Chapter 164 Unbelievable
Wei Qingyan clearly felt Madam Wei's body and trembled even more violently, the panic in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
She did not give Madam Wei a chance to quibble, "Shi Yu and I found a burnt piece of paper in Su Mao's study.
It says Wei Xiaofu on it.
At that time, we guessed that Wei Xiaofu was you, and Su Mao's people were monitoring you and knew something, which led to the letter.
But we just can't figure out what is there about you that is worthy of Su Mao's surveillance.
It was only when you spoke to Wanyi just now that I thought of King Jing.
Your sweetheart is the late emperor, but you were alone with your son-in-law, King Jing, in the middle of the night. Since Su Mao sent people to monitor you, he naturally knew about your relationship with King Jing.
How could an ordinary woman do such an immoral thing?
A few nights ago, you pretended to play chess with the late emperor in your room. You also said that as long as he was alive and well, it would be fine. It can be seen that you were always thinking about the late emperor in your heart.
But the late emperor has passed away for many years, how can we live well?
The concubine of the Liu family revealed that Su Mao learned that there was a person in Wei who could bring the dead back to life, and now he has gone to find that person to resurrect his son.
He must have known that the person you loved was the late emperor, and then he noticed something from your interactions with King Jing.
So, the late emperor took over the body of King Jing, right, Madam Wei?"
The suspicion just now was just a bold guess made in a flash, but Madam Wei's reaction made her sure of her guess.
The current King Jing is most likely the late emperor!
There was silence in the hall.
Feng Ruobao had already dismissed the palace maids and was personally guarding outside the imperial study.
This is unbelievable.
So much so that even the emperor hurried to Madam Wei and asked, "Is what she said true?"
Madam Wei's chin was still pinched by Wei Qingyan.
She didn't dare look at Wei Qingyan's eyes, which were clearly black and white but as sharp as knives. She tried her best to remain calm, but the flesh on her face trembled uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, do you also believe in these things?
Your Majesty is the son of the late emperor and should know the late emperor best. He is so kind, how could he do something like murdering his own son?
Although the late emperor was a true dragon emperor, he was just a mortal after all. How could he have the ability to resurrect?
If he really had that ability, why would he need to seize the body of an unpopular King Jing? Wouldn't it be better to just seize the body of the Emperor? "
"An explanation is a cover-up." Lan Shu said coldly, "Didn't he also kill my two children..."
Thinking of something, murderous intent rose in her eyes, "He is the real mastermind behind the murder of my two children, right?
He was the one who planned all this, and he was the one who asked you to instigate General Wei to treat my child as a child of the Wei family so that he could gain control of the National Defense Army, right?"
Madam Wei suddenly laughed.
She laughed like a lunatic, "Haha, if the late emperor knew his sons allowed two women to make such presumptuous assumptions about him, I'm afraid his coffin would burst open."
She looked at Wei Qingyan, "Are you going to say next that King Jing is the traitor who conspired with Su Mao?
According to your arrangement, King Jing is the late emperor. How could the late emperor be so foolish as to conspire with the remnants of the previous dynasty to seize his own kingdom?
This is exactly what Wei Qingyan couldn't understand.
She did suspect that King Jing was the one who conspired with Su Mao.
Last time in Yongzhou, they had seen his ambition, and he was also familiar with the palace, which was consistent with their speculation about the traitor.
But if King Jing is the previous emperor...
Madam Wei saw that Wei Qingyan was silent, and then looked at Lan Shu, "You said that he planned everything. He was the emperor at that time, and he had to take back the military power of the National Protection Army first. He had plenty of ways to do it.
Why would he let his grandchildren become members of the Wei family? They are his eldest grandson.
Lan Shu was also puzzled.
During the time she was in the palace, the late emperor was always gentle to her because of her contribution in donating weapons to the Sword Casting Villa.
After she became pregnant, the late emperor was no less pleased than Shi Jin, and he rewarded her with many things.
The hall returned to silence again.
Just when Madam Wei was feeling proud of herself for shutting up a few people, she heard Shi Yu coldly say, "What if the late emperor was so confident that he could capture Su Mao after accomplishing his mission?"
Shi Yu responded to the question that Madam Wei had asked Wei Qingyan earlier.
He was too shocked tonight.
So much so that the brain is in a blank state for a long time.
When she came to her senses, she thought about Wei Qingyan's speculation carefully and found it made sense.
But he knew the late emperor. Although he looked gentle, he was actually arrogant in his heart.
He started out as a boy from an ordinary family, and eventually he established the Wei Dynasty and became the ruler of a country.
Such success built his confidence.
But if the late emperor really harmed King Jing's brother, does he still want to take back the world?
Shi Yu still couldn't believe this and found it hard to accept.
He looked at the emperor who also had a look of disbelief on his face.
The emperor also looked at him.
The two brothers stared at each other for a few moments, and the emperor slowly turned his eyes away, "Because the previous emperor established the rule that the crown prince of Wei must be the eldest son of the legitimate wife.
I was ordered to marry Xie, but my heart was only with Shu'er. If Shu'er's child was the eldest son, I didn't know whether Xie could get pregnant or give birth to a prince.
Then I will most likely make Shu'er's child the crown prince, and I have expressed this thought before the late emperor."
What he didn't say was that Lan Shu's father refused to serve the court, which made the late emperor very unhappy.
No matter how prestigious the Sword Forging Villa was in the martial arts world, in the eyes of the late emperor, it was nothing more than a commoner with some money and the ability to forge weapons.
The previous emperor, who was also born into a commoner family, was extremely concerned about his origin.
He did not agree to let his grandson from Zhujian Villa become the future emperor.
"Absurd, ridiculous." Madam Wei suddenly roared, "Aren't all your inferences based on the relationship between me and King Jing?
Yes, I violated human ethics and developed feelings for King Jing during those years in Yongzhou..."
"I no longer have the patience to listen to your nonsense. Just now in this palace, no one mentioned that Su Mao was a remnant of the previous dynasty.
How would you know this if you weren't involved?"
The emperor interrupted her coldly, "Now that things have come to this, I will not spare your life.
But I will give you a chance to choose how to die. Similarly, I can also make your life worse than death.
I have already sent people to Yongzhou. Even if you don't tell me today, I will still know what I want to know."
It just takes some effort.
He looked out the door and said, "Someone come."
Feng Ruobao came in with his head lowered and bowed.
"Take him away for trial." The emperor ordered coldly.
Wei Qingyan looked at Wei Wanyi.
Her face was flushed and tears covered her entire face, as if she was trying hard to break through something.
Wei Qingyan then untied her xue.
Wei Wanyi was free. She wiped the tears from her face and grabbed Madam Wei who was being held by two eunuchs.
"He's not Shi Qian, right?"
Shi Qian was the name of King Jing.
Madam Wei lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Wei Wanyi said in an almost pleading tone, "Mother, please tell me where Shi Qian is? Is he still alive?"
"Silly Wanyi, this is their conspiracy to harm mother. Don't believe them. Prince Jing is Prince Jing."
"He is not. Shi Qian is full of talent and loves reading and writing poems. But the man he married never liked to read, let alone write any poems.
Shi Qian is gentle, well-educated, and a true gentleman. He would never meet with his mother-in-law in the middle of the night.
Mother, tell your daughter, where is Shi Qian?"
