Chapter 396: Strange
Wei Qingyan nodded, "Aunt, the Queen can do whatever she wants, not because she is so smart, but because her prophet helps her plot many things.
We are weak because we know very little about the Queen. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. Regardless of whether that person still exists, we should try to test her.
Even if that person is no longer around, I can still take this opportunity to gain more of her support. Qingyan doesn't believe that her people can be killed endlessly."
The current situation is that they know the queen is doing evil and want to eliminate her, but she has built a fortress for herself and keeps herself safe inside.
There was no breakthrough in the fortress, and what they had to do now was to lure the queen out and open the exit on their own initiative.
Only then can they capture the fortress, expose the filth inside, and tear off the queen's disguise in front of the whole world.
Qing Wu knew that what she said made sense, but she was still shocked by the sharp and murderous aura that suddenly rose from her.
After realizing what was happening, she quickly reminded him, "Child, don't scare me..."
I heard that the fetus in the womb can sense the mother's emotions.
Upon hearing this, Wei Qingyan instantly subdued her aura and smiled awkwardly. She hadn't yet adapted to the fact that she was a mother.
Seeing this, Qing Wu couldn't help but pinch her face again, "Okay, I'll go back first. I guess a lot of people will come to congratulate us later.
Those who came to congratulate him were clearly on the side of the prince. No matter what their intentions were, they were the prince's helpers at the moment.
However, the Crown Prince will handle these matters, you just need to rest well. If you need anything, please send someone to the Princess's Mansion at any time..."
After some nagging instructions, Qingwu left.
Before leaving, she gave Wei Qingyan a box inlaid with jewels.
Wei Qingyan guessed that this was the good stuff she had mentioned before. After opening it and seeing what it was, Wei Qingyan quickly closed the box.
But Shi Yu was faster than her. He pinched out a thin, almost transparent, long bag from inside...
The couple looked at each other, and Shi Yu quickly took the box and hid it in the study. The one given by his aunt seemed to be of much better quality than the one given by Jingyang, and he would be able to use it in the future.
Although it was given a little late, it is the best arrangement.
At the same time, the couple understood that Princess Qingwu had the same idea as they did before. She also felt that Wei Qingyan was not suitable to be pregnant at this time.
But after knowing that she was pregnant, she was so happy. Wu Qiu said that the warehouse where the nourishing herbs were stored was filled with Princess Qingwu.
Just when he felt Princess Qingwu's sincerity, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion sent more things over.
The old lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery came in person. As a female member of the family, she went to Wei Qingyan's room and placed a brocade box on the low table beside the bed.
He said, "This is the pill given by the late emperor. It is specially used for women in labor to ensure a smooth delivery. Please accept it, Crown Princess, as it will be a precaution."
Wei Qingyan thanked him, but thought it was just an ordinary pill to preserve pregnancy.
It was not until the old clan leader came and learned that the old lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had sent the pill that he told Shi Yu that the pill was obtained by the late emperor from the Immortal Doctor Sect specifically for the late empress dowager's childbirth a few years ago.
At that time, only five pills were requested. Except for one that the late Empress Dowager took, the other four were given as rewards.
“I heard that the Immortal Doctor Sect is located on a small island in the middle of the ocean. It’s a rare sight to be found, but not sought after. When the late emperor got the medicine and left, he saw the island sinking into the water.
Afterwards, the late emperor was seriously injured. This king and Qingwu sent many people to try to find a cure for the late emperor, but we never found any trace of him.
But four people have already taken this medicine. For those with normal labor, it can speed up the delivery, and for those with difficult labor, it can keep both mother and child safe."
The old patriarch said meaningfully, "When the Queen was pregnant, some courtiers who wanted to curry favor with her indirectly tried to persuade the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to give the Queen this medicine."
But the Marquis of Zhongyong pretended not to understand and passed it off perfunctorily.
After that, many women gave birth in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, especially Changning, who gave birth prematurely after losing her husband. However, the old lady never took out this medicine.
It’s not that the old lady doesn’t love her daughter, but this medicine is rare and is used to save lives, so it must be used on the cutting edge.
But if Changning was really in danger of a difficult labor, the old clan leader believed that the old lady would definitely give her daughter this medicine.
But he didn't expect that the old lady would give such precious medicine to the prince without hesitation. In addition to repaying the prince for saving Song Ling, she also wanted to recognize the prince.
This is what Lao Zongzheng would be happy to see.
Shi Yu immediately understood the dosage of the medicine.
After sending the old Zongzheng away, he told Wei Qingyan about this and asked her to carry the medicine with her.
After that, many officials came one after another to congratulate him. When Shi Yu finished his work and returned to his room, Wei Qingyan fell asleep again.
I slept until dark.
After dinner, the two changed into night clothes and went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
During the day, when the old lady was around, Wei Qingyan had already made an agreement with her. She did not hide the reason and said directly that through Liang Fuzhu's death, she had a hunch that something had happened to the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and there might be some hidden story behind it.
The old lady was experienced and shrewd. After Liang Fuzhu's affair was exposed, she also realized this. It happened only many years ago, so it would be very difficult to investigate now.
The Crown Princess offered to help them, and she was so grateful that there was no reason for her to refuse.
However, Wei Qingyan wanted to do this in secret, so when Shi Yu arrived with Wei Qingyan in his arms, all the secret guards in the mansion had been withdrawn by the old lady.
The old lady also dismissed the servants around her, leaving only the old butler waiting outside the door.
The old housekeeper waited outside the door for nearly an hour. When he saw Wei Qingyan and the other man coming, he hurriedly led them to the old lady's room.
"Crown Princess, what's going on?"
The old lady hurriedly stood up and sat down facing the two of them.
Wei Qingyan didn't rush to reply. Instead, she asked the old housekeeper to bring pen and ink. She drew a portrait of a woman on the paper, "Madam, who is this person?"
Seeing her solemn expression, the old lady had a bad feeling in her heart. As the characters she described became clearer and clearer, the old lady's pupils suddenly shrank.
"This is my eldest daughter-in-law."
Wei Qingyan understood.
The first wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, also the mother of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's son.
She drew another person and asked, "Who is this person?"
"It's my grandson, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."
The old lady's expression was tense. "Please tell me if the Crown Princess saw anything."
This time, things went even more smoothly than Wei Qingyan had imagined.
There is very little resentment in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. Occasionally there are a few, but they are all servants, expressing their longing for their families, embarrassing things they did as a teenager, or regretting things they wanted to do but didn't have time to do.
It can be seen that the master of the Marquis's Mansion is kind and has not done many dirty things.
Except for one scene of resentment.
That was the resentment of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Wei Qingyan truthfully told the old lady the resentful scenes he had seen.
The old lady was so shocked that she stood up from her chair immediately, her hands pressed tightly on the table. Although she tried to remain calm, Wei Qingyan still saw her lips trembling slightly.
I don't know whether I was shocked or angry.
But this only lasted a moment. Soon, she called the old housekeeper in and said, "Secretly send someone to the temple where the eldest lady is practicing Zen..."
After she gave a series of instructions, the old housekeeper hurriedly ordered him to leave, and she slowly sat back in her chair.
He asked, "Princess, what is the current situation of my grandson?"
"To be honest, old lady, this is a bit strange. Logically, the prince has been dead for many years, and his obsession still lingers in the world. He should have harbored resentment, perhaps even turned into a ghost, bringing disaster to his family, but he didn't."
This was also the first time Wei Qingyan had met someone with such a strong obsession, but he didn't feel any resentment.
But he did not reincarnate. Seeing the sadness in the old lady's eyes, Wei Qingyan swallowed his words.
After coming out of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, she summoned a few strands of resentment into the fake Posha created by Qingwu, so that the resentment could confuse the other party and make the fake Posha seem more real.
The fact that the Prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis had never harbored any resentment made her wary. She thought someone must have done something to him, preventing him from harboring any resentment.
Could it be the person in the scene of the prince's resentment? If so, could this person be the one who helped the queen earlier? How good is his magic? Can he tell that the resentment in the fake Posha was just something she had carelessly put in...
Wei Qingyan thought of many possibilities, but he never expected that the person caught in the temple where the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery practiced would be the Minister of Rites Cha Yao.
It was Cha Yao who, as soon as he and Shi Yu arrived in Fengzhao, cooperated with the Queen to send her to the post station and separate from Shi Yu.
