章 128: Zhu Zhi's Death

On top of the Zhu family members, the Second Mistress of the Ji Manor was also worried about Zhu Hecheng.

She was distraught by the news of her eldest brother being captured, and she could neither sleep nor eat well for the past few days. The next day, she quickly sent people to the Zhu Manor to find out more information.

She was waiting in her room when Ji Ze returned from the imperial court. When she saw him, she hastily asked, "Ze'er, do you have any news about your uncle when you were in the palace?"

Ji Ze frowned and shook his head slowly.

He had very few chances to meet the Emperor despite being an attendant in his studies. He only heard from his colleagues that the Emperor was enraged and commanded for a thorough investigation, but nobody knew exactly what the results and outcomes of the investigation were. No one dared to discuss it openly.
