Chapter 112

Thinking of this, Su Qiao immediately could no longer sit still.

"Director Commander Commander Jiang, Director Commander Commander Jiang, what exactly has happened in the palace?"

"Has something happened to Your Majesty??"

Riding on horseback, Commander Commander Jiang Huan frowned, his face serious as he whispered in a low voice:

"Lord Su, please ask no more; you will know once you arrive."

Hearing Commander Commander Jiang Huan's reply and seeing his expression,

Su Qiao's heart instantly went cold.

Not long after,

the carriage slowly came to a halt within the Eastern Palace.

Then the cage door opened, and Su Qiao's first sight was a young eunuch in the distance, clutching a lantern bearing the character for "mourning" and rushing past.

The entire palace was in chaos.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen was undeniably a young man who had lived well beyond the Jingnan Campaign.

Surely he couldn't have died suddenly right now?

Thinking of this,

the answer in Su Qiao's mind was already about to leap out.

In the whole palace, the only person who could drop dead at any moment

was none other than Old Zhu himself?!

Was Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen dragging him here to assist with his accession to the throne?!

Was there really no going back?!

Thinking of the billion green bills in his bank account,

thinking of black stockings, white stockings, and long legs,

tears began to well up uncontrollably in Su Qiao's eyes.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Before Commander Commander Jiang Huan could even lead Su Qiao into the Ciqing Hall,

Su Qiao let out a "Waaah!" and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, you cannot leave! I haven't even died yet; how can you die!"

"With the Crown Prince in such a state, how can you feel at ease handing over the Great Ming's realm to him!"

Judging by the current situation...

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen was determined to tie him to this ship.

He couldn't even run away if he wanted to.

In two years, once Zhu Di entered the city,

he would become a former official of the Jianwen reign!

Thinking of this,

Su Qiao wept even more sorrowfully.

"Your Majesty, just take me with you!"

"Director Commander Commander Jiang, before Your Majesty departed, did he leave any last edict ordering me to accompany him on the journey?"

Commander Commander Jiang Huan's old face instantly turned green.

Throughout the Eastern Palace, Su Qiao's wails echoed everywhere.

Even the eunuch holding the lantern nearby could not help but stop in his tracks.

The Ciqing Hall was no exception.

Originally, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang had been watching the half-dead Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Qizhen with great interest.

Before Old Zhu could even swallow his tea,

he heard Su Qiao's crying from outside the door.

Upon hearing the sobs, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's expression immediately grew grave.

"What is going on?"

A eunuch from outside hurriedly ran in

and whispered in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, Lord Su just entered the palace and likely thought Your Majesty had passed... passed away."

"That is why he is weeping so sorrowfully."

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's brows tightened.

In another spacetime, Zhu Di could not help but lower the horsewhip in his hand.

"Father, one wouldn't guess this fellow is so loyal."

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion:

"Indeed. I reckon when I died back then, you boy cried far less than Su Qiao did."

The corner of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly.

"No, Father, believe me, I cried terribly back then, truly."

Too lazy to bother with Zhu Di, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang immediately rose and ordered:

"You lot of servants, are you just going to stand there watching Lord Su cry?!"

"Hurry up and help him in here!"

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Qiao with a pang of heartache.

His heart was filled with countless emotions.

What is a loyal minister?

This is a loyal minister!

Only after Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang shouted did the people present finally come to their senses.

Commander Commander Jiang Hu stepped forward and helped Su Qiao, who had collapsed on the ground, to his feet.

"Lord Su, it is not as you think."

"It is not His Majesty, but the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing it was Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen,

Su Qiao's crying stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help but curse,

"Why the hell didn't you say so sooner! You scared the life out of me!"

The corner of Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched slightly.

Looking at Huang Huang Zicheng beside him, he asked,

"Is this what you call having a good relationship?"

Huang Huang Zicheng's heart trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, even if the Crown Prince's relationship with Lord Su is excellent, it naturally cannot compare to that with Your Majesty..."

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and fell silent.

A moment later,

Su Qiao saw Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang inside the Ciqing Hall.

Having been cried at inexplicably by Su Qiao, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze softened considerably when he looked at Su Qiao again.

"Enough. The Imperial Prison is damp; after all this time, stop with the formalities, boy. You are granted a seat."

Su Qiao did not stand on ceremony.

He plopped himself down directly onto the bench.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Qiao with a complex expression, then let out a long sigh and said,

"Commander Commander Jiang Hu just told you that the Crown Prince has gotten himself into trouble."

"I originally intended to let Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen gain some experience by leading troops."

"I never expected this foolish child to end up surrounded by Japanese pirates instead."

Su Qiao said helplessly,

"Your Majesty, I have said it countless times: Prince Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen is simply not suited to be a ruler."

Folding his arms, Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang clicked his tongue and said,

"That is not important right now. I just want to know how to get Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Yunwen out of this."
