Chapter 102: Are we henpecked? We are afraid of tiring the girl!
The king of Qin, Zhu Xi, came here after a long journey.
Although his fiefdom was far away from Nanjing, he was among the first vassal kings to come back.
At this time, Zhu Xi looked ugly and was covered in dust.
On the way back, he killed five horses!
In front of the city gate, someone came forward to stop Zhu Ping and his party. After verifying Zhu Ping's identity, they kowtowed to him.
Zhu Fang was impatient. He accepted the gift in a hurry and cursed loudly: "Hurry up...get out, don't...don't delay me...I want to see my mother!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, tears rolled down his face, washing away the dust on his face and leaving two traces of tears.
He entered Nanjing City on horseback and ran towards the Forbidden City.
As for the guards behind him, they did not follow him.
They need to go through certain procedures before they can enter the capital.
…
"My mother! My mother!"
After Zhu Xi arrived at the Forbidden City, he did not even go to see Lao Zhu. He jumped off his horse, spread his legs, and headed towards the direction of Kunning Palace.
He ran and howled, with tears and snot rolling down his face.
It's strange to say that he usually stutters a bit when he speaks.
But at this time, when he cried, he didn't stutter at all.
The originally quiet palace suddenly became a commotion...
…
"Chongba, what news did you get from Han Cheng today?"
In Kunning Palace, Queen Ma put down the shoe soles she was holding and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Sister, no, really no.
We have been busy arranging the extermination of the three Jurchen clans, and we have just had some time to relax.
Why do you have time to meet that boy?"
"Really not?"
Queen Ma stared at Zhu Yuanzhang suspiciously.
"Really not! We can't lie to anyone, sister, you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang assured Empress Ma seriously.
Queen Ma's eyes looked up and down on Zhu Yuanzhang's face for a while, and then she looked away from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
fine!
fine!
This time I pretended to be very similar, so that the girl could not tell the truth.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, at Queen Ma's place, almost experienced Han Cheng's mood when he faced him today.
Just as he was thinking this, he was about to say something to make Queen Ma happy, but he realized that something was wrong with Queen Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang was panicked and hurriedly looked, only to find that Queen Ma, who had turned her head away, had already shed two lines of tears.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was instantly panicked and at a loss.
"Sister, sister! What's wrong with you? You're fine, why are you crying?"
With that said, he hurriedly sat down next to Queen Ma and hugged Queen Ma's body.
But Empress Ma exerted herself not to lean into Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, and she shed more tears, from silent crying to sobbing.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang even more panicked, and at the same time he felt dizzy.
"Sister! Just say whatever you want. Let's not cry, okay?"
Even after living together for decades, Zhu Yuanzhang was still blinded by the crying Queen Ma.
"You...what did you say before?
You said that once you get the news about Biao'er and the others from Han Cheng, you will tell me as soon as possible...
How did you do it?
You...you did it?
Zhu Chongba, you are getting old, you are starting to... say... you don't mean what you say anymore!"
After crying for a while, Queen Ma finally spoke with sobs.
Upon hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh.
I thought I had concealed everything perfectly, and there was no mistake this time. Why did the girl still notice it?
And he was so sure that he was asking about Biao'er?
"Okay, okay, we were wrong. We didn't keep our word. We shouldn't have tried to hide it from you, sister.
We... we are doing this because we are not afraid that you, sister, will be worried after hearing this..."
Empress Ma stopped exerting her body and began to lean into Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.
"I know, but the more you don't tell me, the more worried I feel.
When you tell me, I no longer have random thoughts and feel at ease.
No matter how bad the outcome is, it doesn’t matter!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he sighed, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from Queen Ma's face, looked at Queen Ma and said:
"Sister, you must be mentally prepared! Don't get excited or be surprised by what I say!"
Queen Ma nodded vigorously, indicating that she was mentally prepared.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang mobilize his unwilling memory and began to tell Empress Ma about Zhu Biao.
"I went to see Han Cheng today and asked about Biao'er. I want to hear what great achievements Biao'er has done since he ascended the throne, so that we can be happy...
But... I never thought that... that boy actually said that our Biao'er did not become the emperor, but walked... ahead of me..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said this in a dry voice.
Queen Ma's complexion instantly turned pale, and she couldn't help but squeeze Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.
Surprisingly...it turned out to be Biao'er, and Biao'er walked in front!
The white-haired person gave away the black-haired person!!
She had thought before that Biao'er might have passed away a few years after ascending to the throne. Who would have thought that she would actually be ahead of Chongba!!
"We...our Biao'er has...how many years to live? Is he suffering from a terminal illness?"
At the critical moment, Queen Ma was far stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang thought.
She was just stunned for a moment, and immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang the most critical question.
"Han Cheng said that it was April of the 25th year of Hongwu. If we calculate the time, it is less than ten years from now..."
call……
When Queen Ma heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
There are still almost ten years to go. It can’t happen immediately! It can’t happen immediately!
"Han Cheng said that what Biaoer suffered was not a terminal illness, but some common ailments that killed him."
Killed by a minor illness?
When Queen Ma heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
How is this possible?
If ordinary people get a minor illness and don't have money for treatment, they can only fight hard. If there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, it will cost their lives.
Biao'er is the prince!
Can he be treated by doctors with the best medical skills in the Ming Dynasty? Ordinary illnesses can kill him?
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's just a minor illness. Han Cheng said that the minor illness is just an inducement. The reason why it can't be cured is because before that, Biao'er's body was actually in bad shape, so he was affected by some minor illnesses."
It’s going to cost your life…”
As he spoke, he told Empress Ma what he had heard from Han Cheng, what Han Cheng said, and the reasons for Zhu Biao's illness.
Of course, Han Cheng said that he had directly drawn the Emperor's Sword and thrown the dart later, but he did not tell Empress Ma.
Otherwise, he thinks her sister will definitely beat him hard with a feather duster.
Of course, the fact that he concealed it did not mean that he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was henpecked or afraid of being beaten.
Just kidding! Is he the majestic Hongwu Emperor, the kind of henpecked person?
