Ming Dynasty: What's wrong with being a leisurely crown prince?

Chapter 63 King Zhao, tell me, what exactly do you want to do!

Inside Kunning Palace, everyone was overjoyed to see Xu Miaoyun get up without any apparent abnormality.

If just a moment ago this place was lifeless and heavy, then at this moment, there is only joy.

Unfortunately, Zhu Gaosui seemed somewhat out of place in this cheerful atmosphere.

Jiang Yongwen and others, as well as Yao Guangxiao, had all retreated, leaving only Zhu Di's family there.

Xu Miaoyun came to Zhu Gaochi and hugged him.

"Eldest brother, you've suffered so much. You have a heart full of filial piety, but you've carried too much on your shoulders."

Just now, your father and the others didn't do anything to you, did they?

After the initial excitement and exhilaration, Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Gaochi with only guilt.

Even if she didn't know what had just happened, she could guess what was going on.

After drinking Zhu Gaochi's medicine, she fainted, and Zhu Gaochi had to bear an immense amount of pressure.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di's worried face, which was brimming with tears, and then at Zhu Di's tense expression, and immediately smiled.

"Mother, today is a joyous day. Your illness has been cured. You should be happy."

My father isn't that petty. I'm his own son, so he definitely trusts me.

"Dad, don't you think so?"

"Yes, the eldest is right. How could I not trust my own son? You're overthinking it."

Zhu Di's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally completely put at ease, and he was overjoyed.

Although he didn't do anything to Zhu Gaochi just now, he had indeed punished Zhu Gaochi in his heart.

Moreover, he never truly believed Zhu Gaochi from beginning to end.

Upon hearing Zhu Di's words, Xu Miaoyun glared at him, causing Zhu Di to shrink back. She then glared at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanji, who were secretly laughing.

Xu Miaoyun was filled with helplessness, and then pulled Zhu Gaochi's hand to sit down.

"Boss, thanks to you this time, I'm lucky to be alive."

"Mother, you can't say that. Actually, this is also thanks to Dean Jiang and Vice Dean Dai. They also put in a lot of effort. The final prescription couldn't have been made without their help."

Especially because Mom believed in her son, Dad believed in him, and the second son was exceptionally supportive, it was finally possible to achieve this.

The second son has been keeping a close eye on this medicine; he's been extremely worried lately.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and shared the credit with everyone, especially the Imperial Medical Academy, without mentioning himself at all.

Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di listened with great satisfaction.

As the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi should not have been greedy for credit, but rather should have given such credit to others, which was the most correct thing to do.

Although everyone knows that Zhu Gaochi initiated and carried out this matter, and that the main credit belongs to Zhu Gaochi, if Zhu Gaochi directly acknowledges it, who will be willing to work for Zhu Gaochi in the future?

After all, the work was done, and the credit belonged to Zhu Gaochi.

This approach not only wins people's hearts but also demonstrates his magnanimity, which is exactly what a crown prince should do.

"Don't worry, I will reward the Imperial Medical Academy myself."

Jiang Yongwen and Dai Sigong did an excellent job this time, and they will be rewarded.

Although Zhu Di did not specify, Zhu Gaochi knew very well that he would not be stingy, after all, he had saved Xu Miaoyun's life.

Xu Miaoyun then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, stood up, and pulled him down to sit.

"Second brother, you've worked hard these past few days. Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

"Mother, why are you saying all this? I'm not tired, it's the eldest son who has been tired. This time, it's all thanks to the eldest son. I'm glad you're alright now."

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was laughing like a child, grinning, scratching his head, his face full of smiles and joy.

Zhu Gaoxu was equally generous with his praise of Zhu Gaochi, without considering that such praise would solidify Zhu Gaochi's position.

This time, he approved of Zhu Gaochi and admired Qian's actions.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded, her eyes full of doting affection.

Only in the most dangerous times do we know whose heart is the truest and who is the most dedicated.

Then, looking at Zhu Zhanji, Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "Second Grandson, thank you for your hard work."

The second grandson, Zhu Zhanji of today, is not yet the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson is someone else, who is still alive today.

"Grandson is not tired, it is Father who is tired. It is good that Grandmother is alright."

Zhu Zhanji spoke excitedly, still somewhat dazed at the moment.

But perhaps he was too excited, or perhaps he had something to hide, which made his speech sound somewhat unnatural.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Zhanji, scratched her head, and didn't say anything.

Finally, Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Gaosui, about to say something, but Zhu Di grabbed Xu Miaoyun's hand.

"You've only just recovered, so you must be hungry and need to rest. Leave everything else to me."

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

Xu Miaoyun hesitated for a moment, but seeing Zhu Di's firm expression, she ultimately chose to believe him.

She believed that Zhu Di knew what was important and would not make an unwise decision.

He nodded to Zhu Di, then gave Zhu Gaochi a look. Only after Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly did he finally feel relieved.

"mother..."

Just as Xu Miaoyun was about to leave, Zhu Gaoxu's voice came, his eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's expression, Xu Miaoyun immediately smiled before giving Zhu Gaoxu a look.

In fact, Xu Miaoyun had no intention of giving Zhu Gaoxu any hints. She knew what kind of person Zhu Gaoxu was, and even if she gave him a hint, he might not understand it.

Moreover, doing these things is far less reassuring than having Zhu Gaochi handle them.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about any of this, nor did he know any of it. At this moment, he was overjoyed to receive Xu Miaoyun's signal.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu had no idea what Xu Miaoyun was implying, but seeing Xu Miaoyun gesturing to Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi in turn, he simply wanted to know what she meant.

Zhu Gaoxu had thought it through clearly. Since he didn't know what it was, he would just follow Zhu Gaochi's lead.

He definitely wouldn't ask, he couldn't let Xu Miaoyun down, and he couldn't let others, especially Zhu Gaochi, look down on him.

Xu Miaoyun stood up and said slowly, "You and your sons can chat. Second grandson, go and call your mother. I'll go find my daughter-in-law."

Xu Miaoyun had not forgotten Zhang Yan, who was dressed up and waiting for her in the East Palace. She had a special fondness for and approval of this daughter-in-law.

Zhu Di saw Xu Miaoyun off, watching her leave with a smile on his face.

When he turned to look at the three Zhu brothers, his face immediately darkened.

"Get over here, all of you."

Zhu Di did not want to deal with this matter in Kunning Palace, so he brought his three brothers to his own main hall.

"Kneel down!"

With a loud shout from Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui quickly and smoothly knelt down.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the two of them and immediately burst out laughing.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi but said nothing, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

"Second brother, I wasn't talking to you, why are you kneeling?"

"Oh? I'll get up right away."

Zhu Gaoxu felt a toothache and helplessness. Looking at Zhu Gaochi, who did not kneel down, he felt a little displeased.

He didn't really know why, but he was truly powerless against Zhu Di's voice.

Hearing those two words, especially Zhu Di's sudden shout, he had no time to think and knelt down according to his memory.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, then at Zhu Gaochi, and shook his head inwardly.

Sure enough, he, the second son, is easier to bully.

No, that's not bullying, it's intimidation.

He stopped thinking about it; this time, his target wasn't those two people.

His gaze fell upon Zhu Gaosui, his expression growing increasingly grim.

"King Zhao, tell me, what exactly do you want to do!"
