Chapter 361 Why are there two Ans?
Aunt Wang's high fever never subsided. When Dongzang appeared with his secret guards, Scar was still guarding the bed.
He was skilled in martial arts, and although he was no match for Dongzang and the others, a fight would inevitably alarm the neighbors. Besides, they had no grudges against each other, so it would take some effort to kidnap him and force him to tell the truth.
Therefore, Shi Yu ordered Dong Zang to take the medicine with him.
The medicine was specially made by Mr. Jing and was very effective for high fever, but Scar was very cautious and Dongzang took a lot of effort to get Aunt Wang to take the medicine.
Not long after Aunt Wang took the medicine, her high fever subsided and she regained consciousness. Scar then relaxed his guard a little. When he learned that the Crown Princess had invited her, he wanted to stop her, but Aunt Wang agreed to go with Dong Zang, and he was worried, so he had to follow her.
There are many of the Queen's people in the Prince's Mansion, making it inconvenient to move around. A few days ago, Shi Yu asked his subordinates to secretly buy a house in the Imperial City.
Aunt Wang and her partner were brought to this house.
"I wonder what the two princes want Aunt Wang to come here for?" Scar looked at the two of them warily.
Wei Qingyan said gently, "I want to ask you about some things in the past. In return, I will have the imperial physician treat Madam Wang."
Even if she can't be cured, she can at least live longer.
She didn't say this out loud, but she believed Scar understood what she meant.
"I know my own condition, and I dare not trouble the Fairy Queen and the Imperial Physician."
Aunt Wang looked towards Wei Qingyan and said, "The Fairy Queen is a good person. If the Fairy Queen is asking something that Shopkeeper Liu doesn't know, please don't make things difficult for him. He is also a good person."
Scar's nose felt sore, and the hesitation in his heart completely disappeared, and he nodded.
He consulted many doctors, but they all shook their heads and sighed about his mother's health. He wanted the imperial physician to treat his mother so that she would suffer less from the pain.
Wei Qingyan nodded to Aunt Wang and said, "I promise you."
Aunt Wang patted Scar's hand and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, we must believe in the Goddess of Fairyland. She is a good person and will help you out of this predicament."
After saying that, she turned around and groped her way out, with turbid tears sliding out of her misty eyes.
Wu Qiu hurried forward and helped Aunt Wang to the next yard, where the imperial physician and Doctor Yangyang were waiting.
"Your mother probably knows." Wei Qingyan sighed as he watched the old woman leave. "Perhaps she had suspicions for a long time, but just didn't dare to believe them, so she came to me yesterday to confirm something."
Scar's body stiffened, and then he realized that his mother had probably heard what he said by her bedside last night, and the Crown Princess's people had also heard it.
That's why he made this trip today.
"What does the Crown Princess want to ask?"
Wei Qingyan didn't beat around the bush. "Who was that baby you were supposed to escort back then?"
As expected, they were asking about the past. For some reason, Scar felt relieved. "I'm a secret escort. Secret escorts usually escort people for money and don't ask about their identities."
"Then where is your escort destination? Who are the people who killed you and who are following you?"
Scar was silent for a moment, "The destination is Mobei. When my body was thrown out, I heard one of them say, 'Return to the palace to report.' From the voice, I think it's a palace eunuch."
The one who was watching my house was a servant of the Lin family. It was then that I realized that the one who had ordered the escort was the third daughter of the Lin family.
"How do you know it's Miss Lin San?" Wei Qingyan frowned.
"I followed the person who was following me and learned that he was following me because he was looking for a maid with a child. The maid was Miss Lin San's personal maid."
Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu looked at each other and asked in unison, "Chun Xing?"
"Yes." Scar nodded. "On the day we set out, a hooded woman saw us off at the Ten-Li Pavilion. That's how she addressed the maid."
"What did she say to the maid?"
Since he came to see her off specifically and called Chun Xing by name, it was impossible for him to say nothing.
Scar hesitated.
He didn't know why the two people in front of him wanted to ask about what happened in the past. If he told them some things, it would be a disaster for him.
But he was really fed up with living in anonymity and unable to return home. He also couldn't bear to see his mother suffer from illness. His mother had suffered all her life, and he hoped that she would suffer less in her last days. He also hoped that in the remaining time of his mother's life, he and the children could stay by her side openly and fulfill their filial duties to her.
He thought of the rumors he heard yesterday, that the Queen and the Crown Prince seemed to be at odds, and that the Crown Prince was going to leave Feng Zhao because of this.
Facing Shi Yuqing's upright face and Wei Qingyan's calm eyes, he decided to take a gamble, betting that the prince and the queen were different.
"Miss Lin San said, Chun Xing, I'll leave Zhi'an in your care. I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future.
She held the child again and said, "Mom, I heard that the climate and soil in Mobei can raise children strong, and the people there are more open-minded."
Zhi'an, my dear Zhi'an, please wait for me, just wait for half a year, and after half a year I will go find you. From now on, we, mother and son, will never be separated again."
Shi Yu's expression changed slightly, "Which one? Which one?"
Scar shook his head. "I don't know. She left after she said that, and we were intercepted by assassins only half a day after we left."
"Is the child healthy?"
"I don't know. The child was in the hands of the maid the entire time. They only had contact for half a day before they were taken away."
"What year, month and day did that happen?" Shi Yu asked.
Scarface looked at him and said word by word, "Twenty-four years ago, the day before the palace coup."
boom!
Although they had guessed it, after hearing this, Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan's hearts were still shaken like thunder.
According to Chun Xing's previous statement, Lin Qianning and Lin Jinzhi reached an agreement. Lin Qianning helped Lin Jinzhi steal Prince Feng Zhao, and Lin Jinzhi helped take care of Lin Qianning's child.
If what Scar said was true, Lin Qianning sent the child away the day before the palace coup and decided to look for the child six months later. She said look for the child, not take the child.
Does it mean that she has decided that the mother and son will never return to the imperial city again? This does not match her statement of asking Lin Jinzhi to take care of the child.
Did Chun Xing lie, or was there something else going on?
Wei Qingyan tends to believe the former. If the assassin wanted the child, why did he kill all the bodyguards but leave Chun Xing behind?
Also, what do those people want with a child?
Wei Qingyan asked, "You haven't dared to reveal your true identity these years. Is it because you suspect that Miss Lin San was wrongly accused of participating in the rebellion?"
Scar nodded, "If Miss Lin San had the intention of rebelling, why didn't she send the child away earlier?
We are secret escorts and we are not untraceable, but she called the names of the maid and the child in front of us.
If she were to commit treason, she would have considered the possibility of failure. If she failed, the nobles in the palace might be able to find the child. To protect the child, she should have been more cautious.
Wei Qingyan nodded slightly.
Unless, Lin Qianning had never thought of rebelling, and sent the child away only because she was an unmarried girl and could not keep the child with her. The people in Mobei were open-minded, and compared to the strict etiquette of the imperial city, it would not be so abrupt for a woman to bring a child.
Therefore, Scar and others must die, because if they were alive, the world would know that Lin Qianning's rebellion was indeed not tenable.
So was it the Queen who falsely accused her of rebellion?
Perhaps Scar thought so, otherwise, more than 20 years would have passed, and Emperor Feng Zhao would have passed away, but he still did not dare to recognize Aunt Wang.
Scar seemed to see through her thoughts and added, "After I pretended to be dead and left, for some reason, those people returned to the place where the body was dumped. When they found that my body was missing, they knew I was still alive and searched the entire mountain. I was lucky enough to escape.
But I know that they already know my identity. Ten years ago, I wanted to reunite with my mother, but I found that someone was still keeping an eye on my whereabouts.
Fortunately, the identity he was using now was that of a man who had been captured by bandits and forced to do hard labor in the mountains. It made sense that his face had been disfigured by the bandits. Coincidentally, the two men had similar body shapes, so those people didn't suspect him.
But that day, when my mother went to ask the Crown Princess in public, and the Crown Princess said he was still alive, would it alert the people behind the scenes? Scar had been feeling very uneasy these past few days.
Shi Yu also thought of this. "If you trust me, I can arrange a safe place for your family. There are many doctors with excellent medical skills there. When the person behind this is brought to justice, you can return when you want."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and thank you, Fairy Goddess." Scar was grateful. Now that he was no longer under the eyes of those people, he could recognize his mother.
Wei Qingyan knew that Shi Yu was talking about the medicine store. As early as when he knew his identity, he had developed the medicine store in Fengzhao. It was indeed a good place for Scar's family.
After asking a few more questions, Scar didn't know much, so the two men let him go back and prepare to leave.
Wei Qingyan looked at Shi Yu. Was it the Queen who kidnapped Lin Qianning's child?
Why is Lin Qianning's child named Zhian? Is this related to the name Xiao Zhian?
The two returned to the Prince's Mansion with a lot of question marks in their heads.
Not long after, Xiao Zhian came to see Wei Qingyan. Wei Qingyan said that he had recovered a lot. After chatting with him for a while, the topic turned to his name.
Wei Qingyan said casually, "Zhi'an, who gave you your name?"
