Chapter 1398
Hearing Zhu Yuxuan mention Empress Ma, the four maids breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Just as Zhu Yuxuan said, Empress Ma's care for Wei Wu was even more than that for her own son.
The child in Zhu Yuxuan's womb is Wei Wu's only flesh and blood, and out of love for Wei Wu, he would absolutely not allow anything to happen to Zhu Yuxuan.
Most importantly, during the Hongwu reign, even all the civil and military officials combined did not have as much influence as Empress Ma.
If Empress Ma were willing to plead for her young master, the emperor might actually release him.
The four young girls, including Brigitte Lin, all thought so, which led to their inner conflict.
If they could, they truly wished they could take Zhu Yuxuan's place, because they wanted to save Wei Wu, but were also worried about the child.
The problem is that they were neither princesses nor Wei Wu's wives, and even if they wanted to do so, they were not qualified.
At this moment, Zhu Yuxuan once again adopted the attitude of an older sister and a legal wife, and spoke directly:
"Alright, handle the matters of the Chamber of Commerce and the family as I said. I'm going to the palace; I must rescue my husband!"
Zhu Yuxuan spoke with absolute certainty, giving Qingxia and the others no chance to object, and then walked away.
The key point is that she deliberately sticks out her belly when she walks, so who would dare to stop her?
Thus, the four women had no choice but to follow her until Zhu Yuxuan got into the carriage, at which point they reluctantly returned to their residence.
On the way to the palace, Zhu Yuxuan lifted the curtain and glanced at the somewhat gloomy sky.
"It's likely to rain heavily today. I hope it won't affect the children. But with the Empress Dowager here, there shouldn't be any problems!"
He muttered something to himself, then Zhu Yuxuan let go of his hand and closed his eyes to wait quietly inside the carriage.
As time passed, the carriage soon arrived at the palace gates. After inspection, Zhu Yuxuan walked into the palace.
Instead of pleading for mercy at Kunning Palace as previously stated, Zhu Yuxuan went directly to Fengxian Hall and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I, Wei Yang, beg for an audience. My husband has been unjustly imprisoned. I implore Your Majesty to grant him justice and clear his name!"
Zhu Yuxuan's move completely baffled the guards standing outside the palace gates; they had never seen anything like it before.
Before Zhu Yuxuan knelt down, they all thought he had come to talk to the emperor, but they didn't expect him to kneel down as soon as he arrived.
They didn't dare to step forward to help him up, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the palace servants in Fengxian Hall reacted quickly and immediately ran into the back hall to report to Zhu Yuanzhang upon seeing this scene.
"Your Majesty, Princess Weiyang has arrived and is currently kneeling outside the Fengxian Hall!"
"Kneel outside the Fengxian Hall?"
Upon hearing the palace servant's report, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and then quickly asked for clarification.
"Why did Princess Weiyang kneel outside the palace instead of entering? Did she say anything?"
The palace servants dared not hesitate and immediately repeated what Zhu Yuxuan had just said.
"After Princess Weiyang knelt down, she shouted loudly that the Duke of Zhenguo was unjustly imprisoned and begged His Majesty to have mercy and restore the Duke of Zhenguo's innocence!"
Upon hearing the palace servant's reply, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and the beard on both sides of his philtrum almost stood up.
Not to mention the guards outside the Fengxian Hall, even he himself never expected that his good daughter would do such a thing.
To put it nicely, Zhu Yuxuan's action was to ask for favors; to put it bluntly, it was to coerce the emperor.
With so many palace servants in front of him, he couldn't say anything, so he could only complain inwardly.
"Why did this girl come here at a time like this to cause trouble? She's putting us in a very difficult position!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was also helpless. His plans were at a critical moment, and the people he sent out had already found some clues.
