Chapter 222 Can I Call You Father Again?

The daughter was tantamount to acknowledging her identity. At this moment, in the emperor's view, not to mention one condition, even if it was ten conditions, he would still deserve it. "You say."

Wei Qingyan walked to Shi Yu and held his hand, "After we get married."

The emperor suddenly felt a little jealous. In his daughter's heart, Shi Yu ranked first.

But a daughter is no longer under the control of her father, and Shi Yu has done more for his daughter than he has himself. The old father nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to your request."

Several generals are still on their way to Beijing, and it will be almost time for them to take over the National Protection Army after they get married.

But the little brat will be arriving in the capital soon, and he might be restless. He has to think of a way to make him cause trouble later.

As the emperor fell into deep thought, he heard a cold voice beside his ears, "Thank you, father."

Father?

The emperor looked up suddenly. He didn't dare look at Wei Qingyan, thinking he had misheard. He looked at Lan Shu, "Did you...did you hear anything?"

Lan Shu looked at him like this, feeling both amused and sad. "I heard it. Your daughter is thanking you."

It was really his daughter calling him father.

The emperor's eyes, already bloodshot from lack of sleep, suddenly turned as red as rabbit eyes. He grabbed the quilt and covered his face with it.

A hoarse voice emerged from under the quilt, and he said, "Just now I thought I was the biggest joke in the world, being played around by others and losing my wife and children.

I never thought that you would still want me, I never thought... Can you call me again, it was too sudden, I didn’t hear clearly. "

At the end of his words, there was a hint of grievance in his voice.

Wei Qingyan looked at the emperor, who was completely different from usual. He grabbed the hem of his clothes with his hands and moved his mouth, but no sound came out.

Just now I was touched and called out to him casually, but now I have to call him on purpose, and it is a little difficult to say the word "father".

The emperor had already pulled back the quilt and was looking at her eagerly. She moved her mouth again and finally uttered, "Father."

The emperor pulled the quilt over his face again, and tears rolled down his eyes, wetting the quilt, but the emperor felt that these tears were sweet.

As sweet as the daughter's words "father is the emperor".

Wei Qingyan didn't know what to do next, and looked at Lan Shu helplessly. Lan Shu met her daughter's gaze and pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly.

She didn't know the emperor would react like this, like a little woman.

Seeing that he hadn't taken off the quilt for a long time, Lan Shu pulled the emperor's sleeve and whispered, "It's almost time. The children are still watching."

This reminder made the emperor stiffen slightly.

He remembered that besides his wife and daughter, there was also Shi Yu in the room.

It's okay to embarrass yourself in front of your wife and daughter, but if Shi Yu laughs at you, then... then you'll have to hide in the ground.

He put down the quilt, cleared his throat, and said to Shi Yu, "Go ask the Empress Dowager if the late Emperor named the child Zhao when she was pregnant."

It was almost certain that the little ghost possessed King Jing, and Shi Yu understood that the emperor wanted to send him away.

He could understand his father-in-law's thoughts. If the emperor did not feel guilty towards Xiao Yan, it would be difficult for him to accept his younger brother becoming his son-in-law, especially since he was the Crown Prince Feng Zhao.

Now I have to follow my daughter's wishes and accept him, but I always feel a little awkward and unwilling.

There is nothing wrong in confirming with the Empress Dowager. I just don't know how sincere the late Emperor, who always puts on a show, is towards the Empress Dowager. Has he ever told her about this matter of Zhao?

He bowed and left.

The emperor looked at Wei Qingyan carefully, and felt a little relieved when he saw that she was not unhappy because he let Shi Yu leave.

He said to Wei Qingyan, "I will find a way to deal with King Jing's matter. Don't worry."

"If we also have leverage over the civil and military officials and communicate this to them in advance, then the leverage King Jing holds will be useless."

Between King Jing and the Emperor, everyone knew that they had to choose the Emperor. This method was indeed useful, but how could they find any evidence against the civil and military officials in such a short time?

The emperor couldn't bear to spoil his daughter's fun, so he nodded and said, "I will send the secret guards out."

"Leave this matter to me." Wei Qingyan continued.

It was much easier and faster for her to collect images of resentment than for secret guards to stalk and investigate door to door.

"You?" The emperor was slightly surprised.

When he suspected that Wei Qingyan was his daughter, he investigated her and gave Shi Yu to a few people to use.

If the people from Prince Rong's Mansion were included, their speed would not be much faster than his secret guards. Could it be that she and Shi Yu had other people?

Wei Qingyan didn't want the emperor to be suspicious of Shi Yu, so he took out a paper talisman from his arms and looked at Lan Shu.

Lan Shu understood, sat down next to the emperor, and took the initiative to hold his hand.

The daughter is going to release a ghost, and I wonder if the emperor can resist being scared.

The emperor did not understand the tacit understanding between the mother and daughter. Seeing Lan Shu taking the initiative for the first time, he just thought that Lan Shu was trying to say something good for his daughter.

Just as he was about to comfort the two, he saw the paper talisman in Wei Qingyan's hand spontaneously combust, and a vague figure appeared in front of the emperor.

The emperor was indeed startled. Lan Shu subconsciously held him in her arms and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's Madam Wei."

emperor,"……"

Suddenly he felt that there was nothing wrong with being afraid of ghosts. At least Shu'er treated him more gently than ever before, and his daughter looked at him with concern in her eyes.

He shrank into Lan Shu's arms, "Why is her soul here?"

What I want to ask is, how do you have the ability to take away Madam Wei’s soul.

Wei Qingyan said that he would release Madam Wei, and there were some things he didn’t intend to hide, “After he died in battle that year, a fat monk found Shi Yu.

Let Shi Yu donate a ball of soul fire to help me resurrect. I don’t know how the fat monk did it, but after I woke up, I could see things that ordinary people could not see.

The fat monk said that bringing the dead back to life is against the will of heaven, but I am loyal to the Wei Dynasty and therefore have merits. Combined with Shi Yu's soul fire, I have a chance to change my fate.

Madam Wei died prematurely before her life was over, and her soul could not enter the underworld. I was afraid that she would do evil in the world, so I used talismans to trap her by my side.

Besides, she has committed so many evil things, and dying like that would be too easy for her. She must be made to see what her obsession is really like."

Madam Wei did all those evil things, wasn't it all for the sake of the late emperor and that little devil pretending to be the late emperor? If she could see through the late emperor's hypocritical face, and see that Prince Jing was not the late emperor, but a little devil...

Killing people and destroying their hearts!

The emperor thought his daughter's idea was a good one, and he was even more pleased with Wei Qingyan's openness. Unlike his other princesses, who clearly disliked some people or things but always pretended to be kind in front of him.

Realizing his thoughts had wandered, he quickly collected himself and asked, "Who is that fat monk?"

Lan Shu answered this question for Wei Qingyan, "He is Master Yilian, but we don't know his details..."

She then told the emperor everything that could be said about her becoming possessed, the fat monk saving her, and the fat monk asking her to take care of Wei Qingyan.

The emperor pondered and said, "So, when the monk saved you, he knew your identities, or perhaps he saved you because of your identities.

You are all from the royal family, could it be that he has some connection with the royal family?"

"He seems to be acquainted with the late emperor and my father." Wei Qingyan did not say that the information came from Yu Liangzhi.

Fortunately, the emperor did not delve into the matter and simply shook his head, saying, "It certainly wasn't the late emperor who asked him to save you."

His impression of the late emperor had become extremely bad, and he would rather believe that it was General Wei's entrustment.

He always believed that people always have motives for doing things, but motives can be good or bad. The monk saving his wife and daughter was a good thing for him, but what was the monk's purpose in doing so?

The most important point is that he didn't understand when the late emperor had practiced these evil arts. If the monk could bring Qingyan back to life, it showed how powerful his skills were.

Could it be that the late emperor learned some evil magic and had some connection with the monk?

He told Wei Qingyan his guess truthfully, "I want to send someone to the Shi family's hometown and the Wei family's hometown to inquire about it. Maybe we can find out something."

Wei Qingyan nodded, "Okay."

She also wanted to know where the fat monk came from.

After this matter was settled, the emperor asked, "Did Shi Yu become ill these years because he gave away his soul fire? Then how did he get better?"
