It wasn't until evening that Yun Qi quickly ran in from outside the palace gate.
After nearly a day, the legs of Erhu and others on the ground were numb.
"Say it."
As soon as Yun Qi entered the door, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask more questions.
"Back to the Emperor, I was ordered to check out the eunuchs who have been in and out of the palace recently. Only Zhang Zhong, the old eunuch next to the Crown Princess of the East Palace, has records."
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, Yun Qi did not dare to hide anything. He carefully observed Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions before speaking out with a complicated expression.
In order to let Zhu Yuanzhang understand more clearly, Yun Qi paused and then added: "The young eunuch in the East Palace said that just a few days ago, Zhang Zhong was seen leaving the palace with dozens of guards. Those guards today Everyone has returned to the East Palace, but Zhang Zhong is nowhere to be seen."
After listening to Yun Qi's report, Zhu Yuanzhang began to walk back and forth nervously.
Even Chen Ling and Er Hu, who were kneeling on the ground, were thankful that they reported such a big matter as soon as possible and did not get into trouble.
"Tell me, you've been there for so long, so you can't just check these things, right?"
Seeing Yun Qi stop, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him impatiently and asked him to continue.
His intuition told him that there must be some kind of connection behind this.
"Yes, I also found out that just seven months ago, the Crown Princess kicked a palace maid out of the East Palace. I suspect that this is also related to Zhang Zhong's departure from the palace."
Seven months, if you are pregnant, it is the time when the pregnancy begins to show.
"East Palace, the concubine from seven months ago, the old eunuch..."
After listening to Yun Qi's report, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped walking and began to think deeply.
All of this started to connect in his mind.
Seemingly realizing something, Zhu Yuanzhang turned cold and glared at the two Jin Yiwei, Er Hu and Chen Ling.
"You guys should find out about that palace maid for us, and you must keep it a secret from us. If we hear about it outside, you guys will all die."
Naturally, Erhu and the others did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's order. Even Yun Qi ran to them and knelt down beside them, saying in unison: "Yes."
After walking out of the imperial city shakily, Erhu and Chen Ling let out a sigh of relief.
"I will leave this matter to you with full authority. If it is done well, it will have the merit of finding the emperor's grandson."
Erhu patted Chen Ling on the shoulder and entrusted the matter.
Chen Ling couldn't care less about her weak legs at the moment, and nodded with some fear.
The first time he entered the palace to meet the saint, he almost frightened him to death.
But this errand is indeed as Erhu said. If it is done well, the future will be bright.
After arranging the work of Erhu and others, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his seat and began to read the memorial again.
This flood in the Yellow River cannot be delayed for a moment.
It wasn't until the moon came out that Zhu Yuanzhang settled the government affairs, got up and walked to the side hall.
With the idea that Zhu Ming is his darling grandson, the more he looks at Zhu Ming, the more he likes him.
These eyebrows are more and more similar to his gentle and elegant look.
"Whether you are our good grandson or not, we treat you as our grandson."
He whispered, reaching out to pick up the sleeping Zhu Ming.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's movements were very gentle, he still woke up Zhu Ming.
Seeing the old man's face getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, Zhu Ming, who was a little sleepy, subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.
It's just the baby's appearance and fleshy hands that are equally endearing no matter what they do.
"It would be great if you were really our good grandson."
Seeing Zhu Ming's cute look, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold back the affection in his heart, and just rubbed his face against Zhu Ming's tender skin.
Zhu Ming, a baby, couldn't stop him, so he could only let him rub against him, and finally gave up resistance.
"After all, he is the emperor. If you like, let him do it. It is better than being killed by him."
Zhu Ming could only think so in his heart.
That night, Zhu Yuanzhang fell asleep in the side hall where Zhu Ming was accommodated.
The news that the emperor had picked up an abandoned baby and kept it in the palace and loved it so much spread throughout the palace.
"Grandpa Huang, Yunwen wishes you well."
Early the next morning, Zhu Yunwen led a group of people to stand outside the palace and shouted loudly, but no one in the palace responded.
After a long time, I saw a young eunuch running out of the palace and standing respectfully in front of Zhu Yunwen and the emperor's grandsons.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty spent the night in the side hall last night and has not come back yet."
After all, Zhu Yunwen was Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved grandson, and they did not dare to neglect him.
"Good work."
Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a while, then cupped his hands towards the young eunuch and walked towards the side hall.
"My dear grandson, we really like this little face."
Zhu Yuanzhang got up early and held Zhu Ming in his arms. He couldn't put it down and pinched Zhu Ming's face as he spoke.
Zhu Ming could only let him fiddle with it and sighed helplessly.
This early in the morning, I am already a baby, why don’t I get enough sleep?
"Your Majesty, the emperor's eldest grandson is outside the door asking to see you."
Zhu Yuanzhang was teasing Zhu Ming happily, when a eunuch bowed at the door and reported.
Zhu Yuanzhang's hand paused, as if thinking of his deceased son again, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in."
"The emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Yunwen?"
Sensing that Zhu Yuanzhang was depressed, Zhu Ming also calmed down wisely, stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
With Zhu Ming's comfort, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down a little.
Not long after the young eunuch went down, a young man came in, stood at the door, bowed and saluted: "Grandpa Huang, Yun Wen has come to say hello."
"Um."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen and nodded.
Zhu Ming also followed his gaze towards the door. He saw a gentle and elegant young man in splendid clothes.
Although there is a sense of intelligence in his eyebrows, he lacks some agility and every move is orderly.
It is no wonder that such a person would listen to the words of those bookworms Fang Xiaoru, and in the end the country fell into the hands of his uncle Zhu Di.
"Yunwen, why are you here?"
Not long after Zhu Biao passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen and his emotions were a little uncontrollable.
The tone is also quite soft.
"I heard that Grandpa Huang is back, so I came here to pay my respects. My father is in heaven and I don't want Grandpa Huang to be so sad."
Zhu Yunwen responded.
"Oh, Yunwen, your father just left like this..."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt sad again and let out a long sigh. How could he just let go of the pain of losing his son?
What's more, Zhu Biao is still his most beloved child, and he originally planned to hand over the Ming Dynasty into Zhu Biao's hands.
