Chapter 77 Flowers Bloom in Despair
Wei Qingyan and Liu He's first reaction was to think of Yu Zhengde. Concubine Li was not dead, and perhaps only Yu Zhengde knew where she was.
But neither of them looked at him.
Concubine Li faked her death and left the palace without telling the emperor.
Regardless of whether this person is good or bad, even considering the hundreds of lives in the Yu family mansion, Wei Qingyan would not turn his attention to Yu Zhengde at this juncture and arouse the emperor's suspicion.
After Liu He was anxious and conflicted, he finally chose to hide the fact that Concubine Li was still alive.
How could she have imagined that Luo Congyun, whom she had worked so hard to curry favor with, was not actually a princess.
The emperor had previously promised to spare her daughter's life because she raised the princess, but now the princess she raised is not a princess, and she has lost the real princess. Will the emperor still fulfill his previous promise?
Liu He's heart fell into an icy cave.
In this desperate situation, Yu Zhengde became her last hope.
I hope Yu Zhengde will try his best to save her child because she did not give up Concubine Li.
So, she quickly changed her words, "It's possible that someone switched them after I returned home. The princess didn't cry before, but she burst into tears when she got home.
Perhaps it was because the baby was no longer the same as before, the newborn was wrapped tightly. I took the child from the palace, but because I felt guilty and afraid, I didn't dare to take a close look at the child's appearance.
It's also possible that it was switched on the way to the Luo family. The road to Linzhou is too long, and anything could happen along the way, but I really didn't mean to..."
She seemed to be very frightened, her speech was incoherent, and finally she could not continue speaking and could only kowtow to the emperor.
If the emperor insisted on investigating what happened that year, there was no guarantee that he would find out that Yu Zhengde helped Concubine Li escape. If Yu Zhengde fell, her children would have no hope at all.
When Wei Qingyan heard Liu He change her words, he understood what she was thinking.
Liu He is not a good person, she has done many bad things, but she is a good mother.
She had never let her children get involved in any of the dirty things she had done, and now she was fully concerned about them.
Inappropriately, Wei Qingyan suddenly thought of his mother. He wondered if she had set out to return to Beijing at this time.
Lan Shu felt despair as she listened to Liu He's nonsensical words.
Concubine Li died.
Liu He's words did not provide any clues. Twenty-one years had passed since the incident, and there were so many people in the world. How could she find her daughter? Was her daughter still alive?
"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely help you find your child."
Wei Qingyan's low voice rang in her ears, like a seed cast into the barren land.
Lan Shu slowly, slowly turned her head to look at Wei Qingyan.
Meeting Wei Qingyan's resolute gaze, Lan Shu raised her hand and touched her head, "Okay."
The seeds blossomed in despair. Lan Shu believed in Wei Qingyan unconditionally. Her girl never boasted, and she would definitely do what she promised.
Her hand stroked the two swirls on Wei Qingyan's head. When she first met the bedridden girl, she became close to her because of these two swirls.
At that time, she thought that if her daughter were still alive, she would also have two swirls and would be as big as the girl.
Seeing her body covered in scars, with only her eyes able to move, her heart was filled with maternal love that seemed to overflow, and she felt extremely distressed.
In the end, her daughter survived bravely, and her insanity was much better because of the daughter's company. The daughter said that if she could find her child, she would definitely find it.
Lan Shu held Wei Qingyan's hand tightly, "Miss, Auntie wants to go back."
Without her child here, this place means nothing to her.
"Okay, let's go back."
Wei Qingyan responded, turned around and bowed to the emperor to take his leave.
The descendants of the Lan family do not have to kneel when they see the king, and there is no problem leaving.
This was the treatment that A-gu had fought for her, how could she let her down?
Feng Ruobao was not an incompetent person since he could become a eunuch who was useful to the emperor, but he caused the leader of the secret guards to commit suicide.
Wei Qingyan knew that the emperor was unwilling to delve into Huangshaling. Feng Ruobao was the emperor's man. Even if the emperor didn't say anything, a look or a subtle gesture would allow Feng Ruobao to understand his meaning.
It was the emperor who wanted the leader of the secret guards dead.
The Queen refused to admit it and accused Liu He of being a spy from Beiling. Liu He had no evidence to prove it, and the Queen had been banished to the cold palace. The Huangshaling incident would be shelved and there was no need for her to stay any longer.
After all, there are some people whose lives the emperor is unwilling to give, so she takes them herself.
There were some things that the emperor refused to investigate, so she investigated them herself.
The emperor wanted to keep Lan Shu, and he had a lot to say to her, but seeing her like that, he felt it was not good. In addition, the fact that she had resorted to self-mutilation in order to leave the palace had left a shadow on him until now, so he nodded.
As long as you stay in Beijing, there will always be a chance to see you again.
"You can't leave. I really am your daughter." Luo Congyun hurriedly called out to Lan Shu, "I really am a princess. How many swirls on my head can't be determined by humans. Maybe I am an exception."
There will be no exceptions, this is the inheritance of the Lan family.
Lan Shu didn't look back.
Luo Congyun looked at the emperor again, "Father, I really am a member of the royal family..."
The emperor glanced at the eunuch beside him, who understood and shouted, "How dare you! Your Majesty, you can't just shout nonsense like that! Impersonating a princess is punishable by death."
The eunuch's words brought Luo Congyun to an abrupt halt.
She entered the palace to enjoy wealth and glory, not to die. She turned and crawled in front of Liu He, "Aunt, aunt, tell the emperor that I am really his daughter."
Liu He hoped that she could be a princess even more than Luo Congyun did, but she was not. Her efforts for more than 20 years were wasted. Thinking of those fine brocades and pearl forks, she was reluctant to give them to her daughter, but wanted to send them to Luo Congyun.
Isn't it just that he wants to raise her well, so that when she regains her status in the future, the emperor and Luo Congyun will remember his kindness and then promote the Wu family?
But what Luo Congyun just said was that not only did he not appreciate her kindness, he also blamed her.
Liu He smiled bitterly, "I am stupid. Your Majesty is wise. How could there be a child as stupid as you? I should have been suspicious earlier."
These words dashed Luo Congyun's hopes. She ignored her fear and said hysterically, "You're lying, you're lying. I am a princess. I was born noble. How could I not be a princess? I am a princess..."
The eunuchs in the palace are the best at observing people's words and expressions.
Previously, when Luo Congyun called the emperor "father", the emperor did not object, but now he does not allow it, which means that Luo Congyun has no hope at all.
He then signaled for someone to drag Luo Congyun out.
Shi Yu coughed at the right moment and said, "Then I will take my leave now."
The emperor glanced at him, frowned, and waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
Yu Zhengde slowly moved in the corner, and after everyone left, he called out softly, "Your Majesty."
He came to apologize, and he didn't dare leave until he got a result from the emperor.
The emperor's eyes fell on him with an unfathomable expression, and he did not speak for a long time.
Yu Zhengde felt guilty and felt a chill down his spine and his heart was beating like a drum when he was stared at. He was worried that the emperor might suspect his affair with Concubine Li.
The emperor slowly spoke, "Yu Zhengde, your job is to manage my purse."
