Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

Early the next morning, Zhu Ming arrived at the door of Duke Wei's Mansion with the desserts prepared by Liu Jin.

"Your Highness, the lady is entertaining Miss Mu now."

Everyone in Duke Wei's mansion had already memorized Zhu Ming's identity, and they told him about Xu Miaojin's situation without Zhu Ming asking.

"Thank you very much."

Zhu Ming nodded, thanked him, and walked straight into the inner court.

"Your Highness, how come you have time to come here today?"

Seeing Zhu Ming coming, Xu Miaojin asked in surprise.

Mu Ruanjun stood aside, watching Xu Miaojin's attitude change and smiled silently.

"this is for you."

Zhu Ming put the dessert in his hand on the table next to Xu Miaojin, then reached out and touched her head.

"Thank you for your hard work during the recent period."

Not only did he make her worry because of his danger, but he also troubled Xu Miaojin for a month while she learned horse riding and archery.

Thinking about it carefully, since I met Xu Miaojin, apart from her strong personality, Xu Miaojin always supported me unconditionally no matter what happened to me.

"You, what are you doing!"

Xu Miaojin stared at Zhu Ming's actions in a daze. After a while, she finally reacted.

That cute little face instantly felt hot, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

The others were still there, and it was so embarrassing to watch, but she didn't reject Zhu Ming's action.

"What's the big deal? You're my future wife."

Zhu Ming looked at Xu Miaojin's appearance and laughed even more wildly.

He came here today to actually acknowledge this marriage.

I do have different feelings towards Xu Miaojin.

Hearing this, Xu Miaojin lowered her head even more, and even her ears turned red.

Even though he approved of this marriage, hearing it from Zhu Ming was another matter.

"Cough cough."

Mu Ruanjun looked at Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin being so close as if no one was around, and quickly coughed a few times to indicate that he was still there.

"There are outsiders here, how about I leave first?"

Mu Ruanjun stood up and spoke with a smile.

"Humph."

Xu Miaojin snorted, walked to Mu Ruanjun's side, quickly hugged her arm, distanced herself from Zhu Ming, and said coquettishly, "If you leave, who will accompany me?"

"I think His Royal Highness the Grandson is here, so he doesn't need me."

Mu Ruanjun turned around and looked at Xu Miaojin lovingly. Although Xu Miaojin looked careless, Mu Ruanjun was the more mature one between them.

To Xu Miaojin, she is like a sister.

"Well, actually, I came to see you for something."

Zhu Ming listened to Mu Ruanjun's sarcastic remarks to him and coughed a few times in embarrassment.

I came to Duke Wei's Mansion today not only to look for Xu Miaojin, but also to look for her.

Anyway, she can stay in Duke Wei's Mansion for two days out of three days, so coming here can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Oh? Looking for me?"

Hearing that Zhu Ming came here to find him, Mu Ruanjun frowned slightly.

"Um, Miao Jin, can we be alone for a while?"

Zhu Ming didn't say what it was about, but turned to Xu Miaojin and asked carefully.

"Ok."

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming, then at Mu Ruanjun, and nodded helplessly.

Although he didn't know what Zhu Ming could do to find Mu Ruanjun, he still trusted the two of them.

After just a response, Xu Miaojin simply stepped back and gave up the room.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Watching Xu Miaojin leave, Mu Ruanjun showed his mature side and looked at Zhu Ming seriously.

Her intuition told her that this matter was most likely related to the tranquilizing flower.

So when Zhu Ming asked Xu Miaojin to leave, she didn't say anything.

"Do you know anything about Gu insects?"

Zhu Ming walked to the door and looked for a while. After making sure that there was no one else there, he closed the door, frowned, and looked at her seriously.

Since he understands the true use of the tranquilizing flower, he should also have some understanding of things like poisonous insects.

"I learned about these when I was in Yunnan."

Mu Ruanjun nodded.

Seeing Mu Ruanjun nod, Zhu Ming seemed relieved.

"Then look at this."

As he spoke, he took out a silk scarf from his arms, opened it, and placed it on the table.

On the horse silk scarf was a shriveled poisonous insect as thin as a hair and completely white.

"This is?"

Mu Ruanjun looked at the poisonous insect, his brows furrowed even deeper, and his expression became serious.

"Accidental gain."

Zhu Mingdao.

This poisonous insect was certainly not an accidental discovery, but one he hid from Zhu Yunhuan's bottle of poisonous insects.

No matter what Zhu Yunhuan wanted to do, he felt that he should be prepared for these things.

It's an indescribable intuition.

"This kind of poisonous insect can suck a person's essence and blood, making them weaker and weaker. It cannot be detected by ordinary means."

Although he didn't know why Zhu Ming asked this, Mu Ruanjun still answered seriously: "The person who cast this kind of Gu must have a great attainment in Gu magic."

"What do you want to do by asking this?" she said, looking up at Zhu Ming and looking straight into his eyes.

"Don't ask this."

Zhu Ming carefully put the poisonous insect back into storage.

The less you know about this kind of thing, the better.

That's why he let Xu Miaojin leave, also to protect her.

Mu Ruanjun sighed: "Are you sure you won't involve Xu Miaojin?"

"I asked this so that I could protect her."

Zhu Ming nodded. Even if it was for the sake of protecting the people around him, he should also have some understanding of these things hidden in the dark.

"I hope so."

Mu Ruanjun could only look at Zhu Ming and sigh helplessly.

Although his father had some influence with His Majesty, his family's roots were all in Yunnan, and he was powerless when it came to matters in the capital.

"If Xu Miaojin is in danger, I will take her to Yunnan."

She calmed herself down, then looked at Zhu Ming again and began to speak.

This sentence is both a guarantee to Xu Miaojin and a threat to Zhu Ming.

She could not intervene in the struggle for imperial power.

But if Zhu Ming can't protect Xu Miaojin, she will take Xu Miaojin away from Zhu Ming.

If she were in Yunnan, she still had the confidence to protect Xu Miaojin.

"Well, I'm fine with that."

Zhu Ming nodded affirmatively. If he couldn't protect Xu Miaojin, it would be his fault.

I am not worthy of keeping Xu Miaojin by my side.

"Just pretend I never told you about the Gu worm."

Zhu Ming took a deep breath and returned to his normal expression before turning around and opening the door again.

Today's goal has been achieved.

"Your Highness, take care. Ruan Jun will not see you off."

Mu Ruanjun followed Zhu Ming to the door and smiled at him, as if the conversation just now had never happened.
