Chapter 100 Shi Yu reveals his true feelings

Wei Qingyan finally reached out his hand to Shi Yu.

If they are really blood relatives, then it is just fate.

It wasn't her and Shi Yu's fault. They didn't know these things when they fell in love with each other.

Even if she really couldn't be with Shi Yu in the future, she should tell him the truth.

Only then can I be worthy of Shi Yu's devotion over the years.

At the same time, Lan Shu also ended her struggle between conscience and desire. No matter what, the girl's life was the most important, and now she urgently needed to recover her vitality.

Shi Yu saw all the reactions of the two people.

He carried Wei Qingyan into the house, placed her on the bed, and while holding her hand, he asked, "Xiaoyan, what happened?"

Wei Qingyan nodded, "I may not be a child of the Wei family."

Not the Wei family’s child?

Shi Yu's eyebrows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character.

He didn't care about Xiao Yan's background. What he cared about was the reactions of Wei Qingyan and Lan Shu just now.

To be precise, it was the two people's reaction to him.

What does this have to do with Xiaoyan’s life experience?

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yu figured out the key point. He stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, pulling Wei Qingyan into his arms.

Feeling the person in his arms stiffen, he became more certain of his guess.

"Xiao Yan, are you worried about being my blood relative?"

There was no trace of worry in his voice, which made Wei Qingyan look sideways.

"Did you guess it?"

But he didn't seem to be worried at all. Was there something else going on? Wei Qingyan was suspicious.

Shi Yu touched her head, unable to bear the pain in her heart, and sighed, saying bluntly, "The abandoned child in Dajue Temple is me."

Wei Qingyan suddenly looked up, "You?"

"The Empress Dowager gave birth to a child at an advanced age. The child was born weak and was sent to a temple by the late Emperor in the hope of receiving Buddhist protection, but he ultimately did not survive.

The late emperor could not bear to see the empress dowager suffer the pain of losing her son, so he picked me from the temple and brought me back to the palace."

"But when you asked me to investigate the Dajue Temple incident that day, you said it happened 24 years ago. The Queen Mother gave birth 23 years ago. Wouldn't the Queen Mother notice the child being one year older?"

Wei Qingyan quickly recovered from the shock of Shi Yu not being a royal son and caught the suspicious point.

Shi Yu nodded, "The late emperor said that I didn't grow fast at that time, and the child was raised in the temple for half a year.

They say that children grow stronger after the confinement period, and the Empress Dowager hadn't seen the child for six months. Furthermore, the late Emperor made careful arrangements, so she was kept in the dark.

"When did you find out your identity?"

Wei Qingyan remembered that when Shi Yu was young, he was very close to the empress dowager and the late emperor.

Shi Yu brought the person who had unconsciously left his arms back into his arms, put his arms around her from behind, and wrapped his palms around her.

"The late emperor told me the truth before he died."

Wei Qingyan recalled that Shi Yu was in a very low mood during the time when the late emperor passed away. She just thought that he was suffering from the loss of his father.

Now that he thinks about it, in addition to being sad for the late emperor, he is also troubled by his own life experience. No one can remain indifferent after knowing the changes in their life experience.

Especially in the past few years, he was a child of destiny, but suddenly he had to accept that he was just an abandoned child left in a temple by his parents.

But if the late emperor loved him so much, why did he tell Shi Yu the truth and make him feel uncomfortable?

Wei Qingyan quickly figured it out. "He's afraid that you're concerned about your family and your kingdom, and that you're competing with the emperor for that position?"

Shi Yu nodded.

Wei Qingyan suddenly felt a little angry towards the late emperor.

The late emperor understood the child he had raised, so he used his kindness to coerce Shi Yu.

Shi Yu is kind-hearted. He knows that he is not a child of the Shi family, but he has enjoyed the glory that a child of the Shi family should have. He will definitely not repay kindness with evil.

So, after he sent troops to Beiling, the emperor wanted to take back his military power, and he gave it to him.

But since the late emperor was worried about Shi Yu's usurpation of the throne, why did he show such favor to him before?

If Shi Yu had not been so upright, it would have been difficult for a person not to develop ambitions under such honor and favor.

Wei Qingyan couldn't understand this.

But she understood the Queen Mother's behavior, "The Queen Mother also knows about it, so her attitude towards you has changed, right?"

Shi Yu was silent for a moment, "I think he knows."

Otherwise, why would she suddenly treat him like that?

"If that's the case, why doesn't she reveal your identity to the public?"

She was so cruel as to poison Shi Yu when he was sick and weak, which meant that she would not allow Shi Yu to live under the name of her son.

Shi Yu had explored this question before, but he never figured out the reason.

Later, due to the Queen Mother's repeated cold and arrogant attitude, coupled with his poor health and lack of energy, he lost interest.

Then he said calmly, "Perhaps the late emperor gave instructions or made arrangements."

The Queen Mother's attitude towards Shi Yu changed after she sent troops to Beiling. At that time, the late Emperor had passed away for several years, and Wei Qingyan vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But seeing that Shi Yu didn't want to talk about it anymore, she didn't say anything more.

However, thinking of what the Queen Mother did to Shi Yu, he couldn't help but say, "Don't let her hurt you again in the future."

Shi Yu heard the pain in her tone, spread out her palm, and interlocked his fingers with hers. "One aphrodisiac, two broken bones, three whippings, the favor I owe has been repaid."

After a pause, he continued, "Now I feel I should thank her. If she hadn't ordered someone to poison me with an aphrodisiac, I wouldn't have gone to the hot springs, and I wouldn't have met you."

Xiao Yan had no intention of recognizing him at first. If it weren't for the merits of saving him that were imprinted in his body, and the subsequent involvement, perhaps he would still be recuperating in Prince Rong's mansion, unaware that Xiao Yan had returned to Beijing.

Wei Qingyan also thought of this and shook his hand back, "Maybe it's fate."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Are you relieved now?"

Wei Qingyan nodded lightly and leaned into his arms.

I was glad that I didn't hide it from Shi Yu, but told him the truth.

She was also grateful that Shi Yu understood her so well, and even told her the secret of his life experience in order to dispel her concerns.

Lan Shu at the door breathed a long sigh of relief, the stone in her heart fell to the ground, and her steps became much lighter.

Prince Rong is not from the royal family. If the girl doesn't want to stay in the capital in the future, it will be easier to kidnap her.

If that doesn't work, she'll just take them back to the Sword Casting Villa.

Shi Yu listened to Lan Shu walking away and whispered, "I'll stay with you for a while longer, then I have to get busy."

Wei Qingyan knew that the busy thing he was talking about was replicating Yan Qing's corpse, so he nodded.

Hearing this, Shi Yu said again, "But I'm worried about you."

As he spoke, he held her face and kissed her.

Wei Qingyan was slightly stunned.

A response was given quickly.

She could feel Shi Yu's joy, and seeing Shi Yu happy, she was also... a little happy.

Now with nothing else in mind, both of them felt the deep affection for each other in this kiss.

Just a kiss.

Shi Yu wiped the water off her lips before continuing, "This will work better."

Wei Qingyan glared at him and urged him to get back to his business.

"Hold me for a moment longer, and tell me what happened to you in Prince Jing's mansion tonight?"

Wei Qingyan told him the matter.

Shi Yu frowned when he heard this, "Brother Jingwang has been fond of Wanyi since she was very young. How could he suddenly become involved with your mother... and Madam Wei?"

"He has liked Wanyi since he was a child?"
