"The general is back to investigate what happened back then and avenge his brothers, right?"
Du Xueyi's words brought Wei Qingyan back from her thoughts, and she nodded slightly.
"What should I do, subordinate?" Du Xueyi raised his clothes and saluted as a military general, "Please give me your instructions, general. I will be ashamed of myself."
Wei Qingyan's eyes were cold, "Keep your title as Marquis Anyuan and seize every possible opportunity to move up. That's what your Du family deserves."
She had heard from her father many times his admiration for Du Changyuan. The late emperor valued Du Changyuan and did not hesitate to use the Guan family to win over him. This shows that his ability was by no means ordinary.
He fought for many years and won many great victories.
How could it be such a coincidence that he died in the last battle before the founding of the country?
Guan had been the late emperor's woman. Did the late emperor really not mind that the man next to him missed his woman?
If she had not been suspicious before, but after seeing Guan's obsession, she had to doubt Du Changyuan's death.
If her guess was true, then the late emperor would not only be responsible for the Guan family, but also Du Changyuan.
"General, you want me to join the Ministry of War?" Du Xueyi asked, expressing his doubts.
The general was not reckless. He knew clearly that something was wrong with Wu Yuchu and killed him without letting him find out the truth. He must have had other purposes besides revenge.
Wei Qingyan smiled.
She has made progress. Du Xueyi, who used to rely on her for everything, can now use his own brain.
"The Minister of the Ministry of War is dead, and the two ministers of the Ministry of War will definitely fight to death. No matter who the minister of the Ministry of War ends up with, Xueyi, you should learn from the fisherman and take the position of the minister."
Once you become a minister, you can become a minister, or something else.
Wei Qingyan died in the battle, and the remaining 80,000 national defense troops were divided into three, of which 30,000 were to follow Du Xueyi to guard the Wudan border.
The old marquis died of illness half a year ago. The emperor sent people to the border to take over the military power from Du Xueyi and ordered him to return to Beijing to inherit the title.
Now in the past six months, although he has inherited the title of Marquis Anyuan, he has never arranged any errands for him.
Du Xueyi felt so blessed that he hurriedly said, "In two days' early morning service, I will ask Your Majesty to return to the Wudan border."
The emperor finally found an excuse and took away the 30,000 national defense troops in his hand. He did not want him to return to the Wudan border, so he had to arrange a place for him in the capital.
Regardless of his grandfather Du Yuan's meritorious service back then, or his contribution to the National Guard Army, the emperor could not give him a position that was too low.
If there happened to be a vacancy in the Ministry of War, it would be much easier for him to get in.
The position of the Minister of War is neither high nor low, which is exactly what the emperor wants.
He is indeed a general.
Du Xueyi sighed in his heart.
"The truth about Huangshaling must be told to other brothers. There is strength in numbers. Maybe it will be easier for everyone to investigate together."
"No need for the moment." Wei Qingyan shook his head.
People's hearts are complicated. She has not been a general for three years. It is unclear whether her subordinates are still loyal.
What's more, what is the truth and who is involved? Too many people know it, but they can only alert the snake.
Du Xueyi was also excited for a moment and realized that something was wrong when he said it.
The two of them talked until dawn.
People from the Guan family came to the door.
Although Guan Yu'er was severely beaten by Wei Qingyan, she harmed the concubine of the Anyuan Hou Mansion first, and before Guan's death, she blew herself up to murder Fang.
Du Xueyi preemptively questioned whether Fang's death was a conspiracy between the Guan family and the Guan family, pretending to report it to the officials for a thorough investigation.
Although the Guan family did not participate in the murder of Fang, they were more or less aware of many of Guan's plans and were even involved in them, so they could not withstand any in-depth investigation.
Feeling guilty, he did not dare to cause any trouble to the Du Mansion, so he took Guan Yu'er and left on the same day.
Guan's funeral was very simple. They chose a place outside the city for the first day and were not buried in the Du family's ancestral grave.
In this way, everyone will know that Guan's crazy words before his death are true.
No one blamed Du Xueyi for being unfilial and killing his wife and abusing his daughter. It was a mercy not to crush her to ashes.
But Wei Qingyan knew that Du Xueyi would not allow Du to be buried properly. Sure enough, that night, he heard A Lu say that Guan Yu'er was dead.
Du Xueyi wouldn't even let go of Guan Yu'er, so how could he let go of the Guan family who ruined his family.
Wei Qingyan put on a set of black clothes and said, "Alu, go find your Marquis with a smile. I'll go out."
A Lu glanced at the dark sky outside, then looked at Wei Qingyan, who was dressed in black, and walked away silently with a smile on his arms.
He discovered that his young lady was different from other women in that she liked to go out at night.
Wei Qingyan spent the past two nights wandering around several streets where powerful people gathered.
In a place as rich and charming as the Imperial City, countless people die every day, which naturally creates a lot of resentment.
It's just that to be able to form a ghost resentment like Fang's does, it requires deep obsession or resentment, and it also has to happen by chance.
Ordinary resentments will fade over time and eventually disappear.
The images that cannot be let go in the depths of consciousness before death will gradually blur and eventually turn into nothingness.
Wei Qingyan wanted to explore the memory of resentment before the picture blurred.
Some things are much easier to check on dead people than on living people.
After all, she was unfamiliar with this imperial city, and she always wanted to know more about it.
When the sky turned white, Wei Qingyan headed for the city gate.
According to usual practice, today is the day when Shi Yu goes to worship at the grave of the general who protects the country.
It’s time for her to go see Abu too.
When Shi Yu arrived, Wei Qingyan was meditating in front of the grave.
"Why is Miss Chang here?"
Wei Qingyan saluted, "I have something going on at home, so I came to see my old friend."
Shi Yu naturally knew about the old lady of the Anyuan Hou Mansion, but it was unexpected that she would come here to pay her respects.
Shi Yu took the food box from Dong Zang's hand and placed the snacks he brought in front of the tomb. When he saw the snacks placed in front of the tomb, his hand paused slightly.
Those snacks were very fresh, obviously brought by Wei Qingyan.
It was exactly the same as what he had prepared.
What he brought was Wei Qingyan’s favorite food.
And Wei Qingyan was obviously taken care of by the one lying on the ground.
"Miss Chang is familiar with him?"
He was also surprised when he found the corpse of a man who looked similar to Wei Qingyan. Judging from the clothes the man was wearing, he guessed that he was Wei Qingyan's secret guard.
There were several secret guards wearing masks beside Wei Qingyan.
But he didn't know that this person had a similar appearance to Wei Qingyan. Only after seeing this male corpse did he understand why he had never suspected that Wei Qingyan was a girl.
Because it was this stand-in who was bathing in the hot spring with him, how could he suspect that a real man was a woman.
Wei Qingyan's eyes fell on the pastries brought by Shi Yu, and he nodded, "Yes."
We have been together for many years, even the taste is similar, how could we not be familiar with them?
"On the contrary, Your Majesty, I heard that I broke off all contact with General Wei back then, why did you do so much for her again?"
Shi Yu felt a little bitter in his heart, lit the incense paper, and said quietly, "It will never be cut off."
He was just afraid that he couldn't control his feelings and would hurt her, so he chose to stay away.
Now that he knew the truth, Wei Qingyan understood his original choice, but he was a little embarrassed.
She never thought that Shi Yu would have such thoughts towards her.
However, once you clear up the clues, there are actually traces to follow.
She complained that the food in the military camp was not delicious, so he opened a restaurant. Yuyan was named after him and her.
A woman expressed her admiration for her, and the one who reacted the most strongly was Shi Yu. Within two days, he asked the Queen Mother to marry the woman to someone else, saying that the woman was not worthy of the general who protects the country.
Zhizi Moruomu, the Queen Mother may have sensed his thoughts and hinted many times that Shi Yu and she should get married. Shi Yu was always in a low mood, but she was the only one who didn't know why...
Realizing that his thoughts were far away, Wei Qingyan hurriedly collected his thoughts and asked about the business, "How could the prince think of taking the general's body to attack Beiling?
After hearing that Mrs. Wei lost her son, she fell ill with grief. She hoped that her son would be buried as soon as possible. After the prince returned to Beijing, he was often embarrassed by Mrs. Wei, right? "
