Chapter 249 The Fat Monk’s Identity
When the crown prince was deposed, Mingxi felt it was jarring to see Wei Qingyan being supported by the National Protection Army.
He spoke again, “Or, you are simply a fake, after all, everyone in the world knows that the Protector of the Nation is loyal and brave, and loves his soldiers like his own sons.
He was definitely not the type to abandon his soldiers and escape for their lives during a war, but at that time, the Beiling Army was besieged, and Uncle Rong Wang once said that when he arrived, no one in the National Protection Army was alive.
If you were the real Wei Qingyan, would you have escaped early, or feigned death, or allowed your uncle to deceive the emperor, secretly hiding you, and then deceiving your father and the world by saying that you died in battle?"
He was deposed from the throne of crown prince because of the Wei Qingyan case, but this man was still alive and had not revealed his identity before. His heart was evil.
What made him even more shocked and angry was that he received news that Wei Qingyan was actually the daughter of that bitch Lan Shu, and also his father's eldest daughter.
As early as last year, she returned to the capital and appeared in public as Chang Qingnian from Anyuan Marquis's Mansion. She colluded with Shi Yu and caused him to end up like this.
The emperor already knew her identity and had privately acknowledged her as his daughter. He even brought her with him to help with state affairs in the past few months.
He thought it was absurd to let a woman read memorials and participate in state affairs, but his father was old and confused, and had been bewitched by Lan Shu, and was very likely to do something even crazier.
He would never allow such a thing to happen. The late emperor had said that the eldest son of the legitimate wife should be the heir. This world is his and can only be his.
What does it matter if Wei Qingyan is alive? Even if he wants her to be alive, it is not legitimate.
Escaping from the battlefield was certainly not something Wei Qingyan would do. The only reason she survived was that Shi Yu arrived in time and concealed the news of her life.
He wanted to see how deep the relationship between Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu was. Would Wei Qingyan admit that he was a cowardly deserter, or would he betray Shi Yu and make him end up as a traitor to the emperor?
No matter how partial my father is to her, he must give an explanation to the people of the world.
He stared at Wei Qingyan sinisterly, the excitement in his eyes difficult to conceal. Today, whether it was to pull Wei Qingyan off the altar and make her bear the stigma of a deserter, or to convict Shi Yu of the crime of deceiving the emperor.
For him, these are all great things. One day, he will have the opportunity to repay the two of them a thousand times for all the suffering he has endured these days.
Leng San and other national defense soldiers also looked at Wei Qingyan. They also wanted to know how the general survived.
Wei Qingyan was not surprised that the deposed prince would take the opportunity to sneak out of the East Palace when something happened in the palace.
It was just a little surprising. Now that he had been crippled, it was not a wise move for him to go against her at this moment.
However, she had already thought about this question when she decided to become Wei Qingyan again. "That day, I was seriously injured and passed out. Monk Yilian rescued me before Prince Rong's army arrived."
This was the fat monk's excuse to her.
But he didn't say that Shi Yu rushed to Huangshaling before the army. This was not a lie, but he just missed out on important information.
At first, she had never thought that Prince Shi Yu would disregard his own life and death and rush to rescue her without waiting for the army. People also naturally thought that Prince Rong must have reached Huangshaling with Prince Rong's army.
Today, she borrowed the fat monk's words to explain why she was still alive.
After all, the truth about resurrection from the dead cannot be told to outsiders.
"I've never heard of that monk you mentioned. I'm afraid you're just making this up. How could he have broken through the Beiling Army and rescued you all by himself?"
The deposed crown prince sneered, "Even if you lie, you have to find an excuse that will convince everyone. Stop quibbling and tell everyone, did you escape early, or did Prince Rong deceive the world?"
"What I'm telling you is the truth," Wei Qingyan looked at him coldly, "Your Majesty will decide whether it's true or not."
Wei Qingyan knew very well what the intention of deposing the Crown Prince was. She had already said what she wanted to say. Those who wanted to believe it could believe it, and those who didn't want to believe it and deliberately made trouble like deposing the Crown Prince, she was too lazy to say more to him.
When the deposed crown prince heard her words, it seemed that she was relying on the emperor's power and was fearless, which made him even more angry, "I think you are just a fake.
Since Shi Yu is not of royal blood, he sought you out to impersonate Wei Qingyan in order to steal the military power of the National Protection Army."
He heard clearly what the rebel had just said. Besides, Wei Qingyan was his father's daughter, so Shi Yu could not be his father's brother.
After all, he would step on as many of these two people as he could.
At the same time, he felt even more uneasy. He wondered how much his father valued Lan Shu and her daughter that he didn't even care about Shi Yu's life experience and helped to conceal it from the world.
"You're talking nonsense. This is our general."
Leng San couldn't help but stand in front of Wei Qingyan and said, "I, Leng San, have watched the general grow up and have been with him for many years. Even if I recognize the wrong person, I will not recognize the wrong general."
"Yes, General, your martial arts skills are better than before, but your moves are still the same. We will not admit our mistakes."
The National Protection Army echoed this.
"Then she should call the monk out and show it to everyone."
There was always a hint of sarcasm on the corner of the deposed prince's lips. He simply didn't believe that such a person existed.
"Don't just pick out a random monk. After all, the one who can save people from tens of thousands of Beiling soldiers is no ordinary person. He won't be able to fight with you for a few moves before the gang is broken up."
He was warning Wei Qingyan that even if she really pulled a monk out, he would send someone to test whether the monk was real or fake.
Without Wei Qingyan saying anything, the emperor's voice rang out, "Master Yilian is indeed no ordinary person.
It was with the help of Master Yilian that the late emperor was able to successfully pass the Yin-Yang Road of the Sword-Forging Villa and persuade the Sword-Forging Villa to offer 100,000 weapons.
General Wei and many other civil and military officials were also introduced to the late emperor through Master Yilian, and eventually followed him."
When the deposed prince saw the emperor come out to speak for Wei Qingyan, he was extremely angry in his heart, but he bowed respectfully on the surface.
The emperor glanced at the deposed crown prince and said, "You may not have heard of the name Yilian, but you must have heard that before the late emperor accomplished his great cause, he had a military advisor named Wu Lian by his side. Yilian is Wu Lian."
Military Advisor Wu Lian?
Shi Mingxi had been the crown prince of Wei for so many years, so he was naturally familiar with the history of the founding of Wei.
Military Advisor Wu Lian seemed to appear out of nowhere and defected to the late emperor. Not only was he a great planner, but his skills were also unfathomable. He once single-handedly defeated thousands of troops, broke into the enemy city, opened the city gate, and helped the late emperor capture the enemy city without losing a single soldier.
It is indeed possible that such a person could break into Huangshaling and rescue Wei Qingyan.
But, "Didn't Military Advisor Wu Lian die in battle a long time ago?"
The emperor faced the ministers who were coming from afar, and raised his voice slightly, "Death in battle is just an external statement.
Seeing that the late emperor's great cause was about to be accomplished, the military advisor was not interested in fame and glory. In order to avoid those who were not in the know from accusing the late emperor of not tolerating meritorious officials in the future, he pretended to be dead and retired, and became the monk Yilian again.
So, do you think he has the ability to save Wei Qingyan?"
Shi Mingxi never expected that there really was such a person. The military advisor had actually retired, so why did he bother to meddle in other people's business and rescue Wei Qingyan.
If Wei Qingyan had died in that battle, the truth about Huangshaling would not have been uncovered, his mother would not have died, and he would still be the crown prince.
Yes, when he knew that Wei Qingyan was still alive, he understood that from Wu Yuchu's death to the Huangshaling incident being gradually revealed, it was all Wei Qingyan's revenge.
He thought it was Shi Yu who secretly rescued Wei Qingyan, but it turned out to be that damn military advisor.
How could he accept this? "As my father said, Monk Yilian is Wu Lian's military advisor. Now that he has retired, why did he go to rescue Wei Qingyan? If he rescued him, why didn't he send him back to the capital?"
"Because Master Yilian also has another identity: he is the late emperor's half-brother and my uncle.
Qingyan is my daughter, and he was entrusted by General Wei. Do you think he has any reason to save her?
As for why he didn't send Qingyan back to Beijing, it was because Qingyan was seriously injured and had lost his memory. He had to lie in bed for half a year before he could get out of bed.
Master Yilian took pity on her for having worked so hard for the Shi family for so many years, so he could not bear to reveal her true identity and allowed her to live a leisurely life for a few years.
So, if you have any further questions, I will answer them all."
When Wei Qingyan heard this, he suddenly looked up at the emperor.
The fat monk is actually the late emperor’s younger brother?
Did the late emperor learn his evil magic from the fat monk?
Does the fat monk know that the late emperor is taking lives?
Why did the fat monk never tell her this?
And what about the father asking the fat monk to save him?
