Chapter 440 Test
Wei Shijun was the first to whisper, "What did Jingyang say?"
"Sleepy."
Shi Yu put down the official document and said, "A minister will come to look for me later. I have to go to the study. Please, Third Sister, keep an eye on me here."
Wei Shijun made a reassuring gesture.
Shi Yu took the tray from Lin Qianning and asked, "Mother, what is this?"
Lin Qianning then explained its use.
Shi Yu immediately thought of how difficult it was for Lin Qianning to be pregnant with him. He handed the tray to Wei Shijun and helped Lin Qianning sit down. "Thank you for your trouble. Your son will thank you on behalf of Qingyan."
After a pause, he continued, "Lin Wanzhi left behind a lot of troubles that were not good for Qingyan, so my son made some arrangements.
Please also be careful. The two maids I've assigned to you are both quite skilled. If you need to go out, please take them with you."
Given how much my mother values Qingyan, she must have come to visit him from time to time in the past few days. If she finds out, she might be sad.
So Shi Yu decided to tell his mother in a subtle way. He didn't want his mother to think that he was on guard against her and feel uncomfortable about it.
He also has confidence that his mother will not do anything bad.
After hearing Shi Yu's words, Lin Qianning's guess was confirmed, and she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, mother understands. Mother is not going anywhere and will stay in her own yard."
Shi Yu saw that she was afraid of being a burden to him, and his heart softened, and he quickly relaxed his expression, "Mother, you misunderstood. There is no place in this mansion that you cannot go.
It's just that the son suspected that there were still remnants of Lin Wanzhi in the mansion, so he was cautious.
Qingyan is not good at housework, so if you have some free time, I would like you to help make some clothes, shoes and socks for the child, and spend some time with Qingyan."
Lin Qianning glanced inside and understood after a little thought.
Not long after she and her son met, her daughter-in-law became pregnant. It was indeed time for her to visit her daughter-in-law more often.
This way, people wouldn't be suspicious, so he smiled and said, "Okay."
She was very happy that her son trusted her and decided to cooperate well.
So as soon as Shi Yu left, she went to the warehouse and selected several pieces of cloth in a high-profile manner.
After hearing this, Shi Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart. His mother had never said anything sentimental, but she always thought about him. He was glad that he had not thought of hiding it from her.
In a three-story house in the imperial city, a man in black was also talking about everything in the Prince's Mansion.
Leng Jian sat at the desk, frowned and said nothing after listening.
Both the Venerable and the Butcher Knife fell into the hands of Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan, who were too cunning.
Based on his previous understanding of Shi Yu, Shi Yu regarded Wei Qingyan as his life. Now that he knew that Chi Lie had the intention of kidnapping Wei Qingyan, was he really at ease letting Wei Qingyan stay in Fengzhao?
Moreover, all the envoys from the Great Wei had left. You should know that those people who came from the Great Wei were all Wei Qingyan's helpers.
"Did the person who delivered the message see Wei Qingyan's face clearly?"
All the people that the Venerable had previously arranged in the Prince's Mansion were eliminated by Shi Yu after the Venerable got into trouble.
The one who is still here now is the one he took the trouble to plant early on when he was purchasing servants in the Prince's Mansion after listening to the young master. Even the Venerable is unaware of his existence, and his background is clean, which is why he has not been discovered.
But after all, the other party was just an old woman who did rough work, and she might not be able to find out the truth.
The subordinate replied, "Wei Qingyan's foot was injured. After he got off the carriage, Shi Yu carried him into the mansion. Our people were sweeping the courtyard at the time and saw it clearly.
Afterwards, Lin Qianning and Jingyang went to the kitchen one after another, one to make a folk remedy to stop morning sickness, and the other to make medicine to maintain the pregnancy.
Not long after, Lin Qianning went to the warehouse again, picked up some cloth and went to Wei Qingyan's yard, saying that she wanted Wei Qingyan to personally select the cloth so that she could make clothes for her children.
Our people found out that Wei Qingyan was indeed speaking in the room.
Furthermore, the defenses at the Crown Prince's Mansion are now tighter than before, so I believe the news is correct."
Leng Jian said, "I was able to escape from the palace that day and take you away in time because I was cautious enough."
He had made preparations for both scenarios early on. If the Venerable won, he would share the world with him. If the Venerable lost, he would retreat as planned immediately.
Just as he was loyal to the Venerable while secretly surrendering to the Young Master, the Young Master ordered his men to secretly take away the Mother Gu that was holding his life while the Venerable was not paying attention, and to remove the Gu for him in time.
In the years ahead, he would be more cautious. "First, send someone to keep an eye on the Wei army. If there's nothing unusual, notify Chi Lie to take action."
After a pause, he continued, "Find another house to move to before noon tomorrow."
If Shi Yu and the others were trying to trick him, then they might be able to find this place based on that old woman.
Since it concerns everyone's life, I quickly agreed.
He waved the arrow away and changed his clothes, becoming a hunchbacked old man, carrying a bamboo basket and going out to the street.
Wei Qingyan and Qingwu have always had a good relationship. If she wants to leave, she might tell Qingwu. Perhaps he should test Qingwu's reaction.
How could Qing Wu, who had been worrying about Feng Zhao for half her life, just abandon him like that? Moreover, Feng Zhao had been in trouble one after another recently, and none of them were trivial matters. Going to the Prince's Mansion had become her daily routine recently.
Not long after the carriage left the house today, an old man fell in front of the carriage and was almost trampled by the horse's hooves.
The bamboo basket on the old man's shoulder fell sideways to the ground, and the green oranges inside rolled everywhere.
The old man knelt down hurriedly, "Please spare me, my lord, please spare me. I didn't mean to do that. My granddaughter-in-law is pregnant and has difficulty eating and drinking. I wanted to send her some green tangerines, but I was so anxious that I lost my balance and disturbed you. Please spare me..."
Qing Wu in the carriage listened to the old man's plea for mercy and lifted the curtain. Seeing the old man's dark skin and frightened face, she waved her hand and told the driver, "Pick up his things and get them ready so we can leave as soon as possible."
As she was speaking, the unique sour smell of the green orange made her sniff and swallow subconsciously.
After sizing the old man up again and confirming that he looked like a typical farmer, Fang asked, "You said you sent these green tangerines to your granddaughter-in-law. I see they're not ripe yet. Are they edible?"
She covered her lips with a round fan and swallowed secretly again.
The old man hurriedly replied, "Your Excellency, you don't know that ordinary people like us can't eat sour food, but my granddaughter-in-law likes it since she got pregnant.
My old wife loves her granddaughter-in-law, so she asked me to pick some and send them to her."
"Do you have any more at home?"
The old man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes."
Qing Wu said, "Then sell these to me. I'm about to meet the Crown Princess. I wonder if she likes them."
When he heard her say that the green tangerines were to be given to the Crown Princess, the old man quickly said that he didn't want any money and would give them to Qingwu for free.
How could Qingwu, a princess, take advantage of the common people? She ordered people to give her some silver and then carried Qingju onto the carriage.
Afterwards, he asked the accompanying female doctor to check it out. After finding nothing wrong, he quickly had one peeled and ate it with gusto, saying, "Strange, the Japanese imperial concubine was always afraid of something so sour that would make your teeth fall out, but now she finds it very delicious. Maybe Qingyan would like it too."
The old man secretly followed the carriage. After hearing this, a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of his lips.
It seems that he and the young master were worrying too much, and their plan can continue.
