Although it was somewhat strange, Zhu Yunying still summoned Zhu Yunzhuo to an audience. His younger brother had made progress over the years and was no longer as impoverished and constantly seeking handouts as he had been at the beginning of his reign.
Upon seeing Zhu Yunying, Zhu Yunhua immediately knelt down, his face contorted with grief, pleading, "Your Majesty, please save your humble brother!"
Zhu Yunying paused for a moment, then decided to ignore Zhu Yunzhuo. Zhu Yunzhuo's attempt to gain sympathy by feigning helplessness was not so simple. Besides, based on Zhu Yunying's understanding of his younger brother, Zhu Yunzhuo was incapable of causing any major trouble.

Seeing that Zhu Yunying remained silent, Zhu Yunwen said hesitantly, "We...we raised them outside!"
Zhu Yunying seemed to understand. This was indeed troublesome. The imperial clan had the imperial genealogy, and it was not easy for illegitimate children to enter the imperial clan!
Seeing that Zhu Yunying remained silent, Zhu Yunhuo could only continue, "Brother, I truly love her! Even though she was a merchant's wife who was jilted..."
Zhu Yunying jumped up instantly, "What?"
