Yongle was pregnant. Not to mention that the little princess was not mentally prepared for this. Even Lu Hanjiang himself had an unreal feeling, but the fact was right in front of him.
Three doctors were invited one after another to diagnose Yongle's pulse and all came to the same conclusion. The princess was indeed pregnant. This made all the royal guards shocked. At the same time, with Ying Wushang's timely reminder, they all began to congratulate Lu Hanjiang in unison.
"Well... it's indeed something worth being happy about. Well, thank you very much." Lu Hanjiang lowered his eyes and fell on Yongle's belly that had not yet revealed his pregnancy, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
When the good news came out about Princess Yongle, not only everyone in Jinyiwei came to congratulate her, but even the owner and steward of the restaurant were crying with joy. God knows how desperate they felt when they were targeted by a group of evil spirits with embroidered spring knives.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm, no, it should be said to be a blessing in disguise. Lu Hanjiang was careless and didn't notice it, but Yongle's personal maid Amber took it seriously. She secretly sent a few girls to take the money and disperse it to the people in the restaurant as an apology.
It's a happy occasion.
Real money and silver were placed in front of him, and the owner of the restaurant smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits. He even took out the words of congratulations as if they were free of charge, and all the previous unhappiness was wiped away.
A group of people were happy, but Shangluo said the most important thing at the moment. Yongle was pregnant, and he would definitely not be able to run around with them like before. Even if the adults were fine, the child couldn't bear it.
Lu Hanjiang was convinced after hearing this, so he thought about it and wrote a letter to Wu Qiming in Beijing. On the one hand, he informed the other party of the news, and on the other hand, he also wanted to pass the news to the old man through the other party.
Since Meng Yuan faked his death, he has been very strict in keeping secrets. Except for his elusive colleague Qiu Qingyun, no third person knows his whereabouts.
The only person who could contact Qiu Qingyun was Wu Qiming, and even the commander Lu Hanjiang didn't know how to find him.
When Wu Qiming received the news, his reaction was even more unexpected. After half a month's journey from the capital, Mr. Qianshi arrived at Lu Hanjiang in only seven days.
Looking at Wu Qiming, whose hair was a little messy, Lu Hanjiang was also surprised. This was the first time he had seen Wu Qiming in such a mess.
"Master Wu, what are you doing?" Lu Hanjiang looked at the other person up and down, somewhat dumbfounded.
Wu Qiming took his breath and stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the commander...this is not the place to talk."
Wu Qiming winked at Lu Hanjiang, who understood, and the two of them entered the other room of the guardhouse, expelling all the Jinyi guards including Ying Wushang, leaving only the two of them.
Wu Qiming took a long breath. After he regained his breath, he stared at Lu Hanjiang seriously and asked: "Your Excellency sent a letter a few days ago, saying that Your Highness the Princess is pregnant...is this true?"
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt funny and said: "Why, do you think I can still joke about this kind of thing?"
When Wu Qiming heard this, he muttered a little, and sighed quietly: "It's really not the right time."
The corner of Lu Hanjiang's mouth twitched slightly: "Hey, Lao Wu, I'm still standing in front of you. Can I talk to you?"
Wu Qiming was stunned and quickly apologized: "I made a mistake while humble in my position. Don't blame me, sir."
Lu Hanjiang waved his hands and didn't take the matter to heart. In fact, he also knew why Wu Qiming blurted out these words, because it was really not the right time.
Earlier in Beijing, when Shang Luo was making a fool of himself, news of Yongle's pregnancy also spread. Although everyone laughed it off as a result of the farce, there were indeed certain details worth noting.
For example, after the news of Yongle's pregnancy came out, there was an immediate reaction in the palace. His Majesty the Emperor even directly issued a verbal order asking the princess to return to the palace to raise the fetus. This was obviously unusual.
In such a forbidden place, even if Yongle is the most favored princess, it is impossible for her to go to such a place to raise a child. It doesn't matter whether it is in compliance with the rules or not. This kind of thing has no precedent even for a holy grace.
The emperor's strange reaction made Lu Hanjiang suspicious, so even though no one mentioned it, he was still a little wary of His Majesty the Emperor.
Because of such a thing, for Yongle and him, it was best to wait until the old emperor Long Yu Bintian to consider matters like children, so as to avoid future troubles.
But this can't be blamed on Lu Hanjiang. Although Yongle chatted every day, like a child who has not grown up, the two of them were married couples, not only in name but also in reality. It was impossible to really play house with them every day.
It feels like home.
If something like this happened, it could only be said that it was God's will and force majeure, but Lu Hanjiang also admitted that the timing was indeed bad.
After Wu Qiming received confirmation from Lu Hanjiang, he sighed deeply and took out a token from his arms.
"This is?"
When Lu Hanjiang saw the token, he could not hide his surprise. As the commander of the Imperial Guards, he was not unfamiliar with this token. This was a forbidden imperial order, enforced by His Majesty. Seeing the order
It's like His Majesty is here in person.
Lu Hanjiang looked at Wu Qiming in surprise. He did not expect that such a thing would be on Mr. Wu's body.
Wu Qiming took a deep breath and solemnly said: "His Majesty has told you that His Royal Highness Yongle is pregnant and orders Commander Lu Hanjiang to bring the princess safely back to the capital immediately. Don't neglect it."
Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't know when Master Wu became His Majesty's man?"
Wu Qiming lowered his eyes and smiled, but did not answer. Lu Hanjiang's lips curled up slightly, and he lowered his voice and said with a half-smile: "No - I should say, when did the old man make you become His Majesty's servant?"
Wu Qiming put away the token, bowed respectfully, and said in a calm tone: "Master Lu, this is not an appropriate question to ask. All the Jinyi Guards are His Majesty's people, aren't they?"
Lu Hanjiang laughed: "That's right, I asked the wrong question. Thank you, Mr. Wu, for pointing it out."
Wu Qiming lowered his head and played with the jade ring between his fingers. He said calmly: "Although the humble post is a person who has received His Majesty's holy grace and was promoted from the army to the Jinyi Guard, but before that, it was Master Meng who had a keen eye for talents and arranged for the humble post.
Entered the army."
"I see."
Lu Hanjiang understood. He clicked his tongue twice and said with emotion: "Jiang is still hot when he is old. Could it be that the old man arranged this arrangement from the beginning...?"
Wu Qiming shook his head: "Mr. Meng and Your Majesty have known each other since the beginning of time. Over the decades, the relationship between the two has not changed. However, the once best friends have become the current monarchs and ministers. It is always different. As for the humble position, it is just because
It just happened to appear in this right place."
Lu Hanjiang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's all, I'm not interested in the past, but since Mr. Wu is willing to tell the secret, then I can still trust Mr. Wu, right?"
Wu Qiming bowed and said, "It depends on what you think, sir."
