Chapter 19 Punishing Evil is Promoting Good
Shi Yu had already recognized her, except that he didn't dare let Wei Qingyan know.
He didn't want to hide anything else from her, so he told her the truth, "Madam Wei agreed, and she personally went to Huangshaling to change his burial clothes.
Let me take his body to Beiling and let him see with his own eyes how I avenge him."
It was his mother who made him do this?
Wei Qingyan's hands suddenly clenched under his sleeves.
"Why would Madam Wei go to Huangshaling?"
Shi Yu shook his head.
After Wei Qingyan was taken away by the monk, he was thinking about how to use the male corpse to hide it from Mrs. Wei when she arrived.
She didn't even try to test whether he had seen the real Wei Qingyan or knew the secret of the Wei family.
He always knew that Madam Wei was strict to the point of being indifferent to Wei Qingyan, but he didn't know that she could be so cruel.
Worried that she would secretly look for Wei Qingyan's body and thus reveal Wei Qingyan's identity, he sent someone to follow her so that they could clean up the mess in time.
But she didn't expect that she didn't look for it at all.
"Madam Wei didn't tell me the reason. She changed her burial clothes and nailed up the coffin. It took her about a quarter of an hour before she rode back to the capital."
He didn't even turn his head.
Wei Qingyan felt a chill on his back.
The coffin is nailed shut and will never be opened again. How can we prepare the remains in just a quarter of an hour?
The rumor that her mother fell ill because of her death in battle was false. In fact, she secretly left the capital under the pretext of recuperation. Was she worried that her identity would be discovered by Shi Yu?
Seeing Abu's face that had not yet decayed, the mother could guess that it was her substitute.
Her identity was not revealed, the Wei family was safe, and her mother could return to Beijing with peace of mind.
But she asked Shi Yu to take Abu to Beiling.
As time went by, the body became rotten and difficult to identify, which provided a reason not to open the coffin.
The mother took advantage of Shi Yu's feelings for her and made him do the crazy thing of keeping the corpse with him.
The result of this is that people who don't know that she is a woman will speculate that Prince Rong is a homosexual, or that Prince Rong has a deep brotherly love for the National Defense General.
But the emperor knew she was a woman.
As an emperor with three thousand beauties in his harem, he probably wouldn't think that his brother would like a man. He would only assume that Prince Rong had known that she was a woman for a long time, which was why he was so deeply in love with her.
She delayed returning to Beijing with the body in order to hide her identity from the world.
The more Shi Yu acted like this, the more the emperor was convinced that the corpse was her, and he no longer suspected that she was not dead.
Why did the mother have to confirm her death to the emperor?
Or was it that the emperor wanted her dead, and her mother understood the emperor's thoughts. In order to protect the Wei family and Wanyi, whom her mother loved, her mother had to confirm her death.
The mother never went to look for her in the sea of blood and corpses. Didn't she ever think that maybe she was still alive?
Wei Qingyan remembered that before she went to war, her mother gave her a thunderbolt.
"Mother is looking forward to your return with great victory, but for the sake of the Wei family, Mother has to prepare for the worst.
"This was bought from the underworld by someone my mother had sent. If you find yourself in a situation where you can't survive, pull the trigger. That way, no one will know you're a girl."
The thunder exploded, and everything was shattered into pieces, making it impossible to tell whether it was male or female.
Yes.
Her mother understood her and knew that she would not abandon the National Protection Army and escape alone, and would fight to the last moment.
She did pull the fuse at the last moment before she breathed her last.
The fat monk said that if he had not arrived in time and repelled the thunder, she would have been killed.
Wei Qingyan tried his best to steady his voice, "I heard that the prince was impeached by the officials for this matter. Why didn't you tell everyone that it was Madam Wei's instruction?"
After the emperor ascended the throne, he was already wary of Shi Yu. If he believed that Shi Yu and she, who had a hundred thousand national defense troops under her command, had a good relationship so good that he even knew the secret of her daughter's identity.
The emperor's fear will only grow stronger. Even if the general who protects the country is dead, there are still 80,000 national defense troops. He will definitely be on guard against Shi Yu everywhere, and even plot against him.
How could someone as smart as Shi Yu not think of this? But he...
Shi Yu's expression was cold and indifferent. "Whether you say it or not, the situation is no different. Besides, that is also my wish."
His father loved him and was worried that he would be bullied by his brother in the future, so when he granted him the fiefdom, he also gave him 100,000 soldiers.
Those 100,000 troops became a thorn in the emperor's side. Even without this incident, there would be other excuses to withdraw them.
Moreover, if he mentioned Madam Wei, it would definitely lead to many things and her identity would no longer be hidden.
Wei Qingyan felt sad. Her mother went to Huangshaling but left her to pieces without a burial place.
Shi Yu gave everything for her.
But he is a royal prince.
She said, "Your Highness, do you know that the general is in Yuzhou and there is a Yulan Mountain in Ling County?"
Shi Yu looked at her quietly.
He didn't know about this, nor did he know why Wei Qingyan asked this.
Wei Qingyan curled the corners of her mouth, "The general said that after helping the emperor to pacify the world, she would resign from her post and retire to Yulan Mountain, and from then on she would just be an idle person tending to flowers and plants."
She never thought of coveting power.
She got the treasure at the foot of Magnolia Mountain by chance. She wanted to give part of it to the soldiers and leave part for her mother to enjoy her old age when she retired.
But the royal family let her down.
Her mother abandoned her.
Shi Yu's hands were clenched tightly, and veins bulged.
It took a lot of self-control for him not to go forward and pull her into his arms, but he couldn't speak either.
He understood how cruel it would be for Wei Qingyan to know what Madam Wei had done, but there were some things she could only make the right judgments about if she knew the truth.
It's just that my heart aches like a knife.
He closed his eyes, not daring to look at her again.
The surroundings fell into silence.
But the silence didn't last long.
The sound of swords clashing could be heard.
Jingzhe Dongzang hurriedly drew his sword, and Shi Yu subconsciously protected Wei Qingyan behind him.
There was surprise in Wei Qingyan's eyes.
Now in front of Shi Yu is Chang Qingnian, a woman he has met only three times.
He has never been a gentle man.
Shi Yu moved his feet, then realized something was wrong. He was silent for a moment and explained, "I don't want blood to be stained here."
Wei Qingyan looked at him deeply, then turned his gaze to the fight in the distance.
Several men surrounded a woman. The woman seemed to have been seriously injured, and bright red blood dripped wherever she went.
Trying hard to resist.
Dongzang was guarding Shi Yu, while Jingzhe was stepping forward with his sword in hand.
With Jingzhe's help, the woman was able to breathe, tore off the hem of her clothes, turned around and tied her bleeding arm with a cloth strip.
When she turned her head, Wei Qingyan saw her profile clearly. His pupils shrank slightly, and he stepped on tiptoe and stood in front of the woman.
It’s Yan Lan!
Yan Qing's sister!
"Are you okay?"
Wei Qingyan checked the injuries on Yan Lan's body with his eyes, but his hand accurately pinched a man who rushed over.
With a snap, Wei Qingyan broke the other person's neck.
Jingzhe also knocked down two people.
Several men were of average skill, but when they saw Jingzhe and Wei Qingyan were very skilled, they quickly dropped their swords. One of them said, "Sir, spare my life. This is my wife. She wanted to run away from home, so I took my brothers to chase her."
"Thank you both for saving me." Yan Lan thanked Wei Qingyan and Jingzhe, then angrily said to the man, "You're lying. You're clearly bandits."
"I'm not lying. Your husband gave you to us," the bandit shouted. "You're already ours. You might even be pregnant."
The word 'we' made Yan Lan's face turn pale.
Unbearable memories rushed into her mind, and she raised her sword to stab the bandit in the heart.
Someone is faster than her.
All the bandits had their throats slit, staring with their eyes wide open, as if they couldn't believe how they could die like this.
The dagger in Wei Qingyan's hand was dripping with blood. She took out a handkerchief and wiped it casually, then put the dagger into her boot and clasped her hands together.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Do not do evil, practice all good. Punishing evil is promoting good. Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful."
As soon as she finished speaking, a few faint black auras floated towards her...
