My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 80 Confrontation
It was already late at night, but the Wenhua Hall was still brightly lit.

Zhu Gaoxu's poisoning was sealed by Zhu Di, and now only people in Wenhua Palace and Jinyiwei know about it. As for the imperial dining room, although some people know that someone died, they don't know what happened.

"Father, is it true that the eldest brother or the young master wants to kill me?"

Zhu Gaoxu's voice was hoarse, and he asked in disbelief.

The swelling on his face has disappeared, and the copper tube in his throat has been pulled out, and Zhu Zhanhe bandaged the wound himself.

For this kind of incision, as long as the muscles in the patient's neck are strong enough, there is no need to suture at all. Although Zhu Gaoxu has lost a lot of weight, his foundation is still there.

However, it may be due to the wound, or it may be the injury to the vocal cords, which caused Zhu Gaoxu's voice to be hoarse and unpleasant, and his spirit was also very sluggish, but he refused to rest.

"It's not certain yet, but apart from Zhan He, only the two of them are most likely to know about your allergy to shrimp."

Zhu Di's expression was heavy.

Whether it was Zhu Gaochi or Yao Guangxiao's hands, it was unacceptable for Zhu Di.

"That's not right, isn't that imperial chef the remnants of Jianwen? How could the elder brother and the young master get along with them?"

Zhu Gaoxu still asked in disbelief, but his expression was already somewhat shaken.

Zhu Gaochi was the crown prince, and Yao Guangxiao was Zhu Dijing's number one adviser. In the eyes of Jianwen Remnants, these two were almost sworn enemies, so it was impossible for them to collude.

"He Hou's identity is still uncertain. The few lines he left may be to mislead us, and even if he is really a remnant of Jianwen, he may be used by others."

Zhu Di replied again solemnly.

"I don't think it's possible, because the uncle and the young master have no motive at all!"

At this moment, Zhu Zhanhe finally frowned and interjected, he has been thinking about this issue since Zhu Gaoxu was allergic to now, but no matter how he analyzed it, he couldn't think of the motive of the two of them?
"Why not, let's not talk about it, the young master. The eldest brother has made a big mistake, and the position of the crown prince is about to be lost, so it is normal for him to vent his anger on me!"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly slapped his hands and came to a conclusion.

"Hey, your eldest brother was only grounded, and did not abolish the crown prince, and you know him well, is he so narrow-minded?"

Why did Zhu Di interject, and when he spoke, he and Zhu Zhanhe looked at each other, both of them were a little helpless.

Zhu Gaoxu still doesn't know that it's just a show that he replaced Zhu Gaochi in power, so his conclusion is simply untenable.

"Father's words seem to make sense, and the boss doesn't seem to be such an impulsive person."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words. Based on his understanding of Zhu Gaochi, the other party really couldn't do such a thing.

"Why don't we leave this matter to Jin Yiwei and ask them to investigate the prince and the young master to see if they are related to He Hou?"

Zhu Di finally decided that he thought it would be more reassuring to use Jin Yiwei's power to investigate.

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanhe stood up and objected.

"Why?"

Zhu Di frowned.

"Grandfather, whether it is the uncle or the young master, they are the people closest to you. Everything now is just speculation. If you send Jin Yiwei to investigate them based on these, if the news leaks, I am afraid it will alienate the grandfathers and the others. feelings between."

As soon as Zhu Zhanhe's words fell, Zhu Gaoxu also stood up and said: "Father, I think Zhanhe's words make sense. Instead of sending Jin Yiwei to investigate secretly, it's better to call the elder brother and the young master to ask them face to face. !"

"Father is really clever, I think so too!"

Zhu Zhanhe's eyes lit up when he heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, and he agreed.

Call Zhu Gaochi and Yao Guangxiao to question them face to face. First, you can observe their reactions. Second, you can use the wisdom of the two of them to help them think about whether there is anything missing in this matter.
Zhu Di is also a smart person, and he immediately understood the conversation of his children and grandchildren, and immediately ordered: "Come on, call the prince and the young master to Wenhua Palace!"

The eunuch Huang Yan agreed, and immediately sent someone to notify.

Zhu Gaochi was very close, so he arrived at the Wenhua Palace in a short time.

Zhu Gaochi was also full of doubts at this time, he was soundly asleep, but was woken up, so he didn't have time to comb his hair, and there were still gums hanging from the corners of his eyes.

As soon as he entered the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Gaochi immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right, and then he saw that Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe and his father were also there, and his father Zhu Di had a serious face, which made his heart sink even more.

"See father, I don't know why you summoned your ministers late at night?"

Zhu Gaochi cautiously stepped forward to salute Zhu Di.

Zhu Di didn't speak, but waved at him impatiently.

Now Zhu Gaochi was also confused, what does waving mean, let him go back?

"Uncle, please sit here first, we will talk when the young master arrives!"

Zhu Zhanhe greeted him.

"The young master is coming too!"

Zhu Gaochi was startled, and called him and Yao Guangxiao in the middle of the night, obviously it couldn't be a trivial matter.

After waiting for a while, Yao Guangxiao finally arrived at the Wenhua Hall. Like Zhu Gaochi, he guessed that something big was going to happen when he saw the situation in the hall.

"Your Majesty, what happened in the palace?"

Yao Guangxiao quickly stepped forward and asked, he hadn't received any news beforehand, so it could only be that something major happened in the palace and the news was blocked.

"That's right, the second child was poisoned today and almost died of suffocation. Fortunately, Zhan He saved his life!"

Zhu Di nodded.

"What! The second brother was poisoned?"

Zhu Gaochi who was next to him also stood up suddenly when he heard the words. He had been guessing what happened just now, but he never expected such a thing to happen.

"Wait, isn't the second brother doing well now?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaochi felt something was wrong again, and turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu and asked with a puzzled expression.

The wound on Zhu Gaoxu's neck was very small, and it was covered by his collar, so he couldn't find it unless he looked carefully.

"Uncle doesn't know. To be precise, my father has a severe allergy. In fact, it is similar to poisoning. If we don't rescue him in time, he will also die."

Zhu Zhanhe opened his mouth to explain, and then explained what happened today in detail.

"My dad is allergic to shrimp. My dad's mouth was swollen when I rescued my uncle last time. It happened that my uncle had eaten lobster before. That's why I concluded that he was allergic to shrimp. I didn't tell anyone at the time. I said no. Someone outside should know."

Zhu Zhanhe finally added.

"I see. No wonder the second brother's mouth was so swollen that day."

Zhu Gaochi nodded thoughtfully.

"The fact that the second child is allergic to shrimp meat, apart from himself and Zhan He, only you two may know!"

Zhu Di also spoke, keeping his eyes fixed on Zhu Gaochi and Yao Guangxiao while speaking.

"Father, I swear I really didn't know about this. At that time, Zhan He said that my second brother was attacked by the evil energy in my body, and I was worried about it for a long time."

Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Di solemnly.

Then Zhu Gaochi turned around again and said to Zhu Gaoxu again: "Second brother, you saved me that day and said something to me, do you remember?"

"What?"

Zhu Gaoxu blinked his eyes and asked, he said a lot, and sometimes he just forgot after saying it, let alone after such a long time.

"You said to me that day, you want my seat, not my life, and I will give you this sentence today, don't say you haven't taken my seat, even if you really became the prince, I will never do anything to hurt you just for a seat!"

Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Gaoxu's eyes and replied seriously.

Zhu Gaoxu was also excited when he heard the words, and he jumped up and said, "Boss, I believe you!"

Zhu Di also believed in Zhu Gaochi. After all, both he and Zhu Zhanhe knew that Zhu Gaochi had no motive to kill Zhu Gaoxu at all.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di's gaze also turned to Yao Guangxiao who had been silent all this time.

"Your Majesty, I know that Hanwang is allergic to shrimp!"

Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao bowed deeply to Zhu Di and said very calmly.

"As expected, you are proficient in medical skills, and it is not surprising that you know about allergies."

Zhu Di nodded, and Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe also focused their attention on Yao Guangxiao.

"The crown prince didn't tell the truth that day, but I saw the crown prince eating lobster before and saw Hanwang's symptoms, so I already guessed the truth, but I have no motive to kill!"

Yao Guangxiao finally said calmly again.

"That's not right, young master, you support my elder brother. Now that you see me sitting in the Wenhua Palace, don't you feel anxious?"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly doubted.

He has ruled out Zhu Gaochi, so the only possible murderer left is Yao Guangxiao, not to mention that Yao Guangxiao also admitted to knowing about his allergy to shrimp.

Yao Guangxiao was not angry when he heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, but calmly smiled and said: "Hanwang, you are wrong, I support the prince, just considering the overall situation, but if your majesty insists on making you the prince, I will not object too much, after all, I am not Jin Zhong!"

Regarding Yao Guangxiao's words, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanhe also nodded secretly.

After Jing Nan succeeded, Yao Guangxiao had a nonchalant attitude towards the court. Although he usually participated in some things, he still stayed in the Tianjie Temple to practice more.

Jin Zhong is a hard-core princeling, he can contradict Zhu Di for Zhu Gaochi, and even be arrested and imprisoned without complaint or regret, but Yao Guangxiao will never do such a thing, so instead of doubting him, it is better to doubt Jin Zhong in prison. motivation is even greater.

"It's not the eldest brother, nor the young master, so no one will know about my allergy to shrimp!"

Zhu Gaoxu felt that his mind was even more confused, and he had no idea about this matter at all.

"Dad, have you ever told anyone about your allergy to shrimp?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly thought of a possibility, Zhu Gaoxu's big mouth has always been unguarded, and he might have accidentally revealed this life-and-death secret.

"No, after you told me that day, I forgot about it myself, and I didn't remember it until you mentioned it again today."

Zhu Gaoxu spread his hands in aggrieved way.

Since the news did not leak from Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanhe's eyes turned to Yao Guangxiao again.

Apart from Zhu Zhanhe and his son, only Yao Guangxiao knew about this matter. Could it be that he leaked the news?

But Zhu Zhanhe quickly ruled out this idea, because Yao Guangxiao knew the importance of such an important matter, if he hadn't asked about it today, he might have brought this secret into the coffin.

"My lord, you only stare at me and the prince, are you ignoring some people?"

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe looking at him, Yao Guangxiao immediately guessed what he was thinking, so he reminded him.
