Du Xueyi walked out of the darkness, looking first at the direction Shi Yu left, and then at Wei Qingyan's room.
His brows were furrowed.
"What are you doing there? Come in." Wei Qingyan's voice came from inside the house.
People have gone outside.
Du Xueyi sat down opposite her, "Boss, can I find two guards for you?"
The general doesn't like the crowd. There are only a few women sweeping the yard now, and they don't even know anyone is coming.
Wei Qingyan glanced at him and said, "No need, my people will arrive in a few days."
Agu went to deal with the treasure in Magnolia Mountain and will come to Beijing to find her soon.
Hearing that she had someone, Du Xueyi didn't insist and asked hesitantly, "Boss, you and King Rong... do you need to get close to him?"
When I saw the general being carried back by King Rong, my first reaction was that the general was injured. However, seeing King Rong's gentle expression and slow steps, he stabilized his figure and did not show up.
Then he thought of the time when the general asked him to get King Rong drunk, and he came up with this guess.
In his mind, a general is like an iron man. How can he be so weak that he needs others to carry him, unless he has a purpose.
Is that purpose the same as that time to absorb the king's energy?
Wei Qingyan didn't hide it from him on purpose, but he didn't ask, so she didn't tell him on purpose.
He was able to take the initiative to ask today, probably because he was really curious, and he didn't know how many drafts he had made in his mind, so Wei Qingyan informed him about the merit seal.
After hearing this, Du Xueyi blinked, "So if King Rong gets better like this, doesn't your life depend on him?"
Wei Qingyan picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea, took a sip and said softly, "So be it."
Du Xueyi felt a little weird about drinking water in such a gentle manner, but he didn't care about it and was full of anxiety, "Is it true that I can't get it back?"
Wei Qingyan played with the tea cup without saying a word.
He stood up and walked back and forth in the room, "This won't work, boss, you have to think of a way.
King Rong will not be with you all the time. If you lose your life and cannot find him that day, it would be too dangerous..."
After saying that, he paused and said, "But if you take it back, will King Rong become the same half-dead person he used to be?"
Wei Qingyan played with the tea cup.
Will do.
Without the merit seal, Shi Yu will return to his former sickly appearance.
Du Xueyi understood when he saw her like this, and scratched his head anxiously, "Boss, I know that you value love and righteousness, and you will definitely hate to see him change back to that, but it won't work if you don't take it back.
I finally survived, but I can't lose my life again.
Unexpectedly, Prince Rong is not a wine gourd pendant. He has lost his vitality. He took off the cork and took a few sips. He is the prince of the day and may return to the fiefdom in the future. The general cannot follow him to the fiefdom..."
"Pa." He suddenly slapped his forehead and his eyes brightened, "Yes, General, can you marry him?"
"Cough cough cough..." Wei Qingyan was taking a sip of tea, but he choked on his words and coughed repeatedly.
Du Xueyi hurriedly stepped forward to pat her back, and a big slap was about to fall on Wei Qingyan's back. Remembering that the general was now a woman, he hurriedly pulled back some strength.
Continuing to analyze his thoughts, "Boss, you are a woman now, and I, the legitimate daughter of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, can become Princess Rong.
The two of you now share a life. If you really can't get the merit seal back, it will be easier for you to regain your life as husband and wife, but you will have to wrong the general. "
A grown man, not only becomes a woman, but also has to marry a man who has long missed him.
In Du Xueyi's mind, an untimely scene of a general being pinned down by King Rong appeared in his mind. The general in the picture was Wei Qingyan, who used to have a tall silhouette and long eyebrows.
Two men...
He couldn't help but shudder.
Immediately, he became worried again. King Rong likes men. The general is now a woman, so he may not be willing to marry the general.
We still have to think of ways to facilitate this marriage.
Du Xueyi's words made Wei Qingyan's heart suddenly tremble inexplicably, and a strange feeling passed through her heart, making her a little irritable.
He hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. As long as you know about the merit seal, I will think of another way. What you have to do now is to force the emperor to investigate the Huangsha Ridge matter."
When it came to business, Du Xueyi hurriedly cleared away all the thoughts on how to bring the two of them together, and said seriously, "Tomorrow morning, I will contact the ministers who were close to the General Protector's Mansion and submit a joint report together."
Wei Qingyan said in a deep voice, "It doesn't have to be like this, just do what you do."
Everyone in the capital knew that Du Xueyi was a general who protected the country. There was something wrong with the battle at Huangshaling. It was only natural for him to ask for a thorough investigation into the matter out of friendship with his former comrades.
The lack of response makes people suspicious.
As for the rest of the people, it depends on whether they are willing or not. Wei Qingyan can also take the opportunity to see some people and things clearly.
"Okay, listen to the boss." Du Xueyi nodded.
Wei Qingyan sighed, "Xueyi, if you are curious about something or don't understand something, you can ask."
Du Xueyi didn't even think about it, "The general is not wrong, I will just do as he says. I also know that the general will not harm me, and the rest is not important."
This is what he has done since the first day he joined the Protectorate Army. Unconditional obedience is the first rule of the Protectorate Army. Despite these seemingly harsh conditions, the soldiers have no complaints.
Just because whether they are old generals or generals, they will never take care of the lives of their soldiers in vain. They truly love their soldiers like their own children.
Even though the general had been killed in battle for three years, the families of the brothers who had died in the previous battles could still receive an annual pension, which was arranged by the general the year after he took over the National Defense Army.
And after he knew what Guan had done, he was even more grateful that he had met the general, otherwise he might have become the second Anyuan Hou lingering on his sick bed.
Wei Qingyan also knew that the habits of the past ten years could not be changed overnight, so after talking about some things about the Gong family, he let him go back.
The next morning, Wei Qingyan learned about the situation in the morning court.
Shi Yu, who had not been to the court for more than two years, also went to the court early this morning for the same purpose as Du Xueyi.
What surprised Wei Qingyan was that Gong Mingcheng did not take leave today, but joined the Wu family as he promised his eldest sister.
Pointing out that even if Wu Yuchu is dead, his wife and children should be imprisoned as suspects for review.
However, some officials believe that it is difficult to convict the Wu family based solely on Luo Chengzhou's blood letter.
The emperor then appointed the Ministry of Punishment to find out the matter. If the matter was indeed as stated in the blood letter, the Wu family would be arrested and imprisoned.
Such a case should have been handed over to Dali Temple, but the emperor handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment.
Wei Qingyan knew that the emperor was unwilling to investigate further, and the Minister of Punishment was from the Xie family.
The Xie family, the Queen Mother's natal family, they are the emperor's people.
If further investigation is conducted, it will be revealed that the remnant of the previous dynasty Su Fu and Beiling's secret service as the magistrate of Qi County cannot be concealed, but is the emperor really just doing it for the sake of face?
Wei Qingyan's lips curled into a sneer, there were some things that the emperor just didn't have to do if he didn't want to.
She ordered, "Xueyi, secretly contact the families of the brothers who died in the National Defense Army..."
"Master Hou." A Lu hurriedly ran over and interrupted Wei Qingyan, "Mrs. Gong has brought the family members of the national defense army who died in Huangshaling to the Wu family to demand justice."
Du Xueyi looked at Wei Qingyan, opened his mouth, and finally said, "Mrs. Gong seems to be really good to you, but why didn't she notice it before?"
Yesterday she had a headache that hit her head. There was a grudge at home that needed to be dealt with urgently. She could still think about the general.
Wei Qingyan's eyes were half lowered. She also wanted to know why her eldest sister had not shown her kindness in the past.
Therefore, when the Gong brothers showed up at the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, what she asked was, "Mrs. Gong is not well yet, why did she go to the Wu family?"
