Chapter 215 New Discovery

The emperor didn't want to lie to Lan Shu, but some things needed to be confirmed, so he couldn't tell Lan Shu, so he said vaguely, "There are reasons for this.

In addition, although the child is excellent, the Wei couple is busy and not interested, so it is inevitable that they will lack guidance on some things.

Let her read the memorials for me, so that when the time is right, I can also fulfill my father's responsibility of teaching. If you are not happy, I will not let her read."

Although Lan Shu felt that her daughter was good enough, she was not so blind as to think that her daughter was better than the emperor in everything.

She had previously worried that the emperor, having been in this position for too long, would become accustomed to calculating everything, including her daughter.

But think about what the emperor said to his daughter just now, it is indeed meant to teach

Then he dispelled his doubts and said, "I'm not unhappy. It's a good thing that you are willing to spend time on your daughter."

She also hopes that her daughter will be better and have a smoother life in the future.

The emperor smiled and said, "I said I would give her the best."

Lan Shu said no more and quietly busy herself with the work in her hands.

The emperor was in a good mood today, and he had someone to help him review memorials. He wasn't too tired, and couldn't sleep either. He felt bored and wanted to tease Lan Shu, "What are you going to put your water bird on?"

Lan Shu glared at him and said, "It's Yuanyang."

After saying this, she couldn't help laughing. It was no wonder that the emperor made such a joke, as she herself didn't see any trace of mandarin ducks.

However, "I will get it if I practice more."

Her talent is limited, so she can't embroider a wedding dress for her daughter, but she can still embroider a lining, and her daughter won't despise her.

The emperor looked at her smiling face and remembered that when Lan Shu was pregnant, she also insisted on doing embroidery work for her two children.

Even though she can't even hold a needle and is usually disgusted by delicate work, she can endure having her fingers pricked again and again and sew those small clothes and shoes with love in her eyes.

Worried that her waist would hurt from sitting for too long, he often massaged her waist, and every time he could clearly see the bulge under her belly.

The two children were making a lot of noise in their mother's womb. At that time, he thought that they must be very strong.

Unfortunately, he never saw the other one and would never see it again.

Qingyan is such an outstanding woman. If the child were still alive, he would definitely be an excellent one.

Thinking of his son, the emperor suppressed his smile.

If that child was still alive, why would he place the responsibility on his daughter's shoulders...

Lan Shu looked up and saw him leaning against the pillow with his eyes closed. She stood up and pulled the pillow from around his waist, then helped him lie down. "Rest for a while if you're tired."

The emperor's hand was grabbed by someone. Without opening his eyes, he said in a low voice, "Shu'er, when Qingyan goes to the imperial mausoleum, you should go with him to see the child."

Since Qingyan proposed to go to the imperial mausoleum, I'm afraid he had planned it long ago and he had to go on this trip.

Lan Shu knew that the child he was talking about was Abu, who had been moved to the imperial mausoleum. Seeing his sad expression, she endured it and said nothing. She just replied, "Okay."

On the other side, Wei Qingyan had just arrived in the inner room when Shi Yu came.

Seeing this, Feng Ruobao bowed to Wei Qingyan and said, "You can find it here. I will go to serve His Majesty."

Since His Majesty asked him to bring the princess here, there is nothing in this inner room that the princess cannot see.

There was no need for him to stay.

When Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu were the only ones left in the inner room, Wei Qingyan asked Shi Yu, "Are there any clues on the matter of Dong Zang?"

Shi Yu shook his head. "Ever since he was little, he has always kept things to himself. Once he's determined not to tell someone, he'll never tell them even if he dies..."

Last night he followed Dong Zang to a yard. He wanted to get closer to listen to what they were saying, but the other party was very alert, so he could only wait from a distance.

He only saw Dong Zang coming out with his hands covering his chest and his back hunched, obviously having been beaten. But when he tried to track down the person who met Dong Zang, there was no trace of him.

He guessed that the man was the late emperor's secret guard. The late emperor's secret guard was not only familiar with the imperial palace, but also had control over the layout of the capital.

Wei Qingyan understood Dong Zang's personality. "He got beaten because he didn't do what he wanted, or maybe he secretly informed us.

Shi Yu, I think the people who can really control Dong Zang are not all his family members.

On the night the Emperor was assassinated, we all saw clearly his worry and panic outside the palace walls from our shadows."

When they left the palace that night, they saw Dong Zang waiting anxiously at the foot of the wall. Not knowing what he was going to do, the two hid in the dark and observed for a while. Only when they saw that Dong Zang looked like he was ready to break into the palace, did they show up.

Only then did I realize that Dong Zang was actually worried that the late emperor's secret guards would assassinate Shi Yu. If those people really wanted to assassinate Shi Yu, why would they enter the palace? Wouldn't it be easier outside?

Winter storage means worrying about the chaos.

Shi Yu understood what Wei Qingyan meant. She meant that Dong Zang also had leverage over him, and the only thing in his life that could be used as leverage was his background.

But Dong Zang didn't know that he was Prince Fengzhao, nor did he know that he was not a royal prince. Long before he knew that he was Prince Fengzhao, he had already prepared to leave the royal family and was not afraid of his identity being exposed. Dong Zang knew all this.

So what else is there for Dongzang to worry about?

The two looked at each other, unable to figure it out for a moment, so they suppressed their doubts and concentrated on searching for the things left by the late emperor.

Both of them were familiar with the late emperor's things. The imperial study was a place where they could play often. Even the late emperor's private vault, Shi Yu had sneaked in.

So they quickly searched through several boxes of things but found nothing. When there was only a shelf of books, letters, manuscripts and the like left by the late emperor, they slowed down and searched carefully.

The search took more than two hours.

Feng Ruobao brought the food over and said, "My Lord, Miss, please take a break and eat first before continuing."

Shi Yu was worried that Wei Qingyan was hungry, so he asked him to wash his hands and eat.

After the palace servants brought all the dishes, Shi Yu looked at the dish in front of him and frowned.

Feng Ruobao followed his gaze and saw that Prince Rong was looking at the fish-flavored eggplant flowers. He thought he was curious about why there were eggplants in this season.

He hurriedly explained, "This is something we grew in the Imperial Kitchen's greenhouse. It's just grown a little bit. You've always loved eating this, so I asked the Imperial Kitchen to make it for you."

Knowing that it was Prince Rong who revealed the news that the late emperor wanted to change the crown prince to the emperor, Feng Ruobao was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart. In addition, because of his relationship with Wei Qingyan, he took it to heart.

While showing the menu to the emperor, he also ordered a few dishes for Prince Rong.

"Why does Eunuch Feng think that Prince Rong likes to eat eggplant?" Wei Qingyan also frowned.

Eunuch Feng sensed something was wrong and asked, "You mean the prince doesn't like to eat this?"

Wei Qingyan nodded, "He'll get nauseous if he eats eggplant, so he can't touch it."

The first time she vomited, she laughed at Shi Yu. Shi Yu felt embarrassed and never told anyone else about it.

"This... this is not right." Feng Ruobao's face changed.

The emperor loved eating eggplant since he was a child, but after he was made the crown prince, he did not want to let others know his preference for fear that someone would take advantage of him.

Feng Ruobao felt sorry for his master, so he went to the imperial kitchen more frequently, trying to find ways to satisfy his master's appetite without making a fuss.

Having been to the imperial kitchen so often, one naturally knew that whenever Prince Rong went to dine with the late emperor, there would always be a dish of eggplant. The late emperor had a hard life, having lived and eaten with soldiers, so it was no secret that he did not like eggplant.

Feng Ruobao naturally thought that the eggplants sent to the late emperor were for Prince Rong to eat.

At that time, it was thought that Prince Rong and His Majesty were brothers, so it was normal for them to have the same taste, not to mention that the Queen Mother also liked eggplant.

The two brothers have followed their mother's taste.

But now Wei Qingyan told him that Prince Rong couldn't eat eggplants, so... then who were the eggplants cooked in various ways that were sent to the late emperor's palace in the past years for?

After listening to Feng Ruobao's narration, Shi Yu carefully reviewed his past memories and said with certainty, "When I dined with the late emperor, I never saw eggplant on the table."

Feng Ruobao suddenly felt a chill on his back and murmured, "Is that a ghost? The late emperor never served that dish when he dined alone.

If this dish isn't for the prince, then... is there someone else around the late emperor?"
