Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

In other words, he couldn't understand Yuan Gong's true meaning.

Yuan Gong's message can actually be summarized as, "I'm making progress, please don't disturb me"... However, Yuan Gong was planning to make progress secretly, so he certainly couldn't say it directly.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Seeing that Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's faces changed, the expressions of Qiu Fu and Monk Daoyan beside them also froze slightly. Even if they didn't know what was written in the letter, it was obviously not a good thing.

Zhu Di frowned and handed the information in his hand to the two of them.

Qiu Fu couldn't help himself and started cursing in frustration, "What the hell is going on? Closed again? It happened when we went to see His Royal Highness Prince Zhou before, and now it's happening with Mr. Yuan... Why do I feel like we're being targeted?"

"Does that old silver coin from Yingtian Prefecture know what we are going to do?"

Monk Daoyan sighed softly: "Targeted... probably not."

"We are in Peking, and Yuan Tingyu is in Zhejiang. No matter how powerful that person in Yingtian Prefecture is, he can't possibly know that he is related to us. Emperors throughout history have refined elixirs to seek immortality, so it's not surprising that such matters are closely guarded."

"Besides, if Yuan Tingyu was captured by them, the Huaixi nobles would have already arrived in Peking with their army, and we wouldn't be able to receive this letter."

Qiu Fu spread his hands and said, "We did it so secretly, of course there's no way Yingtian Prefecture would find out. I just said it in a fit of rage."

He didn't realize that his random complaints, to some extent, actually hit the nail on the head - Zhu Yunhuan really knew about their little tricks long ago and had made certain targeted moves.

Of course, the hospital was closed because Zhu Su had obtained a microscope and was a cautious person, so he wanted to show his loyalty.

The closed management of the Alchemy Bureau was purely because Zhu Yunhuan needed to keep it secret when he was planning to engage in chemical engineering. It was a sweeping move and was not intended to target anyone.

Even Zhu Yunhuan himself didn't realize who he was guarding against.

Zhu Di didn't think Zhu Yunhuan had discovered their operation. He nodded and said with some regret, "Master Daoyan is right. It's unlikely that they'll be discovered. But Mr. Yuan's connection... is indeed broken. Alas..."

After saying this, Zhu Di felt depressed.

Not only Zhu Di, but even monk Daoyan felt a little depressed.

Analyzing and considering it from all apparent angles, it didn't seem like the man from Yingtian Prefecture did it on purpose. But when you think about it carefully, it seems like he's really frustrated in everything he does, and everything he arranged gets intercepted by others - it's a depressing feeling, like floating in the air, with no outlet to vent.

They were silent for several breaths.

Monk Daoyan finally calmed down and took a deep breath. "It's over, so be it. However, according to the information in the letter, Yuan Tingyu has indeed been favored by the new emperor and taken into the palace, becoming close to him. While this thread can only be put aside for now, it doesn't mean it's completely ruined. Who knows what unexpected use it might have in the future."

"We have two things to do next. Since the first one cannot be done for the time being, let's focus on the second one." Monk Daoyan said.

He is very good at cultivating his qi, so his mentality is naturally calm and he will not indulge in negative emotions.

Zhu Di also suppressed his inner frustration and nodded with a slightly gloomy expression: "I will go directly to the private residence and inform my father of this matter."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode out the door.

The Prince of Yan's Mansion was not far from Zhu Yuanzhang's private residence. Soon, Zhu Di appeared in the private residence alone.

As soon as you enter the private residence, you can hear the music of stringed instruments, singing and laughter in the house, which is so decadent that if you don’t know, you might think that it is some playboy having fun inside.

Zhu Di was not surprised by this.

The news he'd received these days was this: his father was strolling around Peking, drinking tea, eating sunflower seeds, listening to music, and watching dances at home...

But because he was in the situation himself, Zhu Di couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

But now is not the time to worry about these things.

Zhu Di entered the house.

He walked straight towards the direction where the sound came from. Only Lu Wei knew Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, and Zhu Di was the Prince of Yan. Without special instructions, no one dared to stop him.

"This servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!"

As soon as Zhu Di appeared, all the noises in the hall stopped immediately, and everyone naturally saluted Zhu Di with fear and trepidation.

Zhu Yuanzhang lay on the couch with his legs bent.

He opened his eyes reluctantly, frowning slightly, as if there was a hint of displeasure in his expression: "Your Highness the Prince of Yan?" He had worked hard all his life, and now it was his turn to enjoy himself, and he was living happily.

Zhu Di, with his usual dignified expression, waved his hand to let the others leave. He then closed the door, put on a "good and obedient son" expression, and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I beg your forgiveness, father."

"I shouldn't bother you, Father, but I have some shocking news that I must share with you urgently."

"Shocking news?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand what his fourth son had come up with. The latest news was at most about the cloth business in various provinces, prefectures, states and counties in the north. There was no need to describe this news as "shocking", right?

Zhu Di nodded solemnly and seriously.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, originally, your son and I only thought that the hand stirring up trouble in Yingtian Prefecture was behind Lan Yu and other nobles from Huaixi, giving them advice. But your son has discovered that the hand is not actually behind the nobles from Huaixi, but..."

"Instead, he hides behind the new emperor and calls the shots!"
