Zhu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt angry again.
Who is setting him up behind his back?
Damn, it’s so abominable!
But isn’t three days too short?
Zhu Jun bravely said: "Father, three days is too short, can you... give me more time?"
At this time, Xu Jinda also spoke for Zhu Jun: "Your Majesty, although King Wu is reckless, he will not do such an outrageous thing."
"Hmph, how can we not know what he looks like?" Zhu Yuanzhang pried the sword back, "Seven days, give him seven days at most!"
Zhu Jun sighed. Although there were only four more days, it was better than three days, right?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Miaojin, the coldness on his face faded away, and there was a warm smile, "Miaojin, you saved this bastard, tell us what reward you want!"
His words also made it clear that the Xu family had nothing to do with this matter.
However, Xu Miaojin did not think deeply and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I don't want any reward. Please take back the engagement between my daughter and the King of Wu!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile disappeared, "Is this the reward you want?"
Xu Jinda said in his heart, "You are so outrageous, who told you to say this? How can you make the final decision about your parents' orders or the matchmaker's words?"
"Dad, my daughter is really not worthy of His Highness King Wu..."
"Shut up!" Xu Jinda had never said harsh words to Xu Miaojin. At this time, he rushed in front of her and slapped Xu Miaojin on the face.
Snapped!
The crisp slap broke Xu Miaojin's heart.
She covered her face, not knowing what she had done wrong.
He glanced at Zhu Jun bitterly and ran away crying.
Xu Jinda was also extremely regretful, but he had no choice. He could break off the engagement at any time, but at this juncture, there were many doubts about King Wu's excavation of ancestral graves.
If Zhu Jun really went crazy and dug it out by himself, then forget it.
But isn't it?
That is to frame the prince, which is a serious crime of killing the family and annihilating the clan.
Zhu Yuanzhang is not a soft-hearted person.
Xu Miaojin broke off the engagement and was suspected of being blackmailed. Wasn't this causing trouble to herself?
"Miaojin, come back quickly!" Xu Jinda slapped his thigh angrily, and then complained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault that I have been arrogant about this girl since I was young..."
"You've struck too hard, she's our daughter-in-law, I'll feel bad if she's broken!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Your Miaojin is more than enough to match our evildoer. She has been wronged!"
Hearing this, Xu Jinda breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Yuanzhang was a smart man after all, and he did not suspect the Xu family because of this incident.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Tiande, we are brothers, and now we are in-laws!" Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hand, "Let's go back first. When you go back, don't scold Miaojin!
The child feels aggrieved, and we know that, in this matter, we are being selfish! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xu Jinda said respectfully: "I will take you back to the palace!"
With that said, the two left the prison.
Zhu Jun sat down on the ground. He really escaped from death this time. If he hadn't been quick to think, he would have been killed by Lao Zhu.
How cruel, my own son, I will chop him off whenever I say!
"Surviving a catastrophe will bring blessings later. When I prove my innocence, I will find a way to seize the vassal and become a local vassal king who is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away, and a dashing local emperor!"
Zhu Jun made up his mind. He is the third son, preceded by two older brothers.
The eldest brother Zhu Yu is the prince, with a great reputation!
The fourth brother, Zhu Di, was the King of Yan and had great military exploits!
He is just a lunatic and has no friends. If he has any friends, they are the other seven evils in the capital!
I no longer want the throne, and the emperor has been a short-lived profession since ancient times.
He was a doctor of archeology in his previous life, and he was not a destined emperor like Lao Zhu, nor a ruthless man like Emperor Yongle. He must stay away from Kyoto, a place of right and wrong.
After sitting on the ground for a while, thinking about the path he should take in the future, he was no longer confused.
Although he is not familiar with this strange parallel world, he can definitely live a good life in this world.
Self-rescue is only the first step.
The next step is to prove your innocence!
He got up from the ground and walked out of the sky prison. He saw the black-faced jailer who had just beaten him kneeling on the ground and trembling, "Wu, Your Highness King Wu, you, you, you... you deserve to die." , I beg His Highness King Wu to spare my life!"
The jailer was scared to death.
He has never met Zhu Jun, but he also knows the reputation of the eight evils in the capital.
Now not only will he be unlucky, but his family may also be affected.
Thinking of this, he kept kowtowing.
Zhu Jun was angry, but now his whole body hurt. If he walked out like this, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
He walked up to the jailer and punched the jailer in the face, "You punched me, and now I punch you back, so it's settled!"
The jailer looked at Zhu Jun blankly, feeling ecstatic in his heart, and immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, His Highness King Wu, for not killing me!"
Beating the prince is a capital offense.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jun just punched him lightly.
However, isn’t it said that King Wu was violent, insane and cruel?
Why is it different from the legend?
"Okay, stop kowtowing!"
Zhu Jun waved his hand and leaned against the wall of the prison, "Go prepare a sedan for me and take me home!"
The jailer kept nodding, "Yes, Your Highness, I will go and get ready now!"
Soon, the jailer brought a sedan. It was not big and it was a bit uncomfortable to sit on.
"Your Highness, King Wu, I have wronged you," the jailer said.
"Okay, take me back home quickly!"
Zhu Jun entered the sedan. There was not much space and it was a bit cramped, but at least he didn't have to walk by himself.
On the way, he kept thinking about how to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.
"It would be great if my eldest brother was in the capital, but it's a pity that he went to patrol the border on behalf of Tian, and I don't know when he will come back.
Otherwise, go find Fourth Brother? "
I know from my memory that the eldest brother was the best to me, and although the fourth brother was not very close, he was still okay.
Just as he was thinking about it, Prince Wu's Mansion arrived. Looking at the ruined Prince Wu's Mansion, Zhu Jun felt short of breath.
It has only been a few years since Daye established Yingtian Mansion as the capital, and even the city walls have not been built yet, let alone the residences of the princes.
It's okay to be a favored prince, but for someone like him who is not favored, loves to get into trouble, and is crazy, it would be nice to have his own mansion.
Several old-fashioned government soldiers were guarding the door, and when they saw Zhu Jun, their eyes were a little frightened.
"See Your Highness!"
Zhu Jun waved his hand, turned around and called out to the jailer who was trying to escape, "Who is that? I'm short of manpower now, so you can mess with me from now on!"
The jailer was in mourning, so he thought he could just send Zhu Jun to him.
But he didn't expect that he would join Prince Wu's Mansion himself.
He must want to slowly torture himself to death!
Zhu Jun didn't know what he was thinking. He was simply short of manpower.
It is definitely impossible to prove one's innocence with these old-fashioned government soldiers.
Entering the mansion, you can see mottled spots everywhere.
But among the mottled spots, there was a faint green shadow, walking hurriedly towards Zhu Jun.
"Your Highness, you are back!"
