After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Yunwen stopped talking.

Zhu Biao was also his father, how could he not be sad?

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang loves him so much now is also because of Zhu Biao.

Zhu Ming saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bad mood, and now was the time for him to show his value, so he stretched out his bare hand and patted Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

Noticing the movement coming from his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced down.

After seeing Zhu Ming's lovely eyes, I felt a little more relaxed.

These two days, thanks to this lovable child, I was able to get over the sadness of Zhu Biao's death.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but hold Zhu Ming's hand in his, waved it, and smiled.

"Grandpa Emperor, who is this child?"

It was then that Zhu Yunwen noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a child in his arms. He was stunned for a moment before he asked.

I haven’t heard of any uncle having another child recently. Where did this come from?

Could it be that he is his uncle again? No way...

"This is the darling grandson we brought back."

While Zhu Yuanzhang was teasing Zhu Ming, he introduced him to Zhu Yunwen.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's attention was attracted by this child, Zhu Yunwen's emotions became complicated.

First of all, someone could make his grandfather laugh, so he was naturally happy.

Secondly, she felt that a lot of the Emperor's love for her seemed to have been taken away by this child.

"correct……"

Zhu Yuanzhang teased Zhu Ming, as if he remembered something, paused for a moment, then looked up at Zhu Yunwen and asked casually, "How is Lu doing recently?"

According to Yunqi and Erhu's previous investigation, Zhu Ming's affairs were also inextricably linked to Zhu Biao's Crown Princess Lu.

"Mother is still the same as always, missing father every day and losing her appetite."

Thinking of his mother's grief-stricken look, Zhu Yunwen felt sad again.

"Is that all?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little bit sorry for Zhu Yunwen when he saw his expression like that.

But remembering that Zhu Ming's background had not been clarified yet, he started asking again.

"If there is more, I don't know."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion.

Why do I feel that Grandpa Huang is a little strange today?

"I understand. You go down first. It's time for us to go to court."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked Zhu Yunwen up and down, and after making sure that Zhu Yunwen really knew nothing, he waved his hand and let Zhu Yunwen retreat.

Now, it's almost time to go to court.

"Yes."

Although Zhu Yunwen was still confused, he nodded, stood up, bowed again, and retreated respectfully.

It was not until he walked out of the palace that he waved to a passing eunuch.

"Your Highness..."

Zhu Yunwen was Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved grandson, so the eunuch naturally did not dare to disobey him and walked over with some concern.

"What's going on with that kid in the palace?"

Zhu Yunwen lowered his voice and asked the young eunuch, looking back to make sure no one was watching.

"Your Highness, the child was picked up by His Majesty when he was out for a trip the day before yesterday."

Picked it up...

Zhu Yunwen nodded, then waved his hand to let the eunuch retreat.

The Emperor was acting so abnormally today, maybe it had something to do with this child who was picked up.

"Okay, my dear grandson, we have to go to court."

Zhu Yuanzhang teased Zhu Ming again, and finally pinched Zhu Ming's face, then reluctantly let Zhu Ming go and turned to walk out of the hall.

There are still many government affairs waiting for him to deal with in this court.

"Mother, mother!"

Zhu Yunwen came out of the side hall and ran straight to the East Palace, shouting anxiously.

Mrs. Lu was wearing a white dress and sitting in the seat of honor with a sad face. Her originally beautiful face now looked much more haggard.

It seems that Zhu Biao's death was too much of a blow to her.

"What's wrong, Yun-Wen?"

Seeing Zhu Yunwen in a hurry after paying his respects to Zhu Yuanzhang, Lu could only support her weak body and ask.

Why are you in such a hurry to pay your respects?

"When I went to pay my respects to Grandpa Huang, I saw a child. I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that the child was picked up by Grandpa Huang and must be an abandoned baby."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Lu and told her everything he knew.

"A child you found?"

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Lu, who was still in grief, tensed up, then returned to her normal state, sighing and saying, "Who cares if he's a child? If His Majesty likes him, just let him go. You go down first."

Although Zhu Yunwen was a little confused, he just responded and retreated obediently.

When she saw Zhu Yunwen leave, Lu's expression became nervous.

This abandoned baby, it can't be such a coincidence.

For the sake of Yunwen's throne, killing a few people is not a big deal, but if this gets to the emperor, it will be a big deal...

"Have you ever met this man?"

Chen Ling sat upright on a bench. On both sides stood a dozen Jinyiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms and long swords on their waists, looking coldly at the old man kneeling in front of them.

As he said this, he threw a portrait of a woman over.

All women who entered the palace were recorded in a book, so it was not difficult to find the hometown of the palace maids who were driven out.

Chen Ling brought the Jinyiwei and looked for him according to the booklet.

The old man kneeling on the ground was the village chief of this place.

Looking at so many Jinyiwei armed with knives, the village chief also realized the seriousness of the matter. He picked up the portrait from the ground tremblingly and looked at it for a while.

“I have seen it, I have seen it…”

After seeing the person in the portrait clearly, the village chief nodded repeatedly, not daring to hide anything.

"This person is from a family named Li in the village. She was chosen to enter the palace because of her beauty. Later, for some unknown reason, she was kicked out and became pregnant."

When Chen Ling heard the village chief say that the palace maid was pregnant when she came back, her brows furrowed even more.

Could it be that I really guessed it right?

"Then where is she now?"

Chen Ling stood up from the bench, walked towards the village chief and began to question him.

Under Chen Ling's terrifying sense of oppression, the village chief lowered his head in fear.

"The woman died during childbirth, leaving behind only a child who was raised by her parents. Fortunately, she brought a lot of money with her when she left the palace, so she was able to raise the child."

As he spoke, the village chief seemed to remember something horrible, raised his head and looked at Chen Ling.

"Oh, one night, the villagers were drinking with Li Da, and he said after drinking that this child would at least become a prince, and they would be royal relatives."

"At first everyone thought that Li Da was drunk and talking nonsense, until a few days ago a group of eunuchs came up with people and took them away."
