The bright moon with a piece missing poked its head out, and the cold moonlight fell all over the ground, covering the ancient city of Nanjing and Shouning Palace.
In front of Shouning Palace, Princess Ningguo's bedroom, Han Cheng came here.
Before Han Cheng could get too close, Xiao He's figure had already appeared and bowed to Han Cheng.
From this, we can see that Xiao He, Princess Ning Guo's personal maid, is really considerate.
Now, when Han Cheng enters Princess Ningguo's palace during the day, Xiao He will never stop him.
But it really doesn't work at night.
There must be no breakthrough in this line of defense.
Again, etiquette cannot be abolished. Before the prince and princess get married, there are some things that must be kept.
If that doesn't work, then go after her!
Xiao He had known for a long time that, based on how much the young master valued the princess, he would definitely come to see the princess after His Majesty and His Highness left.
So I waited here early.
"Xiaohe, where is Yourong? Are you sleeping?"
Han Cheng asked Xiao He not to be so polite and looked at Xiao He and said this.
"Your Highness Princess, she..."
As soon as Xiao He finished speaking, he heard a slight creaking sound from behind, and the closed door was opened.
"Mr. Han, I haven't gone to bed yet. It's still very early. How can I go to bed so early?"
Princess Ning Guo's voice sounded, and she appeared at the door of the palace in a wheelchair.
Han Cheng looked over and saw a sweet smile on Princess Ning Guo's beautiful face.
Princess Ning Guo was extremely beautiful, and she dressed up carefully for this dinner with Han Cheng.
At this time, under the swaying lights and dim moonlight, it looked particularly moving.
Xiaohe's unfinished words were all stuck in his throat and unable to be uttered.
A face with some baby fat was squeezed together and wrinkled into a bun.
Princess, can't we... be a little more reserved?
You were not like this in the past!
Why has everything changed now that I have met the young master?
When Han Cheng saw Princess Ning Guo appearing, he also had a smile on his face.
Taking two steps forward, he walked naturally behind Princess Ning Guo and held the handle of the wheelchair.
"Are you hungry? Come on, let's go eat."
Han Cheng sounded with some concern.
"Ah?" Princess Ning Guo made a voice full of surprise.
"Is there still food? After my father came here, there is still food?"
Zhu Yourong knew his father very well.
I really don’t want to waste food.
Generally, when eating, one should pay attention to not leaving a drop.
Today, my father and his eldest brother came to have a meal. Mr. Han actually had food there?
I also took a look at the meal Mr. Han prepared today.
It's more than enough for two of us.
It is enough to eat with Xiaohe.
Obviously Mr. Han deliberately made the portion larger.
But my father has a big appetite. Although my eldest brother's appetite is not as big as my father's, he is still a man after all.
No matter how small your appetite is, it can't be that small.
At least it can definitely be eaten better than mine.
If the three grown men eat the meal prepared by Young Master Han, there will definitely be nothing left over.
Now, Mr. Han actually said that there is still some left?
is this real?
Seeing his young wife's surprised look and hearing what she said, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile.
My little wife knows her father Zhu Yuanzhang really well!
"Of course!"
Han Cheng said with a smile.
There really is?
Not eaten?
When did my father change his temper?
Princess Ningguo wondered for a moment whether she was hearing hallucinations.
Is this really the father?
"I secretly cut the mutton, marinated it, and hid it without His Majesty noticing."
Han Cheng smiled and said the backup plan he had prepared.
So that’s it!
Princess Ningguo suddenly became enlightened.
Let's just say, how could my father change his temper?
It turns out that Mr. Han made some arrangements in advance!
After a sudden realization, he had some doubts: "Mr. Han, did you... have you expected that your father would come?"
Han Cheng said: "It doesn't matter. Originally, these muttons were prepared to be roasted and eaten at night, as a supplement after the main meal.
While I was cooking, I suddenly felt a sense of crisis, thinking that my father should not come over at this time.
If that's the case, that's not good.
So I put the mutton away.
Who would have thought that my father would actually come over. "
Han Cheng became proud as he said this.
"Fortunately, I saved some money in advance. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to treat Yourong to a meal tonight."
"If you can't eat tonight, you won't be able to eat tomorrow night either..." Princess Ningguo said subconsciously.
Before he finished speaking, he stopped quickly.
"You...who do you care about calling me father?"
When she was with Han Cheng, Princess Ningguo's reactions were often a little slow.
Only then did he realize that while Han Cheng was speaking, he had unknowingly changed the title of his father from "His Majesty" to "Father".
How could Mr. Han do this? He... is so bold!
"That's Your Majesty. He is your father. If not, he is my father."
Han Cheng looked matter-of-fact.
"Young Master Han...can't be called this. It would be bad if...it would reach my father's ears..."
Princess Ningguo blushed and corrected Han Cheng with some trepidation, expressing her concerns.
Han Cheng called Zhu Biao his eldest brother and Zhu Di his fourth brother. Although Zhu Yourong was shy, he could accept it.
But now, Zhu Yourong really couldn't accept calling her father "Father".
After all, this is the father, her biological father, and the meaning is really different.
"You said this, you don't have to worry about this. Even if it reaches the ears of father, there will be no problem."
Is there no problem if it reaches the ears of the father? How could there be no problem!
My father is very concerned about some things!
Princess Ning Guo was anxious and prepared to talk to Han Cheng a few more words to remind Mr. Han to make Han Cheng realize the seriousness of this matter.
As a result, before she could speak, she heard Han Cheng continue: "Not long ago, I called him father in front of my father and eldest brother, and my father did not refuse and was not angry..."
What? !
When Princess Ning Guo reached her lips, she couldn't speak anymore.
A pair of cute almond eyes suddenly widened, like copper bells.
What did you hear?
Mr. Han has actually called his father the emperor?
Or were you shouting in front of your father and eldest brother?
Your father hasn’t objected yet? ?
this……
Princess Ningguo felt huge waves in her heart.
Everyone was stunned by Han Cheng's operation.
Not only was he shocked by Mr. Han's boldness, but also shocked that his father was not angry, so he accepted the title.
Is this really his father?
Is what Mr. Han said true?
Are you lying to yourself?
Question marks kept popping up in Princess Ning Guo's head.
At this time, not only Princess Ning Guo was confused, but Xiao He next to her was also shocked and didn't know what to say.
The mouth can be opened wide enough to stuff an egg into it.
"Mr. Han, this...is this true?"
Princess Ning Guo looked at Han Cheng, her voice stuttering.
With some disbelief.
Han Cheng nodded and said, "How can it be false? I won't lie to you, Yourong, if I lie to anyone."
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Princess Ningguo thought about it again and felt that what Han Cheng said was indeed right.
Mr. Han really won’t lie to himself!
In this way, then...are these all true?
Did Mr. Han really say this in front of his father?
Ah ho ho, so shameful!
Seeing his little wife's reaction, Han Cheng thought about it and decided to add some more excitement to her.
"Yourong, today I not only called my father my father, but I also told him about our marriage.
My father has promised that we will get married within a year. "
Princess Ning Guo had just recovered a little from the shock of the first thing, when she heard what Han Cheng said, and she suddenly fell into a daze again.
The impact of these words is much greater than what I just said!
Although Princess Ningguo had already accepted Han Cheng and agreed with her marriage contract, she fantasized about many things in her heart.
But at this time, Han Cheng suddenly heard that he had discussed the engagement between the two of them with his father in person.
He also set the wedding date within a year, but he was still confused.
This... is Mr. Han too bold? !
Even before this, she knew that Mr. Han was very courageous, and she had personally experienced it many times.
But at this time, after learning about this matter, I was once again shocked by Han Cheng's boldness!
At this moment, she really wanted to touch him and see how brave Mr. Han was!
How dare you tell your father about this in person!
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Young Master Han actually accomplished this matter!
This... what did Young Master Han talk about when he and his father were together!
Han Cheng looked at Princess Ning Guo, who was stunned by shock, and then looked at the absolutely beautiful face with a hint of cuteness, and suddenly became satisfied.
The reaction of his young wife was exactly what he thought, and it satisfied his psychological expectations.
After Princess Ning Guo was shocked, she immediately thought of another thing - she was about to discuss marriage with Mr. Han so soon?
The two of you are going to get married within a year?
Isn't this... too fast?
She is not mentally prepared for this yet!
For a moment, I was shocked, surprised, and shy, not to mention how complicated my mood was.
Han Cheng waited for a while and saw that Princess Ningguo had not recovered yet.
He waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"Yourong, are you so happy? In less than a year, we can get married, live together openly, and stay together forever."
"Happy...ah, no, I...no!"
Princess Ning Guo subconsciously nodded in agreement with Han Cheng's words.
As a result, before he finished speaking, he reacted again and began to deny it again and again.
But her face had already turned red, and under the moonlight, it looked like a blooming peach blossom.
[Princess Ningguo learned that you personally discussed the wedding date with her father, and that her father had promised to get you two married within one year. She was extremely excited and very sweet, and her lover points +100.
Hundred times points are in effect, lover points +10000.
Current lover points are 82,000
Favorability +0.5, current favorability is 63.5]
Han Cheng looked at the prompts that appeared on the lover system, then looked at Princess Ning Guo's appearance, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
My little wife is so funny.
Han Chengdu has already begun to imagine the beautiful life after getting married.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the door of Princess Ningguo's palace became a little different.
It seemed that even the air had turned a light pink.
"Yourong, let's go. I'll treat you to something delicious and show you my craftsmanship again."
Han Cheng said with a smile on his face as he looked at Princess Ning Guo.
Princess Ning Guo had recovered from her shyness and shock. She nodded and said, "Okay, I happen to be hungry too."
Xiao He, who was beside him, was stunned when he heard what Princess Ning Guo said.
Others don't know it, but she knows it very clearly.
After some careful grooming and dressing up, she learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor had come to Mr. Han's place and even ate them directly. The princess knew that her meeting with Mr. Han tonight was nothing. .
At least the food Mr. Han carefully prepared cannot be saved.
Not to mention the loss in my heart.
After some discomfort, he asked himself to bring her food from somewhere else.
On weekdays, the princess's appetite is not too large.
Tonight, it is really not a coincidence that the Emperor comes here.
Her Royal Highness came directly to turn depression and loss into appetite.
Not to mention the other dishes, I ate two big bowls of just rice.
Not long ago, she said it was uncomfortable, so she asked herself to help rub it.
Why are you hungry again now?
Your Highness, please be a little more reserved, okay?
"At this time, it's quite early, so it's good to have something for a midnight snack."
Princess Ning Guo added again.
Xiaohe looked at her princess who was speaking seriously, and then looked at the sky.
Becoming more stunned.
Is this called "It's still early?"
It's not too early at all.
Is this what a woman looks like when she has a sweetheart?
Even a person like the princess can tell lies with her eyes wide open and lie seriously.
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess has said so, so naturally she won't talk too much.
Soon, Han Chenggong pushed Princess Ningguo to the entrance of the side hall.
He quickly got some green bricks and set up a simple barbecue grill on the ground.
And put the lit charcoal blocks into the simple barbecue grill.
Then he brought out a small square table from the house and brought out half a basin of dressed mutton and a few vegetables.
Pick up the threaded skewers, place them on the grill and start grilling.
The movements are very skillful.
Soon, the smoke of fireworks rose here.
Princess Ningguo looked at Han Cheng who was busy here and was a little crazy for a while.
What a blessing you are! Only then can I meet Mr. Han.
Let God send you such a wishful husband!
The more she thought about it, the happier Princess Ning Guo felt.
After some barbecue, the meat is already cooked.
Han Cheng brushed on some of the sauce he made, and twenty mutton skewers were already grilled.
The air is filled with the smell of barbecue.
"How about you give it a try."
"Xiaohe didn't taste it either."
Han Cheng put most of them on the plate, picked up four skewers, handed two skewers to Princess Ningguo, and handed the other two to Xiao He.
Princess Ningguo reached out and took it.
However, Xiao He waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she was not hungry and that this was against the rules.
Han Cheng heard this and said: "It's nothing, it's not a formal occasion, just take it and eat it.
This stuff is freshly baked and delicious. "
Xiaohe still didn't answer, feeling moved and anxious at the same time.
Princess Ning Guo said: "Xiao He, since Mr. Han gave it to you, just take it.
No need to be so polite. "
Princess Ning Guo spoke, and Xiao He took the mutton skewers from Han Cheng.
I took it but didn't eat it.
This is the rule.
She is a servant. How can a servant follow the master when he eats?
"Xiao He, just eat, don't be stunned, there are no outsiders here."
As Han Cheng said this, he picked up a mutton skewer from the plate on the side and started eating it.
Although the seasoning is not as rich as later generations, the best thing is that the mutton is really authentic.
When you eat it, it tastes very good.
The level is quite good!
At this time, Princess Ningguo also ate the mutton skewers grilled by Han Cheng, and the taste exceeded her psychological expectations.
Feeling the wonderful taste of mutton skewers, Princess Ningguo felt a deep happiness in her heart.
[Princess Ningguo ate the mutton skewers you grilled yourself, and her heart was very sweet. Her lover points +5. The hundredfold points are in effect. Her lover points +500. The current lover points are 82,500.
Favorability +0.5, current favorability is 64]
The news coming from the lover system showed that Princess Ning Guo was in a wonderful mood at this time.
"Xiao He, you go ahead and eat. If I give it to you, you can eat it. Don't be too formal.
There are just a few of us, and there are no outsiders, so there is no need to be too particular about the rules for outsiders to see at this time. "
Princess Ning Guo also looked at Xiao He and began to persuade.
Xiaohe hesitated for a moment, then picked up a skewer of mutton, brought it to his mouth, gently picked off a piece of mutton from the top, and chewed it in his mouth.
As soon as this piece of mutton entered her mouth, Xiaohe's eyes became moist.
After chewing twice, two lines of hot tears rolled down.
Panicked, she quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
As a result, the tears became more abundant the more I wiped them away.
This mutton kebab is the most delicious food she has ever eaten!
There are so many servants in the palace, and I am afraid that none of them can be treated like me.
How lucky I am to have met a princess who treats me as my sister, and to have met such a consort like Mr. Han! !
Next, Han Cheng started baking some other things.
While roasting and eating, I chatted with Princess Ningguo under the moon.
The dinner originally scheduled between Han Cheng and Princess Ningguo was disrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But it was precisely because of Zhu Yuanzhang's disruption that this unique nighttime gathering took place.
After August 15th, it doesn’t get hot at night, especially in the yard.
The night is as cool as water, the moonlight covers the earth, and there are insects singing softly at the grass roots in the corner.
From time to time, one or two fireflies will appear, flashing in the night sky, flying high and low.
The aroma of barbecue fills the quiet night.
The two hearts are also constantly getting closer during this night...
The autumn light of the silver candle paints the screen coldly, and the light fan flutters at the flowing fireflies.
The sky is as cold as water at night, and I lie down to watch Altair and Vega.
…
The leisurely, warm and sweet time belongs to Han Cheng and Princess Ning Guo, but it does not belong to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"What happened?"
Seeing the eunuch coming in a hurry, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and asked.
"Reporting to the superior, it was the people sent by King Yan who came to see me late at night, saying that they had something urgent to report to the superior."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel his heart sinking when he heard that it was about Lao Si.
He didn't ask what happened, he just said: "Let the fourth man come over!"
The voice was calm and sounded no different from before.
Along the way, he has experienced too many things, no matter how dangerous they are, and has passed by death several times.
Therefore, I have long cultivated my character of calmness in times of crisis.
The more dangerous it is, the less afraid it is, and the stronger the enemy, the more diligent he is.
Never bow your head along the way, crushing every difficulty and seemingly formidable enemy!
After a while, someone led by the eunuch came all the way to Wuying Palace.
"Qiu Fu, a thousand households in Prince Yan's Mansion, pays homage to the Holy One and greets the Holy One."
"Greetings to Prince Chitose."
After the visitor arrived at Wuying Hall, he did not dare to show any slightness. He knelt down and saluted immediately, without even daring to raise his head or breathe.
Very respectful.
Not to mention Qiu Fu, who was just a member of the Yan Palace, even if Hu Weiyong, the eternal fierce man, was not dead, he would not dare to be disrespectful at all when facing Zhu Yuanzhang.
People like Han Cheng are still in the minority after all, and can only be called aliens.
It turns out that the person in front of me is Qiu Fu!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were shocked when they heard this.
They had heard the name Qiu Fu from Han Cheng several times before.
In the war about the future that Han Cheng told about that lasted for several years, Qiu Fu did a lot of things.
He is known as the first minister of peace in Fengtian.
In addition, in the later battles with the northern barbarians, Qiu Fu also led his troops and was careless, which resulted in the death of many soldiers of the Yongle Dynasty.
Lao Si personally led the army, and the Northern Expeditions also started with Qiu Fu's defeat and death.
"Get up and talk. What's going on? The fourth child sent you back in the middle of the night?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said this after glancing at Qiu Fu for a few times.
Qiu Fu hurriedly thanked him, stood up, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then quickly lowered his eyes.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, something happened at Longjiang Bao Shipyard.
Li Shun is dead when the treasure ship is lifted! "
Qiu Fu did not dare to neglect and told the news that made him feel extremely heavy.
"The hole in the treasure ship is particularly big? Are all the clues on Li Shun?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's unusually calm voice sounded.
But hearing his calm voice gave Qiu Fu goosebumps all over his body!
"Your Majesty, you are right, the hole in Longjiang Bao Shipyard is really big.
Just out of the two thousand large-scale ships that were built, there were fourteen ships missing!
The wood in the warehouse, as well as various other things, are not of the right size.
Although it has not been thoroughly investigated yet, the only ones that have been found, not to mention the fourteen large ships, and the rest of the losses, converted into money, are a full 300,000 yuan..."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, but Qiu Fu clearly felt that the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a lot at this time.
He did not dare to neglect, took a breath and continued: "Everything points to Li Shun.
But it is obvious that such a big thing is not something Li Shun can do.
But the rest of the people at Longjiang Bao Shipyard had no idea who the people behind were.
Li Shun was also bitten to death. He did it alone.
His Highness used some means to interrogate Li Shun.
Li Shun just didn't talk about it.
Behind... If you don't pay attention later, Li Shun will die..."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked King Yan to make a surprise attack on Longjiang Bao Shipyard this time in order to catch Wu Liang and others by surprise.
In order to better grasp the evidence of Wu Liang, Wu Zhen and others, they can take action against the two brothers.
As a result, now, just as the evidence was about to be grasped, the most critical person, Li Shun, suddenly died!
"Why was the fourth child so careless? How did Li Shun die?!"
Zhu Biao held back his voice and asked, his face also looking ugly.
"Dead by poisoning.
But... all Li Shun's drinking water has been carefully checked to ensure that there will be no problems.
Even the drowning tools that Chu Gong wore were made by reliable hands, ensuring that there would be no mistakes in every place.
In the end, Li Shun was...poisoned and died. "
"It means that everyone is dead, but you still don't know how people are killed by others?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was no longer so calm.
Qiu Fu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt down again in an instant.
"Reply to your Majesty, it is true that... we have not found it, but there are still many people who are doing their best to investigate..."
Qiu Fu stuttered when he spoke.
Just when Qiu Fu was ready to face the emperor's rage, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down again.
Wuying Palace fell into silence, but Qiu Fu's cold sweat continued to break out.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, they gathered together and dropped down along the chin.
"Okay, we know this. You go back and tell the fourth child that if Li Shun dies, he will die, and he can do whatever he wants.
Dog thief! The bullying is on us! "
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked Qiu Fu to leave.
Qiu Fu bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and left.
In fact, he wanted to know what the emperor was going to do if such a big thing happened.
This way he can reply easily when he goes back to see King Yan.
But now the emperor obviously doesn't want to say more about this matter, so he definitely doesn't dare to ask more.
But he knew that according to His Majesty's temperament, many people would definitely be unlucky next!
When he walked out of Wuying Hall, he felt chilled by the autumn wind outside. Qiu Fu shivered violently.
It turned out that before he knew it, he was already soaked from head to toe!
Qiu Fu left the palace under the leadership of Saber and eunuchs.
Not only did he not feel scared about what His Majesty was going to do next, but he was also full of expectations.
Those thieves killed Li Shun directly, and the first thing they hit was His Highness Prince Yan’s face, the face of their Prince Yan’s Mansion!
Under such circumstances, how could Qiu Fu endure such a tone?
It's better to kill someone with a rolling head!
Kill all the demons and demons behind you!
…
"Biao'er, what's going on with the Chaohu Navy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked.
Even at this time, with only the father and son left, the atmosphere in Yingwu Palace still seemed depressing.
"Father, I have received a letter from Fei Ge.
The Chaohu Navy expressed its willingness to be loyal to the boy. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, not surprised by this result.
"You will send an order to the Chaohu Navy in a moment, instructing them to proceed along the coastal road immediately in the name of escorting grain and grass to the north to support Tiande and others in destroying the three Jurchen Tatars.
Target, the navy on Chongming Island!
Next, we must block all the Japanese naval forces on Chongming Island and prevent them from going to sea! "
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement.
But then, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some worry and said, "Father, are you preparing to be tough on Wu Zhen and Wu Liang?
But... there are some things that they know were done by them, but without evidence, it would be difficult to convince the public if Father took action against them.
It will definitely cause a lot of trouble. "
This is what Zhu Biao is most worried about.
This is also the reason why Wu Liang and others dare to attack Li Shun at this time.
Relying on the status of Wu Zhen and Wu Liang brothers, as long as there is no definite evidence, even if they know that Li Shun was killed by them, it will be difficult for the father to convict them.
Father, now, is obviously angered by the other party's methods.
At this time, it is easy to cause a backlash by being direct and forceful.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and said: "Biao'er, you don't have to worry about this. Evidence is needed to investigate them, but not to counter the rebellion. Just suspicion is enough."
Zhu Biao was shocked: "Father, haven't they rebelled yet?"
"They rebelled immediately!"
In the night, Zhu Yuanzhang's calm voice contained the overwhelming smell of blood!
