Chapter 64 He hopes that she will have him by her side for the rest of her life
After Wei Qingyan left Yu Mansion, he went straight out of the city and went to the temple where Shi Yu was recuperating.
Coincidentally, Shi Yu was also there.
"I'm here to see Nanny Chen." Wei Qingyan looked at him. "Did you do anything about the Third Miss of the Yu Mansion?"
The leg of the eldest son of the Yu family was her work. She wanted to make the people in the Yu family believe that there was really a ghost grudge in the Yu family, so that they would tell the truth.
But Miss Yu San's coma was too sudden. She thought of how Shi Yu could make Nanny Chen fake her death, so she guessed it was him.
Shi Yu did not deny it and nodded, "Yu Zhengde loves this daughter and legitimate son the most. He will only trust you if something happens to the two people he cares about."
Wei Qingyan's eyes were complicated.
Just like before, he could think of many things and do them for her without her having to say anything. She nodded and said, "Thank you."
Shi Yu curled his lips and said, "Let Dong Zang take you there."
"Thank you." Wei Qingyan nodded and looked at Dong Zang.
The two of them had no more extra words to say.
Shi Yu looked at Wei Qingyan's back, and his eyes darkened.
She was unconscious that day, and he held her in his arms all night, but she showed no improvement.
Du Xueyi pretended to be angry and asked him to take care of her personally. He then realized that his previous guess was correct. Du Xueyi knew that their physical contact would help her recovery, so he made such a request.
Looking at the lifeless person in his arms, the pain of watching her die in front of him at Huangshaling came back to him, and he found that he could no longer bear the pain of losing her.
He kissed her.
He remembered that she did this when she was drunk.
But she still showed no signs of waking up.
On the second night, he took off their clothes, and they were naked facing each other. He held her in his arms and kissed her again, and she finally felt a pulse.
As smart as she is, how could she not guess how I woke her up.
How did he know the secret of her resurrection?
Why should he cooperate with her and be nice to her?
Xiao Yan must have thought about these questions.
But when they met today, she didn't ask anything.
She still didn't want to recognize him.
She came to Beijing for revenge. Perhaps, Xiao Yan had made plans from the beginning to leave after the success.
He thought that as long as she was still alive, everything would be fine.
But now, he is greedy.
She hoped to have him by her side for the rest of her days.
Shi Yu put his hands behind his back and walked into the basement.
Wei Qingyan had been with Shi Yu for more than ten years, and she was not unaware of his strange mood, but for her, revenge was the most important thing.
There is no need to give people hope for things that are destined to have no results.
She strode up to Nanny Chen and asked, "Whose daughter is Luo Congyun?"
After hearing this, Nanny Chen was stunned for a moment.
She thought Prince Rong's men had brought her here to ask about Huangshaling, but she didn't expect them to ask about this. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, "The child of His Majesty and Concubine Shu."
Wei Qingyan's eyes swept over her. She had signs of torture on her body. It was obvious that she had been entertained by the people in Prince Rong's Mansion, which was why she was so honest. He asked again, "Where is the other child?"
"Dead."
Dead?
Wei Qingyan frowned slightly, "Who orchestrated this child-swapping drama? And how did that child die?"
Nanny Chen lowered her head and did not answer immediately.
Dong Zang spoke up, "I don't want to go through what I just went through again. It's best to tell the truth. The prince might spare your life."
Hearing that there was hope for survival, Nanny Chen gritted her teeth and said, "It's Concubine Li."
Concubine Li was another concubine of the emperor when he was the crown prince. She is no longer alive.
"Concubine Li was jealous that Concubine Shu had stolen her favor and had children, so she had two skinned kittens prepared and exchanged them for the two children.
One of them died at birth, and Concubine Li asked my wife to take the child out of the palace and bury him.
Seeing that His Majesty was deeply in love with Concubine Shu, my wife kept the living child without telling Concubine Li, hoping to find an opportunity to send the child back to Concubine Shu to change his future.
But unexpectedly, Concubine Shu couldn't bear the blow and went crazy. The emperor was no longer as attentive to her as before, but the child had already been sent to the Luo family to be raised..."
"It just so happened that the Luo family had no daughter, so Madam Wu decided to take a gamble. Later, she found that her gamble was right. The emperor was still thinking about the concubine Shu who had gone mad and left the palace. So, she thought of finding an opportunity to send Luo Congyun to the emperor.
Saving the daughter of the emperor's beloved woman was a great achievement, and it would definitely bring a good future to the Wu family.
But Concubine Li has been dead for many years. Why doesn't she dare to betray Concubine Li and send the child to the emperor?
Wei Qingyan interrupted her.
"Because the person behind Madam Wu is not Concubine Li at all, but the Queen." Shi Yu glanced at Dong Zang.
Dongzang lowered his head in guilt.
Wei Qingyan nodded in her heart. This was why she interrupted Nanny Chen's nonsense.
Nanny Chen's pupils shrank sharply, but she quickly calmed down and said, "No, it was Concubine Li who asked my wife to take the child away.
Madam originally wanted to tell His Majesty, but after what Miss Luo and Luo Chengzhou did, their reputations were ruined, so Madam didn't dare take the risk and decided to wait."
Seeing that she was still lying, Shi Yu looked at Dong Zang and said, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour."
Nanny Chen understood what Shi Yu meant. She had just said something half-truthful, and Prince Rong was about to torture her again. She hurriedly said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
She dared not go through the punishment worse than death again.
Wei Qingyan didn't want to hear it anymore, so he changed the question, "Who was it that ordered Madam Wu to hunt down Yan Qing and didn't want the National Protection Army to return to the capital alive, the Queen or the Crown Prince?"
Nanny Chen suddenly looked up at Wei Qingyan and muttered, "Queen, it was the Queen who ordered the Master and the Madam not to mobilize the troops."
Shi Yu looked at Wei Qingyan with admiration. He just said that it was the Queen who really harmed Concubine Shu, and she immediately thought of the incident at Huangshaling.
Wei Qingyan did not ask why the Queen did this. It was rare for Nanny Chen, a servant, to know that the person behind Madam Wu was the Queen. How could she also know the Queen's purpose?
But Dong Zang asked, "Why did the Queen want to harm General Wei?"
"I don't know. I only knew that Your Majesty had someone to rely on in the capital, and that person was the Empress. I only found out about this incident when I came to the capital this time. I'm not lying. I really don't know..."
Nanny Chen didn't know, but Wei Qingyan guessed a thing or two.
The Queen once intended to win her over to serve the Crown Prince, but she refused. However, she had a good relationship with Shi Yu, who was deeply favored by the late Emperor and had the power of 100,000 soldiers.
The emperor was wary of him and Shi Yu joining forces, and so was the empress. Since ancient times, there had been cases of uncles ascending to the throne by surpassing their nephews.
Anyone in that deep palace who has power, or even has the slightest possibility of being disadvantageous to them, they will try their best to get rid of.
If the emperor had this intention, she could take the opportunity to please him.
But does the emperor really not know what the queen has done?
How could Shi Yu not think of what Wei Qingyan could think of? He looked at Wei Qingyan apologetically.
Wei Qingyan looked at Nanny Chen again, "Who killed Yan Qing?"
Only then did her eyes reveal murderous intent. Nanny Chen's heart trembled, not daring to hide it, "The Queen's people."
"Where did he die?"
"Yong... the mountains outside Yongzhou City... in the valley..." Nanny Chen stuttered as she thought of Yan Qing's death.
She didn't know who the person in front of her was, but when this person mentioned Yan Qing, the murderous aura on her body was more terrifying than any noble lady in the capital she had ever seen before.
After that, she didn't dare to hide anything from Wei Qingyan's questions and answered them honestly.
When leaving, Wei Qingyan thought of the Yu Mansion and asked again, "What is the relationship between Madam Wu and Yu Zhengde?"
