Rumors spread all over the capital. The incident of whether Zhu Biao was rumored to be in Zhu Yunhu or Zhu Yunwen before his death also completely detonated the capital. After all, this kind of royal secret is very eye-catching, especially the rumors you can't resist. Instead, the more people ban it, the more people are.

However, the court would not allow such rumors to spread everywhere, so the Jinyiwei and the prefectures and counties made a lot of rumors to be spread. After all, a rumor is not constant, but is constantly added to the fire during the spreading process. The final rumor and the initial rumor may turn into two completely different rumors.

In fact, the best way to deal with such rumors is to let them go. As long as they are not used by those who are interested in the end, it will generally not take long to calm down. However, if the court comes forward to suppress it, it will have a counterproductive effect, and in the end it will only make the rumors more violent.

But this time the court took action to suppress it, and even the Jinyiwei was dispatched. In the eyes of outsiders, this is mainly because the rumors involve His Majesty the current emperor. The court naturally needs to take action under pressure. Of course, some people think that this may be a manifestation of Zhu Yunyu's guilt, so they believe the rumors more.

Even some officials in the court were affected by rumors. Of course, they did not dare to ask Zhu Yunxi for information, but they could secretly inquire about Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts. After all, Zhu Yunwen was indeed missing during this period, and no one in the palace had seen him. This also confirmed the rumors even more, so even the court was panic.

However, others did not know that the court's actions to suppress rumors were Li Jie's actions, or he did this on purpose, in order to follow the flow and make the rumor bigger, so that Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zicheng and others could do something earlier.

Li Jie no longer wants to waste so much. Although he is the one who takes the initiative, Zhu Yunyu has just ascended the throne and has too many things to deal with, especially Zhu Biao's funeral matters, so the sooner Zhu Yunwen's matters, the better.

Li Jie also guessed some of the plans of Zhu Yunwen and others, because the rumors appeared at that time, and the day when Lao Zhu's coffin was out of the capital three days later, the day when Lao Zhu's coffin was out of the capital. At that time, King Zhou and Mei Yin would lead the funeral team to escort Lao Zhu's coffin out of the city, and Zhu Yunhu would also go out of the city to see him off.

Such an important matter will definitely involve the great energy of the court. The army, Jinyiwei and others will all be dispatched. In this way, some of the people who can monitor the capital will definitely be transferred. Moreover, so many people left the city that day, and even the people will follow them to join in the fun, so it will definitely be in chaos at that time, and Zhu Yunwen and others will be able to leave the city while the chaos is in trouble.

"Mr. Concubine, this is the other party's open conspiracy!" Huang Hua slapped the table with a look of reluctance at this time. Although they had been prepared for a long time, now that the rumors were rumored and the coffin of Lao Zhu left the city, the difficulty of arresting Zhu Yunwen was immediately increased. He was not very sure now.

"It's okay, just try your best to do it!" Li Jie smiled as he tapped the table with his fingers, not seemingly worried about Zhu Yunwen at all.

"Mr. Concubine, are you prepared for other things?" Huang Hua couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Li Jie's confident appearance.

"I'll ask you, if you are that person, how can you go to Nanjing when you take advantage of the chaos? "Li Jie asked with a smile. Tomorrow is the day when Lao Zhu's coffin leaves the city, and it is also Zhu Yunwen's only chance to take advantage of the chaos to leave the city.

"This..." Huang Hua hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally clapped his hands, "The best way is of course to put on his makeup and become an ordinary person, and then sneak out of the city among the crowd watching the fun. When I get outside the city, I will be free. Whether by water or by land, I can reach Nanjing."

"It is indeed a good idea to pretend to be a commoner. After all, there are so many people leaving the city, so we must not investigate them one by one. I guess the other party thinks that too." Li Jie smiled again.

"That's it. If the other party escapes from the city while the chaos is in trouble, the sky will be high and the birds will fly. If the Jinyiwei wants to find someone in the vast sea of ​​people, it will probably be more difficult than climbing the sky." Huang Hua said helplessly again. Although the Jinyiwei has great ability, it is not omnipotent, otherwise Zhu Yunwen would have been pulled out of the city long ago.

"Don't worry, he will definitely not be able to escape. Tomorrow you will act according to the original plan and try to monitor the movements of the entire capital. In addition, tomorrow, Emperor Taizu's coffin will be from Zhengyang Gate and exit through Yongding Gate. There will be no investigation between these two city gates at that time, and you don't have to worry about it. But you should keep a close eye on the other city gates. If that person escapes from other city gates, your Majesty will punish you at that time!" Li Jie said coldly at the end.

Beijing City is divided into north and south cities, among which Zhengyang Gate is the main gate of the North City, which used to be the main gate of Beijing City, but now there is a Nancheng, so there is another Yongding Gate, and Lao Zhu's coffin passes through these two city gates.

"Don't worry, the prince consort. Except for Zhengyang Gate and Yongding Gate, I have already arranged a net of heaven and earth in other city gates. As long as the other party dares to go out through these city gates, I will definitely be able to catch people back!" Huang Hua immediately promised when he heard this.

Zhengyang Gate and Yongding Gate will be completely open tomorrow, and there will be no soldiers guarding the gate to investigate. This is also the most difficult thing for Huanghua. After all, without the cooperation of the soldiers guarding the gate, it is impossible for them to investigate so many people leaving the city with their Jinyiwei. Now, it is better not to worry about these two city gates, which will make him less pressure and he can concentrate his people on watching the other city gates.

"That's good. Being able to catch that person depends on our performance tomorrow. I have to go to the palace. You can prepare for tomorrow's business!" Li Jie stood up and prepared to leave at this time.

However, at this time, Huang Hua suddenly asked again: "Mr. Concubine, do you have other plans tomorrow? Do you need someone to send someone to cooperate?"

"No, you just need to take care of the affairs in the city!" Li Jie smiled slightly, then turned around and left after saying that.

Looking at Li Jie's departure, Huang Hua couldn't help but sigh helplessly. When Li Jie came to him, although he felt that this was a risky matter, he thought it was a good opportunity to make contributions. If he could show up in front of the new emperor, he might be able to continue to sit down as the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander.

But Huang Hua did not expect Zhu Yunwen to hide so deeply. It took him so long but he still couldn't find the other party. Now Li Jie obviously had other arrangements and refused to tell him that it would be best if he could catch Zhu Yunwen tomorrow. If he couldn't catch him, he might be given the credit this time to someone else, and he would also have an impression of being unfavorable on Zhu Yunwen.

Thinking of this, Huang Hua couldn't help but secretly hated him. Of course, he didn't dare to hate Zhu Yunxi and Li Jie. He hated Zhu Yunwen. Even now when he thought of Zhu Yunwen, he hated him so much that he was itchy. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "This kid can't be a rat, right? Otherwise, how could he hide so much?"

However, as soon as Huang Hua said that, he suddenly thought that Zhu Yunwen is the real brother of His Majesty. If he is a rat spirit, wouldn’t His Majesty?

When Huang Hua thought of this, he felt guilty and immediately looked around with vigilance. If he found someone eavesdropping, he would definitely kill someone to silence him.

In the small yard deep in Liyuan Hutong, Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the window, staring at a pomegranate tree outside the window. For him, he was almost like being in jail during this period. In order to avoid being seen by outsiders, he almost didn't even dare to go to the yard and could only stay in the room every day.

Originally, Zhu Yunwen wanted to use reading to kill time, but he soon discovered that under such circumstances, he could not see anything at all, and even sitting on a chair was a torment.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen had to give up the idea of ​​reading and kept walking around the room every day. In fact, he also wanted to lie down. After all, time would pass faster when he fell asleep, but he had no sleepiness at all. Even if he forced himself to fall asleep, he would be awakened by nightmares. Sometimes when he woke up in the middle of the night, he could only walk in the room and sometimes he would take advantage of the night to breathe in the yard, but he had to go back to the room and hide immediately before dawn.

It can be said that this period was the most tormenting time in Zhu Yunwen. In the end, he was extremely bored and anxious, and finally found a way to kill time, which was to count the leaves of the pomegranate tree outside the window every day, analyze the growth of each pomegranate branch, and even observe with his own eyes how a leaf grew up little by little.

"It's the last day!" Zhu Yunwen suddenly whispered, tomorrow will be the day when Lao Zhu's coffin came out of the capital, and it will be the day when Zhu Yunwen tried his best. Whether he could successfully escape from the capital depends on tomorrow's performance.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but show a nervous expression on his face. He actually didn't have much confidence in his plan to escape tomorrow. The main reason was that this escape was too hasty, and he was trapped here and could not move. He even could not contact Huang Zicheng and other confidants from time to time, so he could only send some information through secret.

In this case, tomorrow's entire escape plan was actually mainly planned by Huang Zicheng and others. Zhu Yunwen himself did not participate in it. It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yunwen was not sure. It was not that he did not believe in Huang Zicheng and other confidants, but that he knew the skills of Li Jie on the other side. He was almost certain that Li Jie would set up a net of heaven and earth tomorrow and wait for his identity to be exposed.

However, even though he knew there was danger, Zhu Yunwen could not wait any longer. After all, the longer the time delayed, the stronger the Zhu Yunyu's throne would be. If he did not arrive in Nanjing quickly, the people who supported him would gradually lose confidence. Even if he arrived in Nanjing safely, he would probably not have many people to respond.

When Zhu Yunwen thought of the above, he couldn't help but become irritated again. He was already in a very passive position, not to mention that Li Jie could still mobilize the power of the Jinyiwei in his hands, so he could only hide here like a mouse, and even dare not show his head.

"Tomorrow! You have to leave the capital no matter what!" Zhu Yunwen finally slapped the table and gritted his teeth. He had lived enough of this kind of fear and anxiety every day. If he hadn't had a dream in his heart, he would have been suffocated.

After making a decision in his heart, Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt that his originally irritable and uneasy heart slowly calmed down at this time. After all, no matter what, he would have to take a risk tomorrow. Since this is the case, no matter how much he is worried, it would be useless. It would be better to accumulate energy and make sufficient preparations for tomorrow.

After understanding the above, Zhu Yunwen was no longer worried. He immediately asked someone to prepare hot water, then took a bath, had a sumptuous supper, and finally fell asleep covered. This sleep was also very sweet. This was the first time he had slept so peacefully since he escaped from the imperial city.

The next day, Zhu Yunwen was woken up by the guards who took care of him, and then a middle-aged man who came here deliberately put on makeup and disguised Zhu Yunwen. After half an hour of busyness, Zhu Yunwen had gone from a tall young man to a middle-aged man with a beard. If he was not a very familiar person, he would probably not recognize him at all.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the mirror several times and was very satisfied with the middle-aged man's skills. At this time, the sky was already bright and the entire Liyuan Hutong began to become lively.

In fact, since the lockdown in the capital was lifted, Liyuan Hutong has returned to its former prosperity, and several stages sang all night long, even more lively than before. It seemed that it wanted to make up for the time it was delayed in the lockdown days.

Zhu Yunwen finally left the small yard where he had been hiding for more than ten days. When he left the alley, he quickly got into the many pedestrians in Liyuan Hutong. Looking at the crowds coming and going around, Zhu Yunwen also felt a strange sense of security. He used to think that there were too many people in the capital, but now these numerous people are probably impossible to check even if the Jinyiwei wants to check it.

However, Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to leave the city now. Instead, he hang out in Liyuan Hutong for a while and went to listen to the scene. Until there was a sudden noise on the street outside, someone shouting, "Emperor Taizu has left the capital", which also attracted many people to go to the street to watch the fun. After all, it is rare for the emperor to have funerals.

Zhu Yunwen also mingled among the crowd, and then was carried by the crowd to the street. At this time, the streets were already crowded with people, but there was a passage between the middle of the officers and soldiers. Zhu Yunwen mingled among the crowd, trying to make himself look like an ordinary citizen. In fact, there were so many people on the street, even if he performed a little abnormally, no one would notice it.

After waiting for a while, he saw a team coming from north to south, everyone wearing plain silly clothes. It was the funeral team escorting Lao Zhu back to Nanjing. Seeing this team getting closer and closer, Zhu Yunwen also had a complicated expression. If he had not escaped, he should be in this team now.
