"Why did he go to the Jinyiwei Yamen?"

Zhu Ying asked doubtfully, it was the old man's idea for Lan Yu to come back, so he should meet him first. Even if he didn't go through the old man, he couldn't go to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

The Royal Guard said, "Your Highness, it is Chang Sen, the third son of the Chang family, who has been imprisoned in the Royal Guard prison. The Duke of Liang went there to ask the government to release Chang Sen."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying couldn't help but frown. He didn't have a very good impression of Lan Yu to begin with. It was too arrogant for him to break into the Jinyiwei Yamen.

But after all, the Chang Mansion is his grandmother's home, and Lan Yu is his uncle. It is reasonable for the Jinyiwei to send someone to inform him, as this is considered a relationship with his mother's family.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying still asked, "What did my uncle do to be locked up in prison?"

After all, he is his uncle, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Zhu Ying still plans to ask first and try his best to help.

Hearing the question, the Jinyiwei hesitated for a while before saying, "Your Highness, it was because Chang Sen, Zhou Ji and others offended your Highness last time on the Qinhuai River that they were arrested and imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison as a lesson."

Zhu Ying was stunned when he heard this.

Of course he remembered what happened along the Qinhuai River. That was his first time there with Zhu Gaochi and Xu Miaojin.

Unexpectedly, his interest was disturbed by a playboy. It was at that time that Zhu Ying realized that in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there were still playboys who dared to rob good girls. It was unbelievable.

Even someone as arrogant as Duke of Liang Lan Yu didn't dare to cause any trouble in the capital. Ministers of the third rank and above in the court and their descendants had to keep their tails between their legs and behave cautiously.

Who gave him the courage to behave like this? He is going to kill his father.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Ying said helplessly, "Prepare the horses. I'm going to the Jinyiwei Yamen."

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Ying had no choice. After all, all those involved were from her mother's family, her uncle, and her great-uncle. The most important thing was her own business.

If the matter gets really out of hand, it would be embarrassing for myself.

It would definitely be too late to ride the carriage, so even if he rode directly there, he was really worried that his uncle Lan Yu would lead his men to attack the Jinyiwei Yamen.

If such a thing really happened, there would be no way he could protect him.

In Zhu Ying's opinion, such a thing was very likely to happen. At the beginning, when Lan Yu was returning from the northern expedition, he arrived at Xifeng Pass at night. The officials guarding the pass failed to open the gate in time to receive him, so Lan Yu ordered his soldiers to destroy the pass and break in.

Zhu Ying set off straight away. Zhang Bo had already arranged a horse at the door, and Ye Yueqing and Zhao Xiangxi followed behind him.

"Just stay at home." Zhu Ying instructed Zhao Xiangxi.

"Yes, Boss."

Zhao Xiangxi heard this, and a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say more. She was just a maid.

This is completely different from what Ye Yueqing said at the beginning. She said at the beginning that she would become the concubine of the Dong family.

Of course, Ye Yueqing has also come to the boss's place now, still as the Princess of Goryeo, but she is still treated as a maid.

The most important thing is that she sadly discovered that her beauty seemed to have little effect in front of her boss.

Zhao Xiangxi, who had just arrived here and was not familiar with the place, did not dare to show it too obviously. As the legitimate daughter of Fengyang Zhao family, she knew clearly that there were still upright people in this world who were not tempted by beauty.

This is obviously what the boss means to her in her mind.

As the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty, he is able to build up a secret force outside. His ambition is too lofty.

However, it was also because of this that Zhao Xiangxi understood why the entire Goryeo was controlled by the "boss".

With the Ming Empire as its backer, the resources it possesses are fully capable of meeting this standard, and it may even have a large staff to advise it.

Looking at the figures of Dongjia, Ye Yueqing, and many guards riding away on horseback, Zhao Xiangxi's eyes revealed envy.

"The Dong family is the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor, so he must be the future Ming emperor. Then, Ye Yueqing is very likely to be the future Ming empress."

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangxi felt a little suffocated. Her original idea was to come into contact with the Ming royal family and enter the palace.

Although the process is a bit tortuous, the result is similar, or even better.

Oh, that's not right.

Zhao Xiangxi suddenly realized a problem.

I am now Ye Yueqing's maid, a personal maid. According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, I can be considered a dowry maid.

The maids who came as a dowry were basically the maids who shared the same room with the emperor.

According to the status of the boss, she would at least have a position as a concubine after ascending the throne. In any case, in terms of beauty, Zhao Xiangxi was not inferior to anyone else.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangxi suddenly became very energetic and her mind was completely opened.

He was the future emperor of the Ming Empire, the man in control of the Goryeo Kingdom behind the scenes. As his maid, I was worried that the Fengyang Zhao family would not be able to regain their glory.

…

"Do you know who is the person you are holding in prison?"

"That is my nephew, the third son of the King of Kaiping. If he has committed a crime, I will not say much and will handle it impartially. Now you have detained my nephew in prison without any charges."

"In this Ming capital, do you Jinyiwei still have the laws of the Ming Dynasty in your eyes?"

Lan Yu had never thought of leading people to attack the Jinyiwei Yamen.

You should know that the location of the Jinyiwei Yamen is next to the Five Military Commandery and in front of the main gate of the Ming Imperial Palace.

Even if he was crazy, he couldn't possibly lead troops here. That would be no different from directly rebelling.

Sitting in the lobby of the Jinyiwei Yamen, Lan Yu scolded the pacification envoy Song Zhong.

As soon as they arrived at the Jinyiwei Yamen, Song Zhong came out to receive them directly. When Lan Yu asked about Chang Sen's situation, Song Zhong hesitated and could not explain clearly.

"Please calm down, Duke Liang. It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but the connection is too complicated and I don't know where to start."

Song Zhong said with a wry smile.

He has already sent someone to notify Commander Jiang Li. Now it is Jiang Li's time to get off work, so he should be here soon.

In fact, as the Jinyiwei pacification envoy, Song Zhong was directly under the command of His Majesty, which should not be the case. Although Lan Yu had great authority in the army, the Jinyiwei could completely ignore him.

Lan Yu couldn't do anything to him, and no one else could interfere with the Jinyiwei.

However, when Song Zhong joined the army earlier, he was under the command of Chang Yuchun. For a long time, he was Chang Yuchun's soldier and obeyed Lan Yu's orders.

In a sense, Lan Yu was also his former superior.

Upon seeing this, Lan Yu waved his hand and the guards who followed him left the door. Then Lan Yu glanced at Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng followed him out without hesitation.

Many Jinyiwei looked at Song Zhong. Song Zhong nodded slightly and also walked out of the door.

After the gate was closed, Lan Yu said, "Song Zhong, I won't embarrass you. Tell me what's going on and who is involved. It can't be His Majesty. I don't think Chang Sen has the courage or the opportunity to do that."

"No matter which prince it is, it shouldn't be possible."

Hearing the question from the Duke of Liang, Song Zhong still smiled bitterly, but he had to say a few words of useful information, otherwise he would not be able to pass this level.

After thinking for a while, Song Zhong said helplessly: "Duke Liang, in fact, this matter is still your family's business. As for who is involved, I really can't say it, and I dare not say it."

"Duke Liang, don't worry. Although Master Chang Sen is in our Jinyiwei prison, please rest assured that the brothers are treating him well and will never let Master Chang Sen suffer any injustice."

"As for the matter of releasing the person, we still have to wait for some time."

After hesitating for a moment, Song Zhong said again: "Although your majesty did not say it explicitly, it is probably the same meaning."

In Song Zhong's opinion, these words were already the limit, but Lan Yu was confused.

What do you mean by family affairs? This is probably what Your Majesty means.

After talking for so long, there is still no charge. To put it bluntly, with Lan Yu and the influence of the Chang Mansion, even if he had offended Prince of Yan Zhu Di and Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen, he would not be detained arbitrarily without even a charge.

If I had offended His Majesty, I would definitely not do this. Now that we can have a feast at home, there is no need to be so particular.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu said angrily: "If you don't want to say it, then don't beat around the bush and fool me like this."

"Your Jinyiwei Yamen is so powerful that you won't release the person even though I'm here. Do you want me to report to His Majesty right now before you release the person?"

Faced with the Duke of Liang's sudden temper, Song Zhong felt a little unhappy, but he could only put on a smile.

As of now, Lan Yu is the uncle of His Royal Highness Changsun. His sudden appearance in the capital must be the order of His Majesty. Others may not know the meaning, but Song Zhong should know it.

Just when Song Zhong was in a dilemma, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Then a voice sounded: "Since the Duke of Liang said to release him, Governor Song should release him. He has been detained for many days, which should be enough."

Song Zhong looked at what was said and was shocked. He then bowed and said respectfully, "I obey your order."

Lan Yu heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice and subconsciously turned his head to look. When he saw that very familiar face, he suddenly froze.

"Your Highness! No, that's not right. You are not. Who are you? Which prince are you? How can you look so much like Your Highness?"

Lan Yu was stunned and spoke incoherently.

As a warrior, his eyesight was very good. His first impression was that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he soon saw the difference, with many characters flashing through his mind.

He was absolutely certain that there was absolutely no one in the palace who looked so much like the Crown Prince.

But there is no need to think too much, this is definitely the Crown Prince's offspring, Lan Yu can be completely sure of it.

"Uncle, long time no see. How come you don't recognize me after all these years? When I was a child, you held me in your arms."

Zhu Ying looked at Lan Yu, who looked doubtful, and said with a smile. His tone was calm and natural, as if they really hadn't seen each other for many years.

Lan Yu's eyes widened as he stared at Zhu Ying's face.

After a long time, a figure that had disappeared for ten years gradually overlapped with the person in front of him, and his facial features and eyes began to become clearer in his memory.

"Nephew, this... How is this possible? It's really you, Xiaoling, Prince Yu, it's you, it's really you, Xiongying, is it you? You're really back!"

Gradually, Lan Yu began to become excited.

The matter of the Xiaoling Mausoleum had already made him very confused, especially as it was related to the tomb of His Royal Highness Prince Yu.

As Zhu Xiongying's uncle, he watched his own nephew being buried. Lan Yu, who was a sentimental person, burst into tears on the spot.

For Lan Yu, it is impossible to forget this memory even if ten years have passed.

So after Zhu Ying called him uncle, Lan Yu quickly remembered the previous rumors.

After finally coming to his senses, Lan Yu's eyes were filled with ecstasy.

As for the emperor's sudden call for him back, Lan Yu had always speculated that it must be related to the establishment of a crown prince. The most popular candidates were Prince of Yan Zhu Di and the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.

In fact, Lan Yu wanted to support Zhu Yunhu more, but Yunhu, the nephew, did not seem to be valued by His Majesty in the palace.

The Crown Prince left so suddenly that by the time Lan Yu got the news it was too late.

Besides, Your Majesty is still alive, and arguing about it is just a joke.

Lan Yu has always been worried about his future situation. If Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, he is afraid that the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty will have little to do with him.

Lan Yu, who has been living in the army, wants to fight on the battlefield more often. After all, he is still young compared to the older generation of generals.

When he saw Zhu Ying this time, Lan Yu suddenly saw all his hope.

In fact, he had no idea whether his nephew was real or not.

Given His Majesty's character, Lan Yu knew that he must have been summoned back after a very thorough investigation.

What else is there to think about?

Besides, if they weren’t the Crown Prince’s biological son, who else could look so similar?

And it is impossible that he is an illegitimate child. Lan Yu is very clear about this point.

"Uncle, my uncle's matter has something to do with me. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members don't recognize each other. Song Zhong, please release my uncle."

Zhu Ying first explained to Lan Yu, and then gave instructions to Song Zhong.

"I obey your command." Song Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. If His Royal Highness Changsun had not come, he would not know how to face the wrath of the Duke of Liang.

"Uncle, this is not the agreed place. Let's find a place to talk." Zhu Ying said to Lan Yu.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Your Highness." Lan Yu said two "OK"s in a row, obviously not yet recovered from the excitement.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "Let's go to Chang's house. If your grandmother knew about you, she would be very happy."

Zhu Ying did not hesitate and nodded in agreement. She had to face her mother's relatives, the sooner the better.

At this time, Song Zhong was about to call for someone to release Chang Sen, but Lan Yu snorted coldly and said:

"No need to bother Song Zhenfu. Just keep him locked up. Let that good-for-nothing kid stay in jail for a few more days to wake up and learn some lessons. Otherwise, he will become blind and not recognize his own family members."
