At this moment.

A sharp-eyed maid saw that the purse on Cao Lanyun's slim waist was empty and immediately spoke.

"What a thief! He dares to steal the lady's purse. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"

at the same time.

Another stocky maid also reacted and couldn't help but curse.

You know, now that the Cao family's eldest son is serving in the Ministry of Punishment, if the thief dares to steal the young lady's property, isn't he going to shoot at the muzzle of the gun?

At that time, Cao Lanyun touched her waist and found it was empty.

Knowing that the silver coins were stolen by a thief, she couldn't help but frown, her face slightly cold.

Without her instructions, the two maids beside her rushed out long ago. The sharp-eyed one among them spotted the thief who was escaping in a hurry and cursed:

"You audacious thief, why don't you quickly put down my lady's purse!"

"In this clear world, someone is actually robbing property at the emperor's feet. Is there any way for the emperor to do so?"

"Everyone, please help and catch the thief!"

"This thief stole the lady's purse!"

"..."

The shouts and curses of the two women quickly attracted the attention of everyone on the road.

There were many enthusiastic people who took action against the thief in an attempt to stop him.

However, this thief seems to have some boxing skills.

All of them were cleverly avoided.

Seeing that there were more people surrounding him, the thief took out a short blade from his arms and waved it around, thus scaring away some people.

But there are so many people here that the thief can't run fast no matter how skilled he is.

Suddenly, as the thief was running, someone unexpectedly appeared in front of him.

He instinctively stabbed him with a short blade, but the man turned his wrist down, raised it in the air, and used a crane-controlling move to grab his hand. He grabbed his hand hard, and a huge As the force came, a clicking sound was heard.

The thief screamed in pain and immediately begged for mercy:

"It's broken...it's broken. I hope the brave man will spare my life!"

The strong man ignored him and lifted his crotch with his foot. The thief was unprepared and fell down. The purse in his arms was also exposed.

Not long after.

Suddenly a group of guards came around and hurried over. Seeing that the strong man was safe and sound, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, a broad-armed and powerful captain of the guard suddenly pulled out a long knife and put it on the thief's neck:

"How brave, dare to confront Your Majesty..."

Before the man finished speaking, a cold gaze fell on him.

He then changed his tune and said viciously: "If you dare to be rude to my young master, I will raid your entire family!"

"No need to intimidate, just let the officials handle it strictly!" The strong man said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard dragged him down.

Only then did the thief see the face of the strong man who took action. He was wearing a luxurious robe and a golden crown. He was plump in front of the court, handsome and dignified, and full of noble aura.

After just one glance, the thief was horrified and did not dare to look again.

With his extraordinary popularity and noble appearance, he must be one of the princes and princes of the court.

"This time I really hit the wall!"

The thief smiled bitterly in his heart and regretted it endlessly.

After he was dragged down, the man in rich clothes leaned down and picked up the small and green purse.

By coincidence, as soon as he straightened up, he saw Cao Lanyun walking towards him.

"you……?"

Seeing this person, Cao Lanyun's pretty face was startled.

She couldn't help but blush slightly when she saw that the other party was handsome and well-dressed, holding her purse in her hand, looking at her without looking away for a while.

He lowered his head, but didn't know how to ask for her purse?

On the other hand, the maid in front of me said quickly:

"Thank you so much, young master, for taking care of the thief and getting the lady's purse back."

The words fell.

Only then did the man come back to his senses and felt rude. He quickly looked away from Cao Lanyun and said apologetically:

"I was rude, girl, please forgive me!"

After saying that, he handed the purse to the maid.

The maid took it and returned the purse to Cao Lanyun.

Hearing this, Cao Lanyun shook her head and said:

"Young Master, you don't have to be polite. You got my purse back for me. It's my fault to thank you."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

The man nodded and warned:

"Girl, although there are many people during the Lantern Festival, it is inevitable that thieves will sneak into the place. It's better for you to be more vigilant."

"Thank you for reminding me, sir." Cao Lanyun responded and went back with the two maids.

Watching her leave, this person did not look away for a long time. The man with a gentle and elegant face on the side saw this and chuckled softly and said:

"Brother, are you attracted to her?"

It turned out that this person was none other than Zhao Zhen, the current Emperor Renzong of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen showed a look of sadness and said:

"Eighth virtuous brother, haven't you noticed that this girl is very similar to Concubine Ping?"

"They are 70-80% similar."

The eight virtuous brothers were thoughtful, and then stopped for a moment:

"It seems that Brother Huang has forgotten his old relationship..."

Zhao Zhen let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "My wife has been with me for many years, and we have gone through many hardships together. When I was not the prince, she suffered a lot with me, but God's will makes me happy. Remove the jade damage and leave me."

"Who can understand this pain?"

"This time, during the Lantern Festival, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a misfortune to meet this girl?"

"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try. Brother Eighth, it's up to you to find out the identity of this woman."

"In addition, this lantern festival is crowded. Send someone to report to Kaifeng Prefecture Yin to strengthen patrols."

The eighth wise brother took the order and said:

"Yes, Brother Huang!"

……

……

At Hai hour, there were gradually fewer pedestrians on the street. Cao Lanyun walked around, saw a lot of rare things, and even put on lanterns.

Thinking about Mrs. Cao's reply before leaving, she and her two maids returned home.

Not to mention that after Cao Lanyun got home, she dressed and washed, but her two maids were called over by Mrs. Cao for questioning.

"You mean Yun'er's purse was stolen and the thief was subdued by a young master?"

Mrs. Cao looked at the smart maid in front of her and asked.

"good."

The maid nodded and said.

"What does the young master look like, who is his surname, and what is his family background?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao became interested and asked.

It was said that Mrs. Cao had gone to Guanli a long time ago and asked the old Taoist priest about Cao Lanyun's marriage.

The old Taoist man talked about marriage on this Lantern Festival.

Therefore, after Cao Lanyun comes back tonight, she can't wait to ask her two maids.

Knowing that Cao Lanyun really met a young master today, Mrs. Cao naturally wanted to know the situation.

"Replying to the old lady, the young lady didn't ask about that person, and we don't know the young master's surname either?" the maid answered truthfully.

But the conversation changed and he said:

"but……"

"But what?" Mrs. Cao asked.

The maid thought for a while and said, "But judging from his appearance and clothes, he should come from a distinguished family."

"After looking at our lady for a long time, I guess I have taken a liking to..."

"Oh, is this happening?" Mrs. Cao was filled with joy and a little surprised when she heard this.

"It should be true..."

The two maids looked at each other and said.

Mrs. Cao nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, I understand."

"You two go to the accounting office and each get half of the money. Then go back and ask more about that person's origins. If Yun'er and that young master really get married, there will be a reward."

"Thank you, old lady!"

When the two women heard this, they immediately became elated.

He thanked her hurriedly and exited the room.

…    …

Another compartment.

After Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, when he thought of Cao Lanyun he met tonight, he would inevitably think of his past with Bein'er.

The more he thought about it, the more restless he felt and found it difficult to sleep.

In the end, it was so unbearable that I simply put on my cotton-padded jacket and went out to get some fresh air.

Unknowingly, he came to the Royal Garden.

As soon as he arrived, Zhao Zhen smelled the fragrance.

"Ok?"

Zhao Zhen's nose moved slightly and he let out a light sigh.

Looking along the fragrance, he was stunned for a moment.

"This……"

"How could this happen?!"

It turned out that in the corner of the imperial garden, on a huge peach tree, dots of pink peach blossoms were blooming brilliantly.

This peach blossom was planted by me in the past.

It has not been opened for many years since her death.

Even if he hired many master gardeners to plant them, it still wouldn't help.

Unexpectedly, it bloomed quietly today?

Especially now that it has just passed in the middle of winter. At this time, the peach blossoms smiling in the spring breeze are completely magical in Zhao Zhen's opinion.

"Is that woman really the reincarnation of Bein'er?"

"Maybe Beinger also supports me..."

For a moment, Zhao Zhen was filled with emotion. He came under the peach tree and murmured.

Throughout the night, Zhao Zhen stayed under the peach tree. When the guards found him at dawn, they were all frightened.

Are you afraid that the emperor will be infected with the cold on such an uncertain day?

Fortunately, the night passed and the emperor was fine.

Strangely enough, he didn't feel cold when he stood under the peach tree. On the contrary, he felt warm in the warm breeze.

Even after not sleeping all night, he didn't feel tired.

After returning to the morning court, Zhao Zhen asked the Eighth Sage King to stay as soon as the meeting was over.

"Eighth virtuous brother, have you ever found out the origin of that woman?"

Zhao Zhen asked eagerly.

The Eight Wise Kings smiled helplessly:

"Brother Imperial, it has only been one night, and there will be no news until tomorrow at the earliest."

Not long after, the Eight Wise Kings spoke curiously: "Brother, why do you want to know the whereabouts of that woman so much?"

"I don't know something about the eight virtuous brothers. Just last night, the peach tree planted by Bein'er bloomed." Zhao Zhen shared with him with a little excitement.

"Will this happen?"

The Eight Wise Kings' eyes widened in disbelief.

"You will find out when you follow me to the Royal Garden."

Zhao Zhen smiled and pulled the Eight Wise Kings out of the hall.

The Eight Wise Kings followed Zhao Zhen to the Imperial Garden and saw that the peach blossoms planted by Beier were blooming in the wind, sending out wisps of refreshing fragrance.

The Eight Wise Kings couldn’t help but sigh:

"It's really surprising that there are such strange things in the world..."

"So, maybe that girl is really the reincarnation of the betrothed concubine?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I think so too."

While talking about this strange and interesting conversation, Zhao Zhen suddenly asked again:

"By the way, have you ever heard of the former Imperial Master Dongxuan Guangji and the Heavenly Master Han Xiangzi?"

The Eight Wise Kings replied:

"I have heard of it. It is said that this person is the grand-nephew of Duke Changli."

"They are the likes of the immortal family in the sky, their methods are mysterious, and they have unpredictable power."

"Many years ago, the world was in chaos, but Haixi Province was the only one to be at peace. It was because of his help."

Zhao Zhenruo realized something and said:

"Since there are immortals in the world, when it comes to reincarnation, I'm afraid it can't be false."

After finishing his words, the Eight Wise Kings responded respectfully:

"My brother understands that once the girl's whereabouts are found out, His Majesty will be informed as soon as possible."

……

……

One day later.

The Eight Wise Kings exhausted all their means, dispatched all their men, and eliminated them one by one, and finally found out Cao Lanyun's identity.

"Brother Imperial, I already know the origin of that woman."

This day.

In the royal study, the Eight Wise Kings hurried in and said.

"Say it quickly!" Zhao Zhen put down the book in his hand and said.

The Eight Sages King said: "This person's name is Cao Lanyun. She is well-educated and wise, and she is the sister of Cao Jingxiu, a member of the Ministry of Punishment of the imperial court!"

"Is she the girl from the criminal department's foreign minister?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

The Eight Wise Kings thought:

"Brother Imperial, my brother has heard about this Cao Jingxiu. He was a Jinshi, in the first year of Tiansheng, and ranked fifth in the second class."

Having said this, he saw that His Majesty's face remained as usual and continued:

"He is an upright man and has a clean official reputation. He was repeatedly ostracized just because he did not flatter his superiors."

"A few days ago, he was good at making opinions and even wrote a memorial asking for a retrial of the Wanguan Bank case. However, this memorial was not submitted."

Now that the Eight Wise Kings have found out that the woman is Cao Lanyun, she is Cao Jingxiu's sister.

Naturally, I went through the details of the Cao family.

Even the Eight Sages knew that the Cao family had lost a son.

"Looking at it this way, Cao Jingxiu is a pillar of talent." Zhao Zhen commented.

He has always had great trust in the Eight Wise Kings.

"Eighth virtuous brother, what do you think should be done regarding Cao Lanyun and me?"

Not long after, Zhao Zhen asked again.

The Eight Sages Wang Lang laughed and said:

"Brother Imperial is the master of the world. Whichever woman you like, you can declare her to the palace."

"My younger brother has already inquired about it. Cao Lanyun is still waiting to be married."

Zhao Zhen thought about it and felt that there was no need to bother, so he said directly:

"There is no need for this, and I will send someone to recruit the Cao family. I will make her a noble concubine!"

"That's great! I'll tell the Ministry of Rites to handle it now. I wish my brother the best in advance to find a good man!"

The Eight Wise Kings raised their hands in congratulations.

"Hahaha, then the eight virtuous brothers should have an extra glass of wedding wine!" Zhao Zhen joked.

……

……

Another day passed.

On this day, the Minister of Rites counted the invitations one by one, and after not missing anything, he sat in a sedan and went straight to the Cao Mansion.

This time when he went to Cao Mansion to recruit someone, he represented the Tian Family and was extremely high-profile.

He was followed by more than 300 people, all dressed in festive clothes, driving and pushing wheels.

There are many gifts on the employment order.

There is no need to mention gold and silver, jade, agate, satin and spices, everything is lacking...

There were even musicians who played and sang all the way to the door of Cao's mansion.

It was said that Mrs. Cao was at home, and she was worried that the two maids were slow to inquire about the news. Suddenly she heard the lively commotion outside the door, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.

I wonder which house is hosting the wedding?

Why is it so grand?

Unexpectedly.

At this moment, the servant guarding the door suddenly ran over in a hurry, panting and saying:

"Old...old lady, someone is coming from the palace!"
