Watching Zhu Xu rushing away from their trap, a group of men in black were so shocked that they didn't know how to speak.

"Head, is the dog emperor aware of us?" a man in black said uneasy.

"No, is it because the trap over there was exposed? It shouldn't be, it hasn't been released yet..." said another man in black.

The leading man in black looked at Zhu Xu's disappearing back and frowned, saying, "This time it won't work. Go quickly. The aftermath must be clean and you can't show any flaws."

"Yes!" Several men in black responded and quickly left quietly.

Zhu Xu returned to the camp, gave a few words, and rode his horse to Yunwu Mountain.

Yunwu Mountain is not unfamiliar to the Ming Dynasty royal family. There have been many people living in the harem today. Recently, even if it is the Madam Fengsheng Keshi.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a good place to escape the summer heat.

Zhu Xu came in a hurry, and the sister Zhang Shu, who was greeted by Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhang Yun.

"No need to be nervous," Empress Dowager Zhang comforted Zhu Xu's nervousness and said, "Although the queen has given birth a little prematurely, it is not a big deal. The child and the adults are fine."

Zhu Xu nodded and walked into the yard quickly. The palace maids and the inner prisoners came and went in a hurry. When they saw Zhu Xu leaving, they saluted them one after another.

Zhu Xu seemed to be unaware of anything and walked into Zhang Yun's room.

Two days have passed, and Zhang Yun's expression is much better now. He is about to get up when he sees Zhu Xu coming in.

"Lying down." Zhu Xu walked over quickly, pressed Zhang Yun's shoulder, and whispered: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Yun lay down, his face filled with halo, full of happiness and satisfaction, and said, "This is what I should do."

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Yun's expression and felt a little relieved, then his eyes were on the baby in the swaddling clothes beside her.

The little guy's face was still a little flat, his eyes closed, and he was still sleeping soundly.

Zhu Xu wrapped it gently, the little guy's mouth moved, his eyes trembled slightly, but he still didn't open it, as if he was muttering in a dream.

Zhu Xu held this child and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't explain it clearly and always felt closer.

This is his eldest son, the destined crown prince, and his bloodline and ideal successor!

Zhu Xu gently shook the little guy, looked at his little face, and was fascinated for a moment, and his mind seemed to be floating for decades away, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Zhang Yun looked at Zhu Xu's expression, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and felt relaxed.

Zhang Shu stood beside Zhu Xu, looked at the little nephew in his arms, and muttered: "It's so ugly..."

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "It's like this when she was born. After ten days and a half months, she will get better. I remember when Yongning was born, she was even ugly than our prince. I wanted to throw it away..."

It seemed like a casual sentence, and a needle fell in the room could be heard. Zhang Yun pursed his lips and looked at Zhu Xu carefully.

Queen Mother Zhang rarely calls herself "I" in front of her family, especially when she says that the child in Zhu Xu's arms is the prince, which is not something she can say casually.

According to the law and etiquette, this legitimate prince is the prince who is determined and cannot be refuted.

Of course, a grand ceremony of enfeoffment is needed to confirm it.

However, this matter is a bit unusual, that is, Zhu Xu is particularly fond of the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Ciye, who is already four years old and born, and is known to everyone in the court and the country, and even a little "outrageous".

Not only the adults in the outer court were worried, but the people in the harem were also very uneasy.

The East Palace has been the most terrifying place in political struggles since ancient times, especially during the Wanli period, where the "national foundation dispute" that lasted for more than ten years is not far away, and no one wants to come again.

The seemingly unintentional sentence of Queen Mother Zhang actually asked Zhu Xu to nod and establish the identity and status of this baby, according to the hearts of all people in the world.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang ignored political affairs, as the widow of the late emperor, she would never want to see the battle for the throne appear, and she would not want Zhu Xu to be confused and lay the root of great trouble.

She stood beside Zhu Xu, with a solemn expression and a rare aggressive look at Zhu Xu.

Zhang Shu was not stupid either. When it came to the prince, she put away her naughty look, lowered her head, and looked at Zhu Xu quietly.

Zhu Xu held the child and swayed gently. He seemed to hear Empress Dowager Zhang's words and seemed to not understand them, and said, "I will send someone a message to the Hanlin Academy and ask them to give them a good name. My son, the name must be beautiful..."

Empress Dowager Zhang's heart sank. Seeing that Zhu Xu refused to give him the right words, she turned to look at Huan'er not far away and said lightly: "Where is Concubine Li?"

Huan'er was stunned and stepped forward and said, "Goddess back, Empress Li is at Empress Hai's place, Empress Hai is about to give birth."

Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand and said, "I ordered Concubine Li to come to see the Queen and the Prince."

Huan'er glanced at Zhu Xu and responded: "Yes."

Zhu Xu sighed in his heart, looked at the child, looked at Zhang Yun who was lying on the bed and was nervous, putting down the child and saying, "Okay, in a few years, when he grows up, I will enthrone the title."

Empress Dowager Zhang refused to give in and pressed forward and said, "How many years do you want?"

Zhu Xu thought about it and said, "It's three years."

Now that there are too many children who die, it is inevitable that there will be surprises. Empress Dowager Zhang silently and said, "Okay, just three years, Huan'er, you will pass the original words of the emperor and the palace to the cabinet, and ask them to remember them. Then remind the emperor not to forget."

Huan'er looked at Zhu Xu carefully, then quickly turned around and went out.

Zhu Xu put the child next to Zhang Yun without saying much.

This matter must be explained in the end, and that's fine.

Zhang Yun was quite nervous. She knew Zhu Xu very well and didn't like being forced the most, that is, Empress Dowager Zhang. If it were someone else, she would have dealt with it severely.

Zhu Xu touched her hair and said with a smile: "I'm here."

Zhang Yun's pretty face instantly smiled and looked at Zhu Xu with a soft "yes".

Empress Dowager Zhang felt relieved when she saw Zhu Xu's behavior. As long as the Eastern Palace was settled, the country would be perfect, and she also suffered from a big heart.

The queen had been born prematurely for a few days. Since Zhu Xu was here, she didn't go back. Hai Lanzhu was about to give birth, so Zhu Xu decided to stay with her for a while.

The words of Zhu Xu and Empress Dowager Zhang were soon polished and reached the ears of Bi Ziyan and others who were still hunting in the royal garden forest.

"Okay, okay, great!"

Even Bi Ziyan, who has always been serious, laughed happily and no longer holds the majesty of the chief assistant.

Sun Chengzong and others were also happy, and their faces were full of smiles.

The position of crown prince has always been a big stone in their hearts, especially the emperor's eldest son is getting older and the unique favor shown by the Qianqing Palace makes them even more uneasy, as if the "country between the foundation of the country" is in front of them again.

Now, Empress Dowager Zhang forced the emperor to make a promise that it would be difficult to change any more. Three years later, the emperor's legitimate son grew up, and everything would be settled with a canonization edict!

"The Empress Dowager has the legacy of Changsun, and is virtuous and kind. I have ignored it before..." For a while, Bi Ziyan held the teacup and smiled happily.

He hasn't been so happy for a long time, and he only feels unprecedented ease and comfort.
