"Men!"
Jiang Meng stared blankly for a while.
Then, he reacted and hurriedly shouted.
The Brocade Guard on duty outside hurriedly ran in.
" Sir, what are your orders??"
"This document was submitted by Baihu Song Zhong?" asked Jiang Meng.？”
"Yes!"
" Hurry up and call him to see me!!"
The Brocade Guard on duty was a little confused, but he did not dare to ask.
He quickly turned around and ran to find Song Zhong.
Liu He was a little puzzled when he saw this.
" Lord Jiang, this is??"
"Eunuch Liu, things are a little complicated.
The baby that His Majesty picked up seems to have an extraordinary identity…"
Jiang Meng explained carefully, then said,
"Eunuch Liu, please wait patiently. I have already sent someone to call the person in charge of this matter.
What was going on would be clear in a while!”
Hearing these words.
Liu He frowned, not understanding what Jiang Meng meant.
What did he mean by his background was not simple?
Could it be that the child was not an ordinary abandoned baby?？
Liu He couldn't figure it out, but he still waited patiently.
Very quickly.
Song Zhong, who received the news, rushed over.
These days, he was really anxious enough that his mouth was bubbling.
Fortunately, the clouds parted and the moon appeared.
Finally, he was summoned by Lord Jiang.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
He forced himself to calm down and bowed respectfully.
"This humble centenarian Song Zhong greets Lord Tongzhi!!”
"Forget it!"
Jiang Kongxu raised his head and then asked straightforwardly,"
"Is what you said in this document the truth?？”
Song Zhong hurriedly said,"
"This matter is of great importance. Even if I have great courage, I don't dare to spout nonsense.!”
"It is unexpected that there is such a thing…"
Although he had expected it, Jiang Meng was still a little shocked. He frowned and thought,
"In that case, it is not something that we can decide…"
As he spoke, he thought of Liu He and hurriedly instructed,
"Oh right, report the investigation to Eunuch Liu again!!”
Only then did Song Zhong notice Liu He in the room.
Then, he told Liu He again.
"This…"
When Liu He heard this, he sucked in a breath of cold air and widened his eyes.
He had originally thought that it was just an ordinary abandoned baby.
However, he did not expect that there would be such an unforeseen event behind it.
Song Zhong would never dare to lie.
Thus, according to the other party's guess.
This child was really very likely to be related to the palace…
If that was really the case, he would probably never be able to take in this grandson of his…
For a moment, Liu He was shocked speechless by this news.
After a while, Jiang Meng asked,"
"Eunuch Liu, do you think we should ask His Majesty to make the decision?？”
"Yes, we have to let His Majesty know!"
Liu He came back to his senses and stood up immediately. He hurriedly said,
"Quick, you and I will enter the palace and meet His Majesty!!”
Then, he walked out.
Just as he reached the door, he thought of something and pointed at Song Zhong.
"Oh right, he's going too…
Such a big matter, His Majesty would definitely have to personally intervene!”
"Yes!"
Jiang Meng didn't dare to delay and hurriedly agreed.
The few of them immediately rushed to the Imperial Palace.
......
Hall of Honesty.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just returned from Zhu Zheng's place, looked at Liu He and the others in disbelief.
"What did you say? The little fellow's mother had worked in the palace before.
And she got pregnant not long after she went out?？”
Jiang Meng hurriedly reported,
"Yes, we dare not hide anything from Your Majesty.
This was Song Zhong, one of my subordinates. He was in charge of investigating this matter, and he was also the one who found out the situation.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up.
He paced around with his hands behind his back, as if he was digesting this shocking news.
Then, his stalwart figure paused.
Turning around, he looked at Song Zhong with a sharp gaze and said word by word,"
"Tell us everything from the beginning to the end. Don't leave out the slightest detail!!”
His voice was like a dragon's roar, soul-stirring.
His aura was like a flood that had opened its floodgates. It was incomparably terrifying.
The might of an emperor was displayed vividly.
No one dared to look him in the eye.
Song Zhong could not help but kneel on the ground, as if he was carrying a towering mountain on his back. He could not even raise his head.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, not daring to delay.
He hurriedly repeated the matter while trembling. Finally, he added,
"The villagers are ignorant and do not know of the abnormality, but I have my suspicions.
After asking carefully, he found out that the child's mother was pregnant shortly after she came out of the palace.
In terms of timing, it was very strange.
Therefore, I boldly speculate that there is more to this than meets the eye.
This subject did not dare to be negligent and boldly reported to Your Majesty for a decision!!”
"Something's wrong…Something is indeed wrong…"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed as he muttered to himself.
Song Zhong had already made it very clear.
It was very likely that the little guy's mother had been pregnant when she was in the palace.
There was no wild man at all.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain it in terms of time.
Then, there were only two possibilities.
One was that the child's mother had an affair with a guard or something when she was working in the palace.
Moreover, he had been favored…
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had never visited any palace maids.
Apart from him, the only other person was Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
However, according to Zhu Biao's personality, if he visited a palace maid…
How could he have chased the other party out of the palace and even let his bloodline leak out?
This was almost impossible.
As for the other sons, those who had grown up were already outside, and the rest had yet to grow their hair.
If that was the case…
This woman was most likely having an affair with someone in the palace…
This was simply a huge palace scandal!!
Thinking of this…
Old Zhu couldn't help but be furious. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and he almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth.
"Alright, investigate, investigate properly for us. What exactly is going on!!”
"Yes, we will obey your orders!"
Jiang Meng and the others were shocked and hurriedly agreed.
Originally, they were still speculating if it was possible that the palace maid had been visited.
But now, it seemed that the situation was the worst…
With the Emperor's temper, there would probably be millions of corpses!!
However, this was a good thing for the Embroidered Uniform Guards…
Jiang Meng and Song Zhong muttered to themselves.
At this moment, Old Zhu said,"
"Oh, that's right. Your name is Song Zhong, right…"
"You've done well in the beginning. You'll be in charge of this matter from now on.
Jiang Meng, send someone to cooperate.
If it involved the palace, he would look for Liu He.
He must find out the truth in the shortest time possible.
Also, keep it a secret!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I thank Your Majesty for your kindness and will repay you with my life!!”
Song Zhong was overjoyed.
He understood that he had made the right bet this time.
The road to the blue clouds was right in front of him!
Jiang Meng hurriedly agreed.
Then, the two of them did not dare to delay and turned to leave.
He watched the two of them disappear.
Old Zhu returned to his seat in front of the Dragon Book with a gloomy expression, intending to continue handling government affairs.
However, after sitting there for a long time, he couldn't calm down.
Especially when he thought of the innocent smile that the little guy would only show him.
Her eyes were very similar to Empress Ma's.
As well as his closeness and dependence on him…
Old Zhu could not help but feel a wave of heartache, and his mood was extremely low.
It turned out that, at some unknown time.
That little fellow had already secretly taken a place in his heart.
It was just a pity that he had such a background…
Old Zhu threw down his imperial brush and sighed.
He leaned back in his chair and remained silent for a long time.
Beside him, Liu He lowered his head and lamented in his heart.
However, no matter how much he liked Zhu Zheng, he could not help him.
If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame the other party for having a bad life…
