Chapter 372 Exposing Wei Qingyan
"Lord Jingzhe, I'm afraid Lord Wang can't stop it."
The secret guard came anxiously and whispered in Jingzhe's ear, "Not only did the Queen publicly admit that her attitude towards the Princess was not good enough, she also promised to treat her as her own daughter in the future.
After that, no matter what Lord Wang said, the Queen readily agreed. Lord Wang explained everything, including the status of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, the opening of a trade market between the two countries, cooperation on the original railway, and the joint construction of a travel channel between the two countries. I'm afraid there's nothing more to say."
Jingzhe's back was wet with sweat. If Lord Wang couldn't stop him, Dongzang would definitely put on the mask in time and act as an assassin.
He pressed his fists together, forcing himself to calm down. "Any news on the person who will pick up the master?"
The secret guard shook his head.
Jingzhe said, "Go to the blacksmith shop that the Queen must pass by to find Dongzang. Be sure to keep an eye on him. Don't let him wear the mask until the last moment. Tell him that the master certainly doesn't want him to do that."
This was what he thought about after he calmed down after Dong Zang left. Dong Zang wanted to cover the Queen's face with a mask on the way to the Prince's Mansion, and the blacksmith shop was the most convenient place.
But if the master doesn't come back in time, Dongzang will eventually do that.
Jingzhe was extremely anxious. He had never placed his hope in gods or Buddhas before. He fell to his knees and said, "Gods and Buddhas, please bless me. Please bless my master to come back soon. Please bless Dongzang and keep him safe. Bodhisattva, please bless me..."
"What happened to Dongzang?"
Shi Yu's voice came from above Jingzhe's head. Jingzhe looked up suddenly and saw Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan carrying Wei Shijun into the room.
He quickly looked at the three of them and saw that although they looked a little embarrassed, Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan seemed to be fine. Although Wei Shijun was injured, he did not seem to be in danger of his life.
He could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly sent a signal to Dong Zang. Then he rushed to Shi Yu at an extremely fast speed and hugged Shi Yu's legs, "Master, I'm so glad you're okay.
Master, luckily you are back. You don’t know that if you had come back a little later, he would have been hidden in the winter…”
Jingzhe finished telling Dongzang what happened this morning and what he planned to do. He even started crying at the end, with a bit of grievance, "Master, why did you come back so late?"
Shi Yu knew that Jingzhe and Dongzang had a deep relationship, and he must be frightened, so he didn't care about the blame in his words.
Let Wei Qingyan take Wei Shijun back to the house to pack up first, and explain the whole story to him while they change clothes.
It turned out that he discovered that although the assassins who captured Wei Qingyan were good at martial arts, they were not as good as those who went to Wei to rescue Shi Dehou last time.
He didn't know how many top masters like him were around the queen, but at least the master who rescued Shi Dehou that day escaped their pursuit and returned to Fengzhao.
Tonight, that person did not go with him to capture Qingyan, so he guessed that the queen must have made two preparations, so he ordered the secret guards to explore the way first.
Sure enough, the secret guard found two people with suspicious whereabouts not far from the city gate, so he took them on a detour and entered the city from another place.
There was some delay.
After explaining, he said, "Now I have returned home. If you are worried, go and bring Dongzang back yourself."
Jingzhe was naturally uneasy. After hearing Shi Yu's words, he hurried out of the house.
Outside, the Queen had been dealing with Wang Gangzheng for quite a while. Seeing that he still wanted to discuss the details of the cooperation with her, she became impatient and showed a hurt expression on her face.
"Sir Wang, I am worried about my son and daughter-in-law, so I rushed here with the imperial physician. I have answered all your questions.
As for other matters, Feng Zhao will have relevant officials contact the Wei envoys later. Your Excellency, will you allow me to visit the Crown Prince and Crown Princess now? "
Wang Gang saw that she looked like she was going to say that if he dared to say another word to stop her, she would say that it was the princess who didn't want to see her as her mother-in-law.
I could only take a deep breath and say, "Your Majesty, please."
But his heart was beating fast, wondering whether Shi Yu and the others had returned. If not, Dong Zang would come out to assassinate them, and he would be caught alive.
Because of these worries, he couldn't help feeling uneasy. The Queen saw all of this and became more and more certain that Wei Qingyan had been caught.
Wang Gang was walking towards the Prince's Mansion with a nervous heart. When he arrived at Qingque Street where the Prince's Mansion was located, he still did not see the assassin, and he finally felt relieved.
Dong Zang did not come out to assassinate, which means that the prince has returned home.
In this way, there is no need to worry.
He began to think about the promises that Queen Feng Zhao had just made. The old man's heart, which had been very nervous just now, became very happy as he thought about it.
Empress Feng Zhao was probably certain that the Crown Princess was not in the mansion. At that time, either the Crown Princess would be left alone and avoid her mother-in-law, which would make her look rude and unfilial. Or, if she broke into the house and couldn't find the Crown Princess, she would accuse her of having ulterior motives, thus turning against Wei. Then, her promise would be invalid.
But as long as the princess is in the mansion, the queen has no excuse to turn against her, so those promises must be kept. His princess and her husband are really the lucky stars of the Wei Dynasty.
The upright old man suddenly had a mischievous thought and wanted to see the fidgety expression on Queen Feng Zhao's face after seeing the Crown Princess.
After Lord Wang was sure that the prince had returned home, he slowed down his pace and landed behind the queen's sedan chair. Naturally, the queen could not see the change in his expression, and had no way of knowing that Lord Wang was waiting to laugh at her.
At this moment, she was half-closed her eyes, looking at Shi Yu who was coming towards her.
Shi Dehou is very important to Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu. They took great pains to capture him, and they must be worried that Shi Dehou would be rescued again. Therefore, she expected from the beginning that Shi Yu would stay to watch Shi Dehou.
Last night, when her people pretended to look for Shi Dehou, they also confirmed that Shi Yu had indeed stayed in the city.
The reason he appears here now is probably because he got the news that she was coming to the Prince's Mansion and rushed over.
But what's the use? Can he stop her, or conjure up Wei Qingyan out of thin air?
Shi Yu stepped forward to greet her, "Qingyan woke up last night and fainted again in the early morning. I was worried about her and didn't know Your Majesty was coming. I'm sorry I didn't go out to greet her."
"There's no need for this between you and me, mother and son." The Queen slowly got off the sedan chair and extended her hand to Shi Yu, "Take mother to see the Crown Princess."
Shi Yu hesitated, "Mother, the Crown Princess is now in a coma, and the room is filled with the smell of medicine..."
The Queen heard his refusal and laughed in her heart, but her face was full of love, "You are all my children. My children are ill, and as a mother, how can you dislike your own children?
I have also brought a number of imperial physicians with me to nurse the Crown Princess back to health. Once she recovers, you can quickly expand the Feng Zhao royal family. Let's go."
After saying that, she reached out and grabbed Shi Yu's arm.
Shi Yu lowered his eyes and took a look, then had to take his men into the mansion.
Seeing that he didn't refuse again, the queen became suspicious. She thought Shi Yu would try every means to prevent her from entering. Could it be that Wei Qingyan was back?
This thought made her feel a little confused, so she looked at the butler behind Shi Yu. Seeing the butler secretly shaking his head, her heart returned to reality.
That’s right, she sent so many people, unless Wei Qingyan has extraordinary abilities.
I think Shi Yu found another woman to disguise herself as Wei Qingyan.
When she sees people, she will expose such a clumsy trick.
After following Shi Yu to Wei Qingyan's room, the Queen sat down in front of the bed and said, "Qingyan, I'm here to see you. You must get better soon and don't let your mother worry."
The queen looked carefully at the person on the bed. The person was sleeping with his eyes closed. The face was indeed Wei Qingyan's face, but there was no shortage of lifelike disguises in the world. She had seen them many years ago.
Even the best disguise would have flaws. She touched Wei Qingyan's face and said with pity, "Poor child, you look so thin. It makes your mother feel distressed."
There is nothing unusual about the jaw or behind the ears.
The queen's pupils shrank slightly, and her hand touched Wei Qingyan's neck again.
Surprisingly, there is no trace of disguise at all?
How could that be?
How could Wei Qingyan escape from her trap? She didn't want to believe that her plan had failed. She checked again, but got the same result.
The queen closed her eyes. Tudao and his men had not even caught Wei Qingyan, this piece of trash. Even with such careful arrangements, they hadn't been able to accomplish anything and had even alerted the enemy.
It would be difficult to secretly capture Wei Qingyan and use him for her own purposes in the future.
Shi Dehou!
Since Wei Qingyan could not serve her for the time being, she could not lose Dehou as a backup. The Queen did not dare to delay and quickly said to the imperial physician, "Examine the Crown Princess."
Afterwards, she pretended to wait outside, looking for an opportunity to order the secret guards to rescue Shi Dehou in time. But before she could leave the room, she heard the guards come to announce, "Your Majesty, Lord Liang Fu Su Liang, as well as Lord Lin Guozhang and General Lin want to see you."
