Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1400

It can only be said that although he was somewhat wronged by the slap, it taught him a lesson.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he immediately took up an umbrella and came to Zhu Yuxuan's side to shield him from the rain.

The palace servants who hadn't been moving earlier took this opportunity to run back to the Fengxian Hall and grab an umbrella to hold for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing this, the palace servant in front was seething with hatred but couldn't show it, so he could only silently sulk in his heart.

However, the second palace maid's attentiveness was in vain, because Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was not on that at all.

All his attention is now focused on Zhu Yuxuan; he just wants to get her back and stop her from causing trouble.

After a brief silence, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yuxuan and said in a deep voice:

"Wei Yang, what do you take this Fengxian Hall for? Do you think you can run wild here? Get back here!!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said the last sentence, "Go back to where you came from," his tone had become somewhat stern.

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand, Zhu Yuxuan, who had been keeping his head down, slowly raised it and said in a trembling voice:

“Father, Emperor, your daughter is not acting recklessly. I have come to Fengxian Hall only to ask for your mercy.”

“Husband, husband, he could never, could not possibly be involved in the money shop case. Daughter, daughter can explain the reasons for your injustice.”

Before arriving at Fengxian Hall, Zhu Yuxuan saw the dark clouds in the sky and knew it was going to rain, so he was already prepared.

But when the rain actually poured down, her clothes were soaked through, and she was kneeling in the cold wind, she realized just how cold it was.

So much so that when she spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang, her body trembled constantly, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.

When responding to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuxuan's expression was very firm, but he was secretly praying in his heart.

"Father, you must realize my thoughts as soon as possible and secretly send someone to invite Mother over, so that I will no longer have to kneel."

Zhu Yuxuan's main purpose in coming here was to cooperate with Wei Wu to make Zhu Yuanzhang's plan proceed more smoothly.

Wei Wu was imprisoned in the imperial prison to lower the guard of those behind the money shop case, so that they could seize their weaknesses.

The key is to make those people believe that Wei Wu really took the blame for the money shop case, so that they will take advantage of his misfortune as much as possible.

Zhu Yuxuan was the wife of Wei Wu, and the two of them were known in the capital for their mutual respect and excellent relationship.

At this time, Wei Wu was imprisoned, but Zhu Yuxuan did not react at all, which would inevitably arouse suspicion among those people.

So, as early as when Wei Wu confessed this matter to her, Zhu Yuxuan had already decided to lend her husband a helping hand.

When she knelt before the Fengxian Hall to beg Zhu Yuanzhang for mercy, it was, to put it bluntly, just a show she deliberately put on for others to see.

Zhu Yuxuan knew it might rain, but she didn't expect the rain to be so heavy, and that it would be so cold after the wind blew.

She was a princess, and although she wasn't as pampered as the princes, she was still a pampered princess in the palace.

The palace servants around her were all taking great care of her, as getting soaked in the rain like this was a first for her.

Now Zhu Yuxuan only hopes that his old father will realize his intentions as soon as possible and send someone to invite the Empress.

As long as Empress Ma arrives, she can use the pretext of pleading for mercy to leave with Empress Ma and avoid getting soaked in the rain.

Otherwise, if she continues to kneel like this, her knees might be able to take it, but the baby in her womb would be in danger.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuxuan's plan was excellent, but Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was not as smooth as she had imagined.

It's possible that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react immediately, or perhaps his first instinct was to keep Empress Ma from knowing.

After Zhu Yuxuan finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang did not make any arrangements, but looked at Zhu Yuxuan with a serious expression.

"Guards, escort Princess Weiyang back to the Duke's mansion. Without my decree, she is not to step out of the Duke's mansion!"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yuxuan realized that his father had failed to perceive his intentions, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The most crucial part of this scene is getting Empress Ma to take her away, so that she can leave under the pretext of continuing to plead for mercy.

If she were to be carried away by palace servants, she would have to struggle emotionally, which could potentially harm the fetus.

Just as Zhu Yuxuan was anxiously trying to figure out how to remind Zhu Yuanzhang, two eunuchs arrived on either side of her.

The eunuchs held Zhu Yuxuan's arms on either side, leaving Zhu Yuxuan with no choice but to tighten her grip and appear to struggle.

"Father, Father, have mercy! Father, my husband is innocent! I can tell you the reasons, please listen to me first!"

While struggling and shouting, Zhu Yuxuan was also inwardly screaming with anxiety:

"Father, please realize something's wrong! Let Mother come later, I don't want anything to happen to the baby!!"

Just as Zhu Yuxuan was feeling anxious, Zhu Yuanzhang, seeing her struggling, was also anxious and kept calling out to his ancestors!

"My little darling! Please don't move anymore! What if something happens to the baby? How will we face Xiao Wu when he comes back?!"

Anxious, Zhu Yuanzhang dared not let the eunuchs continue escorting Zhu Yuxuan away, and immediately shouted:

"Stop!!"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the two eunuchs immediately stopped, but did not release Zhu Yuxuan.

Seeing that the two eunuchs stopped walking, Zhu Yuxuan also stopped struggling. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.

"Weiyang, how dare you! We established a rule at the beginning of our nation that royal women are not allowed to interfere in politics, and even your mother was not exempt from this rule."

"But now you are openly violating our rules, kneeling in front of the Fengxian Hall trying to influence our decisions. Are you deliberately trying to force us?"

"We're only letting this go today because you're pregnant. But if you keep causing trouble, believe me, we'll punish you too!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Yuxuan's eyes immediately reddened, as if he was saddened by his inability to save Wei Wu.

But in reality, it was because Zhu Yuanzhang failed to perceive her inner thoughts that he was so anxious that he cried.

The problem was that she couldn't say it outright, so she had to keep up the act and spoke again:

"Father, I'm not being unreasonable. I just hope you can listen to me. That's all!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed inwardly, but outwardly maintained a cold expression and said:

"Alright, let's see what you can come up with!"
