Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand, signaling the Hengdao Army to retreat.

Zhu Yunhuan walked up to Zhu Yunwen.

Without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped Zhu Yunwen in the face, making him see stars.

"Call me His Royal Highness, the Grandson of Gu!"

"You...you dare to hit me?" Zhu Yunwen covered his beaten face with a serious look.

I was actually beaten?

Zhu Yunhuan slapped him again with his backhand, "Who do you think you are? You are just a bastard. If your brother had not died early, how could you, a bastard, have the right to make decisions? Have you read so many books that you have lost your mind? Don't you know what the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children is?"

"Zhu Yunxun, you dare to hit your brother! How presumptuous! You have read so many books that you have no place in the world! You are committing insubordination!"

When Mrs. Lu saw her son being beaten, she quickly took Zhu Yunwen into her arms.

Zhu Yunxun snorted coldly, "I don't hit women. Come, send the mother and daughter back to the side hall."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuchs around received the order and four of them came up immediately to control Lu and Zhu Yunhuan.

"Zhu Yunxun, what are you doing! You put your father under house arrest, and are you going to put your mother under house arrest as well?"

Lu said strugglingly.

Unfortunately, he was held tightly by two eunuchs and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

The eunuchs are the most opportunistic people in the entire palace.

No matter what the princess is in front of him.

Without power, you are nothing.

"Stop making noise. Just because I don't hit women doesn't mean I won't find someone! Someone come here." Zhu Yunhuan shouted.

"I'm here. What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want me to do?" Another eunuch came up and responded.

"Go find the Duke of Founding and tell him that his nephew was bullied by this old lady. Ask him to find someone. If you can't find the Duke of Founding, go find the Duke of Liang!" Zhu Yunhuan ordered.

"According to the order."

The eunuch took the order.

Zhu Yunxun hummed, "When they come, tell them not to disturb me while I'm resting."

"As you wish." The eunuch agreed and hurried to find the founding duke Chang Sheng.

At this moment, Lu felt as if there were ten thousand horses galloping in his chest.

I couldn't help but think of the time around noon today when Chang Sheng slapped me. Chang Sheng had no idea how much damage that slap had caused to him, sob.

"Ms. Lu, remember, I don't have no blood relatives just because my mother died! My maternal grandfather was called Chang Yuchun, who was posthumously awarded the title of Yiyun Tuicheng Xuande Jingyuan Meritorious Official, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shangzhuguo, Taibao, Zhongshu Youchengxiang, and posthumously named King of Kaiping, with the posthumous title of Zhongwu, and was allowed to be worshipped in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. I also have two uncles, Chang Mao, the founding duke, who was posthumously named King of Xiaoyi Yong'an. Although he has passed away, I still have an uncle, Chang Sheng, the founding duke, and my cousin Chang Jizu, my great-uncle Lan Yu, and Uncle Feng, the Duke of Song, and so on. Because of marriage, I have a lot of relatives! Just because I don't hit women doesn't mean they won't hit them either!"

Zhu Yunhuan held his head high and chest out at this moment.

But the fact is that the power of the external relatives behind Zhu Yunhuan is too strong.

Zhu Yuanzhang's decision not to establish Zhu Yunhuan as the heir may have been partly due to this concern, as he was worried about the power monopolization of his foreign relatives.

If Zhu Yunwen was enthroned, Zhu Yuanzhang would only need to kill some of the Huaixi group's leaders to suppress the group. But if Zhu Yunhuan was enthroned, almost all of the Huaixi group would have to be killed, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not be at ease.

But if the Huaixi Group is completely wiped out, the Ming Dynasty will be left with no great generals outside and no capable ministers inside. Only the group of poor and corrupt scholars from the Jiangnan clans will be left. When they rule the world, the world will no longer be named Zhu, but Confucian!

By that time, the emperor will sit high in the temple, ruling the world with ease, and you will just need to be a mascot.

"you you you……"

Lu pointed at Zhu Yunhuan, wanting to say that Zhu Yunhuan couldn't afford to be fooled.

You fucking shake people!

"What do you mean by 'you'? Lord Yu, I am the crown prince, the heir apparent of the country, second only to the emperor and above all others. What do you, a crown prince's successor, mean to me?"

Personally, I am the legitimate son of the late crown prince, and my biological mother is the crown prince's wife, Chang. You are a concubine, have you forgotten the order of seniority in front of the legitimate son?

Or do you think that if a concubine is promoted to the first wife, she will really be the first wife? You are like a pig with a green onion stuck in your nose, what are you trying to do? It is really ridiculous!"
