Chapter 197 Lan Shu's Decision
After the emperor left, Lan Shu left the palace.
She didn't want to hide it from her daughter.
But she came back empty-handed, as Wei Qingyan was not in Anyuan Marquis's Mansion.
When she saw the Posha Gun, she knew that her daughter would not be away for too long, otherwise she would definitely take the Posha with her.
Because she is still nourishing Abu's spirit with her blood.
If she was away for too long, she would definitely send someone to inform her so that she wouldn't worry.
The maid Wu Qiu noticed that Lan Shu had returned and hurried over.
"Senior Lan, the young lady went to Furong County yesterday and will probably be back in the capital this afternoon."
Lan Shu nodded, "I understand, you can go down."
She sat in Wei Qingyan's room holding Posha.
Look carefully at Wei Qingyan's room.
This room now looks like a girl's boudoir.
It has been three years since Qingyan started dressing as a woman again. When she came to Beijing, Fengxiaoyuan was still decorated in a cold and simple style.
These girlish outfits were purchased by her later.
My daughter is not good at taking care of these things, but she likes them very much and always smiles when she sees them.
Looking at the smile in her daughter's eyes, Lan Shu wanted to give her daughter the best in the world.
Her gaze turned to the dressing table, where was placed the scar removal cream that she had bought for her daughter at a high price.
Lan Shu opened it and saw that there was quite a bit of ointment inside. She thought that Qingyan had not applied it himself since she entered the palace.
Thinking of Wei Qingyan's body full of scars, and then thinking of the painful look on Wei Qingyan's face when he just regained his memory, Lan Shu's heart suddenly tightened, and she twitched in pain.
No, her daughter has suffered enough. As a mother, she failed to protect her, which is the greatest debt she owes.
As a father, Shi Jin should also bear the responsibilities he should bear.
Lan Shu immediately made up her mind and said to Posha, "Abu, your sister won't be back until the afternoon, but Shi Jin will be leaving the court soon.
Mother wants your sister to know that her and Shi Yu’s identities have been exposed, but mother wants Shi Jin to be your sister’s support even more.
My mother had married into the royal family, and she knew how difficult life would be for a royal woman without the strong support of her family.
Previously, mother only thought that Shi Yu was an idle prince of Wei. If your sister was not happy, mother would take your sister and Shi Yu away.
Who would have thought that he would be the Crown Prince of Feng Zhao? The Crown Prince is not an ordinary prince. In addition, Queen Feng Zhao has lost him for many years. If my mother dares to run away with him, Queen Feng Zhao will definitely chase us and we will never have peace.
Abu, it's because I'm useless. Wei needs the Sword Casting Villa, but Feng Zhao doesn't. I don't have the strength to fight against Feng Zhao.
Mother needs Shi Jin's help... So, mother still can't tell your sister, otherwise, with your sister's intelligence, she will definitely know the deal between Shi Jin and me.
Mother doesn't want her to blame herself. She just wants her to marry her lover as she wishes, so she doesn't have to worry about her in-laws and can live freely.
Posha naturally couldn't respond to her.
Lan Shu took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the broken wound carefully before reluctantly returning to the palace.
When she arrived, the emperor had just left court.
There was nothing important to do today, and the emperor was not in the mood, so they left early.
Lan Shu looked at the man in bright yellow robes and said, "I promise you, but if you still don't act like a good father, this promise will be void."
Shi Jin understands her, and she also understands Shi Jin.
Being deceived and exploited by his biological parents was a fatal blow to him.
He had long suspected Qingyan's identity, but he acquiesced to many things, only because he still had a trace of humanity and a little expectation for love.
If she abandoned him again, he would definitely become a cold-blooded and heartless person who only cared about the country.
Lan Shu didn't dare to think about a ruthless and desireless emperor.
Lan Shu also didn't want to see the emperor become like that, and she was even more afraid that after he became like that, Wei Qingyan would be the first to be sacrificed.
The emperor's tense face slowly relaxed, and he smiled, with the corners of his lips raised high, revealing his white teeth.
Feng Ruobao, who was standing by, was distracted.
He had served the emperor for more than thirty years, and this was the first time he saw such a... such a normal smile on the emperor's face.
The emperor was taught to be restrained since he was a child. Even when he was happy with Concubine Shu, he smiled in a reserved manner.
Feng Ruobao's eyes were hot. He looked at Lan Shu with gratitude and bowed to her silently.
The emperor stared at Lan Shu and smiled for a long time before only responding with a "OK."
Then he turned and left.
After taking two steps, he turned back to look at Lan Shu, "Shu'er, I will do my best to give our daughter the best.
The best of what I have...I give it to her!"
He seemed to have made a decision and strode away.
A moment later, Feng Ruobao came over again, "Your Majesty, His Majesty wants to rest this morning and stay in the bedroom. You don't have to protect him."
This meant that she could rest as well. Lan Shu nodded, "Got it."
Feng Ruobao left with a smile.
Lan Shu's sleep was disturbed last night and she couldn't fall asleep now. She didn't know whether Wei Qingyan had returned to Beijing by now.
Wei Qingyan, whom she was thinking about, was sitting cross-legged on the bed, facing Shi Yu.
She was wearing a midriff-baring dress and her hair was loose. She was awakened by the shock.
Last night, after the three of them each ate a bowl of noodles, Shi Yu stayed on her bed. The two of them didn't do anything and fell asleep in each other's arms.
But when the sky just turned bright, Wei Qingyan dreamed that the late emperor was strangling Shi Yu's neck viciously.
She woke up instantly, and in a flash, she understood the purpose of the late emperor stealing Shi Yu.
"I've always found it strange. King Jing is a low-key person, so why was he the one who was possessed? There's nothing special about his horoscope.
To take over the body of King Jing, one still needs to go through the trouble of launching a rebellion. Wouldn't it be easier to just take over the body of the emperor?
He didn't seize the emperor's body, perhaps because of some resistance, but I think it's more likely that he had better options."
Shi Yu tucked the hair that was scattered on her face behind her ears and continued, "That choice is me."
I don't know why it didn't work out, and in the end it was King Jing who was possessed.
"Yes, he doted on you so much before, pampering you and even giving you military power. Was it with the intention of fostering your ambition?"
"Yes, he even hinted that he wanted me to be the crown prince."
Shi Yu looked at the girl with long hair and suddenly felt a little unruly. He moved closer to her and said, "But at that time, I just wanted to take you to eat, drink and have fun."
"You're useless." Wei Qingyan tapped his forehead.
The late emperor probably never thought that there would be someone like Shi Yu in the world who was not greedy for power.
Let’s get back to business, “If he takes over your body and seizes the throne.
If you deliberately leak some information to let Feng Zhao know that you are in Wei, he can take the opportunity to return to Feng Zhao to recognize his relatives, and then use some other tricks to sit on Feng Zhao's throne. It may not be impossible.
In this way, Dawei and Fengzhao are both in his pocket, and he can use the raw iron as he pleases without having to buy it."
Wei Qingyan sighed, "I was narrow-minded. I only thought of Yuan Tie before. Who would have thought that his ambition would be so big."
"It's not that you're narrow-minded, it's that you're not as greedy as him."
He actually wanted to seize someone else's country in this way without spending a single soldier.
Shi Yu's feelings towards the late emperor were always complicated. With thousands of emotions, he could only say this one sentence.
"Do you hate him?" Wei Qingyan looked at Shi Yu.
Knowing the true face of the late emperor, Shi Yu had only lost his composure that time in the palace.
After that, he remained emotionally stable.
Moreover, Wei Qingyan could see that he was not deliberately forbearing.
"I should hate it, but I don't hate it too much."
Shi Yu held the person in his arms and said, "If you want others to believe that he is good to me, you have to make him believe it first. So, his kindness to me is not completely fake.
There are not many people who were born into a royal family and grew up as freely as I did.
He separated me from my parents, and I should hate him, but who can guarantee that when I grow up in Fengzhao, I will be able to live as freely as I did in Dawei?
I couldn't meet you in Fengzhao either. Maybe this is fate.
The one who should really hate him is the Emperor."
