Zhu Yuanzhang, who commanded the wind and rain, lived a long and arduous life.

the other side.

As soon as Zhu Biao stepped into the East Palace, Lady Lü, who had been waiting there all night, quickly came over with Zhu Yunwen.

"My husband, how is my father...?"

Lady Lü asked quickly.

Beside him, Zhu Yunwen also asked a question.

"Yes, Father, how is Grandpa?"

Ultimately, he was raised by Lady Lü, so Zhu Yunwen's heart was always with Lady Lü.

Zhu Biao glanced at the two of them, and instead of answering, asked, "You and your son waited all night?"

Lady Lü nodded: "This matter is of great importance, and I am unable to eat or sleep in peace."

She did this to show Zhu Biao.

Let Zhu Biao know that Lü Ben is important to both her and Yunwen.

They would be more willing to plead with the old man.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao sighed and said, "I'm sure you've put your heart into this. I'm sure your father-in-law would be proud to have such a daughter and grandson."

"The verdict regarding my father-in-law has also been handed down."

Lady Lü quickly perked up: "What...what is it?"

She was a little scared.

He was afraid to hear his father's name; it meant losing his head.

"My father-in-law has been dismissed from his post and is to be allowed to retire and live out his days in peace."

Zhu Biao spoke slowly.

As soon as this word comes out,

Lady Lü's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.

"Thank you, Father Emperor. Thank you for your mercy towards my father."

She kept thanking them.

Zhu Biao chuckled, helped Madam Lü inside, and continued to comfort her along the way.

When Zhu Biao went to wash up, leaving only Madam Lü and her son, Madam Lü's eyes were filled with a deep gloom.

"Son."

Lady Lü spoke.

Zhu Yunwen walked over: "Mother, what's wrong?"

"What did you learn from your grandfather's matter?"

“Grandpa, I can tell that the immortal at the Cloud Temple that day has real skills; he can make it rain when he says so.”

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were filled with deep jealousy.

Why!

Why would such a powerful immortal only help the eldest brother, Zhu Xiong Ying, and not him?

In what way is he inferior to the boss?

"Besides immortals, who else?"

Lady Lü asked again.

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback, and then shook his head blankly.

Lady Lü sighed, “Your imperial grandfather is constantly driving away the political resources of our lineage.”

"Your maternal grandfather was expelled from the center of power because of this."

"Before Xiong Ying died a while ago, your maternal grandfather's cousin, Marquis Zhou Dexing of Jiangxia, was also sent back to Fengyang, Huizhou from the imperial court."

Zhou Dexing is no ordinary person.

His ancestral home was also in Fengyang Prefecture, Huizhou. Zhou Dexing was also Zhu Yuanzhang's childhood playmate and was one of the first to follow Zhu Yuanzhang in conquering the world. Later, he introduced his cousin, Lu Ben, the father of Lu, to join Zhu Yuanzhang.

Therefore, according to seniority, Zhou Dexing was Lu Shi's younger brother-in-law and Zhu Yunwen's younger uncle.

Over the years, it was Marquis Zhou Dexing of Jiangxia who was devising strategies for Zhu Yunwen and his mother.

The reason why Lady Lü was able to be promoted from a concubine to the Crown Princess was because Zhou Dexing devised a plan behind the scenes. He understood Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, catered to his preferences, and let Zhu Yuanzhang see Lady Lü's virtues, which ultimately led to her being promoted to the position of Crown Princess.

However, before Xiong Ying died, he was transferred to his hometown of Fengyang by the old man.

Previously, Madam Lü hadn't paid much attention, thinking that the old man wanted to give his younger brother-in-law some peace and quiet because Zhou Dexing was getting old.

But now that her father, Lü Ben, has also lost power, she realizes that things are not as simple as she thought.

The old man is most likely... shorting her lineage! Paving the way for Zhu Xiong Ying!!

"Mother, are you saying... that Grandfather will also deal with my uncles and aunts next?"

Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said.

Lady Lü sighed and nodded: "I'm afraid so."

"Hehe, your royal grandfather is really cautious."

“He himself can stay in that position for at least another ten years or so, then it will be your father’s turn, and then it will be your and Xiong Ying’s lineage.”

"The journey will take at least twenty years, and your royal grandfather has already begun to consider these things, driving our people out and paving a broad road for Xiong Ying."

"What!" Zhu Yunwen's eyes were filled with anger: "Grandfather, you shouldn't have done this, it's not fair!"

He wasn't so enthusiastic about the eldest grandson of the emperor before, but after serving as the eldest grandson for a few days, he became extremely obsessed with that position.

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if you're always in darkness, but if you have a few days of light and then go back to darkness, you'll desperately want to have light again.

"Fairness? That position originally belonged to U.A. High School, so how can it be considered fair?"

"Mother is simply marveling at your grandfather's foresight."

Lady Lü kept shaking her head.

Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth: "Mother, you said it yourself, no one knows the outcome until the very last moment."

"The boss is in that position now, but that doesn't mean it will be in the future! How... can we stop Grandpa Emperor?"

Lady Lü bent down and stroked Zhu Yunwen's head, smiling as she said, "My son, you're too ambitious these days. You need to control yourself."

“My daughter and I can’t do anything right now.”

"While the old man is doing these things, there must be Imperial Guards watching us in the shadows."

Ms. Lü studied Zhu Yuanzhang her entire life and knew his personality very well.

The old man was an extremely cautious person, and there must be Imperial Guards watching her and her daughter right now. If they did anything wrong, the Imperial Guards would report it.

Even if the old man finds out, he probably won't do anything to the mother and daughter because he values ​​family ties, but he'll definitely feel some resentment!

Once the old man dislikes someone, his hatred becomes uncontrollable.

That future is terrifying.

"Like you said, opportunities have to be waited for. Are we... do we just have to keep waiting?"

Zhu Yunwen continued to grit his teeth; he was about to reach his limit.

Madam Lü sneered, "My son, this time we can't hold back anymore. If we do, your imperial grandfather will wipe out all our fangs."

"Don't worry, your mother has been in this deep palace for so many years. She rose from a concubine to the empress. It wasn't just by pretending to be simple for the old man's sake."

Within the deep confines of the palace, mere cunning and skill are far from sufficient.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen's obedient and humble face, Madam Lü smiled indulgently and said, "Child, your mother is here for you. Don't be afraid. Go and cook a bowl of longevity noodles. When your father comes out of his bath, go and offer it to him!"

"Then cook a bowl for your royal grandfather. He usually deals with government affairs very late, and he is probably not asleep at this time. Just say it's to thank your royal grandfather for letting your maternal grandfather off the hook."

"Your grandfather was the most ruthless and merciless man in his life. He killed countless people, whether they were fellow villagers or childhood friends, but he never laid a hand on his family."

"Since he likes filial children, then you should show him enough!"

Zhu Yunwen said tremblingly, "But... Mother, I... I don't know how to cook noodles..."

“I cooked for you once before when your birthday was approaching, and you said it tasted terrible.”
