Chapter 168 Shi Yu, let’s find time to get married

The emperor has become suspicious of her identity.

Once her identity is exposed, it is not clear whether the emperor is willing to accept his brother as his son-in-law, or whether he will try to stop it.

To everyone in the world, she and Shi Yu are uncle and nephew.

It goes against moral principles and ethics.

Given Shi Yu's feelings for her, he would definitely reveal that he was not a royal son and ask to be demoted to a commoner.

After all, it is impossible for the prince of the Shi family to marry the princess of the Shi family, even if this prince was only adopted by the late emperor.

The Queen Mother gave up Shi Yu for Su Mao without knowing the truth. Once she knew that Shi Yu was not her biological son, she would definitely take action against Shi Yu.

She believed that Shi Yu had the ability to protect himself and would do his best to maintain their engagement, but she didn't want him to fall into such a passive situation.

"The Emperor just wanted to test me and asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate a date for us. Mother, please help me find a way to move the wedding date forward. I want to protect him legitimately."

Once the marriage is completed, no matter whether the emperor makes her a princess or a general protecting the country, Shi Yu is already her man.

No matter what happens, she can stand by him.

"Okay." Lan Shu had no choice but to agree.

"It's just that the Merit Seal..."

They were not sure whether the seal of merit would return to their daughter's body if they had sex, and whether Shi Yu would become sickly again.

She was naturally happy that the seal of merit could return to her daughter's body, but she also didn't want her future son-in-law to be a sickly man.

Wei Qingyan knew her worries and comforted her, "Once the matter between Prince Jing and Su Mao is settled, we will go look for the fat monk."

Before that, they can get married without having a wedding night.

Lan Shu understood what she meant and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

"good."

After the mother and daughter agreed, they were about to go look for Shi Yu, and saw Shi Yu coming towards them with Jingzhe.

"How?" Wei Qingyan asked.

Shi Yu replied, "We captured a eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment and a palace guard. The eunuch passed the news of Madam Wei's death to the guard.

The guard revealed that he would have passed the news to the shopkeeper of Youxiang Pavilion after his shift ended, and the shopkeeper would have passed it on.

"Youxiang Pavilion?" Wei Qingyan frowned. "Wanyi's dowry shop?"

Shi Yu nodded.

That was one of the dowries that Xiao Yan, her brother, prepared for his sister when Wei Wanyi got married.

He had chosen it with her.

"I've already sent people out of the palace to investigate. I don't know who's running the shop now, but the people there are definitely not the ones you chose before."

"Wanyi has been pampered since she was a child, and has always relied on Madam Wei for everything. I'm afraid this shop is either managed by Madam Wei or by someone from Prince Jing's Mansion."

Shi Yu walked over to Wei Qingyan and went with her to the imperial study, "Ask Wei Wanyi later.

The matter of Madam Wei's death cannot be disclosed for the time being. I have already dealt with the Ministry of Punishment, and now it is Wei Wanyi's turn."

Wei Qingyan understood his concerns.

If the news of Madam Wei's death were to get out, it would alarm King Jing.

If King Jing guessed that the emperor knew his plan, he might burn his boats and delay coming to the capital, or even raise an army directly.

"The emperor asked her to live in the palace temporarily..." Wei Qingyan told him what the emperor said after Shi Yu left.

Shi Yu's hand under his sleeve hooked Wei Qingyan's little finger, "You don't have to blame yourself, I have been the prince of the Shi family for many years, and I have been worshipped by the people.

Eliminating the evildoers in the palace, protecting the stability of the country, and maintaining peace in the world are all my responsibilities."

Wei Qingyan was not surprised by his words. She had known that Shi Yu was this kind of person. She hooked her finger around his and said, "Be careful then."

Shi Yu was always nervous because of his previous speculations about the late emperor.

At this point, he finally smiled, "You should also be careful when you look for Crown Prince Feng Zhao."

Lan Shu looked at the two people's little movements and curled the corners of her lips.

Although his daughter never expressed any guilt, Shi Yu could hear the guilt in her words and comforted her in time.

They have a mutual understanding, the same ideas, and they advance and retreat together. It is a blessing for both of them to have such a person to spend their lives with.

When they were almost at the imperial study, Wei Qingyan and Lan Shu found a place to wait, while Shi Yu went to the imperial study to report his findings to the emperor.

Before Shi Yu came out, he saw the living 'Little Madam Wei' walking out of the imperial study.

Following behind her were Wei Wanyi's personal maid and an old nanny from the palace.

When Madam Wei saw the two of them, she glared at Lan Shu, then snorted and walked out of the palace with her head held high.

Her appearance and demeanor are exactly like the real Madam Wei.

Wei Qingyan was just thinking that although Shi Yu had concealed Madam Wei's death, there were still a group of people surrounding him outside.

The emperor couldn't announce to the public that Madam Wei was allowed to stay in the palace as well.

I didn't expect the emperor to create a fake Madam Wei so quickly.

"It's Jade-faced Young Master." Lan Shu whispered in Wei Qingyan's ear, "He and I met as a friend when we were traveling the world. I never thought he would take him in as his own."

After thinking about it, Lan Shu understood.

The emperor suspected that Prince Jing might be the late emperor, and many of the people around him were left to him by the late emperor. He probably didn't dare to trust the people left by the late emperor, so he used his own people.

"A man?" Wei Qingyan was slightly surprised.

"Yeah, and he's older than me." Lan Shu muttered, "The expensive scar cream I bought for you was bought from him by someone."

"Will he tell the emperor about this?"

If the Jade-faced Young Man was the emperor's man, and my mother bought scar removal cream from him two years ago, would the emperor have known my mother's whereabouts a long time ago?

So as to know her whereabouts?

Lan Shu knew what she was worried about, "The fat monk told me that the ointment belongs to Jade-faced Young Master, and asked me to be careful not to reveal my identity.

Yumian has many brothels in his hands, and he sells ointments in the buildings. He doesn't need to check the customers when ordinary people buy things. Besides, I have passed it on several times, so you can rest assured. "

"Wait?" Wei Qingyan stared intently, "Why would the fat monk give such instructions?"

"Does he know that Jade-faced Young Master is a mutual friend of the Emperor and me? Is he worried that Jade-faced Young Master will tell the Emperor about my whereabouts?"

In Lan Shu's mind, the fat monk is omnipotent and omniscient.

In addition, she didn't know at that time that Wei Qingyan was the national defender of the Wei Dynasty, so she didn't think much about what the fat monk said.

"You didn't know that Jade-faced Young Master was employed by the Emperor, right?"

Lan Shu nodded.

She was also surprised when she saw the guy.

Wei Qingyan's tone darkened, "But the fat monk knows, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have given such instructions."

My mother had stayed with the emperor for several years before, but she didn't know that the Jade-faced Young Man was the emperor's man. How could a fat monk who was wandering around know?

When Lan Shu was asked this by Wei Qingyan, she realized that something was wrong, "Yes, Yumian is from the martial arts world, and ordinary martial arts people don't like to be involved with the royal family.

So the emperor used a pseudonym at that time.

The Emperor hasn't left the palace in all these years, so the two shouldn't have had any contact. If they hadn't, why would the fat monk worry that Jade Face would reveal our whereabouts to the Emperor?"

Only the fat monk knew that Jade Face had dealings with the Emperor.

Lan Shu slapped her forehead and said, "Why do I feel that the fat monk has a deep connection with this capital city?"

"Maybe it's not a feeling, but it is just the way it is."

Wei Qingyan said solemnly, "I want to send a reliable person back to Lotus Pier."

She changed her mind.

She couldn't wait for King Jing and Su Mao to be caught.

She went back immediately after hearing only the news about the fat monk, as she had many questions to ask.

After a while, Shi Yu also came out of the imperial study.

Wei Qingyan followed him out of the palace. As they boarded the carriage, Shi Yu asked, "What happened?"

He noticed that both she and Lan Shu looked a little heavy just now.

But then Wei Qingyan said, "Shi Yu, let's find some time to get married."
