At night, Zhu Bai was about to sleep when he suddenly heard the two eunuchs who were sent to guard him talking quietly.
"This little ancestor has finally stopped."
"No, His Royal Highness can finally do something serious tonight."
"Did you ask Mrs. Lu to attend your bed tonight?"
"I'm sure. His Royal Highness has been waiting for half a month."
Zhu Bai suddenly lost all sleep and sat up: No. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard.
Come on!
No matter what method is used tonight, Zhu Biao's good deeds will be ruined.
The two guards took turns going to the toilet. Zhu Bai saw the opportunity and slipped out, and then ran to the East Palace in one breath.
Seeing that the gate of the East Palace was closed, Zhu Bai originally wanted to climb a tree, but there were always people coming and going under the tree today. He recalled that he seemed to have seen a dog hole in the corner covered by weeds that day.
In the past few days, the palace has been cleaning up channels, ditches, and weeds that were silted by heavy rains. I must have cleaned up the dog hole by the way.
I wandered over and took a look, and was overjoyed.
Sure enough, the dog hole was neither big nor small, just big enough for a child to crawl through.
God is really helping me, God is helping me!
Zhu Bai got in through the dog hole.
From the wall to the courtyard of Zhu Biao's bedroom, it was pitch dark and no one was seen.
Although it may be that he has been trapped in the palace these days and the East Palace has relaxed its vigilance, it is also possible that the palace people voluntarily avoided it, which facilitated Zhu Biao's "good deeds".
But this strangely quiet feeling made Zhu Bai very uncomfortable.
He took a step back and decided to forget it for today.
Lu Lian'er's sweet voice came from the other side of Zhu Biao's bedroom: "Your Highness, King Xiang will not come to cause trouble today."
Zhu Biao whispered: "Don't worry, I sent two guards to guard him today. He can't get out even though he has three heads and six arms."
When Zhu Bai heard this, he became furious: This couple of bitches really can't wait. If I don't mess with you today, I will waste my time as two people.
He climbed into the room through the window.
It was dark in Zhu Biao's room, and two people could be vaguely seen lying on the bed.
Before he could say anything, someone suddenly said quietly: "You are here? You are indeed here."
Zhu Bai's hair stood up, realizing that he had been trapped, and turned to leave.
The window was closed from the outside.
The lamp on the table was also lit, and Zhu Biao realized that there were only two quilts on the bed, and Zhu Biao was sitting at the table.
Zhu Bai suddenly stopped panicking.
During the day, Zhu Biao's state was obviously not right, and at night, he set up a trap to lure him here with such great fanfare.
There must be something that requires his help.
If he doesn't agree, force him.
Anyway, I want him to agree.
He lay down on the ground and said, "Send me to Father, I am willing to be punished."
Before, I just thought it was too cheating to wear it on this seven-year-old child, but now I feel that it still has many benefits.
For example, now, no matter how unreasonable or willful you are, no one will find it strange.
Zhu Biao stood up and walked over, bowing to Zhu Bai: "Twelve brothers, save me. The ground is cold, get up and talk."
Zhu Bai closed his eyes and turned his face away: "I'm still a child, I don't know anything."
Zhu Biao could only say to the side: "Come out."
Then Lu Lian'er walked out from behind the bed and knelt down in front of Zhu Bai with a bang: "I beg the King of Xiang to save this concubine."
Zhu Bai didn't make a sound or move.
Lu Lian'er kowtowed and cried: "Only Your Highness can save me. Please show mercy to King Xiang. I will agree to whatever you want me to do."
Haha, what I want is your words.
Zhu Bai opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Biao: "Does this count?"
Zhu Biao nodded: "It counts. As long as the twelfth brother is willing to help us this time."
Zhu Bai turned over and sat up.
Zhu Biao hurriedly pulled him to sit down at the table and poured him a cup of warm tea.
Zhu Bai happened to be thirsty from all the trouble, so he drank the tea in one gulp and raised his chin towards Lu Lian'er: "Tell me first what it is about."
Lu Lian'er's pear blossoms were wet with tears, she sobbed and spoke intermittently.
It turned out that Zhu Biao had been troubled by Zhu Bai for several days, and in order to appease Lu Lian'er, Zhu Biao gave her a gold hairpin.
This is not a big deal.
It's just that Lu Lian'er's mother suddenly got seriously ill and needed to be diagnosed by a famous doctor in the city, but the consultation fee was as much as 20 taels per time.
Lu Ben couldn't afford that much money.
Lu Lian'er was anxious. She had just entered the palace and had no spare money, so she ignored it and sent the gold hairpin out of the palace in exchange for money to treat her mother's illness.
I told Zhu Biao afterwards.
Afraid of being seen as palace-made jewelry, the Lu family had already melted the gold hairpin into gold nuggets and asked a doctor to give it medicine.
Zhu Biao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He thought that when the monthly payment came down, he would just do the same thing.
Unexpectedly, Empress Ma would propose to take back the jewelry for Zhu Di's wedding today.
According to the rules of the palace, if you take palace-made jewelry out of the palace without permission, you must wear twenty sticks.
Now it's too late to find someone to do it.
Besides, there are only a few craftsmen in the palace's silver making bureau. If it is leaked out, Lu Lian'er will definitely die.
As the prince, Zhu Biao cannot bend the law for personal gain.
Lu Lian'er cried so much that she almost fainted. Zhu Biao felt distressed and could only bow to Zhu Bai again: "I really can't think of a good way. I can only come and ask for help from my twelfth brother."
In fact, it was a bit risky for him to do so.
Because Zhu Bai obviously doesn't like Lu Lian'er, he can take this opportunity to kill Lu Lian'er directly, saving worry and effort, once and for all.
So he made a desperate bet that Zhu Bai was kind-hearted and still cared about brotherhood.
Zhu Bai lowered his eyes and said nothing: This is a good opportunity, as long as I don't care, Lu Lian'er will definitely die.
But Zhu Biao will also hate me from now on.
All in all, he killed eight hundred enemies and suffered one thousand losses.
Besides, even though I don't like Lu Lian'er, I still won't insist on killing her. To be honest, Lu Lian'er actually didn't do anything wrong and is quite innocent.
Lu Ben can be regarded as an upright official, otherwise Lu Lian'er would not need to sell jewelry to treat her mother's illness.
He sighed softly: "I am the only one who can resolve this matter."
Even if the prince who is older than him is willing to help Zhu Biao, he cannot do so because he will be suspected by Lao Zhu.
Although the prince who is younger than him will not be suspected, he does not have the courage and ability.
Zhu Bai fixedly looked at Zhu Biao: "Brother can risk his life to help, but brother must also promise that I will not be lucky to Lu Lian'er."
Zhu Biao gritted his teeth: This matter is really a dilemma. If you agree to Zhu Bai, do you want Lu Lian'er to remain a widow for the rest of your life? Isn't this more painful than death?
If she doesn't agree, Lu Lian'er will die tomorrow.
Lu Lian'er also bit her lip: If Zhu Biao really left her alone, it would be almost like being thrown into the cold palace. From now on, when she gets old and loses her luster and has nothing to do, she will really have only the cold palace waiting for her.
Zhu Biao said: "Why don't you know why your twelfth brother is so obsessed with this matter? Brother, I really can't imagine how my liking Lian'er will hinder you."
The story about keeping the blood of his descendants pure was obviously made up by Zhu Bai to coax Zhu Yuanzhang.
