Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 23 Zhu Yunxi, you return my stewed chicken!

Zhu Yunxi said it again, seeing that San Dezi was still staying where he was, he couldn't help urging him again.

"Why are you still standing there, hurry up and help!"

Wang De hurried forward, stood on tiptoe and took down the copper stove from the bookshelf, and handed it to His Royal Highness.

"Your Highness, come down quickly, don't trample this book!"

"Oh?"

"Can this thing still be trampled?"

Seeing His Highness getting off the book, Wang De quickly squatted down to pick it up, and carefully wiped the footprints on it with his sleeve.

"Your Highness, don't you remember, this was the crown prince's favorite book, and it was specially given to you as a souvenir before he died."

"what?"

Zhu Yunxi cursed inwardly, "Damn it, why am I such a bastard, even ruining my father's belongings like this."

"Is this book very valuable?"

"valuable……"

Wang De can't be messed with directly by his highness. This thing is based on grief and feelings. Can it be measured by money?

Although Wang De slandered endlessly in his heart, seeing the earnestness on his highness's face, he patiently explained a few words.

"Worth money is definitely worth money. This kind of engraving block from the Song Dynasty cost hundreds of taels of silver when it first came out. It has been handed down for hundreds of years. At least it is worth a few thousand taels, right?"

"But this kind of precious book cannot be measured by money, not to mention that it was left to you by the prince, and there is a comment from the prince on it..."

"What!"

"A few thousand taels!"

Zhu Yunxi is no longer in the mood to listen to Wang De's feelings, and now his mind is full of selling this set of books.

As for keeping it for yourself?
Sorry, he never thought about it at all, he is a scumbag and he is not worthy.

"oops!"

"My father left me such a good thing, why don't you remind me!"

"If this is trampled on, I'll be so heartbroken!"

"Give it to me quickly, I'm going to sleep with my arms around it tonight!"

Zhu Yunxi greedily snatched the "Historical Records" set of books, then ran to the head of the bed and put it next to his pillow.

Seeing his highness so nervous, Wang De felt his nose sore and the circles of his eyes turned red.

His Highness looks heartless, but in his heart he still cares about the Crown Prince and his belongings...

Perhaps in the heart of His Royal Highness, this "Historical Records" is no longer an ordinary historical record, but the incarnation of the prince!

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has left you a lot of relics, as well as Crown Princess Jingyi's..."

"what?"

"and also!"

"Where it is, find it for me, and I'll see if it's worth it!"

Wang De was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't even cry.

Why is it money again?

Could it be that His Royal Highness does not value it because of the prince's relics, but because of its value?
Wang De wanted to understand the key, and hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. He suddenly realized a serious problem, that is, his Wang De's feelings were wrongly paid after all!

"Your Highness, those relics can't be lost, they are all kept in the box."

"By the way, what did you want this incense burner for?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he realized that he still had business to do.

"Oh!"

"I'm investigating something."

"By the way, you were taken away by Jin Yiwei today, did they torture you?"

When Wang De heard His Royal Highness's concern, he felt warm in his heart.

He found that His Highness had really grown up, and he even knew how to care about others.

If this was in the past, he would never have thought about it, let alone ask himself about it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Instead of being punished, the servant got a reward of two taels of silver, hehehe."

"Yo!"

Zhu Yunxi showed a surprised expression when he heard the words.

"Not bad, you kid can come out of Jinyiwei whole, enough for you to brag about for a lifetime!"

In Wang De's heart, he also had a small sense of luck for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"Who said it wasn't..."

"However, it's not that the servants are good fortune, but because Jin Yiwei is looking for the Duke of Liang, so he is lenient to the servants."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Wang De warily.

"What's your relationship with my uncle and grandpa?"

"Have you forgotten, Your Highness, the servant's family was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case, and it was Duke Liang who pleaded for mercy that saved him from death!"

"Oh……"

When Zhu Yunxi heard that Hu Weiyong was involved, he didn't bother to ask.

Hu Weiyong's case involves so many, wide-ranging, and long spans of time, not to mention thousands of years, even in the Hongwu Dynasty, where major cases frequently occurred.

Even more than ten years after Hu Weiyong's death, people were often implicated in Hu Weiyong's case.

It was Li Shanchang, the number one hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, who was eventually implicated in the Hu Weiyong case and was executed by all his families.

If we use a catchphrase in later generations to describe it, it is that although Hu Weiyong is dead, the legend of brother will always be circulated in the court!

It's just that for the people in the court, they can't wait to be as far away from this old man as possible, and it's best not to have any relationship at all.

Zhu Yunxi held the incense burner and studied it for a while, but found no clues, so he threw it aside.

Seeing this, Wang De immediately asked in puzzlement.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with this incense burner?"

"No problem, I just want to see it on a whim."

"This……"

A huge question mark appeared on Wang De's forehead.

He felt that His Royal Highness seemed a little strange today, why are you looking at this thing so well?

In fact, this incense burner was the last item Zhu Yunxi investigated.

Ever since he came back from Qianqing Palace, he has been searching for suspicious items in his bedroom.

Since Lu Shi didn't poison him through food, it might be the air, or something that he can come into contact with every day.

After searching inside and outside the palace, he found nothing, so he stared at the incense burner on the bookshelf.

It's just that after inspection, I found that this incense burner is also very ordinary, and it doesn't look like something tricky at all.

If Zhu Yunxi hadn't thought that the censer was made of copper, and thought it could sell for some money, he might have just thrown it away.

"San Dezi, put it back to its original place."

"promise!"

Just as Wang De put the censer back on the bookshelf, he heard His Highness behind him speak again.

"By the way, San Dezi, when will we have dinner in the palace?"

"I'm starving to death!"

"dinner?"

Wang De looked at his highness in surprise.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that we don't eat at night in the palace?"

"This is the rule set by His Majesty, why don't you eat after noon!"

"However, the servants heard from the seniors in the palace that they are afraid of fire, so they don't cook at night."

Zhu Yunxi immediately became angry when he heard this.

"What!"

"My majestic grandson of the Ming Dynasty is going to be hungry at night, is there any reason for that?"

Just as Zhu Yunxi said this, his nose suddenly twitched, and he sniffed out the window.

"what!"

"Why does it smell like stewed chicken?"

Wang De glanced out the window and said.

"Maybe it's the crown prince concubine, who is doing a little cooking for His Highness and His Highness the Third Highness."

When Zhu Yunxi heard the words, he immediately remembered the conversation he heard in Lao Zhu's bedroom.

The Lu family is very wise and protects themselves. In order not to be gossiped by others, they never send food to the residences of concubines and concubines.

Zhu Yunxi thought that the evil here is going to be daring, since you don't want to give it away, then let's take it by ourselves!

In short, if you want me to starve, there is no door!
The small courtyard on the west side of the main hall of the Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the big pot full of stewed chicken, drooling uncontrollably.

Originally, he could have eaten it at noon, but the hateful thing was that Zhu Yunxie led a few lowly maids to eat it all, so he could only eat half a bowl of rice with chicken soup.

Fortunately, the mother concubine was still thinking about herself, so she secretly used money and asked the people in the dining room to make a new pot for herself.

Just as Zhu Yunxi was rubbing his little hands, hesitating whether to eat the chicken legs or the chicken wings first, he suddenly heard someone calling him outside the door.

"Zhu Yunxi, look what fun I brought you!"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi saw Zhu Yunxi coming in, he immediately hugged the porcelain basin with both arms like an old hen protecting its cubs.

"Don't come here!"

"I've finished my chicken and there's nothing left!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Guangliu's table, and immediately he was determined.

"Hi!"

"Third brother, what do you think of second brother? Second brother is here to apologize to you."

"You see what this is?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced warily when he heard the words, and was immediately attracted by the things in Zhu Yunxi's hands.

"Wow, what a beautiful big bird!"

Zhu Yunxi shook the paper airplane in his hand, with a smile like a wolf grandmother on his face.

"This big bird can fly!"

"look!"

As Zhu Yunxi said, he breathed a "ha" at the paper airplane, and then threw it at Zhu Yunxi with a "biu".

Seeing that this thing could really fly, Zhu Yunxi immediately got up to catch it, but just as he was about to catch it, he saw the paper airplane turn a corner and fly back to Zhu Yunxi's side, and he raised his hand to grab it.

Zhu Yunxi took the paper plane and shook it towards Zhu Yunxi again.

"Want to play?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded subconsciously when he heard the words, but quickly realized that although his eyes were full of curiosity, his little head shook firmly.

"In no mood!"

"You go, I don't want to play now!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he deliberately showed disappointment on his face.

"Ugh!"

"Since the third brother doesn't like it, I'll throw it away."

While Zhu Yunxi was speaking, he paused and threw the paper airplane out of the window with a "biu".

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi chased after him without hesitation. When he finally found the paper airplane outside and came back to eat chicken happily, he was shocked to find that even the chicken and the bowl disappeared from the table!
"Where's my chicken stew?"

"Zhu Yunxie, it must be Zhu Yunxie!"

"Zhu Yunxi, return my stewed chicken!"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa..."
