I want to be a grandson

Chapter 5 Old Zhu
Lying comfortably in the bathtub, with the warm steam moistening his face, Zhu Yunxie's nervousness and exhaustion were relieved.

It's just to fight for favor, why bother...

Do you really think that the throne is obtained by a momentary favor?
With Zhu Yuanzhang's shrewdness, so what if you try to curry favor with him?He will not decide the heir of the country just because of his likes and dislikes.

Although there are many shortcomings in Zhu Yuanzhang, such as cruelty and cold blood, there is one thing that has to be admitted, he is an emperor who truly loves the people.

Perhaps because of his birth, his cruelty and cold-blooded targets are all corrupt officials, but not the common people?
Whether or not to fight for the throne is another story, and Zhu Yunxi was not sure that he could win against Zhu Yunqi.

Because there are too many uncertain factors, it is beyond his control to pass on the throne to whom or not.

Now I just want to avenge my father Zhu Biao!
But I will never allow myself to be accused of being unfilial, otherwise it will be over. After all, in this era, filial piety is righteousness.

There is no room for loss in righteousness!

Zhu Yunxi let out a turbid breath, and felt much more relaxed. He didn't want to kill people, but he couldn't help it, he was still a fish.

The killing atmosphere on Zhu Yunxi's side gradually dissipated, but in the prince's bedroom, everyone was trembling with fear.

"Biao'er! Biao'er, what's the matter with you? What's the matter?! Get up..."

Accompanied by unbelievable roars and helpless wailing, this emperor through the ages vented his emotions.

There were kneeling figures everywhere in Chunhe Palace, no one dared to ignore them, lest the emperor's wrath would be poured on him.

"Biao'er, get up, open your eyes and look at us, I'm not dead yet, what's the matter with you lying down..., Biao'er, as long as you get up, we won't beat or scold you anymore..."

Tears flowed down the obviously slack face, the red eyes showed helplessness, and the gray hair told the sadness of this 60-year-old man.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty!

"Father, please take care of your health, don't be too sad..." the Crown Princess Lu comforted.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't appreciate it, he turned around and scolded: "Tell me! Why did Biao'er suddenly become seriously ill?! How did you take care of him! How come he suddenly fell into a coma..."

The Lu family was so frightened that she quickly fell to the ground and said in panic: "My daughter-in-law is guilty, please punish me..."

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him with a sad expression, just looked at Zhu Biao's pale face and couldn't help shaking his head, as if unwilling to accept this fact.

The imperial physician was also called to inquire about Zhu Biao's condition and the method of treatment. From the imperial physician's faltering words, Zhu Yuanzhang understood that his son's time was numbered.

After venting a lot, he walked out of the hall blankly, his eyes blank, his whole body was full of depression.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi approaching, he couldn't help clenching his teeth, and looked at the emperor's grandson who was getting closer with an unkind expression.

Zhu Yunxi didn't feel any panic, let alone being at a loss, but walked slowly with a sad face, neither slow nor fast.

"Grandson pays homage to Grandpa Huang, and may Grandpa Huang be safe." Zhu Yunxi bowed down and saluted calmly, without being affected by Lao Zhu's expression in the slightest.

"Let me ask you, do you know that your father is seriously ill?!" Old Zhu asked.

"Report to Grandpa Huang, grandson knows."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared suddenly, "Then why did you come here now? Do you know that your father is unconscious, so why don't you show your filial piety in front of the bed?!"

Turning to the Crown Princess Lu, "Is that how you taught him? Don't you even know how to take care of him!"

Mrs. Lu hurriedly knelt down on the ground, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Father Huang learned that Xing'er is not unfilial. I have come to see the crown prince yesterday, and please calm down my father. Don't blame Xing'er..."

Murder and kill!
Just read it?Don't you know how to be filial before bed?

What do you mean you saw it yesterday?
If you read it yesterday, you don’t need to read it today?
It looks like a mother's love and protection, but it's actually a stab in the heart!
Zhu Yunxi deliberately raised his head to look at Mrs. Lu, his originally hopeful eyes gradually dimmed, and then slowly lowered his head under Zhu Yuanzhang's angry eyes, keeping silent and making no excuses.

I just tried to squeeze out two tears, which fell on the slate.

Test your acting skills!
Consciously or not, Zhu Yunxi bent the bandaged right index finger on the ground and hid it in the palm of his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his right hand, snorted angrily, and walked away. He never paid attention to the emperor's grandson who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't even ask him to get up.

"Xiao'er, get up, your grandpa is gone..." Seeing that Lao Zhu was nowhere to be seen, Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand to help Zhu Yunxi up.

"Thank you, concubine mother...I'm going to visit my father." After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he turned and entered the bedroom, not acknowledging his gratitude.

If you play a loving mother, I will play filial piety!

"Humph."

Mrs. Lu snorted, apparently not paying attention to Zhu Yunxi, and said to her own son next to her: "See, your grandpa doesn't like unfilial people,
Your father is seriously ill, you must do your best not to leave one step...don't make your grandpa angry like Yunxi..."

Zhu Yunwen bowed and replied: "Yes, my child obeys!"

In Zhu Biao's bedroom, Zhu Yunxi looked at his father's pale face, and couldn't help but sigh, there was nothing he could do.

If it is a common cold, those imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are not vegetarians, and they can deal with it.

But because Zhu Biao has been panicked for many years, his heart and mind are haggard, so that the oil is exhausted, and the lamp is exhausted. I am afraid that the internal organs will also fail.

This is not something that can be cured by medicine stones, and I don't understand those things, so I have no way to recover...

"Brother, don't be too sad, father will also be sad when he sees you like this..." said Zhu Yiwei, his sister beside him, Princess Jiangdu.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and said: "Sister, you should also pay attention to your health, father has God's blessing, nothing will happen..."

Zhu Yiwei is his own biological sister, the daughter of the late Crown Princess Chang.

Now I can only live with my sister.

Zhu Yiwei looked at his younger brother's side face, and couldn't help but secretly sighed. His younger brother has been treated unfairly since he was a child, and his mother and brother died early. He is a poor man.

Now if my father..., I don't know what kind of blow he will suffer...

Although he is not liked by his father, having a father is completely different from not having a father.

"Who! Who killed Zhang Ping! Are all the guards of the East Palace dead? Who did it!"

Crown Princess Lu looked at her blood-stained, dead confidant eunuch Zhang Ping, and couldn't hold back her anger any longer.

The Lu family sent Zhang Ping to stop Zhu Yunxi from seeing Lao Zhu, so as to leave an unfilial impression in Lao Zhu's eyes.

But I didn't expect Zhang Ping to be so ineffective that he was allowed to go. Even though he went late, the difference between going and not going was too big!
Mrs. Lu was still scolding Zhang Ping in her heart for not even being able to deal with a cowardly, weak and incompetent emperor and grandson!

Because he was afraid that it would be bad for his reputation if the news spread, he sent Zhang Ping alone, but it took a long time before the maid reported that Zhang Ping was dead.

Naturally, Mrs. Lu couldn't believe it, but who in the palace would dare to commit suicide without authorization?
Besides, following his own order, who in the East Palace would dare to disobey the Crown Princess' order? !
