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

As a subject, I certainly cannot keep the emperor waiting!

So when the Jinyiwei said that the emperor was coming, the emperor had just set off, and the emperor's carriage and the guard of honor were just ready.

You know, it takes at least half an hour to travel from the imperial palace to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

However, when Xu Miaoyun and Xu Huizu walked outside the door, they were surprised to find that the Jinyiwei who had surrounded the mansion in three layers had now disappeared. The outside of the door was empty, which made them a little uncomfortable for a while.

"What happened? Why did the person suddenly disappear?"

Xu Miaoyun looked at Xu Huizu in confusion.

Xu Huizu looked into the distance with a thoughtful look on his face. He must have thought of something, but when he turned to look at Xu Miaoyun, he just shook his head gently and said, "I don't know either."

The waiting time is always long.

For Xu Miaoyun, it was undoubtedly an even longer journey. You know, there was a sword hanging over her head, or even the entire Xu family's head!

If this sword falls, there may be no recovery!

Yet, at this very moment, the Emperor had come to the Duke of Wei's mansion for no apparent reason, and might even be about to personally take action...

Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyun's face turned even worse.

Half an hour of anxiety passed slowly in agony. When Xu Miaoyun saw the emperor's carriage, her face turned bitter and she shook her head gently, saying, "This moment has finally come!"

However, when she turned her gaze to Xu Huizu, she saw that he actually smiled, which immediately made her puzzled, "You..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Xu Huizu laughed out loud.

"Sister, I wasn't sure before, but now I am certain. The emperor isn't here to kill us! Our Xu family has truly taken a turn for the better!"

"what!"

Xu Miaoyun widened her eyes in surprise at Xu Huizu's words. She wanted to ask in detail, but the Jinyiwei in the front rushed over and talked to them about the matters related to welcoming the emperor.

"May my emperor be blessed and safe!"

Xu Miaoyun and the other person knelt on the ground, speaking in a respectful tone.

After waiting for a long time, they didn't hear the sound of anyone standing up. When they were surprised, suddenly, a pair of strong hands appeared in front of Xu Miaoyun and helped her up, and a voice full of majesty sounded.

"Little nephews and nieces, please don't be so polite!"

During the uprising, Zhu Yuanzhang was Xu Da's sworn brother, so it is understandable that he now calls them nephew and niece.

However, what made Xu Miaoyun curious was why the Emperor suddenly became so amiable?

"Let's go in and talk!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, then took Xu Huizu's hand with his left hand and Xu Miaoyun's hand with his right hand, and walked towards the Duke of Wei's mansion.

This made the two of them feel a little flattered!

You know, this is a treatment that even ordinary princes cannot enjoy.

After entering the mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally sat in the lobby. He also asked Xu Huizu and Xu Miaoyun to sit on his left and right respectively. It was so cordial.

What a nice greeting!

Half an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace.

It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial carriage disappeared from the end of their sight that the two men came to their senses. They looked at the deep shock in each other's eyes and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"So, Your Majesty is not only not going to kill my brother-in-law, but is also going to personally welcome him back?"

Xu Huizu was shocked.

The brother-in-law he was talking about was Lin An!

Xu Miaoyun nodded belatedly, "Your Majesty seems to be suggesting this! But why, in just three days, has His Majesty's attitude changed so drastically?"

……

Northern Military Camp

In the central army tent, cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and a group of generals gathered together to drink and eat meat. It was so joyful that almost all the generals gathered around Lin An, and directly ignored Xu Da and Zhu Di!

The generals kept toasting Lin An, which made him a little drunk. After the celebration banquet, Lin An was already drunk, and Xu Miaojin waited on him and helped him rest.

Xu Da also had a smile on his face.

Zhu Di's expression was somewhat complicated.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he walked out slowly. At this moment, the soldiers had already rested, and only three or two patrolling guards were still active. The sky was very dark, and countless densely packed stars made the starlight come up and down and sprinkle on the earth.

Under the starry sky, Zhu Di looked into the distance.

"What are you thinking?"

A voice sounded from behind.

Zhu Di sighed and said, "The more merits and achievements you have, the faster you will die!"

Xu Da walked slowly to Zhu Di and sat down beside him with a rather heroic attitude. He just smiled lightly when he heard the words and then said:

"Did you know that I just had someone get him drunk at the celebration party?"

Zhu Di had already seen through Xu Da's thoughts and said softly, "Of course I want to keep him! My father-in-law, you also know what my father wants to do to the Marquis, and you still want to lead him into the fire pit..."

Zhu Di became more and more anxious as he spoke, and his tone was even a little hurried at the end!

However, Xu Da's expression remained calm. He leaned back on the grass, his hands behind his head, and looked up at the endless starry sky. He said:

"You probably don't know yet, but the Imperial City has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few days!"

"My good brother had the Imperial Guards surround my home, and he also ordered the closure of Xiaolin's Jishiditang! I originally thought he was really planning to take action against us, but... I just received a piece of news that should directly turn the situation around!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di immediately perked up and looked at Xu Da with wide eyes, "Tell me quickly, what's the news?"

The tone was obviously a bit excited.

Xu Da, however, let out a breath calmly and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already found out Lin An's true identity. I believe that once His Majesty knows, not only will he not kill Lin An again, he might even make him the Supreme Emperor!"

"Oh, my dear father-in-law, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now! Don't make me anxious to death!"

Seeing that Xu Da couldn't get to the point, Zhu Di was really anxious and scratched his head.

Xu Da laughed heartily and said, "Lin An is the adopted son Zhu Hong, whom His Majesty and the Queen adopted earlier!"

"It's really him..."

At this moment, there was no trace of shock on Zhu Di's face, because there had been clues that made him suspicious before, but he had never been able to produce any definite evidence!

Xu Da asked again: "Then do you know who his biological parents are?"

Zhu Di was stunned.

Xu Da said, "You probably don't know that you weren't even born when Xiaolin's biological father passed away. But now that you control the palace archives, you should know about Brother Liu!"

"Brother Liu, this sounds so familiar..."

Zhu Di was slowly savoring the story, and at the end, his eyes suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief.

"Really..."

His breathing was rapid and his chest heaved violently.

Xu Da nodded and said softly, "So I say, now it's not impossible for His Majesty to really honor Xiao Lin as the Supreme Emperor!"
