Chapter 317 Is It Venerable?
Regardless of who Qing Wu is, she acknowledged Shi Yu's identity by calling herself aunt.
Shi Yu held Wei Qingyan's hand, walked to the side of the carriage together, and greeted Qingwu.
Qing Wu looked at Shi Yu wantonly, without any concealment. After a long moment, she said, "Fortunately, you don't look like the Queen, otherwise I would hate you as well."
Without waiting for the two to speak, her eyes fell on a corner of the government office.
Cao Yizhao was sitting in a wheelchair, playing with a small wooden horse. He had been eating and sleeping with Lord Chu all the way, so he was quite familiar with him.
But when he set out for Laifengzhao, Manager Cao saw him off at the city gate and told Cao Yizhao to find Shi Yu if he had anything. He was also surprised that Cao Yizhao seemed to be naturally close to Shi Yu, and he pulled Shi Yu's sleeve and called him brother.
Along the way, no matter how much Lord Chu cared for him, he would always talk about looking for his brother and wanting to see him every day.
This time, Shi Yu went to Yang Mansion with a purpose. It was inconvenient to bring Cao Yizhao with him, so he asked Cao Yizhao to follow Lord Chu to the inn.
Today, Lord Chu came to help, and Cao Yizhao happened to be asking for his brother, so he brought him along.
Qing Wu raised her arm softly, pointed casually at Cao Yizhao, and ordered, "Bring him to me and return to the imperial city."
"aunt……"
"inappropriate."
Xiao Zhian and Shi Yu spoke at the same time.
Shi Yu said, "He has the intelligence of a three-year-old child and is very shy. He will probably cry non-stop if he follows the princess."
"What I want is for him to cry."
Qing Wu snorted softly, "His mother stole my nephew away, causing my brother to be seriously injured in the fire and eventually die young. The son has to pay for his mother's debt. How can I be so kind as a bodhisattva?
As for you, he is the son of your enemy. Are you buying into the Queen's hypocrisy and are you still trying to protect the son of your enemy?"
While she was speaking, Rong Yu had already jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards Cao Yizhao. Wei Qingyan teleported ahead of Rong Yu and stood in front of Cao Yizhao.
Wei Qingyan smiled and said, "Before coming to Fengzhao, my husband was asked by a friend to look after Cao Yizhao, so he couldn't go back on his word."
Shopkeeper Cao begged them to take care of Cao Yizhao, and they agreed to protect him.
Wei Qingyan's speed made Qingwu's pupils shrink slightly, "What if I insist on taking him away?"
"Don't... Bao'er, don't..."
Cao Yizhao realized belatedly that someone was trying to snatch him away. He howled, dropped the wooden horse in his hand, and spread his arms towards Shi Yu, "Brother... Baoer is scared... Baoer is scared..."
When Wei Qingyan teleported past, Shi Yu walked towards Cao Yizhao. Hearing him crying, he stretched out a hand for him to hold, "Don't be afraid."
From the initial discomfort and unfamiliarity, Shi Yu had naturally learned how to comfort Cao Yizhao along the way.
Cao Yizhao held his hand and stopped crying. He poked his head out from behind Shi Yu and looked at Qingwu. Seeing that Qingwu was still staring at him, he quickly retracted his head and held Shi Yu's hand tightly.
"Brother, Bao'er won't leave, won't leave."
Shi Yu hummed lightly.
Qing Wu watched this scene in silence for a few breaths, then pulled down the curtain and said lazily, "Let's go, Rongyu."
He came suddenly and left inexplicably.
Wei Qingyan looked at the carriage going away and pondered what Qingwu had just said.
Although there is a saying that a son pays for his mother's debts, Cao Yizhao is as mentally retarded as a child. Qingwu even knows about what happened to Xiao Zhian at Princess Yu's manor, so it is impossible for her not to know about Cao Yizhao's situation.
The dignified Princess Qingwu would not embarrass a three-year-old child, so why would she take Cao Yizhao away?
Empress Feng Zhao also instructed to bring Cao Yizhao back. Could it be that Cao Yizhao has some secret?
But in the end Princess Qingwu gave up easily.
As early as when he knew his identity, Shi Yu sent people from the pharmacy to sneak into Fengzhao to find out the situation there.
As for Qing Wu's character, they learned that if she wanted something, she would definitely get it. Even if she had to face Empress Feng Zhao, she would not stop until she got what she wanted.
Therefore, she stood in front of Cao Yizhao as the Crown Princess of Wei. She originally thought that there would be some entanglement, but unexpectedly, she just left like that.
She looked at Shi Yu and saw that Shi Yu was also frowning slightly. It seemed that he was also thinking about Princess Qingwu's actions today.
"Trojan horse, Baoer's Trojan horse." When Cao Yizhao saw that everyone had left and knew it was safe, he thought of his toys again.
Only after Dong Zang handed him the wooden horse did he let go of Shi Yu's hand.
Qing Wu suddenly appeared. Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan wanted to follow and investigate, but then they saw Jing Zhe approaching with a man under his arm. "Master, someone really wanted to burn the body. Three of them died, leaving one alive. They said it was Yang Hezhi who ordered it."
After saying this, he noticed the body on the ground and said in surprise, "Dead? Died so soon, it was too easy for him."
What he didn't know, someone would tell him. As for the bodies, now that Yang Hezhi's conspiracy had been exposed, the families of the deceased would go and claim them.
Xiao Zhian and Lin Lanting will also handle the remaining matters of the case.
He and Wei Qingyan quietly left the government office and followed Qingwu's carriage.
"Yang Hezhi's death was indeed too easy."
When only two people were left, Wei Qingyan whispered, "There's no useful information in the resentment screen."
She was a little disappointed. She thought that the scene of Yang Hezhi's resentment would be interesting, but she didn't expect it to be a scene of his parents making love.
This scumbag.
"Yang Hezhi wanted to take advantage of the conflict between Qingwu and the Queen to escape, but it seems he only has a superficial understanding of Qingwu.
From this point of view, in Yang Hezhi's cognition, Qingwu is not the Venerable, unless he has never seen the Venerable's true appearance.
But he was so arrogant and fearless before, and he obviously knew about his status as a Venerable and relied on it. If we infer this way, Qingwu cannot be a Venerable."
Shi Yu knew what Wei Qingyan was thinking and continued, "But we can't rule out the possibility that they are acting."
Wei Qingyan nodded. The Gu Master mentioned by Princess Ling before was willing to die in order to keep the secret, so Yang Hezhi could also put on a show to conceal the identity of the Venerable.
In particular, they heard from Xiao Zhian that Princess Qingwu had a lover when she was young, but no one knew why she didn't get married, and no one knew who her lover was.
Because she asked Emperor Feng Zhao to agree to grant her a marriage, but before she could say the other party's name, a palace coup occurred.
On the day of the coup, the Crown Prince was in trouble and Emperor Feng Zhao was seriously injured, so she never mentioned the matter again.
The Venerable mentioned by Shi Dehou has a lover whose soul needs to be nurtured. If Princess Qingwu's lover happened to die on the day of the palace coup, then the possibility that she is the Venerable is very high.
But all this is just speculation, and they still need to verify it bit by bit.
In the carriage in the distance, the two favorites were no longer there. Princess Qingwu was dressed neatly and sitting alone in the carriage.
She held a jade pendant in her hand, her eyes red as she whispered, "Brother Emperor, did you see that? Your child, the Imperial Sister, looks like he should be a good one, with eyes as pure and upright as yours."
He is as kind as you and will protect the child. Fortunately, he did not take after his mother, but..."
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "I hope he won't let me down. As for Qian Ning's child, I will also protect his happiness.
Brother Emperor, rest assured, Qingwu will not let anything happen to your children, nor will you wait too long..."
