Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

"Yuanying, please be at ease."

Wei Wuji tore open the lining of his shirt, took out a silk handkerchief, and presented it respectfully with both hands.

At this time, the house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Ouyang Wenche closed his eyes, his heart sinking.

Then I saw a few lines of words written in very small regular script on the plain silk:

My son, I miss you very much after ten years of separation. I have sent Old Wei to accompany you. Wei is my teacher and friend, so you can trust him. I hope you will be careful.

There is no seal, no signature, no heading, and no signature on the plain silk.

Wei Wuji only attached a jade plate when he presented it. Ouyang Wenche recognized the pattern on the jade plate. It was the same pattern on the inside of Chu Yi's sleeve.

I still remember that after I drew the pattern according to my memory, Yun Wu saw it and burned it to ashes without hesitation. It turned out that this was really the emblem of the Eastern Palace.

This is true, it turns out that I am really a descendant of the Eastern Palace!

Chuyi, the servant who grew up with him, knew.

The guards around him who never show up know it.

Yun Yi and Yun Er, who died in order to save him, his housekeeper, and his nanny, all knew about it.

Maybe my grandfather and father knew it too.

Only you don't know.

He also dreams of becoming the outstanding eldest grandson of the Ouyang family. Perhaps the traitor in the Ouyang family who betrayed him also knows it.

It seems that there is no way to escape this royal identity! Ouyang Wenche smiled bitterly in his heart, and a calm voice came out:

"who am I?"

This is also the question that Li Yuanying, who has been confused, has:

"Who is he?"

Li Yuanying was even a little exasperated, and raised her voice slightly. Wei Wuji slowly told the secret of the Eastern Palace...

It turned out that when the late queen passed away, Emperor Qianyuan Xiao Heng specially appointed his 5-year-old son Xiao Qi as the crown prince. Later, when he was 14 years old, he married him to the left prime minister's daughter. Two years after the marriage, the East Palace welcomed the young master Xiao Yu, who was the first legitimate grandson of Emperor Qianyuan.

To celebrate the succession of the Eastern Palace, a general amnesty was declared and the whole world celebrated.

However, in fact, the Crown Princess gave birth to twins at that time.

In order to avoid disputes over imperial power, the royal family never allowed twins to be born, and would only keep one fetus alive. Ouyang Wenche was the one who was born later.

At that time, Ouyang Wenche did not cry when he was born. The midwives all thought that the child was weak and could not survive.

According to the rules, the imperial physician Zheng Minshi, who attended to the patient on the spot throughout the whole process, also came to the conclusion: the patient was born weak and it was difficult for him to survive.

In addition, the royal family had already made a restriction, and finally, the midwife, the imperial physician, and the eunuchs all agreed to keep the first son who would be born strong and healthy, and to give birth to the second son who would not cry.

Doctor Zheng decided to get rid of Ouyang Wenche as usual. Crown Prince Xiao Qi knelt down and begged, and the doctor could not refuse. Finally, he had no choice but to plan with Wei Wuji to summon the Eastern Palace Master Ouyang Hongming into the palace.

Finally, a plan was devised and Ouyang Wenche was hidden out of the palace and raised in the Ouyang family as Ouyang Xi's legitimate son.

Inside the small coffin was a baby that Zheng, the imperial physician, had found not long after his death. Afterwards, the coffin was buried in a corner of the Xiao Qi Mausoleum that was under construction with royal etiquette, enjoying royal honor forever.

The young master of the Eastern Palace who should have died but did not, became the legitimate grandson of the Ouyang family. …

Wei Wuji's statement had time, witnesses, and sources, but Li Yuanying still found it unbelievable.

The Li family is also considered a new noble family. If the prince is in trouble, why doesn't he contact the Li family? The Li family will definitely help him with all their strength.

The person in the east wing who had the same idea as him and did not want to acknowledge the identity of the Young Master of the East Palace was actually the Young Master of the East Palace himself, Ouyang Wenche.

Neither the plain silk nor the jade pendant could make Ouyang Wenche give up. Ouyang Wenche asked coldly,

"How do you know it's me and not someone else?"

Wei Wuji looked at Li Yuanying:

"Yuanying, has the Crown Prince summoned you during this trip?"

"Yes, I was summoned."

"Does the prince have anything to ask of you?"

Li Yuanying pondered for a moment and took out a tiny wooden box from his sleeve.

"The prince said that Mr. Wei might be able to use this."

Wei Wuji took the small wooden box that was less than the width of his palm, walked to Ouyang Wenche's desk, and began to use a special mortise and tenon unlocking method to open the box. Inside were several pages of yellowed paper.

Wei Wuji took out the prints and placed them one by one in front of Ouyang Wenche. There were children's footprints, palm prints, fingerprints, and even a small portrait of two people. The small portrait showed two newborn babies. Their faces were not very clear, but the two children looked very similar.

Only one child had his eyes slightly open, while the other had both eyes closed. That was the only difference.

"Young Master, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Young Master, please."

Ouyang Wenche raised his right hand at Wei Wuji's signal. Wei Wuji grabbed Ouyang Wenche's thumb and pressed it on the inkstone. Then he used rice paper to absorb the excess ink and pressed Ouyang Wenche's thumb on a piece of paper with fingerprints on it. After a while, Wei Wuji lifted Ouyang Wenche's hand.

"Yuanying, come and see too."

Li Yuanying walked to the table and the three of them saw clearly that there were two thumb prints, one big and one small, and the patterns on the fingertips were exactly the same.

Ouyang Wenche and Li Yuanying exclaimed almost at the same time,

"How can this be?"

Then both of them looked up at Wei Wuji, and Li Yuanying grabbed Wei Wuji's arm.

"gentlemen."

Wei Wuji seemed to have anticipated this question. He calmed himself down, lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, raised his head, smiled slightly with confidence in his eyes, and slowly said:

"Yuan Ying, have you ever read "Zhou Li. Kao Gong Ji"?

Then he looked at Ouyang Wenche and asked:

"Young Master, have you read the Book of Zhou?"

Ouyang Wenche nodded.

"Sir, are you saying that 'fingerprints' are unique? But most of us combine 'fingerprints' with 'palmprints' to judge people's personality and physical characteristics!"

"Young Master is right. But the most important thing is that the 'fingerprints' are unique, almost one-of-a-kind.

. Young Master, please take a look. "

Wei Wuji took out a thin booklet from his sleeve pocket, turned to a page filled with words, and showed it to Ouyang Wenche. There were five fingerprints printed among the words.

"Young Master, these are the fingerprints of your elder brother Xiao Yu. These are the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and little finger. ..."

Wei Wuji matched the fingerprints on the paper one by one and showed them to Ouyang Wenche.

After comparing the "fingerprints", Ouyang Wenche has basically confirmed that he is indeed a descendant of the Eastern Palace, but he is still struggling.

"How can you be sure it's me and not someone else?"

Wei Wuji smiled without saying anything, and only glanced at Li Yuanying. When Li Yuanying was asked about the records in the Zhou Li, she was already convinced that what Wei Wuji said was true. Now Wei Wuji looked at him, he understood the meaning, and spoke.

"I am Xiao Yu's uncle. I can confirm from your appearance that you are almost identical to Xiao Yu, except that your movements and tone of voice are very different when you speak."

After taking a look at Ouyang Wenche, he asked again,

"Can you stand up so I can take a look?"

Ouyang Wenche stood up and walked to the table, standing between the two of them.
