"Girl! Girl!"

Zhao Zheng didn't want to get entangled with Lao Zhu too much, so after achieving his goal, the last puppet who remained awake fell into a coma.

The next option for Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally to find Empress Ma and explain the matter to Yingtian.

However, it is easy to find an excuse to leave to do something, but it is difficult to go back and explain what you have been doing and why you suddenly have to go back.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is in the bedroom."

In front of the palace gate, the emperor came back in a hurry, but did not move for a long time at the door. The eunuch Wang Ban carefully reminded him, but he did not expect to offend Zhu Yuanzhang again.

"How could we not know!"

Old Zhu just glanced over, and the two tigers behind him quickly signaled to him. Only then did Wang Ban realize that the reason why Old Zhu was in trouble was because of Empress Ma.

I can only apologize, step aside and wait to be called.

Fortunately, it was about Empress Ma, otherwise Wang Ban would definitely be in trouble. However, apart from Empress Ma, Wang Ban would not take the initiative to remind people about other things.

"How should I put it..."

Old Zhu was really conflicted at the moment, and he really regretted why he had a quarrel with Empress Ma because of hiding the truth. But if he didn't hide it, he would tell the story of those people who inspected the Zhao Mansion...

So no matter what reason he came up with at the moment, it seemed inappropriate.

We can't just be straightforward. The four inspectors from the Zhao Mansion who I mentioned earlier were going back to the capital have arrived, but they must have fainted from vomiting blood due to my anger.

Then it might as well be like what we vaguely knew before, the four inspectors of the Zhao Mansion are returning to Beijing, but they may not go the same way with us.

But we’re taking different roads, so why are you in such a hurry to leave now?

Lao Zhu just felt that his head was a mess. The idea he came up with in the last moment was rejected by himself in the next moment.

"By the way, I am the emperor, what should I be afraid of!"

He couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it. Old Zhu saw Wang Ban's respectfulness from the corner of his eye, and an idea flashed in his mind. He straightened up instantly, then turned back to Erhu to confirm it again.

Under his gaze, Erhu naturally lowered his head subconsciously.

That’s right, I am the emperor, what do I have to fear!

In this way, Lao Zhu finally found a very reasonable reason for himself.

Does the emperor need an explanation for what he is going to do?

"Let's go! Go inform our sister!"

Erhu and Wang Ban heard Lao Zhu's firm and majestic tone, and compared it with the content. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

However, they couldn't say anything and could only let those who led the way lead the way and those who followed follow.

......

The palace and sleeping hall.

"Is our sister in there?"

Compared with the imperial palace in the capital, the temporary palace had equal regulations but was much smaller in scale, so it didn't take long for Zhu to arrive outside the bedroom where Empress Ma was.

However, when Old Zhu arrived this time, he did not go in directly. Instead, he stopped at the gate and asked the female officials on his left and right.

"Yes."

Several female officials answered respectfully, with doubts flashing in their eyes as they lowered their heads.

In the past, His Majesty never greeted them when he entered the bedroom. Why did he stop this time?

Could it be!

The female official who had other thoughts became excited, but was instantly suppressed by Erhu.

"Get down quickly!"

Yu'er was a personal maidservant to Empress Ma. She was just a maidservant to Empress Ma, but in the harem, she was the palace commander, the head of the female officials, and also the holder of the phoenix seal.

Especially when the current emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang, except for a few of Empress Ma's sisters and concubines, the power of life and death of everyone in the harem is basically in her hands.

Erhu, as Yu'er's husband, is the commander of the Jinyiwei who has always been beside Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. No one in the harem will have a nightmare when they see him.

So with just one sentence, these female officials were scared away and didn't dare to think too much.

A group of people around him were left alone at the scene, quietly waiting for Lao Zhu to think.

As for Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang’s previous firmness and majesty?

From the beginning, no one took it seriously.

"We are the emperor, who should we be afraid of?"

"We are the emperor! We are not afraid of anyone!"

But Lao Zhu couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only keep repeating these words in his mind to cheer himself up.

squeak~

The person at the door did not move for a long time, and the door of the hall opened by itself.

"Someone, go get some..."

"His Majesty!"

Yu'er and Empress Ma were packing their things inside. Although there were palace servants, just like Zhu Yuanzhang who cultivated a vegetable garden in his palace when he became emperor, Empress Ma was used to a simple life.

Seeing the emperor at the door, Yu'er hurriedly saluted, but the emperor Zhu Chongba asked in a low voice like a thief:

"Yu'er, how is our sister feeling after returning to the bedroom?"

Yu'er was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and quickly repeated Queen Ma's previous instructions:

"Your Majesty, everything is fine, but..."

"I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Yu'er's embarrassed expression made Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang think that she was trying to make things difficult between himself and her sister. His eyes turned and he looked more like a thief.

"Yu'er, just tell us quietly, I promise not to tell anyone!"

After making the promise, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and glanced at the two tigers and their group behind him.

Helplessly, the people behind him had to cover their ears.

Yu'er was stunned, because her husband was inside. This was no different from covering one's ears and stealing a bell. However, it happened to be in line with the instructions given to her by Empress Ma.

"Your Majesty, the Queen said that she has been traveling for nearly a year and has seen enough of the famous mountains and rivers she wanted to see, so..."

"Just what!"

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect such a pleasant surprise. He had been struggling with the matter for a long time, but it seemed that his sister wanted to go back!

But he still wanted to make sure.

Yu'er would naturally not let him down. To be precise, Queen Ma had never let him down.

"Your Majesty wants to act first and report later. While Your Majesty is out on business, I have asked this servant to pack up the valuables and wait for Your Majesty to come back and tell you directly..."

"Your Majesty! You must not reveal your true identity in front of the Empress! I really can't stand it. The Empress is afraid that if you and Your Majesty go out for too long, the Crown Prince will be too tired and the concubines left behind will be neglected..."

"In fact, I can see that Your Majesty really wants to continue traveling with Your Majesty to visit more beautiful rivers!"

Yu'er told the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang everything about the cause and effect. Although it was a bit of a treasonous denunciation, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, there was only deep affection between master and servant.

At this point, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's joy turned into guilt.

"My sister has thought so much..."

When Old Zhu thought about the secret he had concealed before, he felt even more guilty. Finally, he took that step and walked into the hall.

"Girl! Girl!"

Old Zhu hurried in. Unlike when he went to see Zhao Zheng, when he went to see Empress Ma, his concern arrived at the same time as the person.

Inside the palace.

"what happened?"

Queen Ma raised her head and saw Yu'er's reminder. She instantly understood what was going on. She pretended that she knew nothing and quietly put the things she was packing behind her.

This secret was too obvious, and Lao Zhu subconsciously wanted to ask what was being hidden.

But under normal circumstances, he wouldn't leave Yu'er alone. It was difficult to be close to his sister, so he could only pretend not to see it.

He pretended to be thirsty and shifted all his attention to the tea on the table.

"We're out for a walk, are you thirsty? I think the water here is better to drink."

"We are an old married couple, aren't you ashamed to still say these things?"

Empress Ma obviously did not expect that Old Zhu would say such words to change the situation. When she looked up, she saw that Erhu, Yu'er and Wang Ban, who had followed in, had trembling faces as if they were trying to hold back their laughter.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
