failed to manage the war situation well. He has embarrassed his mother and concubine. Wuwuwu..."

Lu felt really hurt when she heard this. She had offended the old Zhu Yuanzhang several times because of this rebellious son, causing Zhu Yuanzhang to send people to slap her and punish her for copying women's rules. Now she even pulled out someone to celebrate her birthday. Reason, let yourself embroider the Tao Te Ching for him!

This is nonsense!

The old guy didn't even think about it. With the few words he knew as a monk, how could he understand the Tao Te Ching?

"To be honest, is it because you treated the craftsmen harshly and made them dissatisfied?"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he swore to the sky.

"No!"

"My son has always been very kind to them and allowed them to eat every meal. However, those unscrupulous people did not know how to be grateful. They believed in the villain's instigation, made trouble for no reason, and set fire to the warehouse..."

"Is there meat in every meal?"

When Mrs. Lu heard "Every meal has meat", her scalp felt numb, and she thought to herself that it was over, maybe this time the incident happened because of "Every meal has meat".

She has learned how to manage a house from her mother since she was a child, and she is very aware of the difficulties of the servants below.

Just being nice to them for no reason will not gain their gratitude, but will only make them think you are weak and can be bullied.

In addition, this is the treatment of meat every meal...

The average wealthy family in the city would not dare to say that they can eat meat every day. This stupid son of his own entertains a group of lowly craftsmen like this. Isn't he obviously a fool?

The normal routine is to improve the food every three to five, or to reward a meal of meat for doing a good job, completing a number of saddles in advance, etc. How can there be any reason to eat meat every time?

"Didn't the Ministry of Industry send someone to manage it for you?"

Zhu Yunwen hesitated a little and then lied bravely.

"without……"

"Where is the military department?"

"Neither..."

The guards who were being beaten outside the door collectively broke their defense when they saw that Zhu Yunwen had not interceded for them for so long.

"Crown Princess, we recruit..."

"The second emperor's grandson fell in love with a fan, and in order to redeem the fan, he secretly drained the money from the kitchen of the War Bureau, which led to such a disaster!"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she immediately ran outside the door and yelled at several guards.

"Shut up!"

"Slandering the current emperor's grandson out of thin air, I'll kill you even if it's not an exaggeration!"

"But since this is your first offense, I will not hold you accountable. In a moment, each of you will go to the accountant to pay one hundred taels of silver, which will be considered as the cost of your soup and medicine!"

When several people heard this, they were naturally very grateful. As for the money for the soup and medicine, it was just another way of saying hush money.

"I am humble enough to thank the Crown Princess for the reward!"

After Lu finished dealing with several guards, she returned to the courtyard, raised her hand and gave Zhu Yunwen a slap in the face.

"The traitor!"

"Come in here, me!"

Mrs. Lu took Zhu Yunwen to the bedroom and raised her hand several times to slap him, but she endured it.

Because she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would bruise the face of the traitor, which would make outsiders laugh even more.

"Go over and lie down!"

Although Zhu Yunwen was scared to death, he did not dare to disobey his mother and concubine, so he could only lie down on the stool.

"Come here, find some feather dusters for me!"

The maid Dongmei looked at the feather duster in Lu's hand and reminded.

"Crown Princess, aren't you holding a feather duster in your hand?"

Lu Shi glared at Dongmei coldly and scolded.
