Chapter 399 Recruit

Patting his forehead lightly, Wei Qingyan said, "That's not the right way to ask. I should be asking if Wang Mingzhi is the Queen's man?"

Wang Mingzhi was also an official appointed by the court, so naturally he knew the queen in power. She was really stupid.

"Or should I ask, what is the cooperative relationship between him and the Queen?"

Wang Mingzhi is proficient in occult arts. A hundred years ago, a mad doctor developed that vile poison for his niece. A hundred years later, Wang Mingzhi also had an illicit relationship with his niece.

It is very likely that Wang Mingzhi is the mad doctor from a hundred years ago. Such a person must have extraordinary abilities and may not be willing to be the queen's lackey. It would be more appropriate to say that he is cooperating.

Sun was nearly fainting from the pain, but she was worried the old lady would attack her again, so she could only speak weakly, "I only know that he was able to be transferred to the Imperial City because he followed the Queen's lead. He never told me anything else."

Wei Qingyan whispered to Dong Zang, "Check Wang Mingzhi."

After a pause, he said, "Go ask my aunt first."

Qingwu has been keeping an eye on the Queen for years. If Wang Mingzhi was the Queen's man, she would definitely know more.

The old lady said, "This man has been transferred to the Imperial City for many years. He has been here alone and has never brought his family with him. He also received an idle position from the Ministry of Rites and rarely interacts with outsiders.

I didn't pay attention to when he disappeared. It was only at a banquet that I overheard people talking about him and learned that he had left a letter of resignation at home, saying that he wanted to travel around the country, and then he left.

Because he held an idle position and often did not go to the yamen, it was half a month later before he realized he was missing.

When the Queen learned of this, she flew into a rage and blamed the then Minister of Rites for not governing strictly enough. She dismissed him from his position, and it was at that time that Cha Yao was promoted to the position of Minister of Rites.

She knew all this because Wang Mingzhi was Sun's uncle, and Sun grew up in the Wang family. Thinking they were relatives, she paid more attention to it.

But Wang Mingzhi was unwilling to have any contact with the Marquis' Mansion. She even asked Sun about it at the time, but Sun hesitated, probably meaning that her in-laws were not treating her well and she was perhaps embarrassed to visit them.

Thinking about how she lost her mother at a young age and how it was not easy to make a living in her mother's family, and how her husband was often away fighting after she married into the marquis's mansion, she felt even more pity for Sun.

Now that she knew the truth, the old lady really wanted to punch herself twice.

Wei Qingyan's eyes turned slightly.

This is even more suspicious. Wang Mingzhi was transferred to the capital by the Queen, but he only held an idle position in the Ministry of Rites.

From what the old lady said, he doesn't interact with other officials and seems to be indifferent to his career. Does he really not seek advancement, or does he appear to be indifferent but actually enjoys privileges in private?

If he is the one who helps the queen, then it is the latter.

But this man's magic is much more advanced than Shi Dehou's. Who is his background? Why is he unwilling to help the Queen later, leaving the Queen with no one to rely on and having to seek cooperation with Shi Dehou?

"From the time you first met Wang Mingzhi to the time he became entangled with you, did his temperament change during this period?"

Sun didn't have time to reply. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted from the pain.

Jingyang was called over again and temporarily stopped Sun's bleeding. When she woke up, Shi Yu had just finished interrogating Cha Yao.

He stood beside Wei Qingyan and said to the old lady, "Cha Yao confessed that the prince was murdered by Wang Mingzhi, who was poisoned to death by Sun. He was poisoned by Sun's Bliss Powder and became her slave, helping her dispose of Wang Mingzhi's body."

This is the same as what Sun said.

Wei Qingyan asked Sun the same question again. Sun looked at the blood on Jingzhe's hand and realized that Cha Yao must have been tortured.

Fearing that he would suffer further, he told the truth, "When I went to my maternal home, he accompanied my grandfather to pick me up. He has a good relationship with my mother, so he treated me very well.

It was the kindness of an elder to a younger person, until I was twelve years old, when he suddenly had that kind of thought.

When my grandfather noticed his thoughts, he killed him. He was very paranoid towards me and even forbade me to have a servant in my courtyard. Even when I went out, the driver had to be a woman.

Her mother died when she was young, her father didn't love her, and her grandmother didn't like her. Wang Mingzhi's obsessive love was exactly what she liked in the past.

It was not until she experienced another kind of emotion in Song Dalang, which was love and respect, that Wang Mingzhi's love became a shackle in comparison.

"What happened to his illness?" Wei Qingyan asked.

Sun shook her head, "I don't know the details, he suddenly became ill out of nowhere, and the doctor couldn't find anything.

But he seemed to know that he was going to get sick, and before he fell asleep, he warned me not to marry anyone else.

Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu looked at each other, and at the same time, an idea popped up in their minds: take over another's body!

The real Wang Mingzhi was possessed by a mad doctor.

The mad doctor developed the ecstasy powder in order to get his niece, which shows his emotional paranoia. So Sun should be the reincarnation of the mad doctor's niece.

Did the Queen seek cooperation with him because she knew the secret of the mad doctor?

"How long did you sleep that time? Did you experience this kind of sleepiness again after that?"

Wei Qingyan speculated that Wang Mingzhi's coma was a backlash.

But Sun was already an old woman, much older than the empress. The empress was not yet born when Sun was not married, so it was impossible that Wang Mingzhi did something to help the empress and suffered backlash.

It must be that he himself did something that went against the will of heaven.

But if there really is a punishment from heaven, he should be punished for helping the queen seize the Lin family's fortune.

Sure enough, Sun said, "There was another time after that, about thirty-three years ago. That time he slept for more than a year."

Wei Qingyan quickly calculated in his mind that the queen was now in her early forties. Thirty-three years ago, she was about eight or nine years old and had been reborn.

After being reborn, he found Wang Mingzhi based on his memories of his previous life and asked him to help seize the Lin family's fortune. The timing was right.

Just at this time, Dongzang came back.

“The princess said that Wang Mingzhi was the queen’s man. Although his position was sinecure, he often came into the palace and was also a frequent visitor to the Imperial Observatory.

After he left the imperial city, the queen sent many people to search for him everywhere, but the princess could not find out why the queen valued Wang Mingzhi so much.

So the princess sent someone to Wang Mingzhi's hometown, and heard that although this man was the head of the Wang family, he was away from the Wang family.

He never married in his life. He divided the palace into two parts, and put the rest of his brothers on one side. He lived in the other side with Sun. He rarely interacted with others and was very lonely.

Those of the Wang family's brothers and uncles who took advantage of his illness to attack him were all dealt with secretly and ruthlessly. As a result, after he came to the Imperial City, he never had any contact with the Wang family again, and no one in the Wang family dared to take his position as head of the family.

The news brought by Dong Zang made Wei Qingyan more certain of his thoughts.

Wang Mingzhi is no longer the real Wang Mingzhi.

Her dark eyes suddenly turned to Sun, "You know this Wang Mingzhi is no longer the same Wang Mingzhi as before, right?"

They were together day and night, and no matter how well the man disguised himself, it was impossible for Sun to not notice anything.

Sun lowered her eyes, "Yes."

Cha Yao had confessed everything, so there was no need for her to deny it. She just wanted to stop suffering.

Besides, the contempt in the eyes of her mother-in-law and the others was too obvious. She admitted it because she wanted to let them know that they were not really uncle and nephew, and they were not having an affair.

She was not that ashamed, and she deliberately ignored the fact that the body belonged to her blood-related uncle.

Wei Qingyan didn't have the mind to think about Sun's self-deception, she was thinking about something important.

There are conditions for taking over someone's body. One is blood relationship, and the other is a person who has been with you for a long time.

Wang Mingzhi can't be the descendant of a mad doctor.

Thinking of this, she asked Jingyang.

It just so happened that Jing Yang knew, "The mad doctor had no descendants. It was said that his niece was too absurd during her pregnancy, resulting in two deaths, and he also committed suicide."

My uncle is obsessed with refining medicine and once tried to refine the antidote for Bliss Powder. My uncle has a habit of trying to learn as much as possible about the life of the person who developed the poison when he wants to develop the antidote for it, so as to find ideas for detoxification.

But after several years of research without any results, the uncle angrily smashed the alchemy furnace and cursed the mad doctor in the pharmacy for three days and three nights. He then learned about the mad doctor's affairs.

Wei Qingyan's pupils suddenly shrank, "The mad doctor is dead?"

Seeing Jingyang nod heavily, Wei Qingyan suddenly felt uneasy.

Then both conditions for possession are not met, and possession must occur when the mad doctor is still alive.

so……

Wei Qingyan's eyes suddenly widened.

The mad doctor is a resurrection!

So where did the mad doctor's soul go after Wang Mingzhi was poisoned to death?

Thinking of something, Wei Qingyan hurriedly pulled Shi Yu and teleported to the room where Cha Yao was imprisoned.
