Chapter 355 Shi Yu: She is probably not my mother
Wei Qingyan shook his head. "There's no resentment here that can be summoned. Besides, I've been tracking him all the way from the Wei Dynasty. Shi Dehou already knew that I could use resentment to find him. He must have changed his appearance."
But if you eat the fat monk's relics and inherit all his abilities, you will be able to sense Shi Dehou's presence.
Eating the relics of relatives is something Wei Qingyan cannot do.
She did not regret her choice. Using the fat monk's remains to set up a formation to protect the entire Wei Dynasty was a better destination for the fat monk.
With such great merit, the fat monk will definitely not have a bad life after his reincarnation.
As for Shi Dehou, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and could only think of another way.
"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it either, so you don't have to blame yourself." Shi Yu said, "Shi Dehou is cunning by nature, and we cannot estimate his evil. Even if you consumed Master's relics, you might not be able to catch him in time.
But I believe that good will prevail over evil, and we will eventually punish him. Instead, it's me who should say sorry to my wife for the injustice she has caused you."
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have to follow Lai Fengzhao.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have to endure the Queen's anger.
Wei Qingyan held his hand and smiled, "I haven't been wronged. Before I left, my mother told me that there are few daughters-in-law in the world who are not bullied by their mothers-in-law.
If you love your husband and don't want him to be embarrassed, then you should endure it if you can. If you really can't endure it, then you don't have to endure it, because if your husband really loves you, he will naturally not want you to suffer this grievance.
If he is willing to let you suffer from the torture of your mother-in-law, then it is better not to have this husband.
Mother said she wasn't worried that I would be angry with the Queen because you are the husband who would not let his wife suffer any injustice.
"Our mother is right." Shi Yuhui held her hand and curved his eyebrows.
Wei Qingyan suppressed his smile, "But, my husband, is she really your mother?"
Shi Yu was slightly stunned. He had thought a lot about this question recently. "Probably not."
If it was just the Queen's behavior, he would not have doubted it, and would have thought that in the Queen's heart, power was more important than her son. However, Qingwu's behavior made him suspicious.
Ever since Qing Wu asked him to smile, as if to confirm something, she still teased Cao Yizhao in the same way, but it was really just teasing, and she no longer had the secret concern she had shown on the road.
On the contrary, although Qingwu accepted him from the beginning when they first met in Wutong County, she was always a little distant from him. After that, she became more sincere to him and even took care of him carefully.
Ever since Shi Dehou told him his identity before his death, he has been extremely sensitive to emotions. He can instinctively sense who is sincere and who is fake.
When he and Qingyan went to the old marquis's manor, there was not only worry but also panic in Qingwu's eyes. She was afraid.
He is Crown Prince Fengzhao, the son of Empress Fengzhao. Even if Empress Fengzhao wants more power, she would not kill the son she had just found.
Qingwu was afraid, most likely because she knew that he was not Queen Fengzhao's son. In Qingwu's mind, Queen Fengzhao would certainly not be merciful to outsiders.
This also makes sense, Qingwu's change in attitude towards him.
She didn't like Empress Feng Zhao, so how could she truly like Empress Feng Zhao's son? Just look at her attitude towards Xiao Zhian. She accepted him before only because he still had the blood of Emperor Feng Zhao in him.
Wei Qingyan also thought of this and felt relieved for Shi Yu. Empress Feng Zhao had been unkind to Shi Yu from the beginning, and the two of them would most likely turn against each other in the end.
If Empress Feng Zhao was Shi Yu's biological mother, Shi Yu would certainly feel bad when he fought back, but if there was no mother-son relationship, Shi Yu would not have to carry such a heavy burden in his heart.
But she felt sorry for Shi Yu. He was treated like that by the Queen Mother in Wei, and now he is in Feng Zhao again. She said, "My mother is also your mother."
Shi Yu knew this was her consolation and smiled, "Of course, that's our mother. Before we left, our mother actually said something to me. She said that no matter how I behave in Feng Zhao, I should remember that there is a mother in Wei who cares about me."
Perhaps at that time, his mother-in-law had already anticipated something, which is why she said this. Shi Yu felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and was afraid that if he continued, his emotions would leak out, so he said, "Let's go see if the secret guards have found anything."
Wei Qingyan agreed, but he had made up his mind to find an opportunity to test Qingwu's opinion.
The two men left the house and headed to the left. Halfway there, they saw a secret guard coming over with light skills.
"Master, there's a mound over there. It looks like someone is buried there."
It is normal to bury people in a cemetery, but what is abnormal is that this is the Lin family's ancestral home. Who can be buried in this ancestral land without a grand funeral, a monument and a tomb?
The two of them immediately thought of the gravekeeper, as he could be buried by just a small mound of earth.
He immediately ordered the secret guards to dig, and sure enough, they dug out a rotting male corpse after a while. The corpse had a rough build, one foot was disabled, and there were calluses on the palms from practicing martial arts.
Judging from the figure in front of the tomb, it should be a guard of the Lin family, or a disabled veteran who retired from the army, but his neck was cut by a sword, which shows that the murderer is very skilled.
Both of them thought of the masters who went to Wei to rescue Shi Dehou. It seemed that after Shi Dehou came to Fengzhao, the Venerable had always sent people to follow him.
"Master, what should we do now?" Several secret guards looked at Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan, waiting for their instructions.
Wei Qingyan looked at Shi Yu and asked, "Are you going to tell Lin Lanting the truth?"
There is no one living near this place. If no one from the Lin family came, it would be difficult for anyone to discover the death of the gravekeeper and put the body in a conspicuous place. If someone saw it, they would report it to the police, but it would not be difficult for the coroner to see that the body had been buried before.
With Lin Lanting's intelligence, he could probably guess what they were thinking. Instead of doing that, it would be better to tell them directly.
Shi Yu thought the same as she did. After giving orders to the secret guards, the two of them walked around the Lin family's ancestral land and finally stopped in front of Lin Jinzhi's tomb.
Before coming here, someone had checked. After Lin Lanting brought Lin Jinzhi back to Fengzhao, Shen Changshan's bones were picked up. The Lin family did not relocate the burial site, but directly buried Lin Jinzhi in the tomb used by Shen Changshan.
"The Lin family's ancestral land is so vast, it wouldn't be difficult to find another suitable tomb, but they've continued to use the old one. Is there something fishy going on?"
Wei Qingyan seemed to be talking to himself.
Shi Yu saw that the secret guards were eager to help the Crown Princess dig a grave right away, so he said helplessly, "Let Lin Lanting know first."
After all, it is someone else's ancestral grave. If he doesn't agree, it won't be too late for them to dig it up later.
The decision was made, and two secret guards were left to watch in secret. Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu took the rest of the people back to the imperial city.
At this time, in the palace.
The Queen sat alone in front of the mirror, lost in thought as she stared at her face. Lady Xia slowly entered and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's late. You should rest."
"Did you tell them when you went to the Dali Temple today?"
Lady Xia knew what she was asking and said quickly, "Yes, Concubine Yue knows that you will replace her son with someone else, and she is very grateful.
But Liang Yongan also seems to be trying to survive. I see he is very unwilling to give up, and I am worried that he has said something to the old marquis.
She was going to report these words to the Queen when she returned to the palace, but the Queen was not in the palace in the afternoon, so she had to wait until she came back late at night before she dared to enter the palace.
"He wouldn't dare." The Queen said firmly.
