Chapter 250: Are you willing to be made the Crown Princess?

Wei Qingyan suddenly had a bunch of questions in his mind and wanted to ask the emperor.

The emperor met his daughter's gaze and used his eyes to signal her to calm down.

He got this information after he and Wei Qingyan recognized each other, and then he sent people to investigate the emperor's hometown and the fat monk. The news had just arrived and he had not had time to inform Wei Qingyan.

The palms of the deposed prince were sweaty. He guessed right. His father was indeed bewitched by Lan Shu and her daughter, and actually admitted in public that Wei Qingyan was his daughter.

The words he just spoke were full of protection for Wei Qingyan. Father... he must really want to hand over the world to Wei Qingyan's hands.

No, absolutely not!

He said, "Father, Wei Qingyan is the daughter of the Wei family. Disguising herself as a man and entering the court is already deceiving the emperor.

With this precedent, it is clear that Wei Qingyan is not a trustworthy person. You cannot easily believe that she is your daughter.

Besides, how could the daughter of the royal family be in the Wei family? It can't be that the Wei family stole the royal princess. Please think twice, father."

Since his father was protecting Wei Qingyan, he couldn't do anything to her at the moment, but he couldn't let Wei Qingyan return to the royal family.

He didn't know how Wei Qingyan got to the Wei family, but the incident of Lan Shu's child being switched had caused such a big uproar, and Madam Wei didn't reveal Wei Qingyan's identity, which showed that there must be a secret that could not be told.

He hoped that this secret would remind his father and make him sober up, so that he would not impulsively recognize Wei Qingyan just because of that bitch Lan Shu.

The emperor looked at the deposed prince with cold eyes.

When he learned that the little ghost had sent someone to contact the deposed prince, he simply had someone reveal Wei Qingyan's identity to him. If he knew that Qingyan was his sister and repented, he would give him a chance to make amends.

If he has no regrets, then use him to expose the late emperor's actions.

We must give the world an explanation so that Qingyan can stand upright between heaven and earth, and even in the court.

It now seems that he had overestimated his son. This man was looking for an opportunity to harm others without even a moment's hesitation.

He looked at the ministers who had just entered the palace to check on the situation and said seriously, "Wei Qingyan is the daughter of me and Lan Shu, the eldest princess of the royal family.

How did she go to the Wei family and how did she disguise herself as the son of the Wei family? I think the ministers must have the same doubts as the deposed prince, and even slandered the Wei family.

This matter involves many things, but since it concerns the royal bloodline and the General's Mansion, I should indeed give the world an explanation.

However, these things cannot be explained in a few words, so I have decided to make the truth public in written form.

At five o'clock in the morning, the imperial silk will be posted at the palace gate. Those ministers who need to return home can go back home, and those who want to stay can go to the side hall of the council to rest for a while."

Too many things happened tonight. Prince Jing rebelled, saying that Prince Rong was not of royal blood. The general who died in the battle came back to life, and now this general has become the emperor's daughter.

After the rebels were captured, the ministers settled their families and entered the palace. One reason was to inquire about the emperor's situation, and the other was to find out what was going on.

Now that the matter has not been clarified yet, how can anyone leave the palace? Moreover, it is already the fourth watch and there is still an hour until the fifth watch.

They all went to the side hall of the Council Hall to wait.

The emperor glanced at the deposed prince calmly and said, "Aren't you curious too? Then go to the front hall and wait."

"Father..."

Seeing the emperor's attitude, the deposed prince felt very panicked.

But the emperor had turned around and didn't look at him again.

Wei Qingyan had many doubts in his heart and hurried to catch up with the emperor.

The emperor knew that Wei Qingyan was anxious, so as soon as he arrived at the imperial study, without waiting for Wei Qingyan to ask, he said, "The father of the late emperor, that is, my grandfather, loved to indulge in mountains and rivers.

At that time, the Shi family was relatively well-off, so he often traveled.

One year he rescued a seriously injured woman and brought her home. The woman was ignorant and had no memories, but she was extremely beautiful. His grandfather fell deeply in love with her and took her as his concubine, doting on her utmost.

A year later, the woman gave birth to a son, but died in childbirth. That child was Yilian.

My grandfather lost his beloved and stubbornly believed that Yilian's birth was the cause of his beloved's death. He treated Yilian with great disdain. Even the name Yilian was given by his master. Yilian had no name in the Shi family for several years and was not included in the family tree.

His eyes fell on Wei Qingyan's eyebrows, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yilian is born a little different from other children.

When he was two years old, the first words he spoke were to tell an elder in the mansion that he had ten days to live.

The elder really died ten days later, and two similar incidents happened afterwards. Everyone believed that Yilian had the ability to curse people and regarded it as an ominous sign.

My grandfather was the head of the family at that time. He didn't like Yilian. Everyone followed his preferences and disliked Yilian to begin with. After they decided that he was unlucky, they treated him even worse.

Therefore, Yilian's life in the mansion was very difficult, and only one person took good care of him privately."

"Is it the late emperor?" Wei Qingyan felt a pain in his heart.

Such an optimistic and cheerful fat monk had such a miserable childhood. How much must a father hate his son to not even give him a name or include him in the family tree.

The emperor nodded. "Yes, only the late emperor treated him well. Perhaps for this reason, after Yilian learned of the late emperor's uprising, she did her best to help him."

"The late emperor's evil magic must have been taught by him."

If Yilian could tell a person's lifespan at a very young age, some of her abilities must have been innate.

Based on their understanding of the late emperor, he would not do anything without a profit. If he knew that Yilian had extraordinary abilities, would he pretend to be nice to him and coax Yilian into teaching him something?

The fat monk wrote a lot of things in his notebook, but it was incomplete.

For example, he recorded the method of refining a little ghost, but did not write how to recite the spell; he recorded the method of taking over another's body, but did not write how to do it.

She even complained to him at the time, asking why he didn't write down the method as well, which simply aroused her curiosity.

Every time this happened, the fat monk would stop smiling and tell her seriously that those evil techniques must never be touched. He didn't write them down because he didn't want others to learn them and harm others.

Could it be that it was because he had taught the late emperor, and the late emperor had harmed people, that he warned himself so sternly and was so cautious that he didn't even dare to write the method in his notebook?

But if the fat monk knew that the late emperor was harming people, why didn't he stop him?

Before Wei Qingyan could figure it out, he heard the emperor say, "This matter has not been investigated yet. Probably only Yilian and the late emperor know about it."

After all, if Wei Qingyan had not found out about the late emperor, no one would have known that the late emperor was proficient in sorcery.

Wei Qingyan thought of what Dong Zang's mother said, that the late emperor had been looking for a monk in recent years, and she had previously thought he was looking for Wangchen.

The late emperor started looking for someone six years ago. Perhaps it was because he failed to seize the body of another person six years ago that he hurriedly sought help from the fat monk. The late emperor couldn't find him, so the fat monk deliberately didn't let the late emperor find him. At this time, the relationship between the two must have been bad.

If this is true, at least the fat monk is not an accomplice of evil, and Wei Qingyan felt relieved.

She thought of something else, "Why did Yilian become a monk? Was it because of his strangeness?"

She remembered Yu Liangzhi saying that the fat monk didn't like being a monk, and after three years of being with him, she also knew that the fat monk was greedy for worldly affairs.

The emperor did not rush to answer, but handed the edict of repentance he had written earlier to the eunuch and asked him to take it to the palace gate and post it.

Then he took out another imperial edict and handed it to Wei Qingyan, "Take a look at this first."

Wei Qingyan took it and after seeing the contents, his eyes trembled slightly.

The emperor sighed and said, "Once the edict of blaming oneself was issued, the people were inevitably disappointed with the royal family. Although you are a member of the royal family, you grew up in the Wei family and have done things to protect the country and the people. You are also the apprentice of Wu Lian, the military advisor.

I originally wanted to directly issue an imperial decree to appoint you as the Crown Princess, and use your reputation to help me consolidate this country. After all, most of the credit for the establishment of this country comes from your father, your master, and General Du Changyuan.

But Shi Yu told me that day that he would support whatever you wanted to do, but he hoped that I would ask your opinion before making a decision.

Now, the Emperor asks you, are you willing? If you are willing, I will hand over this kingdom to you in the future.

If you don't want to, I hope you can take on the title of Crown Princess first, and then I can choose a suitable one from among your younger brothers to train, and then you can take off this burden, okay?"

"If I agree, Father will tell me why the fat monk became a monk?"

The emperor smiled helplessly, "Even if you don't agree, father will tell you."

The reason why he didn't say it was because he was worried that Qingyan would drop everything and go looking for someone immediately after knowing it, but she couldn't leave for the time being.

The emperor's behavior made Wei Qingyan uneasy. She took a deep breath and said, "I agree. Father, tell me now."

"When Yilian was born, he had a red lotus birthmark between his eyebrows." The emperor's eyes were filled with pity. "The monk who took him away said that he was born a child of Buddha. The red lotus mark is the seat of his life spirit. His extraordinary abilities were born with the red lotus."

boom!

Wei Qingyan found that he had tinnitus and could no longer hear what the emperor was saying.

Only the pain in her heart came in waves, so painful that she couldn't stop crying.
