Chapter 166 The Emperor's Test
These words made Feng Ruobao, who was kneeling, move slightly in surprise.
Your Majesty likes Concubine Shu the most.
His Majesty has been in a much better mood during the days that Concubine Shu has been in the palace.
Why would you suddenly drive someone out of the palace?
But soon, he understood.
Just as he was about to interrogate Madam Wei, she was killed by someone he trusted.
King Jing has spies in the palace.
They had no idea how many spies King Jing had or where they were deployed.
If Prince Jing really wanted to take the throne, he would take action against the emperor sooner or later, and Concubine Shu, who entered the palace to protect the emperor, would be Prince Jing's number one target.
His Majesty is worried about Lan Shu's safety and does not want her to stay in the palace and take risks.
If Feng Ruobao can figure it out, how could Lan Shu not understand it?
Lan Shu looked at the emperor and said, "I said, I entered the palace to avenge my children as soon as possible, not for you.
But you are the emperor, the master of this palace. If you decide to force me to leave the palace, I can wait outside the palace gate."
Shi Jin was worried about her safety, but wasn't he in even greater danger?
How could she leave?
The emperor understood Lan Shu's personality. She could do what she said.
How could he bear to let Lan Shu stay outside the palace?
He had to give up the idea of letting Lan Shu leave the palace and ordered Feng Ruobao to take Wei Wanyi away to settle her down.
After everyone left, he said to Lan Shu, "Her children are also my nephews. I won't touch them, so you don't have to live with her."
Wei Wanyi, her mother and her two children lived in Luoyue Palace, where King Jing used to live. It was very different from his bedroom, and he was worried.
After hearing what the emperor said, Lan Shu did not force it.
After all, she helped Wei Wanyi for the sake of her daughter and General Wei.
She did not vent her anger on Wei Wanyi because of Madam Wei, which was already her limit. She was unwilling to live with the daughter of her enemy every day.
Thinking of Wei Qingyan, she reached out and held her hand. "Now you can see that everything is fine in the palace. You can go back with Prince Rong later. Don't worry about me."
Wei Qingyan nodded.
But she still had something else to say to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report."
At this moment, the emperor's gaze fell on Wei Qingyan, "Miss Chang, are you going to avenge Wei Qingyan?"
The two said in unison.
They all stopped at the same time.
Lan Shu said vaguely, "Don't worry, Qing Nian won't do anything to hurt you or the people of the world."
No matter what, the emperor is Qingyan's father.
Qingyan even protected Wei Wanyi, with whom she had little affection, and would not really attack her own biological father.
Lan Shu knows her daughter well.
She only hoped that the emperor would not hurt Qingyan because of what happened today.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then asked Wei Qingyan, "What's the matter?"
He did send people to investigate Du Xueyi's sister, but there was almost no information about her before she came to Beijing.
Everyone has a origin. If it cannot be found, it means that it is deliberately hidden or artificially erased.
This in itself is a suspicious point.
The attitudes of Lan Shu, Du Xueyi, and even the Gong family towards her, and the trick she just showed on Madam Wei.
He suspected that the girl in front of him was his daughter, Wei Qingyan, who had once wielded a sword and fought on the battlefield as well as any other man.
But his people saw Shi Yu holding her hand more than once.
Even if it was just a show for him, it wouldn't have to go to this extent. For the first time, the emperor felt a little angry that Lan Shu refused to tell him the truth.
Wei Qingyan met the emperor's inquiring eyes, took out Xiao Zhian's jade pendant from his purse, and told the story of how he had mistakenly entered Princess Yu's manor and rescued Xiao Zhian.
He also told the emperor the purpose of Xiao Zhian's visit a few days ago, picking out everything he could say.
The emperor examined the jade pendant carefully and said thoughtfully, "When Emperor Feng Zhao was the crown prince, he came to Wei. The jade pendant he wore around his waist was indeed the same as this one."
He took out a contract signed with Feng Zhao from the bookshelf and compared them. The dragon seal on the contract matched the dragon pattern on the jade pendant.
"Do you have any rules for this matter?"
Wei Qingyan didn't expect the emperor to ask her this. After a moment's thought, she said, "Looking for a needle in a haystack is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Prince Feng Zhao also understands this.
He has to find the main clues by himself, and I, Da Wei, only need to cooperate when necessary.
Moreover, Prince Feng Zhao was stolen, and Xiao Zhian was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he could only search for him secretly, so the Wei Dynasty did not need to send much manpower to help him.
According to Xiao Zhian, after receiving his letter, Empress Feng Zhao would send an envoy to the capital as soon as possible.
Although it's a secret to help Feng Zhao find someone, this is also a deal between the two countries, and some things need to be written down in black and white."
"Are you worried that the one who stole Prince Feng Zhao was from the Great Wei, and that Feng Zhao would then hold a grudge against the Great Wei?" asked the emperor.
Wei Qingyan nodded, "I can't rule out this possibility."
Therefore, no matter whether it is discovered in the future that the person who took away Prince Feng Zhao is from the Wei Dynasty or not, Feng Zhao must not vent his anger on the Wei Dynasty.
On the contrary, Feng Zhao still has to fulfill the promise he should fulfill.
Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, the emperor inexplicably thought of the past when Lan Shu knew his identity as the crown prince but still acted arrogantly in front of him.
Thinking this in his mind, he looked at Lan Shu.
Although their facial features were clearly different, he saw similarities in their faces.
look.
Their expressions are so similar.
The emperor's thoughts raced as he said to Wei Qingyan, "I'll leave it to you to help Prince Feng Zhao find Crown Prince Feng Zhao.
If Wei can successfully purchase raw iron from Feng Zhao at a low price, I will give you the gift of a princess when you marry Shi Yu."
Although it was unexpected, Wei Qingyan did not object. On the contrary, she was willing to make it happen.
No matter what the Wei royal family does, the people and soldiers of Wei are innocent.
She is willing to contribute to the national strength of Wei.
He could even take the opportunity to investigate what happened at Dajue Temple, and perhaps find Shi Yu's parents.
She bowed to the emperor and said, "I will do my best."
The emperor secretly recalled the look on Wei Qingyan's face when he received the order. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that the two looked alike. So he asked, "Has Prince Rong discussed the date of your wedding with your brother?"
Wei Qingyan was preoccupied with his own affairs and didn't think about why the emperor suddenly changed the subject. He replied, "No."
"Then I will order the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate an auspicious date for you so that you can get married soon."
He kept looking at Wei Qingyan, trying to read something from her face, but saw Wei Qingyan suddenly smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
No resistance!
The emperor looked at Lan Shu again and saw that she was also smiling foolishly.
Suddenly I felt a little discouraged.
Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan, the uncle and nephew, wouldn't pretend to get married just to hide Wei Qingyan's identity, right?
Thinking of this, he became a little unsure whether Chang Qingnian was Wei Qingyan.
He glanced at Lan Shu with resentment, then asked Wei Qingyan with a stern expression, "I just saw that your skills are quite good, how did you fall into the hands of Princess Yu?"
Seeing the smile on Lan Shu's face froze, the emperor felt a little relieved.
"I was wondering how Shi Mingxi could suddenly discover what happened at Princess Yu's farm. You were the one who orchestrated all of this, right?"
