Chapter 319 Confusion
Although Yang Hezhi's diary almost made them certain that Princess Qingwu was the Venerable, they were not so sure after Posha was stolen.
When they came to Fengzhao with the fake Posha, they were prepared to be robbed on the way, but they arrived in Fengzhao smoothly.
Now that Princess Qingwu appeared, she first killed Yang Hezhi, and then Posha was stolen. This almost told them clearly that Qingwu was the Venerable.
Princess Qingwu, who has been able to compete with Queen Feng Zhao for so many years, would not be so stupid.
Either she was so arrogant that she was not afraid of being discovered by them, which was even more impossible. If that was the case, why did she hide her identity before and not dare to reveal it?
"Let Zhian publish Yang Hezhi's diary." Shi Yu ordered the secret guard.
Once the diary is published, the existence of the Venerable will be known to the world. Even if no one knows what he wants to do with those girls, the people of Fengzhao will not be fooled like the people of Wutong County.
The people who have been fooled will be as angry as the people of Wutong County after learning the truth, and may reveal more information.
After reading the diary, Xiao Zhian made the contents public without any hesitation, and ordered someone to make a copy and send it to the imperial city. He gave the original to Lin Lanting for safekeeping.
"Zhi'an, if you do this, the queen might be unhappy." Lin Lanting reminded.
Not everyone supports the Queen ruling the country. Now that something like this has happened, some people will definitely take the opportunity to blame the Queen for her incompetence.
Those in power value their reputation the most, but Yu Zhian's revelation was like a slap in the face of the queen.
Xiao Zhian's face was calm, and he was rarely serious in front of Lin Lanting. "Uncle, this is what happened. If what is said in Yang Hezhi's diary is true, then there are countless girls like Yang Ling'er who have been killed in Fengzhao.
Forty-nine at a time, ten times would be four hundred and ninety, or even more. I can't just keep this a secret to save my mother's face. My mother is diligent in her work and loves the people, so she will definitely support me."
Seeing his resolute expression, Lin Lanting finally just patted his head and said, "You have grown up."
"Isn't it good to grow up?" Xiao Zhian asked back.
"Well, people always have to grow up."
Yes, he is eighteen years old and can no longer ignore worldly affairs.
Previously, he thought that all he had to do was find his brother, the Crown Prince. However, starting from Wang Zhi’s death, he realized that some things were not as simple as he thought.
"Uncle, please don't let Mother know that the Crown Prince was involved in this, okay?"
Lin Lanting immediately understood what he meant. Worried that the Queen might vent her anger on Shi Yu, she nodded and said, "Alright."
After all, the relationship between the Empress and Zhi'an is deeper.
The two did not hide these words from Shi Yu's secret guards, and soon the secret guards conveyed the words verbatim to Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan.
The two looked at each other, and their minds became clear. Zhi'an really understood everything.
Shi Yu ordered the secret guards to keep an eye on Princess Qingwu's movements. If she was a venerable, she would definitely take action if the matter was exposed.
But Qingwu was normal. Apart from visiting a teahouse once, he stayed in the inn the rest of the time.
Three days later, when everyone set out to return to Fengzhao, she appeared outside the city gate and wanted to go back to Fengzhao with them.
Xiao Zhian couldn't say no, so he asked directly, "Aunt, why did you suddenly come to Wutong County?"
She appeared so suddenly that day that Xiao Zhian had no time to ask. He was busy dealing with the affairs of Wutong County in the following days. Even though he knew Qingwu was staying in Wutong County, he had no time to see her.
It was not until the Queen's express horse brought the imperial edict, ordering Lord Chu to stay and handle the remaining matters, that he took time off and led the envoy team back to Fengzhao.
When I saw Qingwu today, I asked her about the doubts in my heart.
Qing Wu raised her hand to cover her lips and yawned. "I'm so bored in the Imperial City. I heard you were back, so I came to see you. Why can't I come and greet my nephew?"
Xiao Zhian smiled, "Auntie misunderstood, Zhian was just curious."
At first, when Qingwu killed Yang Hezhi, he thought she was just used to doing whatever she wanted and was disgusted with Yang Hezhi using his name. But when he saw Yang Hezhi's diary and thought that there was someone behind Yang Hezhi, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
He couldn't hide his emotions, and Qing Wu saw through his thoughts at a glance, but she only snorted, "Aren't we leaving yet? This shabby place doesn't even have a decent place to play. I miss the Imperial City."
At the same time, in a place no one could see, a black shadow quietly got into Wei Qingyan's carriage.
After a moment, Wei Qingyan whispered to Shi Yu, "Ling'er said that when Qingwu and her lover were having sex, she was right beside them, and there was nothing unusual about them."
Continue to have sex as if no one is around.
This cannot be used as evidence that Qingwu is not a Venerable, because she may have noticed Ling'er's surveillance, but did not care about a resentful bystander.
But there is one thing.
The living dead are just like her before. Although they have no breathing or pulse, they still have thoughts and consciousness.
If Qingwu is a Venerable, she would have gone to so much trouble to set up a life-defying formation to support her lover in the human world. Qingwu must love him very much, and he might be right next to her. How could she do those intimate things with another man?
"I used to suspect that her keeping a lover was fake, and that she was actually trying to build up power or cover up something."
Wei Qingyan looked at Shi Yu and said, "Once a woman has a crush on someone, it's very difficult for her to do anything with other people."
This point ruled out the possibility that Qingwu was a Venerable, and Wei Qingyan was confused for a moment.
Shi Yu didn't understand the thoughts of other women except his own wife, so he asked, "Do you sense the existence of the fake Posha?"
"No." Wei Qingyan shook his head.
That day, they guessed that someone might take advantage of the opportunity to steal Po Sha, so they stored a bit of resentment in their spears in order to track the other party.
As long as the fake Posha was within a radius of a hundred miles, she could sense it, but she had lost the sense since last night.
There are only two possibilities, one is that the fake Posha was taken out of this range.
Second, the resentment in the fake Po Sha is discovered, covered up or eaten away by someone.
But she speculated that the reason Shi Dehou instigated the assassin to take Po Sha away was to explore the secret of Abu's soul condensation.
His current ability is not strong enough to see that the resentment in the spear does not come from Abu, so he will not easily use that resentment before he finds out the secret.
That is the former, the fake Posha is already a hundred miles away.
And Qing Wu is still in their team. "We should find out who Qing Wu's lover was back then, and the real reason why she came to Wutong this time."
It's a bit difficult as I'm a newcomer.
But now it seems that Qingwu was most likely pulled out by the real Venerable to confuse them.
Shi Yu nodded and said, "It has been sent out. Don't worry, take your time."
He knew that Qingyan had been under pressure and was anxious to remove the curse from him, but Shi Dehou had been planning for many years and was in cahoots with Venerable Feng Zhao, so how could it be so easy for them to succeed?
Along the way, they never stopped trying to capture Shi Dehou. In addition, they found out that a concubine with a similar appearance to Yanran appeared in the home of a wealthy businessman at the border of Fengzhao.
There was no other news. When the secret guards chased after her, the concubine had already followed the rich businessman into Fengzhao. They were also delayed by Yang Linger's resentment and lost contact with Shi Dehou again.
A dignified emperor, in order to hide, could actually use the identity of a woman to become someone else's concubine. With such a person without bottom line, you never know what more disgusting thing he might do next.
Moreover, as a woman, it would be even more difficult to find her if she were hiding in the backyard of some powerful and wealthy family.
There is no need to rush, but he always believes that good cannot defeat evil. Before his death, the fat monk asked him to help Qingyan to uphold justice, kill demons and evil spirits, and never abandon her.
He kept these words in mind.
He firmly believed that the significance of Qingyan's resurrection was to eradicate evil from the world, and that this was God's will.
He couldn't say these words to Qingyan, so as not to add to her stress, so he laid her down in his arms and massaged the acupoints on her forehead. "Nothing happened on the way, go get some sleep."
