Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"Of course I know what Master Daoyan said, but... but..." Zhu Di didn't dare to say what he was thinking directly. He was unwilling to accept even the lightest consequences.

"Now that things have happened, even if it seems there is no solution, we have to try our best. The most important thing you should do now is to calm yourself down and go to the Huang Mansion." Monk Daoyan did not say anything to comfort or console him, but gave his answer directly.

Then he looked at Zhu Di and explained seriously, "At least he is your biological father. Even if he is partial, he still loves you as his son... whether it's more or less, it's still there. At least you can't let the worst consequences happen now, right?"

"This prince...will I go see my father now?" Zhu Di's voice trembled slightly, and his face was full of resistance...

That living father, even if there was nothing wrong, he would still feel scared when he thought about meeting him.

Not to mention that he has probably already noticed his actions.

This is a natural blood suppression, and it was also the result of being beaten, scolded, and severely punished by Zhu Yuanzhang from childhood to adulthood.

When Zhu Di thought about having to face a father who might be furious, he really wanted to find a hole in the ground and disappear from this world.

Monk Daoyan tried his best to remain calm and said, "This is our current speculation, but we haven't confirmed it yet. Even if we can confirm that the letter was indeed sent by one of Your Majesty's men... does Your Majesty have any better ideas? I'm all ears."

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and replied directly: "No."

"If we can find out that the letter wasn't moved by my father's men, that would be the best. We can then investigate who did. Once we're certain that my father has seen the contents, I'll have to rely on my father's almost insignificant father-son affection and ask him not to spread this matter to Yingtian Prefecture."

Although Zhu Di felt a subconscious cramp in his calf, his mind was still clear and he knew that Monk Daoyan was thinking completely for him.

It is amazing to see that Zhu Di can still think clearly under such heavy pressure.

Monk Daoyan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha." Then he lowered his eyes slightly as usual and stopped talking.

Zhu Di fell silent with a solemn expression, and clenched his hands into fists on the desk. Because he clenched his fists too hard, the veins on the back of his hands were obviously bulging.

The air in the study was almost dead silent.

This went on for quite a while.

Zhu Di then suddenly stood up, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said in a deep voice: "Master Daoyan, please drink tea in the mansion. I will go there."

He looked at the closed door.

There was a determination in his eyes, as if he had already made a decision and was ready to face any storm...

Monk Daoyan raised his eyes and said, "Okay, I will wait for the prince."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di hurried out from behind the desk, walked straight past Monk Daoyan, and with a gust of wind, he opened the door and rushed out.

The heavy and hurried footsteps quickly faded away and soon disappeared completely.

The distance between Prince Yan's Mansion and the current Huang Mansion was not far. In addition, Zhu Di did not travel in a carriage as he did in the past to avoid being noticed. Instead, he directly led a red-maned horse and galloped away.

Soon, someone appeared at the door of "Huang Mansion".

After entering the mansion, he walked quickly, two steps at a time, towards the main courtyard until he was stopped by Zhao Feng's men. "Your Highness, Prince Yan, I apologize."

Zhu Di was naturally used to this and was not annoyed. He just looked serious and said politely, "I understand. Please let me know."

……

On the other side, in the main courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking pensive, staring at the letter in his hand that he had intercepted with great difficulty, studying it carefully.

Then I heard someone knocking on the door again.

He raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Let's take a look. Is there anything else?"

He knew his subordinates well and they were always cautious in their work, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Monk Daoyan's men would immediately discover that the letter had been read. He just thought that his subordinates had made other discoveries.

When Lu Wei returned, he said with a slightly strange look on his face, "Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan who wants to see you."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately showed surprise, and he raised an eyebrow and said, "Fourth Brother? Why did he suddenly come to see us? He just came here when we got the news. Didn't you deal with the tail of your subordinates?"

Lu Wei immediately explained, "Your Majesty, the men Commander Jiang has assigned to me are all elite members of the Jinyiwei secret service, and they are very experienced."

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to investigate further.

He waved his hand and said, "Since he's here, let him in. Let's see if this is a coincidence... or if this rebellious son noticed it immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Wei responded and then left the main courtyard.

The next person to come in had a slightly red face. Although he tried hard to hide it, Zhu Yuanzhang's experienced eyes could still see: "Although his face has calmed down, he is still very anxious."

"Obviously, they've noticed it, and they did it so quickly! That troublemaker monk... we really underestimated him. Even the Jinyiwei's methods weren't enough to hide it from him!"

"So..."

"It's even more bizarre if the little wolf cub knows what he's going to do!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang made his judgment, the curiosity and confusion he had before became more like a kitten scratching in his heart.

While thinking, Zhu Di came over and bowed awkwardly: "Son, I greet the Emperor..."
