Chapter 379 Excitement
Shi Dehou was brought into the Prince's Mansion under the name of Princess Yanran, and Shi Yu arranged a courtyard for her.
The courtyard was guarded inside and outside by his own guards, and the two maids who were specifically responsible for watching him were brought by Wei Qingyan from the Wei Imperial Palace.
At this time, Shi Dehou's limbs were tied to the foot of the bed and he could not move.
Wei Qingyan dismissed the two maids and sat down beside the bed. "Did you set up the life-defying formation for Empress Feng Zhao?"
Shi Dehou was trapped and was already filled with resentment, but after hearing these words, his struggling expression paused for a moment.
Empress Feng Zhao?
He had doubts in his heart, but was afraid that Wei Qingyan was deceiving him, so he didn't dare to speak.
"Life for life, ten years for one day, to support the living dead. Forty-nine girls' lives are only worth about half a year of life for one living dead."
Wei Qingyan said to himself, "When I saw such a cruel and low-level method, my first reaction was to think of you, but you are dull and stupid. You learned some techniques by cheating the fat monk, and you have never mastered them in your life.
The life-resisting formation is against the laws of nature. The fat monk is kind-hearted, and even if you try to deceive him, he will not easily tell you this kind of magic.
So, I guess it was Queen Feng Zhao who gave you some ancient books containing magical techniques, from which you learned the life-defying array and the sorcery spell. In return, he did things for her."
Previously, she had always thought that either the Venerable was proficient in esoteric arts, or there was someone around her who was proficient in esoteric arts, but after investigating for some time, she found that the Venerable did not seem to be someone who was proficient in esoteric arts.
Judging from the importance she had attached to Shi Dehou before, there might have been someone proficient in occult arts around her, but there shouldn't be any at the moment.
Shi Dehou remained silent, but his eyes turned thoughtfully.
Wei Qingyan chuckled, "You don't know by now that the venerable one you're working with is Empress Feng Zhao, right?"
"Impossible, you little beast, don't try to fool me." Shi Dehou finally spoke.
"Aside from your deceptive mouth, your brain is truly stupid."
Shi Yu handed Wei Qingyan a cup of hot tea, sat down beside her, and said disdainfully, "Although you are stupid, you are on the run now, so you wouldn't be so careless as to leave your gold hairpin under the bed, nor would you leave so many clues in the gravekeeper's room."
He knew best how to provoke the arrogant and conceited Shi Dehou.
Shi Dehou was speechless.
He had been served by the Venerable's men all the way from the Great Wei. When he left the gravekeeper's house, they left someone to clean up the traces in the house, and he followed the others and left first. Naturally, he would not suspect that the person who had always protected him well would betray him this time.
Why?
Shi Dehou still hadn't figured it out, so Shi Yu explained, "Because you're too stupid. Qingyan can master the magic without much study, but you've spent your whole life studying it and still can't even reach one ten-thousandth of her level.
With Qingyan Zhuyu in front, what does Queen Feng Zhao need a fake like you for? The life-saving array requires countless lives to fill. Even if she is Queen Feng Zhao, it is difficult to guarantee that so many murders will not be discovered.
Therefore, she wanted a simpler and more effective method. She took a fancy to Qingyan, who was more powerful than you, and rescued you from Wei, but she was just using you to lure Qingyan here.
Yesterday she deliberately had us take you away from the brothel, just to lure Qingyan to the Lin family's ancestral land so that we could ambush her.
She came here early this morning, thinking she had succeeded and wanted to inspect the results, but unfortunately, she was disappointed."
"impossible."
This was something that Shi Dehou found difficult to accept. Why could he only be the bait to lure Wei Qingyan? And the venerable who cooperated with him was clearly the one who wanted to seize the Feng Zhao kingdom. How could it be Queen Feng Zhao?
"Let me tell you another secret. Empress Feng Zhao is a reborn person. She had anticipated your intention to seize my body and use my identity as Crown Prince Feng Zhao to annex Feng Zhao.
So, she replaced me with her own child. I am not her child, so the birthday you got is naturally fake.
You boast that you planned everything and wanted to be the master of the world, but you didn't know that she was behind the scenes and you became her pawn.
Think carefully, you were far away in the Wei Dynasty, how did you know about the birth of Prince Feng Zhao, and how did you come up with the idea of taking over Prince Feng Zhao's body?"
Shi Yu was calm and composed. "Take your time to think about it. We won't let you die that easily."
"Even though I've made you a conscious ghost, you've committed many evil deeds, so you still have to receive the punishment you deserve."
Wei Qingyan sneered, took out two paper talismans from his sleeve, and threw them into the air, "Prince Jing Shi Qian, Madam Wei, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, it's time for you to settle the cause and effect with Shi Dehou."
As she finished speaking, two balls of black energy tightly wrapped around Shi Dehou.
Shi Qian was possessed by the little ghost and took over his body and wife. There is no doubt that he hated Shi Dehou.
Madam Wei followed Wei Qingyan and heard the little ghost's words of deceiving her feelings. She also knew that Shi Dehou only used her and had no feelings for her.
I also learned from Mrs. Wei that General Wei had long known that she was a chess piece planted by Shi Dehou, but he still tolerated her and gave her the respect that a wife should have.
Comparing the two, and being deserted by everyone, Madam Wei became resentful and refused to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Now that the man who ruined her life was before her, she naturally wished she could tear him to pieces.
Shi Dehou felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if millions of steel nails were driving into his body and tearing it apart bit by bit.
After a while, his clothes were soaked with pain. After all, he was a woman now. Shi Yu turned around, and Wei Qingyan seemed to have lost interest.
Wei Qingyan said, "Husband, since you have nothing to do anyway, why not play a game of chess?"
Shi Yu agreed, "The enemy has been punished, and the whole world celebrates. I also have to prepare your favorite snacks."
Dongzang and Jingzhe, who were guarding outside, heard this and brought in the snacks and chessboard that had been prepared long ago.
The two of them really started playing chess on their own. Shi Yu kept feeding his wife, "I heard this is a Fengzhao specialty. Try it."
If Wei Qingyan found something that tasted good, he would feed it to Shi Yu, and both of them looked indescribably happy.
Shi Dehou originally thought that the two of them came to interrogate him, so he was prepared to capture Qiao in order to save his life, but he did not expect the result to be like this.
Wei Qingyan, in the midst of his busy schedule, also warned, "I know you hate him, but don't kill him all at once, otherwise it will be too easy for him."
Thinking of something, she slapped her forehead and said, "How could I forget Yang Ling'er? The life-defying formation was set up by Shi Dehou. So, Ling'er, who was buried alive, should seek revenge on him."
Shi Dehou felt that he was already in purgatory, and with the addition of Yang Ling'er, he truly felt what it meant to be living a life worse than death and unable to die.
Wei Qingyan watched him writhing on the bed like a maggot in pain, his eyes cold. It was not that he had truly forgotten Yang Ling'er, but he was afraid that if he released Yang Ling'er too early, Shi Dehou would die too quickly, and he was also afraid that Shi Yu could not bear it.
For a treacherous man like Shi Dehou, physical torture will not be able to pry open his mouth. The only way to inflict it is to break his heart while torturing him physically.
"My dear husband, it feels so good to have my blood revenged. But Queen Feng Zhao is so cunning and prophetic. I don't know when she will get the retribution she deserves."
Wei Qingyan sighed softly, "What if we are no match for her and she gets what she wants, seizes the opportunity to seize the Wei Kingdom and become the ruler of the world? I really can't bear it."
"Don't be afraid, things will work out in the end. Let's get rid of this troublemaker Shi Dehou first." Shi Yu comforted.
Shi Dehou heard every word of the conversation between the two. Although he knew that they were doing it on purpose, he had to admit that he seemed to have been used.
As early as when Emperor Feng Zhao traveled to the Great Wei, the Venerable's people found him.
The Venerable wanted the Fengzhao Kingdom, so he asked him to help kill the Fengzhao Emperor who was the Crown Prince at that time. The reason was that the Fengzhao Emperor would have a son, who was born from the Purple Star and would please the Fengzhao Emperor from birth, so he was granted the title of Crown Prince and would be the future emperor of Fengzhao.
If Emperor Feng Zhao dies and His Holiness succeeds him, His Holiness promises to donate two iron mines to Wei.
At that time, he was trying his best to befriend Emperor Feng Zhao and try to buy raw iron from Feng Zhao at a low price, but Emperor Feng Zhao did not have such authority at that time.
The Venerable's conditions were very tempting, but killing Emperor Feng Zhao was very risky for the Wei Dynasty at that time. Coincidentally, at that time, he noticed that Shen Changshan's identity was different.
The plan to seize the body of Prince Fengzhao began to take shape in his mind. How could two iron mines compare to the entire Fengzhao?
He even had greater ambitions. As long as there were sufficient raw iron resources and enough weapons, and Dawei and Fengzhao were united in the future, he, Shi Dehou, would be able to dominate the world.
