Chapter 96 Earthbound Spirit
After doing all this, Wei Qingyan returned to the foot of the cliff in silence.
Another skeleton was found under a big tree not far away.
The bones were very old and stuck in the mud. The bones were covered with vines and tree roots. It was probably the one who showed them the way last night.
Seeing Wei Qingyan squatting down and trying to pick up the bones with his bare hands, Jingzhe hurriedly said, "Miss Chang, let's do it."
Now that he saw the corpse, Jingzhe was no longer afraid.
Seeing this, the other guards also squatted down to help, pushing Wei Qingyan aside.
Jingzhe also imitated Shi Yu and took off his outer robe, spreading it on the ground, and asked again, "Miss Chang, do you want to bury her here? Or take her away?"
Wei Qingyan knew their good intentions, so he simply stepped aside and replied, "He is a member of the Shi family, the prince of Yu."
He died here ten years ago, his soul trapped here, becoming an earthbound spirit.
Prince Yu?
Jingzhe looked surprised.
After the previous emperor ascended the throne, all the members of the Shi family were granted titles and became royal relatives.
But the Shi family was an ordinary family, and there were not many talented people. Most of them took idle positions and became rich and idle people.
Prince Yu was the late emperor's cousin, and Prince Yu's son Shi Chengze was his firstborn son. He was once a well-known unlearned person in the capital.
Ten years ago, she took away most of Prince Yu's family property and eloped with a male actor, becoming a laughing stock in the capital.
Prince Yu was extremely disappointed with his son, so he expelled him from the house in anger and asked the head of the royal family to remove him from the royal jade butterfly.
Would Prince Yu's Mansion still want Chengze's remains at this point, or would they bury them on the spot?
He looked at his master.
Shi Yu replied, "Bring it back to the capital."
There are many possibilities for the eloped person to be found dead in this desolate wilderness.
But listening to Xiao Yan's previous conversation with Shi Chengze, there was injustice here. Considering the current situation of Prince Yu's Mansion, I am afraid that this elopement is not that simple.
Jingzhe received the order and quickly dug out the bones with the others.
It was already evening when the group returned to the villa.
After Wei Qingyan washed off the blood and changed into clean clothes, he said to Lan Shu, "Aunt, please go into the city and order coffins for Yan Qing and Prince Yu."
Lan Shu was holding the ointment and planned to treat the wound on Wei Qingyan's hand before leaving.
Shi Yu's voice rang out from outside the door, "I've sent someone. Can I come in?"
After he came back, he quickly washed and changed his clothes, then came to Wei Qingyan. Knowing that she was washing inside, he waited outside.
Wei Qingyan stood up and opened the door.
After taking a look at the bloody back of Wei Qingyan's hand, Shi Yu pulled her to sit opposite him, took out the ointment from his sleeve and applied a thick layer of it on the back of her hand.
Lan Shu, whose job was snatched away, silently handed over the white fine cotton cloth.
Prince Rong knew that loving the girl was a good thing.
It is also a good thing to let him see the other side of the girl. The more he understands the girl, the easier it is for the relationship to last if his feelings remain unchanged.
After all, life is not just about romance.
"I'll have someone make you a pair of protective shields. Wear them next time you want to take action." Shi Yu said in a low voice.
Wei Qingyan nodded lightly.
Shi Yu dropped the topic, knowing that Wei Qingyan needed an outlet at that time.
When people are extremely emotional, how can they care about whether they will hurt their hands?
He only hoped that in the future when she felt sorry for others, she could also take care of herself.
Wei Qingyan understood what he was thinking and replied, "I understand."
She knew what she looked like last night. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be scared away.
"So good." Shi Yu touched her head lovingly. "When I was in my fiefdom, I learned from the old coroner how to restore a corpse. I have to do this for Yan Qing..."
Before Shi Yu could finish speaking, Wei Qingyan nodded hurriedly.
Yan Lan must have hoped that Yan Qing could be buried intact, even if it was not his real body.
Her reaction was within Shi Yu's expectations. Shi Yu stood up and said, "Okay, I'll have someone prepare it and it will be ready tomorrow.
I've already sent a letter to have someone keep an eye on Prince Yu's Mansion. You should have a good rest first, and we'll discuss everything after we return to the capital."
Prince Rong had already arranged everything the girl had thought of, and Lan Shu couldn't help but feel happy for Wei Qingyan.
There are some things you can do yourself, but the meaning is different. Only when a person has you in his heart will he consider you in everything.
Wei Qingyan didn't know that Lan Shu had a better opinion of Shi Yu. She left the room with Shi Yu and went to see Yan Lan.
Yan Lan didn't cry, but just stared at Yan Qing's broken bones without blinking.
Wei Qingyan knew that any words of comfort would be unnecessary at this moment, so he quietly returned to his room and wrote a secret letter to Du Xueyi that only Du Xueyi could understand.
The letter explained three things.
The first thing is the matter of the assassin entering the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, which will put pressure on Xie Shen again.
The second thing was to dig out the body of the deposed queen and throw it into the mountains.
The third thing was that before she left Beijing, she prepared 20,000 taels of silver and asked Du Xueyi to bring secret guards to secretly distribute it to the poor people in Beijing at night in the name of the National Protection Army.
It is a way to thank them for their efforts in the Huangshaling incident over the past few days, and it is also to let the people of the world remember the National Protection Army.
Yan Qing followed her to fight in the Sand City, bravely killing the enemy and being a hero who protected the country, but he died at the foot of that cliff, his bones cut by wind and rain, scorched by the scorching sun, and frightened by thunder and lightning, and even his body was not intact after his death.
And the 20,000 brothers who died in Huangshaling...
She hoped that when Yan Qing returned to the capital, the people of Wei who were protected by the National Protection Army would welcome him and then bring up the Huangshaling incident again.
She wants to pull out the people behind this one by one and grind them into dust.
As Wei Qingyan thought about it, the anger in his body began to emerge again.
Lan Shu put her hands on her temples at the right time and said, "Girl, take a break. Justice is clear, and Yan Qing's revenge will be avenged."
She and Shi Jin had been husband and wife before, and she understood him. If there was no hidden secret, he would not have failed to investigate the matter of Huangshaling.
The queen may be the murderer, but there must be other involvements behind this, and these involvements will harm Shi Jin's interests, or even the interests of the royal family.
Going against the royal family, her daughter's path will be difficult.
But we have to go.
Lan Shu smeared some soothing ointment on her hands, spread it evenly between her fingertips, and then applied it to Wei Qingyan's temples, pressing gently.
He whispered, "Miss, don't be afraid, Auntie will be with you, and Prince Rong will also be with you..."
As Wei Qingyan listened to her soft whispers, his anger gradually dissipated and he slowly closed his eyes.
Lan Shu knew that she was alert, so she didn't dare to move. She just let her lean on her arms and take a nap for a while.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wei Qingyan opened her eyes and said, "Aunt, I have to go to Prince Jing's Mansion."
The resentful person said that after the Queen's secret guards killed Yan Qing and left, another man in black appeared, as if to confirm whether Yan Qing was dead.
Yongzhou is the fief of King Jing. Several groups of people have come here one after another. Does he really know nothing?
Lan Shu knew her very well and had already prepared night clothes for both of them.
She also wanted to see what kind of person Madam Wei was, to be so cold-hearted to the girl.
But she never expected to see such a shocking scene.
