Chapter 37 The Majesty of the Hongwu Emperor (Please read, vote for the monthly ticket, and recommend)
At this moment, the Crown Prince's concubine Lu stepped into the East Palace. When she looked at the people in front of her, her pupils suddenly shrank, but then recovered in an instant.

But how could this be hidden from Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao?
In that fleeting moment, Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao both saw it.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

Lu Yingying bowed and said.

But after a long time, she didn't hear Zhu Biao asking her to stand up, so she raised her eyes slightly, only to see Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao still playing chess, as if they didn't see her, Lu.

"Didn't you see the Crown Princess?"

Xie Yuer's somewhat indifferent voice sounded.

But to the ears of the Zhu Gang brothers and Chang Qingyun, it somehow sounded weird.

Could this be words that came out of Xie Yuer's mouth?

And why does the tone of these words sound so familiar?
"This girl"

Zhu Gang raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuer, and Xie Yuer responded to Zhu Gang with a smug smile.

Not only Zhu Gang understood it, but even Zhu Biao and Chang Qingyun understood it. No wonder it seemed so familiar?
This is exactly Zhu Tan's usual tone. She is indeed Zhu Tan's little fan girl, even her tone is so similar.

At the same time, the corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly. The third child in their family already had a very strange temper, and now there was another Xie Yuer. What about the child born?

Who can subdue him? I'm afraid it's another devil!
And there is their Zhu Xiongying. Wow, the days in the palace are becoming more and more promising.

"I have met my sister."

A hint of humiliation flashed across Lu's eyes, but she still bowed and saluted.

"Seen?"

Chang Qingyun raised her eyes, looked at Lu and said, "Lu, do you still have respect for superiors and subordinates?"

As soon as these words came out, a hint of disbelief flashed in Lu's eyes again.

Why is Chang Qingyun, who was as gentle as water in the past, so strong today?
Is it possible?
Mrs. Lu thought of the group of imperial doctors in the yard again, and her heart was suddenly shocked.

"Brother, I told you that your concubine doesn't know the rules, but you still don't believe it?"

Zhu Gang leaned lazily on the chair, a playful smile on his face as he said, "Do you believe it now?"

"Ah."

There was still no expression on Zhu Biao's face, he just nodded.

This scene made Lu feel even more disappointed.

Even though Zhu Biao was indifferent in the past, he was not as cold as he is today. Could it be that something was exposed?

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth lightly, then looked at Chang Qingyun and saluted.

After all, Lu still knows nothing, and given Crown Prince Zhu Biao's character, if there is really evidence, he must not have come to the main hall of the Eastern Palace himself, but was captured by the guards.

So Zhu Biao doesn't have any evidence in his hands, but he is probably aware of Chang Qingyun's affairs, otherwise he wouldn't be so indifferent.

The only option now is to deny it till death, otherwise it will not just be Lu who will suffer, but the entire Lu family.

It may even involve more Jiangnan gentry.

"Get up."

Chang Qingyun's expression relaxed a little, and he raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Princess Consort."

Mrs. Lu looked at Chang Qingyun's raised hand to salute, her face was blue and red, and her hands hidden under her sleeves were deeply embedded in her flesh and blood.

Chang Qingyun no longer regarded Lu as a sister, but rather as a wife looking at a concubine. After all, since Lu was taken into the Eastern Palace, Chang Qingyun had never used the gesture of raising her hand to greet her.

"Ms. Lu, have you reported to the palace?"

Zhu Biao looked at the chess board in front of him and said without turning his head.

"Reporting to Your Highness, no."

Lu's heart trembled, and he lowered his head again.

"Could it be that you are the Crown Prince's wife?"

Zhu Biao still didn't turn his head.

"I know my crime, please punish me, Your Highness."

Lu Shi understood her current situation. Even though she was extremely unwilling and resentful, what could she do? She just knelt down and kowtowed. Zhu Biao was able to take Lu Shi into the Eastern Palace because of her status as a Jiangnan gentry and her father, Lu Ben. If it weren't for this status, Lu Shi wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Eastern Palace, let alone be a concubine.

This was originally a political marriage, and of course there was no emotion involved.

So this is why Zhu Biao didn't like Lu at first.

"Get back."

At this time, Zhu Biao finally turned his head and looked at Lu and said coldly.

"I obey my orders."

When Lu looked into Zhu Biao's cold eyes, she realized that it was useless to say anything at this moment, so she nodded.

"Leave the girl next to you here. I have something to ask you."

Just after Lu stepped out of the door, Zhu Gang's voice rang out, and the two guards guarding the door blocked Lu's personal maid Xia Zhu in the hall.

"His Royal Highness?"

Sure enough, there was a flash of panic in Mrs. Lu's eyes, and she called out.

"According to King Jin's wishes."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said.

"Yes."

Even though Lu was helpless and secretly hated Zhu Biao for being ruthless, she had to nod. But the moment she turned her head, she looked at Xia Zhu with another threatening look before leaving the main hall.

"Miss."

Xia Zhu's face turned pale immediately, but he still looked in Lu's direction and nodded.

But can this threatening look really be hidden from these two little foxes?
I'm afraid not!
"I don't like nonsense. You only have one stick of incense."

Zhu Gang dropped the black piece in his hand, then turned to look at Xia Zhu, whose face was pale, and said softly.

"I don't know what your Highness is talking about."

Xia Zhu was startled and immediately bowed down and kowtowed.

"After one stick of incense, I will not ask about the results."

Zhu Gang picked up a chess piece, his eyes showing a hint of amusement: "Including you, all nine clans will be killed."

When Xia Zhu heard this, his body trembled violently and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

Another moment later, Xia Zhu looked up, her eyes full of disbelief, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Your Highness, what crime did this maid commit to deserve such a severe punishment?"

Zhu Gang still smiled softly, but that smile seemed particularly cold and piercing in Xia Zhu's eyes.

"You are Lu's personal maid, and also the Lu family's dowry girl. It would be strange if even you didn't know."

"And you just need to understand that you only have one chance." Zhu Biao slowly stood up and said.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The only sound in the room was the faint sound of burning incense, and each sound seemed to strike Xia Zhu's heart.

An indescribable aura emanated from Zhu Biao's body.

This fear, like an icy aura, corroded Xia Zhu's limbs and bones, making her face even paler.

"explain."

Another cold voice was heard, and the Prince of Qin, Zhu Chong, dressed in a black robe, had arrived at the palace gate.

Along came the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. May your Majesty be well and healthy."

"I, your daughter-in-law, pay my respects to your father (Your Majesty). May your father be well and healthy."

The Zhu Gang brothers stood up first, followed by Chang Qingyun and Xie Yuer.

"speak."

Zhu Yuanzhang just waved his hand and looked at Xia Zhu who was kneeling in front of him.

The voice was not loud, but it was like a cold winter wind, and it finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Xia Zhu.

"The maid deserves death!"
