Chapter 1402
"What did you say? What happened to Xiao Wu? What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Empress Ma's question, the eunuch dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately began to explain:
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo was implicated in the money shop case yesterday and was unable to prove his innocence, so His Majesty imprisoned him!"
"what!!!"
Empress Ma gasped in shock, inwardly cursing:
"You Zhu Chongba, are you trying to rebel!"
Wei Wu was imprisoned in the imperial prison yesterday. Although the news had spread among the people, Empress Ma had not received any information about it.
The main reason is that when Wei Wu was imprisoned, Empress Ma happened to be tending her small plots of land and did not have any palace servants follow her.
He was in his fifties and sixties, and after a long day of farm work, he went straight to his bedroom to rest after returning to Kunning Palace.
The servants in Kunning Palace dared not disturb Empress Ma's rest, so naturally no one reported this matter to her.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yuanzhang neither slept in Kunning Palace last night nor did he instinctively want to tell Empress Ma about this matter.
Anyway, it's just acting, and Wei Wu will be released soon, so there's no need to make his sister worry.
This is why Empress Ma only learned of Wei Wu's imprisonment in the imperial prison now, through this eunuch.
When Empress Ma learned that Wei Wu had been imprisoned, she was initially quite anxious, but she quickly came to her senses.
"No, that's not right. Chongba knows very well how important Xiaowu is. As long as it's not treason, he won't do anything to Xiaowu."
"It's just a case involving a money exchange, and they weren't even the masterminds, plus there's no solid evidence. They shouldn't have been ruled this way!"
Thinking of this, Empress Ma immediately realized that Zhu Yuanzhang must have some hidden reasons for doing this that she was unaware of.
After a brief moment of shock, Empress Ma looked at the eunuch again and asked him a question.
"Do you know any other details about the Duke of Zhenguo being imprisoned in the Imperial Prison? Tell me in detail!"
Upon hearing Empress Ma's words, the eunuch did not answer directly, but instead, with a pained expression, said urgently:
"Your Majesty, I will report this matter to you later. Right now, the important thing is not the Duke of Zhenguo, but Princess Weiyang!"
"Princess Weiyang is kneeling in front of Fengxian Hall. You must go there quickly, otherwise this torrential rain and biting wind will make things worse."
“Princess Weiyang is pregnant again. If she continues to kneel, I’m afraid…”
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Empress Ma's face turned deathly pale.
"Yes, child, child, the child must not be harmed! Quickly, lead the way, we must get to Fengxian Hall immediately!!!"
As she loudly issued the decree, Empress Ma didn't even bother with an umbrella, and strode straight into the rain.
It's not surprising that Empress Ma overlooked Zhu Yuxuan's matter; the main reason was that Wei Wu's imprisonment in the imperial prison had a huge impact on her.
For a moment, she completely forgot that it was pouring rain and that Zhu Yuxuan was pregnant.
After being reminded by the eunuch, she finally realized that the child in Zhu Yuxuan's belly was absolutely not to be lost!
The eunuch became anxious when he saw Empress Ma rushing into the heavy rain, but he couldn't run into the Kunning Palace to get an umbrella.
Because Empress Ma was equally important to him, he immediately followed and stood by her side to protect her.
Outside the main hall of Fengxian Hall.
The situation between Zhu Yuxuan and Zhu Yuanzhang, which had just eased, has now become tense again.
The reason was that the reasons Zhu Yuxuan gave were completely useless to Zhu Yuanzhang, because he knew better than anyone else.
As the old saying goes, only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are. Although Wei Wu was just acting, he was still sent to prison by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, no matter what reasons Zhu Yuxuan gives, he will not release Wei Wu until the task he actually wants to accomplish is completed.
Of course, these are all from Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective. But from Zhu Yuxuan's perspective, she had already said countless times in her heart that her father was an idiot.
