Thinking of this, Wei Lingfeng bowed respectfully to her and replied:
"Wei will notify the child's father as soon as possible. Madam Fan, please take good care of the child for the next two days. The child's father will definitely thank you for your protection today.
In addition, Wei has an unwelcome request. Tonight, Wei will stay at the Liang Mansion to protect the child. I hope Madam and Mr. Liang will inform you of this."
Liang Luochu nodded. She could agree to this request, but if she wanted to take the child away, she had to meet his relatives before they would agree.
Liang Luochu could not have imagined that her defense of Ye Jinyun's son today would bring about earth-shaking changes in the future fate of her entire family.
After Wei Lingfeng confirmed that the child Liang Luochu rescued was the eldest prince, he immediately sent someone to notify the emperor.
Another team was sent to continue chasing towards the border. Since the child was rescued outside Dongchang County today, they must not have gone too far, and maybe they could be intercepted.
Mo Qiyuan, Lin Qingtang and others had originally planned to go directly to the next town, but on the way they met someone sent by Wei Lingfeng to report that the child had been found, so they changed direction and rushed to Dongchang County without stopping.
…
at this time
Ye Jinyun, who was in the carriage, didn't know that her son had been found by Wei Lingfeng so quickly. She was still holding the swaddling clothes with only a pillow inside and pretending to feed him.
Bai Ruoli sat aside with her eyes closed, and seeing that Ye Jinyun's son hadn't cried for such a long time, she couldn't help but say:
"Your son has been quite quiet today. He hasn't cried at all."
When Ye Jinyun heard her ask this, his heart skipped a beat and he pretended to be calm and said "hmm".
"The sound of the breastfeeding is also very quiet today, unlike the previous days when it sounded like a starving wolf cub." Bai Ruoli continued.
Ye Jinyun said "hmm" again.
But after she said "hmm", Bai Ruoli felt something was wrong.
Why was there no sound at all? She was a martial artist with excellent hearing, and Ye Jinyun was so close to her, she shouldn't be completely unable to hear any sound.
She immediately opened her eyes, then quickly lifted the swaddling blanket that Ye Jinyun was holding, and saw a pillow inside.
His eyes widened immediately. "How could this happen? Where's the child? Where did you take him?"
Bai Ruoli was annoyed and said something was wrong. Why didn't the child cry for several hours? It turned out that the child was switched. Ye Jinyun was really capable. She underestimated her.
Ye Jinyun looked at her, chuckled and didn't answer.
She doesn't even know where her son is now, so how can she deserve to know.
Seeing her like this, Bai Ruoli knew that she had made up her mind not to tell anyone, so she pinched her chin and said:
"It doesn't matter. Even without your son, it's the same as offering you to the king. I don't believe Mo Qiyuan would be willing to give you up.
Caiyu, tie her hands and feet for me. Just keep her alive until we reach the capital. Don't give her anything to eat or drink, or she won't have the energy to run away."
"Yes, Master."
After giving instructions about Caiyu, Bai Ruoli went out and told Xiong Da and Xiong Er to speed up their way to the border and bring the person back to Beirong before Mo Qiyuan.
Xiong Da and Xiong Er also heard the conversation in the carriage and knew that Ye Jinyun's son was missing, so they whipped the horse's butt even harder to make the carriage move faster.
…
The next morning, just after dawn, Mo Qiyuan and Lin Qingtang brought their men to Dongchang County.
Wei Lingfeng had already sent people to meet them at the city gate, so when he saw the emperor and his entourage, he immediately took them to the Liang Mansion.
Outside the Liang Mansion, the soldiers guarding the area saw Mo Qiyuan coming and immediately knelt on the ground: "Master."
"Well, where is Wei Lingfeng?"
Mo Qiyuan had just finished speaking when Wei Lingfeng came out. He looked at the emperor, whose face was frosted, and bowed respectfully, saying:
"Master, the young master is here, but the lady who rescued him wants to personally confirm whether you are his relative before allowing us to take him away."
Mo Qiyuan nodded, that's indeed what should be done.
This woman was a person with her own ideas and she did not hand over the child just because of Wei Lingfeng's words.
So he took Lin Qingtang and followed Wei Lingfeng into the Liang Mansion.
In the courtyard of the Liang Mansion, the housekeeper had already gone in to inform his master that a distinguished guest had arrived. So as soon as Mo Qiyuan stepped into the gate of the Liang Mansion, a large group of people came up to greet him and knelt down to pay their respects.
Just now, when the butler went to report, he said that he saw even Lord Wei saluted this person, so his identity must be extraordinary. They were just ordinary people, and when they saw someone of such a noble status, they had to kneel down and salute.
Qin Mu also stayed at Liang Mansion last night. Wei Lingfeng was staying there, and as the magistrate of Dongchang County, it was impossible for him to ignore him, so he was among the people who came to greet him.
However, he did not kneel down directly like the others in the Liang family. Instead, he bowed deeply and said:
"Your humble servant, Qin Mu, the Magistrate of Dongchang County, greets you."
As a county magistrate of a small border town, he had no qualifications to meet the emperor. So even after seeing Mo Qiyuan and knowing that he was of extraordinary status, he could only address him as "Your Excellency".
Mo Qiyuan glanced at everyone in the courtyard, frowned, and said calmly: "Everyone, get up."
Since seeing Mo Qiyuan, Liang's father felt an invisible pressure, so after Mo Qiyuan asked them to stand up, he hurriedly sent someone to the backyard to inform Liang Luochu.
Liang Luochu had just gotten up and was still washing up when he heard that the child's relatives had arrived. So after packing up, he carried the child to the hall.
