Chapter 269: The Emperor Was Furious to Death
Perhaps because he had cried too much, Wei Qingyan could no longer cry. He sat cross-legged beside Yilian and copied scriptures for him. When he got tired, he lay down beside him and looked at him.
At this point, it really is just one less look.
Since her mother didn't come, she had to read her copy for her mother as well.
Shi Yu stayed by her side, always keeping an eye on the eternal lamp, and occasionally flicking it to prevent it from going out. He didn't say much from beginning to end.
No words of comfort could ease Wei Qingyan's sadness at this moment. He couldn't make her not sad, but what he could do was not let her bear this pain alone.
Except for Yu Liangzhi and Monk Wangchen, Wei Qingyan was like a willful child and would not allow anyone to enter the house to disturb Yilian.
Shi Dehou really wanted to know whether Yilian was really dead. Although Wei Qingyan's grief did not seem fake, Yilian was cunning and he had not been able to catch her for so many years. Wei Qingyan was also very cautious.
He couldn't help but have some doubts.
If he really died, it would be a pity that we couldn't force him to reveal more of his mystical arts and secrets, but death did have its uses.
Yilian's mother is a spirit girl from the Penglai spirit clan. Even if a spirit girl dies, her child will be different from an ordinary person in both body and soul.
What's more, Yilian has been practicing Buddhism for decades, and has been compassionate and doing good deeds. Combined with the two, his cremation after death will surely produce meritorious relics.
With the blessing of the meritorious relics, he can possess the body of anyone he wants. He will no longer be unable to possess bodies of people with low momentum or blood relations due to his lack of skills in possession. He will also have to endure the backlash of violating the laws of nature and repeatedly change bodies to maintain his life.
The resentment absorbed last night was not enough, and the resentful Gu's body was just one step away from completion. Although it could cover up the traces of possession and temporarily deceive Wei Qingyan.
But this is not his goal. What he wants is immortality, to be the only one in the world and to be above all mortals, and to unify the world.
But every time he tried to find out the truth, he was stopped outside the door by Jingzhe. He wanted Ge Feizhou to sneak in secretly, and there was also Wang Chen squatting on the roof. These people were really hateful.
Seeing that she had hit a wall again, Yu Mama returned to her room angrily and tried to comfort her, "Princess, you have such good intentions, but they don't appreciate it. Why do you have to go and suffer the consequences..."
"Get out." Shi Dehou interrupted her irritably.
Seeing that horrifying look again, Nanny Yu shuddered and dared not say anything more. She bowed and retreated.
After a while, Ge Feizhou arrived at Shi Dehou's room and said, "Master, please ask me to deal with Yu Ma."
"Keep it for now."
If Nanny Yu died now, trouble would inevitably arise. Her presence could provide some protection. If she really had to die, she would have died for a good cause.
He said in a deep voice, "Spread the news that Prince Rong and the Crown Princess are in Yizhou, and ask them to come and offer their condolences."
When outsiders come to visit, Wei Qingyan can't just refuse to let everyone into the mourning hall.
In the afternoon, the prefect of Yizhou came to the door with officials of all ranks in Yizhou.
The Crown Princess's teacher died in Yizhou, and the funeral was held in Yizhou City. How dare they not go to pay their respects?
After Wei Qingyan learned about it, he said calmly, "No."
Shi Yu personally went to the door to send everyone away. On the way back to the mourning hall, he met Yanran and her servant who were waiting there.
Her face was filled with concern. "Prince Rong, the princess is so sad that she probably hasn't had a good meal. I asked Nanny Yu to make some soup. Prince Rong, please bring it to the princess and let her have some."
Looking at the food box handed over by Yu Mama, Shi Yu took it and paused. He said, "She is the Crown Princess, the former Protector General Wei Qingyan, and the daughter of the Emperor. Cousin Yanran should respect her as Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess from now on."
Yanran hadn't expected him to confess so suddenly, and she hadn't figured out how to react. Instead, Nanny Yu asked in surprise, "The Protector General is still alive?"
Shi Yu nodded.
Yu Ma slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I was wondering why Your Highness looked so familiar. Yes, it's General Wei dressed as a woman.
General Wei is still alive, that's great. Then, Your Majesty, you... the one you married before..."
Seeing Shi Yu bring up this matter on his own initiative, she dared to ask boldly. She was really curious.
Shi Yu nodded, "Chang Qingnian is Wei Qingyan, your Crown Princess."
After being shocked, Yu Ma Ma repeatedly said, "It's my old slave's poor eyesight that I didn't recognize Your Highness..."
She had previously thought that this woman was Prince Rong's hidden mistress, and that the princess called the woman "Princess" in order to please Prince Rong.
No wonder the servants in the mansion were talking about it before. Minister Du was appreciated by His Majesty, and even his sister caught the emperor's eye. Rewards were poured into the Anyuan Marquis's mansion like water.
This is not appreciation for Minister Du, the emperor is loving his daughter.
That's not right.
Nanny Yu reacted.
Then aren't Prince Rong and the Crown Princess uncle and niece?
Then how can these two people be husband and wife?
Or was it that they were not tolerated by the secular world in the capital, so they hid in Yizhou?
But when they met at the inn, they didn't even pretend, it didn't look like they were hiding. What happened after she left Beijing?
She looked at Princess Yanran, wanting to see the answer from her face.
Yanran had calmed down by now and continued, "Yes, it's great that General Wei is alive. But, in that case, you and her..."
She hesitated to speak, as if she didn't know how to ask.
Shi Yu's expression turned cold and serious. "Like cousin Yanran, I am not of the Shi family's bloodline."
Yanran looked horrified, "You, were also adopted by the Queen Mother?"
"No, I was stolen by that sinister villain of the late emperor." Shi Yu gritted his teeth. "That hypocritical hypocrite is like a rat in the gutter when he is alive. After his death, he deserves to be stabbed in the gutter for eternity."
"How could this happen?" Yanran covered her mouth. "What...what are you going to do?"
Jingzhe said, "It's not about what to do, it's about what has already been done. That bad guy is too evil, too vicious. If I were to ask you, crushing his bones and throwing his ashes into the gutter would be a light punishment. His ashes should be scattered on the street, let the people of Wei trample on them, and then thrown into the gutter."
Shi Yu seemed to not want Jingzhe to say more, so he coughed lightly to interrupt, "I appreciate your kindness, cousin. You guys make preparations. After three days, cremate Master and we will return directly to the capital."
Yanran was so angry at what Shi Yu had just said that her back teeth were almost broken. How could she say anything else? She just nodded to indicate that she understood.
After Shi Yu left, she found an excuse to send Nanny Yu away and returned to her room alone.
Ge Feizhou arrived soon.
Yanran suppressed her anger and said, "Send someone to the imperial mausoleum."
Ge Feizhou was nearby and heard everything Shi Yu and Jingzhe said. He hesitated and asked, "Master, what if they really did this?"
You can't search the sewers in the capital city one by one to fish out the remains of the late emperor, right?
Not to mention reporting to the authorities or informing the emperor.
With the emperor's edict of repentance, the master's reputation has been ruined. I'm afraid that Shi Yu dared to do this with the emperor's tacit approval. After all, he was able to issue the edict of repentance on behalf of his master, which must have made him hate his master.
"Evil son, all of you evil son." Yanran slammed her fist on the table.
Ge Feizhou hesitated and asked, "Master, could it be that they are deliberately testing you?"
Otherwise why would he suddenly say those things.
Yanran thought for a moment and said, "Whether it's a test or not, we need to send someone to the imperial mausoleum to take a look. Besides, I know this little bastard Shi Yu. In his heart, Wei Qingyan is the most important.
Since the Yizhou officials already know Wei Qingyan's identity, there is no need to hide it anymore. He must want everyone to respect Wei Qingyan, so he reminded me to call Wei Qingyan "Your Highness" in the future.
Humph, what a great princess! How dare Shi Jin, this rebellious son, hand over my kingdom to a woman? How great!
Seeing that he was angry, Ge Feizhou did not dare to disobey, so he had to pass on the order and send people back to Beijing to visit the imperial tomb.
Not long after his men left the city, the secret guards of Prince Rong's residence arrived at the mourning hall. "Your Highness, as you expected, someone is indeed galloping towards the capital on horseback."
Wei Qingyan continued, "So, she really is the late emperor, but I can't see any clues. She must have cultivated a body of resentment."
She had already learned from Shi Yu what had just happened outside the door.
Nanny Yu's reaction was the most real. Yanran was a woman in the harem, and she had left the capital with Nanny Yu early. She shouldn't know what Nanny Yu didn't know.
Although she concealed it well, Shi Yu still noticed something unusual, so he and Jingzhe tricked her into throwing the emperor's body into the gutter.
How could a conceited person like the late emperor allow himself to be thrown into the gutter after his death? He would definitely send someone back to the capital to investigate.
