Chapter 251 The Late Emperor Appears
The emperor stood up and put his hand on Wei Qingyan's head. "Father knows what you are worried about, but things may not be as bad as you think."
Wei Qingyan's mind seemed to freeze, and it took a long time before it started working again.
When the Red Lotus Mark was formed between her eyebrows, some abilities were born with it. She wanted to learn more, but the fat monk always said that there was no need to learn, your abilities will slowly awaken in the future, there is no need to rush, you will naturally learn when the time comes.
He said that the Red Lotus Seal was a seal of merit, refined from the merits she had accumulated while protecting the Great Wei, and she believed him.
But my father said that the fat monk was born with a red lotus between his eyebrows, but the fat monk she knew never had a red lotus between his eyebrows.
Right? The Merit Seal is actually the red lotus mark of the fat monk.
If so, then what she took away was the fat monk's soul.
Wei Qingyan couldn't stop crying and wanted to find the fat monk immediately.
She jumped up from the chair, but after taking two steps, she froze in place again.
She thought of her father's intention in asking her to read the imperial edict.
Wei Qingyan's identity had just been restored, and her father had issued a self-criticism edict. She didn't know what kind of commotion would happen outside, and she couldn't leave yet. The matter of the little ghost had not been dealt with, the whereabouts of the late emperor had not been found, and the matter of Huangshaling also needed to be resolved.
She couldn't go find the fat monk yet. Realizing this, Wei Qingyan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
Maybe she was overthinking it. The fat monk was so powerful, he would be fine.
For the first time, she felt powerless and squatted on the ground. Tears blurred her vision, but her memories of getting along with the fat monk became clearer and clearer.
"Who am I, and where do all these injuries come from?"
"I calculated with my fingers that you are probably a bandit woman from some mountain. You kidnapped someone's young man, and the man's wife was so angry that she hired someone to beat you into this state.
You must cover your face when you go out in the future, and don't let people see your appearance. If you do, I won't save you a second time."
"Fat monk, we are not related at all, why are you so nice to me?"
"Don't flatter me. This is me practicing cultivation. When I succeed, you, this annoying girl, can go wherever you want. Don't ruin my free and easy life in this world."
"Fat monk, don't sleep anymore. Auntie broke Magistrate Liu's leg, and the officials are coming to the inn to arrest us."
"Then what are you waiting for? Run... I say, my two aunts, can you please not provoke the government officials in the future? I am not afraid of them, but it will be troublesome.
I once flirted with the eighteenth concubine of a powerful family in the capital. You are afraid that she won't discover my stunning beauty."
…
It turns out that everything has a traceable path.
She was stupid, and felt at ease enjoying the kindness of the fat monk.
The emperor saw Wei Qingyan crying silently, and his heart was also very upset. "It's all because of my father's incompetence. I need your help at this time. Ten days, at most, you can stay in the capital for another ten days, and then my father will let you go to find him, okay?"
Wei Qingyan shook his head, then nodded.
After all, everything her father did today was for her. How could she just abandon everything and run away?
The emperor understood what she meant. He shook his head to show that he did not blame his father, and nodded to show that he agreed to leave the capital in ten days.
Wei Qingyan remembered something and asked, "Where's my mother?"
"I asked her to look after the little ghost. If you want to see her, we'll go over there now."
The little ghost was in the side hall, still unconscious, and Lan Shu was looking at her with a sword in her arms.
Seeing Wei Qingyan's eyes were red, as if she had been crying, she asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Although the emperor had already made arrangements for the little ghost's rebellion, he was still worried about chaos, so he initially asked Lan Shu to protect Madam Wei.
After the rebellion was pacified, she was asked to keep an eye on the little ghost, so Lan Shu still didn't know the identity of the fat monk.
The emperor briefly explained the situation, and Lan Shu's expression changed.
After all these years of getting along, the fat monk became like a father to her, and she was also worried about the fat monk.
Wei Qingyan asked, "Mother, when you saw the fat monk before, did he have a red lotus mark between his eyebrows?"
Her only hope was that the fat monk's mark was always there, but he had covered it up with something when he was walking outside. In this way, he must be safe now.
On the contrary, Wei Qingyan didn’t dare to think too deeply about what would happen to people who had lost their souls.
Lan Shu replied quickly, "No."
There was almost no need to think about it, because a monk with such a birthmark between his eyebrows would definitely be very conspicuous, and she would definitely not forget it.
After replying, she also understood the meaning of Wei Qingyan's question, "Perhaps he felt that it was not good for a man to have such a mark, so he covered it up. Yours is just a seal of merit."
It's not his life soul.
But I also feel that the possibility is not high. The Red Lotus Mark is not an ordinary thing. How could it be such a coincidence that the fat monk has it and the daughter also has it, and it is the daughter who was resurrected by the fat monk.
Although she thought so, Lan Shu couldn't bear to see her daughter feel bad and blame herself, so she comforted her, "Honglian has been in your body for three years, and during these three years, the fat monk looked just like an ordinary person.
Qingyan, maybe we are worrying too much. The fat monk is the most powerful person I have ever seen. He will definitely be fine. Don’t think too much. When the capital is stable, I will accompany you to find him.
We'll find him, okay?"
At this time, in the high-ranking mansion of the capital, a black-clad secret guard stood in front of the beaded curtain and reported, "Master, we have the whereabouts of the monk."
A woman's voice came from behind the screen, "Pack your luggage and set off immediately."
"Yes." The secret guard paused for a moment, then continued, "The emperor posted a confession of guilt at the palace gate, admitting his fault on your behalf."
"What did you say?" The beaded curtain was quickly lifted, revealing a dazzling face. Her originally bright face was now tinged with anger due to the secret guard's words. "Tell me again, what did he do?"
She spoke with gritted teeth, enunciating each word.
The secret guard had no choice but to repeat, "His Majesty has issued an edict of repentance for you, revealing publicly that you had Madam Wei switch the child, and that you had Crown Prince Feng Zhao brought to the Wei Dynasty.
Regarding King Jing's rebellion, they explained that Su Mao of the previous dynasty had impersonated King Jing, and that the real King Jing had long been murdered by Su Mao. The Emperor blamed Su Mao for everything King Jing had done..."
The secret guard's voice gradually became lower.
The emperor was willing to clear King Jing's name, but he wanted to make public what the previous emperor had done.
Right now, the palace gate is filled with voices cursing the master, no matter how ugly the words are. The master is very concerned about his reputation. He really can't imagine how furious the master would be if he heard those words.
Most emperors want to be recorded in history, which is also the pursuit of the master, but now the master described by the historian is likely to be infamous.
"Rebellious son, all of them are rebellious sons." The woman's beautiful eyes were full of cruelty. The emperor was cruel, and the little devil was even more cruel. He just asked her to keep Shi Qian's body as a backup, but he dared to have such a big ambition and rebel.
The most hateful person is Wei Qingyan. If Wei Qingyan had not come back, he would have cut off contact with the little ghost because he was worried that Wei Qingyan would find out about him. With him under control, how could the little ghost dare to act recklessly?
Now, everything in the capital was ruined by her, forcing him, a king, to hide behind a woman.
If he had known that Wei Qingyan was so hateful and would ruin his plans, Xie should have strangled him to death.
But right now, there were more important things than being angry. He let out a deep breath and said, "I'll settle this account with them when I return. Let's go."
The secret guard breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as the secret guard said, the palace gate had exploded.
Upon learning that the emperor had issued a self-criticism edict on behalf of the previous emperor, the people rushed to tell each other and crowded at the palace gate. After being shocked by the news, they began to curse.
At first they were still cautious, but when they saw that the imperial guards and palace maids were standing quietly by and no one was trying to stop them, the people became much bolder.
The National Protection Army was even more furious. The old general was loyal to the late emperor, but the late emperor cheated on him and plotted against him in many ways.
