After that, he briefly recounted what had happened from yesterday to today, of course, honestly omitting some of the less glorious things.

Suddenly I heard such a shocking piece of news.

Even the "female scholars" couldn't remain calm: "The Huaixi nobles? I thought they were just taking advantage of my father's death to coerce the new emperor into seizing the throne, that would have been fine, but I never imagined that they were so treasonous that they forced my father to fake his own death and escape!?"

Zhu Di nodded: "That's right."

"However, my king and Master Daoyan have analyzed the current situation today. Even though there's a mutiny in Yingtian Prefecture, it's a blessing that my father is still alive. Furthermore, this incident actually has more advantages than disadvantages for our original plan."

"My father has the means to ensure his own identity is proven. If he raises his hand, the situation in the world will naturally be much greater than if I, my second brother, and my third brother started a rebellion!"

"And the position that this king desires can also be legitimate."

Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun and said seriously and solemnly.

How clever was Xu Miaoyun? She nodded immediately, "I understand what Your Highness means. Leave the matter of rewarding the shops on North Street to me."

She grabbed the abacus from the table and was about to sit down.

But it seemed as if he had thought of something.

He raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Di and said, "Your Highness... Since our father is still alive, we still have someone to fight for, Huizu!"

"He is a stubborn person. He will recognize whoever is sitting in the Fengtian Hall. If it weren't for my father, he wouldn't be willing to stand with us even if he and I are both from the Xu family. But now that my father is still alive, Huizu, who inherited my father's title of Duke of Wei, can fight for it." Xu Miaoyun reminded.

Zhu Di's eyes flickered.

His expression brightened as he said, "For the past two days, I've only been thinking about my father's affairs. I didn't even think about this matter at all. It's all thanks to you, Miaoyun."

Xu Miaoyun smiled indifferently: "Since Your Majesty is so willing, Miaoyun will do her utmost to help."

There was a pause.

Zhu Di seemed to hesitate and said, "But this matter... there is still a difficulty."

Xu Miaoyun asked, "What's the difficulty?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you say a few days ago... that the Duke of Wei's Mansion had sent Miao Jin's birth date and horoscope to the palace? Huizu and Miao Jin are born of the same mother. If Miao Jin entered the palace, this matter would no longer be certain."

Hear this.

Xu Miaoyun's pretty face suddenly showed a trace of helplessness, and she smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about this."

"Miao Jin... that girl... she's got her own way. She's been under little discipline since she was little, so she's pretty headstrong. When she heard she was going to be sent to the palace, she refused no matter what and ran away. Her family could only report that she had a sudden illness and couldn't be chosen as a concubine... This plan couldn't be accomplished."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

The words that Monk Daoyan had said to him not long ago could not help but surface in his mind: [Perhaps this is the will of heaven. Your Highness is the chosen one, the Prince of Taiping…]

"Could it be that this is really God's will?" Zhu Di murmured, feeling somewhat proud.

"God's will? What is Your Highness talking about?" Xu Miaoyun asked, not understanding the meaning of Zhu Di's sudden muttering.

"nothing."

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for taking care of the rewards."

Xu Miaoyun smiled gently: "This is my duty, Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so kind..."

The next day.

Beiping Prefecture North Street.

This news fermented for a whole day. Not only did the people in the entire Beiping Prefecture know about it, but many people in the surrounding areas of Beiping Prefecture also knew about it: a great philanthropist appeared in Beiping Prefecture and produced a lot of cheap fabrics for sale.

As a result, more and more people came here to visit. Today, North Street is bustling with people coming and going, and it is almost impossible to get through.

Among them were poor people who were ragged and shivering.
