Chapter 113: Cannibalism, Replenishing the Body with Kindness

What surprised Wei Qingyan was that after hearing what she said, the Queen Mother's first reaction was to yell at the guards in front of her, "Stop them, don't let them hurt Prince Rong."

The Queen Mother actually put Shi Yu's safety before hers?

This reaction made Wei Qingyan look at the Queen Mother again.

Her eyes were anxious and her expression was flustered, which did not seem fake. She even pushed the guard with her own hands when the guard hesitated.

Wei Qingyan thought about it and wondered if there was any need for the Queen Mother to put on a show in Prince Rong's Mansion.

She was able to poison Shi Yu, so why did she still need to pretend to be a mother?

The answer is no.

But the Queen Mother’s reaction just now was too real. Why would she protect Shi Yu?

With this doubt, Wei Qingyan came to Shi Yu.

The Queen Mother came to Prince Rong's Mansion, and Shi Yu had no choice but to lie on the bed and pretend to be sick to deal with the Queen Mother. Wei Qingyan's arrangement was made only after he had gone to the Queen Mother's courtyard and heard Dong Zang's report.

Seeing that no one had come yet, he could no longer lie down and paced around the room waiting.

He knew Xiao Yan too well. She had always been protective of her children. She was afraid that she had been wanting to beat the Queen Mother for a long time, so she did not allow Dong Zang to tell him in advance.

Finally seeing the person, he glanced at Dong Zang, but when he spoke to Wei Qingyan, his tone was unspeakably soft.

"Xiao Yan, are you hurt?"

He knew that the Queen Mother brought only a few people and that they could not hurt Wei Qingyan, not to mention that Lan Shu was there, and this was his house, but he was still worried because he didn't see anyone coming back.

Wei Qingyan shook his head, "No."

The secret guards of Prince Rong's mansion pretended to be her and followed Lan Shu to the manor. Jingzhe took people to pretend to chase them, and she was replaced and taken to Shi Yu's room by Dong Zang.

Obviously, he had arranged everything properly, so there was no chance for the Queen Mother and her men to hurt her. Seeing the concern in his eyes, Wei Qingyan felt warm in her heart.

She pulled him to the bed and made him lie down. "Put on a full show. If they knew you were well now, it would cause a lot of trouble."

Shi Yu listened to her mumbling like a young wife, and lay down as she said, holding her hand all the time, "There are clean clothes behind the screen."

Wei Qingyan lowered his eyes to look at the nightgown that Dong Zang had given him, and let go of his hand. "Wait a moment."

While he was talking, he stood up and went behind the screen to change his clothes.

She has already broken the formation on the farm. Now with A'gu and Jingzhe, they will be able to expose the filth on the farm to the world.

After changing his clothes, Wei Qingyan told Yu about the Queen Mother's reaction just now and asked, "Why did she come here today?"

Shi Yu extended his hand towards her and said, "She asked me to take two concubines into the family when I marry you. She said she was afraid that I would be in poor health and die early without leaving behind a family line. Then she would be too embarrassed to see the late emperor in the future."

As for the Queen Mother's recent behavior, although he was somewhat surprised, he did not think that the Queen Mother was sincere.

After all, the Queen Mother was still by his bedside in the afternoon, saying a lot of unpleasant things in a bad tone, and her tone showed that she wished he would die sooner.

Wei Qingyan reached out and held his hand, then sat down in front of his bed. "Don't talk nonsense."

She couldn't accept the word death being associated with Shi Yu anymore, she didn't like to hear it.

Shi Yu saw that she cared more and more about him, his eyebrows relaxed, and he squeezed her hand, "I didn't agree, and I also told her that I won't marry you so soon. Xiao Yan, when you want to get married, tell me."

I will plan our wedding according to your wishes.

Why are they talking about marriage out of the blue? Wei Qingyan's heartbeat quickened a little, and he changed the subject, "What do you think Princess Yu's goal is?"

She collected a lot of grievances from the people in the village, but not a single one of them knew why they were treated like that by Princess Yu.

Shi Yu had also thought about this question and said solemnly, "In those years, when I was sick, my subordinates went around looking for famous doctors for me, and of course they came into contact with some unorthodox methods.

In the southern wilderness, there was a tribe that was skilled in witchcraft and medicine. Their method of curing illnesses was to use the same method to cure the disease. However, this method was later rejected by the world because it was too cruel and bloody.

The Nanman tribe gradually abandoned this witchcraft and moved deep into the mountains. They also ordered their members not to practice witchcraft to heal people. However, some people did not obey the tribe's rules and secretly left the mountains for fame and fortune.

"Like cures like?"

Wei Qingyan's eyes were filled with shock. "You'll eat whatever's not good?"

In this way, it is consistent with what Zhuangzi said.

Shi Yu nodded solemnly, "That's pretty much what I meant, but our people found out that Princess Yu is not ill.

Although Prince Yu was very disappointed with his son Shi Chengze, he was not completely indifferent to his first wife's legitimate son.

After Shi Chengze got into trouble, he built a Taoist temple in the palace and devoted himself to practicing Taoism, leaving all the affairs in the palace to Princess Yu.

My people watched him day and night for a long time. He rarely left the temple. He was either in his room meditating or in the courtyard, driving piles and basking in the sun.

But according to Wang Zhi, in addition to Princess Yu, there are also men who specialize in stealing other people's virginity.

If that person is not Prince Yu, who could it be?

Wei Qingyan was just about to say something.

Dong Zang's voice rang out from outside, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is here."

Shi Yu pointed behind the screen and said, "There's a secret door over there. Go in and rest for a while. I'll come back later."

The Queen Mother was slapped today and must be in a bad mood. She might take her anger out on the people around him. He didn't want Xiao Yan to be targeted by the Queen Mother.

Wei Qingyan understood what he was thinking and stood up. In front of her, Shi Yu reached out for a switch under the bed, and a wall behind the screen was opened.

When leaving, Wei Qingyan said to Yu, "Remember what you promised me."

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

He promised her that he would no longer be bullied by the Queen Mother.

When the empress dowager came in, Shi Yu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

"Who have you offended again? Who came to assassinate you in the middle of the night?" The Queen Mother spoke to the person on the bed in a bad tone.

"Your Majesty, the prince has not woken up since he fell into a coma in the afternoon." Dong Zang walked to the side of the Queen Mother and knelt down.

In the afternoon, the Queen Mother forced Shi Yu to marry a concubine. Shi Yu refused without a second thought, and the Queen Mother then scolded, threatened, and made a fuss.

Shi Yu didn't want to get entangled with her, and was worried about Wei Qingyan's situation, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

"Didn't we call in a doctor from outside? Why can't we wake him up?"

Dongzang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Useless, all useless. He can't even cure a coma. What's the use of him?"

The Queen Mother angrily cried, "You too, failed to protect the palace, allowing assassins to come and go freely, putting Ai Jia and Prince Rong in danger. Drag them out and have them all beaten to death!"

"Why should you take your anger out on them, Queen Mother? If you truly do not wish to see your son, please persuade my brother to allow him to return to his fiefdom."

Shi Yu opened his eyes while lying on the bed and looked at the Queen Mother quietly. "My son does not want to reach the point where the water has been spilled and cannot be undone with the Queen Mother."

After all, she had treated him sincerely.

After all, he had lived a good life for so many years as her son.

"If that's the case, why can't you be more obedient? Why can't you be a little more well-behaved?"

The Queen Mother's eyes sparkled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Shi Yu, if we mother and son really reach that point, I will kill you with my own hands."

It's better than you falling into the hands of others.

She looked at Dong Zang and said, "Get out of here now! Let the imperial physician in the palace treat him properly. If I don't let him die, he won't die peacefully."

She looked at Shi Yu again, "You're dreaming of escaping from the clutches of my family and your royal brother, Shi Yu!"
