And that stumbling block is yourself.

Whether they like it or not, Zhu Yuanzhang's favor for them made Zhu Yunwen and Lu feel dangerous.

So they went against themselves and were even willing to ignore the millions of disaster victims in Shanxi in order to ensure the failure of their disaster relief efforts and damage their own reputation.

Now, it all makes sense.

No wonder Wang Ganju and his men were willing to offend the emperor's grandson who was an imperial envoy, and even kill him to silence him.

If the Eastern Palace was behind them, that would be normal.

"I am here and no longer pose a threat to them, so the most dangerous person now is you."

Zhu Yunhuan spoke slowly, interrupting Zhu Ming's thoughts.

Zhu Ming nodded silently, not denying Zhu Yunhuan's words.

Zhu Yunhuan was a prince after all, so they just put some charges of witchcraft on his head and left him no chance to speak.

But Zhu Ming was not only deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, but also had the support of Fang Xiaoru in the court.

This time when they returned from Shanxi, they also brought back the chess piece Wang Ganju who was arranged to go to Shanxi.

Their next step will definitely be to target me.

"So what you have to take care of now is not me, but yourself."

After Zhu Yunhuan finished speaking, he finally fell silent and stopped talking.

Zhu Ming suddenly chuckled, and suddenly relaxed: "If that's the case, then I must rescue you."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Zhu Ming suddenly standing up, Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help but be shocked.

Does this guy know that he is now much more dangerous than me?

"Since they regard me as an enemy, I must not let him succeed."

Zhu Ming patted Zhu Yunhuan on the shoulder. He had never seen the situation so clearly as he did now.

Before, he had always thought that he would just live as long as he could, and when he was granted the title of a vassal king, he would go and live as a free and easy prince.

But Zhu Yunwen and Lu would definitely not let it go: "Do you think that Zhu Yunwen will let me go after he ascends the throne?"

Zhu Yunhuan listened to Zhu Ming's question and began to ponder.

Zhu Ming was right. Given the viciousness of the Lu family, they would definitely wipe out the entire clan.

"I am just an outsider. This throne has nothing to do with me. But I cannot allow someone who wants to kill me to ascend the throne."

Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yunhuan seriously.

He not only wanted to rescue Zhu Yunhuan, but also wanted him to ascend the throne.

"You mean, let me fight for it?"

Zhu Yunhuan also understood what Zhu Ming meant.

He is an outsider and cannot compete for the throne.

But Zhu Yunhuan was different. He was also the son of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Jingyi, and had a natural prestige in the army.

It would be most appropriate to let him compete with Zhu Yunwen.

"So, what do you want to do?"

After being shocked, Zhu Yunhuan calmed down and asked.

In terms of power in the court, they cannot compare with the Lu family, and he is still in prison.

It's not that easy to fight.

"Wang Ganju..."

Zhu Ming touched his chin. Now the only card in his hand that could threaten the Lu family was Wang Ganju.

Only the evidence from his mouth can truly threaten the positions of Lu and Zhu Yunwen.

In the East Palace at this time.

Mrs. Lu looked at the pastries in front of her, but she had no appetite at all.

Zhu Yunwen stood aside cautiously, holding the cold food, his face full of worry.

"Mother, you haven't eaten for a day."

He frowned and called out softly.

What responded to him was Lu's impatient voice.

"I have no appetite. Take it away."

Lu waved her hand, trying to brush Zhu Yunwen off.

It was seen that Zhu Ming not only returned from Shanxi with disaster relief, but also brought Wang Ganju back with him.

If Wang Ganju gave out the letter, everything would be over for him.

Even if they wanted to silence the witness, it wouldn't be easy to succeed since this was under the emperor's feet and Zhu Yuanzhang was watching closely.

"Mother..."

Seeing Lu's distressed look, Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only call out softly again.

Mrs. Lu was already irritable at the moment, and after hearing Zhu Yunwen's voice, she became even more inexplicably annoyed. She turned around and glared at her.

"Your Highness, please let me do it."

Seeing this, the eunuch standing by walked over and took the food box from Zhu Yunwen.

"you?"

Zhu Yunwen looked at him suspiciously. He couldn't even persuade his mother, so how could he, a eunuch, do it?

"Your Highness, don't worry."

The man nodded respectfully and smiled slyly.

"Yun Wen, you go down first."

Seeing that someone finally let Zhu Yunwen go, Lu also spoke up, trying to make her tone sound gentler.

"That's...ok."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Lu, then at the young eunuch, hesitated for a while, and then retreated reluctantly.

"You go down too."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen retreat, Lu felt a little relieved. She turned around and asked the young eunuch to retreat as well.

"There's no need...to be so upset, Princess."

The eunuch did not retreat, but put the food box aside, walked to Lu's side and smiled evilly.

"Ok?"

When Lady Lu heard what the eunuch said, she looked back in surprise and asked, "Are you a stutterer?"

She didn't look familiar with this person and knew at first glance that he was new.

Although he paused while speaking, his face looked a bit cunning and he didn't seem like a simple person.

"It doesn't matter whether I stutter or not."

The man spoke hesitantly, walked up to Lu, and wrote the word "Ming" on the table with his hand dipped in water.

"I know that the Crown Princess is so upset and has lost her appetite because of the Shanxi prefect whom the young prince sent back to the capital."

The eunuch said with a smile.

After hearing the eunuch's words, Lu immediately became alert.

She had never told anyone about this matter, how could this little eunuch know about it?

"How dare you eavesdrop?"

She shouted and glared at the young eunuch fiercely.

"I just guessed it."

The young eunuch looked at Lu's fierce eyes, but he was not afraid at all and just laughed.

"Not only do I know why the Crown Princess is upset, I also know how to solve it."

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu calmed down and listened to what the young eunuch said.

The young eunuch leaned over to her ear and whispered something in a low voice.

The frown on his face slowly relaxed.

"What's your name?"

After the young eunuch finished speaking, she looked at him and asked in a deep voice.

"My name is Zhang Yong, and I am new to the East Palace."

The man took a few steps back, smiled and bowed deeply.

He knew that the Crown Princess and the young prince were fighting right now and they needed someone. If he stepped forward at this moment, he would surely be appreciated by the Crown Princess.

"I know, you go down first."

Lu nodded affirmatively and replied in a deep voice: "Just do as you say. When the matter is done, there will be a generous reward."
