The emperor nodded solemnly. "The grandson of the Shu family... the Du family said that the man in the painting often went to play with him, and the Du family girl asked him to call him uncle."
The queen had a good memory. Every year during the Qingming Festival and the New Year, she would go to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices, so she remembered the appearances of all the male members of Prince Ping's mansion. None of them looked very much like Prince Ping when he was young.
The reason why she knew that this was a portrait of King Ping when he was young was because she had seen a portrait of King Ping when he was young when she was sorting out the relics of the previous emperor.
An absurd guess formed in the Queen's mind: "Your Majesty, I remember that Prince Ping is already eighty-eight years old. He is the oldest person in the history of our Meng family!"
Speaking of which, although there are not many people living to be seventy or eighty years old, they are not rare either.
However, since the Meng royal family conquered the world, no one has lived past the age of seventy.
Therefore, Prince Ping was respected in the Meng royal family not only because of his seniority, but also because the Meng family regarded him as a mascot.
King Ping had experienced five generations of emperors, from his grandfather, father, brother, nephew, to the emperor, the great-nephew.
Without waiting for the emperor's nod, the empress continued, "Is Prince Ping's longevity due to the luck he took from others? Are Concubine De's children and the Du family girl's children both his?"
The emperor said, "I also guessed so."
"We're just waiting for Tao Zhi to pry open the Du family girl's mouth."
When Wei Fu and Tao Zhi arrived, the girl from the Du family had already woken up. However, after she woke up, she kept shouting for them to let her go, otherwise these people would die miserably. Then, her mouth was blocked again. When she saw Tao Zhi and Wei Fu coming, she looked at them angrily. In a short period of time, she fainted and woke up again, and her attitude completely reversed.
Seeing that a person's eyes could be opened so wide, Wei Fu was amazed and pulled Tao Zhi aside, praising him, "Junior Brother Taozi, for the first time, I clearly understand... what the phrase 'eyes as big as copper bells' means."
"It turns out there are people who can open their eyes so wide. They're so ugly..."
When the Du family girl heard what Wei Fu said, she was so angry that a mouthful of blood got stuck in her throat.
Tao Zhi: "...Junior Sister, you seem to be focusing on something wrong."
Wei Fu scratched his face: "Then where should we focus on?"
"What you should be focusing on is that she hates us."
"But doesn't she convey hatred with her eyes?"
Tao Zhi: “…” I was speechless.
"Senior sister is wise, I was wrong."
Wei Fu gave him a worried look, then turned to the people beside him and said, "Use an iron chain to tie him up tightly to the pillar."
The Du girl didn't understand what Wei Fu was going to do to her and struggled to speak.
But no one would give her a chance to speak. The people who were guarding this place before were fed up with her scolding, so when Wei Fu gave the order, they quickly tied the man to the pillar with iron chains according to Wei Fu's request.
Wei Furen didn't say much. He took out his small peach wood sword from his small pocket, and then started poking the girl from the Du family with the peach wood sword.
Every time she was poked, the Du family girl would convulse in pain.
After Wei Fu poked a few times, a formation appeared behind the Du family girl.
Everyone can see this formation and find it magical.
Wei Fu took back her small peach wood sword, made hand gestures, and muttered something. She muttered very quickly and no one could hear clearly what she was saying.
As soon as she started to recite, the people in the room saw the girl from the Du family struggling violently with sobs and groans. They couldn't hear her cry out in pain, but they could feel the immense pain from her appearance.
Everyone knows that she is not a good person, that she is vicious, and that she deserves it, but everyone still feels that she is miserable.
By the time the formation was finally lifted, the Du family girl was in so much pain that she had bitten the handkerchief in her mouth to pieces, but even in such pain, she did not faint.
It’s not that I don’t want to feel dizzy, it’s that I can’t feel dizzy.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Tao Zhi didn't want Wei Fu to starve, so he didn't even give the Du family girl a break before he started interrogating her: "The formation has been lifted for you now. You'd better confess immediately. As you've seen, my senior sister is very powerful. If you don't confess obediently, we have plenty of ways to make you confess."
Wei Fu felt that the junior brother was unreliable. She was the pillar of his family and must support his career, so she nodded seriously: "Yes, Fu'er is very capable."
The Du family girl sneered disdainfully: "Just a child!"
Wei Fu looked at the Du family girl like she was a fool: "Do you think your lover is going to come and save you?"
"But weren't there other people chasing you when you were escaping? Didn't Uncle Zhang save you? Otherwise, you would be dead by now!"
"You are so stupid. You chose a lover with an ordinary face instead of Xiao Shu. Even if you want to find a lover, you should find someone who is more beautiful than Xiao Shu!"
"That's all fine, but they want your life, and you still treat them like treasures."
"Are you a dung beetle?"
"Just love shit!"
"Pfft..." Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A delicate and well-behaved little girl teaches people in a soft voice. Her words are so special and her descriptions are so apt that it makes people melt in love with her.
Wei Fu turned his head and looked at the person who laughed out loud with a serious face: "Little brother, it is inappropriate for you to laugh in such a serious occasion~~~"
"Although we should all laugh at such a bad woman, we are on duty now, so we should remain serious. You can laugh at her when your shift is over. Or if you really want to laugh, you can laugh secretly."
Officer: Ahhhh... Little princess, I'm not making fun of the bad woman, I'm making fun of you!
Oh, no, I'm not making fun of you, I'm just touched by your cuteness!
But seeing the young princess's dedication and earnest instructions, he put away his smile and said seriously: "I know I made a mistake and will not make it again. Thank you for your guidance, young princess."
Wei Fu showed an expression of teachable child, blinked his eyes and looked at the girl from the Du family again, waiting for her reply.
The Du family girl asked, "If I tell you everything, can you guarantee my safety and my life?"
Tao Zhi was about to say, "What the hell are you thinking?" but Wei Fu raised his hand to stop him and nodded, "Of course, Fu'er can guarantee that Junior Brother Taozi is my Junior Brother, and he has to listen to Fu'er."
Tao Zhi looked at Wei Fu anxiously. According to the law, this woman must be executed, so how could he make such a promise?
Even though the Emperor loves her, Senior Sister is so scared...
But when he saw Wei Fu turn his head and blink at him frantically, he knew that his senior sister was lying, so he could only say with a frustrated look: "Yes, I will listen to you."
