Chapter 44 She Can Marry Prince Rong

Du Xueyi walked out from the darkness, looking at the direction Shi Yu left, and then looking at Wei Qingyan's room.

His brows were furrowed.

"What are you doing there? Come in." Wei Qingyan's voice came from inside the house.

The man has already walked out.

Du Xueyi sat down opposite her and said, "Boss, shall I find two guards for you?"

The general doesn't like crowds of people. There are only a few maids sweeping the yard now, and they didn't even notice someone coming.

Wei Qingyan glanced at him and said, "No need, my people will be here in a few days."

A-gu went to deal with the treasure of Magnolia Mountain and would come to Beijing to find her soon.

Hearing that she had someone, Du Xueyi did not insist and asked hesitantly, "Boss, you and Prince Rong... do you need to get close to him?"

When he saw that the general was actually carried back by Prince Rong, his first reaction was that the general was injured. However, when he saw Prince Rong's gentle expression and slow steps, he steadied himself and did not show up.

Then he thought of the time when the general asked him to get Prince Rong drunk, and he came up with this guess.

In his mind, the general was like an iron man. How could he be so weak that he needed someone to carry him on his back, unless he had a purpose.

Is the purpose the same as that time when he absorbed the essence of King Rong?

Wei Qingyan didn't hide it from him on purpose, but since he didn't ask, she didn't say it on purpose.

He took the initiative to ask about it today, probably because he was really curious. He had prepared many plans in his mind, so Wei Qingyan told him about the Merit Seal.

Du Xueyi blinked after hearing this, "So this is how Prince Rong got better, then doesn't your life depend on him?"

Wei Qingyan picked up the kettle and poured a cup of tea. He took a sip and said calmly, "I guess so."

Du Xueyi found the gentle gesture of drinking water a bit strange, but he didn't care about it. He was filled with anxiety, "Is it really impossible to get it back?"

Wei Qingyan played with the teacup in silence.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, "This won't do, Boss, you have to think of another way.

Prince Rong won't be with you all the time. If one day you lose your vitality and can't find him, it would be too dangerous..."

After saying this, he paused, "But if I take it back, will Prince Rong become his half-dead self again?"

Wei Qingyan paused while playing with the teacup.

Yes.

Without the Seal of Merit, Shi Yu will return to his previous sickly appearance.

Du Xueyi understood what she meant when he saw her like this, and scratched his head anxiously, "Boss, I know you value friendship and loyalty, and you definitely can't bear to see him return to that state, but you have to take it back.

I finally survived, I can't lose my life again.

But Prince Rong is not a wine gourd pendant, lifeless, he just took a few sips from the cork. He is a prince of the current dynasty, and he may have to return to his fiefdom in the future. The general can't follow him to his fiefdom..."

"Pah." He suddenly slapped his forehead, his eyes brightening. "Got it, General, you can marry him?"

"Cough cough cough..." Wei Qingyan was taking a sip of tea and was choked by his words and started coughing repeatedly.

Du Xueyi hurried forward to pat her on the back. Just as a big slap was about to land on Wei Qingyan's back, he remembered that the general was now a woman, so he quickly retracted his strength.

Continuing to analyze his thoughts, "Boss, you are a woman now. I am the legitimate daughter of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion. It is not impossible for you to become the Princess of Rong.

The two of you now share one life. If the Merit Seal cannot be retrieved, it will be easier for you to recover as husband and wife. I'm sorry, General."

A grown man not only becomes a woman, but also marries a man who has been thinking about him for a long time.

The scene of the general being pinned down by Prince Rong appeared in Du Xueyi's mind at an inopportune time. The general in the picture was the handsome Wei Qingyan with his sculpted features and long eyebrows.

Two men...

He couldn't help but shudder.

Then he became worried again. Prince Rong likes men, and the general is now a woman, so he may not be willing to marry him.

We have to think of a way to make this marriage happen.

Du Xueyi's words made Wei Qingyan's heart suddenly tremble inexplicably. A strange feeling passed through her heart, making her a little irritated.

He hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. You only need to know about the Merit Seal. I will find another way. What you need to do now is to force the emperor to investigate the Huangshaling incident."

Speaking of business, Du Xueyi quickly cleared his mind of all thoughts on how to bring the two together and said seriously, "Tomorrow morning, I will contact the ministers who were close to the General Protector's Office in the past and submit a joint memorial."

Wei Qingyan said solemnly, "That's not necessary. Just do your thing."

Everyone in the capital knew that Du Xueyi was the General Protector of the Nation's men. He knew that there were problems with the battle of Huangshaling. It was only natural for him to demand a thorough investigation of the matter out of friendship with his former comrades.

The lack of response arouses suspicion.

As for the rest, it depends on whether they are willing. Wei Qingyan can also take this opportunity to see some people and things clearly.

"Okay, I'll listen to the boss." Du Xueyi nodded.

Wei Qingyan sighed, "Xueyi, if there are things you are curious about or don't understand, you can ask."

Du Xueyi didn't even think about it. "The general won't be wrong. I'll just do as he says. I know the general won't harm me. The rest doesn't matter."

He has been doing this since the first day he joined the National Protection Army. Unconditional obedience is the first rule of the National Protection Army. Despite such seemingly harsh conditions, the soldiers have no complaints.

Because no matter they are old generals or generals, they will never disregard the lives of their soldiers. They truly love their soldiers like their own sons.

Even though the general had been dead for three years, the families of his brothers who had died in battle before could still receive a pension every year. This was arranged in the second year after the general took over the National Protection Army.

After learning what Guan had done, he was even more grateful that he had met the general, otherwise he might have become the second Marquis Anyuan who was bedridden.

Wei Qingyan also knew that habits formed over ten years could not be changed overnight, so after telling him some more about the Gong family, he let him go back.

The next morning, Wei Qingyan learned about the situation at the morning court session.

Shi Yu, who had not entered the court for more than two years, also went to the morning court early this morning with the same purpose as Du Xueyi.

What surprised Wei Qingyan was that Gong Mingcheng did not ask for leave today, but visited the Wu family as he promised his elder sister.

It was pointed out that even if Wu Yuchu was dead, his wife and children should be imprisoned and investigated as suspects.

However, some officials believed that it would be difficult to convict the Wu family based solely on Luo Chengzhou's blood letter.

The emperor then ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate the matter. If the facts were indeed as stated in the blood letter, the Wu family would be arrested and imprisoned.

Such a case should have been handed over to the Dali Temple, but the emperor handed it over to the Ministry of Justice.

Wei Qingyan knew that the emperor was unwilling to investigate further because the Minister of Justice was a member of the Xie family.

The Xie family, the Empress Dowager's family, are the emperor's people.

If we investigate in depth, the matter of Su Fu, the remnant of the previous dynasty, and Qi County Magistrate, the Beiling spy, will not be concealed. But is the emperor really just doing it to save face?

A hint of sneer appeared on Wei Qingyan's lips. There are some things that can be refrained from being done just because the emperor doesn't want to.

She ordered, "Xueyi, secretly contact the families of the brothers who died in the National Protection Army..."

"My Lord." Ah Lu hurried over and interrupted Wei Qingyan. "Mrs. Gong has brought the families of the National Protection Army soldiers who died in the Huangshaling battle to the Wu family to demand justice."

Du Xueyi looked at Wei Qingyan, opened his mouth, and finally said, "Mrs. Gong seems to be really good to you, but why didn't you see it before?"

She had such a bad headache yesterday that she banged her head against the wall, and there was a ghost issue at home that needed to be dealt with urgently, but she could still think of the general.

Wei Qingyan lowered her eyes slightly. She also wanted to know how good her elder sister was, so why had she not shown it before?

So, when the Gong brothers showed up at the Anyuan Marquis's residence, she asked, "Mrs. Gong isn't well yet, why would she go to the Wu family?"
