Chapter 134 A Big Secret in My Heart
On the other side, Madam Wei returned to the General Protector's Mansion in a state of uneasiness.
Wei Wanyi came over quickly, her tone still not very enthusiastic, "Why did the emperor summon you to the palace? You don't look very well, are you feeling unwell?"
If it were yesterday, Madam Wei would not care about her tone, and would even be relieved that Wei Wanyi cared about her after all.
But at this moment, she threw the tea at Wei Wanyi's feet before she could drink it.
He angrily said, "I am your mother. Now, you won't even call me mother? I have explained to you many times that he and I have not crossed the line. Why don't you believe it and tell this to outsiders?
You just hope that I'm not okay, but if I'm not okay, what good can you expect?"
Wei Wanyi was not prepared for her sudden anger and was instinctively frightened for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.
In her opinion, spiritual betrayal is as unforgivable as physical betrayal.
The reason she was so angry was that she must have suffered some injustice in the palace.
He also mentioned King Jing. Could it be that their affairs were discovered by the palace and they were reprimanded?
Her eyes fell on the bright yellow imperial edict on the table. She took two steps forward, opened it, and read the contents clearly.
She was puzzled. "Isn't it a great honor for the Wei family to move my brother to the imperial mausoleum? Why are you unhappy?"
Still want to vent your anger on her?
Suddenly, his previous guess came to mind. His brother was actually a royal prince. He asked tentatively, "You don't like your brother to be buried in the imperial mausoleum?"
It would be a joke to use the excuse of missing her son and wanting to see him anytime to fool Wei Wanyi. No one knows her attitude towards Wei Qingyan better than Wei Wanyi.
Madam Wei simply kept silent.
Wei Wanyi didn't intend to give up, "I didn't understand why you didn't like your brother before, and after becoming a mother, I was puzzled too, how could a mother hate her own son.
What's the hidden story here?"
Wei Wanyi waited for a while, and seeing that Madam Wei still didn't speak, she said, "Since you don't want to talk, I won't ask. After all, I'm no longer a member of the Wei family, so I can't control the Wei family's affairs.
In two days, I will take the children away. You will take care of yourself in the capital from now on."
"Are you going to leave me and go back?" Madam Wei finally spoke.
"A married woman should obey her husband. My home is in Prince Jing's Mansion, so naturally I have to go back. Besides, you and I are in this state now, so why should I stay?"
Wei Wanyi spoke indifferently, as if she really didn't care about these things.
Madam Wei was a little panicked. The relocation of the tomb was a foregone conclusion, and the contents of the coffin could not be concealed. It all depended on whether Prince Rong would betray her.
If Prince Rong betrays her, and the emperor discovers that the person in the coffin is not Wei Qingyan, he will definitely punish her. At that time, only Wanyi and the others will be able to help her.
She took a deep breath and softened her tone as she told the story of how she had nailed the coffin for Wei Qingyan.
"The dead are the greatest. He's your son. How could you do this?" Wei Wanyi was furious. "You make me feel strange. My brother must not be your child."
Madam Wei didn't respond to her words, but only said, "Mother has her own difficulties."
Now Wanyi has separated from her, and Wei Qingyan is a woman's matter, so she dare not tell her, for fear that she will reveal it to others and bring disaster to the Wei family.
"It's hardship again. How many hardships do you have?"
Wei Wanyi sat down next to her, turned to face her, and said earnestly, "This matter could be big or small. Tell me what your difficulties are, and then I can help you."
Madam Wei moved her mouth, but finally uttered only one sentence, "I can't say."
Telling it would involve that person, and she couldn't and didn't want to.
Seeing this, Wei Wanyi stood up suddenly and said, "I am meddling in other people's business."
The attempt failed again, and she was a little discouraged, but she was sure that her mother must be hiding a big secret in her heart.
This secret might bring ruin to the Wei family.
For the sake of her two children, she had to move out of the Wei Mansion in time and reveal this matter to her eldest sister so that her eldest sister and the others would not be unaware and be implicated innocently.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.
Before I reached the courtyard, I heard the servant come to report that Wei Shiran had arrived.
"Hurry, follow me to meet the eldest sister." Wei Wanyi instructed the maid behind her.
Wei Shiran came with Yan Lan. Wei Wanyi welcomed them directly to her courtyard and asked directly, "Big sister, is there something you need?"
"The emperor has ordered the Imperial Observatory to calculate an auspicious day to move my brother into the imperial mausoleum five days later. I came to see if there is anything I can help with." Wei Shiran replied.
Wei Wanyi was surprised. Her mother had just returned home with the imperial edict, and her eldest sister and the others already knew about it? They even knew the date?
She asked the question in her mind.
Wei Shiran said, "It's spread all over the place, doesn't Wanyi know?"
"I just saw the imperial edict." Wei Wanyi's face turned pale. The fact that it could spread so quickly must be a signal from the emperor. The emperor did this because he had noticed something.
Thinking of this possibility, she immediately told Wei Shiran what Madam Wei had just said, "Sister, I feel uneasy and always feel that she might have caused trouble.
The Wei family's current status is the result of the blood and lives of my father and brothers. I have had no contact with my grandmother, so please tell her about what's happening here so she can be on guard and not be implicated by my mother."
Although she had heard about the coffin nailing incident from Wei Qingyan before coming, when she heard Wei Wanyi talk about it again, Wei Shiran was still so angry that she slapped the table hard and was speechless for a long time.
Yan Lan was also angry, but she thought that they came here with a mission.
He also said frankly to Wei Wanyi, "Prince Jing has ulterior motives, and His Majesty has noticed it. We must avoid implicating you and your two children.
We have come today to persuade you to go to the palace and ask His Majesty for a divorce."
"Prince Jing...how do you know?" Wei Wanyi was already frightened, and her legs went weak after hearing this.
For some reason, she had no suspicion that King Jing was being wronged. Perhaps after being married for so many years, she had already sensed it in her heart.
Wei Shiran supported her. "There are some things that the less you know, the better. After all, we won't harm you. If you are willing to live and die with King Jing, I won't stop you. It's just that your two children..."
"No, nothing must happen to the children." Wei Wanyi shook her head repeatedly.
Not to mention that the affection between her and King Jing had long since worn away in the past two years, even if she still had affection for him, she would never take the child into danger with him.
What's more.
"I am the daughter of the Wei family. How can a daughter of the Wei family take the path of treason? No way."
She grabbed Wei Shiran's hand, her knees softened, "Sister, please accompany me into the palace, okay? I'm scared."
Wei Shiran nodded.
Qingyan had asked her to come, and this was what he had instructed her to do.
I used to worry that Wei Wanyi couldn't tell right from wrong, but now looking at this delicate sister, I realize that she has a clear mind and is always thinking about her child.
She felt more sincere towards Wei Wanyi and lifted her up, "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."
Madam Wei only knew that Wei Shiran had come and taken Wei Wanyi away. She didn't know what the two sisters had said. At this moment, she didn't care what they said.
Because she also heard about the relocation of the grave in five days, she paced around the room anxiously, then wrote a letter and called the guard in.
Finally, he drove the guards away and burned the letter.
This matter was reported to the emperor and Wei Qingyan by the secret guards. They both ordered, "Keep watching."
Afterwards, the emperor summoned Wei Wanyi and her sister.
The reason Wei Wanyi used for the divorce was the relationship between Madam Wei and Prince Jing, and the fact that Prince Jing sent someone to assassinate her.
It was not easy for a prince to divorce, and the emperor was not in a hurry to give an answer. He said he needed to understand the matter clearly and asked her to go back and wait for news.
After calming down, Wei Wanyi realized that the real purpose of her trip to the palace had been achieved.
Even if Prince Jing does not agree to the divorce, after what happened today, the emperor knows that their relationship has broken down. If something happens in the future, the emperor will deal with the three of them as appropriate.
After returning, she ordered people to find another house and moved out of the Wei Mansion the next day.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Princess Yu's execution.
Lingchi, also known as cutting into pieces, is an extremely cruel form of execution.
But the execution ground was surrounded by people, and some were even urging the execution to proceed faster.
Wei Qingyan arrived at the scene early.
She wanted to dispel the resentment of the death row prisoners in time and see if she could find more useful clues.
Shi Yu also sent a lot of people to scatter among the onlookers.
After watching the clear spring for a few days, no one went there, and the Dali Temple did not find any missing persons.
The two speculated that the person who needed to replenish his body with a similar substance might not have enough time to purify the newly captured people and would directly kidnap Princess Yu and Liu Huan.
After all, these two people have used the same method, and perhaps their bodies have a purifying effect on that person.
Sure enough, before noon, the crowd erupted in commotion, with someone shouting, "Princess Yu and the others are the worst evildoers. Lingchi is too easy for them. They should be punished with a more severe law.
Make countless cuts on their bodies, smear honey on the wounds, and let the insects and ants gnaw them clean bit by bit.
I have honey and a knife here. If you agree, come with me and avenge those poor people who were killed by them..."
