Chapter 2 Tell us, how many years will our sister live?
Han Cheng was tied up with five flowers, and he was guarded by more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs.
These people looked at him with expressions of hatred and bitterness, wishing to tear him to pieces in the next moment!
If it hadn't been for Princess Ning Guo, she was not allowed to torture herself and left it to Zhu Yuanzhang for interrogation.
And these people were worried that if they were beaten to death, they would not be able to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang. Han Cheng believed that he was already dead.
"Girl! Your Highness Princess! I really didn't mean to offend!
I don’t know how I ended up here in such a daze!”
Han Cheng shouted loudly and actively tried to save himself.
He felt that the only turning point now was with Princess Ning Guo.
If the matter can be resolved before Zhu Yuanzhang arrives, there will still be room for maneuver.
If it can't be solved, Lao Zhu's murderous iron-blooded methods will probably turn him into a stick.
But Han Cheng's self-rescue immediately failed.
Because his mouth was blocked by a eunuch with a rag.
It also blocked Han Cheng's way to save himself...
Is this such a hasty time travel?
Is this a one-day trip in the early Ming Dynasty?
Han Cheng thought bitterly...
"The Emperor has arrived!"
As a high-pitched voice sounded, dozens of Jinyiwei members wearing flying fish uniforms and carrying embroidered spring knives on their waists guarded all the entrances and exits of Shouning Palace, as well as other hidden places.
The livid-faced Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by seven or eight tall guards, walked in angrily.
Full of aura.
As soon as you enter, you feel that the temperature of the entire Shouning Palace has dropped sharply, making you shiver!
"I have met my father."
Princess Ningguo was sitting on a chair and was carried by two palace maids, came to Zhu Yuanzhang, and greeted Zhu Yuanzhang.
Princess Ningguo has a delicate face, white skin, and slender figure. She is a complete beauty.
Even if she didn't stand up from the chair, no one would know that her legs were unable to walk.
The only fly in the ointment was that her beautiful eyes were red and there were tears on her face, it was obvious that she had just cried.
Seeing his daughter like this, Zhu Yuanzhang was both distressed and angry.
"Yourong, please go back to the house. I already know the matter and we will definitely handle it well!"
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and shook Zhu Yourong's hand and said.
After that, he motioned to the two palace maids to carry Zhu Yourong back to the house.
"Dad, this matter has nothing to do with the palace people. Dad, please don't punish them!"
Zhu Yourong was carried away, pleading for mercy for the palace people in an anxious voice.
"Well, we know."
Zhu Yuanzhang responded.
After Zhu Yourong left, Zhu Yuanzhang's smile disappeared immediately.
My daughter is kind, but I cannot be kind!
Such things have happened, and these palace servants still keep them for a purpose!
"Take us to see that bitch!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that his daughter was not substantially harmed, the daring man just appeared on his daughter's bed and slept for a while.
But after this happened, Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't bear it!
…
Zhu Yuanzhang came to the place where Han Cheng was imprisoned.
Looking at Han Cheng who was tied up, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, he just stood here and looked at him quietly.
For a person like Zhu Yuanzhang who was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood and sat on the throne, one can imagine how strong the sense of oppression this would create.
The few members of the Jin Yiwei who followed him were frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's aura and were covered in white hair and sweat.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this silent deterrent was enough, and then he said: "Where did it come from? How did it come from?"
The voice was calm, but with a chilling chill.
As Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth to ask questions, someone immediately came forward and pulled out the rag stuffed in Han Cheng's mouth.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Han Cheng, waiting for Han Cheng to tell him the truth next.
Now that everything has reached this point, it has fallen into his hands, and after going through the previous preparations, he feels that the person in front of him will definitely not have anything to hide anymore.
Whatever he asks, this person will say what he says, and he will never dare to talk nonsense.
He is still very confident about this.
"I am a time traveler, from hundreds of years in the future."
Han Cheng gasped for air.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, he directly revealed his identity as a time traveler.
It won't happen if you don't say it.
He was wearing it, not his soul, and he also traveled directly to Princess Ningguo's bed.
As soon as he understood what was going on, he was arrested and immediately met the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
He was not given any time at all and used some means to conceal his identity.
Therefore, when faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Han Cheng simply chose to lie down and decided to tell the truth.
In this way, maybe we can survive in death and find a way out.
Time traveler?
What is this?
From hundreds of years later??
Zhu Yuanzhang, who assumed what he thought was the most terrifying posture and waited for Han Cheng to confess, was stunned when he heard Han Cheng's words.
Then, his face became colder.
"At this point, you have fallen into our hands, and you still dare to make nonsense in front of us. You have some courage.
But, your courage is in the wrong place!
I’ll give you one last chance to tell the truth, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless when I peel your skin off!”
Han Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears.
What I said is the truth!
As soon as he opened his mouth, he exposed his biggest secret, and Lao Zhu actually suspected that he was telling lies!
These days, no one believes the truth?
However, if you think about it carefully, the truth you said is indeed quite nonsense.
Han Cheng was silent for a moment and collected his thoughts.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his words had worked and that the thief in front of him was considering telling him the truth, Han Cheng's voice rang out.
"Emperor Hongwu, I know what I say sounds nonsense, but I still have to tell you that I am a time traveler from hundreds of years in the future.
As for why I came here, I am quite confused myself.
I just fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes, I appeared here..."
Han Cheng slowed down his tone and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang sincerely, trying to convince Emperor Hongwu that what he said was true.
But this obviously didn't have any effect.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became colder.
Is this thief deceiving himself as a fool?!
He, Lao Zhu, has lived for most of his life. He started with a bowl and worked hard to become the emperor. He has experienced so many ups and downs and met so many strange people!
I have met several charlatans who claim to have known for five hundred years before and five hundred years afterward, and now there is another one!
Although the rhetoric coming from hundreds of years later may sound fresh, it is no different from those charlatans.
"Pull him out, peel off the daylily, and hang him with those liars!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to waste words and waved his hand to issue the order.
Several Jin Yiwei members immediately stepped forward, lifted Han Chengcheng up and walked outside.
Korean adults are numb.
Is Zhu Yuanzhang so straightforward?
"I am truly a time traveler, someone who came from hundreds of years ago. If you don't believe me, you can ask me some questions to verify..."
Han Cheng shouted and actively rescued himself.
It was also at this time that a person came in a hurry.
"Your superiors, we have made preliminary investigations and found out that there were no flaws in the city defense last night, as well as the defense of various palaces, and the defense of Ningshou Palace.
I didn’t find any traces of climbing…”
The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang, knelt on one knee and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"No trace found?
Could it be that he flew in!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was cold.
Inside the Forbidden City, which is said to be the most tightly guarded, people were able to sneak in without anyone noticing.
This time it was Princess Ning Guo’s bed, so next time it would be Lao Zhu’s bed?!
Mao Xiang broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your superiors, I will ask someone to investigate again!
It's just... that man's clothes and hair style are all different from ordinary people.
It's different from anyone I've ever seen anywhere.
And, look at this."
As he spoke, Mao Xiang turned his hand over, and a small thing appeared in his palm.
But it's a plastic zipper puller.
It was when Mao Xiang and Han Chengzuo met just now, he reached out and took it off Han Cheng's clothes.
"This was taken from the man's clothes. This object is not gold, wood, or porcelain.
But it is well constructed.
This subordinate is too stupid to recognize what kind of material this is."
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to take it, put it in his hand and studied it carefully.
The current Emperor Hongwu is no longer the beggar he used to be.
Having been emperor for more than ten years, what has he not seen?
He had even seen many rare goods shipped from barbarian countries and other places, but he couldn't tell the reality of the gadget in his hand.
I can't even tell what material it is made of.
"Bring us the thief!"
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded.
Mao Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went out to convey Zhu Yuanzhang's order.
He was really worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill people like this.
Because, they, the Jinyi Guards, are also responsible for the security of the palace in secret.
Once the thief is killed like this, it is tantamount to confirming that the person responsible for guarding has neglected his duty.
According to Emperor Zhu’s character, how could he not kill a person’s head in such a major matter that concerns his life?
Many people in their Jinyiwei also have something to do with it!
…
"Who do you think you are, from hundreds of years in the future?"
When Han Cheng came to Zhu Yuanzhang again, he nodded vigorously when faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry.
"Since you come from hundreds of years in the future, tell us, how many years will our sister live?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded, and his eyes were fixed on Han Cheng.
As a provocative author who has written novels about the Ming Dynasty, Han Cheng still knows a lot about the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang gradually believes that he is a time traveler!
Otherwise, I wouldn’t ask myself this question.
As long as you can answer it well, you should be able to survive!
But then, after quickly thinking about Queen Ma's ending and confirming that it was now the tenth day of August in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the joy in Han Cheng's heart disappeared in an instant.
Because Queen Ma, whom Zhu Yuanzhang regarded as a relative and his heartthrob, passed away on August 23rd of this year!
Just relying on Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament and his feelings for Queen Ma, if he tells this ending by himself, I'm afraid the end will be more tragic than peeling off the grass, right?
But if you don’t say it, you won’t end up well!
Why is this, every step is a dead end?!
"Say it! Why don't you say it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's sinister voice sounded, urging Han Cheng not to leave any ink marks.
These words undoubtedly sounded like a reminder to Han Cheng...
