Chapter 508 The Incident Happened
Zhu Yunwen was arrested, Huang Zicheng and others were sentenced to justice, and Li Jie finally finished the work in his hands, but he had another important thing to do next, that is, to deal with Zhu Biao's funeral. Speaking of which, Mei Yin had already escorted Lao Zhu's coffin to Nanjing, and now Zhu Biao's funeral is left to be busy.
In fact, when Lao Zhu just passed away, Li Jie and Zhu Yunqi had already decided to personally escort Lao Zhu's coffin to Nanjing. However, Zhu Biao's death was too sudden and all plans were disrupted. Now, not only Zhu Yunqi cannot live without the capital, but Li Jie is also trapped in the capital.
Thinking of the experience over the past half month, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh, life was impermanent and the world was unpredictable. Even as a time traveler, he never expected that things would reach this point.
Thinking about things in his mind, the carriage finally returned home. Although Zhu Biao was busy with funeral, Zhu Yunyu saw that Li Jie was too tired to capture Zhu Yunwen before, so he asked him to go home and rest for two days first to avoid getting tired.
Li Jie got off the carriage and returned to the inner house. When he saw Zhu Yuning, he found that his wife was much haggard. After all, his father's sudden death also caused a huge blow to Zhu Yuning. But when she was most vulnerable, Li Jie could only be busy with things outside and had not been home for most half a month.
However, although Zhu Yuning was haggard, she was still very happy to see Li Jie coming back. She immediately asked someone to prepare hot water and let Li Jie take a good bath and rest. Hu Yingyu also personally made some side dishes that Li Jie liked, and then Zhu Yuning accompanied him to eat and chat.
"Husband is back, is Yunwen..." Zhu Yuning suddenly asked. She didn't want to ask about these things in the court, but this time the matter was related to Zhu Yunwen. Although Zhu Yunwen is not her mother, she is a brother and brother with blood relationship after all, and she doesn't want to see the scene of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunwen's brothers fighting each other.
"Yun Wen has returned to the palace. Your Majesty temporarily put him under house arrest. When the limelight has passed, he may be sent to America." Li Jie did not hide it, after all, Zhu Yuning has the right to know this.
"America? That's so far?" Zhu Yuning couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Jie's answer.
"There is no way. Yun Wen made a big mistake this time. If he meets a more cruel person, he may be killed. However, His Majesty still cares about the friendship between brothers. In addition, considering the current situation, he can only exil him. However, he is worried about being used by others in the country, so he simply sends him away, which is good for both of them." Li Jie sighed and replied.
Zhu Yuning sighed when she heard this. She felt a little sad because of the throne. She thought that if her father was alive, she would definitely be very sad. Thinking of her father, Zhu Yuning's tears couldn't help but burst out again.
Seeing his wife crying, Li Jie hurriedly stood up and hugged her gently to comfort her. He also knew that Zhu Yuning was extremely fragile during this period and was the time when he needed someone to accompany her the most. But because of Zhu Yunwen's affairs, he had no time to go home. Now that he was finally finished, he could spend more time with her.
Zhu Yuning hugged Li Jie and cried for a while, then she felt much better. Then she pulled Li Jie down again. The couple talked for a while. Li Jie also took the opportunity to ask about the situation at home, especially her son's recent studies. During this period, Li Jie was busy with things outside. Zhu Yuning often went to the palace to keep a guard for Zhu Biao, but neglected to discipline his son.
"By the way, will your husband take over his father's funeral next?" Zhu Yuning suddenly asked.
"Yes, the late emperor passed away too suddenly, and even the imperial tomb had not been built yet, so the funeral was very heavy. It was delayed for more than half a month before, so I may have to work for a while next." Li Jie also showed a helpless look at the end. Zhu Yunyu was his brother-in-law, so of course he had to share a lot of things for the other party.
"Don't worry about family affairs, husband, I will cheer up. Please ask my father for funeral matters!" Zhu Yuning's eyes began to turn red again when he talked about his father's funeral.
"Yunning, don't be too sad. The late emperor left suddenly, but life has to continue, especially for His Majesty. He didn't even have time to feel sad. He could only grit his teeth and carry the big stall of the Ming Dynasty. As His Majesty's eldest sister, you must be stronger and set an example for His Majesty!" Li Jie explained softly again.
"You don't have to worry, you have all the principles. It's really not easy for Yun Xi to help him. I don't have much to help him, but my husband can help him better than me." Speaking of this, Zhu Yuning suddenly showed a bit of melancholy. After all, she has always protected Zhu Yun Xi since she was a child, but now she has suddenly been unable to help her brother, which makes her feel a little disappointed.
"Yunning, what's wrong with you? What else can we do to you and me? Isn't it just you who are helping Yunhuang?" Li Jie smiled again and explained.
Zhu Yuning felt much better when she heard her husband's thoughtful words. She couldn't help but snuggle in Li Jie's arms and felt her husband's heartbeat. This feeling of someone to rely on also made her feel a great sense of security. This is also the main reason why the couple still have the same relationship for many years.
"Husband, during your absence, thanks to Xueqing who often comes to me to talk to me to relieve her boredom. Even the meatballs are thanks to her care." Zhu Yuning suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Xueqing is really good, and the relationship between you sisters is also enviable." Li Jie's heart was shocked when he heard this, but he still pretended to be calm and replied.
"Haha, why does it start to get messy when Xue Qing is mentioned?" Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuning, who was leaning against Li Jie's chest, spoke again. The change in Li Jie's heartbeat naturally could not escape her ears.
"No, you must have heard it wrong." Li Jieqiang said calmly, but the expression on his face had become very unnatural, and his heartbeat began to accelerate. From the time Zhu Yuning mentioned Zhu Xueqing, he was already a little guilty.
"Honey, still refuses to admit it? If Xue Qing saw you now, she would probably be very disappointed, right?" Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuning asked step by step at this time.
"I..." Li Jie was speechless, wanting to defend himself but didn't know how to speak. Something happened between him and Zhu Xueqing. He even thought about confessing to Zhu Yuning, but he didn't know how to speak.
Zhu Yuning knew what Li Jie wanted to say, but she didn't seem to be planning to pursue it, but said softly again: "Okay, husband doesn't need to explain. Actually, I've known about you and Xueqing for a long time. When my father's funeral is over, I'll take Xueqing into the mansion!"
