East Palace.

apse.

Xiao Qi quickly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the princess has personally sent the second emperor's grandson back to the East Palace."

Xiao Qi saluted, glanced at Zhu Biao, and said hesitantly.

"Where's Hu Fei?"

Zhu Biao nodded and asked casually.

"I have already left the palace, but according to reports from my subordinates, Mr. Hu and the princess made some inappropriate remarks when they were playing with the second emperor's grandson at Taixing Lake."

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown.

"What did he say?"

Zhu Biao looked up at Xiao Qi and asked with a serious expression.

"In front of many of his entourage, he suddenly asked the second emperor's grandson if he wanted to be emperor."

Xiao Qi replied hesitantly.

"What?!"

After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but exclaimed and couldn't help but stand up.

"Is this serious?!"

Then, Zhu Biao stared at Xiao Qi and asked solemnly.

"Indeed, more than one person heard it at the time."

Xiao Qi nodded and said.

When he heard the news, he asked several guards specifically and got the same answer.

"Nonsense! Does he think the palace is his back garden?! How dare he be so bold!"

Zhu Biao frowned and scolded with some worry.

If the father dares to make such remarks in the palace while he is still on the throne, if the father knows about it, it will be a crime of treason!

"What else did he say?"

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Qi solemnly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

"He also taught the second emperor's grandson the way to be a king."

Xiao Qi replied hurriedly.

"The way to be a king?!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was shocked again, but there was a trace of doubt on his face.

Therefore, Xiao Qi relayed to Zhu Biao the so-called way of being a king that Hu Fei gave to Zhu Yunwen at that time based on the reports he heard.

"When the people are at peace, their hearts are united, and when their hearts are united, the Ming Dynasty is at peace. When the Ming Dynasty is at peace, the world is at peace."

But after listening to Xiao Qi's narration, Zhu Biao showed a look of surprise. He couldn't help but recite these words silently, his face was full of approval, and the original dissatisfaction and anger disappeared in an instant.

"A good people's peace means the world's peace. I didn't expect him to have such an insight. He really hit the point."

Zhu Biao paced back and forth, thinking about Hu Fei's words, and murmured to himself, his words full of praise.

"Your Majesty, how should we cover up this matter? It would be unthinkable if His Majesty knew about it."

Xiao Qi didn't understand the profound meaning of Hu Fei's remarks, and asked with some worry.

He only knew that if this matter were to spread, not only would Hu Fei be dissatisfied with His Majesty, but the Crown Prince would also be implicated.

"No need. Even if my father knew about it, he would definitely not blame Hu Fei. What's more, what he said is not wrong. Born in an emperor's family, from the moment he was born, he was destined to be inseparable from the throne."

"And if my father knew about his remarks, I am afraid that not only would he not punish him, he would also be very satisfied."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said with a smile.

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Xiao Qi showed a trace of confusion on his face, then nodded and stopped talking.

Zhu Biao, on the other hand, was pacing and silently reciting Hu Fei's words, nodding in approval from time to time.

...

In the capital city.

on the street.

Hu Fei slowly returned to Hong Bin Tower in a carriage. The smell of alcohol on his body had dissipated, and he looked completely different from when he came.

Seeing the change in Hu Fei's demeanor, Chundie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the young master was fine.

"Pei Jie, write a letter to Liu Jing when you get back."

At this moment, Hu Fei glanced at the carriage door and said lightly.

Pei Jie, who was sitting outside the carriage, didn't ask anything and just agreed.

After hearing Pei Jie's reply, Hu Fei closed his eyes again and began to rest with his eyes closed, but his state was completely different from when he came.

The remarks made at Taixing Lake today seemed to be made for Zhu Yunwen, but he actually conveyed those words to Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang through Zhu Yunwen.

If his prediction was correct, those remarks would have reached the East Palace and Yangxin Palace at this moment.

Now that he has firmed up his ideas, it is time to speed up the progress. He must make Zhu Yuanzhang trust him more. Otherwise, the hurdle after the year may not be so easy to pass.

Those remarks about the way to be a king are just throwing stones at others.

In fact, he summed up those words from Liu Jing's last words. He just borrowed flowers to thank Buddha, so he should write a letter to Liu Jing who returned home. After all, he had stolen the words of his father Liu Bowen.

.

Moreover, he had promised Liu Jing that he would tell Zhu Yuanzhang these words one day. Although he did not relay them personally this time, he only needed to let Zhu Yuanzhang know them.

Although only Zhu Biao's people were present at the time, he was certain that Zhu Yuanzhang would soon know, because within that palace wall, nothing could be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang, unless he didn't want to know.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, Colonel Mao is outside asking for an audience."

Pang Yuhai quickly walked into the hall, bowed respectfully and said.

"Why is he here?"

"Xuan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.

Soon, the inspector Mao Xiang walked into the hall quickly.

"Weak minister Mao Xiang, please see your Majesty!"

Mao Xiang walked closer and bowed respectfully.

"Get flat."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, raised his head and looked at Mao Xiang, and asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty, Hu Fei went to the East Palace today and met Princess Anqing in the East Palace. After that, he and Princess Anqing toured the palace for a long time."

Mao Xiang cupped his hands and said slowly.

After listening to Mao Xiang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned, but he didn't say anything.

"Reported by the school inspection, Hu Fei said some treasonous words in front of the entourage!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of asking further questions, Mao Xiang spoke again.

Upon hearing Mao Xiang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately darkened and his brows furrowed.

"What did he say?!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Mao Xiang and asked in a deep voice, with a trace of majesty between his brows.

"He actually asked the second emperor's grandson if he wanted to be emperor in front of his entourage, and shamelessly taught the second emperor's grandson some ways to be an emperor. He simply ignored His Majesty's majesty and was lawless!"

Mao Xiang cupped his hands and said loudly.

"That's unreasonable! Has he lost his mind and taken the courage of a leopard!?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he patted the desk hard and stood up in response, his face full of anger.

"They all say that Prime Minister Hu has the intention of treason, and it seems that it is not groundless!"

Mao Xiang saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face full of anger and hurriedly added.
