Chapter 142 Heartache
Those were two purses filled with snacks and candied fruits.
Shi Yu said, "If you encounter a situation like today again, eat some snacks first."
Wei Qingyan thought that she was just an ordinary person, and she couldn't hide her happiness that Shi Yu cared about her so carefully.
It lingered at the corners of his lips.
It's just, "My one is enough, take yours off."
If people knew that the prince's purse was filled with snacks, they would laugh at him.
Shi Yu gathered the sweat-soaked strand of hair from her forehead and tucked it behind her head. He said softly, "It's okay. Who in the world would go through my pockets?"
He blamed himself for being careless. Xiao Yan had been back in Beijing for so long, but he had never discovered her worries.
She seemed calm and composed in everything, and many things seemed easy for her to handle, which made people subconsciously only remember her strength and ignore her vulnerability.
When she experienced those tragedies, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl. Shi Yu rubbed her head with heartache.
Wei Qingyan thought about Shi Yu’s words and felt that it made sense.
She just let him do it, but the smile in her eyes became even brighter.
Shi Yu pulled the man up and said, "I've asked someone to prepare hot water. Go wash up and change into dry clothes."
Feeling the coolness on his back, Wei Qingyan did not disappoint Prince Rong's kindness and obediently followed him to the bathroom.
Shi Yu personally took out a set of clothes and placed it on the screen. Wei Qingyan noticed that the clothes were brand new and similar in style to what he usually wore.
While soaking in the bathtub, Wei Qingyan was thinking about what he should do to respond to Shi Yu.
He is so good to her.
Her eyes fell on the purse given by Shi Yu, and she suddenly remembered that it was fashionable for girls in Beijing to embroider purses for the men they liked.
or……
As the thought came to her mind, she glanced at her palms which were covered with thin calluses.
Forget it, she won’t make things difficult for herself or Shi Yu.
If she really embroidered something weird, would Shi Yu wear it or not?
Outside, Shi Yu had no appetite.
He ordered people to clear away the food on the table.
Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine.
Only after revenge is taken for the 20,000 National Protection Army soldiers can Xiao Yan's psychological disorder be truly cured.
Three years ago, when Xiao Yan defeated Wudan, who suggested that the Crown Prince go to Wudan and take over the subsequent surrender? Which trusted aides did he bring with him?
He summoned Dongzang and ordered him to go and find out immediately.
Wei Qingyan came out of the bathroom. Dong Zang had already received the order to leave, and Shi Yu was staring at something.
Only when she got closer did she see clearly that Shi Yu was looking at the file about the Huangshaling incident.
These files are filed away and cannot be easily obtained by non-case handlers.
The emperor had just asked Shi Yu and Du Xueyi to investigate the Huangshaling incident today. They had been together since they left the palace for only an hour.
Then this file could have been taken by Shi Yu when she was bathing.
She turned and walked outside the house, and saw Jingzhe waiting there, and whispered a few instructions to him.
Jingzhe quickly brought in a food box. Wei Qingyan took it and opened it, "Eat something first."
Just now he was busy serving her food and hadn't eaten a single bite himself. She went to take a shower, and he was thinking about the case, so I'm afraid he hadn't eaten anything either.
There was nothing interesting in the file, so Shi Yu put it down.
He picked up the chopsticks and had not taken a few bites when the secret guards who were tracking the Liu family team came back.
There were indeed some purified people among the Liu family’s exiled team.
She was a concubine's daughter of Liu Huan.
What puzzled Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan was that Su Mao did not send many assassins to pick up Liu's concubine.
They were all killed by the secret guards of Prince Rong's mansion.
The concubine of the Liu family was also taken back to the mansion by the secret guards.
Wei Qingyan frowned, "We seem to have been misled by Princess Yu. She has always emphasized that the disease must be treated every 49 days.
In addition, Su Mao was so old, so we naturally thought that if he was not treated within 49 days, he would die.
But at the moment, although he tried to kidnap Princess Yu and sent people to pick up the concubine of the Liu family, it seems that he has not reached the end of his rope."
It's impossible that he has already purified people around him. If that were the case, why would he sacrifice so many assassins to rob the execution ground?
Besides, this person doesn't have any ordinary medicinal materials, so he can prepare as much as he wants.
Shi Yu nodded in agreement, "Perhaps the forty-nine-day treatment has a different purpose than prolonging life?"
Otherwise, how could Su Mao not value Liu's concubine's daughter?
But what is the purpose?
Su Mao had the ambition to usurp the throne since the previous dynasty, so he seduced the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, hoping to gain the support of the Xie family, but failed.
The previous dynasty was destroyed, and he was able to escape without telling the late emperor. He must have made arrangements long ago, and his ambition has never ceased over the years.
He deliberately colluded with Beiling and used Beiling's power to try to seize the Wei Dynasty, but failed again and lost his only son.
son?
The two looked at each other, their eyes brightening slightly, "Offspring?"
Yes, how could an ambitious person be willing to have no successor?
Wei Qingyan said, "I remember that Princess Yu said that her frequency of medical treatments became more frequent three years ago, and three years ago, you killed Su Fu."
His only heir is gone, and he urgently needs to have a son?
"But now we know that it was Su Mao who actually persecuted those women at Princess Yu's farm, which means he has some abilities."
Shi Yu felt a little uncomfortable discussing this topic with Wei Qingyan, a girl from the same family, but he still looked up at Wei Qingyan.
After confirming that she understood what some abilities referred to, he coughed lightly and continued, "Also, the secret guards just reported that the concubine executed by the emperor was selected to enter the palace two years ago. She was only seventeen years old this year."
In other words, seventeen years ago, Su Mao was fertile, and he was still committing adultery in the underground palace all these years. Logically, he should still be able to have children.
Wei Qingyan remembered that at Princess Yu's farm, there was a man who specialized in taking women's virginity. Liu Huan had previously admitted that it was him, but now he knew that Liu Huan was just Su Mao's lackey.
There is no doubt that Liu Huan was just a cover.
No master eats what his servants leave behind.
The one who really needs a virgin is Su Mao.
"It seems that he only wants to take away my virginity and then leave." Wang Zhi's words have been echoing in Wei Qingyan's mind.
She pondered, "Maybe it's a witch doctor's secret recipe for having children?
If that's the case, Su Mao won't be in a hurry to prolong his life, but he will definitely try to find a way to have a son."
Without Princess Yu's help in covering up the truth, and now that the Emperor has been alarmed, it would not be easy for them to build another underground palace. However, there is one place that could make things easier for them.
Shi Yu stood up and said, "I'll send a message to the pharmacy, asking them to keep an eye on the brothels in Wei."
There are many virgin women in brothels, and it is indeed difficult to attract attention if you spend money to buy a few of them.
They also asked Jing Yang and the imperial physician to check the clear spring water. There was nothing special about it, just a little cleaner than ordinary water.
If Su Maoruo dislikes the filthiness of those women, it might not be a problem to use other water.
But all this is just their guess, they need to confirm it or find out the real reason.
Wei Qingyan said, "Princess Yu and Liu Huan testified that they used witch doctors' spells to treat illnesses.
But when they robbed the execution ground that day, the men in black targeted Princess Yu, not the witch doctor. This means that someone around Su Mao, or Su Mao himself, knows witchcraft, so he will not need the witch doctor's blessing to treat illnesses in the future.
I want to go to Liu's house again tonight. He has been hiding there for many years, and this time he escaped in a hurry. Could he have left behind any clues related to witchcraft?"
