Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 476 Zhu Youqiu's Residence
The traveling old doctor had no idea what was happening when he saw Qian Ning and Gu Dayong's faces turn pale.

He thought to himself, did he say something wrong? Didn't you tell me all the information about the other party? Did you not find out the disease of the other party? Could it be that he is not tuberculosis?

Zhu Houzhao stared at the old doctor with a cold face and said, "Old Immortal, are you sure he has tuberculosis?"

The old doctor hesitated, "This, this..."

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said, "I might as well tell you that he is not Chen Ce."

Yang Yuzhen chuckled and said, "Old Immortal, I'm in good health. You're crying at the wrong grave."

Old Doctor: ???

Isn't this a bit immoral?
Why isn't this Chen Ce? No one reminded me!
Zhu Houzhao said sternly: "Kneel down for me!"

The old doctor knelt down tremblingly, and raised his eyes to ask Qian Ning, but Zhu Houzhao said sternly: "Who told you to deceive me?"

Qian Ning and Gu Dayong were about to speak, but Zhu Houzhao shouted coldly, "Shut up!"

"Tell me! If you don't explain clearly today, I will peel off your skin!"

The old doctor trembled and said, "Yes, it was Lord Qian. He ordered me to do this. He said that if I cooperated with him, he would give me a large sum of money... Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with me. Please spare my life, spare my life."

I'm sorry, I would rather die than have a friend die.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly turned blood red.

Qian Ning wanted to beat this old bastard to death!

"Your Highness, I am your humble servant, your humble servant."

Zhu Houzhao said to the outside world: "Come here, send him to the Jinyiwei, and let Wei Wenli send him to the imperial prison!"

"Your Highness, please spare my life. I dare not do it again. I just want to make Your Highness happy. I know I am wrong. Please spare my life."

Gu Dayong hurriedly said to Zhu Houzhao: "Prince, he..."

"You get out too! Go back to the East Palace! I'll deal with you when I get back!"

Gu Dayong was so frightened that his face turned pale and he left stammering.

Only then did Chen Ce say to Yang Yuzhen: "Okay, you can go back too."

Yang Yuzhen said, "Okay."

Zhu Houzhao sat on the armchair with a dejected look on his face, looking extremely depressed.

During this time he was in Peking, he had been fantasizing about finding a magical being who could cure Chen Ce's illness, but he knew that everyone around him was deceiving him.

It’s bad enough that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang bullied him, but now even the people closest to him are deceiving him.

Chen Ce patted Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness, don't be depressed."

"It's better to find out about the problem now than later, isn't it?"

“You have to go through some things to grow.”

Zhu Houzhao sighed deeply. He looked at Chen Ce and said disappointedly, "Little brother, I am depressed, not because they deceived me, but because I still can't cure your illness."

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I didn't have much hope anyway."

"My illness is not important. What's important is you, Your Highness."

"Do you remember what I told you yesterday? You are the crown prince, and you will be the emperor in the future. You cannot show too much joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness in front of outsiders. Your hobbies and personal joys cannot be seen by others."

"Why have emperors been mysterious and majestic since ancient times? As long as others cannot figure you out, they will be afraid of you. Once you are seen through by others, they will no longer be afraid of you."

Zhu Houzhao nodded in agreement. If others didn’t know that his weakness was Chen Ce, would anyone dare to deceive him like this today?
No wonder my father always looked expressionless in front of the outer court officials. It turned out that this was the truth. It turned out that being an emperor also had so much knowledge. Today's lesson made Zhu Houzhao learn a vivid lesson seriously.

Chen Ce said to Zhu Houzhao: "These eunuchs in the inner palace can either help you or do evil behind your back."

"We must control them well in the future."

Zhu Houzhao hummed and said, "Okay! I understand!"

……

After Qian Ning was arrested and thrown into the imperial prison, his fate was self-evident. Even if Qian Neng and the other three eunuchs of the Qian family wanted to save Qian Ning, they did not dare to intervene at this time.

He is just a godson. They can recruit more godsons, so the death of one is nothing.

As for Gu Dayong, Zhu Houzhao finally didn't have the heart to kill him. After all, he had been with him for so long, so he demoted him to the laundry department.

The cruel end of a eunuch who fell out of favor in the palace was self-evident.

Liu Jin returned to Zhu Houzhao again. Liu Jin had advised Zhu Houzhao not to be fooled at the beginning, but Zhu Houzhao was overwhelmed at that time. Only then did he realize that his Liu Daban was really doing good for him, and he could not help but trust Liu Jin more.

Liu Jin knew that this would be the fate of Gu Dayong. Chen Ce is still alive. Do you think you can really deceive Chen Ce, a consumptive man? How dare you?

……

Emperor Hongzhi was very busy during this period. Since he came back, he began to make arrangements for the descendants of the royal family and vassal states in the inland of the Ming Dynasty to relocate them all to the Japanese islands.

All the palaces, lands, etc. they left behind were confiscated by the court.

Zhu Youqiu had his own house in Peking, on Chengqingfang Street, and Chen Ce had soaked in the hot springs there.

The house was extremely luxurious, and most importantly, it had a natural hot spring, where one could not only soak in the hot spring but also swim, which was just the right opportunity for Zhu Houzhao to learn how to swim.

So Chen Ce asked Emperor Hongzhi to take Zhu Youju's house in the capital.

Emperor Hongzhi had long been thinking about how to reward Chen Ce. It was undoubtedly Chen Ce's credit that the royal family and vassal states could be packed up and sent to the Japanese islands this time.

Upon hearing that Chen Ce had taken the initiative to offer a reward, Emperor Hongzhi was so happy that he was too happy to hesitate. He waved his hand and ordered that Zhu Youluo's residence in Beijing be given to Chen Ce.

Early this morning, Chen Ce went to the Ministry of Works to ask Xu Guan to borrow a few craftsmen.

He wanted to transform the hot spring in the house in Chengqingfang into a swimming pool, and let Zhu Houzhao learn to swim when he had free time.

Then we can convert the room next to the hot spring into a sauna room. Now that the weather is getting cooler, the sauna room will come in handy soon.

However, as soon as he arrived at Zhu Youlang's house, he saw several servants arrogantly surrounding the door and shouting to several people from the Ministry of War: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Our Lord wants this mansion!"

"What? His Majesty gave it to someone else? It's useless! We brothers of the Zhang family want this house. I, Zhang Heling, said so. I want to see who dares to snatch this house from us brothers!"

The officials from the Ministry of War looked embarrassed, but the Zhang brothers didn't care. They had been eyeing Zhu Youlang's mansion for a long time, and it didn't matter who the emperor gave it to, as they had decided to take it!

Chen Ce walked over slowly with his hands behind his back, glanced at the Zhang brothers, and said softly, "Please make way."

Damn it! What are you doing here, you consumptive bastard?

The Zhang brothers stared at Chen Ce and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Ce said: "This is my house."

Zhang Heling: “???”
