Chapter 71 Aunt's Identity
No one was prepared for the person to come so fast, appearing in front of Liu He like a shadow.
By the time the officials from the Ministry of Justice reacted, Liu He was already in the hands of the newcomers.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you disrupt the court?" Xie Shen stood up and shouted, "Capture her."
Lan Shu seemed to be oblivious to Xie Shen's words and only stared at Liu He, "Where is the child?"
The strength in her hands gradually increased, and she lifted Liu He up from the ground.
Liu He was pinched so hard that he could hardly breathe, but he still insisted, "I want to see His Majesty. I will tell you the details when I see His Majesty."
The officers drew their swords and stepped forward upon receiving the order. Lan Shu waved her sleeves, and several officers fell face down on the ground.
Liu He and Xie Shen's expressions changed.
The prince also frowned and secretly signaled to the guard beside him, indicating that he should quickly go to the palace to inform the queen of what happened here.
Shi Yu looked at Dong Zang, and Dong Zang understood and followed the prince's guards with two secret guards.
"Come here." Seeing the Ministry of Justice's officers were so useless, Xie Shen shouted again angrily, "Catch her."
"Wait." Shi Yu glanced at Wei Qingyan, who was in disguise in the crowd, and spoke at the right time, "Thank you, sir. I also want to know the answer to the question raised by this senior. Is the child Liu He mentioned the heir to the throne of His Majesty?
This is also part of the interrogation, don't you want to know?"
"Interrogation is my duty. She is a person of unknown origin who barged into the court and interrupted my investigation. She deserves to be punished."
The Huangshaling incident was already a headache for the Queen because it involved her. If Liu He was allowed to reveal that the Queen was plotting to murder the royal heir, it would be difficult to resolve the situation.
The prince had the same idea and signaled his guards to come forward to help.
Wei Qingyan, hidden in the crowd, said, "This lady is so agitated, it must be understandable. Why don't you ask her why she appeared? And why is she so anxious to find out the whereabouts of the child?"
"Yes, if there is no reason, who would have gone to court?" Wei Qingyan changed his voice again.
Led by her, the rest of the onlookers followed suit.
Lan Shu recognized it as Wei Qingyan's voice and understood what she meant.
She originally thought that the girl came to Beijing for revenge, and that exposing her identity might bring trouble to the girl, but what the girl had just said meant that she should not care and just do what she wanted.
She had come to accompany the girl to watch the interrogation.
I never expected to hear Liu He's words.
She raised her hand and took off the hood on her head. She looked at Xie Shen with cold eyes, "Uncle Xie, do you think I am qualified to stand in this court?"
When Xie Shen saw the person, he had some vague guesses in his mind.
But when he actually saw that face, he was still shocked and blurted out, "Concubine Shu?"
How is she still alive?
"Concubine Shu? Isn't she the victim harmed by the Queen? The victim is certainly qualified to stand here." Wei Qingyan spoke again.
She only knew that A-gu had been hurt by love and had been mentally ill for several years, but she didn't know that the man who hurt A-gu was actually the emperor, and A-gu was the concubine Shu back then.
Thinking of the news he had heard from Nanny Chen that day, Wei Qingyan was filled with anger, but even more of it was heartache for his aunt.
No wonder, when she first met Auntie, she hugged a pillow and coaxed me gently, and refused to let go.
No wonder, when A-gu saw her, she doted on her so much.
Auntie was thinking about her child, but she always thought that the child was dead and transferred all her maternal love to her.
Thanks to Auntie for loving him for nearly three years, how could Wei Qingyan not let Auntie go to find his child for fear of being implicated?
Although she already knew in her heart that the child Liu He was talking about was Luo Congyun.
Thinking that Luo Congyun was A'gu's child, Wei Qingyan's heart sank.
The onlookers sighed, "No wonder she's so excited. How could a mother not be excited when she heard her child was still alive?"
Lan Shu's eyes became even colder.
yes.
How could she not be excited knowing that her child was still alive.
"Where is my child?"
She drew a thin blade from her waist.
Just when everyone thought she would use the thin blade to threaten Liu He, she directly inserted the thin blade into Liu He's right eye.
Liu He was already choking to the point of being unable to breathe, and this pain made her faint.
Shi Yu blinked lightly, as if he understood why Wei Qingyan had such a good relationship with Concubine Shu. The two of them were so similar in their clean and efficient nature.
He stood up and said, "Since Liu He wants to enter the palace and won't speak until he sees His Majesty, then go into the palace. I think my brother also wants to know where his child is."
"Uncle, the truth of this matter is still unknown. How can you bring someone into the palace just based on a mad woman's random accusations?" The Crown Prince intervened. "Liu He is colluding with Beiling. What if he enters the palace and harms your father?"
"Xie Yunmian's son is nothing special." Lan Shu turned her gaze towards him, her eyes tinged with sarcasm. "Even if I can't catch her, there are still imperial guards in the palace, and the emperor has countless secret guards around him. How can we not do anything to a powerless Liu He?
Or are you feeling guilty and trying to cover up something scandalous for your mother?"
As she spoke, she loosened Liu He's neck, tied Liu He's hands behind her back, kicked the hood with her toes, and when the hood rose to her hand, she raised her hand and pulled, and the black gauze on the hood was torn off.
In a few moments, he tied Liu He's hands with black gauze, and holding her up, he looked at Xie Shen and said, "Uncle Xie, if you are worried about not being able to keep an eye on her, then follow."
The prince was furious. "The Ministry of Justice has so many officials. When will it be your turn to escort the prisoner?"
He looked at Xie Shen meaningfully.
Xie Shen immediately understood what he meant. Liu He could not enter the palace alive.
How could Shi Yu not understand the dispute between the uncle and nephew? He smiled and said, "Then let Dali Temple Junior Secretary Gong and Anyuan Hou escort them together.
Since this involves the Queen, the Crown Prince and Lord Xie should avoid suspicion. Moreover, there are so many civilians escorting them, so why should they be worried? "
These words almost told the prince and Xie Shen nakedly that he did not trust them.
Lan Shu glanced at Wei Qingyan calmly, and when she nodded, she said, "Okay."
Du Xueyi hurried forward, took Liu He from Lan Shu, and said to the prince, "Your Highness, don't worry. Lord Gong and I will definitely send him alive to Your Majesty."
The Crown Prince was filled with hatred. When he looked at Shi Yu, his dark eyes were filled with cruelty. He said in a cold voice, "The Emperor's uncle has always been a mischievous person. Three years ago, he disrespected the emperor and attacked Beiling without permission. Are you going to disregard the laws of the Great Wei and act recklessly again today?"
When the late emperor was alive, this imperial uncle relied on his favor to do whatever he wanted and never took him, the eldest grandson and future emperor, seriously.
Now he is trapped in the capital, looking sickly, yet still so arrogant.
Damn it.
"Beiling is despicable. He set an ambush and killed the pillars of our great Wei State. Shouldn't we fight him?
Which law of the Wei Dynasty did I violate? The Crown Prince is hesitant. Even a woman like Concubine Shu has agreed. What is the Crown Prince still worried about?
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.
The prince had no choice but to follow. While he was angry at Shi Yu for scolding him for being a prince of a country but not as courageous as a woman like Concubine Shu, he prayed in his heart that the guard who had just left could inform his mother of the news in time so that his mother could think of a response plan.
Xie Shen was also anxious. The Xie family valued its reputation the most and could do many things in secret, but they could not allow anyone to get any evidence against them openly.
With so many people around, and Liu He being surrounded by people with strong martial arts skills like Du Xueyi and Concubine Shu, assassination is almost impossible.
He quickly signaled to his closest attendant, asking him to go back and tell his father, the Prime Minister of the current cabinet, that he hoped Prime Minister Xie could find a way to resolve the Queen's predicament.
