Chapter 428 Lin Wanzhi's Punishment
"This is the prince you want to support. Look, he doesn't care about your lives for a woman and to deal with me."
After the queen screamed, she instigated, "You are all infected with the son Gu, and the mother Gu is in my body. Only if the mother Gu survives can you survive.
Tell them to let me go, or they will imprison me and I will kill the mother Gu and bury you all with her."
Feng Zhao strictly prohibits the use of poisonous insects and is often more afraid of unknown things.
Someone took the lead, "Your Highness, please save our lives."
Then many ministers followed suit and knelt down.
The old master was furious, "She said she had cast a spell, and you believed her. Even if she really cast a spell and let her go, how could she let you go given her viciousness?
It was the Poison Queen who wanted you dead. As an official appointed by the imperial court, you fell for such a simple provocation and turned against the Crown Prince. How foolish of you to do so."
Shi Yu looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone present here, it is true that some people have been poisoned by Lin, but not everyone has been poisoned, and this poison is not as dangerous as she said.
After learning that Lin was skilled in the art of witchcraft, I have sent people to Wei to invite a skilled witchcraft doctor to Fengzhao. He should be arriving soon.
Lin Wanzhi is guilty of a heinous crime. Even if she threatens me with my life today, I will not let her go.
This person has evil ambitions and has long been colluding with Chi Lie and has planted hidden chess pieces in many countries in order to stir up trouble in the world. If she is allowed to leave now, who knows how much trouble she will cause.
If disaster strikes the world, how can you and your family live in peace?
Therefore, not only will I not let this person go, I will also punish him severely. As for the poisonous insects in your bodies, I will also find a way to remove them.
Of course, I will also thoroughly investigate the court officials who have followed the Lin family in committing evil deeds over the years and punish them according to the law."
"I support the Crown Prince. We must not let the demon Lin Wanzhi go, otherwise even more people will die."
"I, an old minister, also support the prince. We must not let the devil go."
"I (Changning) request the Crown Prince to severely punish the poisonous queen and restore peace to the world."
"I implore the Crown Prince to severely punish the poisonous queen and restore peace to the world..."
More people knelt down one after another, and upon closer inspection, there were even more people than those who demanded the release of the queen.
Just at this moment, someone came hurriedly and whispered something in Qingwu's ear.
Qing Wu's eyes lit up slightly, and she said hurriedly, "Bring them in quickly."
After a while, a man in a long robe with long hair draped over his shoulders came to Shi Yu with a young woman in strange clothes.
The man saluted, "I, Qianshan, pay my respects to Your Highness. Princess Qingwu suspected the Queen of being a Gu poisoner many years ago, so she sent me to search for the missing Southern Border Saint Clan.
After years of searching, I have been fortunate enough to fulfill my mission. I ask you to return to me the Saint of Southern Border. She is pregnant with the Gu King, who can cure all poisonous insects in the world."
Qingwu had already told Shi Yu about sending Qianshan to search southern Xinjiang, but since there had been no news from Qianshan for many years, Qingwu had no hope for it.
Unexpectedly, he came back today. Shi Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, sir."
"That's great, Qianshan, you are really a timely help." Qingwu said happily.
Rong Yu, who was behind her, heard this and took a step forward calmly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qing Wu.
The man called Qianshan narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene.
Qing Wu was completely unaware of this and looked at Qian Shan, "Then please ask the Saint to help you find out what's wrong with Lin Wanzhi and why she has cast a curse on those ministers."
The Saint of Southern Border looked at Qingwu and said, "I am Ah Man. Are you the Princess Qingwu that Qianshan mentioned?"
Her Feng Zhaoguan language was a little clumsy and stiff, but her eyes were very bright and lively.
Seeing Qing Wu nod, her eyes turned slightly, "A hundred years ago, when my Southern Border Saint Clan lived in seclusion in the mountains, our ancestors left us a clan precept that we should not help outsiders use Gu outside the mountains.
Whether it is harming people or saving people, it can only be done for the sake of one's own people.
You are not from my Southern Xinjiang Holy Clan, so Aman will not help you, but Aman can help her husband.
But Qianshan said he is yours, and if you don't agree, he can't be Ah Man's husband. So, if you want Ah Man to help you, you have to give Qianshan to Ah Man as her husband."
"Aman."
Qianshan tugged at Ah Man's sleeve, which was embroidered with intricate patterns. His old face flushed slightly as he said helplessly, "It's hard to talk about this now."
This damn kid, how could he say these things in front of everyone? Didn’t we agree to remove the poison first and then meet Qingwu in private?
Ah Man's eyes were clear. "It can't be why. You said that as long as Qing Wu agreed to give you to me, you would be my husband. So, I am asking her now."
After saying that, she stopped looking at Qianshan and stared at Qingwu.
Qingwu didn't expect this to happen.
After she was betrayed by a man named Chu, she was devastated and never recovered. It was at that time that she met Qianshan, and they had always been friends.
Later, Emperor Feng Zhao gave her half of the imperial seal. She was determined not to marry and to support all the concubines in the world. Qianshan volunteered to be her first man and the only man before Rongyu climbed into bed with her.
Although the two had an intimate relationship, they were still not lovers. After Qianshan helped her compete with the queen, he proposed to go out and travel.
Qianshan was an orphan knight who loved to indulge in the mountains and rivers and longed for freedom. Qingwu would not trap him. In the following years, he occasionally returned to the princess's mansion, but only for a temporary rest and then left quickly.
A few years ago, she found out that the queen might be good at witchcraft, so she wrote to Qianshan. Qianshan replied that he would help her find the holy clan in southern Xinjiang.
Although they had communicated several times since he last left the princess's mansion to travel, it had been ten years since they last saw each other until today.
Over the years, when she occasionally thought of Qianshan, she would wonder if he had already married and had children. She didn't expect that today a little girl would come to her and ask for Qianshan.
She looked at Qianshan, "What do you think? Are you willing to marry her?"
Qianshan stayed with her for many years to help her, so she naturally would not force him to marry someone he didn't want to marry.
Without waiting for Qianshan to reply, Ah Man said, "I only left the mountain with him because he said he was willing. Besides, I have to marry him even if I can't.
When he found our Southern Border Holy Clan, he was covered in wounds and was only breathing his last breath. It was me who saved him and took care of him.
In your words, if you have physical intimacy, you have to take responsibility. I took away his innocence, and mine is gone too. He has to marry me..."
"Ancestor, stop talking."
Ah Man's mouth was covered, Qian Shan was helpless, "You were healing my wounds, not taking away my innocence..."
Having said this, he realized that now was not the time to say these things, but he did not dare to let go of Ah Man, for fear that she had not learned the official language well enough and would say something earth-shattering again.
Qingwu saw the tenderness in his eyes, just like the tenderness in Rongyu's eyes when he looked at her. She understood Qianshan's feelings for Ah Man and said to Ah Man, "If Qianshan agrees, I will agree too."
Ah Man got the news, and her pair of black and white eyes curved with a smile. She hurriedly scratched Qianshan, signaling her to let go.
After her mouth was free, she pointed at Rongyu beside Qingwu and said, "Look, Qingwu has him, and you have me. When we return to Southern Xinjiang, Ah Man will give birth to a cub for you."
Qianshan, "..."
He smiled awkwardly at Qingwu and glanced at her belly inconspicuously.
Ah Man is good at witchcraft and medicine. What she meant was that Qing Wu was pregnant.
Finally, his eyes fell on Rong Yu's face for a moment, then he quickly turned away and looked at Ah Man, "Let's go and see the Gu worm."
When he decided to look for the Southern Border Saint Clan, he heard about Rong Yu and Qing Wu.
He also understood why Rongyu had always been hostile to him in the past. It turned out that he had been thinking about Qingwu for a long time.
Seeing Qingwu standing side by side with Rongyu without any dissatisfaction, he knew that Qingwu also had feelings for Rongyu.
Hearing the jingling of the bells on Ah Man's body as she walked, Qianshan's lips curled up slightly.
They were both born into a family that was not worthy of Qingwu. Rongyu said what he did not dare to express. This was where he was inferior to Rongyu.
Qingwu is safe, and he also has A'man who loves him sincerely. Perhaps this is the best arrangement.
Thinking of this, he heard Ah Man say, "There is no poisonous insect in her body, so she can be killed."
Qianshan held his forehead and hurried to her side to stop her from saying anything shocking. Then he heard Ah Man explain, "You said she was evil, bullying your Qingwu and harming many people. If you don't kill her, are you waiting for her to use the Gu worm to kill people again in the future?"
Wei Qingyan nodded, "Ah Man, is that what you mean? If you don't kill him, he will harm others."
But taking Lin Wanzhi's life in this way would be too easy for her. Even if she died, her soul would have to experience all the sufferings that all the people she had harmed had to endure in their lifetime.
Thinking of this, she took a step forward, raised Xiao Zhian's dagger high, and stabbed it into Lin Wanzhi's heart.
