A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Xie Heng, acting coquettishly, snuggled into Song Qingning's arms, tilting his little face up and looking at her with expectant eyes.

Xie Heng, despite his young age, already knows how to manipulate people's hearts.

Seeing that Song Qingning didn't budge and seemed about to frown, showing signs of refusal, she immediately pouted and squeezed out a few tears.

"Mother..."

Tears streamed down her young face, making her look incredibly pitiful, which successfully stopped Song Qingning from uttering her refusal.

"Take guards with you, do not wander around, and do not reveal your identity or cause trouble for the people," Song Qingning instructed.

Xie Heng immediately wiped away his tears, nodded happily, and promised again and again that he would be obedient before leaving satisfied.

Outside the door, Wu Wang waited for Xie Heng.

Distracted by Xie Heng, and then with Wan Zi coming to report on the affairs of the Shence Army, Song Qingning forgot to delve deeper into what had just flashed through her mind.

The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days.

As is customary, a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the palace.

The noble families, court officials, and noblewomen gathered together in a harmonious atmosphere.

As soon as it got dark, Xie Heng and several guards left the palace in a low-key manner, and he specially brought Wu Wang with him.

On the carriage, Wu Wang seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Xie Heng keenly noticed it.

"Wu, what's wrong with you? Don't you like me taking you out of the palace? I really don't understand you. The outside world is much more interesting than the inside. When I go out of the palace to ask my uncle for advice, I ask you to accompany me, but you always make excuses to refuse. It's really not like you."

Xie Heng had long been suspicious.

Normally, whenever he made a request, Supervisor Wu would comply.

Supervisor Wu cared a lot about his studies. Ever since he became interested in military books and swords, Wu Wang constantly reminded him that he should read books and practice swordsmanship.

He cared about it even more than his father and mother.

However, he was unwilling to leave the palace, even avoiding it as if it were a venomous snake.

Wu Wang snapped out of his daze and forced a smile. "Your Highness, this servant is used to life in the palace."

"Habit? I'll take it as a habit." Xie Heng nodded, respecting his habit.

but……

"Let's make an exception tonight. I finally got the Empress Dowager's permission. I heard from Uncle Yushu that the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern festival in our capital city of Dajing is really fun."

"There are so many lanterns, all kinds of them. Have you ever seen the lanterns outside the palace?"

Wu Wang's eyes trembled slightly.

A scene flashed into his memory, as if a sharp blade was tearing at his heart. He quickly brushed aside his thoughts, "When I was very young, I was sent to the palace and have never seen the lanterns outside the palace."

He tried his best to suppress the pain in his heart, but some sadness still overflowed.

Xie Heng saw this and felt sorry for him, having entered the palace as a slave since childhood. He raised his little face and comforted him, "It's okay, just enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns outside the palace tonight."

The carriage stopped on the most bustling Suzaku Street.

On Zhuque Street, shops lined the street, and there were stalls selling lanterns along the way.

Xie Heng was seeing such a magnificent sight for the first time, and he was filled with joy and excitement.

The guards in plain clothes followed closely behind him, but when they passed a crowded area, Xie Heng was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is... young master? Have you seen him?"

The guards searched everywhere, but each one shook their head.

"Supervisor Wu, haven't you seen the young master either?"

Wu Wang shook his head as well.

The young prince has gotten lost!

There are many people today, so it's good that nothing bad happens. But if any accident occurs, the lives of those who are with them will be in danger.

"Hurry up and go find him! No matter what, you must find the young master!"

The head guard gave the order.

All the guards and Wu Wang immediately dispersed into the crowd to search for Xie Heng.

As they passed a certain spot, a voice reached Wu Wang's ears.

"This Dajing is so crowded and lively, even the songs sung by women are so soft, no wonder..."

The voice spoke in the Dajing dialect, but it sounded somewhat awkward.

The implication in his words was that he was not from Dajing.

Even if that voice were reduced to ashes, Wu Wang would still recognize it!

The moment he heard that voice, Wu Wang felt his blood boil, but his body stiffened and he couldn't move.

Behind them, another voice of the same kind continued to come:

"Don't mention that woman if you don't want to die! Don't you know how much my second brother and mother hate that woman? If they find out that you actually think that woman is good, you'll be skinned alive, if not dead."

"Cousin, cousin, please calm down. I just suddenly remembered. I don't think she's any good. How can she compare to Aunt in any way?"

"Don't even think about it, they're already dead! Ha, the old man protected her for so many years, he even secretly sent people to build a mausoleum in Dajing before he died, thinking he could die with that woman in the same grave after his death, humph, what a joke!"

"Thankfully, my second brother and mother put an end to his hopes! As soon as that woman died, my mother cremated her and poured her ashes into a stinking ditch. After the old man died, he was buried in the imperial mausoleum and will be buried with my mother. How could that woman be worthy of him!"

"Hmph, and that bastard child too..."

The voice paused at this point.

After a moment, he continued, "My second brother said that if someone is dead, we must see their body. I always feel that he is still alive. My second brother has sent people here several times, but they have all returned empty-handed. This time, I have come in person, and I am sure I can find my third brother!"

We'll definitely find him...

Wu Wang gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with the overwhelming hatred in his heart.

Reason told him to hurry up.

However, it felt as if my feet were nailed to the ground.

The two voices behind us continued:

"Cousin, that bastard has a birthmark on his shoulder. Every time he sees someone suspicious, he has to strip them naked. After all, we're in the capital of Dajing. We came here secretly. What if we're discovered..."

"So what if I've been discovered? I... I'm my second brother's own flesh and blood. What can the Emperor of Dajing do to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to spot someone suspicious and pointed at the retreating figure, saying, "You..."

That gaze fell on Wu Wang.

Wu Wang's body remained stiff.

"Although he's thin, he's about the same height as that bastard. Go check if he has a birthmark on his shoulder!"

The man gave instructions to the person beside him.

Then the footsteps grew closer.

Wu Wang's breath caught in his throat, a voice in his mind urging him to run.

Finally, I regained feeling in my feet, which had seemed frozen in place.

Just as the footsteps were getting closer to him, Wu Wang struggled forward, with only one thought in mind: escape.

Now that he's in their hands, he has no chance of winning.

He could only face certain death, but he couldn't die!

He still has so much to do!

But his running away aroused even more suspicion from the two men who had been there earlier.

The two men, along with their entourage, immediately gave chase.

On the streets of Suzaku Street, Wu Wang ran while looking for an opportunity to shake off the people behind him.

"Wu, the Supervisor..."

Suddenly, a childish voice rang out.

Wu Wang turned around and saw a child waving at him from the left side of the intersection.

It's Xie Heng!

The eldest son of the Emperor and Empress of the Great Jing Dynasty!

In that instant, an evil thought flashed through Wu Wang's mind.

If he can't escape, he can drag Xie Heng along with him.

If Xie Heng makes a mistake, the Emperor and Empress of Dajing will definitely not let it go.

In this way, he can achieve his goal!

but……
