Start by saving Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang honors me as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, as if he was having a psychological struggle.

Obviously, the way Zhu Chong got in must not be so glorious.

Moreover, the emperor has issued a strict decree. If he enters again, it would be disobeying the imperial decree. If he is discovered by the emperor, he will definitely be punished even if he is the crown prince!

Can……

What secrets are there?

"it is good!"

Finally, Zhu Biao nodded.

Zhu Chong burst out laughing, then pulled Zhu Biao and ran deep into the corridor, turning left and right, not knowing where they were going. When they arrived at a sparsely populated area, and it was still a very unfamiliar territory, Zhu Biao frowned immediately, "Where are you taking me?"

Zhu Chong pointed to a muddy path not far away and said, "Go straight from here. At the end of this road, behind the Imperial Prison, there is a dog hole..."

To put it bluntly, it's like climbing a dog hole!

"No! I won't go! I am a prince after all, how can I climb through a dog hole!" Zhu Biao still had some airs of status.

Zhu Chong asked, "Big brother, do you want to know the secrets of the imperial prison?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Then the two of them ran inside, one in front and one behind. Then they crawled through the dog hole. Judging from Zhu Chong's appearance, it must be his first time to crawl! His butt was even raised high!

Soon, the two of them went in.

The imperial prison was very dark, but it was planned and built by the prince, so Zhu Biao was very familiar with the terrain here. In a short while, they entered the cell!

All the cells in the imperial prison were empty, but the pungent smell of blood was still very strong. The vision was much dimmer than before. There were no candles on either side of the walls. It was extremely dark. There seemed to be gusts of cold wind at the end of the corridor, which made them shudder.

The cell was very quiet, but soon the silence was broken. Zhu Biao heard someone talking from the other side, and it looked like it was not just one person!

and many more!

Those who were speaking were the officials from the Ministry of Justice who disappeared!

There is also a very unfamiliar voice!

Zhu Biao suddenly became alert and glanced at Zhu Chong. The truth of the matter seemed to be before his eyes. He could not help but feel excited. Zhu Chong also glanced back and whispered in Zhu Biao's ear:

"Brother, the Emperor must be hiding something important from us!"

nonsense!

Zhu Biao ignored Zhu Chong and walked straight forward, but soon, a shocking scene came into his sight!

I saw those officials kneeling in front of a disheveled, slightly fat man. The clothes the man was wearing looked like prison uniforms!

and many more!

what's the situation!

Officials kneel down before the prisoners!

Moreover, the prisoner's attitude seemed to show that he did not take these important officials of the court seriously. He crossed his legs and ordered the officials around. The officials did not dare to even fart and just listened to the words of a prisoner.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react. His eyes then fell on the prisoner. The view in the cell was too dim, and the guy had a thick layer of hair covering his cheeks, so he couldn't see clearly at all!

Zhu Chong was also shocked. He could never have imagined that there would be such explosive content in this small imperial prison. He hurriedly looked at Zhu Biao and was about to speak when he saw Zhu Biao suddenly open his eyes wide, revealing a trace of horror.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Chong asked subconsciously!

Zhu Biao retracted his gaze, swallowed hard, and then said, "I think I know that person..."

"know?"

Following the direction of Zhu Biao's finger, Zhu Chong saw the high-ranking prisoner and asked curiously, "Which founding father is he? I don't have any impression of him at all!"

In recent years, Zhu Yuanzhang killed many founding fathers, especially the Huaixi nobles headed by Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Biao shook his head and said calmly, "He is Zhao Cheng!"

Hearing this name, Zhu Chong felt that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. He could only shake his head and whispered, "I don't remember. What does he do..."

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Chong, turned around and walked towards the place he had come from before. When he saw Zhao Cheng, he basically knew the secret of why this imperial prison was under martial law.

Seeing Zhu Biao leave, Zhu Chong was still confused, but he had to leave with him. After leaving the imperial prison and returning to the prince's bedroom, and letting all the servants leave, Zhu Chong finally couldn't suppress his inner doubts and said:

"Brother, you've had a stern face ever since you got out of the Imperial Prison. Did you discover something? Also, why did that official from the Ministry of Justice kneel down before a prisoner?"

"Could it be..." Zhu Chong's eyes widened in shock, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret. "Could it be that that person is my father's rival in love?"

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Chong again, feeling helpless about this guy's bizarre ideas. He sighed and said:

"Didn't you ask who Zhao Cheng was earlier? Well, let me tell you now. Do you still remember when you were little, there was a tall uncle who taught you sword skills?"

Zhu Chong thought about it, then nodded blankly, "I remember! I remember that master's kung fu was very good, and my second brother was very quick to understand. Sometimes he would understand things immediately. When we were practicing sword together, he was the best..."

This second brother is naturally Zhu Hong!

That person might have become a pile of bones now...

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Chong was stunned. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He looked at Zhu Biao and said in surprise:

"Brother, why do you think our father imprisoned Zhao Cheng?"

"Since Chen Youliang sent people to assassinate us, we haven't seen any trace of him!"

The shock on Zhu Chong's face disappeared, replaced by a faint sadness, because he thought of Zhu Hong, his second brother who was extremely kind to him!

Zhu Biao said, "The one who revealed our location to Chen Youliang was Zhao Cheng!"

These words, like thunder, exploded in Zhu Chong's ears. He stood up suddenly, staring at Zhu Biao, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! How could Master Zhao betray us? It must be Chen Youliang's plan to sow discord! Yes, it's a plan to sow discord. I'm going to explain everything to Father right now..."

Zhu Chong had a very good impression of Zhao Cheng, so when he heard that Zhao Cheng had committed such a heinous crime that would result in the execution of his entire clan, he immediately found it unbelievable!

Zhu Biao stood up and stopped Zhu Chong who was about to leave in a hurry. He took a deep breath and said, "What do you think you know? I was the one who investigated Zhao Cheng's affairs. Even Chen Youliang and his son confessed to this. Don't mess around!"

Seeing this, Zhu Chong did not insist any longer, but a new doubt suddenly came to his mind!

Logically speaking, the person who put them in danger should have been cut into pieces long ago, but even though Zhao Cheng was imprisoned now, looking at the guy's appearance, he seemed to be living a more comfortable life than them.

Zhu Chong was the kind of person who had no brains, or not much brains at all. He really couldn't figure out what the problem was. He just felt that something was strange. However, when he looked at Zhu Biao, he was suddenly stunned. He thought that Zhu Biao must know something.

So, he quickly asked, "Brother, you should be able to guess what the emperor's move means!"

Zhu Biao hummed, and he looked at Zhu Chong, as if he was thinking about whether he should say this. After a moment, he took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and said:

"The Emperor and the Queen are so kind to Lin An, a little too kind!"

"I had my suspicions from the beginning, so I investigated Lin An's identity. Guess what? Lin An is an orphan, and that Jishiditang was left to him by his adoptive parents!"

"As for his biological parents, I haven't found any clues until today!"

“So, I had a bold guess!”

He looked into Zhu Chong's eyes and said slowly, almost word by word: "Lin An's true identity is very likely Zhu Hong!"
