Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Then I heard him say in a mean voice:

"Uncle Zhu, is there a possibility that this roast duck was prepared for me by my aunt?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang actually laughed proudly, waved his hand and said bluntly:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Your aunt knows that I like roast duck, so she must have prepared it for me."

"If you want to eat it, at worst we can give you a duck leg. It's just a roast duck!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was like an old child, and he was smug when he spoke.

Wei Wu didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered someone to bring in the roast duck.

When I saw the shiny and fragrant roast duck in the eunuch's hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but blink his lips, and his eyes showed impatience.

However, just as he was expecting it, the eunuch delivered the roast duck to Wei Wu.

Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy about this, but before he could open his mouth, Wei Wu spoke first.

"Did the Queen ask you to bring me any message?"

"Yes, the Empress said it should be eaten while hot, and asked Master Wei to carry His Majesty on his back...to prevent it from being snatched away."

"What?? Our sister really said that?"

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and glared at the eunuch.

Stared at by Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, the eunuch quickly knelt down, frightened to the point of crying.

"Slave, this slave dares not lie to Your Majesty. The Empress did say so."

"Alright, alright, alright, get down now!"

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang would not make things difficult for the eunuch just for a word.

However, after learning the truth, he was indeed a little unhappy and sent the person away with a wave of his hand.

After the eunuch left the hall, Wei Wu suddenly tore off a duck leg and said in a mean way:

"Uncle Zhu, if you want to eat it, just tell me. At worst, I can give you a duck leg! It's just a roast duck!"

While speaking, Wei Wu deliberately raised his eyebrows and made a funny expression.

Seeing Wei Wu taking advantage of the situation and acting like a good boy, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry.

But then he narrowed his eyes and stretched out his big hand like lightning.

"Bring it to me, you little bastard!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Zhu, you have no moral principles. Why are you bringing a gun?"

"Stop talking nonsense and let the best take the place."

"I'm going to tell my aunt!"

"You go ahead! Leave the roast duck behind."

In the end, Wei Wu was no match for Zhu Yuanzhang and half of his roast duck was taken away from him.

After some playfulness, the two of them sat on the steps and ate duck like a father and son.

At the same time, in the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Zhu Biao had also finished listening to Mao Xiang and Shen Lin's retelling.

But unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao had no expression on his face throughout the whole process.

It felt like this matter had nothing to do with him and he was just an outsider.

Zhu Biao spoke slowly only after Mao Xiang finished speaking.

"I understand. Go back and report to my father!"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he was about to get up, but found that Mao Xiang was standing there motionless.

"Is there anything else you want to report?"

"No, but His Majesty has ordered me to stay here and be at your disposal."

After Mao Xiang finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Father, you underestimate me too much!

"Okay, you stay here. Wait until I've dealt with this matter and then you can go back and report back!"

After saying this, Zhu Biao directly ordered someone to summon the Crown Princess Lu, while he himself sat at his desk reviewing the memorials.

For a moment, the prince's study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

About half a cup of tea later, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Princess Lu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, slowly walked into the study.

"Your Highness, you sent for me to come here, but...what's the important matter?"

When she first entered the room, Mrs. Lu looked normal and there was nothing wrong with her expression.

It was not until she saw Mao Xiang and Shen Lin standing beside her that Mrs. Lu showed some change.

Mao Xiang was the sharpest knife in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand. Wherever he appeared, there would be trouble.

Looking at Mao Xiang's expressionless face, a strong sense of uneasiness spread from Lu's heart.

Mao Xiang was in the Crown Prince's study, and the Crown Prince had someone summon him. Could it be that...

While Lu was thinking about this, she saw Zhu Biao looking up at her.

"I believe I have treated you well. After Sister Chang passed away, I immediately promoted you to be my principal consort and showered you with favors."

"Xiong Ying has called you mother since childhood. As a mother, how could you be so cruel as to harm your own child with smallpox?"

When Zhu Biao spoke, there was no anger in his tone, as if he was just chatting casually.

But as Zhu Biao's wife, Lu knew very well that this meant that Zhu Biao was extremely angry.

But after Zhu Biao finished speaking, Lu did not admit it, but questioned it in a wronged manner.

"My dear husband, you and I have been married for many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"Ever since my sister passed away, I have always treated Xiongying like my own child, and Your Highness has seen it all!"

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could I possibly do such a cruel thing to my own child? And how can the horrific disease of smallpox be controlled by human power?"

As Mrs. Lu spoke, tears gradually accumulated in her eyes and then slid down from her eye sockets.

That extremely aggrieved look would easily make others feel distressed when seeing it.

Even when Shen Lin saw Lu's expression, he began to wonder if he had made a mistake.

But he was just a small figure, not even qualified to stand here, let alone speak.

Zhu Biao, who was truly qualified, just looked at Lu calmly, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

After Lu finished speaking, Zhu Biao spoke.

"You should be familiar with the name Fugui! He is the only person in the capital who was infected with smallpox."

"Although he is from Huzhou, his ancestral home is Fengyang. If I remember correctly, your ancestral home is also Fengyang."
