"Are you really that thirsty? Or do you have some serious illness? You haven't stopped drinking since you came in..."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still thinking deeply about what Chu Ze said just now, heard the sound of Chu Ze pouring water in his ears, and he muttered impatiently.
When he looked up, he saw Chu Ze raising his tea cup again and wanting to drink water.
Lao Zhu was so angry that he snatched the tea cup from his hand, then raised his head and drank the tea in the cup.
Chu Zeren was immediately dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
"Your Majesty, that...that..."
"What's that? What's wrong? Can't we drink?"
"No, I mean, I have used that cup..."
"I'll just give it back to you."
....
Looking at the teacup that Lao Zhu threw back, Chu Ze's mouth twitched slightly, and then he put the teacup in his hand on the table in front of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who finally calmed down, finally sighed deeply.
"Actually, we don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately! But you have to know, in your words, we started with a bowl and started from scratch. Although the process seems glorious, in fact, those around us are all reckless."
"Many of them have read very few books, and their brains are not bright enough. Fortunately, during the war, they were all thinking about how to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, how to destroy the enemy, and train the army."
"But now in the Taiping era, the shortcomings of these people have emerged. They are arrogant and unreasonable. Arrogant soldiers and strong generals are the most uncontrollable!"
"Especially those who think they have some merits and always feel that they have done something bad or made some mistakes. We will not blame them. After all, what happened to them back then..."
"Even though we have given repeated warnings, these people still refuse to obey the discipline. In many cases, it is not because of us, but because these people are forcing us!"
"We...we..."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to continue talking, he looked at Chu Ze, who was sitting opposite, and it seemed that there was no use in telling him this matter.
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who suddenly stopped, and subconsciously wanted to reach for the teacup on the table.
But when he thought that the teacup seemed to have been snatched away by Lao Zhu just now, he quietly retracted his hand.
Lao Zhu naturally noticed Chu Ze's little move, but he didn't say anything.
It's just that neither of them knew what to say for a moment.
The two sides just stared at each other, and the atmosphere couldn't help but become a little weird.
"Ahem...Your Majesty, please continue!"
After a brief silence, Chu Ze couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere was a little strange.
So in order to break the awkward and somewhat weird atmosphere, he said this out of nowhere.
"Continue? What should we continue? It's your turn now! Didn't we ask you, our girl...how much time does she have?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang asked how much time was left, his tone and voice couldn't help but tremble a little more.
Although he was afraid of hearing the final answer, he finally raised the question.
When Chu Ze, who had just been perfunctory, heard that Lao Zhu was obsessed with this issue again, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
As a person from later generations, Chu Ze knows better than anyone else the status of Queen Ma in Lao Zhu's heart.
What a heart of stone was this emperor who spent the first half of his life in suffering and war!
However, it was such an emperor who was able to shed tears and cry bitterly when Queen Ma died!
It can be said that Queen Ma is definitely Lao Zhu's biggest negative factor!
If possible, Chu Ze would not want to touch this restricted area.
But in today's situation, Chu Ze knew that he would never be able to escape.
"Your Majesty, I hope you are mentally prepared!"
"According to what I know, in fact...after the death of the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying, the queen passed away in less than a few months..."
"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense! What a load of nonsense! Fuck you, stinky fart!"
As soon as Chu Ze finished speaking, Lao Zhu, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly erupted like a ignited volcano.
Under Chu Ze's stunned gaze, he actually swept all the tea cups and teapots in front of him to the ground.
That's not all. After sweeping down everything in front of him, Lao Zhu grabbed the edge of the table with both hands and turned the table over like an angry bull.
Fortunately, Chu Ze, who was well prepared, jumped away as soon as Lao Zhu got angry.
Otherwise, he might suffer a disaster!
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Take it!"
...
The moment Zhu Yuanzhang lost control and became angry, the Jin Yiwei outside the door pushed the door open and rushed in.
When they saw the furious Zhu Yuanzhang and the mess on the ground, the guards drew their swords and rushed toward Chu Ze.
Seeing those shining blades, Chu Ze's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up at this moment.
This was the first time he was pointed at a knife...
At the same time, this is the closest he has been to death after traveling through time, right?
At this time, Chu Ze looked at the Jin Yiwei who was rushing towards him, and then at Zhu Yuanzhang whose eyes were extremely red due to rage.
His eyes couldn't help but drift to the fragments of the teapot on the ground.
'Maybe it's good to end like this...'
Somehow, this voice suddenly rang in Chu Ze's mind.
Facing the Jin Yiwei who rushed towards him like a tiger or wolf, Chu Ze suddenly exerted force on his feet, rushed forward, grabbed the fragment of a teapot on the ground, and without hesitation, stabbed the sharp side directly towards his neck. passed.
"Who let you in? Get out of here!"
Just when the fragment in Chu Ze's hand was about to pierce his neck, a strong hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Then Chu Ze felt a pain in his hand, and the teapot fragment in his hand fell directly to the ground.
And Zhu Yuanzhang's thunder-like voice suddenly sounded in front of him.
The deep voice made Chu Ze's eardrums numb.
When he reacted, he raised his head and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodshot eyes staring at the Jin Yiwei who were trying to come forward with knives.
Under his lion-like pressure, the imperial guards quickly put away their swords.
Then he retreated as if running for his life.
And when he left, he didn't forget to close the door again.
"Boy, what did you want to do just now?"
"Uh...I, I didn't do anything!"
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's sword-like gaze, Chu Ze couldn't help but feel that it was a little difficult to breathe.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze's hand that was scratched by the porcelain shard just now, and then looked at the sharp edges of the porcelain shard that just fell to the ground.
"Did your kid just want to commit suicide?"
"Uh... Your Majesty, please stop talking nonsense! How can I have the courage to commit suicide..."
