Chapter 572
Zhu Di gritted his teeth, said nothing, but nodded.
He understood what Monk Daoyan said: his father was an extremely cautious person. If it weren't for his inexplicable feeling of palpitations this time, he would not have discovered that his father was even on guard against him when going out. It was almost impossible for others to get information from him, except for him, his biological son.
"I will kneel down and beg to see my father on the pretext of caring about his health. Only after seeing my father will I have a chance to see the clues." Zhu Di said with a firm gaze. A man who could defend the northern border for ten years, a man who could accomplish great things in history, did not lack this kind of ruthlessness.
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but said worriedly, "But Your Highness, the weather now... is very cold." The two of them were a couple who had been together since childhood, so Xu Miaoyun naturally couldn't help but worry.
Zhu Di snorted softly: "It's better if the weather is cold."
His father knew that he could be hard-hearted towards everyone in the Ming Dynasty, and perhaps the only soft heart he had was reserved for his sons.
Monk Daoyan didn't say much.
He simply clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness's determination is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Although he usually looks calm and composed, and one can even see a bit of compassion on his face, he is actually a rare ruthless person. He never cares about anything but the goal in his heart.
The behavior of the man in the private house was really too weird, but he was the most important step in the current situation.
If I can't find out clearly...
Even he was undecided about where to go next.
Zhu Di also understood this logic. He threw the newspaper in his hand to Xu Miaoyun, and without saying another word, he put on the cloak he had worn when he came in, hiding his body and face, walked out of Cuiming Tower, and hurried towards his private residence.
The cold winter wind made the hem of her cloak flutter.
Perhaps it was because the weather was cold, Zhu Di felt inexplicably cold.
……
"Dad, are you feeling better?"
"How long has it been? My son is truly worried. I've already lost someone once, and I've grieved every day. I absolutely don't want to experience it a second time. Even if things don't go as planned, the living shouldn't dwell on it too much."
"Just one look would be enough for my son."
In the main courtyard where Zhu Yuanzhang was staying, the door was tightly closed. A thick layer of snow had accumulated in front of the door. The entire courtyard was covered in white. The only visible traces were a series of deep and shallow footprints running from the courtyard door to the main entrance...
Zhu Di, kneeling at the door of the main house, was particularly eye-catching.
Things have come to this point, and it is obviously impossible for him to give up. His ambition will only take root deeper. He has to know what happened to his father, he must know!
The snowflakes in the sky were still falling, making a slight rustling sound when they landed on the white ground.
All sounds are silent.
Inside the main house, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in front of a warm charcoal fire, crossing his legs and reading with relish the eleventh issue of the newspaper in his hand, which had not yet been published. At this moment, his expression froze slightly and he had to put down the newspaper.
He frowned and said to Lu Wei, "Is this the fourth brother again? Send him away. We won't see him for now."
Zhu Di had always wanted to instigate Zhu Yuanzhang to do something, so he naturally came here frequently every day. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Di's voice, he was not that surprised.
Lu Wei also nodded and walked straight to the door as if he was familiar with the place.
But when he opened the door, he saw Zhu Di kneeling in the snow... He was slightly stunned, and then he could only trot forward and pretend to help: "Your Highness, what are you doing? Hurry, I will help you up first."
"It's the coldest weather right now. You're a precious person, what will you do if you get hurt from kneeling and freezing?"
