If not abolished

Chapter 135 Princess Yongan

Zhu Zhanji has been feeling a little uneasy these days. He always feels that something is going to happen, but he can't remember what it is at the moment.

In the evening, it started to drizzle again. Zhu Zhanji felt bored in the room and came out to get some fresh air.

"Is Zhanhe not back yet?" Zhu Zhanji turned around and asked.

"Your Highness, not yet? But I heard that King Zhao came back half an hour ago?"

"Oh, this is strange. Why did Third Uncle come back? Did he abandon Zhan He?" Zhu Zhanji probably thought about what Third Uncle would say when he called Zhan He out, but as far as he knew, his cousin was completely different from his two uncles and probably wouldn't help. Maybe the two of them had a falling out.

"This..." Wu Cheng naturally couldn't guess.

"We don't know when the rain will stop for a while, send someone to check it out," Zhu Zhanji ordered.

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

After a while, Wu Cheng came back, "Your Highness, what a coincidence! I was just about to send someone out to look for the prince, and he just happened to come back from outside."

"You're back. Did you come back in the rain?" The sun was shining brightly when he went out, and there was no sign of rain at all. Zhu Zhanji could only wonder if he came back in the rain: "Go, ask someone to boil some ginger soup."

"Your Highness is wrong. The prince came back holding an umbrella."

"Really? Okay then." This was something Zhu Zhanji had not expected.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Zhanhe's figure.

"You're finally back. I was just about to send someone to look for you, but it suddenly rained. Did you get wet?" Zhu Zhanji said with concern.

Zhu Zhanhe walked under the eaves and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Fortunately, I arrived at Aunt Yong'an's house when it was raining. I sat there for a while. It was Aunt Yong'an who sent a carriage to take me back."

"What a coincidence! Didn't you go out with your third uncle? Why did you come back alone?" Zhu Zhanji asked casually.

Zhu Zhanhe thought of the quarrel with his uncle in the afternoon. Seeing Zhu Zhanji, he felt embarrassed and had to lie, saying, "My uncle had something to do suddenly. I wanted to go out for a walk in the city, so I came back late. I didn't expect the weather to be bad."

"I see. Fortunately, I met Aunt Yong'an. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her for several years. Is she okay? How is her health?" Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Zhu Zhanji changed the subject.

Seeing that he did not ask any more questions, Zhu Zhanhe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I did not see my aunt, but only my husband. He said that my aunt had caught a cold and was not feeling well these days, so it was inconvenient for her to come out to see me."

"Is that so?" Zhu Zhanji did not ask any more questions, and continued, "It's getting late, let's go in. You haven't eaten yet, right? It's a rare opportunity for us brothers to have a meal together, shall we?"

"Your Highness has said what you said, so I have no choice but to refuse."

After dinner, Zhu Zhanhe said to Zhu Zhanji: "Your Highness, I've thought about it and it's not convenient to keep bothering you like this. I'll move to another place tomorrow."

"Is your house ready? If not, you can stay here for two more days. There's no need to move out in such a hurry. Is there anyone gossiping about you?" Zhu Zhanji tried to persuade him to stay.

Zhu Zhanhe waved his hands repeatedly: "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. It has nothing to do with others. I am the one who feels embarrassed."

"Since you insist on doing this, I can't say anything more. But it's raining today, and your house must not be ready yet. So, I'll go and tell Grandpa Huang to move you to another place."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhu Zhanhe really didn't want to be a spy for his father and third uncle. He couldn't persuade them to do what they wanted to do, but at least he wouldn't become their accomplice.

"Why are you being so polite?"

Sure enough, Zhu Zhanhe moved to the new palace the next day.

"Your Highness, why is the prince so anxious to move out?" Wu Cheng couldn't understand. According to your analysis before, wasn't the prince here to monitor them? Why was he in such a hurry to leave now?

"Xiao He, you have always been a good child. It's just that as your second uncle's son, you know what kind of person your father is, but you can't stop him. You can only be stuck in the middle and feel uncomfortable." Zhu Zhanji thought of Zhu Zhanhe in his previous life, who also struggled painfully between morality and his father, and finally died young.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't change these things. Whether in this life or in the previous life, his second uncle's idea of ​​​​winning the throne had never changed. But this time, would he be stained with his uncle's blood again? Zhu Zhanji thought of the past and closed his eyes.

"Your Highness..." Wu Cheng asked in confusion when he saw Zhu Zhanji suddenly stopped talking.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something."

At this time, Zhu Gaosui heard about Zhu Zhanhe's actions and said, "This child is incorrigible. How could his second brother, with such a temper, give birth to such a son? He is not like them at all. His character is more like that of the prince's family."

Zhu Gaosui had no choice but to convey the situation here to Zhu Gaoxu in the capital.

When Zhu Gaoxu found out about this, he was also very disappointed with his son.

I had no choice but to focus on my second son's marriage to give myself more help.

At noon, Zhu Zhanji was practicing calligraphy in his study when suddenly something flashed through his mind. Zhu Zhanji put down his pen and said hurriedly, "Wu Cheng, prepare the carriage quickly. I want to go to Princess Yong'an's Mansion." After Zhu Zhanji walked out, he realized that he could not do anything by just going there.

Thinking of something, he walked out quickly. Wu Cheng didn't react for a moment and wondered whether he should follow Zhu Zhanji or prepare the carriage.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Wu Cheng had no choice but to shout and ask.

"No need to follow me, go prepare the carriage and wait at the palace gate," Zhu Zhanji said to him.

"I understand." Seeing Zhu Zhanji so anxious, Wu Cheng also became anxious. Although he didn't know what Zhu Zhanji was going to do, but since the master had given the order, they, as servants, had to do it.

Zhu Zhanji finally reached his destination and walked out with a royal physician.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? Where do you want me to go?" The imperial physician happened to be Liu Guan, who had treated him before. No wonder Zhu Zhanji felt that he looked familiar.

Liu Guan struggled and said, "Wait a minute, Your Highness. You dragged me out without saying anything. Your Majesty, do you know that? Without Your Majesty's order, I cannot leave with you privately."

"Doctor Liu, the situation is urgent now. I can't explain it to you in a few words. You come with me first. If there is anything later, I will go to His Majesty to apologize." Zhu Zhanji did not let him break free and said as he pulled him away.

"Your Highness, can you at least tell me where you are going and what you are doing?" Liu Guan knew that Zhu Zhanji was not an unreliable person and that he probably really had something urgent to do. He did not struggle and basically followed Zhu Zhanji obediently.

"Of course, I'm going to cure illnesses and save lives. As for where I'm going, you'll know it later."

"Okay, I will believe Your Highness this time, but if His Majesty blames you afterwards..." Liu Guan was still worried. If Zhu Zhanji made a mistake, His Majesty would not blame him too much, but they, the ministers, would suffer.

"Don't worry, if His Majesty blames me, I will make sure you have nothing to worry about." Zhu Zhanji promised.

Seeing that he had said so, Liu Guan immediately said, "Then please lead the way, Your Highness."

Wait until the two of them reach the palace gate.

"Your Highness, this is it." Wu Cheng had been waiting there early.

"Are we going out?"

"Yes. Doctor Liu, please."

Liu Guan had no choice but to accept his fate and get on the carriage.

Wu Cheng personally drove the carriage and quickly arrived at Princess Yong'an's mansion.

"Your Highness has arrived."

Zhu Zhanji pulled Liu Guan out of the carriage.

"Your Highness, Princess Yong'an's Mansion?" Liu Guan looked up at the plaque above his head and said.

"Yes, Princess Yong'an is ill, and I want you to come and see her."

When the people at the door heard that Zhu Zhanji had arrived, they immediately invited him in.

The Prince Consort Yuan Rong came over in a hurry.

"I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive me."

"Please get up quickly, Prince Consort."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder what brings you here today?" The prince consort thought, the Prince of Han came yesterday, and today His Highness the Crown Prince comes again, it's really confusing. His Majesty has been in Beijing these days, could he have any instructions?

"Oh, it's like this. Yesterday, the Prince of Han happened to come to my house to avoid the rain. He came back and told me about it. Then I heard from him that my aunt Yong'an was unwell. I brought the imperial physician from the palace here today to diagnose my aunt and see what's going on. I don't know if it's convenient." Zhu Zhanji gave a brief account.

"So that's how it is. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's true that Her Royal Highness the Princess has been ill for quite some time and has not recovered. I was just about to hire another doctor for the Princess. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been considerate enough to bring the imperial physician here, that is naturally the best. I will take you there right away." With that, the Prince Consort took them to the backyard.

The group arrived outside Princess Yong'an's room.

"Doctor Liu, please go and treat Her Royal Highness the Princess." Zhu Zhanji said to him.

"My minister obeys."

It was difficult for Zhu Zhanji and his companions to go in, so the prince consort had to accompany him outside.

"Your Highness, please sit down for a while." The prince consort invited him to sit down and poured him tea.

"Thank you." Zhu Zhanji picked up the teacup and took a sip. He was indeed a little thirsty after rushing all the way here.

Zhu Zhanji is waiting for the diagnosis and treatment results.

On the other hand, Zhu Gaosui heard that Zhu Zhanji had secretly taken the imperial physician out of the palace, and he hurriedly prepared to go to Zhu Di to show his disdain.

"I have finally caught this kid Zhu Zhanji. Let's see how he tries to argue this time. He actually dared to take the imperial physician away without permission. If my father gets to know about this, he will definitely punish him severely." Zhu Gaosui said as he walked. He had already begun to imagine how Zhu Zhanji would be punished. The thought made him happy.

"Father, I have something important to report."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhu Di asked.

"I heard that Zhanji secretly took Imperial Physician Liu out of the palace an hour ago." Zhu Gaosui immediately complained.

"Are you telling the truth?" Zhu Di asked in surprise.

"Of course, father doesn't believe it either. Zhanji hasn't come back yet. You can ask other imperial doctors and you will know." Zhu Gaosui said confidently.
