Zhu Yunhuan usually stayed in his own courtyard and went to school at most. Not only had the court officials hardly ever seen him, even many of the Huaixi nobles who were related to him could not remember what he looked like.

of course.

Most of the court officials did not know him.

After all, there are still people who know him.

"Zhu...Zhu Yunxun!?"

"Zhu Yunxun! Beside the dragon throne, above the imperial palace, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could stand there in the past. Later, His Majesty granted this honor only to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. How could you possibly stand here!?"

In the silence, astonishment and deathly stillness of the Fengtian Hall.

There was a stern rebuke.

Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw Huang Zicheng, a short and fat man wearing a green robe, with a changed expression.

They are both talented and learned people in the Hanlin Academy.

Like Liu Sanwu, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai also took on the task of teaching young princes and grandchildren in the main hall.

Even if others don’t know Zhu Yunhuan, he definitely knows him.

In terms of identity, Zhu Yunhuan was the legitimate son born to the former Crown Princess. Like the current Crown Princess Lu, Huang Zicheng was extremely wary of Zhu Yunhuan.

At this time, Zhu Yunhuan was actually standing where the Second Prince should be.

Huang Zicheng was immediately furious!

Qi Tai, who was standing next to him, also had a cold look on his face: "How can this be possible!"

Hearing the voices of Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, everyone in the Fengtian Hall couldn't help but look thoughtful.

After a moment, he realized it and widened his eyes.

They all exclaimed in amazement: "Zhu Yunxun... who is this? The Third Prince of the Eastern Palace!?"

"His Majesty the Third Prince of the Eastern Palace!?"

"That prince is not..."

Everyone looked shocked and incredulous, and subconsciously almost brought out the whispers they had been having about Zhu Yunhuan in private.

He just looked up at Zhu Yunhuan who was standing on the imperial carriage.

The words suddenly became unspeakable.

They could only discuss in low voices:

"This Third Prince...seems a little different from what was rumored."

"Why is the Third Prince coming to court? What's going on?"

"Hasn't it always been the Second Prince? Oh, right, not only did His Majesty not show up today, but the Second Prince didn't show up either!"

"..."

When they learned that the person standing on the imperial carriage was Zhu Yunhuan, everyone was stunned and looked at each other, with even more doubts in their hearts.

Some people also noticed that Zhu Yunwen did not show up.

Some others have obviously noticed that the appearance of the Third Prince here may be related to His Majesty's lateness for the morning court today!

"May I ask Your Highness the Third Prince?"

"Your Majesty did not appear in court today. Why is that?"

"..."

Suddenly, the Fengtian Hall became noisy.

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai exchanged glances, and had a bad feeling in their hearts - the high-spirited Huaixi generals, the emperor who was late for the early court, the second prince who did not show up, and Zhu Yunhuan who suddenly appeared in the Fengtian Hall - although they could not figure it out at once, they always felt that they had grasped something.

Just when the two were in doubt.

Zhu Yunhuan's voice rang out, gentle yet tinged with a hint of sorrow: "Grandpa Emperor... has passed away..."

"Wow—"

As soon as these words came out.

The entire Fengtian Hall was in an uproar.

In addition to the Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu, there were also Liu Sanwu, Zhan Hui, and Fu Youwen. All of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces and their eyes widened in shock.

No one would doubt the authenticity of this matter.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not passed away, and Zhu Yunhuan said something like "Your Majesty has passed away" in the Fengtian Hall, wouldn't he be seeking death?

Then, there was complete silence...

Things have changed!

The Ming Dynasty is about to change! ?

Sudden news.

It was like a thunderclap, hitting everyone on the forehead.

Many were at a loss. His Majesty had passed away, but there had been no clear decree appointing a new crown prince. Would it be the Prince of Sai, who was away on the mainland? Or the currently powerful Second Prince of the Eastern Palace? What lay ahead for the Ming Dynasty? And what would become of them?
