The more than 200,000 soldiers of the Northern Army, from top to bottom, almost all knew that a reckless Zhu Si had arrived. Every time he went to the battlefield, his knife seemed to have eyes, reaping enemy heads everywhere. But no one knew that he was the fourth prince of the current dynasty.
But he gritted his teeth and endured it all. He practiced martial arts and studied military books desperately, hoping to become unique and to earn even the slightest bit of his father's attention through military merit, or even just a second glance from his mother, so that she would call him "Yu'er" from the bottom of her heart.
Furthermore, it was so that he could marry Yong'an with the dignity and honor of a prince.
At the age of seventeen, he had brought the Northern Army under his control in just four years!
At the age of eighteen, after a brush with death, he returned to Shengjing, whereupon the world learned that he was actually Zhu Yu, the fourth prince of the emperor. No wonder he was called Zhu Si (Fourth Prince Zhu).
After several twists and turns, the old emperor was forced to grant him the title of king, giving him his own independent residence, his own confidants, and a group of people willing to follow him.
He immediately sent people to secretly investigate, and after several twists and turns, he finally found out the truth over the years.
When the secret guards delivered the news to him, he was utterly shocked. It turned out that all of this stemmed from his mother's background.

The guard committed suicide right in front of him.
After learning the truth, he suddenly understood his father, and his years of resentment vanished in an instant.
Even he himself felt that he shouldn't have been born, at least not into royalty.
Lu Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Yu quietly. His expression didn't change much, but there was an indescribable emotion hidden between his brows.
There is sorrow, there is helplessness.
This person was actually a pitiful one. From Yuan Xiu's words, she learned that Zhu Yu had been abandoned by his mother since childhood.
This time, he was shot in the heart with an arrow, and the emperor only sent an imperial physician over; he did not personally visit the residence to examine him even once.
Even when Zhang Zhongwei came today, although he said something about the Emperor being worried about his injuries, she knew that it was just Zhang Zhongwei testing the waters on behalf of the old Emperor.
