"Why, do you really want to deal with Mr. Su?"
A voice suddenly sounded, which startled Lao Zhu.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sound. In fact, he knew even without looking that it was Empress Ma's voice.
"Sister, why are you here suddenly?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma and asked with a smile.
Queen Ma said with a straight face: "Mr. Su has been imprisoned. If I don't come back, will I be executed?"
In a word, it is directly to question Lao Zhu.
The one who Da Ming dared to talk to Lao Zhu like this was Empress Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, we are reluctant to chop Su Jing."
Empress Ma glared at him and said, "Reluctant to chop? Then aren't you very fierce in front of your sons? Why are you reluctant to do so?"
Queen Ma had already heard the conversation between Lao Zhu and his sons just now.
But she said nothing and waited until her sons were gone before she appeared.
As a queen, she always knows what's right.
Some things should be kept behind closed doors and can only be talked about when she and Zhu Yuanzhang are alone.
Zhu Yuanzhang explained: "Sister, you have wronged me. It was really not my intention that Su Jing was arrested. It was Yang Xian's own decision."
"snort."
Empress Ma snorted coldly and said: "Are you making your own decisions? If you didn't give him the will, how dare Yang Xian be so bold?"
Yang Xian may not be so familiar with Zhu Biao, but Queen Ma still knows about it.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, I really didn't want to arrest Su Jing. I gave the order to Yang Xian, but it was just to stop Su Jing's order, but I didn't say to arrest anyone! It was all Yang Xian's own decision, really!"
Then Lao Zhu told Queen Ma all the causes and consequences of the matter, including his thoughts on handling Yang Xian and Su Jing's previous warnings.
This is the trust between a model couple!
After listening to Lao Zhu's description, Queen Ma finally understood the current situation.
When Lan came to find her, she was confused for a while.
Why was Su Jing arrested?
After finally figuring out the matter, Queen Ma rushed to Zhu Yuanzhang without stopping.
"Chongba, do you really have that much thought?"
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, obviously not believing it.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, we really didn't expect things to turn out like this. Yang Xian did indeed go too far."
Su Jing's arrest was really not what Lao Zhu had expected.
Empress Ma said coldly: "Then what on earth did you, the emperor, do? You first promised Mr. Su to let him go home, and then arranged for someone to stop him. When your golden words came to your attention, you turned them into lies?"
Naked ridicule, very direct.
However, Lao Zhu really had nothing to refute, so he could only reply angrily: "Isn't this just for educational purposes?"
In the final analysis, Zhu Biao did not agree with Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to find a way to change his views.
Queen Ma did not dwell on the matter, but said directly: "Then when do you plan to release Mr. Su?"
When it came to educating Zhu Biao, Queen Ma knew that as a queen she should not be too involved.
How to become emperor is a matter that Zhu Yuanzhang decides on.
Now Queen Ma is concerned about Su Jing's situation.
"Just wait a little longer."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied.
"etc?"
Empress Ma frowned and said, "Chongba, what's your plan again? I really don't understand."
It was obvious that Yang Xian's matter was very clear, Su Jing must have been wronged, and Lao Zhu had no intention of putting Su Jing in jail at the beginning, so why did he continue to wait?
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Sister, didn't you see just now that our sons are very busy for Su Jing, and they also do things beautifully. We just want to see what surprises they can give us."
Although Su Jing's incident was an accident, the performance of Zhu Xi and others really made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.
"That's true. Since the last time I received individual instruction from Mr. Su, the second, third, and fourth children have all changed a lot and become much more stable."
Empress Ma nodded, she was very pleased with the changes in her sons.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I just didn't expect that if something happened to this kid Su Jing, everyone would come to plead for him. There are quite a lot of people."
When he said this, there was obviously some resentment in Lao Zhu's tone.
Empress Ma smiled and said, "That's Mr. Su. This kind of thing is normal. But you are Chongba. Don't be so petty."
Hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Who said that my little family is angry? I just said it casually."
Empress Ma covered her mouth and smiled, then said: "I heard that Biao'er is already going to accompany Mr. Su in the prison. What are you going to do, Chongba?"
Zhu Biao's attitude was the toughest among all.
Just go to jail with Su Jing.
"snort!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a stern face: "The dignified prince actually wants to accompany someone in the prison. Biao'er really doesn't understand his responsibilities more and more."
Zhu Biao is different from others. He is the prince and the future emperor of Ming Dynasty.
In Lao Zhu's opinion, this kind of angry behavior was a sign of immaturity and prudentness, and even his younger brothers couldn't compare with him.
Queen Ma said: "Chongba, you really didn't see Biao'er's thoughts!"
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned and said, "Sister, what do you mean by this?"
Empress Ma explained: "Chongba, you asked Biao'er to deliver the news that Mr. Su could go home. Then Mr. Su was arrested. Biao'er must be very guilty of this."
"At the same time, he also doesn't trust you as a father. He is afraid that you will do something to Mr. Su."
After saying this, Lao Zhu finally understood what his son Zhu Biao was thinking.
As the intermediary, Zhu Biao actually felt extremely guilty after Su Jing was arrested.
He instinctively believed that this matter was his responsibility, and it was quite a big one.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's renegade behavior and previous teachings also made Zhu Biao worried about what might happen to Su Jing in prison.
It was the best way for him to accompany Su Jing in the prison, and it could also show his attitude.
"This kid Su Jing actually dares to cause discord between us and Biao'er. It's really hateful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said through gritted teeth.
Obviously, he directly pointed the finger of these things at Su Jing.
Empress Ma was helpless and said: "Chongba, can't you reflect on yourself? Now that Biao'er doesn't believe you, why don't you hurry up and show something?"
There is distrust between father and son, or between the emperor and the prince. This is a pretty big deal.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't worry, sister, we just plan to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Su Jing."
"Talk to Mr. Su? Take this opportunity?"
Empress Ma was stunned, then said: "Chongba, didn't you say you didn't expect this situation to happen? What do you mean by this now? Didn't you have a chance to talk to Mr. Su before?"
Empress Ma also became suspicious of Zhu Yuanzhang. What he said before was inconsistent with what he said now.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately explained: "Sister, we really didn't expect this. We are just making adjustments based on the current situation."
Lao Zhu was very aggrieved.
He had indeed not thought of this level before, but it was only natural that things had developed to this point.
He is not Su Jing, who can predict everything.
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang coldly and said, "You'd better not."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, we, husband and wife, are doing this for the sake of Su Jing, is this the case?"
Now Lao Zhu is a little jealous. He and Empress Ma are a couple who share the same wealth through thick and thin. It goes without saying that there is no need to say much about the trust between the two.
Why is it like this because of Su Jing?
Queen Ma said: "What do you mean for Mr. Su? Now it's Chongba, you have done something wrong, you have to admit it, right?"
"Mr. Su has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Ming Dynasty. You see it in your eyes. Why do you have the nerve to say these things?"
On the issue of Su Jing, Queen Ma was extremely firm.
Without him, Su Jing's significance to the Ming Dynasty is really too great.
"I know, I know."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded helplessly.
…
In the prison of Yingtian Mansion.
Prince Zhu Biao has already arrived. He originally wanted to live in a cell with Su Jing, but the cell leader did not dare to put Zhu Biao in the cell.
The only option was to set up a chair outside so that Zhu Biao could sit outside Su Jing's cell door.
"Your Highness, you'd better go back. If something happens, I really can't bear it!"
The prison head stood next to Zhu Biao, his face looking quite ugly.
He is just a very ordinary cell leader in the prison. To the prisoners, he is the boss.
But now, with the prince Zhu Biao here, he did not dare to be arrogant at all, but was extremely worried.
The environment in this prison is not good. It would be okay if you just wander around casually, but Zhu Biao is determined to stay with Su Jing here. As time goes by, things may not be certain.
If anything unexpected happens, his head will definitely move.
"You can retreat. I will be here and not go anywhere. Master Su will give me whatever he wants to eat."
Zhu Biao said calmly.
Yang Xian could capture Su Jing directly at the gate of Yingtian Mansion. Who could have predicted what the frantic man would do in prison.
In order to protect Su Jing, this is the best way Zhu Biao can think of.
The prison boss looked extremely ugly. Even if Zhu Biao didn't leave, he would still have to eat the same prison food as Su Jing.
The prisoner's food itself was poor, not to mention that Yang Xian's scoundrel had specifically told Su Jing not to eat enough, and it was best to go hungry for a few days.
The prison boss promised well at that time, but how could he dare to starve Su Jing now.
"Okay, don't embarrass him. Why do you have to? Just be a good teacher here and nothing will happen to you."
Su Jing in the cell said to Zhu Biao.
He was quite moved by Zhu Biao's behavior.
However, he does not advocate it. It is really inappropriate for a dignified prince to accompany him to jail.
Zhu Biao said: "Master Su, the student feels guilty, so I am here to accompany him. Please also ask Master Su not to blame the student."
By this time, Zhu Biao no longer thought about hiding his identity.
Su Jing smiled and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you. There is no need to blame yourself. I will not blame you as a teacher. As for you, relax. Once your father handles Yang Xian, everything will be gone."
Although Su Jing still didn't quite understand why Lao Zhu wanted to catch him like this, he believed that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't really want to kill him.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so murderous.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill someone like this, let alone someone like Yang Xian.
Zhu Biao said: "Master Su has suffered a lot, so let the students stay with you here so that no one dares to do anything outrageous."
Su Jing was quite helpless after hearing this.
He was a prisoner now, and Zhu Biao insisted on accompanying him, so he had no other options.
Zhang Bing on the side looked at this situation and felt shocked.
The dignified prince Zhu Biao was actually able to protect Su Jing to such an extent. Su Jing, the prince's tutor, was really not an ordinary prince's tutor.
Suddenly Zhang Bing felt that this matter might be resolved soon.
Su Jing's words of comfort to him before were not just comfort.
"Actually, I really want to see who dares to do something outrageous."
Su Jing said lightly.
Su Jing has never forgotten the fact that she was assassinated after returning from Shandong.
It's just that it's too difficult to investigate, and I've never had a clue.
Now that he is in prison, it is much easier to take action. This is an opportunity to fish out the mastermind behind the scenes.
It's a pity that Zhu Biao was so defensive that he didn't give that man a chance.
After listening to Su Jing's words, Zhu Biao immediately understood, but he still insisted on his own approach.
"Master Su, you can't take risks with this kind of thing. Safety comes first."
Zhu Biao said seriously.
Now Yang Xian wants to deal with Su Jing openly, but secretly he doesn't know who it is. If he is really given a chance, the danger will be too great.
Zhu Biao didn't want Su Jing to take risks.
Su Jing said: "I know you care about me, but I'm not that useless."
After all, there are some things that cannot be explained directly to Zhu Biao.
Zhang Bing frowned and listened to the conversation between Su Jing and Zhu Biao. This was something he couldn't understand, but he could still guess some.
Su Jing and Zhu Biao must have experienced something together.
"Master Su, if you need anything, just tell the students."
Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.
Although it was impossible for Su Jing to go out, Zhu Biao could still do other things.
Su Jing shook her head and said, "There's nothing needed. It's nice here. I can get used to it."
They're all in jail, so why do they do anything special?
Besides, this is a rare opportunity to experience it. Most people want to know what it is like in Ming Dynasty’s prison, but they haven’t had the chance yet.
"Your Highness, Mr. Su is very open-minded. You don't need to worry."
Zhang Bing said to Zhu Biao. Infected by Su Jing's optimism, his mood has stabilized now.
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhang Bing next door and knew that this person was probably involved.
"Shilang Zhang, I have wronged you this time. When the matter is found out, I will definitely restore your innocence."
Zhu Biao said to Zhang Bing.
Zhang Bing immediately said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, His Majesty the Crown Prince. I also believe that His Majesty will definitely see Yang Xian's true face."
Hearing this, Zhu Biao's face jumped slightly, which was a little unnatural.
Because he knew that his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, had known everything for a long time. He could never see anything clearly. Everything was just Zhu Yuanzhang's needs.
This is the way of the emperor that Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted to him.
