After doing all this, Zhu Guicai returned to the palace and met Xu Miaoqing who wanted to go out.
"My lord, you are back. I was going to find you?" Xu Miaoqing said happily.
"Oh, what's going on?" Zhu Gui couldn't help but be infected by Xu Miaoqing.
"My father invited us two to visit the Xu Mansion." After Xu Miaoqing finished speaking, she took Zhu Gui's arm and walked out.
The two of them did not take a carriage this time, because Xu Miaoqing now likes shopping, and the Grand Prince's Mansion is not far from the Xu Mansion. The two of them just walked and shopped, and finally arrived at the Xu Mansion half an hour later.
There were already servants waiting anxiously at the door of the Xu Mansion. When they saw the two coming, they immediately came to greet them, "Your Majesty, Second Miss, please come inside quickly. The Master and Madam have been waiting for a long time."
The two of them followed the servant into the Xu Mansion and arrived at the banquet hall.
I saw that a banquet table had been set up in the hall, and Xu Guogong was sitting at the head. He stood up immediately after seeing the two people coming in, "You are here, please take a seat."
After Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing sat down, they heard Xu Guogong continue to say, "On behalf of the king, I have received the news that you are going to go on an expedition. Will my son also come to Nanjing?"
It turned out that Duke Xu was thinking about this. When Zhu Gui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically, "General Xu will not pass through Nanjing. Although I have ordered people to send him a message, he will lead his troops directly to the border."
"That's it." Xu Guogong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on his face.
"Dad, haven't you and my second brother met last month? That's going to war, it's not a child's play, and the emperor is watching." Xu Miaoqing said with some annoyance.
Xu Guogong was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter, "Look, look, the water thrown out by the married daughter, she now knows how to speak for the prince."
Everyone at the table laughed, but Xu Maoqing's face turned slightly red, and then he lowered his head and glanced at Zhu Gui.
But Zhu Gui didn't notice, "By the way, Duke, I am out on an expedition, so I will leave the general affairs to you."
The general was naturally referring to Lan Yu. Xu Guogong Wenyan couldn't help but look serious.
Although he is the Duke of the country, his status is still inferior to that of the general, not to mention that the other party still holds military power.
But since Zhu Gui said so, Xu Guogong could only nod, "You can rest assured about this, but you must win this war beautifully, so that the emperor can no longer rely on the general. If you lose, then the court will
There is no one in the world who can compete with the general."
Zhu Gui nodded. He naturally understood this truth. He had no doubts about this war. But obviously, others did not think so. Many people were just waiting to see his joke.
Next they talked about some irrelevant topics.
After the meal, Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing returned home.
Zhu Gui sent Xu Miaoqing to her house and said to her, "I will be busy tomorrow, so today I am going to the palace to see His Royal Highness. You don't have to accompany me."
"Then you come back early, I'll prepare a midnight snack for you." Xu Miaoqing warned.
Zhu Gui nodded, then got on the carriage and went to the palace.
The journey to the East Palace was smooth and smooth. There seemed to be a lot fewer servants in the East Palace than before. Only Zhu Yunwen was still kneeling in front of the bed to serve the prince, without any dissatisfaction on his face.
Zhu Gui thought he could not do this, "Yunwen, the emperor's uncle came to see you, how is the prince?"
When Zhu Yunwen heard Zhu Gui's voice, he quickly stood up and replied, "It turns out that the emperor's uncle is here, and my father is still the same."
Zhu Yunwen said with a sad face.
"Didn't you say that the emperor has found a good medicine to treat the prince? Isn't it effective?" Zhu Gui walked to the hospital bed and looked at the prince Zhu Biao on the bed. His face was as pale as paper and his breathing was almost inaudible.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head, "Forget about those liars. After taking their medicine, my father's illness not only did not heal, but also became serious. My father has not woken up even once today."
Zhu Gui was startled when he heard Zhu Yunwen's words, and quickly pretended to feel Zhu Biao's pulse. Even though he didn't know any medical skills, he could still feel that Zhu Biao's pulse was very weak. If this continued, he might not be able to hold on for long.
This was something Zhu Gui had not expected. If Zhu Biao died of illness early, Zhu Yunwen would probably take over early, which would be very detrimental to Zhu Gui's plan.
He is not ready yet. Although it seems that Zhu Yunwen has a better relationship with him now, once Zhu Yunwen agrees to the policy of reducing the vassal, the two sides will be on opposite sides.
So now Zhu Gui must not allow Zhu Biao to have trouble, at least he must persist for another one to two years.
Thinking of this, he immediately thought of the system, so he secretly exchanged a pair of medicines that could alleviate Zhu Biao's condition in the system store, and said to Zhu Yunwen, "I recently found a pair of medicines that can alleviate the prince's condition in ancient books, and then
I made one on a trial basis. Since the prince’s condition has worsened now, I might as well try giving it to him.”
Zhu Gui took out a jade box and said to Zhu Yunwen.
If Zhu Yuanzhang were here, he would definitely not allow Zhu Gui to act so randomly, but Zhu Yunwen recognized Zhu Gui's words very much and hurriedly came over to catch the box Zhu Gui handed over, "Thank you, uncle."
After saying that, he asked his servant to bring him a bowl of water, and then gave Zhu Biao the medicine directly.
Not long after, Zhu Biao's face turned red, which surprised both Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Gui.
If Zhu Gui hadn't known the efficacy of this medicine, don't think that Zhu Biao's disease would have been cured just like this.
At this time, Zhu Biao slowly opened his eyes. He was the first to notice Zhu Gui standing aside, "Thirteenth Emperor Brother, you are here. My appearance makes you laugh."
"The prince's words are serious. I have been too busy recently. I didn't see the prince wake up in the past few times I came here." Zhu Gui quickly explained.
"Father, it was the emperor's medicine that saved you." Zhu Yunwen said quickly.
"Oh, really? I didn't expect that the emperor's younger brother would have research on pharmaceuticals. You are really a rare all-rounder." Zhu Biao said slowly, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes.
"The prince is laughing, you'd better have a good rest." Zhu Gui said quickly.
He didn't want Zhu Biao to have too much hope, it would only make him feel even more ashamed.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Biao waved his hand to ask Zhu Yunwen to leave the room, and then said to Zhu Gui, "Brother Emperor, I know your talent very well. You are the most suitable person to be the emperor, both for the Ming Dynasty and for the people."
, are all the most beneficial things, but my father is stubborn about this matter."
