As soon as Zhu Houzhao arrived at Kunning Palace, she was discovered by Zhang Yuan and quickly sent to Queen Zhang. When the mother and son reunite, Zhu Houzhao staged a good show of pretending to be sick.

Zhu Houzhao is born to be a fool and acting, so it is no problem to pretend to be ill. After applying makeup on her face, she looks like she is really terminally ill. In addition, Empress Zhang has long bribed people from the Imperial Hospital to forge cases and come forward to commit perjury, so the rest is natural.

Zhu Youzhang successfully maintained his dignity in front of his ministers, allowing Liu Jian and Li Dongyang to lose face in front of a group of Hanyuan ministers.

Zhu Youzhang was very energetic, and the prince returned safely without any danger. He felt that his condition had improved most of the time. But he didn't know if the prince was really sick or pretended to be sick. After Liu Jian and other ministers visited him and left, Zhu Youzhang hurried to the bedside and asked about his son's condition with concern.

Empress Zhang wiped her tears and replied with a smile: "Emperor, the emperor is fine, he...he is just pretending to be sick and lie for you. Thanks to the verdict of the Song Hospital of the Imperial Hospital, the verdict of the Zhang Yuan and Eunuch Zhang found something to disguise, and helped the emperor successfully disguise!"

Zhu Youzhang sighed a long sigh and said, "I really worry, I am very lucky!"

Suddenly, Zhu Youzhang realized that he was too kind to his son. He was unanimous to the outside world just now, so he had to act, but now he couldn't let his son think that he really wouldn't pursue it anymore.

Zhu Youzhang's face changed and he was angry at Zhu Houzhao and said, "You rebellious son, say! Where have you been going in these days? Everyone has left, you still dare to lie down and pretend to be sick! Get up, I will interrogate you..."

Even though Zhu Youzing wanted to get angry, he found that he was powerless in many things, as if he was treating the prince, because what he cared most was not where the prince went, but wanted to know how the prince was in good health, whether he had suffered hardships along the way, and expressed his concern and love.

But when it comes to his words, he is talking about another thing, which makes Zhu Youting feel embarrassed, but this is due to his true character.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to know that he had done something wrong. She turned her body, got off the bed, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, "Father, my son is a fool. I left the capital and went to the place, went to many provinces, saw the Yellow River and Yangtze River Grand Canal, experienced the local customs and culture, and increased my experiences..."

"It is indeed a mistake for me to leave the capital without authorization, but I also want to take charge of the world and the people, and I am definitely not going out to make trouble. I hope my father can understand it!"

Zhu Houzhao went out for a walk, and after returning, he spoke very clearly. Although the reasons he found were far-fetched, at least it was extremely useful to Zhu Youzhang.

Zhu Youzing looked at Queen Zhang and asked, "Queen, did you teach him this?"

Queen Zhang looked unfair: "Emperor, the emperor has just returned. I have been thinking about asking him to pretend to be sick quickly and hide it from the cabinet masters and Hanyuan lecturers, and have never said anything else to him..."

Zhu Youzhang suddenly thought of a key question and asked: "How did you... go back to the capital? Who escorted you back along the way? How did you leave the Forbidden Palace and the capital?"

Now Zhu Houzhao is not as honest as before, because it is related to whether he can leave the palace again in the future, and he does not want to expose Liu Jin. Zhu Houzhao is determined to be "loyal". As for the matter of going to see Chen Xi and Chen Xi sending someone to escort him back to the capital, he is not ready to say it.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes rolled and said cunningly: "Father, my son minister came back from the palace gate..."

Zhu Youzhe really wanted to slap his son in the face. Didn’t you come in through the palace gate? Did you come in over the wall?

The joy of having a long separation and reunion for his son had been left behind, and Zhu Youzhi was furious: "How did you come back, you evil son?"

Zhu Hou took care of this situation and must have to reveal some "secrets" to successfully hand in the business. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, I will tell you honestly. I pretended to be a little eunuch and sneaked out of the palace. I also sneaked out of the palace like this. I used my father's reward to save some of my family. After leaving the palace, I took the things to the pawnshop in the capital, and then traveled around the world with silver and money to see the Ming Dynasty..."

"Make it, make it up for me!"

Zhu Youzhe was so angry that he coughed. He didn't believe that Zhu Houzhao came in unpretentiously from the palace gate of the small eunuch, because he felt that with the warning of the Forbidden City, the Imperial Guard could not be so relaxed.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, this is true!"

Zhu Youzang's cough worsened. Seeing this, Queen Zhang hurried forward to support her husband and patted him on the back. Zhang Yuan stepped forward at the right time, holding a set of eunuch's clothes in her hand and said:

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I wore when I saw the prince and accompanied the prince into Kunning Palace. They were the slaves who were temporarily arranged to be on duty in the Eastern Palace. They did not recognize the prince. After being beaten with a stick, they confessed that they were played by the prince. The prince forced them to take him to Kunning Palace..."

Zhu Youzhang looked at Zhu Houzhao with suspicion and asked, "You evil son, really, can you enter and exit the palace gate so easily?"

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said with a grievance: "Father, I actually found out before that as long as the eunuch holds a sign of leaving the palace, entering and leaving the palace gate will not be obstructed, and even the guards will not investigate. Erchen had gone out before, so he knew the path. This time he entered and exited the palace gate very smoothly. Even the guards in front of the palace gate were familiar with me and even said hello to me, thinking that I was the little eunuch in the palace... Perhaps Erchen was similar to those newly entered the palace and looked a little similar!"

The dignified prince actually said that he looked like a little eunuch. Zhu Youzhe was so angry that he wanted to rush forward a few steps and slap his son a few times, but unfortunately his body did not allow him to do these things.

Empress Zhang advised: "Emperor, it's good that the emperor can come back. I'm sorry to apologize to your father..."

Zhu Houzhao immediately kowtowed: "Father, I heard that my grandmother was seriously ill and was worried about it. I wanted to come back soon to accompany her. But on the way home, I heard that she had passed away. My son was extremely sad! If I had known this, my son would not have left the capital, so I didn't even see my grandmother for the last time..."

In order to show his filial piety, Zhu Houzhao used the death of Empress Zhang's mother to make a fuss. In fact, he left after learning about the death of Mrs. Jin. When he told him, he seemed to have left in advance.

After much calculation, the naughty child did not calculate. When Mrs. Jin was seriously ill, the palace never announced the matter to the public. It was not until Mrs. Jin died that the court had a mourning... Zhu Houzhao thought she was smart, but in fact she was smart but was mistaken for her intelligence.

Unfortunately, Zhu Youzhang was ill and had no time to think about the mistakes in Zhu Houzhao's words. Queen Zhang was still talking: "Emperor, although the emperor is ridiculous, he is filial to him, so you forgive him..."

Zhu Youzhang has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, so in history, after his death, the temple name was "Xiaozong" and the posthumous title of "Jiantianming Daocheng, Pure and Zhongzheng, Saint, Shenwu, and Emperor Benevolent and Great Deity and Respect for Emperors". This is the most pertinent evaluation of him. In his eyes, anyone who makes a mistake can be forgiven as long as he has a benevolent and filial heart, and even if he is guilty of great evil, he can be merciful and benevolent.

Zhu Youzhang sighed lightly: "Well, the prince has returned from behind for a long time. Let's just announce to the public that he will be recuperated in the inner palace for a while. After three or five days, he will be moved back to Xiefang Palace. If there is another incident of leaving the palace, I will not only kill the attendant, the attendant and the palace maids around him, but also his...the position of the crown prince will be deposed!"

Even if he scares Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youzhang can't find a better entry point, so he can only threaten and say that he wants to depose the prince. But he himself doesn't believe this kind of answer, because his situation is too complicated. If the prince is deposed and he has no other son to inherit the throne, would he really have to pass the throne to the little princess who is less than two years old?
