The Rebirth of an Orphan

After Zhao Xihua returned to East Garden, Pingshui and Chunfeng came to greet her, helped Zhao Xihua take a bath and change clothes, and brought her the hot soup they had prepared earlier.

Zhao Xihua and Ling Ziye sat by the lake for a long time. They felt so cold that they were shivering. After drinking some hot soup, they felt much better. She looked at Pingshui and said:

"Pingshui, ask Aqiang to go to this address and help me find Hengbo in Tianmenying. I need him to help me with something."

Pingshui responded quickly and walked out. Hengbo was Gu Lun's right-hand man in Tianmen Camp, and had been arranged by Gu Lun to help Zhao Xihua.

Then he said to Chunfeng, "Chunfeng, please arrange for the servants in Dongyuan to pack my luggage. We will move to the villa in the suburbs today."

Because of the possible migration to the south, many valuable items and necessary things have been sorted and packed. Now it’s just a matter of taking them out, packing them and organizing them.

Soon everyone in Dongyuan had packed their belongings, and then Zhao Xihua took a few trusted people out of the west gate of the Gu family and left without saying goodbye to anyone.

The whole Gu family was in an uproar. How could the young mistress leave so hastily and quietly? However, according to the news from the servants who stayed in the East Garden, the young mistress went to the suburbs to rest for a few days because she missed the young master so much that she became sick.

Everyone felt relieved when they heard that the young lady had only moved to the suburbs and not moved south. They had thought that Gu Lun had lost the battle and were afraid that the young lady had received the news first and moved south.

Zhao Xihua arrived at the mountain villa that Gu Lun had arranged for her in the suburbs of Beijing before dark. Although it was not as luxurious as the Gu family's, it was decorated in a very elegant and quiet manner. The whole yard was full of spring plum blossoms. As soon as she entered the yard, she was greeted by the fragrance of plum blossoms, which was refreshing and all the depression in her heart was instantly swept away.

After Zhao Xihua settled down comfortably, Pingshui took people to pack up the things they brought, while Zhao Xihua stayed in the study waiting for someone.

Soon Aqiang came with someone: "Miss, Hengbo is here."

Zhao Xihua looked at an old man next to Aqiang. Although his temples were gray, he was in good spirits, and there was a hint of efficiency between his eyebrows.

"Master, I am here, but I will obey your orders."

"Hengbo, please sit down and talk." Zhao Xihua asked Hengbo to sit on the chair, and then personally poured hot tea for Hengbo, and then said: "Hengbo, I invited you here this time because I have an important matter for you to handle... It's a matter in the Presidential Palace."

Heng Bo was stunned. Although Tianmen Camp had its own spies there, some things in that place were difficult to investigate after all. He didn't know what the young lady wanted to investigate.

Zhao Xihua wrote the three words "Little Madam" on the table with some tea, then looked at Heng Bo and said, "This matter is useful to Gu Lun. His sister, the current Little Madam, may make a move tonight. Send someone to check. If you see people in the Little Madam's palace disposing of or burying something, find a way to get the person or object to me. This may happen tomorrow or in the next few days, but it is most likely tonight. Sorry for the trouble. I'll wait for your news here."

Although Heng Bo felt that this matter was a bit strange, since the camp owner's wife had spoken, what she said was the final word, and they just had to do what the owner asked.

After Zhao Xihua had arranged everything, she lay down to sleep. She had a nightmare that night. This time, she didn't dream about the tragic experiences in her previous life, but Gu Lun's bloody face swaying in front of her, which made her heart almost jump out of fear.

She felt dizzy and had no vision when she woke up the next morning. It seemed that she had really caught a cold. Fortunately, it was just a cold caused by the wind. There were medicinal herbs available in the villa, so she wrote a prescription for herself. Chunfeng boiled the medicine several times and gave it to her to drink, which relieved her symptoms a lot.

She fell asleep again and slept for a whole day. After waking up, she felt much more relaxed. She felt a little stuffy in the room, so she opened the window. Unexpectedly, a pigeon flew in from outside and landed on Zhao Xihua's desk, which scared Zhao Xihua.

She suddenly remembered that Gu Lun had mentioned to her about the pigeons that were trained in Tianmen Camp specifically for delivering messages. She hurriedly and carefully picked up the pigeon. Sure enough, she found a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg. She opened the bamboo tube and took out a piece of paper from it. When she opened it, there was a line of words written in the familiar handwriting of Zhao Xihua - Don't worry, be well!

Zhao Xihua's vision blurred. Her heart seemed to be on fire. She felt so burning and uncomfortable that she couldn't express it in words. She didn't say anything but an unconcealable smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Good, that’s great, he is still holding on and can still report safety!

Zhao Xihua carefully put away the note, and asked Chunfeng to bring some food to the pigeon. After feeding it, he released it.

"Miss, won't you write back?" Chunfeng asked.

Zhao Xihua smiled but did not answer. When she released the pigeon, she had already tied a red silk thread to its leg. The red thread represented love. Gu Lun should understand when he saw it. There was no point in saying more. Moreover, if it was accidentally kidnapped by someone along the way, it might cause trouble for Gu Lun.

There is no point in saying more, he will understand it after just reading it.

At this time, Aqiang's voice was heard from outside: "Miss, Hengbo is here with something."

A smile appeared on Zhao Xihua's lips. She had really guessed it right. Gu Yayu was indeed a person who had not made any progress. Even after becoming a concubine, she was still so impatient.

"Please come in." Zhao Xihua closed the window and sat back at the desk.

Heng Bo strode in, stood in front of Zhao Xihua and handed the package in his hand to Zhao Xihua. There were some blood stains on the package. When he opened the package, he found a Taoist dustpan and a bloodstained Taoist robe inside.

Heng Bo still had a look of shock on his face. He didn't expect that the young lady asked him to investigate a romantic case in the palace, and that the young lady had the foresight to know that the young lady would take action last night.

Heng Bo considered his words and said, "We followed the master's instructions and waited outside the young lady's palace. Sure enough, we found a body being carried out from inside. Two young eunuchs were about to bury the body under the banana tree in the garden when they were captured by people from our Tianmen Camp. One of them ran away in fear, and the other was captured by us."

Heng Bo slowed down his tone and continued, "Now the Taoist's body and the young eunuch have been brought out by our people. That person couldn't stand the interrogation methods of our Tianmen Camp and confessed everything, saying that the young lady was pregnant with... the prince's son was the dead Taoist's. The Taoist pretended to be crazy in front of the president and used some magic to help the young lady deceive the president."

In the end, Heng Bo was still too embarrassed to tell Zhao Xihua every detail. A sneer appeared on Zhao Xihua's lips. This Gu Yayu was really crazy.
