Wei Qingyan disguised herself as a man since childhood, defended the empire, and expanded its territory, but died on her triumphant return. Revived from death, she became a soul guide, resolving gr...
Chapter 60 She is different from ordinary people
Wei Qingyan's words were tantamount to admitting his identity.
The tears in Wei Shiran's eyes fell, "Now only my grandmother and I know."
"Grandma knew it from the beginning, right?" Wei Qingyan seemed to understand something.
Wei Shiran nodded. "Although grandma has never looked down on us granddaughters, how could she really not be looking forward to having a grandson? Second Mother gave birth to a son, so grandma naturally has to pay attention to him."
"I didn't expect that the so-called grandson was actually a girl." Wei Qingyan continued, "But my mother thought she had kept it a secret from everyone and didn't allow you to get close to me.
The four sisters have grown up and become sensible. Living under the same roof, no matter how careful their mother is, there will be times when they come into contact with each other.
Grandmother knew that this was the last resort for my father, so she pretended to be at odds with my mother and took my three sisters back to our hometown, right?
"Yes, but not entirely." Wei Shiran was pulled up by Wei Qingyan and sat opposite her. She held Wei Qingyan's hand.
"Grandmother always felt that Father's allowing you to pass as his son created a hidden danger for the Wei family. Since the late Emperor tacitly allowed you to inherit your father's business by disguising yourself as a man, why couldn't he simply allow you to serve the court as a woman?
As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman. Although there was no precedent of women serving as generals in the previous dynasty, the establishment of the Wei Dynasty was a good time to establish new rules.
Once you disguise yourself as a woman and enter the court, you will be deceiving the world. In the future, when the world is peaceful and there is no need for military generals to stabilize the country, she is worried that your identity will become a handle for the royal family to control the Wei family.
She returned to her hometown to find a way out for the Wei family, but we didn't expect that you would get into trouble on your way back. I'm sorry...it's all my fault."
"You are not to blame for this." Wei Qingyan stood up and walked to the window. "Father really understands me. I really have no interest in standing in the court."
She turned to look at Wei Qingyan, "But, even if I, Wei Qingyan, don't want this power, I will take off my armor openly and honestly, instead of escaping by death.
Therefore, even if you really sent my father's secret guards to assassinate me, I would not cooperate with you. My father loves his soldiers and doesn't trust others. He handed them over to me, so I must properly take care of them before leaving."
"Brother..." Wei Shiran covered her face.
She knew that Wei Qingyan might really think so, but there must be an element of comforting her in it.
"Big sister, are you being nice to me out of guilt?" Wei Qingyan turned around again, his hands behind his back, looking out the window. "We didn't have any previous contact. Even if we were related by blood, you wouldn't do so much for me."
"Less than a year after my mother died, my second daughter married into our family. I didn't like her, and she didn't like us, the older daughters.
As a result, I have also become distant from you and Wanyi, but after all, you are my brother and sister-in-law, and you have the blood of the Wei family flowing in your bodies. How could I really not like you?
But after I knew you were a woman, I became really curious about you.
What kind of girl can be as outstanding as a man? I started to ask about you. When I learned the price you paid for your excellence, I felt a little pity for you.
When your father passed away, you were only fifteen years old, but you took on the responsibility of the entire Wei Mansion. I admire you.
The more attention I pay to you, the more I admire you, the more I feel pity for you. Perhaps it's because we're related by blood. In my heart, even though we rarely meet, our feelings for you are already deep."
It is so.
Wei Qingyan lowered his eyes slightly, "Does Prince Rong know my identity?"
"I don't know." Wei Shiran also stood up and walked to Wei Qingyan, "I approached him, both to express my gratitude to him and to see if he knew anything.
My father told me that you had a secret guard who looked like you, and that it was Second Mother who nailed your coffin. Over the years, Prince Rong never revealed that you were a woman, so I think he probably didn't know."
Wei Qingyan's eyes gradually became darker.
Father knows Abu!
Her father wanted her to escape immediately after the great victory, but her eldest sister was only a few days late and she encountered the Battle of Huangshaling. Was it a coincidence, or did her father know something before he died?
"Brother, how did you escape death?" Wei Shiran's words rang out again, "After you got into trouble, I sent out all the secret guards left by my father.
They searched the battlefield and even dug up the corpse pits. When I heard that they didn't find you, I was still hoping for a good outcome. But soon they sent me another letter saying that some of the bodies that were too damaged to be found in their entirety had been burned by King Rong.
They say you won't escape the battlefield alive unless you're seriously wounded and unconscious, or if you're taken away after you die."
It turned out that it wasn't that no one was looking for her, it was her eldest sister who looked for her.
Looking at Wei Shiran’s swollen eyes.
Wei Qingyan walked to the wardrobe, took out a porcelain bottle from it, poured some medicine out, and applied it on his face and behind his ears.
After a while, the skin on her face loosened, and she held her face with both hands, and a pair of extremely thin human skin masks fell into her palms.
She held the human skin mask in her palm and slowly turned to look at Wei Shiran.
When Wei Shiran saw her face clearly, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands and tears fell.
Her younger brother had a scar between his eyebrows. As the daughter of a military commander, even though she didn't know martial arts, she could tell that it was a scar left by an arrow.
How could my brother survive if an arrow hit him between the eyebrows?
No wonder after Jie Yuan fainted that day, she had no breath and no pulse, but still woke up. How could her brother have the ability to relieve ghost grudges in the past?
She walked in step by step and held Wei Qingyan's pulse.
No!
No pulse!
She reached out and placed her hand on the tip of Wei Qingyan's nose.
I can't feel any breath!
"I'm sorry, it's my fault...it's my fault..."
She squatted on the ground with weak legs, crying loudly.
The joy that I had previously guessed that Miss Chang was my younger brother was gone.
Her younger brother is different from ordinary people.
How could she still be happy?
Wei Qingyan touched the scar between his eyebrows. If the seal of merit had not been lost, the red lotus mark would have been able to cover the scar completely.
However, after she resolved the ghost grudges between the Fang and Gong families, two scars on her body were reduced. Perhaps it was because she had done good deeds alone without the fat monk's participation that this effect occurred?
If this is the case, as long as she continues to resolve the resentment, the area between her eyebrows will be smoothed out sooner or later.
She then comforted Wei Shiran, "The scar will gradually disappear. Apart from the lack of breathing and pulse, he will be no different from a normal person."
She learned how to breathe and how to control her pulse when she followed the fat monk around the world. As long as she was conscious, these became instincts.
Wei Shiran stopped crying when she heard that her appearance could be restored.
Although her younger brother used to dress like a man, he was also a beauty in the capital. He just dressed in a rough way so that people would not notice his identity as a woman.
Now that she is a woman again and no longer has the blessing of being a general, her appearance is important.
"Who harmed you?" Wei Shiran suddenly raised her face from her arms and said viciously, "Even if I divorce your brother-in-law and return to the Wei family, I will avenge this and skin the person who harmed you."
"Hasn't found out yet." Wei Qingyan looked at her like this and smiled.
At this moment, she felt her elder sister's sincerity.
Pulling the person up, "Don't worry, we will find out eventually. If the eldest sister wants to divorce her brother-in-law in order to avenge me, then my brother-in-law will chase me and beat me."
"He dares." Wei Shiran's brows tightened, "You saved the lives of the entire Gong family, so whatever the Gong family does is what they should do.
But my eldest sister is selfish. She can sacrifice her own life, but she can't sacrifice the rest of the Gong family."
"I understand." Wei Qingyan walked to the mirror and put the mask back on.
Wei Shiran's eyes reddened again as she watched her like this. She had no place to vent her heartache for her brother and hatred for her enemy. She strode out of the house and said, "I'll be back soon."
The mastermind behind this cannot be found for the time being, but she can first go to the prison to seek revenge on Mrs. Wu.
Hatred made her feet so fast that she almost collided with the person coming from the opposite direction...
