Chapter 167 Husband Pays His Wife's Debt
Over the years, Shi Mingxi has been looking for trouble with Shi Yu from time to time, and later even sent people to assassinate him.
At first, the emperor would order people to protect him secretly.
No matter how much he disliked his younger brother, he didn't want him to die at such a young age at the hands of Shi Mingxi.
But as time went on, the emperor discovered that Shi Mingxi was no match for Shi Yu at all, and even his low-level tricks had not improved at all.
Later, the emperor was too lazy to even listen to the reports from the secret guards.
Because he knew that Shi Mingxi, the crown prince appointed by the previous emperor, could not kill his sickly uncle.
Because of this, he discovered that Shi Yu was not as weak as he appeared.
This time, Shi Mingxi was able to uncover such a major case, which was already suspicious.
Knowing that it was Chang Qingnian who went to Princess Yu's manor, the emperor thought about it and understood everything.
Wei Qingyan decided to tell the emperor that when he visited Princess Yu's farm, he had thought that some things could not be hidden from the emperor.
She directly admitted, "Shi Yu is my fiancé, and Shi Mingxi wanted to assassinate Shi Yu when an assassin appeared in Prince Rong's mansion.
I'm just fighting back. If he didn't want to steal Shi Yu's credit, he wouldn't have joined the game. Ultimately, it's his own viciousness and greed."
If he hadn't done those things, Su Mao wouldn't have been able to take revenge on him.
Wei Qingyan believed that the emperor also understood this principle.
If Xiao Zhian was just an ordinary young man, she could hide the details of how they met.
But he is a prince of another country and is involved in transactions between the two countries. Even if the emperor does not investigate, there is no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives will investigate and eventually report it to the emperor.
What's more, since it involves major affairs between two countries, the emperor will definitely investigate, so it would be better for her to tell him directly.
As for whether the emperor would blame her for framing Shi Mingxi.
Wei Qingyan lowered her eyes slightly, she was not sure.
Although her recent interactions had changed her opinion of the emperor, Shi Mingxi was still his biological son...
"How dare you." The emperor's voice was cold, but his face showed no anger. "He is my son. If you insult him, you are insulting me."
Lan Shu subconsciously wanted to protect Wei Qingyan, but when she saw the emperor's expression, she stood still.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of scolding you. I am just giving you a truthful evaluation." Wei Qingyan did not raise her eyes, her voice calm.
But she felt somewhat certain in her heart that the emperor might punish her, but not severely, otherwise he would not have said these words.
As expected, the emperor said, "You have deposed my crown prince, and I have lost him as my helper. You must complete the iron trade with Feng Zhao for me, otherwise, I will hold you accountable.
A husband must pay his wife's debts. I want Shi Yu to uncover all of King Jing's spies in the palace before he arrives in Beijing. Otherwise, I will not forgive him either."
As for the first task, even if the emperor didn't say it, Wei Qingyan would have tried to complete it, but since it implicated Shi Yu, Wei Qingyan felt a little guilty.
Feeling guilty, he wanted to fight for Shi Yu more, "The late emperor reigned for twenty-four years and was the master of this palace for twenty-four years.
If the current King Jing is the late emperor, the spies he has planted would not be so easy to find.
I believe in Shi Yu. No matter what kind of father-son relationship he has with the late emperor, when it comes to matters concerning the people of the world, he will never be vague and will definitely do this matter with all his heart.
If there are any omissions, please forgive me, Your Majesty. I promise you that I will facilitate the transaction with Feng Zhao."
How could the emperor not understand what Wei Qingyan said, but he was already busy with endless state affairs, so he could only ask Shi Yu to help.
He snorted, "You're quite protective of him."
Wei Qingyan nodded, "He is my future husband."
It's our duty to protect her.
Listen, listen, the tone of voice is exactly the same as when Lan Shu protected him back then.
"In your opinion, will the late emperor really take over King Jing's body?"
He was asking this question to Wei Qingyan.
Because Chang Qingnian did not understand the late emperor.
Wei Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. The emperor was suspicious of her!
She took a deep breath and said, "Based on the clues we found previously, this possibility is very high.
But when I followed Yan Lan to Yongzhou, I met King Jing.
King Jing, as he was, was completely different from the late emperor as described by the common people.
In fact, there are many things that I cannot understand.
Some even feel that the reason that the late emperor conspired with Su Mao to put the Wei dynasty in danger just to regain military power and sit on the throne again is a bit far-fetched.
But regardless of whether he is the late emperor or not, there is definitely something wrong with King Jing."
Eat one bite at a time. As long as they persevere, the truth will eventually come out.
The emperor's attitude towards this matter made Wei Qingyan feel much more at ease.
At least, he did not interrupt or cover up the matter just because it involved the late emperor and the royal family's reputation.
Another attempt failed.
Furthermore, the emperor's mood became extremely heavy when the matter of the late emperor was mentioned. He no longer had the desire to test her. "Today's matter is of great importance. You must not disclose it to anyone, including your brother."
"I understand, your servant." Wei Qingyan replied.
My father once said that the people can support the emperor, but can also overthrow the imperial power.
This is how the previous dynasty perished.
If King Jing was really the late emperor, and the people knew what he did, they would certainly be disappointed with the court.
If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of the situation and stirs up trouble, there will be no shortage of trouble.
However, if some mistakes are made, it would be so unfair to cover them up to the innocent people who died.
The day she regained her memory, she vowed to find out the truth and make it public, but not the vague truth she now has.
Therefore, even if the emperor didn't say it, she wouldn't say anything to outsiders.
The emperor didn't know what Wei Qingyan was thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go down."
When Lan Shu saw Wei Qingyan leaving, she followed him out. The emperor looked at their backs with deep eyes.
After a moment, he knocked on an ornament on the table and a man in black came out.
"Mother, the emperor may be suspicious of my identity."
After leaving the imperial study, Wei Qingyan listened attentively to the surrounding situation, and then whispered to Lan Shu.
"Sooner or later, he's not unintelligent."
He just has too many shackles.
"Don't be afraid, mother will protect you."
Wei Qingyan nodded, took Lan Shu's arm and shook it, "Mother is so kind."
Lan Shu touched her head and said with a wry smile, "Mother said that he and I are a thing of the past.
But if something really happens, wouldn't I still rely on his feelings for me... Would you dislike such a mother?"
"But you are standing in this palace now, aren't you worried about him and wanting to help your daughter?"
Wei Qingyan put her head on her shoulder and said, "Mom, don't think of yourself like that. I think you are very good.
Knowing what the Queen Mother and the late Emperor did, I feel he is not as bad as I imagined."
Lan Shu patted Wei Qingyan on the back and said, "He and I must have done a lot of good things in our past lives, which is why we have a child like you."
"And Abu." Wei Qingyan raised his head and looked at Lan Shu, "His spirit has become increasingly clear these past few days. Perhaps he will regain consciousness soon.
Then my daughter will be able to communicate with him.”
She knew her mother was in the palace, but she was worried about Abu.
Before entering the palace, my mother would look through the evil spirits several times a day, even though she couldn't see anything.
"That's great." Lan Shu was indeed happy.
He asked several questions about Abu.
Wei Qingyan answered them one by one.
Then, she suddenly said, "Mom, I want to marry Shi Yu as soon as possible."
