Lao Zhu suffered all kinds of hardships in his life. When he was young, his family was destroyed. After becoming a monk, he was forced to travel around and beg for a living. Later, he finally joined the rebel army and married his wife, but was suspicious of his boss. In the end, he finally set up his own business, defeated all the powerful enemies and unified the world, becoming the first person in history to go from beggars to emperors.

However, before Lao Zhu enjoyed a few years of blessings, he helped him support his family's good wife since he was a rampant, but he left him early. Compared to his family's destruction when he was young, the death of his first wife's death hit him even more. It can even be seen as a turning point during Lao Zhu's reign.

But Lao Zhu never dreamed that in his later years, he would have to bear a bigger blow.

First, his eldest son, who was extremely respected, died suddenly, and then he was resurrected. But before he could be happy, his granddaughter actually wanted to kill his son. Such great sorrow and great sorrow made Lao Zhu's heart rise and fall. Even if Lao Zhu is strong, he is still as if he is struck by lightning now, and he is stunned and has no reaction for a long time.

Princess Pucheng looked calm at this time, and even felt a sense of relief. Since she returned to Xi'an three years ago, in order to survive in the hands of her tyrannical father, she learned to hide her emotions. Whether it was happiness or sadness, she would never show it.

But today she didn't plan to disguise herself anymore. She had done the work herself. Even if Li Jie agreed to hide it for her, she couldn't deceive herself. The shadow of father-killing will always be with her. Especially in front of Li Jie, an insider, she often felt like she couldn't raise her head, so it would be better to tell her openly. As for whether to kill or cut, you can't do it!

Li Jie behind him was secretly anxious. Princess Pucheng's actions were completely beyond his expectations. He didn't stop him. As for what Lao Zhu would react after he knew about this, he could not predict it at all. If Lao Zhu was furious, he really wanted to kill Princess Pucheng, how should he persuade him to stop him?

At this moment, Old Zhu suddenly stood up and reached out to take off the waist knife hanging on the wall. This scared Li Jie and immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Your Majesty, calm down..."

However, as soon as Li Jie said, he heard the sound of "Cang Cang~", Lao Zhu had already drawn his sword in his hand. Princess Pucheng did not resist at all when he saw his grandfather's actions. Instead, he closed his eyes and raised his little face slightly, and two lines of tears also slid from his face.

Then a sword flashed. Li Jie wanted to rush forward to stop him, but there was no time. However, after the long sword fell, there was no blood spurting. Instead, a long strand of hair fell. Only then did Li Jie realize that Lao Zhu's sword had just passed Pu Cheng's neck, and did not hurt her, but cut off a strand of her long hair.

Princess Pucheng opened her eyes in surprise at this time. When she saw her grandfather retracting her waist knife, she also looked shocked. She thought she was dead this time, but she didn't expect her grandfather to not kill her.

"Killing your father is an unforgivable crime, but I think you are guilty of your first crime and it is understandable. I will take you to the sect's house to wait for the death. Are you convinced?" Old Zhu stood with his knife in his hand, and the expression on his face seemed very calm, but he didn't know if he was really calm or the calm before the storm came?

"The granddaughter convinced!" Princess Pucheng bowed and said, no matter how many reasons she had, killing her father was a serious crime that was untolerable. She had just made the determination to die.

Lao Zhu then turned his head and looked at Li Jie and asked, "Does the prince know about this?"

"I don't know, I didn't dare tell him!" Li Jie was stunned for a moment before answering. He didn't expect that Lao Zhu would become so calm after hearing this, completely different from his previous angry appearance.

"Does anyone else know except you two?" Lao Zhu asked again, his eyes flashing with a bit of murderous intent. If others knew, he would never let anyone who knew about it stay in the world.

"No more, except for the two of us, only Your Majesty, you know!" Li Jie hurriedly replied that it was just because of the crime that Zhu Biao almost died suddenly. If he knew that Pucheng County was the main poisoning Zhu Cheng, he might be angry to death on the spot.

"Very good, this matter has been over here. I don't want to hear any rumors about this matter in the future!" Lao Zhu said decisively again.

Li Jie finally woke up after hearing this. Lao Zhu didn't want to make his family's scandal come true. After all, if Princess Pucheng wanted to poison Zhu Cheng and spread it, it would definitely become the biggest scandal in the royal family, and Lao Zhu would be the most embarrassing at that time.

The reason why Lao Zhu is so calm now is probably because he completely switched to the identity of an emperor to deal with this matter. Only in this way can he abandon the influence of his emotions and make the most rational judgment.

"I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will never be heard!" Li Jie immediately promised that there were only three insiders in total, and Lao Zhu was the person who was least willing to see the news leaked. As the person involved, Princess Pucheng would not make any comments casually, so as long as Li Jie didn't say it, the news would be rotten in the belly of the three.

"Very good, you guys retreat, I'm tired!" Zhu Yuanzhang sat down again, then waved his hand powerlessly. There were too many things that happened this day, and he wanted to be alone.

Li Jie and Pu Cheng agreed and then retreated together. However, when they walked out of the warm pavilion, the two stopped at the same time.

"Why do you want to tell Your Majesty?" Li Jie asked on his own initiative, but he still couldn't understand this question.

"I'm tired too, and I don't want to carry this heavy shackle anymore!" Princess Pucheng replied in a low voice.

"Although Your Majesty doesn't want to make things worse, he is only temporarily detaining you in the clan's house, but it does not mean that the matter is over. Your Majesty may feel disgusted with you in the future!" Li Jie said again.

"It doesn't matter. I'm a miserable woman, unlike my cousin..." Princess Pucheng suddenly stopped and then smiled and said, "If you get married to your cousin in the future, don't forget to invite me to have a wedding banquet!"

After saying that, Princess Pucheng bowed to Li Jie, then turned around and entered the palace. While the people from the clan’s house had not arrived yet, she wanted to meet her cousin Zhu Yuning. Compared to Li Jie, she had more words to talk to her cousin.

Looking at the lonely back of Princess Pucheng when she left, Li Jie also sighed. Born in the imperial family was originally something that everyone envied, but thinking about Princess Pucheng's experiences was really unenviable.

There were too many things happening on this day. Not to mention Lao Zhu who was over 60 years old, even Li Jie felt extremely tired at this time. Maybe he didn't feel it just now, but after relaxing, Li Jie immediately felt weak all over and dizzy in his mind. He didn't want anything now, just wanted to find a bed to lie down and have a good sleep.

At that moment, Li Jieqiang was energetic and left the imperial city. As soon as he left the city gate, he heard a familiar voice shouting: "Cousin, you have calculated it!"

When Li Jie heard the sound, he saw that it was his cousin Liu Yi, which made him happy. He immediately stepped forward. Liu Yi was very happy to see him and pulled him into the carriage.

"My father and the others should have returned to the capital now, right?" Although Li Jie was sleepy and tired, he still insisted on asking at this time. It was said that when he was back, his parents should be coming to pick him up. Even if they didn't come, they should send someone to come.

"Cousin, you probably don't know yet. There is a huge happy event on my aunt!" Liu Yi said again with a gaze at this time.

"What kind of happy event?" Li Jie blinked and asked.

"You have a younger brother!" Liu Yi replied with a sarcastic look.

"What?" Li Jie was immediately lost when he heard this, and immediately asked with wide eyes wide open and looked in disbelief.

"Just last time you left Fengyang, your uncle and the others were about to set off to return to the capital, but my aunt suddenly realized that she was pregnant. Just two months ago, my aunt gave birth to a younger brother in her hometown in Dingyuan County. She originally wanted to write to you, but you were unsure of whereabouts on the road and could not deliver the letter at all!" Liu Yi said excitedly again.

People in this era believe in having more children and more blessings, but Li Zhu and his wife only have one son like Li Jie. And since Li Jie was born, Mrs. Li never responded again. Even though Li Zhu later took Aunt Zhao as her concubine, she only gave birth to a daughter like Dier. As a result, no one expected that Li Jie had grown up and Mrs. Li had another boy, which was simply a miracle.

"My mother gave birth to a younger brother for me?" Li Jie looked disbelief when he heard this. He thought that Zhu Biao's resurrection from the dead was already exciting enough, but he didn't expect that there was something more exciting here!

"I can't believe it at first, but that's the case. My aunt's letter said that my uncle was so happy at that time that she decided not to come to the capital. After all, with my aunt's age and being pregnant, it's really not suitable to travel long distances. Now that the child is born, it's not convenient to take the child on the way, so they still live in Dingyuan County." Liu Yi looked at Li Jie's shocked look and said proudly, and he knew that Li Jie would have such a reaction.

"Age-aged women should be careful, and babies should be more careful!" Li Jie said dizzyly. He didn't know whether to be happy or something else. Although this was a happy event, he always felt a little uncomfortable. It was not bad to have a cute sister like Dier before, but now he suddenly had a stinky younger brother, which made Li Jie feel at a loss for a moment.

"By the way, your brother has not yet named a name. My aunt and uncle couldn't think of any good names for a while, so I wrote a letter to ask me to ask you for your opinion. What name do you think should be named?" Liu Yi asked excitedly again at this time.

"Name?" Li Jie blinked when he heard this, then raised the corner of his mouth and said, "The names of our generation all have the word "cao". I think it's simpler, so why not just call it Li Cao!"

"Who can use the word grass as your name?" Liu Yi said laughing and crying when he heard this.

"Is Li Cao not good? Why not call him Li Ku or Li Dang..." Li Jie suddenly lit up and said again, "I think it's not bad to call him Li Ju. Ju, one of the four gentlemen among flowers, Tao Yuanming's favorite, has a deep meaning!"
