Chapter 430 Rushing to Die
Qing Wu looked at him coldly, "The night Fu Zhuzhu was murdered, you came to me, but were you instructed by someone else?"
"No." Lord Chu quickly denied.
"Since Master Chu is unwilling to tell the truth, I am too lazy to listen. Rongyu, take people to search Lin Wanzhi's bedroom and find the bug."
She looked at Master Chu and said calmly, "Pinch him to death!"
"Princess, you and I were young and affectionate, are you really so cruel?"
Seeing Qing Wu walking straight towards the prince without any sign of mercy, he said, "Yes, it was the Queen who asked me to stop you, but this is the only bad thing I have done in all these years.
Qingwu, I have the Chu family behind me, so I am destined not to indulge in love affairs. I betrayed you back then and suffered for half my life.
Haven't I been secretly helping you all these years and trying to make up for it? Can you please forgive me just once?"
Qing Wu finally paused and turned to look at him, "You said you only harmed Fu Zhuzhu?"
Master Chu paused for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Yes."
"Didn't you help Lin Wanzhi with the death of Imperial Physician Xie?"
These were the information the Crown Princess obtained based on the resentment pictures, otherwise she would not have known that Rong Yu's entire family was wiped out and that someone named Chu was involved.
Lord Chu was shocked, but he denied it.
The less evidence he had of his guilt, the more lenient he would be. Framing the Xie family was the Queen's intention, and he was just following orders.
Now that the queen is dead, the blame should no longer be placed on him.
Qingwu felt a chill in her heart. How could the information given by the Crown Princess be wrong? Thinking of Rongyu's miserable life back then, Qingwu wished she could tear the man surnamed Chu into pieces.
Before Rong Yu could even move, he heard Shi Yu say, "Lin Wanzhi is very suspicious and ruthless. She probably puts a curse on anyone who follows her in order to control them or silence them.
If you follow her, your hands will not be clean either, but I do not want to kill you all, so I will give you a chance today. If you take the initiative to confess or make meritorious reports, I will deal with you at my discretion."
The old master is dead, and the guilty person is not afraid of death and hopes that his family can be forgiven. He tells everything he knows without hesitation.
The old patriarch listened to their confessions of their own and others' sins, and was so angry that his beard twitched. He personally took up the paperwork and recorded everything they confessed.
When Qingwu saw Shi Yu wink at Jingzhe, Jingzhe took a group of guards to the queen's bedroom, she knew that Shi Yu would not spare the lives of some people even if they confessed.
People like Chu, who have been following the queen for decades, have already committed many evil deeds and do not deserve to be alive.
Things in the palace and the court cannot be dealt with in a short time. Shi Yu was worried that the two pregnant women, Wei Qingyan and Qing Wu, would be tired, so he asked them and Lin Qianning and other women to leave the palace to rest first.
Rongyu, who was inseparable from Qingwu, was left behind by Shi Yu. He had followed Qingwu for many years, and he knew what Qingwu knew. Now was the time when he could help.
Qingwu knew that Shi Yu wanted to support Rong Yu for the sake of her, his aunt, so she told Rong Yu to listen to Shi Yu's instructions and was about to take Qianshan and A'man back to the princess's mansion.
The officials who followed Qingwu and the prince and were poisoned by the poison have all been cured. The rest are the queen's party, so there is naturally no need to rush to cure them.
Seeing Ah Man about to leave, Rong An hurriedly pulled Qing Yin and said, "Mother, don't let her go. Let them help our daughter get rid of the poison."
Qing Yin was suspicious, "Hasn't the poison in your body been cured?"
Rong An's expression was evasive, and he stammered, "She, she put a curse on my daughter again."
Upon hearing this, Qingyin was so angry that she wanted to slap Rong An to death.
She actually did so, and said angrily, "Since you've let her poison you, you'll have to take good care of it."
After saying that, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to turn around and walk towards the palace gate.
Rong An and Lin Wanzhi colluded to slander the prince's background. The prince might spare Rong An's life for her sake, but he would definitely receive the punishment he deserved.
Well, maybe only after suffering can Rong An truly repent.
Seeing her mother leaving her behind, Rong An had no choice but to turn to Shi Yu for help. She had thought that the Queen had a sure victory, but who knew that she would be defeated so quickly and now even lost her life.
If she had known this, why would she have gone to the Queen without telling her mother? She could have just waited in the mansion for the Crown Prince to win. With her mother's support for the Crown Prince, she would have no worries about having a good future.
Rong An regretted it deeply.
But she hated Qingyin in her heart, hated her for not telling her the truth earlier. However, she could only hide all this resentment in her heart. The most important thing was to save her life first.
She begged Shi Yu for mercy repeatedly, even mentioned that she had sent Lin Qianning back, and brought up her cousin relationship with Shi Yu.
But Shi Yu had no time to listen to her nagging, so he ordered his men to temporarily detain her and Chun Xing and other criminals in the Ministry of Punishment, and to deal with them one by one when he was free.
My ears suddenly feel quiet.
Lin Qianning looked at her son's busy figure with a greedy look in her eyes. Seeing that Wei Qingyan was also looking at Shi Yu, she hurriedly held Wei Qingyan's hand.
He said to her, "This palace has been in Lin Wanzhi's hands for many years, and who knows how many of her confidants are hiding here. It's really not safe."
She was explaining to Wei Qingyan why Shi Yu asked Wei Qingyan to return to the Prince's Mansion first.
Wei Qingyan naturally understood Shi Yu's thoughts and said with a smile, "Well, after he is cleaned up, we will go into the palace to accompany him."
Seeing that she understood what she meant, Lin Qianning also smiled, but her smile was very shy.
Last night, Wei Qingyan returned the soul fire to her. After waking up, she hurriedly recognized her son and daughter-in-law. However, she was only a teenager before she fell into a coma. When she opened her eyes, she found that her daughter-in-law was pregnant.
Although she still had consciousness and could sense the outside world during those years when her soul fire was taken away, she had not yet adapted to this change of identity.
In addition, her son was switched at birth, and she was completely unaware of it, which made her feel very guilty.
Wei Qingyan noticed her discomfort and told her about Shi Yu's mischievous behavior as a child.
This really hit a mother's soft spot. Lin Qianning listened carefully without blinking. When she heard something funny, she laughed too, but while laughing she secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.
When she heard that Shi Yu was punished, she pursed her lips and held up her round eyes to prevent the tears from falling.
A pair of cold white hands always held Wei Qingyan tightly, and from time to time he said, "An'er is lucky to have you, lucky to have you."
The An'er she was referring to was naturally Shi Yu, which was the name she gave to her son, Lin Zhian.
Wei Qingyan originally wanted to make her feel more comfortable and didn't want to make her cry. After hearing her say that, he changed the subject and told her about Emperor Feng Zhao's name for Xiao Zhian.
Lin Qianning pondered, "Xiao Pei is a good man. After my soul fire was taken away, he asked Qingyin to protect me. Xiao Zhian is also a good boy.
An'er recognized him as his younger brother, so I should recognize him too. The child is pitiful, and it would be bad to let him not even have a name.
Since An'er is used to using the name Yu, I will change it from now on.
When he was still in my womb, I hoped he would have a peaceful life, so I named him Zhi'an. Now that I see he is doing well, I am content with everything in my heart."
It doesn't matter what he's called, as long as my son is happy, even though the character "Yu" was given by that bad guy Shi Dehou.
Thinking of Shi Dehou, her cheeks puffed up unconsciously and she clenched her fists.
Very girlish.
Wei Qingyan knew that these were all subconscious. After more than 20 years of blank life, Lin Qianning's mentality remained at the same level as before.
It takes time to adapt. Wei Qingyan felt that there was nothing wrong with having such a sweet mother-in-law. But when he thought about how Shi Yu would get along with his mother-in-law in the future, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
Seeing her smile, Lin Qianning also smiled and asked softly, "Can I help you take care of the children in the future? Although I don't have much experience, I can learn. I learn things quickly."
"Then I'll trouble you, mother." Wei Qingyan responded readily.
Lin Qianning received permission and nodded happily, "I'll find someone to teach me tomorrow."
Wei Qingyan smiled, "It's still early, there's no need to be so anxious. Mother should take care of herself first. Now that Lin Wanzhi is dead, your destiny will return to you, and everything will be fine from now on."
"good."
She nodded in response, being very obedient.
Wei Qingyan rarely interacted with women like this, and he endured it again and again before he finally managed to refrain from pinching her face.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted all the way to the Prince's Mansion.
Wei Qingyan didn't get any rest last night and was very tired now. After settling Lin Qianning down, he went to bed. When he woke up, it was already night.
Shi Yu was sitting by the bed looking at her.
"Why are you leaving the palace so soon?"
It would be impossible to handle everything so quickly since I have just taken over everything.
Shi Yu helped her sit up and said solemnly, "Chi Lie is attacking!"
