Chapter 169: A Domineering Episode
Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat.
But he didn't have time to be happy, and asked hurriedly, "Did something happen?"
Wei Qingyan rested her head on his shoulder, "Don't you want to marry me?"
think!
Of course I did!
I dream of marrying her home as soon as possible.
They had previously agreed to wait until the truth about Huangshaling was completely revealed and she had avenged the National Protection Army before getting married.
Later, the emperor ordered them to get married within a year, and he also warned himself to help Xiaoyan fulfill her wish as soon as possible.
However, now that Xiao Yan suddenly took the initiative to propose marriage, he was happy but also worried.
Too many things happened in the palace today, and his nerves were on edge.
Wei Qingyan soothed him, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing, it's just that the emperor is suspicious of my identity, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Shi Yu understood what had happened after a moment's thought.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'll go back and prepare."
Wei Qingyan moved his head, trying to lean back more comfortably, "My mother has agreed, and my eldest sister won't have any objections either.
Shi Yu, a normal wedding is fine, no need to be too complicated, I just want it to be quick."
She knew that Shi Yu would do his best to give her the best.
Shi Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at her eagerness. "We only get married once, and I don't want you to feel wronged."
Wei Qingyan took his hands in hers and twisted them together, "How can I feel wronged to marry you? You have the whole life to treat me well."
If you are not sincere, no matter how grand the wedding is, it doesn’t matter. If you are sincere, you can live a happy life with simple meals.
If we don't have a wedding night after marriage, it would be unfair to him.
As for the emperor's words about marrying her off with the ceremony of a princess, Wei Qingyan did not take it to heart.
Not wanting to embarrass Shi Yu, she acted bossy for once, "It's settled now. If you keep nagging, I might change my mind that day."
Shi Yu was helpless, "As you say, let's just have a normal wedding."
He sighed in his heart, and his previous plan of ordering people to search everywhere for valuable items as a betrothal gift had to be put on hold.
Never mind, it’s for her anyway, it’s the same whether I give it to her after marriage.
Wei Qingyan got the answer, so he changed the subject and asked, "What did the emperor say? And who is in charge of Youxiang Pavilion now?"
"As you guessed, after Wei Wanyi got married, Madam Wei has been managing her business in the capital.
The emperor didn't say much. He had just issued an edict to Prince Jing. If the person Su Mao was looking for was Prince Jing, then he would have no choice but to follow Prince Jing back to the capital.
It will be easier to force them to reveal their true forms once they reach the capital. Dong Zang has personally led people there and will be keeping an eye on what's going on there, so don't worry."
If Su Mao did not go to find King Jing, it means that their previous guess was wrong, and they can only look for clues again.
Wei Qingyan nodded, "Alright, I'll take this opportunity to investigate the matter of Dajue Temple..."
At this point, she hurriedly took out a paper talisman from her bosom and said, "I was just in the palace. It was inconvenient for me to go to the Ministry of Punishment, so I used the talisman to suppress Madam Wei's resentment here."
"Take a quick look."
Shi Yu urged.
Madam Wei went to such lengths for the late emperor, and her obsession was most likely related to the late emperor.
Wei Qingyan nodded and closed his eyes.
The scene slowly unfolds before my eyes.
Shi Yu didn't know what she saw, but she saw Wei Qingyan frown at first, and then a hint of disgust could be seen on his face.
She opened her red lips and said, "Oh, this is not the position I wanted to play. My hand slipped and the chess piece fell by itself."
The tone was coquettish.
This was obviously not Wei Qingyan's usual tone of voice.
Shi Yu quickly understood that she was imitating other people's speech to convey to him what she saw in the resentful scene.
Then, her voice lowered again, and her tone was doting, "Girl, you are cheating again."
"Will you agree then, big brother?" the girl asked in a somewhat unruly tone.
"Yi, Yi, Yi, Brother Shi will give in to you all his life."
Shi Yu got goose bumps all over his body when he heard the disgusting tone, and he rubbed his arms hurriedly.
"It was Madam Wei, dressed as a young girl, playing chess with the late emperor." Wei Qingyan opened his eyes and his voice returned to normal.
Even though he had guessed it long ago and was sure about it, Shi Yu still found it hard to accept it.
When Wei Qingyan spoke again, Shi Yu could no longer maintain his calm expression.
She said, “They kissed.”
The late emperor had always relied on General Wei, and even treated him as a brother in private.
But he married Madam Wei, with whom he had had physical intimacy, to General Wei. What was his intention? Shi Yu understood without any effort.
The late emperor’s kindness to General Wei was false!
"Xiao Yan, I'm beginning to wonder if there's someone in this world who looks just like the late emperor, impersonating him and doing these things. This is completely different from the image I have of my father."
Wei Qingyan understood his feelings.
When she first learned about the late emperor's other side from Mrs. Du, her heart was filled with turmoil.
But that's the reality.
"Actually, this isn't the first time I've seen images of the late emperor. I also saw him in the image of the old lady of Marquis Anyuan..."
Wei Qingyan couldn't bear it, but he still told Shi Yu the scene before Guan's death in Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
"When Madam Wei called him 'Big Brother', it meant she knew his identity.
The king, who is high and mighty, puts down his airs and gets so close to a minister, and dotes on her so much. This doting will be infinitely magnified because of his status. How can the young girl not be devoted to him?
He was the same with Guan Shi, Shi Yu, whether we are willing to accept it or not, the late emperor... is a hypocrite."
He is a hypocrite who is good at taking advantage of women's feelings.
Now, she was almost certain that Du Changyuan's death was the work of the late emperor.
How could such a hypocritical person tolerate Du Changyuan who asked him to marry Guan?
It was just that he needed Du Changyuan, a brave general, so he let him live until the eve of victory.
But she won't tell Shi Yu until she has solid evidence.
He has suffered enough blows today.
She raised her arms and put them around his waist, "Shi Yu, he is him, and you are you."
This consolation had no real meaning. Wei Qingyan waited for Shi Yu to figure it out on his own.
She believed that he was not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters.
Shi Yu seemed to be frozen, his eyes fixed on one spot for a long time without moving.
After a long moment, he looked at Wei Qingyan and said, "He has let down many people."
The soldiers who followed him to conquer the world, the people who believed in him, the women whose feelings he exploited, and him.
He has respected the late emperor since he was a child and regarded him as a role model in life. After knowing his own identity, he felt even more grateful to the late emperor.
I am grateful for giving him an identity and deep fatherly love.
But now, there are some things he is not sure about.
"I was thinking maybe he lied to me about my identity as well.
He said that I was abandoned in the temple by a young couple twenty-four years ago, but I searched all over the circumstances of that year and couldn't find any clues.
Could it be that he gave me the wrong information?"
Wei Qingyan followed his train of thought and thought, "If you weren't brought here from Dajue Temple at all, or if the timing was wrong..."
After a pause, Wei Qingyan said uncertainly, "The Queen Mother gave birth to a child twenty-three years ago, and the late Emperor said that you were abandoned in Dajue Temple twenty-four years ago.
The empress dowager's son was raised in the temple for half a year. Because the empress dowager had not seen her son for half a year, and the late emperor had made proper arrangements, the empress dowager did not notice anything unusual.
Now that I think about it, even if the Queen Mother couldn't tell the difference between the children, there were many experienced old maids in the palace, and they couldn't tell the difference between a one-year-old baby and a six-month-old baby?
Perhaps you were born in the 23rd year, and the late emperor misled you about the time, so you can't find anything?"
