"Father-in-law, the wet nurse is here."
Zhu Ming was still struggling in Yun Qi's hands, and a young eunuch had already ran in from outside.
Seeing Yun Qi teasing the baby brought into the palace by the emperor, he subconsciously slowed down his tone and whispered a reminder.
"Oh? Call her in quickly."
Only then did Yun Qi stop torturing Zhu Ming and turned around to give instructions to the young eunuch.
This was something the emperor had ordered to take care of, and he didn't dare to be careless.
At this moment, in Zhu Ming's eyes, the young eunuch and the wet nurse were simply lifesavers.
"Little guy, are you hungry?"
The little eunuch responded and stepped back. Yun Qicai turned back and smiled at Zhu Ming.
Zhu Ming didn't want to pay attention to him, but when Yun Qi said it, he realized that he was almost hungry.
Babies always get hungry quickly, so Zhu Ming has no choice but to put his fingers in his mouth and suck on them, expressing his intention through actions.
"Father-in-law."
Not long after the little eunuch left, he brought the nanny over and saluted Yunqi.
Yunqi just hummed and handed Zhu Ming into the nanny's hands.
If this person is starving, something big will happen.
"What a cute baby."
The nanny took Zhu Ming and held him in her arms. Looking at the little baby, the tenderness in her eyes was almost dripping with water.
Zhu Ming didn't care so much, and used his clumsy hands and feet to crawl towards the wet nurse's heart.
"I'm so hungry."
The wet nurse giggled and unbuttoned her clothes, revealing a patch of white flowers.
"I'm still a child, I guess... no one will care about me."
Zhu Ming looked at the white flowers and hesitated.
Although his body is that of a child, his consciousness is still that of an adult. Seeing this scene, it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts.
How embarrassing.
However, I am still a child, so no one should care about me.
Zhu Ming shook the dirty thoughts out of his mind, went up to it, and started eating.
After eating and drinking, and stretching his fat hands and feet, Zhu Ming felt that his eyelids were beginning to become heavier.
In the blink of an eye, he fell asleep in the nanny's arms.
A child's body still gets sleepy after eating.
"Sir, the child is asleep."
The wet nurse whispered to Yun Qi, looked at Zhu Ming in her arms, and slowly patted the child with her hands, for fear of waking up the child.
"You can stay in the palace from now on."
Yun Qi looked at Zhu Ming being coaxed by the wet nurse and nodded with satisfaction.
As long as the child likes her as a nanny.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Afraid of waking Zhu Ming, the nanny's movements became softer and she just bowed slightly.
Yun Qi turned around and arranged for a few more attentive little eunuchs to take care of the nanny before starting to walk towards the main hall.
"My lord! My lord!"
After Chen Ling found out about the eunuch, she went straight to the Zhenfu Division.
As a Jinyiwei, his intuition told him that this matter was by no means that simple.
If this involves the palace, he and his small family cannot handle it.
Before anyone arrived, he had already started shouting.
"What's the matter, so panicked?"
Erhu was looking at the files on the table when he heard Chen Ling's panicked voice and raised his head with some dissatisfaction.
How unbecoming is this flustered look?
"Your Majesty brought back the child..."
Chen Ling looked at Erhu with some worry and stopped mid-sentence.
Erhu reacted immediately, turned to look at the other Jin Yiwei, and sent them all out.
"That child was probably abandoned by an old eunuch..."
The matter was so important that Chen Ling did not dare to hide anything and told everything he had found out.
The more Erhu listened, the more solemn his expression became.
If this child was really brought out by...the palace eunuch, then this matter would be serious.
"You immediately send more manpower to chase him. You must find that eunuch for me."
Erhu also realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment and immediately gave instructions to Chen Ling.
After thinking for a moment, he pointed at Chen Ling and said, "You will come with me to the palace later to meet the Saint."
If this child is really of royal blood, if the emperor finds out, it will be another big case.
He has served the current saint for many years and knows his temperament very well.
"So, the kid is asleep?"
In the imperial city, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial in his hand and frowned more and more.
For the floods in Henan, so many ministers just couldn't come up with a reasonable disaster relief method. It's really not even a worry-free one.
It was only when he heard Yun Qi reporting on the child's current situation that his brows relaxed.
Yun Qi remembered the child's appearance, smiled, and said again: "This is the first time I have seen such a spiritual child in so many years."
He also liked the boy the emperor brought back from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Royal Guards wishes to see you."
Zhu Yuanzhang was still about to say something when he saw a young eunuch walking in and bowing.
"Perhaps the origin of this child has been revealed."
Yun Qi said with a smile, and then respectfully stepped back and stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Let him in."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, put away the memorial in his hand, and put it aside.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's summons, Erhu and Chen Ling hurried in and knelt down when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Tell me, has the child's life experience been found out?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Ling who followed Er Hu in, and asked aloud.
Erhu didn't dare to stand up. He turned around and looked at Chen Ling beside him, and then said in a deep voice: "The child's matter is in a special situation. I am here to report it."
Chen Ling then recounted everything he found.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he stood up from his chair excitedly and walked to Er Hu and Chen Ling.
When Erhu and Chen Ling saw this, they lowered their heads a little more and did not dare to breathe.
"So, that child really came out of this palace?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang asked, there was deathly silence in the hall, and no one dared to answer.
If this child was really brought out by the eunuch, Zhu Yuanzhang could only think of a few possibilities...
Either the guard had an affair with a palace maid, or he was the prince's grandson.
After all, he is already old and has not favored a palace maid for a long time.
But among the princes, the eldest has already gone to various places to join the feudal vassal, and the younger one is too young...
All kinds of speculations flashed through the mind of the country's leader. Zhu Ming's face looked somewhat similar to Zhu Biao's. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a shadow of his Biao'er.
"Yunqi, go check to see which eunuchs have left the palace recently. Hurry!"
The more Zhu Yuanzhang talked, the more excited he became, and he almost shouted the last two words.
"yes!"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was in such a hurry, Yun Qi did not dare to neglect him. After saying yes, he trotted out of the palace.
When Erhu and Chen Ling saw this, they lowered their heads in fear, almost touching the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, so they didn't dare to stand up. Even if their legs and knees were numb, they didn't dare to move.
