The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 79 Promise

In less than two-quarters of an hour, Lu Ziqin put down the last stroke, took a step back with the pen, looked up and down, then put down the pen, walked to the bedside with the portrait in both hands, and presented the portrait to Ye Shangshu.

 Ye Shangshu sat up straight, raised his hand to hold the lower end of the rice paper, and looked at it carefully.

 Lv Ziqin used a little force to make the rice paper flat so that his grandfather could see it better.

Ye Shangshu’s eyes fell on the portrait, and Lu Ziqin’s eyes fell on Ye Shangshu’s face.

Ye Shangshu stared at it for a while, then let go of his hand, leaned back on the bed and said, "Burn it."

Lu Ziqin nodded, lifted the kettle on the small red clay stove, lit the portrait and threw it into the spit basin next to the bed. He waited until the portrait turned to ashes before standing up.

 Lv Ziqin sat down again, looked up at Ye Shangshu, and shouted: "Grandpa!"

Ye Shangshu turned to look at Lu Ziqin, then looked away, and said quietly: "Although this person has a scar on his face, his facial features and charm are very similar to Wei Nuo. It should be her."

"Wei Nuo? Wei Ruo?" Lu Ziqin asked curiously: "Wei Nuo is the real name, right? Who is Wei Nuo?"

 Ye Shangshu said: "The female official next to the late queen."

 “The female official next to my aunt?” Lu Ziqin straightened up in shock.

Ye Shangshu nodded and said slowly: "Wei Nuo's surname is Mei, his name is Mei Wei Nuo, and he and Mei Xin Nuo are twins.

 When Yi'er was ten years old, Wei Nuo and Xin Nuo stayed with Yi'er. Later, Yi'er married the King of Qin..."

Ye Shangshu looked at Lu Ziqin and explained: "Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was the king of Qin."

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "Yes, my grandson knows."

Ye Shangshu continued: "Yi'er married into the Prince of Qin's palace, and Xinnuo and Weinuo followed him as dowry.

The year after Yi'er married into the Prince of Qin's palace, after the death of the late emperor, the King of Qin ascended the throne and took the title of Changping.

 The following year, Yi'er was named queen. It was also this year that the Queen Mother and Prince Rui cooperated internally and externally to launch a palace coup.

At that time, the queen was more than seven months pregnant. She was frightened and gave birth prematurely.

When facing danger, the queen entrusted the newborn prince to Xin Nuo and Wei Nuo, and asked them to take the prince out of the palace and protect him.

Later, the emperor calmed down the chaos in the palace and sent Hua Ling, the leader of the Long Shadow Guard, to find the whereabouts of Weinuo and Xinnuo.

When Hua Ling found Xin Nuo, Xin Nuo was still breathing. I learned from Xin Nuo that she was responsible for diverting the pursuers, so that she could take the prince away.

 Over the years, the emperor has been searching for the whereabouts of Weinuo and the prince. "

Lu Ziqin was shocked when he heard this and said: "However, people who have seen this man said that he was walking alone and there was no one else around him."

Ye Shangshu sighed, "I'm afraid the prince is no longer alive. Otherwise, Wei Nuo would have sent the prince back to the palace long ago. I'm tired and want to take a rest. Please step aside."

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "Okay. My grandson will wait for his grandfather to rest."

Lu Ziqin stood up and helped Ye Shangshu lie down, tucked the quilt in, and then left the room.

Lu Ziqin sat on the soft couch under the window, thinking about another possibility. He was wandering around with no fixed abode. Was he also looking for the prince's cousin?

Lu Ziqin thought for a while, but couldn't think of a result, so he got up and walked out of the house.

“Ziqin, has your grandfather rested?” Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Ye were sitting on the corridor enjoying the shade. When they saw Lu Ziqin coming out, they asked.

Lu Ziqin leaned towards Mrs. Qin and said, "Go back to grandma, grandpa has rested."

Mrs. Qin stood up and said, "Your grandfather has been talking to you for a long time, so he will sleep for a long time. Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

Lu Ziqin stepped forward to help Mrs. Qin and reminded: "Grandma, please slow down."

Mrs. Qin put her hand on her waist and gently beat it twice, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm getting old."
