Chapter 401 Xiao Yan shakes people

The mad doctor narrowed his eyes and finally came to his senses, "Crown Princess, you won't break your promise, will you?"

"How could that be? I still have many doubts about Lin Wanzhi."

Wei Qingyan curled his eyes, "Didn't you say it yourself, Senior, to tell us everything you know?"

"You'd better keep your word," the mad doctor warned.

Wei Qingyan had a gentle expression, looked very well-behaved and polite, and looked like a gentleman.

The mad doctor's initial suspicions faded somewhat, and he replied, "I wasn't involved in the palace coup back then. I only know that it was staged and directed by Lin Wanzhi."

"But from what I know, Xiao Pei's uprising is real. How can she get Xiao Pei to cooperate with her? And how can she hide this from Emperor Feng Zhao?"

The mad doctor sneered, "This is the despicable side of Lin Wanzhi. She told Xiao Pei that as long as Xiao Pei succeeds, she will be his queen.

If Xiao Pei was defeated, she would take the opportunity to kill him, and then follow him away from the imperial city, hiding their identities and living together.

A man who has been cursed by love has only love in his heart and no brains, so he will do whatever Lin Wanzhi says.

She then subtly revealed to Emperor Feng Zhao the fact that Xiao Pei was planning a rebellion.

Emperor Feng Zhao and Lin Qianning had been together for several lifetimes. She had taken away Lin Qianning's fate, and Emperor Feng Zhao's feelings for Lin Qianning had also shifted to her. Even the wisest man can be easily blinded by the person next to him.

"Why is Lin Wanzhi going through all this trouble? Why doesn't she just support Xiao Pei to take that position?"

Shi Yu asked.

They had previously guessed many of the questions, and now they were asking them just to find the mad doctor to confirm them.

The mad doctor gave Shi Yu a meaningful look and said, "Because of fate, some destinies can be changed, while others cannot be shaken no matter what.

For example, Emperor Feng Zhao was born with the destiny of an emperor, and Xiao Pei could not take it away from him.

The experiences of her previous two lives made Lin Wanzhi very clear about this, so when she could not have both power and Xiao Pei, she chose power.

This is the reason why I look down on her. She wants it all. After she gained power, she wanted Xiao Pei again.

But Emperor Feng Zhao could be fooled by her temporarily, but not forever, so she planned the palace coup."

Shi Yu's eyes darkened. "Her real purpose in the coup was to use Xiao Pei to get rid of Emperor Feng Zhao and then imprison him in secret."

"That's right, but she is vicious and greedy by nature, so she underestimates the goodness of human nature. Although Xiao Pei was under the spell of love, she never thought of killing Emperor Feng Zhao.

There was also Lin Qianning, who was living in extreme misery because of her life-snatching fate, but she also chose to save Emperor Feng Zhao at the critical moment of her life.

"It's really like this." Shi Yu murmured, with a soreness in his eyes.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions and asked, "What is the fate that cannot be changed?"

He did not miss the look in the mad doctor's eyes just now. The unchangeable fate must be related to him.

The mad doctor was stunned, and after a moment a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

No wonder Lin Wanzhi was jealous of Lin Qianning's son's excellence. Shi Yu was indeed a smart one.

“For example, you were destined to be the Crown Prince Feng Zhao. No matter your origins, the position of Crown Prince can only be yours.

For example, Xiao Zhian could not escape the fate of dying at your hands."

Shi Yu's heart trembled, but his expression was calm, "Maybe he died at my hands in the previous two lives, but in this life, what reason do I have to kill Zhi'an?

And as far as I know, the 'me' in my previous life was not the real me, but the me that was possessed by Shi Dehou. So, in that case, it was Shi Dehou who was killed."

His heart sank.

It matched Zhian's dream.

He finally understood why Lin Wanzhi repeatedly asked Zhi'an to maintain a good relationship with him. It must be the ending of Zhi'an in the previous two lives that made her change her strategy.

In this life, she raised him to be simple and kind, and devoted herself to him as her brother, in order to change their brotherly relationship and thus change Zhi'an's fate.

But can Zhian's fate be changed?

Shi Yu was unsure.

"In the previous life, it was indeed Shi Dehou who possessed your body, but in the life before that, it was you who killed him. Moreover, in the previous life, it was Shi Dehou who killed him, but the body was yours."

The mad doctor said coldly, "Lin Wanzhi went back in time under the pretext of saving her son, but it was only for her own selfish desires.

Parents sow the seeds, and their children and grandchildren reap the fruits. When Lin Wanzhi decided to imprison Xiao Pei and gave birth to Xiao Zhian, he was destined to be a tragedy.

This is a fate that cannot be changed, unless... there is great luck, but what kind of luck, I don't know."

Shi Yu thought heavily, putting aside metaphysics, if Zhian's life experience was exposed, he would have no way to survive.

"Lin Wanzhi already knew what consequences her perverse actions would bring to Zhi'an, right?"

The Mad Doctor hummed, "Naturally, that's why I say he's a tragedy."

Wei Qingyan shook Shi Yu's hand and brought the topic back to the Queen. "Then what was the price for Lin Wanzhi to go back in time?"

"I told you, this is my private matter, I won't tell you. You just need to know that she only has this life to live."

The mad doctor frowned, looking unhappy. "Okay, I've answered all the questions I need to answer. Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

"I want to know." Wei Qingyan sat down in front of the mad doctor.

"You cheated me?" The mad doctor was furious. "Little girl, don't be ungrateful."

"Not really."

Wei Qingyan said calmly, "I didn't promise you anything. There is one more thing I want to correct you on. You and I are not without grudges.

You knew that Lin Qianning was my husband's biological mother, and you helped Lin Wanzhi harm her. Naturally, we have to settle this account.

You said that you used magic to add years to Meng'er's lifespan, and then suffered divine punishment, and Master's mother was also punished. This shows that although you spirits have magic, if you use it recklessly to harm others in the mortal world, you will suffer backlash and divine punishment.

When you were Wang Ming, you fell asleep many times, which is proof of that, but after you took over Cha Yao's body, you were fine."

As the Minister of Rites, Cha Yao's position was different from Wang Mingzhi's previous idle position. If he fell into a coma or something else happened, his official position would certainly be in jeopardy. However, he was still the Minister now.

So Wei Qingyan speculated that the mad doctor escaped heaven's punishment after possessing Cha Yao. So, how did he escape it?

Wei Qingyan thought of the trace of purple energy that the fat monk had extracted from his father's body.

She spoke slowly and clearly, "Because you stole the Emperor Feng Zhao's purple energy and used it to conceal your crimes and avoid heaven's punishment.

If I'm not mistaken, this might be the reason why Lin Wanzhi could easily kill Emperor Feng Zhao, my husband's father.

The hatred between our parents is irreconcilable. How can there be no hatred between you and us?

And those people whose souls you took from the Lin family's ancestral land were so innocent. You aided and abetted the evil, helping Lin Wanzhi to be reborn and causing her to harm countless people. These are the lives you must bear."

"So what do you do?"

There was murderous intent in the mad doctor's eyes.

He didn't expect that Wei Qingyan and the others even knew Shi Yu's true life experience, and he didn't expect that she was so meticulous and could guess the truth so quickly.

That's right, it was indeed because of his help to Lin Wanzhi that Emperor Feng Zhao died. The benefit he gained from this incident was that he could use the purple energy to cover the Heavenly Eye.

He and Meng'er have been together for their entire lives, although Meng'er's affair has now been discovered by the Marquis's Mansion and her life is about to end.

But they have lived in peace for decades. Death is rebirth, and they should have ended this life and waited for the next one.

Therefore, he did not want to be targeted by Wei Qingyan to avoid further trouble, so he wanted to use soft tactics to try to get away with it. But since Wei Qingyan had noticed it, he was not afraid.

"Answer my question just now."

Wei Qingyan insisted.

She had a hunch that this question was important.

But the mad doctor refused flatly, "I won't tell you. The soul-binding talisman can only trap me in Cha Yao's body temporarily.

And this does not affect my teaching you, a girl who doesn’t know how to live or die…”

After saying that, he moved his fingers and was about to do something to Wei Qingyan, but he saw Shi Yu pinching Sun's neck and blocking Wei Qingyan.

Wei Qingyan poked his head out from behind Shi Yu and looked at the mad doctor. "Answer me, or I will make Sun's soul scatter and there will be no reincarnation, and you will never see her again."

"You wouldn't dare."

The mad doctor was not so easily threatened. "Meng'er's crime is not worthy of having her soul destroyed. As the extraditionist, if you act rashly, you will only suffer double the backlash."

His eyes fell on Wei Qingyan's belly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're pregnant. You can't withstand this backlash."

Shi Yu increased the strength of his hands, "Then you can try it."

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Cha Yao hesitated.

But he soon realized that Shi Yu was willing to sacrifice his soul fire for Wei Qingyan, which showed how much he cared about Wei Qingyan and he absolutely did not want to see Wei Qingyan suffer heavenly punishment.

He calmed down and sneered, "Then let's try it."

But before he could move, he heard Wei Qingyan shouting, "Sister and brother-in-law, this demon has brought disaster to the world and harmed countless people. Please subdue the demon, take away its magic, and benefit the people."

No movement?!

Wei Qingyan shouted again, "Brother-in-law, your little third child is pregnant and is about to be bullied to death by the demons. Please help!"
