Chapter 300: Resentment, the Naked Girl Buried Alive
Wei Qingyan originally wanted to go find Xiao Zhian after talking with Wei Shijun, but the Sixth Prince suddenly fell ill.
If it was just the Sixth Prince who was sick, Wei Qingyan was not sure if it was related to Shi Dehou, but Shi Yu suddenly felt very tired.
She was certain that the witchcraft array had been activated again, which meant that Shi Dehou's life was in danger.
Fortunately, Shi Yu was only tired for a moment and recovered quickly, which meant that Shi Dehou was out of danger.
When the lives of his loved ones and relatives were threatened, Wei Qingyan actually hoped that Shi Dehou would be safe. This is the viciousness of Shi Dehou, which is really heartbreaking.
But it also made Wei Qingyan understand that Feng Zhao's trip was imminent.
The Sixth Prince was young and would not recover quickly. After examining him, Wei Qingyan instructed the imperial physician to take good care of him and then went to Lan Shu's palace.
A few days ago, the Ministry of War imitated the Posha and secretly forged an identical sword.
After the Ministry of War finished making the things, they sent them to Lan Shu. Wei Qingyan went to pick them up and then brought them to Feng Zhao.
As bait.
As for the real Posha and Abu, she will stay in Wei.
Abu naturally refused, but Wei Qingyan had her reasons. If the evil spirit took advantage of her absence to cause trouble again, Abu could resist some of it.
"Mom's injuries haven't healed yet, and she's pregnant. I don't trust anyone else, but only with Abu protecting her can I feel at ease."
Abu went with Feng Zhao because he was worried about Wei Qingyan, but he was also worried about his mother, so he had to agree.
The emperor naturally also wanted Abu to stay. As for the blood to support Abu, he was willing to use his own to replace Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu's.
His blood also had the same effect on Abu. Qingyan said that this was a great merit of his, which surprised him greatly, as he always felt that he was not a good emperor.
But none of this is important. What is important is that he can raise his son again with his own blood.
After the agreement was reached, Wei Qingyan left the palace with the fake Posha and focused on preparing to go to Fengzhao.
Since she had promised Wei Shijun what to do, she didn't have to go.
Because she had left the Wei family not long ago, Lin Lanting also received a letter from Feng Zhao, saying that Queen Feng Zhao was ill and hoped that they would return soon.
The two left the Wei Mansion that day. Before leaving, Lin Lanting promised the Wei family that if Wei San was willing to marry, he would marry her.
If Wei San is unwilling, he will discipline Xiao Zhian and will not let him do whatever he wants.
In fact, Xiao Zhian knew what was going on in his mind. Although he visited several times, he did not let outsiders know that he was there to propose marriage. He only said that he admired General Wei.
Therefore, he wanted to exchange martial arts with the old guard beside him, and by the way, take care of his injured uncle who could not take care of himself.
The servants of the Wei family would not ruin the reputation of their own girl, and Feng Zhao and the others had received Xiao Zhian's order to keep their mouths shut, so they did not dare to say much.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the group to set off.
Xiao Zhian had been away from home for almost two years when he finally found his brother. His brother also got married. Bringing his brother and sister-in-law back this time was a perfect trip.
His worries about his mother's health and his longing for his hometown made him wish he could grow a pair of wings on his back.
But Lin Lanting was seriously injured and could not ride a horse, so he could only take a carriage, and the carriage had to travel slowly so as not to shake him.
Lin Lanting was born a military general, so he was not afraid of the hardship of the journey. However, he was followed by many civil officials who were unable to lift or carry anything. Some were from Fengzhao, while others were from the Wei Dynasty who accompanied the Crown Princess on a diplomatic mission to Fengzhao.
They all traveled in carriages, so the whole team was not moving very fast.
Xiao Zhian was like a monkey with its butt on fire. He rode his horse for a while, waited for the team for a while, got impatient and returned to the team. He walked with the team for a while, and then couldn't help running for a while, back and forth.
Lin Lanting lay in the carriage, listening to the sound of horse hooves outside the window, frowning and thinking about his worries.
As soon as he and Xiao Zhian returned to the posthouse, Lord Chu went to the Cao family in person to pick up Cao Yizhao. It was so quick that it was obvious that he had made preparations in advance.
And right now, Cao Yizhao is sitting in Lord Chu's carriage, being taken care of personally by his long-time attendant, so thoughtfully.
Lord Chu used to be a relatively upright official and a supporter of imperial power, while Cao Yizhao was the son of the third sister, who was involved in treason.
According to Lord Chu's previous temperament, he should keep his distance from Cao Yizhao, or even look down on him.
Why is it like this now?
Lin Lanting couldn't figure it out, so when the sound of horse hooves approached again, he called Xiao Zhian in, "I see that you are in good spirits. Why don't you go to Lord Chu's carriage and accompany Cao Yizhao?"
"I'm not going." Xiao Zhian shook his head. "He probably can't bear to leave the Cao family. He cries all the time, and I can't comfort him."
"Then you can bear to watch Mr. Chu, a grown man, do the work of taking care of a child?"
"I can't bear it, but I think Mr. Chu likes Cao Yizhao very much and is very patient in coaxing him."
He suddenly approached Lin Lanting and whispered, "Uncle, isn't Lord Chu too kind to Cao Yizhao? To the point that I suspect Cao Yizhao is not the emperor's uncle's child, but his."
Lin Lanting glanced at Xiao Zhian, his eyes dark, "How about you go and check it out?"
Zhi'an could sense that Lord Chu treated Cao Yizhao differently, but he subconsciously did not want to suspect that it was the Queen's order. Isn't this also a form of escape?
Xiao Zhian was afraid that Lin Lanting really wanted him to go find Lord Chu, so he hurried out of the carriage, and the sound of horse hooves clattered again and again.
Wei Shijun understood Xiao Zhian's eagerness to return home, but she always loved to sleep when she was bored, especially when she was on a journey like this, it was best to sleep in the carriage. However, several times when she was drowsy, she was woken up by the sound of horse hooves.
He was so angry that he could no longer bear it, so he snatched the guard's horse and chased after him. Xiao Zhian was very bored, so he just thought that Wei Lao San was accompanying him in horse racing.
Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu sat in the carriage, listening to the sound of horses galloping outside, as well as the occasional shouting and cursing from Wei Shijun, and the sound of Xiao Zhian either laughing or begging for mercy.
They smiled at each other.
They naturally knew Lord Chu's attitude towards Cao Yizhao, and Lord Chu might not be unaware of it. They noticed something was wrong.
But even Lin Lanting, a Fengzhao, couldn't figure it out, so they chose to wait and see.
In the carriage behind them, Qian Shiheng had a heavy face. This trip to Fengzhao was requested by him. After what happened to Shen Hongxing and others, he felt that he had been too naive and only focused on learning. He wanted to go out and gain some experience.
After leaving Beijing, he thought that if Wang Zhi and the others had not died, they would soon be able to leave Beijing like him and pursue their dreams.
But with the death of the person, everything was in vain, and he felt extremely heavy in his heart.
Jingzhe also felt heavy in his heart. He expressed his feelings to Yan Lan, but was rejected. He felt depressed all the way.
Only Xiao Zhian seemed to have endless energy. After more than a month, he didn't show any sign of tiredness from the journey.
On this day, after entering Fengzhao, Xiao Zhian returned to his long-lost hometown. The first thing he did was to order his followers to buy a lot of Fengzhao specialty food.
He happily jumped onto Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu's carriage with the food box in hand, "Brother Crown Prince, sister-in-law, come and try Feng Zhao's flavor."
However, Wei Qingyan had no intention of responding to him because she was filled with resentment.
Seeing Wei Qingyan's serious expression and frown, Xiao Zhian asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Wei Qingyan was silent for a few breaths, then pointed his finger at Xiao Zhian's brow.
Xiao Zhian only felt a white mist in front of his eyes. When the mist dispersed, he saw many young women, whose clothes were stripped off one by one.
Finally, the naked body is placed in the coffin, and at the last moment when the heavy coffin lid is closed, the blood vessels on the body will be untied.
The girls, their hands now free, were trapped in a dark coffin. They slapped the lid, struggled, and scratched.
The air became thinner and thinner. The girl opened her mouth wide, her chest aching from the inability to breathe and her body arched. Her nails left scratches on the hard coffin lid.
Long after Wei Qingyan's hand withdrew, Xiao Zhian could still hear the harsh sound of his long nails scratching on the coffin lid.
It was the first time he had seen such a cruel death. He turned pale, his mouth open, as if he couldn't breathe. After a long moment, he asked in a trembling voice, "What are you doing?"
Wei Qingyan murmured two words, "Live burial."
This is Fengzhao's territory. The girl who was buried alive was a citizen of Fengzhao, and the resentful scene that Xiao Zhian saw was from the perspective of a person named Ling'er.
To resolve this grudge, Wei Qingyan needs the help of Xiao Zhian, the Prince of Fengzhao, although his pale face makes Wei Qingyan feel that he is a bit cruel.
But Ling'er's resentment is too strong. If it is not resolved in time, she will become a demon and bring disaster to the world.
"Why bury him alive?" Xiao Zhian's voice floated in the air.
Wei Qingyan looked at him and said, "We need to find the answers. Are you willing to seek justice for those girls who died in vain?"
"What should we do?" Xiao Zhian cleared his throat.
