Chapter 171 I Will Help Qingyan
The emperor looked at the cakes beside the teacup.
No words.
Seeing Lan Shu didn't move, Feng Ruobao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you have to help His Majesty try this cake."
"Don't you have silver needles?"
Lan Shu is not stupid and can see through the emperor's little thoughts.
Feng Ruobao smiled apologetically and said, "Some poisons cannot be detected by silver needles, and the eunuchs who test poisons these days may not be trustworthy. I can only trouble you, Your Majesty."
Lan Shu laughed angrily, "You are so generous. He is suspicious of you, but you are still so considerate. Besides, I am not your queen."
Having said that, he still used a silver needle to scrape a small piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
Feng Ruobao just smiled without saying anything, bowed and left.
The emperor then picked up the cake that had been tested for poison and began to eat it. After he finished the cake, he said, "After you leave the palace."
Lan Shu had an accident during childbirth and then left the palace, which made him realize his powerlessness and he wanted to train some people of his own.
"Do you know anyone who understands the mystical arts, such as a monk or a Taoist priest?"
Since she took in the Jade-faced Young Master only after she left the palace, the fat monk must have come to the capital after she left the palace, or he must have been paying attention to the emperor's whereabouts.
Regardless of whether Shi Jin was the crown prince or had already become the emperor, his movements were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The only way to know that Shi Jin took Jade-faced Young Master in was to get the news from Jade-faced Young Master or from Shi Jin.
Since Yumian was loyal to the emperor, he would not reveal his relationship with the emperor casually.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, as if asking why he asked this.
At that moment, Lan Shu saw the shadow of Wei Qingyan in the emperor's expression.
My daughter often has this expression when she doesn't want to talk much.
It has a majestic aura.
She collected her thoughts and said vaguely, "Things like possessing a body are a bit scary. If you know someone who does this, you can be prepared."
The emperor really wanted to ask, are you concerned about me?
But he knew Lan Shu's character well. If he pushed her any further, she would definitely turn against him. So he took a sip of tea and said, "I do know a few monks, but I don't know those with mysterious abilities."
Shi Jin doesn’t know the fat monk?
Could it be that the fat monk was secretly monitoring Shi Jin?
But why would a monk who travels around all year round keep an eye on the emperor?
Lan Shu couldn't figure it out, so she decided to go out of the palace at night to borrow her daughter's brain.
Unable to get the information she wanted, Lan Shu was too lazy to talk anymore and found a chair by the window to sit down.
The view outside the window of the imperial study is very beautiful. Even in winter, the garden is full of flowers of various colors. There is also an artificial lake in the distance where you can go boating. The sunlight shines on the lake, and the ripples are sparkling, which is particularly beautiful.
In recent years, the fat monk has taken them to see many beautiful sights.
Neither she nor Qingyan were the type to express their emotions. Even if they saw a beautiful scene, they would at most just look at it a few more times.
But the fat monk would spin and flutter his fat body in the sea of flowers, then encourage them to join in, and asked Qingyan to make a wreath for each of the three of them.
At last he led them ostentatiously through the crowd, his fat, bald head crowned with a wreath of flowers.
After repeatedly exclaiming at the beauty of the sunrise on the top of the mountain, he would take out paper and pen and ask Qingyan to draw the beautiful sunrise.
The painting shows a monk meditating facing the red clouds, and a woman dancing with a sword facing the rising sun.
Huanshi, who would compete with fish in the water, asked her, the aunt of the Sword Forging Villa, to personally go into the water to catch fish and shrimp, and then make different flavors according to his instructions...
He would not allow them to stay out of any good thing.
Although he was a monk, he brought her and Qingyan into the mortal world and took them to experience many beautiful things in the world.
He often told them that one should enjoy life to the fullest.
During those years, she and Qingyan were really happy.
In comparison, Lan Shu suddenly felt that Emperor Shi Jin was very pitiful. Even in such a beautiful scenery, his eyes were mostly fixed on various memorials, and he had no time to appreciate the beauty around him.
Thinking of this, she looked at the emperor with sympathy.
But she saw the emperor staring at her in a daze.
The emperor was caught peeping, and he coughed lightly, then said seriously, "Lan Shu, if something happens to me one day, or I become someone else, please try to kill me.
Then take Qingyan away and never set foot in the capital again."
"you……"
Lan Shu didn't know how to respond.
He had indeed guessed that Qingyan was still alive.
"What grudge do I have against you that you want to make me bear the crime of regicide?"
The emperor raised the corners of his lips.
He didn't want her to bear such a crime, he was just worried that his arrangements were not thorough enough.
He agreed with what Lan Shu had just said. Even if he was a king, he would have no way to deal with such a mysterious thing as possessing another's body.
Just like before, he suddenly fainted without any warning, and the imperial doctors were helpless. No one knew when he would wake up, or whether he would wake up again if he fainted again.
He also asked the Imperial Observatory privately, but the Observatory had only heard of the phenomenon of possession.
His pessimism was only temporary. He was the pillar of the Wei Dynasty. If he was afraid, wouldn't his subordinates be even more panicked? He picked up the memorial again and continued to be busy with state affairs that would never be finished.
Seeing this, Lan Shu felt inexplicably irritated. Shi Jin had mentioned death several times today.
She doesn't like to hear such words.
She stood up suddenly, walked to the imperial desk, took the memorial from his hand, and pulled him to the window, "I see that even if you don't get possessed, you will most likely die of exhaustion.
Things happen every day, so why not take a break? Is it that the flowers are not beautiful enough, or the sun is not bright enough?
Feng Ruobao, who was standing outside the door, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
In the entire palace, the only one who dared to speak like this about the emperor was Concubine Shu. However, her own master not only did not mind, but also laughed.
He suddenly understood that the emperor was behaving abnormally today.
Your Majesty has been brought up as the crown prince since he was young and has been accustomed to suppressing his emotions. Now that he has learned the true face of the late emperor, His Majesty must be feeling extremely uncomfortable.
That's why he deliberately asked Concubine Shu to test the poison and make a fuss about it, probably to relieve the depression in his heart.
Thinking of this, Feng Ruobao also felt a little sympathy for his master.
The emperor, who was repeatedly sympathized with, was following Lan Shu's guidance and looking at the scenery outside the window.
These scenes were not unfamiliar to him. No matter how busy he was, he went in and out every day, and these scenes were all under his nose and were commonplace to him.
But I felt much more relaxed in my heart, and even when I looked at the familiar scenery, I could see a difference.
The two of them sat by the window in silence for a long time.
The emperor suddenly said, "I have always wanted to apologize to you for what happened between my father-in-law and my elder brother.
Although it’s of no use.”
Lan Shu suddenly turned around and looked at him.
He actually knew?
The emperor didn't look at her this time. He cast his gaze towards the lake in the distance and said, "You are the treasure of your father-in-law and elder brother.
If you want to give birth, even if they are angry that you followed me back then, they will rush to the capital because they are worried about you.
But they never showed up until something happened to you, and you suddenly pretended to be crazy, so I knew that something must have happened to them.
They came down the mountain because of my letter. I was the one who harmed them. You must hate me deeply in your heart, and I have no face to keep you by my side any longer."
I also know that without your father and brother, the Sword Forging Villa needs you to take charge of the situation.
"Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"
Since he knew all this, why didn't he say it before? Why should he say it now?
The emperor turned around and smiled, "I want to tell you that I was able to let you go back then. Now, if Qingyan doesn't want to show up, I will also help her."
