The woman with worried words and nervous expression appeared in front of Zhu Yunxi.
This is the current step-concubine Lu of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the biological mother of Zhu Yunwen, the future Jianwen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
If we just talk about Lu's appearance, she doesn't look like a mother of two children. The child has a good appearance, small and pleasant cheeks, gentle brows, and a virtuous posture.
Mrs. Lu walked to the bedside and asked anxiously with worry in her eyes: "Yunxi, something terrible happened. How could you just fall into the lotus pond all by yourself?"
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lu already looked back at the other man walking behind her.
I saw this man with a majestic appearance, clear will, firm steps, stern expression, and self-respect without anger.
Who is it but Zhu Di, King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, who is now in charge of Peiping and controlling the army and horses in the north.
Zhu Yunxi was lying on the bed, silently observing the two people who came in.
Lu's words in front of him seemed to be concerned about him, but it was better to say that he was trying to excuse himself in front of Zhu Di.
Otherwise, why would she mention that she was alone in the lotus pond?
At this time, Zhu Di had also walked to the side.
Since the 13th year of Hongwu's reign in Beiping, Zhu Di has been leading troops for more than ten years, and the naughtiness and frivolity of his youth in Yingtian City have long since disappeared. Every word and deed carries the majesty of a vassal king with an army of hundreds of thousands.
When he came closer, he only said: "How are you now?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "My fourth uncle is worried about me, but I just soaked in the muddy water for a while, so it doesn't matter."
As he spoke, he made a gesture to get up and bow.
However, Mr. Lu had sharp eyes and quick hands. He hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands to press down: "You just woke up and your body is still weak. There is no need to perform these virtual rituals."
Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips and nodded silently.
He was somewhat reluctant to call the woman in front of him mother.
Seeing that he kept silent, Mrs. Lu just thought that he was frightened today and was weak.
However, he secretly carefully looked at the expression on Zhu Yunxi's face many times.
Mrs. Lu turned around and cursed: "On the other hand, the servants in the palace are becoming more and more unruly now. Even the king has no one to accompany him. Although something has happened now, everyone is fine. If something serious happened, Even if they have ten or a hundred heads, they still won’t be enough to count!”
Zhu Yunxi said: "No wonder they, I sneaked away today, and they were not prepared..."
These words were spoken by Zhu Yunxi after careful consideration.
He never mentioned what happened that made him sneak away from the palace attendants, but he glanced at Zhu Di silently at the end.
Mrs. Lu added: "I got the news earlier, and I was so panicked that I asked someone to call the imperial doctor, but there was no one there. It was all unruly! The prince also asked someone to deliver the message, but he was facing the middle. He still has something to discuss with your grandpa Huang, but he can’t come back now.”
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "State affairs are of paramount importance. My father and the emperor's grandfather are from the country, and Yunxi is a member of the Ming Dynasty clan, so he knows it."
He was fair and honorable in front of the two people, especially Zhu Di.
Zhu Yunxi moved his eyes to Zhu Di, who had only said one sentence since arriving here.
"Now the DPRK is recruiting troops, and a large army is about to rise in the north. My fourth uncle should be in charge in Peiping, why is he in Yingtian?"
At the beginning of this year, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Duke Ying Fu Youde as his general to conquer the captives, and Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi and Wuding Marquis Guo Ying as his deputies to prepare for the battle in Peiping.
According to the current Ming Dynasty's border vassal policy, Zhu Di should stay in Peiping and take charge of the border areas. When the war comes, he will be in charge of the armies as the commander-in-chief.
Zhu Di smiled heartily. He knew that his nephew was usually introverted and unobtrusive, and he never seemed to pay attention to government affairs.
Now he not only knew about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but also knew what he, the King of Yan, was going to do.
He said: "Your father will probably go to Guanzhong this year. At this time, the Northern Expedition resumes, so your grandpa Huang summoned me back to Beijing to talk about things."
After explaining, Zhu Di added: "It's your boy, I just entered the palace and before I saw your grandpa and your father, I heard about you falling into the water, so I wanted to see how you were doing."
Zhu Yunxi was born in the eleventh year of Hongwu, and Zhu Di came to Peiping from Yingtian in the thirteenth year of Hongwu. It can also be said that Zhu Di watched Zhu Yunxi's birth.
After returning to Beijing these years, I have become somewhat fond of this nephew whose mother-in-law died young.
Zhu Yunxi squeezed out a smile on his pale face. He first glanced at Lu, who was still looking concerned, and then looked at Zhu Di: "What worries my fourth uncle is that Yunxi was not careful today, and he fell into the water just now. Now he is no longer in the water." It doesn't matter. My nephew is going to Japan first and is thinking that if the fourth uncle comes back to Beijing next time, the nephew will beg to follow him and see what that Yuan man looks like."
As soon as he said these words, Lu Shi on the side immediately jumped in and scolded: "You kid, your fourth uncle has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. You follow your fourth uncle to cause trouble for him! Treat him well!" After I have recovered my health in Yingtian, I will go to my husband to study."
A prince and grandson who is educated as a sage is fine, but a prince and grandson who is capable of literature and martial arts is very bad!
Over the years, there has been a haze in Mrs. Lu's heart. No matter what, she could not agree to Zhu Yunxi and let him go.
Zhu Di chuckled and moved his eyes slightly.
In the previous episode, Zhu Yunxi said that he sneaked away today and accidentally fell into the water. Now he says that he wants to be by his side.
There is some profound meaning in this.
It's just that the nephew doesn't show his expression now, so he won't point it out.
The three of them talked separately for a while. When Mrs. Lu saw that the imperial doctor had not yet arrived, she turned around and cursed: "I went to see what the hell is going on over there in the Taiyuan Hospital, and I can't help but come here alone!"
Zhu Di immediately said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Yunxi is probably just frightened now. I am here to accompany him to talk. Gao Chi also said in Peking that he has not seen Yunxi, his younger brother, for a long time. I will return to Beijing this time to send him a message."
Zhu Gaochi was only a few months older than Zhu Yunxi. Seeing what Zhu Di said, Lu didn't know what to say.
But before leaving, she looked deeply at Zhu Yunxi who was still lying on the bed. She was a little worried that Zhu Yunxi would talk nonsense in front of King Yan while she was away.
Zhu Yunxi, who had been paying attention to Lu, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party finally left, and he lay heavily on the bed.
Zhu Di, who was standing by the bed, saw it clearly, but he never took the initiative to speak. He was waiting for his nephew to leave him behind and what he wanted to say to him.
Zhu Yunxi was lying on the bed with thoughts racing in his mind.
Next to him is the Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty who spent his entire life on horseback.
He conquered Mobei five times and made great efforts in navigation. Although his numerous national policies burdened the Ming Dynasty's finances, it also laid favorable external conditions for the subsequent rule of Renxuan.
The merit outweighs the fault.
This is Zhu Yunxi's evaluation of the current King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.
only……
Zhu Yunxi also knew that if everything proceeds according to the original trajectory, the Yan King Zhu Di in front of him will personally start the four-year peace campaign in the near future.
At that time, he will also be imprisoned in the ancestral land of the Ming Dynasty, Fengyang, the central capital, and die at the age of thirty-nine.
But now, his mother and concubine died young, and he has always shown his cowardice to others. He can be said to be helpless. Apart from Zhu Di in front of him, he can't think of anyone else to rely on.
After thinking about it.
Zhu Yunxi didn't stop and immediately sat up from the bed.
After driving away the two little palace ladies in the house.
In Zhu Di's puzzled eyes, Zhu Yunxi had already jumped off the bed, faced Zhu Di, and bowed to the end.
The words are sincere, the posture is respectful, and the look is panic.
"Uncle Fourth, save me!"
