Chapter 1399
The next step is to follow the clues and find the people behind the money shop case. At this point, it is definitely not possible to release Wei Wu.
But Zhu Yuxuan ran to the Fengxian Hall and knelt down to beg for favors. What if this caused a miscarriage? This child is a descendant of Cao Cao.
Not only did Wei Wu and Zhu Yuxuan, his parents, value this child, but he, Empress Ma, and Zhu Biao all also attached great importance to him.
If Zhu Yuxuan lost her child because she knelt for a long time in Fengxian Hall, then this matter would probably be more troublesome than the money shop case.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt some regret. He shouldn't have asked Wei Wu to keep it a secret; he should have let him communicate with Zhu Yuxuan first.
If Zhu Yuxuan had known beforehand that this was just a performance, she wouldn't have done what she did.
"No, we can't let Yuxuan kneel outside. We need to think of a way to send her back first, so as not to harm the baby."
After silently making his decision, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately strode from the back hall straight to the main gate of Fengxian Hall.
But at that moment, a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the sky, and the lightning illuminated the entire world for a moment before disappearing.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale for a moment with the lightning, but his face remained pale after the lightning disappeared.
It wasn't anything else, but mainly he knew there was even bigger trouble to come, and if things went wrong, it could really lead to someone's death.
As it turned out, Zhu Yuanzhang was right. The moment the lightning disappeared, a torrential downpour began.
Raindrops the size of soybeans poured down from the sky like water, completely soaking the ground in just a few seconds.
"Damn you, God! Why did it have to rain now of all times? Are you trying to kill us?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed the heavens in his heart, and at the same time, he walked even faster, almost like he was running.
Unfortunately, his speed was still not fast enough to keep up with the weather. By the time he arrived at the gate of Fengxian Hall, his heart had turned to ice.
In the pouring rain, Zhu Yuxuan knelt alone in the rain, her thin clothes completely soaked.
Although the weather is warming up a bit now, that's only under sunny and calm conditions. If it's windy and rainy...
If your clothes are still soaked, the perceived temperature will not be worse than in winter, and may even be more bone-chilling.
Because the whole body is wet and the clothes are still clinging to the body, they will continuously draw away body heat, making it easy to develop hypothermia.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know the professional term "hypothermia," but he knew that damp clothes worn close to the body would allow cold air to penetrate.
Especially on windy and rainy days like this, when you are constantly enveloped by cold winds, it can be very troublesome if the cold air gets into your body.
Even for an ordinary person, it's at least a severe cold, but for a pregnant woman, it can be life-threatening.
In a moment of desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang disregarded everything else and rushed into the heavy rain to Zhu Yuxuan's side.
The torrential rain, which blurred even visibility, instantly soaked Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon robe.
Fortunately, the palace servants in Fengxian Hall reacted quickly, and someone immediately ran over with an umbrella and held it over Zhu Yuanzhang's head.
However, at that moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned around, glared at the palace servant, and then slapped him across the face.
"Idiot, why are you holding an umbrella for us? Can't you see our daughter is getting soaked in the rain?!"
The palace servant who was slapped by Zhu Yuanzhang was unlucky. It cannot be denied that he was indeed clever and knew to bring an umbrella.
But he wasn't clever enough. If he were, he would have done what the other palace servants did and rushed out without taking anything.
If he were a little smarter, he would know that he should take two umbrellas, otherwise he would have no choice if he only had one.
Since the emperor was right in front of them, it was impossible to abandon him to hold an umbrella for the princess, but holding an umbrella only for the emperor would result in this outcome.
