Chapter 384: I haven't thought of a name yet
Zhu Zhanji's eyes darkened. He had not originally planned to deal with this matter, but since the Emperor had said to investigate, he naturally had no choice but to do it. As for what he could find out, that was his business.
"Grandson will do it right away." Zhu Zhanji said and bowed as he went out.
"Your Majesty, what about these two people?" Wang Jinghong looked at the two people who were still kneeling there.
"Beat them to death!" Zhu Di looked at the two men as if they were two corpses.
"Understood. Come here, drag him away." Wang Jinghong directed people to come over.
By the time the news was received outside the palace, it was already dawn the next day.
When it was time to go to court, Zhu Zhanqi stopped his third uncle at the palace gate.
"Uncle San, I heard that something big happened in the palace last night. No one on my side has leaked the news. Do you know the situation?" Zhu Zhanqi felt vaguely uneasy.
"I don't have any news either, but it should have nothing to do with us." King Zhao assured confidently.
"That's right." Zhu Zhanqi felt relieved after hearing him say that.
When attending court, Zhu Di was just like usual and there was no sign of anything unusual.
Just when Prince Zhao and Zhu Zhanqi were about to leave the palace, they were suddenly stopped.
"Your Highness Prince Zhao, Your Highness Qi, please stay. His Majesty invites you."
"Are you from the Qianqing Palace?" Prince Zhao looked at the young eunuch and felt that he looked unfamiliar.
"Your Highness, I am new to the Qianqing Palace and have only been working under Chief Steward Wang for a short time, so I may look unfamiliar to you," the young eunuch explained.
"I see. Then you lead the way." King Zhao no longer suspected him and although he appeared calm on the surface, he was already beginning to feel uneasy in his heart.
Time goes back to an hour ago.
Zhu Zhanji and the prince were busy with things and were rushing to attend court.
"Did you know something a long time ago?" The prince looked at Zhu Zhanji as he checked with familiarity.
"Why do you say that, father? If I had known this earlier, I would never have let them get into trouble again." Zhu Zhanji's heart tightened. His father was too sensitive.
"You are right. Okay, it's time for the morning court. We can't finish the investigation in a short time." The prince saw that it was already bright outside, stretched himself, went back to the East Palace, washed his face, changed clothes, and went to the court.

"Your Highness, why did you come back just now? Have you finished dealing with the matter?" Hu Shanxiang woke up in a daze and saw that Zhu Zhanji had just returned.
"I'm sorry to wake you up. It's still early. You should sleep a little longer." Zhu Zhanji tucked the quilt in for him.
"It's getting late, and Nuannuan might be about to wake up. I'd better get up." Hu Shanxiang said as she sat up.
"Then get up and eat something before you go and pay your respects."
"Well, Your Highness, would you like to eat something to warm your stomach before going to court? You've been tired for most of the night." Hu Shanxiang was already awake.
"Well, okay, I'll eat with you then."
The two sat at the table, Zhu Zhanji drank some soup and porridge and went out.
After dressing up, Hu Shanxiang also went to pay her respects.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince went to court, but the people below were still searching in full swing.
Just as they were leaving court, clues of the last fire were found.
So as soon as the prince and Zhu Zhanji left the court, they immediately went back to find Zhu Di.
After that, he sent people to the palace gate to stop Prince Zhao and Zhu Zhanqi.
Along the way, the uncle and nephew were both feeling very uneasy, and it was King Zhao who asked first.
"I wonder if you know what His Majesty wants to see me about?"
"This, I am not sure, I just know that the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are also there."
After hearing this, the two became even more confused.
