Chapter 245 I Never Questioned You

The air was stagnant for a moment.

Wei Zhao's eyelids twitched.

These were words that Yu Tingwan could say.

The charm was gone, and he chuckled softly.

The fatigue from talking about the current layout and strategy from last night to Ying Fuyan dissipated a little.

It was common to not sleep for three days during the march. It was nothing for him.

"Wait for me."

These words were said to Yu Tingwan.

"Oh."

Wei Zhao went into the house and looked for clothes.

When he came out, he also brought a pair of clean embroidered shoes of the girl.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Wei Zhao said softly: "The hot spring floor is slippery and it is easy to get your shoes wet."

I understand, shoes should be brought too, just in case.

He took the girl's clothes into his arms.

Yu Tingwan didn't think there was anything wrong.

In addition to pretending to be weak, Wei Zhao usually did things by himself, and would also take care of Yu Tingwan's things.

The maid who came to lead the way was slightly surprised. However, she was very careful and cautious. After sending the two of them off, she prepared some food and left respectfully.

The hot pool was very large and was a living spring. After entering the door, there was mist all around, and it was not open to the sky.

Yu Tingwan bent down and touched the spring water with her hand.

It was hot. Yu Tingwan

ran to the shabby stone table again.

There were two plates of cakes on it. She picked up a piece and took a bite.

Hmm.

Not delicious.

Yu Tingwan has never been a picky person. Her mouth has been spoiled by Hui Niang and Wei Zhao these days, but she cherishes food and ate the piece in her hand expressionlessly.

The girl picked up two eggs and gently put them in a small bamboo basket beside her and boiled them in the hot spring.

When she did these things, there was always a sight following her.

Yu Tingwan raised her eyes and met Wei Zhao's gaze.

How could Yu Tingwan not understand him!

"I've cooked eggs for you. We'll each have one later."

Yu Tingwan cleared her throat: "If I have a bite to eat, you'll have one."

"I can't leave yours behind."

Wei Zhao: ...

Did he come here to eat eggs?

It's warm here.

She kicked off her shoes, took off her soft socks, and didn't feel cold even when stepping on the bluestone slabs.

Yu Tingwan's fingertips landed on the delicate buttons.

She moved quickly.

One, two...

No.

Yu Tingwan frowned and looked at Wei Zhao: "Why are you still looking at me?"

Wei Zhao didn't feel the embarrassment of being caught. He looked normal and meaningful: "I'm a man."

"I know."

Yu Tingwan frowned, not understanding why he emphasized this.

"I never doubted you."

Wei Zhao: ...

No, you're doubting it now.

Yu Tingwan didn't seem to be shy at all, and didn't think Wei Zhao was dangerous here. She took off her clothes and was left with only her undershirt and pants, and then stopped.

She was very satisfied.

But when she turned around, she saw Wei Zhao was dressed neatly, without a single wrinkle on his hem. He

didn't look like he was here for a hot spring bath!

Yu Tingwan frowned: "Why don't you take off your outer shirt? Is my husband going to go into the water like this?"

Although it was past the season to wear thick cotton clothes, the outer shirts she wore these days were not thin.

If he absorbed water, it would be difficult to move, and he would be so clumsy.

She was very considerate: "Do you need help?"

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Sure." It's just a

piece of cake.

Besides, Yu Tingwan was a good wife.

She didn't feel embarrassed at all. She

had taken off Wei Zhao's clothes many times, and she had already become very skilled at it.

The girl approached and was about to put her arms around his waist to untie his belt.

Wei Zhao: "Wait."

Yu Tingwan: ???

Wei Zhao thought of something: "I'll go out for a while."

If it weren't for his calm steps, Yu Tingwan would have suspected that Wei Zhao was going to slip away.

Wei Zhao summoned Chi Yu, who was a hundred meters away.

From the cave entrance to Ying Fuyan's side, there were many secret guards in the dark.

There were none near the room where the girl slept yesterday, and here, which shows that Ying Fuyan was quite thoughtful.

Wei Zhao's voice was not deliberately lowered, and there was nothing that Yu Tingwan couldn't hear.

Wei Zhao: "You have been away from Shangjing for some time."

Chi Yu respectfully: "General, I have already made arrangements before I came."

He was the deputy general of the Wei family army, and the general was "buried". His disappearance would arouse suspicion.

No one in Shangjing knew he left.

Wei Zhao said indifferently: "Go back early."

He handed over the note in his hand.

"Contact the account office to transfer the money. You go there in person. Let them negotiate with the confidants of Prince Ying for the rest of the matter."

Chi Yu agreed. When he opened the note and saw the amount, his face turned bad.

How could it be so much!!!

No wonder he had to make a trip.

After all, apart from the daily expenses of the Wei family army, it is not easy to transfer a large sum of cash as soon as possible.

He took a deep breath: "Yes."

Chi Yu asked: "General, do you really want Prince Yan to be an ally?" You

still have to be cautious.

Wei Zhao did not hide: "I want to help him take the throne."

Chi Yu was stunned.

Obviously, the general did not have this idea before coming.

But what the general did had his own reasons.

Wei Zhao knew that rebellion was a terrible thing. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss once you fail.

He acted cautiously and sought Ying Fuyan because Prince Yan's surname was Ying.

Prince Yan was the most beloved son of the late emperor.

But the late emperor was seriously ill and made the third prince, now Emperor Ying Qian, the crown prince.

In the past few years, he has been looking for any strange things.

Unfortunately, there is nothing.

The will is real.

It has never been changed.

But if Ying Fuyan said in front of all the officials that the will was fake. Emperor Ying Qian was ambitious and afraid that the matter would be exposed. He could not tolerate the threat of Prince Yan, so he killed him.

After some secret manipulation, sometimes it really can become a fake, right?

He originally thought that he would slowly plan other things.

Until he met Ying Fuyan.

Wei Zhao: "I saw him last night. I knew he was seriously ill from his complexion. I took his pulse not long after he sat down."

He looked up at the deserted yard.

"He will live no more than six years."

Ying Fuyan was exiled and suffered a lot in his early years, and his body was already weak.

People in Prince Yan's Mansion died one after another. Ying Fuyan was able to survive. Was it really because Emperor Ying Qian couldn't bear it that he didn't kill him?

Ying Fuyan is especially afraid of cold.

If Wei Zhao guessed correctly, his uncle chose this place for him to settle down, firstly for its seclusion and secondly for its hot springs.

There is a hot spring behind the house where Ying Fuyan lives.

His father asked him to practice martial arts in order to strengthen his body.

But...

I don't know what happened to him later.

Wei Zhao: "He was poisoned and his pulse was cut off." Even

if he found a doctor,

the root of the disease was still there.

When he was pouring tea yesterday, his hands trembled slightly.

On the surface, he looked fine, but his body and mind were completely destroyed to the critical point.

The Prince of Yan did nothing, but what happened?

The ancestors of the Wei family assisted the emperors of all dynasties, and what did they get in return?

The Wei family is full of loyal martyrs. If the emperor wants one person to die, it is as easy as pinching an ant.

When Duke Shun died, Wei Zhao saw the trick. The old officials in the court are as shrewd as people, so they didn't have any doubts?

Wei Zhao knew very early how important it is to have power in his hands.

Even if you sit in a position second only to the emperor and above everyone else, if the emperor wants you to die, you still have to die.
