Chapter 420: Dealing
The life-saving formation has not yet completely ended. Logically, Xiao Pei can still stay in the human world, but he asks Wei Qingyan to extract Lin Qianning's soul fire and directly lead his soul to the underworld.
As for his body, he requested that it be cremated immediately because he had already died and without any evil magic, it would rot quickly.
His ashes were scattered by the wind on Fengzhao's land. Having been imprisoned for most of his life, he wanted freedom.
After Xiao Zhian told the Qingwu sisters what Xiao Pei had said, Qingwu said, "I will personally handle the affairs of my brother. You and Qingyin should go back first to avoid arousing Lin Wanzhi's suspicion."
She turned her head and stared at Qingyin again, "Remember not to reveal any clues, otherwise, I will never forgive you."
Qingyin nodded, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Can you tell me where my son's body is? I think..."
"Don't even think about it. I've ordered him to be buried. Even though he's as bad as his father, he actually wanted to harm the Crown Princess' unborn child.
But he still has half of my Xiao family's blood in him. I am merciful and will grant him a thin coffin and bury him in the Song family's ancestral cemetery."
Knowing that Shi Yu and his men were planning to hunt at the mass grave last night, she sent Rong Yu with a lot of people, just in case something unexpected happened.
Just as Shi Yu and his men arranged for Zhou Xiang and the Song group to arrive, they were drugged by the poison powder in the wind. However, Qingyin's son was still unwilling to give up and cursed Qingyan, trying to knock the baby out of Qingyan's belly. Rongyu cut his neck with a knife.
This was what she had ordered long ago, that the lives of Prince Consort Song and his son should be taken by the Princess's Mansion.
He was also on guard against Qingyin causing trouble for the Prince's Mansion. When her imperial sister became confused, she could be difficult to deal with.
Qing Wu simply said, "The man surnamed Song is currently imprisoned in my residence. If you wish to rescue him, then go to my residence."
Qing Yin shook her head, "He knows so much about Lin Wanzhi, Lin Wanzhi won't let him live, you won't be able to tell anything from him.
But he has a Gu worm in his body. If he dies, you must try to preserve his body. I will then reveal that Lin Wanzhi had put the Gu in him, and his body will be the evidence."
Feng Zhao issued a strict order prohibiting the use of poisonous insects. As the queen, she used this poison to harm people. This alone was enough to make the people disgusted with her.
When she said this, she glanced at Xiao Zhian. Seeing that he didn't react, she looked at Xiao Pei again. Seeing that his body was visibly decaying, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Zhian's arm and said, "Follow your aunt."
The sooner they leave, the sooner Qingwu and the prince can take care of their brother's funeral.
My royal brother was such a conceited person in the past, he must want to leave in a dignified way.
Xiao Zhian also knew that he couldn't delay, but he didn't rush back to the palace. "Aunt, please go back to the palace first. I want to go see my uncle."
Since he came out in anger, it would be inappropriate for him to go back that day. If he went back now, it would be difficult for him to be in the mood to act with his mother.
What's more, he really wanted to see his uncle and talk to him at this moment.
Qingyin understood his thoughts and went into the palace by herself.
"How is it?" the queen asked when she saw the person.
Qing Yin shook her head. "I didn't find out anything, but I think the Queen's guess is correct. The emperor must be in their hands, otherwise Qing Wu wouldn't have rushed there in such a hurry. I just don't know where they hid the emperor."
The Queen looked at her and asked, "Are you crying?"
Qing Yin wiped her eyes and said, "My Lady, do you know where my son is? I want to know whether he is dead or alive."
Is he crying because he is sad for his son?
The Queen did not completely believe Qingyin's words. She made up her mind and sent someone to the Lin Mansion later to check on Lin Qianning's condition.
If she was well, it meant that Xiao Pei's soul fire had been extracted, and Xiao Pei must be in Wei Qingyan's hands. It was impossible for Qingyin to go there and find nothing, so her crying was suspicious.
She was already suspicious, but pretended to be angry and said, "You should ask your husband about this."
"But the prince consort has disappeared, and Qingyin can't find them."
After saying this, her tears began to fall. "My Lady, please tell Qingyin the truth. Are they dead?"
"You went to the Prince's Mansion today. Didn't you ask Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu?"
The Queen put down the teacup heavily and said, "Your husband and son were snatched from them to break the evil spirit. Now they are well at home, but your husband and son have disappeared. You really shouldn't ask me this question.
To be honest, I would like to ask you, Princess Mansion, you took away so many of my elite secret guards, are you harboring any intention of betrayal?"
"Your Highness, you are really hurting Qingyin's heart by saying this. The Princess' Mansion has been loyal to you for all these years, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that.
If you are so untrustworthy, the Princess' Mansion will not cling to the high position of Your Majesty in the future."
Qingyin wiped the tears from her face with her hands and pretended to leave.
Seeing this, the Queen smiled and pulled Qingyin, "After so many years, how come you are still so quick to turn against me?
Isn't this palace also feeling bad? Well, now we should unite and find Xiao Pei and his son, the Prince Consort, as soon as possible."
Qing Yin sat down and said, "Your Majesty is right. The most important thing now is to find my brother and the others.
But before that, I would like to ask for a favor from the Empress. I want Rong An to marry someone from another place and never set foot in the Imperial City again. Please, Her Majesty, remove the poison from her body."
"Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Qing Yin said, "I know everything about her in the palace. I know best what my child is like. She is not worthy of Zhi'an.
So I wanted to kill her off early, but now the whereabouts of the prince consort and his family are unknown, or they are no longer alive. Qingyin only has Rong'an left. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy on her.
In return, I will make Zhi'an give up on Rong'an, and I won't blame the Empress. The Empress certainly doesn't want Zhi'an to know that the Empress used Gu on Rong'an, or he will harbor resentment towards the Empress. "
The Queen didn't want to spare Rong'an's life, but before the plan was implemented, she really didn't want to provoke Qingyin to turn against her, so she asked, "What are you going to do?"
If she could get Rong'an to stay away from Zhi'an temporarily, that would be fine. After all, it was Rong'an's life, and she could take him away if she wanted to. Even if Rong'an married someone else, she could take him away at any time.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember me when I was young? The more my brother opposed me, the more I wanted to get closer to my husband.
Isn't Zhi'an at the age of rebellion now? Qingyin feels that he may not have deep feelings for Rong'an. He is just at the age of full of vigor and vitality, and has just come to his senses.
But the queen wanted to kill the seeds before they sprouted, so he would naturally blame the queen. But if he knew that the seeds could not sprout or were bad from the beginning, he would only blame the person who gave him the seeds.
By then, the Queen will comfort him as much as possible, and there is no need to worry that the mother-son relationship cannot be restored to the past. The Queen can doubt Qingyin's thoughts, but don't doubt Qingyin's love for Zhian. I hope for him to be well more than anyone else, and hope that he can live a happy life. "
Seeing the queen looking at the Dankou in her hand, she said nothing.
Qing Yin continued, "The Prince Consort is dead, and I am the only one who can prove that the prince is the son of Lin Qianning and the Prince Consort.
If your Majesty promises to cure Rong An, Qing Yin will cooperate with you. Qing Yin also wants revenge."
She spoke with gritted teeth, looking extremely hateful.
The Queen looked at her in silence for a moment, "Make Zhi'an give up on Rong'an within three days, and I will help her get rid of the poison."
Qingyin got the promise and left the palace.
As soon as she left, the queen sent someone to the Lin family.
At this time, Wei Qingyan also thought of the Queen's thoughts, and temporarily kept Lin Qianning's two soul fires in the talisman.
Afterwards, he and Shi Yu Abu planned to use the night banquet on the day of recognizing the ancestor to expose the queen's true identity.
The queen knew nothing about this. When she learned that Lin Qianning was still in a puppet-like state, the doubts in her heart dissipated a lot. She called on Leng Jian and ordered him to kill the old clan leader after the recognition of ancestors was completed.
In this way, no one knew that the royal bloodline had the phoenix wing pattern on its body. As for Lin Lanting and Zhi'an, they heard it from the old clan leader. Now that the old clan leader was dead, there was no evidence. Who knew whether he had conspired with others to deceive Lin Lanting and Zhi'an?
After thinking so, the queen fell into a good sleep.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day to recognize the ancestors.
