Facing his furious father, Zhu Biao's reaction was calm, or maybe he was dumbfounded.

He just repeated, "I beg my father to pardon the imperial hospital."

Lao Zhu's eyes widened instantly, he pointed at Zhu Biao with trembling hands and shouted: "Get out, get out of here!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Queen Ma quickly comforted Lao Zhu, and kept winking at Zhu Biao, asking him to leave first.

Zhu Biao looked a little dull and bowed, "My son, I take my leave."

After Zhu Biao left, Lao Zhu was still gasping for breath, and finally calmed down with Queen Ma's soft words of comfort.

But no one expected that Zhu Biao came again the next day.

Lao Zhu looked at him with an unkind expression, and before he could speak, he asked sharply: "What are you doing here?"

"My son, I pay homage to my father, and I pay homage to my mother." Zhu Biao did not answer his father first, but greeted his father respectfully.

Seeing that he was so abiding by etiquette, Lao Zhu's anger calmed down a little, and he continued to ask: "What are you doing here?"

Zhu Biao still bowed and said: "I beg my father to pardon the imperial hospital."

With the exact same words and the exact same tone, Lao Zhu's anger that had just calmed down suddenly surged, even more than before.

"You bastard!" Old Zhu's teeth chattered in anger, he pointed at Zhu Biao and said with fire in his eyes: "Who do you think you are? You have been against me over and over again. Do you think you have already sat on the throne? Now you dare to force me,

You dare to force me into the palace, don’t you?”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Queen Ma quickly hugged the furious Lao Zhu and comforted her. She kept winking at Zhu Biao, telling him to leave quickly.

Zhu Biao glanced at his mother expressionlessly, lowered his head and replied softly: "My son, please leave."

Seeing that Zhu Biao wanted to say something else, Lao Zhu became furious and said: "Get out, get out of here!"

After Zhu Biao left, Lao Zhu's anger was still hard to calm down, and he said with a serious face: "Does he think that I only have a son like him, and the Ming Dynasty only has a prince like him, so he dares to be so unscrupulous?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, Biao'er definitely didn't mean this. Biao'er has always been kind, how could he have such an idea?" Empress Ma quickly comforted her.

Lao Zhu suddenly waved his hand, broke away from Queen Ma's hand, and cursed angrily: "Then what does he mean?"

Queen Ma's eyes were red, with sparkling tears, and she looked at Lao Zhu with aggrieved eyes.

Lao Zhu glanced sideways at Queen Ma and stopped cursing, but the fierce light in his eyes did not weaken at all.

"A few imperial doctors have turned my Forbidden City upside down, causing Biao'er, who has always been benevolent and filial, to alienate me. Just for this one thing, you deserve to die." Old Zhu Hu's eyes widened, and he shouted with raised eyebrows:

"Come here! Tell me my decree, and all the imperial doctors will be executed immediately. I'll see how he can plead for mercy."

Queen Ma was so frightened that she quickly held down Lao Zhu's arm and shouted in panic: "No!"

"Huh?" Lao Zhu turned to look at Queen Ma, his face was hideous and terrifying, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Sister, even you want to disobey me?

"Your Majesty, I am not disobeying you, but" Queen Ma quickly explained, grabbing Lao Zhu's arm which was shaking, "Your Majesty, have you noticed that there is something wrong with Biao'er's expression? When he came in just now, I

Looking at the way he spoke, I suddenly felt a little scared. Now that I think about it, Biao'er looked a bit wrong from the first time he begged the emperor. What do you think happened to Biao'er?"

Lao Zhu's anger quickly subsided. He carefully recalled Zhu Biao's expression after he came in just now, and felt that something was wrong with him. How should I put it, Zhu Biao's behavior just now was very dull and a little dull.

"When you say that, I feel something is wrong."

Seeing that the emperor also began to hesitate, Empress Ma suddenly asked with a bit of surprise: "Does the emperor also feel this way?"

Lao Zhu nodded slowly, and then said: "However, this is not the reason why Biao'er can contradict me again and again. I will definitely kill those imperial doctors."

Empress Ma quickly grabbed the emperor and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't kill the imperial doctor yet. Now that Biao'er is like this, let's see what's going on with him first, right?"

Lao Zhu scolded Zhu Biao very hard, but he still put him in the most important position in his heart. After all, this was the successor he personally selected and spent decades of hard work cultivating until today. How could he just give up?

Already?

Even if Lao Zhu gives up himself, he will not give up Zhu Biao.

Nodding, Lao Zhu sighed and said: "Okay, but Biao'er is like this, who should I look for to see him? The imperial doctor?"

The imperial doctor is a bastard. Now all the imperial doctors at Tai Hospital have been imprisoned by Jiang Wei, and only Tan Song is left. But Tan Song has been taking care of Zhu Biao in the East Palace until he recovers. If there is

Couldn't this ability have been seen a long time ago?

"Summon Han Du into the palace." Queen Ma thought for a long time and sighed helplessly.

Han Du was in the machine shop, discussing something with Sun Xian. He was found by the eunuch sent by Queen Ma, and before Han Du could react, he was dragged alive

Take him into the palace.

After listening to the descriptions of Lao Zhu and Empress Ma, Han Du faced their eyes with disbelief and said with a puzzled smile: "The emperor is not as scary as you said, is he? I just met the prince a few days ago.

Your Highness, is there no problem?"

Empress Ma wanted to explain to Han Du, but Lao Zhu became a little impatient and waved his hand directly, "Isn't that right? You can see for yourself. Come and send the prince to see you."

"It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an audience~"

Since Lao Zhu was going to call the prince, Han Du was also ready to take a closer look to see what was going on and whether it was what the two of them said.

As soon as Zhu Biao walked in, Han Du quickly bowed and saluted: "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Biao's reaction seemed to be half a beat too slow. He waited until Han Du had straightened up before he said with a slow smile: "Oh, so you are here too."

Then, Zhu Biao turned around and saluted his father, the emperor and his mother.

"My son, please pay homage to your father and the queen."

When he originally didn't think there was anything unusual about Zhu Biao, Lao Zhu didn't find anything strange. But now, the more he looked at Zhu Biao, the more he felt something was wrong.

He said casually, "Get up."

Then, Lao Zhu turned his attention to Han Du.

Han Du now no longer had the indifferent look he had before meeting Zhu Biao. Instead, his face was solemn and his eyes were staring at Zhu Biao without blinking.

"When Father summoned his ministers, did he agree to pardon Taiyin Hospital?" Zhu Biao still asked this question.

Lao Zhu glanced at Han Du several times, but unfortunately Han Du was so attracted by Zhu Biao's expression that he didn't see it at all.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu had no choice but to respond: "If I'm not prepared to forgive them, what are you going to do?"

"My son, I beg my father to pardon the imperial hospital. After all, it was only a few hospital envoys who murdered my son, and the others are innocent." Zhu Biao even knelt on the ground and begged.

Lao Zhu sneered a few times and shook his head: "Innocent? The Imperial Hospital was originally a place to treat illnesses and save people, but now it has become daring to assassinate the current prince. If they are not severely punished, will they dare to assassinate me tomorrow?"

Empress Ma also gave words of advice: "Yes, Biao'er. Something like this happened in the Imperial Hospital. If we don't kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, how can we completely curb their disobedience?"

Murdering the royal family, no matter where it is, as long as there is the slightest implication, is a capital crime. Although Lao Zhu took the entire Taiyuan Hospital into one pot, which is indeed a bit extreme, there is nothing wrong in essence.

For this kind of thing, I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!

However, Zhu Biao didn't think so, "Father"

Seeing that Zhu Biao still wanted to speak, Lao Zhu suppressed the anger in his chest, raised his hand and interrupted: "Okay, I still need to think about this matter carefully, you can go back first."

Seeing that his father finally let go, Zhu Biao suddenly became happy, nodded repeatedly and said: "My son, I will go back now, I will go back now, father, think it over carefully."

Seeing Zhu Biao's submissive look, Lao Zhu felt angry all over. He had nowhere to vent his anger and suddenly turned his head to look at Han Du, "Tell me, what is going on?"

After he finished speaking, Lao Zhu noticed that Han Du's expression was solemn and his face was as sinking as water, and he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

Han Du turned back to look at Lao Zhu, and after pondering for a while, he said: "I can't decide yet whether I can summon the Crown Princess. I want to ask her something."

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "Summon the Crown Princess for an audience."

Others asked to see the Crown Princess, but of course it was not that simple. Many people even did not dare to make such a request at all. Unless they wanted to be killed.

Fortunately, Handuti was fine. After all, they were brothers and sisters, so nothing could happen if they met each other.

Soon, Han Jingyun arrived.

"My sons and ministers pay homage to their father and the emperor, and to their mother and queen."

As soon as Han Jingyun arrived, smiles immediately appeared on the faces of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma. They were very satisfied with Han Jingyun, the princess.

"Get down quickly."

"Thank you, father and mother." After Han Jingyun got up, he smiled immediately when he saw Han Du, "Eldest brother is here too?"

Han Du forced a smile, nodded, and asked directly in a low voice: "It was my idea to call you here this time."

Han Jingyun's beautiful eyes glanced at the emperor and the empress, then fell on Han Du, waiting for his next words.

Han Du did not hesitate and asked directly: "I want to ask you, have you noticed anything unusual about the prince in the past few days?"

"Abnormal?" Han Jingyun asked strangely, his eyes full of doubts.

"Yes." Han Du nodded, then gestured with his hands and explained: "It's a very common abnormality, the kind that will be ignored if you don't pay attention. It's just a little different from the past, even if it's just a little bit.

Calculate.

"

After hearing this, Han Jingyun lowered his head and bit his lip gently. Then he raised his head and said, "These days, the prince is really different from before."

"Oh? Tell me more specifically." Han Du immediately stared at his sister closely, as if he wanted to get some answer from his mouth.

Seeing Han Du's behavior, Lao Zhu and Queen Ma also looked at Han Jingyun.

Han Jingyun thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness is indeed a little different recently."
