Chapter 1404
While wiping Zhu Yuxuan's body, Empress Ma asked in a slightly reproachful tone.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuxuan, who was unconscious, twitched her eyelashes and then let out a long sigh of relief.
After sitting up, he hugged himself with both arms and looked at Empress Ma with a pitiful expression.
"Mother, I didn't want this either. I just wanted to help my husband. I didn't want him to stay in the prison forever."
Although he was already in Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuxuan's clothes were still wet, and he was inevitably cold.
Therefore, her voice still trembled when she spoke. Seeing this, Empress Ma slowly shook her head and said:
"Lie down first, and I'll explain in detail later."
"what?"
Zhu Yuxuan was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he did not understand what Empress Ma meant and why he should lie down.
Seeing this, Empress Ma spoke up to explain.
"Your clothes are soaked through, and you've been exposed to the cold wind for a long time. You need to warm yourself up as soon as possible."
She said something simple, and then Empress Ma turned to the outside and said something else.
"Someone, bring the stove over!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuxuan realized that Empress Ma wanted her to continue lying down and pretending to be unconscious, so she simply lay down again.
Before long, a stove for heating was brought over, and at the same time, Empress Ma summoned several palace maids to help Zhu Yuxuan change his clothes.
After the palace maids finished their work and left, Zhu Yuxuan sat up at Empress Ma's prompting.
"Tell me! Why did you do this? Aren't you afraid something might happen to the baby in your belly?"
Hearing Empress Ma's slightly stern voice, Zhu Yuxuan shrank back and explained in a low voice:
"Reporting to Mother, my husband said he was going to the imperial prison after he returned home that day because it involved the money shop case. I wanted to help my husband."
Upon hearing this, Empress Ma frowned slightly and questioned her.
"Is this how you help Xiaowu? Taking his only child and risking your life? Yuxuan, your actions are too reckless!"
"Mother, I know I was wrong, but I had no other choice but to do it."
Zhu Yuxuan immediately apologized, and then continued to explain:
"The whole capital knows that my daughter and her husband are deeply in love. Now that her husband is imprisoned in the imperial prison, my daughter cannot do nothing."
“Otherwise, the thieves hiding behind the money shop case will definitely become suspicious, which is why I thought of entering the palace and kneeling before the Fengxian Hall to beg my father.”
"I thought my father would guess my intentions and secretly order someone to ask my mother to take me away, but I was too foolish."
"We should have tried to inform Father first, and then come. It's good that Mother came, otherwise this child would have been in real danger."
As she spoke, Zhu Yuxuan gently stroked her stomach with both hands, her face full of self-blame and guilt.
After hearing Zhu Yuxuan's explanation and seeing her current state, Empress Ma could no longer blame her.
Although Empress Ma did not know the details of Wei Wu's imprisonment, based on the information currently available...
With her intelligence, she could guess the general idea, and she could also understand why Zhu Yuxuan did this.
She herself once carried freshly baked pancakes to the prison to feed Zhu Yuanzhang, burning the flesh on her chest in the process.
So, after Zhu Yuxuan finished speaking, Empress Ma looked at her with some pity.
"You silly girl! You could have told your father about this beforehand! Didn't Xiao Wu give him that walkie-talkie?"
"Why didn't Xiao Wu leave a walkie-talkie at home? Or did you not know that your father had a walkie-talkie?"
Upon hearing Empress Ma's words, Zhu Yuxuan was taken aback for a moment, and said with a hint of helplessness, "
"Mother, my husband did leave a walkie-talkie at home, but I didn't know that Father also had one."
Zhu Yuxuan genuinely didn't know about this matter. After Wei Wu sent Zhu Yuanzhang the walkie-talkie, he went to deal with the rubber tree issue.
