Chapter 198 Brother Becomes Son-in-law
In order to stabilize the people's hearts, the late emperor appointed the emperor as the crown prince of Wei when he became emperor.
At that time, he was indeed training the emperor as the crown prince.
But as he became emperor for a long time, his ambition and arrogance grew. When he saw Feng Zhao's strength, he began to have other ideas.
It was at that time that the emperor truly became a pawn in his hands.
In Wei Qingyan's impression, the emperor seemed to be always busy and had started helping the previous emperor handle government affairs very early on.
Therefore, the late emperor, as an emperor, would take her and Shi Yu out to play whenever he had time.
However, the emperor, who is the crown prince, has very little free time.
Those who are capable should work harder.
This is especially true in the royal family.
The emperor assigned many tasks to the prince, which showed that the emperor valued the prince very much.
The emperor must have thought the same at that time.
But who would have thought that he was just a tool to get the job done.
When the late emperor stole Shi Yu away, he had already decided to depose him as the crown prince, but his attempt to take over his body failed, which allowed the emperor to ascend the throne smoothly.
Wei Qingyan thought that the emperor would be very upset after learning the truth.
Just like when she didn't know her own life story, she learned that Madam Wei had gone to Huangshaling, but she didn't go to look for her body.
The harm caused by those closest to us is often devastating.
"Will he guess?"
Shi Yu nodded. "He is investigating the whereabouts of the man in black. Sooner or later, he will find out everything by following this clue. As an emperor, there are some things he knows more than we do."
Wei Qingyan thought about it and agreed with Shi Yu's idea.
Ben had no intention of hiding it for long.
However, "I wonder if he will continue to investigate now that he knows the truth about the abduction of Crown Prince Feng Zhao, or will he keep it secret for the sake of the country's stability, just like he did with the Huangshaling incident."
"I'm afraid it's hard to hide."
But Shi Yu was not sure what the emperor was going to do.
The king's heart is hard to predict.
But now he knew many truths and understood that his previous bad impression of the emperor was deliberately guided by the late emperor.
In addition, after this period of contact, he felt that the emperor was not that bad, nor was he a foolish person who only cared about saving face.
Maybe he will continue to investigate.
On the contrary, he was on guard against Empress Feng Zhao, "Xiao Yan, to me right now, nothing in the world is as important as our marriage.
When we get back to Beijing, I'll accompany you for two days to go shopping and buy everything you need, okay?"
Wei Qingyan tilted his head, "Are you worried that Queen Feng Zhao will stop our marriage?"
"To be honest, Princess, I am indeed worried, but if she doesn't let me marry her, I will marry into her family. I don't think Xiao Yan will abandon me."
After that, he said quietly, "However, I have to be nicer to my brother from now on. My brother has become my son-in-law. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to accept the truth for a while after he knows it."
Wei Qingyan was amused by his resentful tone and burst out laughing.
The person in his arms laughed so hard that her whole body shook. Shi Yu also curled his lips.
The heavy atmosphere just now completely dissipated.
After Wei Qingyan had laughed enough, he stood up, washed up, and the two of them rode back to the capital.
After returning home, Wei Qingyan heard that Lan Shu had left the palace to look for her.
He took a bath, changed his clothes and went to the palace to see Lan Shu.
Lan Shu had something on her mind, so she took the initiative to ask about Wei Qingyan's recent movements, hoping to test whether her daughter knew Shi Yu's identity.
She always asked Wei Qingyan every detail, so Wei Qingyan would not find it strange that she asked this question.
He then helped Shen Changshan to avenge his grievances, and from this he found out that Shi Yu was the Crown Prince Feng Zhao, and told her everything.
When Lan Shu heard that Shi Yu was indeed Prince Feng Zhao, a look of worry appeared between her brows.
Wei Qingyan knew what she was worried about and comforted her, "Mom, we will be fine. You believe in your daughter, and you also believe in Shi Yu."
Lan Shu naturally believed in her daughter's ability, and she also clearly saw Shi Yu's affection for her daughter.
But she couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer.
I am more and more convinced that my choice is right.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Wei Qingyan asked Lan Shu to take her to see Wei Wanyi.
He told her that King Jing was on his way to Beijing and would probably arrive after the New Year.
When King Jing came to the capital, Wei Wanyi was both looking forward to it and afraid.
Prince Jing was no longer the Shi Qian she loved, so she had to divorce him. Moreover, Prince Jing had developed other intentions.
The emperor summoned him to Beijing to punish him.
But Wei Wanyi was worried about her two children.
Since ancient times, women have rarely divorced, especially when she married into the royal family. Even if the emperor is wise and allows her to divorce, can she take the royal child with her?
If she couldn't take them away, the two children would have to follow King Jing. Wei Wanyi didn't dare to think about what would happen to them in the future.
Because of these, she has lost a lot of weight recently.
"I thought, if all else fails, I'll just say the child is mine and someone else's. Even though the child will be criticized in the future, it's better than losing his life following that devil."
These days, she has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures. Although there is no mention of possession of body in them, she vaguely understands it.
Her real husband, Shi Qian, is probably dead.
Then she should protect their son. After all, she has to leave a descendant for Shi Qian.
Wei Qingyan looked at his sister, who was once as delicate as a flower, but now was thin and haggard, and in a trance. He raised his hand and patted her head, "Wanyi, don't be afraid.
Things haven't gotten to that point yet, so don't scare yourself. A mother's emotions can most affect her child, so don't scare the child.
They are descendants of the Shi family, and they also have the blood of the Wei family flowing in their veins. I won't let anything happen to them, so don't be afraid."
"You..." Wei Wanyi looked at Wei Qingyan in a daze.
On the day of her wedding, her brother patted her head and told her, "Don't be afraid. Even if you marry into the royal family, don't let yourself be wronged. Wanyi still has her brother behind her."
After her brother died in the battle, Wei Wanyi would think of this scene whenever she thought of her brother.
But it was not until that day in the imperial study that she realized that her brother was actually a girl. Her brother, who was as brave as her father, was actually a girl.
She is still a princess.
The person in front of me...
Wei Wanyi didn't dare to think too much about it.
What happened recently made her extremely timid. She didn't dare to say a word for fear of bringing disaster to the three of them, mother and son.
But he was really worried about the future of his two children, so he changed the question he was about to ask to, "Will you really help us?"
"Yes, so don't be afraid. Eat well, sleep well, and spend time with the children."
Wei Qingyan looked at the two children and said, "Look, both of them have lost a lot of weight."
Wei Wanyi's gaze also turned to the two children.
The two children were indeed affected by her. The son became more silent, and there was more anxiety in the daughter's bright eyes.
She didn't know whether it was Wei Qingyan's assurance that made her feel at ease, or her guilt towards her two children.
Wei Wanyi exhaled heavily, "You're right, it hasn't happened yet, I can't be afraid.
If that day ever comes, I will fight back, after all, they still have me as their mother."
Seeing this, Wei Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief.
When I came out of the palace, I saw Shi Yu's carriage waiting at the palace gate.
When the two came, they made an appointment to go together to find Xiao Zhian and Lin Lanting.
Resolving Shen Changshan's resentment can only be accomplished through the Feng Zhaolin family.
Shi Yu decided to make a deal with Lin Lanting.
