Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"Father-in-law, the nurse is here."

Zhu Ming was still struggling in Yun Qi's hands when a young eunuch ran in from outside.

Seeing Yunqi teasing the baby brought into the palace by the emperor, he subconsciously slowed down his tone and reminded him in a low voice.

"Oh? Call her in."

Yun Qi then stopped torturing Zhu Ming and turned around to give instructions to the young eunuch.

This was something the Emperor had ordered to be looked after, so he did not dare to be careless.

At this moment, in Zhu Ming's eyes, this little eunuch and the wet nurse were simply his lifesavers.

"Little guy, are you hungry?"

The young eunuch responded and retreated. Yun Qi then turned around and smiled at Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming didn't want to pay attention to him, but after hearing what Yun Qi said, he realized that he was almost starving.

Babies always get hungry quickly, so Zhu Ming had no choice but to put his fingers into his mouth and suck on them to make his point clear.

"Father-in-law."

Not long after the young eunuch went out, he brought the wet nurse over and bowed to Yun Qi.

Yun Qi just nodded and handed Zhu Ming to the wet nurse.

If he gets hungry, it will be a big problem.

"What a cute baby."

The wet nurse took Zhu Ming, held him in her arms, and looked at the little baby with such tenderness in her eyes that it seemed as if tears were almost dripping from her eyes.

Zhu Ming didn't care about anything else. He used his still clumsy hands and feet to crawl towards the wet nurse's chest with great effort.

"This is because he is starving."

The nurse giggled, unbuttoned her clothes, revealing a patch of white.

"I'm still a child, so... no one should mind."

Zhu Ming looked at the white things and hesitated for a moment.

Although his body is that of a child, his consciousness is still that of an adult who is sober. Seeing this kind of scene, it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts.

How embarrassing.

But, I'm still a child, so no one should mind.

Zhu Ming threw away the unclean thoughts in his mind, leaned over, and started eating with a slurp.

After eating and drinking, and stretching his plump hands and feet, Zhu Ming felt his eyelids starting to feel heavy.

In just a blink of an eye, she fell asleep in her nurse's arms.

Children's bodies will feel sleepy after eating.

"My Lord, the child is asleep."

The wet nurse whispered something to Yun Qi, then looked at Zhu Ming in her arms and patted him slowly with her hands, moving so gently that she was afraid of waking the child.

"You will stay in the palace from now on."

Yun Qi looked at Zhu Ming who was being coaxed by the wet nurse and nodded with satisfaction.

As a wet nurse, it’s fine as long as the child likes it.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

For fear of waking up Zhu Ming, the nanny became gentler in her movements and just bent over slightly.

Yun Qi turned around and arranged a few careful eunuchs to take care of the wet nurse before walking towards the main hall.

"My lord! My lord!"

After finding out about the eunuch, Chen Ling went straight to the Pacification Office.

As a member of the Imperial Guard, his intuition told him that this matter was by no means that simple.

If this involves the palace, he, a mere centurion, will not be able to handle it.

He started shouting before anyone arrived.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

Erhu was looking at the files on the table. When he heard Chen Ling's panicked voice, he looked up with some dissatisfaction.

What a disgrace to be in such a panic.

"Your Majesty brought back the child..."

Chen Ling looked at Erhu with some concern and stopped talking halfway.

Erhu reacted immediately, turned around to look at the other Jinyiwei, and sent them all out.

"That child was most likely abandoned by an old eunuch..."

The matter was of great importance, so Chen Ling did not dare to hide anything and told everything she had found out.

The more Erhu listened, the more solemn his expression became.

If this child was really... taken away by a eunuch from the palace, then this would be a serious matter.

"Send more people to chase him immediately. Make sure to bring that eunuch back to me."

Erhu had now realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately gave instructions to Chen Ling.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed at Chen Ling and said, "You will follow me to the palace to see the emperor later."

If this child is really of royal blood and the emperor finds out, it will probably be another big case.

He has served the current emperor for many years and knows his temper very well.

"So the child is asleep?"

In the imperial city, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial in his hand, and his brows furrowed more and more.

Regarding the Henan flood, so many ministers simply couldn't come up with a reasonable disaster relief method, which really made people feel at ease.

Only when he heard Yunqi report on the child's recent situation did his brows relax.

Yun Qi thought of the child's appearance and smiled, then said, "This is the first time in all my years that I have seen such a smart child."

He also liked this boy brought back by the emperor from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Royal Guards requests to see you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to say something when he saw a young eunuch walk in and bow.

"Maybe the origin of this child has been found."

Yun Qi said this with a smile, then respectfully retreated 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, have you found out the background of that child?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Ling who came in with Erhu and asked.

Erhu did not dare to stand up. He turned his head to look at Chen Ling beside him, and then said in a deep voice: "The matter of that child is special, and we are here to report it."

Chen Ling then repeated everything she had found out.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly stood up from his chair and walked in front of Erhu and Chen Ling.

Seeing this, Erhu and Chen Ling lowered their heads even more and dared not breathe.

"So, that child really came out of this palace?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, the hall fell into deathly silence and no one dared to answer.

If the child was really taken away by a eunuch, Zhu Yuanzhang could only think of a few possibilities...

Either the child was born from the affair between a guard and a palace maid, or the child was a prince or grandson of the emperor.

After all, he was old and had not favored the palace maids for a long time.

But among the princes, the older ones have already gone to various places to be enfeoffed, and the younger ones are too young...

All kinds of speculations flashed through the mind of the ruler of this country. Zhu Ming's face was somewhat similar to Zhu Biao. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a shadow of Zhu Biao.

"Yunqi, go check which eunuchs have left the palace recently, quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more excited as he spoke, and he almost shouted the last two words.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so anxious, Yun Qi did not dare to be negligent. He responded and trotted out of the hall.

Seeing this, Erhu and Chen Ling lowered their heads in fear, almost sticking to the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, so they didn't dare to stand up. Even though their legs and feet were numb from kneeling, they didn't dare to move.
