"It should have been like this a long time ago. I thought that he would wake up in the future. It's not feasible to live in a remote corner of the West Palace, but later on I realized that if you didn't beat him up, he would be a cheap person. "

Therefore, Former Empress Wu did not plan to leave Zhu Youtang alone, as he had already expressed his goodwill to him. Now, behind Zhu Youtang were the Empress Dowager Zhou and Shao Chen Fei, as well as Consort Xian Bai. There were already quite a few people in the palace who could speak.

The Wan had already done it once, but it was hard to guarantee that the Wan wouldn't do it again before she died. So, in order to be safe, the best way was to let the Empress Dowager Zhou bring Zhu Youtang out of the West Palace.

But Former Empress Wu was very disappointed with Zhu Youtang's performance. Empress Dowager Zhou would never accept such an unworthy performance from a prince that was of no value. This way, it can be considered as having a bad effect on him. "

Cai He was still a little concerned about Zhu Youtang, but she felt that it was a little too excessive. This servant still wants to see if Master is feasible. "

"Empress Dowager Zhou is extremely unsatisfied with Zhu Youtang now. Otherwise, why do you think that Zhang Min would appear fewer and fewer times? Even if Zhu Youtang had already fallen into the water and fainted, there were still a shortage of medicinal ingredients. Zhang Min has also been dragging it out the entire time, and the main reason is still because he wanted to. "

From the moment Ji Yune was sent here by the Consort Wan, Zhang Min had always been by his side. After busily helping Ji Yune pack up her things, he even intentionally arranged for Ji Yune to sit by his side. All of this, if there was really no trace of Empress Dowager Zhou, he would not believe it at all.

"Zhu Youtang was born, although he wasn't personally guarding it. But Zhang Min's foster son had also always been in the West Palace, hadn't he? After knowing that it's a prince, the number of servants in West Palace have decreased by quite a bit, right? "

"What's more, when it comes to the things that will nourish the body after Ji Yune, you can't really be naive enough to think that it's because of this servant, Zhang Min, that you have sympathy, right?" After Ji Yune produced it, her body was not in a good condition. Zhang Min sent Old Ginseng and tonics.

Even if an old eunuch was pampered, he wouldn't have so many good things, right? As Zhu Youtang started to eat, although there were still shortages of items in the West Palace. But at least he wouldn't starve Zhu Youtang to death. Besides, the quality of those things was good.

"Master, you said that Zhang Min is unable to see anyone because Empress Dowager Zhou is too disappointed." Cai He was not stupid, the Former Empress Wu had already explained everything clearly. Naturally, he could also think of the depths.

Zhu Youtang, who was listening in from the door, did not expect that there would be more changes to what he originally thought. If his life couldn't go on as he had planned, then he wouldn't need to live anymore.

And all of this was only for the sake of being able to become someone that the Empress Dowager Zhou liked. Zhu Youtang didn't know what else he could accept. Or perhaps, there was something that he had not discovered.

"Zhang Min is only working for the Empress Dowager Zhou, after all, he isn't the only grandson of the Empress Dowager Zhou. However, right now, he hadn't progressed at all. Empress Dowager Zhou does not like useless grandsons, if I do not, I am afraid Zhu Youtang will not be able to continue living. "

After receiving today's second wave of impact, Zhu Youtang no longer wished to tangle with these things. So, sneaking in and out. After Zhu Youtang left, he planned to organize his thoughts.

"Go, take a look at what's going on with Zhu Youtang. I just wanted to hit him, not really cripple him. "

"Mother, I'm sorry! All these years, it was my son who was bad to you." Those serving Zhu Youtang, were all people that Zhang Min himself had arranged for him to be reliable.

Only, the person Zhang Min asked his foster son to arrange was secretly loyal to the Consort Wan. It was a good thing that no one followed Zhu Youtang when he was at Former Empress Wu's side. Therefore, Zhu Youtang's identity was also a secret that was not a secret.

"What's wrong with you, kid? You want me to plead with you?" Ji Yune also knew that the Former Empress Wu always wanted Zhu Youtang to become a genius, which was why he had always been calling him Zhu Youtang. But Zhu Youtang had not truly learned anything at the moment, and regarding this matter, Ji Yune had actually never expressed her opinion.

"Therefore, Ji Yune originally thought that she was going to look for him to plead for mercy on behalf of the Former Empress Wu. What? Is teacher really angry? " Seeing that Zhu Youtang had not said a word, Ji Yune thought that the matter was very serious.

"No, no. Only now did I realize that I had failed my mother and my teacher. I shouldn't be like this. All of this shouldn't have happened. This kind of thing, is not right. "

As Zhu Youtang spoke, he hugged Ji Yune and broke down crying.

After going through the Former Empress Wu's beating, Zhu Youtang finally realised that he couldn't bear to let the thought of him off the hook. Zhang Min had been treating Zhu Youtang pretty well these few years, so Zhu Youtang thought that it was natural for him to treat Zhu Youtang like this.

But now, Zhu Youtang realised that this was just like almond cakes with flies. Zhu Youtang felt that it was a pity to throw it away, but he couldn't eat it like he had in the past.

Therefore, when Zhang Min did not appear, Zhu Youtang felt better in his heart. It was as though he was someone who was good to him and had appeared by his side. Even the Former Empress Wu was no exception.

"Teacher, I have something that I don't understand, please enlighten me." The next day, Zhu Youtang went to Former Empress Wu's chamber to ask her about the situation.

"What kind of position do I have as a teacher?"

Zhu Youtang flipped one night. In his five years of life, he had never suffered like this before. In the past, his heart had been tormented by food and drink, but now, it was different. This feeling of being uncertain about himself!

"Am I a tool for you?" A tool that can leave the West Palace? " After experiencing these shocks, Zhu Youtang no longer dared to think much more highly of herself. Right now, the only thought in his mind was to find out how much of a use he still had.

"So what can you hear now? The truth is still a lie. " Former Empress Wu turned the buddhist beads on his wrist, his expression was extremely calm. He didn't change his words because of Zhu Youtang's doubt.

"I, I don't know." Zhu Youtang wanted to retreat, but all of a sudden, Zhu Youtang did not want to know what she was really like to Former Empress Wu.

"I don't want to hide it from you. When I first saw your mother, I had an idea. Even now, this thought had not changed. It is to rely on you to achieve my goal of leaving the Cold Palace, that is what you guessed. "

"You can already guess correctly, it can be seen that you've made progress in these past few years, right?" Zhu Youtang never thought that the Former Empress Wu would talk about him in such a way.

"Now that you're able to think about what the people around you are up to. Clearly, you are not really hopelessly stupid. What, have you already thought about it? "

Former Empress Wu had to know what kind of condition Zhu Youtang was in right now. "If the harem cannot live to the point where it seems stupid, then the harem can only be really stupid." I'm going to prepare another plan for you. If you're ready, we'll start learning. "

"Alright, I'm ready." Zhu Youtang wiped the sweat that did not exist and began sitting in front of the short table.

"Is our family not good for you? You actually placed your bets in the dark and have your heart on the line! "

So it turned out that Empress Dowager Zhou had always been brooding over Prince Tzu's death. Thus, even though Prince Tzu was buried, he did not let this matter go. Hence, not only did Zhang Min have to protect Zhu Youtang in the West Palace, he also had to investigate the death of the Prince Tzu.

Zhang Min knew the position of the Prince Tzu in the heart of the Empress Dowager Zhou, so he did not dare to lower his guard. This matter was personally investigated by Zhang Min herself, and in the end, Zhang Min never thought that there would come a day when he would find out that his foster son had betrayed him.

Empress Dowager Zhou had always suspected that Prince Tzu was poisoned by the Consort Wan's secret medicine, although the imperial physician had said that he couldn't find the poison. However, the Empress Dowager Zhou did not believe him, so Zhang Min followed the instructions of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

The main place to investigate was the imperial kitchens of the East Palace, especially the chefs at the head. As a result, Zhang Min slowly moved the banner around and borrowed the East Factory's banners from Zhu Jianshen for torture.

In the end, the imperial chef couldn't hold it in anymore and said that everything he cooked for the crown prince was given to him by someone. Once these names were revealed, Zhang Min showed it to the imperial physician. In the mouth of the imperial physician, Empress Dowager Zhou finally knew how Prince Tzu died.

All things are at odds with each other, and the food is the same. Some things can't be mixed up together, it is eating a leathery egg can't eat potatoes. Others might not know much about these things, but if there was someone who knew medicine, these things would not be discussed any further.

After the Empress Dowager Zhou found out about this, he thought that Zhang Min would still serve the Emperor in name. In order to not make it difficult for Zhang Min, he sent the last investigation, Empress Dowager Zhou, to the palace supervisor, He Da, to look into the matter.

"Tell me, why is your Royal Grandmother still holding onto your royal brother's death and not letting go of it until now?" After telling Zhu Youtang about Prince Tzu's investigation results, the Former Empress Wu wanted Zhu Youtang to tell him what kind of opinion he had on this matter.

"I think, Royal Grandmother wants to give Imperial Consort Xian an explanation. After all, if Prince Tzu was truly killed by Consort Wan, then they would be irreconcilable. After all, there will be hatred for the murder of my son. "

Zhu Youtang had never thought that Zhang Min had not been able to see anyone these days. The case had even been under investigation for several years.

"You make some sense, but not all. Most of the time, you have to stand at a higher level to be able to get what you want. Now, you're still not there, so you need to learn more. "

Former Empress Wu also did not tell Zhu Youtang about Empress Dowager Zhou's idea. Only Zhu Youtang would be able to find out the deep meaning of this if he did.

"Father He, what's the matter?" He did not know what He Da wanted with him in order to recruit him to the East Factory, even though he felt that he could not find out what he had done. However, the servants of the harem were all very afraid of the East Factory, so from the bottom of their hearts, they did not like its gloominess.

"You are quite capable, to be able to leave a shadow in the Eastern Palace. Tell me, why did you go to the East Palace? "

Although He Da was called his godfather by others, He Da was not their godfather. It was just that because He Da had a good relationship with Zhang Min, he did the same thing. But now that it was about the Empress Dowager Zhou, He Da naturally had to be official.

He Da was not like Zhang Min who had a layer of kinship with other people, so Zhang Min subconsciously believed in the way things went. Therefore, Zhang Min had already started to believe in some clues regarding the way they were taken from him. Therefore, Zhang Min did not suspect anything.

But He Da was different. Zhang Min did not suspect anything, but He Da suspected something.

Knowing that this matter was related to Eastern Palace's Qing Fang, He Da felt that there was an even greater problem with Zhang Min's godson.

"How could that be!?" Godfather, you must have found the wrong person. "How could he do something as if he was sorry to his godfather?" Along the way, he was somewhat nervous that He Da actually found him. Then, what should he do now?
