"He's not that stupid." Shen Qingwu shook his head. "Chu Tao is old. Even if he sits on that throne, he won't live long. Although he has sons, some of them may be tolerant and hide their shortcomings, but the prince and the emperor are not useless."
"Then what other details could he have?" Shen Qingtang was puzzled. She had not yet sent anyone to investigate Chu Tao, the Chief Minister of the Zong clan.
"I'll find out after some investigation." Shen Qingwu said with a smile, "Chu Tao dotes on Chu Zhiyou so much, but what he did before is very likely to make Chu Zhiyou disappear completely from everyone's sight. This is very interesting, isn't it?"
Shen Qingtang nodded, "If it's true, it's really interesting."
…
Princess Mansion.
Wang Shuying knelt on the ground and said, "I want to take Ah Wei out to sea, under the guise of business, to look for opportunities. I will return to Beijing when he can stand on his own."
The elder sister looked at the person kneeling on the ground with displeasure, "Yingying, I brought you up single-handedly. You should have seen my plan."
As he said this, there was danger in the big man's narrowed eyes.
"It is precisely because I knew that I made such a risky decision." Wang Shuying slowly raised her head, straightened her back and looked at ***.
"So what if I marry into your family? After all, I'm still one of the nine clans. Even if you declare to the world that you will sever ties with Awei, who will believe you?" Wang Shuying looked straight at the eldest son.
"Besides, Awei doesn't want to be with any woman at all. Why do you have to make things difficult for him and ruin the last bit of mother-son relationship?" Wang Shuying spoke bluntly.
In the entire capital, only one person dares to be so bold.
"I have discussed this with him, and he agreed with my suggestion. Xiao Jia Qingyi does love Awei, but how can a daughter who was only spoiled by her brother protect Awei? She herself is just a man's object of favor." Wang Shuying's tone was full of disdain.
The eldest lady looked slightly stunned.
Wang Shuying continued, "The Xiao family is a merchant family after all. They are not as good as the people in Kyoto. Even if they use all their strength, they can't protect Ah Wei."
"Are you afraid that I will implicate you and kill your entire clan?" The elder thought seriously about Wang Shuying's words, but his expression was still unhappy.
Song Siwei is his only son. She wants to cut off ties with him, but she also wants to keep him in Kyoto so she can know his news at all times.
However, it is difficult to have everything in this world.
She couldn't deny that the result given by Wang Shuying was the best arrangement at the moment.
Wang Shuying kowtowed again. "Aunt, you're wrong. Whether you and Awei have severed ties or not, we are the closest of family. Awei and I grew up together, and you know that. I would never harm him. Even if we were to get married, I would definitely take him out to sea in order to survive."
"I've heard that pirates are rampant at sea. If something really happens, there will be no trace of our bodies left." The Queen Mother was still worried.
Wang Shuying crawled on the ground without saying a word. How could it not be dangerous?
Is it safe in Kyoto?
Even if the big boss has never done anything wrong, wouldn't Song Siwei have the slightest accident?
Even if the baby is put back into the mother's womb, there is still a risk of miscarriage.
Let go when it's time to let go.
But she didn't dare say this in front of the boss.
But the big boss understood Wang Shuying's silence. There is never absolute safety in life. If he is detained at home every day and the King of Hell wants to take him away, he can choke to death by eating an egg.
"When do we set off? What do you need me to prepare for you?" The Queen finally compromised and regained her usual calm and composure.
"The pass, for different identities, cannot be issued within half a month at the latest." Wang Shuying was not polite and had planned this matter in advance.
The Queen Mother, always trusting her actions, nodded in satisfaction, "I will announce to the public that you two are traveling. To conceal this, a number of students from aristocratic families will be leaving Kyoto for study tours today."
Wang Shuying kowtowed deeply.
The eldest concubine stood up and lovingly helped Wang Shuying up. "Yingying, I trust you the most. Otherwise, I wouldn't have insisted on your marriage. Now that you two are not interested, I won't force you any more. You know Ah Wei's character best. From now on, I will hand him over to you."
"Don't worry, aunt. As long as I, Wang Shuying, am alive, I will protect Awei." Wang Shuying bowed and made a solemn promise.
…
Zongzhengchengfu.
When seeing Shen Qingwu again, Chu Tao was polite and respectful.
Without saying anything more, he brought the person to the coffin and handed him the peace knot that Shen Qingwu had given him yesterday. "Miss Shen, thank you for your help."
There were two Taoist priests standing in the mourning hall.
Shen Qingwu glanced at the two of them. They seemed to be masters of Qinxin realm. Their cultivation level was comparable to hers, or even higher. But even if they reached Taiqing realm, they would not be able to see her realm.
The supernatural powers he possesses will never be more than hers.
After all, what she possesses now is the magic that the entire clan has cultivated over hundreds of years.
Shen Qingwu quickly withdrew his gaze, bent down with the peace knot and hooked it around Chu Zhiyou's completely stiff fingers.
Even though there was ice surrounding him, his body still gave off a faint stench of decay.
When the two Taoists saw Shen Qingwu taking action, they looked at each other, walked forward without hesitation, and stared at Shen Qingwu's movements.
They couldn't see Shen Qingwu's realm, so they naturally thought that Shen Qingwu was more powerful than them.
Shen Qingwu did not stop him. He mobilized his true energy and condensed it on his hand, and blood soaked the gauze.
The energy in Chu Zhiyou's body was much weaker than yesterday, but it still surged when it smelled Shen Qingwu's blood.
The two Taoists were not able to see this energy at all, so they only saw Shen Qingwu lowering his head and slowly untying the peace knot. The gauze on his hand was even stained red because of the reverse flow of qi and blood.
They were somewhat puzzled as to why Shen Qingwu, despite being so advanced in Taoism, didn't make his wounds heal faster.
Shen Qingwu concentrated her mind, and the breath finally rushed out of Chu Zhiyou's body as the peace knot was untied, and followed the smell of blood into her palm.
Shen Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and swayed slightly.
Shen Qingtang hurried forward.
The Taoist wanted to ask about his doubts, but seeing Shen Qingwu like this, he didn't dare to step forward.
Shen Qingwu seemed to know their confusion. His face turned pale, and he turned to them and smiled, "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable in life. Following the will of heaven can also be a form of cultivation. Practitioners who can cultivate qi and achieve enlightenment are naturally gifted. If they don't go against heaven, it's not impossible to achieve the golden elixir."
The two men suddenly understood and bowed to Shen Qingwu, saying, "Thank you for your guidance."
"On the path of cultivation, there may be some sorcery that can change your fate, but it is fake and can never be true. In your dreams at midnight, one day, God will give you the answer." Shen Qingwu raised his hand and returned the salute.
"Sir, it's over." Shen Qingwu was supported by Shen Qingtang to say goodbye to Chu Tao.
Chu Tao hurriedly thanked him and then asked, "I heard that Liu Ruyan, the daughter of the Liu family, also attacked you before she died. Can this karma be resolved?"
