Chapter 439: Staring
Abu watched Cao Yizhao for another night but found nothing.
And it was time for Wei Qingyan to leave.
The envoys from the Great Wei State were ready to go outside the Crown Prince's Mansion early in the morning to bid farewell to their Crown Princess.
Shi Yu ordered his men to invite Wang Gangzheng and other envoys into the palace. The envoys then learned that the Crown Princess did not sleep well last night because she was reluctant to leave her family and she was in a trance today and accidentally sprained her ankle.
But she still personally escorted the Wei envoys to the city gate in a sedan chair, and only returned home after watching the huge group of envoys leave the city.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Shi Yu directly carried the person into the mansion.
Because of his relationship with Wei Qingyan, and since Wei Qingyan had a foot injury, he naturally wouldn't let her ride in a sedan chair into the house without any outsiders around.
Abu was afraid that others would notice that his body shape was abnormal, so he curled up in Shi Yu's arms, and even hid it from Lin Qianning.
"How's Xiaoyan's foot?"
Seeing Shi Yu and the others coming back, she hurried forward to greet them.
Abu has followed Wei Qingyan since he was a child, and he also knows the method of Wei Qingyan's voice change. Shi Yu is not afraid that his voice will reveal his identity.
But they are different after all.
Just as Shi Yu was about to speak, he heard the person in his arms retching.
Shi Yu didn't need to speak now. Lin Qianning hurriedly urged him, "Hurry, take Xiao Yan back to the room to rest."
She also lifted her skirt and trotted after him.
Wei Shijun praised Abu for being clever, and then took Lin Qianning's arm. "Aunt Lin, don't worry. Qingyan is having morning sickness. Please be careful with your step."
Lin Qianning said worriedly, "Pregnancy is very difficult, and morning sickness is even more painful."
"Yes, I hope Dr. Jingyang can find some good way to stop vomiting." Wei Shijun agreed, but held her arm to prevent her from walking too fast.
We have to give Abu some time and let him lie back in bed.
Lin Qianning paused, "Thank goodness you reminded me. I've found a way. I'll prepare it right away."
At that time, she had severe pregnancy reactions, but she couldn't let anyone know that she was pregnant, so she had to read a lot of medical books on her own, and she actually found a folk remedy.
This folk remedy is simple to make, does not require the addition of medicinal herbs, and there is no need to worry about harming pregnant women and fetuses.
Wei Shijun was just looking for something to say, but unexpectedly, she turned and followed Lin Qianning towards the kitchen. "Then I'll accompany you."
Then he said casually, "There have been a lot of things going on recently. Qingyan sees that the prince is busy. Although she doesn't say it, I know she is very distressed in her heart.
Today, all the officials knew that the prince was going to send an envoy from Wei, so they did not come to look for him. The young couple had a rare chance to be alone.
I will learn this method from you so that I can help you in the future."
Lin Qianning also felt sorry for her son and liked Wei Qingyan, so she was naturally happy for them to be alone more, and she also thought about staying away from them in the future.
But she was not stupid, and she understood the meaning of Wei Shijun's words. Thinking about her interactions with the Wei sisters over the past few days, she realized that both sisters respected her very much.
If he didn't deliberately target her, then there must be other reasons for saying these things.
Her son and daughter-in-law are both big people, so if they don't say anything, they must have their reasons. Especially since she just woke up and is still unclear about many things and people, knowing them might do harm.
She just cooperates.
Then he followed Wei Shijun's words and said, "You might as well learn it. It will be useful when you and Lan Ting get married in the future.
However, you and Lanting are already engaged, so according to Lanting, you should call me Third Sister."
She patted Wei Shijun's hand, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Knowing that her daughter-in-law was not really in trouble, the tension in her heart relaxed and she began to tease her younger sister-in-law.
Wei Shijun hadn't expected that the seemingly obedient and delicate Lin Qianning had such a side to her, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Then please teach me well."
I'll write it down later and let Jingyang take a look. If it's useful, I'll send it to Qingyan, in case he needs it.
As she was thinking this, she heard Lin Qianning say softly, "It's actually very simple. Just fry the rice until it's browned, then add fresh apple peel and boil it in water. Let it sit for a quarter of an hour, then drink it. It will have a very good soothing effect."
Wei Shijun was listening attentively on this side, while on the other side, Shi Yu and Abu entered the house.
As soon as the door closed, Abu jumped off his brother-in-law and said, "Brother-in-law, I will pretend to be sleepy or have morning sickness in the room from now on."
Although he had followed his brother-in-law for several years in the Broken Evil Spear, and his brother-in-law was no different from his own brother in his heart, he still couldn't help but shudder when he saw two grown men hugging each other like this so often.
Shi Yu glanced at him and said, "For the safety of your sister, you have to act well. Go lie down on the bed first. I may need you to go out with Zhian in a few days."
Those people created the plague most likely to target Qingyan. They failed the last time they came to the mansion, and this time Abu was out, which gave them a chance.
"The situation in Lanting is tight, and Fengzhao's treasury is empty. Continuing the war will not benefit the people or the soldiers. Fengzhao needs to suspend this war as soon as possible."
He looked at Abu and said, "To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. I want you to pretend to be captured by them, and then take the opportunity to kill Prince Chilie."
The old Emperor Chi Lie is no longer able to govern. If the crown prince dies, the other princes will be caught in a fight for the throne. Before their new emperor ascends the throne, it will be Feng Zhao's chance to catch his breath.
Abu can become invisible, so if Chi Lie doesn't have someone who is good at magic, there is no need to worry about Abu's safety.
He is the most suitable and most likely to succeed assassin.
"That bastard actually dared to set his sights on my sister. Even if my brother-in-law didn't mention it, I would have found a way to chop off his head."
Speaking of business, Abu's expression also became serious, "However, since you haven't caught the traitor yet, I have a feeling that there are still many things going on.
If Chi Lie stops fighting, my brother-in-law will have more energy to reorganize the internal affairs and eliminate the remaining followers of Lin Wanzhi sooner.
Logically speaking, when the mother dies, the son inherits her business. Apart from Xiao Zhian, the most likely person who can recruit Lin Wanzhi's subordinates for his own use is Cao Yizhao.
It's just that he doesn't know of my existence. If he's really playing dumb and can do it without any flaws, then this person is even scarier than Lin Wanzhi. I'll continue to keep an eye on him tonight."
Although he hadn't discovered anything yet, he believed in his sister's intuition. His sister had been trained as a national defense general since she was a child, and she was a woman disguised as a man, so she developed an extremely cautious temperament and was more sensitive to danger.
Shi Yu did not object, "Then you should have a good rest during the day."
As he was speaking, Dongzang brought Jingyang over.
Jingyang felt Abu's pulse and was so shocked that he almost jumped up. Then he thought of something and took it again, "You you you...he he he..."
His gaze moved between Abu and Shi Yu, and then landed on Abu's jaw. There was no sign of disguise, so he couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
"Who are you?"
Abu blinked, "I am Wei Qingyan, your Crown Princess."
Jingyang, “…”
I don't believe you.
He knew the Crown Princess's pulse very well. Looking closely at the face of the person in front of him, he found that he was healthier than the Crown Princess. Looking at the shoulders and neck, he found that he was also bigger in build.
Obviously a man.
Otherwise, the prince would have stopped him when he was about to touch the other person's chin.
But he didn't ask much. Seeing Shi Yu handling his official business on his own, he and Abu stared at each other.
After staying in the room for a while pretending to be serious, he ran away with his medicine box, saying that he wanted to make some medicine to help the Crown Princess to stay pregnant.
When Lin Qianning arrived, Wei Qingyan had already fallen asleep, with the gauze curtains drawn, and Shi Yu was busy outside.
