Chapter 24 Affair Accident
Wei Qingyan felt a little confused.
It seems like Shi Yu and her are very familiar with each other?
Earlier in the cemetery, he immediately stood in front of her, and now he made such an intimate gesture.
She remembered that he used to be very annoyed by the approach of noble ladies.
Therefore, after seeing those secrets in the private room, she was so sure that Shi Yu really liked men.
But now she is a woman!
Shi Yu recognized her?
The fat monk swore that he had taken her away from Huangshaling before Prince Rong's army arrived.
Shi Yu had never seen her body, so how could he know that she was a woman?
When she was dressed as a man, except for her Adam's apple and her crotch, there were things sewn up. As far as she could remember, except for the time when Shi Yu drugged her without her knowledge, she was always very alert when she slept.
Although the fat monk is often out of tune and not that devout to Buddha, he is really good to her. Would he lie to her?
Wei Qingyan turned around with a cold face and looked at Shi Yu with inquiring eyes. When he was about to ask something, a cry of surprise was heard.
Luo Congyun's face was pale. "It hurts, Chenglang, my stomach hurts so much..."
Blood was oozing from beneath her.
"I... I'll go call a doctor." Luo Chengzhou was also frightened and hurriedly got out of bed and put on his clothes.
"Child, my child, Chenglang... don't go... I'm scared..." Luo Congyun cried and reached out to try to pull him.
Luo Chengzhou was already frightened and panicked, staggering out of the house.
When they reached the courtyard gate, he turned back and told Luo Congyun, "Be patient and don't scream too loudly. If people find out, we'll all be dead. I'll go get a doctor right away."
He also asked the maid to quickly help Luo Congyun put on clothes.
After saying that, he turned around and ran out without caring about Luo Congyun's reaction.
I felt both scared and angry.
He was afraid that Luo Congyun would die, that their affair would be discovered, and that Luo Congyun was pregnant but still seduced him, causing such trouble.
On the roof, Wei Qingyan patted Shi Yu's arm and said silently, "Doctor."
Shi Yu understood and disappeared into the night in a few flashes.
There were originally many maids and old women arranged in the courtyard where Luo Congyun was staying, but when Luo Chengzhou came, he was worried that their affairs would be discovered, so he sent everyone away.
Now she and her maid were the only ones left in her room.
Wei Qingyan threw two stones into the room, hitting the two men's sleeping places.
Luo Congyun hadn't put on her clothes yet, and it was obvious at a glance that she wasn't wearing anything that could serve as a token of love. Wei Qingyan checked her body again to see if she had any birthmarks.
Then, he woke up the maid and said, "Don't move."
The maid opened her eyes and saw a man in black holding a dagger against her neck. Her eyes rolled back and she almost fainted again.
Wei Qingyan's voice was low and hoarse. "If you answer me honestly, I won't kill you. But if you dare to play tricks on me, I will send you to see the King of Hell right now. Nod if you understand."
The maid nodded repeatedly.
"What is Luo Congyun's true identity?"
As the maid hesitated, Wei Qingyan used some force on the dagger in his hand. The maid was frightened and said quickly, "Yes, it's the princess."
Princess?
Wei Qingyan's eyebrows slightly frowned.
The emperor is not lustful and does not have many concubines in the harem. There are currently five princesses. The eldest princess and the second princess are already married, and the other three live in the palace. There is no news of any other princesses.
Judging from Luo Congyun's age, she should be in her early twenties. "What princess? Who is her mother?"
"I don't know. I only heard from my mistress that she was a princess of a golden branch and jade leaf. I really don't know anything else."
Wei Qingyan increased the pressure on his hands and asked, "Where is the token proving that Luo Congyun is the princess?"
The maid felt the coldness of the dagger, and her back was covered in sweat. She didn't dare to hide anything and pointed to a box at the head of the bed and said, "There."
Wei Qingyan held the maid to a dagger and opened the box.
Inside the box was a pair of tiger-head shoes and a small bellyband with a tiger head embroidered on it. The embroidery was extremely simple and not very good, with some stitches even being uneven.
She looked through it carefully and asked the maid, "Are there any more?"
The maid shook her head, "These are all the young lady has."
Wei Qingyan caught the meaning behind the maid's words, "Who else has a token?"
"Mrs. Wu, but I don't know what kind of lady she is."
Seeing that she was quite honest, Wei Qingyan said nothing for a moment, took out a pill and put it into her mouth, then tapped her back twice, and the pill went down her throat.
"This is a soul-extinguishing poison. If there's no antidote within half a month, your intestines will rupture and you'll die. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. I'll come get the contents of this box in a few days and give you the antidote."
Wei Qingyan's tone was indescribably cold.
"But if you dare to reveal even a single word, no one in your family in Linzhou will survive."
She knew that for an adopted daughter like Luo Congyun, who was valued by the Luo family, her personal maid must be chosen from among the Luo family's illegitimate children.
The maidservant was first poisoned, and then threatened by Wei Qingyan with his family. She knelt down and begged for mercy, "I dare not. I have never seen the hero."
Wei Qingyan looked at her quietly for a moment, put away the dagger, signaled the maid to help Luo Congyun put on her clothes, and asked her some questions, but there was not much useful information. Then he untied Luo Congyun's acupoints and quickly left the Wu Mansion.
Luo Congyun woke up slowly and saw the maid crying and trembling, "Miss, you are awake. You just fainted from the pain. I was scared to death."
Seeing that the maidservant looked very frightened, she thought that she was frightened by her own situation. Her stomach was aching again and she had no energy to think about anything else.
But she didn't know that the maid was frightened by Wei Qingyan.
As soon as Wei Qingyan walked out of the street of Wu Mansion, he saw Shi Yu waiting there.
"The doctor has already entered the Wu residence. I asked him to do his best to preserve the fetus. Did I misunderstand the young lady?"
There is nothing wrong with that.
That’s what Wei Qingyan thought.
"Your Highness, have you thought about how to get Luo Chengzhou to agree to a divorce?"
Those bandits were actually arranged by Luo Chengzhou.
They did shameful things on the carriage on the way to Beijing, right under Yan Lan's nose, which shows how arrogant they were in the Luo family before.
Wei Qingyan sharpened his knife.
Shi Yu had already made plans for the divorce.
Seeing that Wei Qingyan looked like he was about to kill someone, he frowned and said, "I am available at any time. Does Miss Chang have any other plans?"
The Wei Qingyan he knew was very protective of his enemies and never showed mercy to them.
But he wanted to keep the fetus, because he wanted to expose the brother and sister's filthiness to the public.
Wei Qingyan stared at him and thought for a moment before saying, "In your opinion, when will Wu Yuchu's funeral be held?"
"The current emperor values his reputation above all else. The murder of his Minister of War in his own home is no longer a glorious matter. If his Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice continue to fail to identify the murderer, his face will be even more disgraced."
Shi Yu raised the corner of his lips with a faint smile, "This prince guesses that the case will be solved within half a month."
As for whether the real culprit can be found, that is another matter.
The real murderer Wei Qingyan nodded without changing his expression, which was similar to what she had calculated.
Yan Lan can rest for three to five days, and a round trip to Hubaoling will take about six or seven days, so he can still make it in time.
After careful consideration, Wei Qingyan was about to speak when he heard Shi Yu say, "Don't worry, Miss Chang. I will make sure Yan Lan leaves the Luo family cleanly before his evil deeds are exposed."
Wei Qingyan's dark eyes swept over him. When did this man become a worm in her stomach?
That feeling of confusion came over me again, and my brows tightened and then relaxed.
"Miss Chang, did you gain anything tonight?" Shi Yu's words interrupted her train of thought again.
Thinking of Luo Congyun's identity, his brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.
Shi Yu endured it again and again, and finally restrained himself from reaching out to smooth her brows.
Then Wei Qingyan heard him ask, "Your Highness, do you know if the Emperor has other daughters, or women who are not in the palace?"
