After leaving the amusement park, Jiang Chuan took Zhu Jingjing home.

After contacting the furniture supplier and having the bed installed, I finally leaned back on the sofa to rest, exhausted.

"Brother, I'm going to take a shower first!" Zhu Jingjing said.

Jiang Chuan nodded. It seemed that the little princess had taken a liking to the modern way of bathing. Perhaps he could buy a bathtub so that she could occasionally relive the old way of bathing.

After she entered the bathroom, Jiang Chuan's face became serious, and he took out his phone to carefully review the information.

He was going to give Zhu Jingjing a history lesson. The reason he was taking it so seriously was that the content of this lesson was completely different from what he had taught before, and it might very well concern the little princess's future fate.

Half an hour later, Zhu Jingjing walked out of the bathroom.

Jiang Chuan said, "Jingjing, come sit on the sofa, we're about to start class!"

Zhu Jingjing stretched and said reluctantly, "I'm tired today, how about we postpone class until tomorrow?"

"No way, didn't we agree? If you go back on your word, I'll never take you out again!" Jiang Chuan refused sternly.

Zhu Jingjing had no choice but to reluctantly sit down on the sofa.

"Jingjing, you must listen carefully to what I'm about to say and remember it well!" Jiang Chuan said seriously.

Seeing his serious attitude, Zhu Jingjing knew that what he was about to say was very important, so she sat up straight.

"Jingjing, according to historical records, you will encounter a calamity. Although you will not lose your life, you will suffer immense pain!" Jiang Chuan said.

Zhu Jingjing was taken aback, somewhat unconvinced. "Brother, is there any record in your history that I've been to the modern era?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said, "Of course not. In fact, before I met you, I didn't believe in time travel at all."

Zhu Jingjing said, "That settles it then! I don't even know if I can ever return to the Ming Dynasty, why worry about things that haven't even happened yet?"

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly. What Zhu Jingjing said might make sense, but just in case, it was still necessary to remind her.

After all, no one knows why she traveled through time, and it's possible that she woke up one day to find herself back in the Ming Dynasty.

Although they had only spent a few days together, Jiang Chuan already regarded Zhu Jingjing as his own sister and was determined to nip any potential tragedy in the bud!

Jiang Chuan said, "Jingjing, it's never a bad thing for you to know more. Besides, aren't you interested in your past self?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Jingjing sat up straight. She was also very curious about what her historical counterparts would experience.

"In the ninth year of the Hongwu reign, when you were sixteen years old, your father married you off to Li Qi, the son of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Han."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhu Jingjing couldn't sit still any longer. "Impossible! I don't know any Li Qi at all, and I would never marry him!"

Jiang Chuan smiled wryly. In ancient times, there was no such thing as free love.

Especially in the royal family, the emperor often directly designated the marriages of princesses. It was considered good for someone like Zhu Jingjing to marry the son of a court official. In the past, the princesses who were forced to marry foreign tribes were truly tragic.

"Jingjing, listen to me first." After calming the little princess down, Jiang Chuan continued, "In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Li Shanchang was executed along with more than seventy of his daughters, brothers, and nephews because of Hu Weiyong's treason case."

Zhu Jingjing was completely stunned. After a long while, she shouted, "Impossible! Father wouldn't do this to me!"

Jiang Chuan sighed softly. He could understand Zhu Jingjing's feelings, but he had to say these words. In case the little princess traveled back in time one day, he couldn't let her repeat the same mistakes.

"Jingjing, your father still values ​​you. It is because of you that Li Qi and your two sons were spared, but the whole family was exiled to Jiangpu," Jiang Chuan continued.

Zhu Jingjing remained silent, her head bowed. Although she was unwilling to believe it, she knew that Jiang Chuan would not lie to her; what he said was all true and recorded in the history books.

Jiang Chuan said, "If you really return to the Ming Dynasty and everything continues according to history, then you must persuade Li Shanchang to report Hu Weiyong's rebellion. Only in this way will you avoid being implicated."

Zhu Jingjing seemed to calm down. She stopped crying and made a fuss, and her big, watery eyes were fixed on Jiang Chuan.

"Jingjing, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Jiang Chuan asked, puzzled.

Zhu Jingjing gently shook her head, and as Jiang Chuan was taken aback, she suddenly threw herself into his arms, "I don't want to get married! Even if I have to get married, I want to marry my brother!"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback and immediately said, "This is against etiquette, your father will not agree! Jingjing, is the person you like Zhu Biao?"

Zhu Jingjing punched him hard in the chest with her small fist, glaring at him resentfully, "Idiot, I'm talking about your brother!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan was both amused and exasperated, his feelings a complex mix.

Zhu Jingjing is still a child at heart, and Jiang Chuan has always treated her like a younger sister.

But he was still very happy, at least it proved that Zhu Jingjing liked him as her older brother.

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the dragon throne, looking down angrily at Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, who were kneeling on the ground.

"Hu Weiyong, I have always treated you well, appointing you as Right Chancellor, yet you are still not satisfied and dare to plot rebellion!" Zhu Yuanzhang heard Jiang Chuan's words clearly and immediately summoned Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong to settle scores.

Hu Weiyong kowtowed repeatedly, kowtowing as if pounding garlic, "Your Majesty, I am truly wronged! I have always been loyal to my duty, how could I dare to have the slightest evil intention!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ashen. He raised his hand and pointed to the sky. "I heard everything the boy in that sky said clearly. What explanation do you have for that?"

Hu Weiyong kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty is wise; someone must have used sorcery and evil magic to frame me. Please, Your Majesty, do not fall for the schemes of these treacherous people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and slammed his fist on the dragon throne. "Damn it, I think you are the biggest villain of my Great Ming Dynasty! Guards, imprison Hu Weiyong and his entire family, and execute them in public next spring!"

Seeing this, Empress Ma quickly advised, "Chongba, what Lord Hu said is not without reason. We should not kill innocent people because of something that has never happened."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said in a low voice, "You don't know this, just as that young man said, I originally wanted to marry Jing'er to Li Qi next year. I have never mentioned this to anyone else, but he spoke of it with such certainty."

Empress Ma advised, "Chongba, even so, Lord Hu has not yet rebelled. If you indiscriminately execute ministers, wouldn't that create panic throughout the court and the country?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully, then calmed down after a while. "Hu Weiyong, I will spare your life out of consideration for your past merits! But I hereby strip you of all your official positions and exile your entire clan to Lingnan, with no possibility of being pardoned!"

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Li Shanchang, who was bowing his head, and asked, "Minister Li, how should I deal with you now?"
