Rebirth of the Son of Heart

It has been more than half a month since the Cao family disappeared from the Changping Hall for no reason. Although Liang Zhen is constantly investigating, he has found nothing.As the saying goes, there is no place to find if you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.Today, the Cuiping Building held a lantern festival, and Liang Zhen wanted to join in the fun when he had nothing to do. Watching the lanterns was secondary, and seeing the stunning beauty was his real intention.As it was getting dark, Liang Zhen changed his usual clothes, with his hair tied up in a green shirt, and a straight embroidered dress on the outside. On the way here, he bought a folding fan, walking in the market like a very gentle and elegant scholar.

Liang Zhen arrived in front of Cuiping Tower and saw Wei Jingyuan and Wenmingzhuang from the crowd.Liang Zhen saw that the two were chatting happily, so he didn't step forward to interrupt, but found a place with few people and waited.After half a stick of incense, Liang Zhen saw that Wei Jingyuan and Wen Mingzhuang had entered the Cuiping Tower together, and at this time the dancers in the Cuiping Tower also came with their sleeves thrown up, Liang Zhen couldn't take his eyes off of her graceful figure .I don't know if it's a coincidence, but when one of the dancers waved his sleeves, he caught up with the high-hanging lanterns and almost fell down.Liang Zhen was about to be a hero to save the beauty, when he stepped forward, he saw a familiar figure passing by at an extremely fast speed.Liang Zhen was puzzled at the moment, so he stepped up to catch up. When the distance got closer, Liang Zhen realized that the woman walking in front was actually Cao Shi, but she looked in a hurry, but she didn't know where she was going.

Liang Zhen followed all the way to a thatched cottage twenty miles away from Jinghua Gate.Liang Zhen saw the oil lamp in the thatched hut suddenly turned on, and only then did he confirm the whereabouts of the Cao family. Due to the importance of this matter, Liang Zhen rushed back to Cuiping Tower without stopping, and informed Wei Jingyuan of the matter.

The ins and outs are detailed, and it is only waiting for Jing Yuan to make a decision.

"Master, do you want to go over and have a look?" Liang Zhen asked for instructions.

Wei Jingyuan pondered for a moment, "The princes are still in the Cuiping Tower, and I can't leave at will, but if things are delayed, I'm afraid there will be a sudden change in the matter, why not..." Wei Jingyuan glanced at the crowd and happened to see some In front of the lantern in the distance stood a little chubby man, dancing and dancing with great enthusiasm.Wei Jingyuan stepped forward and patted Xiaopangdun on the shoulder, "Do you want to buy one?"

Yuan Bao was startled, turned around and said, "Eldest Young Master, why did you come out?"

Wei Jingyuan smiled and said, "How can you know that you like lanterns if you don't come out?"

Yuan Bao blushed, lowered his head and said, "Master, it's not that Yuan Bao likes it, but I want to give one to my mother, but..." Yuan Bao swallowed the last part of his words.

Wei Jingyuan looked at him with a smile, then took out some pieces of silver taels from his pocket, "I don't have any silver taels on me, why don't you dare tell me? Am I the kind of person who will be stingy and harsh?"

Yuan Bao was startled, and hurriedly said: "Eldest Young Master, Yuan Bao has never thought about it this way, Yuan Bao just..."

Wei Jingyuan interrupted him, "Okay, you take these silver taels, and later buy a lantern and bring them back to your mansion for your mother." Wei Jingyuan handed the silver taels to Yuan Bao's hand and murmured: "Yuan Bao, Liang Zhen and I I have something important to do, I will now order you to go to the Cuiping Tower, and tell the crown prince and several princes that I feel unwell, so I will go back first."

Yuan Bao clenched the silver in his hand, nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, young master, Yuan Bao will definitely follow your instructions."

Wei Jingyuan patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, after half an hour, I will meet you under the big locust tree on the only way back to the mansion."

"Yuan Bao knows." After saying that, Yuan Bao hurried into Cuiping Tower.

After Wei Jingyuan watched Yuan Bao enter the Cuiping Tower with his own eyes, he and Liang Zhen rushed to the thatched cottage twenty miles away from the Jinghua Gate.The Jinghua Gate belongs to the west gate of the imperial palace, and it takes two hours to walk from the Cuiping Tower to the two pillars of incense, and Wei Jingyuan is not as fast as Liang Zhen, so it is a bit difficult to walk.

Liang Zhen originally wanted to relieve Wei Jingyuan's worries, if he made a move, it would not be difficult to carry Wei Jingyuan for dozens of miles.It's a pity that Wei Jingyuan pretended to be okay, forcing Liang Zhen to give up this idea.After all, he is the master, and he is a follower. The master intends to maintain his identity, so why should the follower expose it?

The two arrived at the thatched hut twenty miles away from the Jinghua Gate, the oil lamp was still flickering inside, and through the paper boat they could see a slender woman sitting in front of the desk, as if she was busy with something.

"Master, do you want to go in?" Liang Zhen looked in from outside the courtyard.

Wei Jingyuan thought for a moment, "That's fine, I'm just about to meet her." After finishing speaking, Liang Zhen pushed open the bamboo door and entered the courtyard with Wei Jingyuan. cries.Wei Jingyuan and Liang Zhen looked at each other before pushing open the wooden door.

"Who is it?" Sitting in front of the dilapidated desk, Cao looked at the door in panic.

Wei Jingyuan tried to keep his voice as soft as possible, and said, "Mother Cao, don't be afraid, it's Jingyuan who is here."

"Jing Yuan?" Cao Shi seemed to be crying with joy, and tears welled up in his eyes.

After Wei Jingyuan entered the house, he looked around. Although the thatched cottage was a bit dilapidated, it was still a good place to live. In addition to a few clothes, there was an old book table with chess records on it. In the world, the two armies are in a state of competition.It can be seen from this that the person who arranged the Cao family here was not someone with bad intentions.

"Aunt Cao, this place is not in the imperial palace, so you don't need to worry too much." After finishing speaking, Liang Zhen moved the wooden chair from the side, Wei Jingyuan sat down and motioned for Cao to sit down, and said in a soft voice: "Aunt Cao, what about that?" Riwo ordered people to rescue you from the fire in Xuanyi Pavilion, and then hid you in the side hall of Changping Palace, but I didn’t know that you disappeared later, can you explain in detail?”

Mrs. Cao twisted her sleeves, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said in response: "Actually, I don't know who sent me here. When I woke up that day, I didn't know who knocked me out again, and I don't know who sent me here." After a long time, when I was confused, I found that someone put me in a huge wooden box, and after that, I could hear the sound of rolling around my ears."

"What about later?" Wei Jingyuan asked.

Mrs. Cao hurriedly said: "After I woke up, I found myself in this thatched hut, and there were enough clothes and food in the house, and..." Mrs. Cao caressed the chess pieces on the desk: "It seems like it was specially for me. prepare."

Wei Jingyuan glanced down at the chess game, and then turned to Cao Shi: "Did you see anyone else after that?"

Mrs. Cao shook her head: "When I woke up that day, there was a note in front of the desk." Mrs. Cao took out the note from her sleeve and handed it to Wei Jingyuan: "This is the note."

Wei Jingyuan hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully, the handwriting on the note was beautiful and long, both thick and slender, it looked like it was written by a woman.If you look closely, there is more force at the end of each handwriting, which shows that the person who wrote the note is a person who knows how to write and write.

Mrs. Cao stared at Wei Jingyuan, and said softly: "So, according to the note, I dare not step out of this hut, for fear of causing disaster."

Wei Jingyuan was startled, and asked: "Aunt Cao means that since you woke up, you haven't stepped out of the cottage?"

Mrs. Cao didn't know why Wei Jingyuan was so excited, she nodded quickly and said, "I haven't gone half a step before."

"Liang Zhen." Wei Jingyuan turned to look at Liang Zhen, "What did you say just now outside the Cuiping Building?"

Liang Zhen asked suspiciously: "Master, what Liang Zhen saw was indeed Aunt Cao, she looks exactly the same as her figure, so is there another Cao family in this world?"

Cao Shi also panicked at this moment, "I haven't stepped out of this hut, why are you so sure that it's me?"

"This..." Liang Zhen panicked for a moment, logically speaking, he should not be wrong.

Wei Jingyuan pondered this matter carefully, and it was already close to Haishi. According to inference, when Liang Zhen saw Cao, it should be at the moment of Xushi. It's not impossible for someone to deliberately dress exactly like Cao's, but... why did this person lead himself here?What is the purpose?

"Master..." Liang Zhen speculated: "Liang Zhen guessed that someone must have deliberately led you and me here."

Wei Jingyuan remained silent, acquiescing to this idea.

Cao looked left and right, wondering, "What did Yuaner think of?"

Wei Jingyuan shook his head slightly, "It happened so suddenly that I don't allow me to think about it carefully, but it can be concluded that this person is from the palace, and he can move freely in the harem; moreover, this person has sent Aunt Cao out of the palace, You must have brought me here because you wanted to entrust Aunt Cao to me, so you shouldn't harbor evil intentions."

Liang Zhen nodded in response, "Master, what should we do next?"

Wei Jingyuan was silent for a while, "It's late today, Aunt Cao will stay here for another night, after tomorrow, I will find another place for Aunt Cao to settle down." Wei Jingyuan looked at Cao, "Aunt Cao, today is different from the past. , you can no longer show up as the Cao family, you need to change your appearance to survive in the world."

Mrs. Cao had thought of this a long time ago, "What Yuan'er said is that from now on, there will be no more Yueniang of the Cao family in this world, so Yuan'er can just call me Aunt Wu."

"Very good, Aunt Wu can think of this, and it will save a lot of trouble." Wei Jingyuan stared down at Wu's belly, and said gently: "Aunt Wu can rest assured that when you give birth to a child, he can still follow his father's surname." , Mingjingxing."

"Yuan'er, you..." Wu's heart was throbbing, and tears rolled around his eyes again.

Wei Jingyuan comforted: "Jing Yuan sees the friendship between Aunt Wu and my father. What's more, the child in Aunt Wu's womb is also his father's blood, so there is no reason to abandon it." Wei Jingyuan stood up and said sternly: "If he If I can succeed to the title safely, I will definitely bring Jing Xing back to the mansion and recognize my ancestors."

Mrs. Wu hurriedly stood up, nodded and said, "Yuan'er is so kind and virtuous, my aunt will never forget it in this lifetime."

"Auntie, there is no need to be too polite. It's getting late, and I'm going back home. You can't walk around here at will. I'll ask Liang Zhen to pick you up tomorrow and settle down elsewhere."

Wu responded, "Auntie just listened to Yuan'er's arrangement."

"Auntie rested earlier, Yuan'er said goodbye."

Wei Jingyuan and Liang Zhen came out of the thatched hut, and they stopped outside the courtyard for a while, "Liang Zhen, you stay here today to protect the Wu family well, and tomorrow I will send Yuan Bao over to deliver a message."

Liang Zhen nodded, "Master, have you really thought about bringing the child in her womb back to the mansion to recognize her ancestors?"

Wei Jingyuan smiled, "Speaking and doing are two different things, don't take it seriously."

Liang Zhen couldn't help sighing secretly, the master he was following, although young, was really good at handling things, which made him feel ashamed.

"I'm going back to the mansion first, so please keep an eye on this place, don't make any mistakes." Wei Jingyuan urged again.

Liang Zhen raised his hand, "Liang Zhen obeys."

Without Liang Zhen's company, Wei Jingyuan had to walk alone along the dark path towards Jinghua Gate.It was Haishi at this moment, the sky was getting darker and darker, a few shimmering stars were scattered in the mid-air, the crescent crescent had been half covered by the night clouds, and only the faint light shone on the dark and stretching path.

Wei Jingyuan walked away for a short while, and suddenly a black figure sprang out from behind, and quickly covered Wei Jingyuan's mouth and nose, making him unable to make a sound.
