My father is Jiajing

Chapter 436 Is my sister-in-law asleep? (Two in one)

Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan, the residence of Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing felt that all the spiritual energy he had cultivated for many years was being destroyed by this little bastard Prince Jing.

Liu Dezhu, who was still kneeling on the ground in a corner of the temple, was also trembling and dared not breathe, for fear that his movement would anger Emperor Jiajing who was on the verge of going berserk.

Emperor Jiajing sat on his cushion with a gloomy face. He did not meditate, but put his legs down on the ground. There seemed to be a gleam of fire in his eyes, and he no longer looked like an immortal.

Time passed by little by little, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

When Huang Jin brought King Jing to Yuxi Palace, Huang Jin's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Although it was a quiet night, Huang Jin could clearly feel how terrifying the heavy pressure in Yuxi Palace was.

King Jing, who was wearing a cloak to cover his face, was also very nervous and trembling with fear.

"Eunuch, why don't you go and report to the emperor first? I'll wait here for the summons."

King Jing was also afraid at this time, and he made a small suggestion to Huang Jin.

But how could Huang Jin dare to let King Jing leave him even a step?

He said to King Jing, "Your Highness, don't be nervous. The Emperor said that he will take you in directly."

King Jing had no choice but to follow Huang Jin and cautiously head towards the residence in Yuxi Palace.

This was also the first time in Prince Jing's life that he had entered the palace where Emperor Jiajing lived, but at this moment he was not excited at all, only filled with trembling fear.

Because Prince Jing also knew the prophecy of "two dragons never meet" believed by Emperor Jiajing. His elder brother and second brother were killed because they kept showing up in front of Emperor Jiajing.

Now Emperor Jiajing is so angry that he wants to meet him in person. Is he going to take his life?
So King Jing was extremely frightened and he really regretted it.

But now the matter is done and there is no going back, so I have no choice but to go in.

Emperor Jiajing heard the noise outside and knew that Huang Jin had returned.

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but stand up. He was so angry that he never dreamed that he would have such an outstanding son who actually used his princess to plot against his brother?
This is truly a strange story!

If this were to get out, the Ming Dynasty would lose all its face, and people for generations to come would laugh at the fact that the Jiajing dynasty produced such a great person.

King Jing followed Huang Jin and carefully entered the abode. He did not dare to raise his head and knelt as soon as he entered the room. "Your son Zhu Zaizhen pays homage to His Majesty, Father."

Huang Jin also quickly followed suit and bowed: "This servant has brought Prince Jing here."

Emperor Jiajing looked at his son kneeling on the ground, then looked at Huang Jin, "You go out first and guard the door."

When Huang Jin and Liu Dezhui in the corner heard what Emperor Jiajing said, it was like hearing the sound of nature. They quickly retreated outside the abode and guarded the door tightly, not letting any curious people get close.

Seeing that everyone had left, Emperor Jiajing took two quick steps and kicked them!
"Asshole! How could you do such a thing?"

Emperor Jiajing finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore and exploded.

He kicked Zhu Zaizhen without hesitation.

Zhu Zaizhen rolled on the ground twice after being kicked by Emperor Jiajing. He was so scared that he cried and said, "It's all my fault. I was blinded by greed, but please forgive me, father."

"I am ill and cannot do anything. King Jing's line will certainly die out, but I am unwilling to accept this. I also want someone to worship me a hundred years later and I also want to have a future, so I did such a foolish thing."

Emperor Jiajing felt a pain in his heart as he listened to Zhu Zaizhen's crying, and couldn't help wanting to kick him again.

But then I saw Zhu Zaizhen crying so miserably, and there seemed to be a slap mark on his face.

Emperor Jiajing calmed down his anger and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

Zhu Zaizhen did not dare to say that it was Zhu Zaigui who hit him, so he muttered, "I fell down by myself, it has nothing to do with my third brother."

Zhu Zaizhen's words were simply a cover-up. If Zhu Zaigui heard it, he would definitely not be able to help but slap Zhu Zaizhen again.

Emperor Jiajing was also clear about the situation, but he did not expect that it was Zhu Zaigui who slapped him, so after seeing the slap mark, Emperor Jiajing could not help but soften his heart.

Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Why didn't I throw you to death? How is your third brother now? What did he tell you?"

Zhu Zaizhen said: "My third brother is still in my house. He is also very angry, but he still forgave me. He told me to put the blame on him and he would take full responsibility, but I can't do this!"

After hearing what Zhu Zaizhen said, Emperor Jiajing was also a little surprised. He said, "You still have some conscience. If you really put the blame on your third brother and let him be ashamed, I can kill you today!"

Emperor Jiajing was still very protective of Zhu Zaigui. He knew very well that Zhu Zaigui was all his hope for the future.

If Zhu Zaigui's reputation was tarnished, things would become more difficult in the future.

After all, the successor king is not as lucky as the pioneer king.

Even if a pioneer king has done such huge shameful things as killing his brothers, sleeping with his sister-in-law, forcing his father, or even snatching the position of his eldest nephew, because he is a pioneer king, in addition to his personal strength, he also has a group of strong and loyal ministers to assist him. Therefore, as long as he has made outstanding achievements, those problems will not be a problem.

Naturally, there will be people who will defend them.

But how could the successor have such an opportunity? It was almost impossible for the successor to obtain a complete set of strong teams that belonged to him.

Therefore, if the successor monarch has flaws in morality or other aspects, it will be difficult for him to rule the world.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing was really afraid that Zhu Zaigui's reputation would be ruined by Zhu Zaizhen, making it impossible for Zhu Zaigui to control powerful ministers, rule the country, or stop the gossips of the world.

Then where is the majesty of the emperor in the future? Where is the prestige of the emperor?

Zhu Zaizhen cried, "What shall I do then?"

Emperor Jiajing took a deep breath and began to think.

Finally, Emperor Jiajing said with a cold look, "When you go back, comfort your princess and don't let her have any grudges. Don't let this matter get out at all. If necessary, you can also sentence her to death. I will also arrange for the execution of all those who knew about your affairs to solve your worries."

Zhu Zaizhen said aggrievedly: "What should I do? I still want a son to inherit the ancestral temple for me."

When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he suddenly got a headache. He held his forehead and said, "Can't you have some other pursuits?"

Zhu Zaizhen cried, "I am a useless man and have no other ideas. I don't want to be like other princes who have no heirs, buried in the dark underground like a weed, without the blood and offerings of my descendants." Zhu Zaizhen's words also softened the heart of Emperor Jiajing.

If other clan princes had died out, Emperor Jiajing would have been overjoyed. After all, if these people had died out, it would be one less burden for him and the court.

But if his own son was gone, Emperor Jiajing would still be very heartbroken, otherwise he would not have taken the prophecy of "two dragons never meeting" so seriously.

So at this time, Emperor Jiajing hesitated for a moment, and finally he said: "I will consider this matter for you, but you must appease your princess and not let her have any problems. Do you understand this?"

Zhu Zaizhen nodded quickly and said, "I understand! I will comfort the princess when I return and let her feel at ease to give birth to a child for me."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Zaizhen's current state and could not help but sigh, "The way to have descendants is to have luck and time to accumulate. If you want to have children just by this one calculation, you must have read too many vernacular novels."

"After you appease your princess, take her to your third brother's place more often when you have nothing to do. You can go outing together or worship at the mountain. With more opportunities like this, your issue of offspring will be settled."

After hearing what Emperor Jiajing said, Zhu Zaizhen was also surprised and bowed: "Thank you, father."

Emperor Jiajing waved his hands helplessly, "Go ahead, let your eunuch take you back quietly, don't let anyone see you. After you go back, you should discuss it with your third brother. I am tired, don't ask any more questions in the future."

Watching Zhu Zaizhen leave, Emperor Jiajing sighed again. He never dreamed that he would have such an abstract day.

Then Emperor Jiajing called Huang Jin in again, "Go find Lu Bang. I have something to do with him."

Huang Jin nodded and said yes without saying any unnecessary words. He immediately called Lu Bing over overnight.

After Lu Bang came to Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing gave Lu Bang an order to secretly deal with the imperial physician who had treated Zhu Zaizhen and all the people who knew about Zhu Zaizhen's physical condition, and not to keep any of them.

Lu Bing immediately accepted the order without asking the reason. That night he secretly dealt with all the imperial doctors and other relevant personnel who knew about Zhu Zaizhen's illness at that time, as if these people had never been in the world.

Zhu Zaizhen and his chief eunuch Liu Dezhuo carefully left the Western Garden. Zhu Zaizhen still covered his face with a cloak throughout the journey, without revealing any part of his face.

Zhu Zaigui was in a state of anxiety and was restless in Prince Jing's mansion. He never dreamed that he would be plotted against by Zhu Zaizhen in this way.

But even so, Zhu Zaigui was still lamenting the fate of Princess Jing. If things weren't handled well and something went wrong, the life of such a poor woman might be over.

So Zhu Zaigui was also thinking about how to save Princess Jing's life, but he racked his brains and couldn't seem to come up with a solution.

In the end, he could only sigh in ruthlessness and silently wait for the final judgment of Emperor Jiajing.

Zhu Zaizhen quietly returned in the dark with his chief eunuch. Zhu Zaizhen was extremely cautious and asked Liu Dezhu to clear out all the slaves and guards in the palace, and then he quietly went to find Zhu Zaigui.

"Third brother, it's me."

Zhu Zaizhen acted like a thief in his own house, calling out "Zhu Zaigui" in a low voice.

When Zhu Zaizhen saw that he had returned in one piece, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Could it be that the old Taoist priest has changed his diet to vegetarian? How can he be so merciful?"

Zhu Zaigui still looked at Zhu Zaizhen who had just returned with an unhappy attitude, "Speaking of things! How does His Majesty intend to deal with you and me?"

Zhu Zaizhen looked around again, and when he was sure that there was no third person here, he carefully said, "My father has forgiven me. He also ordered me to bring the princess to my third brother's house more often in the future, and accompany my third brother to go outings and worship the mountains. Only in this way can my offspring be guaranteed."

Wotma!
After hearing what Zhu Zaizhen said, Zhu Zai was stunned. Was this still the Taoist priest Jiajing who had lofty aspirations and perfected the imperial mind in his impression?
How could he say such a thing?

Zhu Zaigui looked at Zhu Zaizhen in disbelief.

Seeing Zhu Zaizhen's disbelieving look, Zhu Zaizhen immediately said anxiously, "This is true! Father told me this himself. Otherwise, how could I come back?"

Zhu Zaizhen looked at the anxious Zhu Zaizhen and couldn't help but believe it a little. He asked again: "Is it really like this?"

Zhu Zaizhen immediately swore and replied: "It is absolutely true. If I say anything false, God will punish me with lightning! That is what my father told me."

Zhu Zaigui felt that his brain was not enough.

How can this be?

Zhu Zaigui asked again: "What about Princess Jing? Your Majesty must have something else to say, right?"

Zhu Zaizhen was embarrassed for a moment, "Father did have something else to say. Father asked me to persuade the princess, otherwise she would have to be executed."

After hearing this, Zhu Zaigui also breathed a sigh of relief. This was more like the style of Taoist Priest Jiajing. How could he be so easy to talk to?

Zhu Zaiqi sighed, "Don't go. I'll convince the princess later. After all, I'm also at fault in this matter. If you go talk to her now, she might just be unable to get over it."

When Zhu Zaizhen heard that Zhu Zaigui was going to offer his help, he couldn't help but say with great joy: "Thank you for your hard work, Third Brother. From now on, if you have any requests, I will do it even if it means my death!"

Zhu Zai snorted, "You said it, and you can't go back on your word when the time comes."

Zhu Zaizhen looked at Zhu Zaiqi guiltily, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will never regret it!"

Zhu Zaizhen was too lazy to care about Zhu Zaizhen at this time. He said to Zhu Zaizhen: "I will go and persuade the princess to put her at ease. You and her must live a good life in the future and must not cause any problems again."

Zhu Zaizhen nodded twice, and then sent Zhu Zaigui to the small courtyard which was originally his and Prince Jing's bridal chamber.

Zhu Zaigui looked at the bridal chamber which was still lit, and couldn't help but sigh, "Just wait here."

Zhu Zaizhen obediently waited at the door outside the bridal chamber. Zhu Zaigui walked into the courtyard again with an indescribable mood, and finally arrived at the door of Princess Jing's bridal chamber.

Zhu Zaiqi knocked on the door gently, "Is your sister-in-law asleep? It's me."

Princess Jing, who was still in a daze in the room, trembled involuntarily when she heard the knock on the door. She was very scared, but the next sound made her feel inexplicably relieved.

Princess Jing responded weakly, "My Lord, is there anything wrong?"

It was inconvenient to talk through the door, so Zhu Zaigui said, "Let me go in and talk."

Princess Jing was silent for a while. Logically speaking, Prince Yu was her uncle and could not enter her room, but their relationship was so complicated that it was difficult to explain.

So at the end, Princess Jing still gently hummed, "Your Majesty, please come in."
