Only now did the pro-army captain see clearly that it was Nannan and Zhu Bai. He was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, King Xiang, makes atonement. I have no intention of causing a collision."
When Wu Zhen saw it was Zhu Bai, he quickly asked someone to put him down. He half-knelt down and saluted Zhu Bai: "Your Highness."
Before Zhu Bai had time to speak, Nannan stood up, hugged Wu Zhen and said, "Dad, I am Bao'er. I am Bao'er."
Wu Zhen stared at his daughter with eyes wide open for a long time before saying, "Bao'er, Bao'er. You've grown so big. Why are you here? It's so hard for your parents to find you."
Nannan cried so hard that she couldn't speak: "I am your baby, dad, I am looking for you too."
Wu Zhen hugged her tightly, his eyes darkened and he fainted.
Zhu Bai sighed: So you were waiting for him...
-----
After hearing the news, Mrs. Wu came from Dingyuan and met her mother and daughter. The two hugged each other and cried again.
Nannan was taken away by Yazi when she was watching lanterns in Changzhou when she was five years old. During this period, she was resold many times.
She herself didn't remember how many places she had been or where she was from. She only knew that her surname was Wu and that her father was a military general.
Wu Zhen and his wife told her that if she was outside, she must not tell anyone that she was the daughter of the Wu family.
Because Wu Zhen killed too many Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates wanted him to die. If the Japanese pirates knew Wu Baoer's identity, they would do everything possible to catch Wu Baoer, then torture and humiliate her.
Therefore, Wu Baoer did not dare to reveal any information about his identity.
She vaguely remembered that she had been taken to Yingtian by her father, and firmly believed that Wu Zhen would come back to Yingtian one day, so she followed Zhu Bai to Yingtian and stubbornly waited for him here.
Wu Zhen fought on the battlefield throughout his life and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, saving countless people from being displaced and separated from their families.
Now that he can find his long-lost daughter, it can be considered a good deed.
Even Lao Zhu didn't expect that Nannan turned out to be Wu Zhen's lost daughter, and was deeply moved.
Queen Ma secretly marveled. At first she thought that Nannan must come from a wealthy family, but she didn't expect that she was really one of her own.
Wu Zhen was seriously injured and bedridden.
Old Zhu En allowed him not to enter the palace and personally brought the imperial doctor to visit him.
Accompanying Lao Zhu were Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao.
As soon as Mrs. Wu saw Zhu Bai, she took Wu Baoer and her son Wu Zhong and kowtowed to Zhu Bai: "Kowtow to King Xiang. If it weren't for His Highness King Xiang, our mother and daughter might not be able to meet each other in this life. If it weren't for King Xiang's protection, my daughter would be afraid. It means living in a brothel or as a slave in someone else's house, and living in misery for the rest of your life."
He could bear this prayer.
It is true that he has been supporting and protecting Wu Baoer in the past few years.
Zhu Bai nodded lightly: "Fortunately, she still remembers Mr. Wu's appearance, otherwise I would not be able to find a match for her."
Wu Baoer raised his head and looked at Zhu Bai. He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but he only said one last sentence: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. The daughter of the people has nothing to repay."
Zhu Bai nodded slightly and accepted.
In fact, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were both watching the excitement, waiting to see Zhu Bai's reaction when he saw Wu Baoer again.
After all, the two of them had never seen each other since Wu Baoer followed Wu Zhen home that day at the gate of Guanya Bureau.
As a result, Zhu Bai was so calm that he seemed to be meeting an unrelated person.
Not to mention Wu Baoer, even Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao felt a little disappointed: they were indeed too young...
After the imperial doctor checked Wu Zhen's pulse, he just told Wu Zhen to take good care of himself and that there was nothing serious.
After leaving the Wu Mansion, Lao Zhu said to the imperial doctor: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
The imperial doctor sighed: "Mr. Wu's injuries are caused by curare poison and wind and cold. He has added new injuries. I'm afraid there is no cure. One more day will be spent."
Lao Zhu was stunned for a long time, and then said in a trembling voice: "About how long can I live?"
The imperial doctor said: "It can take as little as one month, and as long as three months."
Lao Zhu lost his voice: "How could it be so serious..."
Zhu Biao hurriedly winked at the imperial doctor and said, "Now Master Wu has returned to Yingtian. With good doctors and good medicine, he will surely get better."
The imperial doctor could only say: "Yes, if you take good care of yourself, it's not impossible."
-----
Wu Zhen did not last more than three months and died in the early morning of the first day of winter in the eleventh year of Hongwu.
The Wu family's mother and daughter are now orphans and widowed, which is really pitiful.
Fortunately, Wu Baoer also has a brother named Wu Zhong.
Lao Zhu felt very sad: the old friends who followed him to conquer the world have passed away one after another.
Thinking about his military life and his strength, he could not escape the word "death" in the end.
He rarely stayed away from court for two days, and sat in the imperial study in a daze for a whole day.
There was no call for meal delivery at noon.
Queen Ma was very anxious when she heard this.
Over the years, Lao Zhu has been fighting in the north and south, with ups and downs. He has encountered everything, but he has never been so decadent.
Even if we are surrounded by enemies and have no resources but only wild vegetable pancakes, we still have to eat a whole bowl of them.
She hurriedly cooked millet porridge with her own hands, prepared several appetizers, and carried them to the imperial study room.
When Lao Zhu saw Queen Ma making porridge with her own hands, he couldn't help but give her face. He reluctantly took two bites and then put it down.
Empress Ma said warmly: "Your Majesty, please let me have a few more bites."
Lao Zhu shook his head: "I won't eat it."
Empress Ma's eyes turned red: "If the emperor feels uncomfortable, please tell me and let me hear it. Don't bore yourself."
Lao Zhu forced a smile: "It's nothing."
Why can't he say that he is afraid of death? Then where should he put his face?
Queen Ma had no other choice but to quietly wipe her tears and take the things away.
Zhu Biao came in and kowtowed: "Father, if you have something in your heart, you can hit me twice, don't make your body angry."
Lao Zhu: "Good boy, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to be like this."
The more he said this, the more frightened Zhu Biao became, but he did not dare to cry in front of Lao Zhu, otherwise he would make Lao Zhu even more unhappy.
Zhu Biao could only retreat, and stood under a tree in the distance with Queen Ma and her son to discuss: "What should we do?"
"Father didn't take a few bites of dinner last night."
I saw Zhu Bai coming slowly from a distance.
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up: "Ask Lao Twelve to persuade my father, maybe it will work."
He hurriedly waved to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai: "Hey, brother, why is the queen standing here?"
Zhu Biao told the story of Lao Zhu who had been absent from court for two days and had no desire to eat.
Zhu Bai frowned slightly: Nothing can happen to Lao Zhu. Even if it is not for myself, I must ensure that Lao Zhu lives healthy and healthy until 99, for Concubine Hu Shun.
You have to find a way to get him to think about it.
He turned around and asked Fugui to do something, and he came to the imperial study room.
Zhu Bai poked his head into the royal study and smiled at Lao Zhu: "Master, don't you want to shoot a slingshot?"
Lao Zhu managed to cheer up: "Why do you have time to come to us to play slingshot today? On weekdays, I want you to play with us, but you can run faster than a rabbit."
Zhu Bai sneered: "Before, I thought I was too powerful and I couldn't beat Erchen, so I avoided him. But this time I traveled all over the northwest and couldn't find anyone who was better than Erchen. It was boring. It's more interesting to play with me." "
Lao Zhu snorted: "Haha, you are wise, you always play with people who are not good enough, and you also lower your own level."
