Chapter 36: The game before the bloodbath, the calmness of the two brothers (seeking follow-up reading, monthly ticket, and recommendation)

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's guards went to the Imperial Hospital and arrested all the doctors in the hospital, including the Imperial Hospital envoy, and took them to the Crown Prince's Palace."

Just as the guards of the Eastern Palace were arresting people, Zhu Xian, a captain of the imperial guards' office, hurried to the imperial study and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"what happened?"

A brief flash of astonishment flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, then he looked at Zhu Xian and asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace is under martial law, so I have no way of knowing."

Zhu Xian still bowed.

In the entire imperial palace, only the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace was not within the inspection range of the Royal Guards' Mansion.

Moreover, this was Zhu Yuanzhang's order, so naturally no one dared to disobey it.

"Take my gold medal and go. We will know the reason within half an hour."

While Zhu Yuanzhang was speaking, Wang Jinghong had already handed the gold medal to Zhu Xian.

"I will obey your order."

Zhu Xian respectfully took the gold medal, then bowed and left the imperial study.

"By the way, is His Royal Highness Prince Jin among them?"

Just as Zhu Xian was about to step out of the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Reporting to your majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin entered the palace at 3 p.m., accompanied by Xie Yuer, the legitimate daughter of the Vice Governor Xie Cheng."

Zhu Xian turned around and clasped his fists again.

The captain on duty today is Zhu Xian, so Zhu Xian must know whether Zhu Gang has entered the palace.

Otherwise, once it is discovered, even if Zhu Xian's father is Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia, he will be sentenced to death.

"Go."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and waved his hand again.

"I'll take my leave."

Zhu Xian just breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the imperial study.

After all, no matter when he faced Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xian could feel the tremendous dragon power around Zhu Yuanzhang, so how could he not be afraid?
"Wang Jinghong, what do you think the Crown Prince and Prince Jin want to do?"

After Zhu Xian left, Zhu Yuanzhang closed the memorial in his hand and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, I dare not make random guesses."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinghong bowed immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself set the rules that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

Even Wang Jinghong, the eunuch chief who was closest to Zhu Yuanzhang, did not dare to overstep the mark in the slightest.

"I'm a little curious."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked to the window, then looked towards the East Palace.

Prince's East Palace.

Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao were sitting in the inner hall, not caring at all about the crying outside. Instead, they continued to play chess calmly.

"Brother, your chess skills have improved a lot, haven't they?"

Zhu Gang looked at the chess board in front of him and it was so evenly matched that he exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"We can't let your family be the only one showing off forever, can we?"

Zhu Biao said with a smile on his face.

"I complimented you a few times, and you gasped."

Zhu Gang immediately rolled his eyes at Zhu Biao.

"In the three years since you left Yingtian Prefecture, I have been practicing chess all the time."

"I hope that after you return to Yingtian, I can play a good game of chess with you."

Zhu Biao made another move and then chuckled, "After losing for so many years, I finally won a game."

As he spoke, a look of emotion flashed across Zhu Biao's face.

It seems that he was beaten badly by Zhu Gang at the game of Go in the past few years.

"I have been fighting against the grassland for two years, and my mind has long been away from Go."

After Zhu Gang made a move, he looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile: "But you want to beat me? You are still a little short of the mark."

Zhu Gang’s Go master was also Master Li Xiyan, and he was even better than his master. At the age of twenty, he could play against Master Li Xiyan without losing.

As for Zhu Biao, he was burdened with state affairs and was not proficient in chess.

However, in recent years, Zhu Gang has been lingering on the battlefield, and his chess skills are no longer as good as before, but his art of gambling has reached a high level.

So Zhu Gang would not lose this round. "The real test will be revealed in the hands."

Zhu Biao continued to press forward.

"Afraid you won't succeed?"

Zhu Gang was also unwilling to be outdone.

The chess game between the two brothers was more like a fight on the battlefield, with one brother taking turns to perform, but judging from the chess game, they were still evenly matched for the time being.

This made Chang Qingyun and Xie Yuer on the side a little bit amused and helpless. The two brothers really had a good relationship since childhood, but they were also very serious about it and neither of them was willing to admit defeat.

"Sister, Yu'er will bring you some candied haws tomorrow."

Just as the two Zhu Gang brothers were playing chess, Xie Yuer raised her head and looked at Chang Qingyun.

"Why did you bring candied haws for your sister?"

Chang Qingyun pulled Xie Yuer to her side and asked with a smile.

Xie Yuer directly hugged Chang Qingyun's arm and said with a smile: "Because of the candied haws, the medicine doesn't seem bitter anymore."

"it is good."

Chang Qingyun gently pinched Xie Yuer's cheek and did not reject Xie Yuer's kindness.

"Uh-huh."

Xie Yuer also smiled happily.

"Brother, you lost."

Zhu Gang looked at the chess board in front of him, and with his palm flattened, he looked at the frowning Zhu Biao.

"How could I lose? How could I lose?"

Zhu Biao was not willing to pay any attention to Zhu Gang at all, and his eyes were still fixed on the chessboard.

Obviously this guy can't afford to lose.

"Why? Since the verdict hasn't been released yet, how about another one?"

Zhu Gang looked at Zhu Biao, who seemed to be unable to accept defeat, and raised his eyebrows.

"Come!"

Zhu Biao did not hesitate at all and began to collect the chess pieces on the board, preparing to play another game with Zhu Gang.

"bring it on."

Zhu Gang looked at Zhu Biao who had taken back the chess piece, still smiling.

"What are you doing?"

But at this moment, a surprised female voice sounded in the yard.

As soon as this voice sounded, Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao both narrowed their eyes and looked towards the door.

Even Chang Qingyun's expression darkened, apparently she was too familiar with this voice.

Who else could this person be? It could be none other than the Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Lu.

And now Chang Qingyun has figured it out. Among those who want to harm her, Lu is definitely a huge suspect.

After all, Chang Qingyun has always been kind to others since she entered the palace, and it is absolutely impossible for her to offend anyone.

Secondly, if Chang Qingyun died, the biggest beneficiary would be the Lu family.

So even Chang Qingyun, who usually had a mild temper, couldn't help but feel angry and aggrieved.

As for why you feel wronged?

That's because ever since Lu married into the Prince's Eastern Palace, Chang Qingyun had never criticized Lu and always treated her like a real sister.

Even though Zhu Biao had always ignored Lu, Chang Qingyun would still speak up for Lu. So if this incident was really done by Lu, Chang Qingyun would definitely be very disappointed.

"Isn't she grounded?"

Zhu Gang turned his head and looked at Chang Qingyun and asked.

"This is my sister's fault. I didn't want to make things too awkward with her. After all, they are all concubines of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I changed it to a one-month house arrest, limited to the Eastern Palace."

Chang Qingyun sighed and said, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have rather not let him go."

"This is because my sister is kind-hearted. No wonder she is so kind."

In response to this, Zhu Gang shook his head slightly.

"Old Third, why do I feel like you're coming for me?"

But Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Gang with some displeasure.

After all, when Zhu Gang looked at Chang Qingyun just now, he also glanced at Zhu Biao. Isn't this suspecting that it was Zhu Biao who did it?
My uncle can bear it, but my aunt can't!
