Chapter 82 What kind of shocking conspiracy
What does it mean unless everyone dies?
No matter how Wei Qingyan and Lan Shu pressed the issue, it was to no avail. The queen had gone completely mad and just kept shouting those words over and over again, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
Finally, she even hung her neck in the cloth strip, which made Wei Qingyan feel a little uneasy.
The emperor is unwilling to investigate what happened back then, and the queen, despite her mental breakdown, still refuses to reveal a single word. What kind of earth-shattering conspiracy was behind Huangshaling back then?
Neither of them tried to stop the queen from hanging herself, and they couldn't get anything out of her. There was no point in her living anymore, and it was time for her to pay for her evil deeds.
After the queen completely lost her breath, Wei Qingyan extracted her obsession.
There is no clue about Huangshaling, nor the whereabouts of Lan Shu's child. The queen's obsession is to be with the emperor for the rest of her life and share the world with him.
Because of her obsession, she hurt people wantonly. Wei Qingyan felt hateful and pathetic at the same time.
This is a world where people have three wives and four concubines. It is extremely difficult to have a loving relationship like that between my eldest sister and her brother-in-law.
What's more, she was also greedy for wealth, power and status. She chose the emperor as her husband. How could the emperor only have her? Even if the emperor wanted to, all the civil and military officials in the court and the royal family would find ways to fill his harem with women.
Unless the emperor is strong enough to resist all external pressure.
Obviously, the emperor did not have that ability, or after weighing the pros and cons, women and love were far less important to him than power and wealth.
Otherwise, the aunt who loved him in the past would not appear in this cold palace today for revenge.
"Let's go, aunt." Wei Qingyan held Lan Shu's cold hand.
Lan Shu nodded, shook her hand back, took a step forward, and walked in front of Wei Qingyan.
The two men left the queen's courtyard and slipped into a deserted courtyard next to it.
It is not easy to enter the palace. All the women who died in the cold palace were defeated in the harem, and most of them were resentful. Wei Qingyan wanted to take the opportunity to explore some scenes in the cold palace to see if he could find any useful clues.
But what surprised her was that this cold palace was very "clean", so clean that there was not a trace of resentment.
How is this possible?
Wei Qingyan walked through almost the entire cold palace, and apart from seeing a few living people who were either crazy or unable to sleep and lying in bed with their eyes open, he did not find any resentment.
She told Lan Shu about the incident, "Aunt, this is too unusual. I want to go to the slave house again to take a look."
Wei Qingyan was always thinking about Abu's life experience. There was no resentment in the cold palace, but what about the prison for criminals?
She wanted to find out.
Lan Shu had been in the palace before and knew that people in this richest place in the world were more likely to develop obsessions than those outside.
Ordinary people may only seek to survive with enough food and clothing, but those in the palace pursue greater and more. If they fail to achieve their wishes, the resentment they will feel in the afterlife will only be greater.
The situation the girl described was not just unusual, it was simply weird.
"Girl, did you encounter this on your way here? Is it not in this cold palace, or in the entire imperial palace?" Lan Shu asked in a low voice.
Lan Shu has been with Wei Qingyan and the fat monk for several years, and has some understanding of resentment.
If there is no resentment in the entire palace, there will be big trouble.
The imperial palace is the most filthy place in the world, how could there be no resentment?
Fortunately, Wei Qingyan said, "I have encountered it, but so far I have only found abnormalities in the cold palace."
"Then let's go to the slave camp." Lan Shu immediately agreed.
Wei Qingyan was no stranger to the prison for criminals, and the two of them quickly found the place.
Those imprisoned in the penal colony were either members of the royal family of the previous dynasty or family members of criminal officials.
From being high and mighty royal nobles or official families, they became prisoners, trapped in a courtyard surrounded by high walls, day after day, with no hope in sight. One can imagine the resentment they would feel after death.
However, the slave camp was just like the cold palace, with nothing in it.
It even made Wei Qingyan wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes.
Therefore, she left the slave house and entered the palace of a concubine, where she saw the resentment of several palace maids and eunuchs.
Only then did she realize that her eyes were not malfunctioning, but that the resentment in the cold palace and the slave camp had disappeared.
Or it was cleaned up.
There are people in the palace who understand the mysterious arts.
This was Wei Qingyan’s first reaction.
That person took away the resentment.
There are so many uses for resentment that Wei Qingyan couldn't figure it out for a moment.
If a ghost becomes a demon, it will absorb other people's resentment to enhance its power, but Wei Qingyan ruled out this possibility.
After all, the devil is a devil. Unlike humans, it does not have a complete consciousness and does not know how to be cautious and careful. If there really is a devil in the harem, it will surely devour the resentment of the entire palace and even the entire capital.
Moreover, she did not sense the presence of the devil.
It could only be a human being, someone who could move around in the cold palace and among the criminal slaves.
The resentment in other parts of the palace could not be absorbed. Was it because that person was inconvenient to go to those places, or was it because he didn't have time?
Wei Qingyan planned to come back to the palace after some time to see what was going on.
The two had to leave the palace temporarily, but were stopped by a dark shadow outside the Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
The shadow stopped about ten feet away from them and bowed to Lan Shu, saying, "My Lady, the Master invites you to chat for a moment."
The only one who can wait here is probably the emperor.
Lan Shu glanced at Wei Qingyan and said, "Miss, go back first. I'll be there later."
When she decided to take off her hood and reveal her true face, she thought that she and the emperor would meet sooner or later.
From the fact that the two of them entered and left the palace smoothly tonight and the attitude of the black shadow towards A'gu, Wei Qingyan could tell that the emperor would not do anything to A'gu, but he was still afraid of what might happen.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Lan Shu knew that she was worried about herself, so she said to the black shadow, "I'll wait for him at Feng Xiaoyuan."
After saying that, he jumped onto the wall first and entered the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, and Wei Qingyan followed.
The black shadow stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time.
Someone actually dared to disobey His Majesty's order and asked His Majesty to go find her in person.
But the person had disappeared, and the black shadow had no choice but to return to a courtyard not far away and tell the emperor what Lan Shu said.
Wei Qingyan and the other man entered Fengxiaoyuan.
Before the emperor arrived, a secret guard from the Anyuan Marquisate appeared first, "Miss, there's movement in the Ministry of Justice's prison."
"Is it the Xie family?" Wei Qingyan frowned.
She guessed that someone wanted to kill Liu He, so she asked the secret guards to keep an eye on that end. Unexpectedly, the Xie family couldn't hold back and was so eager to take action.
The secret guard nodded.
Wei Qingyan hesitated slightly.
She should go to the Ministry of Justice, but the emperor should come to see A'gu.
What if, talking about the past, it upsets Auntie again...
Lan Shu comforted her, "Girl, go ahead. I'll explain some things to him and then I'll come find you. Nothing will happen."
Her relationship with the girl, and why they stayed in the palace after killing the queen tonight, all required a reason for the emperor to avoid focusing his attention on the girl and ruining her revenge.
If Wei Qingyan had not discovered that the resentment of the cold palace and the criminal slaves had disappeared, he would not have rushed to the Ministry of Justice.
Liu He had revealed everything she knew, and her accusation against the queen, following the queen's denial and the suicide of the leader of the Fengyi Palace secret guards, came to nothing and was unlikely to cause any further commotion.
Now Liu He is imprisoned in the Xie family's territory. The Xie family wants to kill her. Wei Qingyan can stop her once, but it is impossible for him to stop her all the time.
She wasn't going to stop it.
On the contrary, what she cares more about now is Liu He's obsession before his death.
After tonight's discovery in the cold palace, Wei Qingyan couldn't help but worry that Liu He's resentment would disappear, but she was also worried about leaving Lan Shu alone to deal with the emperor.
After Liu He's death, he used a blood talisman to direct her resentment to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion.
Although this requires some effort, it is not a difficult task. However, no one expected that something unexpected would happen.
Wei Qingyan spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground. The emperor, who was standing opposite Lan Shu outside the courtyard, fell down before he could say a word to Lan Shu.
