Shi Shuling actually didn't intend to kill Shi Wuqing right now.
The reason they chose to help Qi Luan was because even after the emperor's power was destroyed, they still had the means to control Qi Luan - Shi Wuqing.
Shi Shuling knew long ago, when she first met Lian Yi, that Lian Yi had poisoned Shi Wuqing. She was curious about what the poison was and why it worked on Shi Wuqing, and even the imperial physician couldn't figure it out.
Later, she asked Lian Yi, and Lian Yi told her the truth. She did not buy the poison from anywhere, but got it from an old man by chance. Through Lian Yi's description, Shi Shuling recognized that the old man was a person who had defected from the Valley of Divine Doctors and was famous for making poisons.
To be honest, even Shi Shuling couldn't cure this poison, so Shi Wuqing's death was inevitable.
So now Shi Shuling is not so anxious to kill his enemies.
However, Xiao Chi sent people to capture Shi Wuqing without her knowledge!
Shi Shuling understood Xiao Chi's desire for her revenge and was indeed very touched, but at the same time she also knew that this action was equivalent to directly offending Qi Luan.
Regardless of whether Shi Wuqing is dead or alive, Qi Luan will never let them go.
So, she simply did as Xiao Chi said - kill Shi Wuqing and make herself happy first.
As for how to explain it later?
Haha, for someone like Qi Luan who is completely obsessed with beauty, if she said that Qi Luan would commit suicide before releasing Shi Wuqing, would Qi Luan not do it?
Shi Shuling saw clearly that Qi Luan was really in love with Shi Wuqing. Even if he couldn't see her, he couldn't ignore this threat.
Shi Shuling thought coldly, since the new emperor would be a hindrance, he might as well be killed!
By then, she will support a young prince to ascend the throne, and she and the Xiao family will be the real ones in power!
While calculating these things in his mind, Shi Shuling did not slow down his pace and soon arrived at where Shi Yu and the Shangshu's wife were.
She hadn't seen her mother and brother for a long time, and she couldn't help feeling excited at the moment.
"Mom, brother."
When the Shangshu's wife heard the voice, she turned around and saw the face she had been thinking about all day long. Her eyes immediately turned red: "Lingling? Is it my mother's Lingling?"
"Mom!" Shi Shuling threw herself into her mother's arms. Even though her temperament had changed a lot and her heart was much stronger, in front of her mother, she was still that child.
"Sister!" Shi Yu was also very happy!
If he still had some doubts when he heard Shi Wuqing's words before, then now, seeing his sister safe and sound, he really had no doubts at all!
Qingqing...she really gave a lot.
"Brother!" Shi Shuling raised his head from the Shangshu Madam's embrace and smiled forcefully, "Long time no see!"
[The perspective has changed, but far from being relieved, I've given up hope, haha]
The long-awaited scene of Ling Ling meeting her family appeared, but instead of being happy, I felt depressed. Haha.
[Hehe, hehe, hehe]
Did you hear that? Qingqing was already beyond saving. It turns out Lian Yi really did succeed in poisoning her. There was no scene where Shi Wuqing drank the poison. Later, Lian Yi and Qi Luan framed Qingqing. I thought the poison didn't work and Lian Yi was thinking of other solutions... But... Damn, I cried my heart out.
[… Hahahaha! Qingqing is definitely going to die!! Hahahaha!!]
[Death is fine (wipes tears) but I have to be tortured before death (collapse)]
[That damn Xiaoyi, what exactly does he want to do to Qingqing? I'm so anxious! Now that Shi Shuling has come to see Shi Yu, are you mute?! Hurry up and tell the truth, and make Lingling stop! ! !]
[Stop? Even if you stop, it's too late...]
Shi Yu had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, such as where his sister had been for so long, and who were the people around her, but now, none of those were as important as another point.
"Sister, do you know about Qingqing?" he asked anxiously.
Shi Shuling was startled for a moment, then his tone turned colder: "Brother, Shi Wuqing is not dead. She is the current Princess Qi. She deceived her superiors and subordinates and married him in my place!"
Shi Shuling originally thought that her brother would be very surprised and angry after she finished speaking, because her mother had guessed the truth and would not tell her brother. However, she was confused to find that after hearing her words, her mother sneered, while her brother breathed a sigh of relief and nodded thoughtfully:
"You know, that's good."
“?” Shi Shuling.
What's good?
What's good?
Shi Wuqing will marry in her place, okay???
"Qingqing has really sacrificed too much, but fortunately, I can see these days that Prince Qi really likes her." Shi Yu said with some relief: "After today is over and Prince Qi wins, our family will be reunited, and she will be able to relax in the future."
"???" Shi Shuling: "What do you mean?"
How come she doesn't understand at all?
"Sacrifice? Shi Wuqing?" When Shi Wuqing was mentioned, the Shangshu's wife's face turned ugly. She had not forgotten the humiliation she had suffered at Shi Wuqing's hands. "Xiao Yu, what are you talking about?"
Shi Yu laughed heartily: "Mom, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. It was Qingqing who didn't let me tell you because she was afraid that you would have a psychological burden. But now everything is over, I can tell you."
As he spoke, the man looked at Shi Shuling and said, "Sister, you should know more. Please talk to mother."
“……?” Shi Shuling.
She was stunned for a long time before she reacted, her eyes darkening: "Brother, I don't know what you are talking about. Did Shi Wuqing lie to you?"
"Ah?" Shi Yu was also confused: "You don't know? But don't you know that Qingqing married in your place?"
Shi Shuling stood up from the arms of the Shangshu's wife and realized that there was something she didn't know. Her brother actually called her "Qingqing" so intimately and said "we are one family". When did his relationship with Shi Wuqing become so good?
"No matter what she said, she was lying to you. Brother, I haven't been home for so long, it's all her fault." Shi Shuling said word by word.
Shi Yu was stunned.
Shi Shuling pulled her lip sarcastically. She didn't want to tell her miserable experience. She just looked at Shi Yu and said, "Brother, tell me, what did she say to you?" She deceived you like this?
"Okay..." Shi Yu said in a complicated tone, "That day, after returning from the palace banquet, she was assassinated..."
Shi Yu told everything in detail, and Shi Shuling listened indifferently. Later, she even laughed at him!
