Wei Qingyan did not go directly to Yu Mansion.
She went to Gong's house.
After Yu Zhengde went to court, Gong Mingcheng invited him to Gong Jin's house on the pretext of helping to hire a teacher for Gong Jin.
Seeing Wei Qingyan, Yu Zhengde said directly, "Your Majesty already knows that Concubine Li is alive. He wants us to find the eldest prince and princess, otherwise, my daughter will be killed."
When the news of the queen's death came, he was so shocked that his legs became weak.
He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he can understand things that ordinary people cannot understand. Although the emperor sent the queen to the cold palace for murdering the emperor's heirs.
But the queen's death was a disguised version of the Huangshaling incident, giving the people an explanation. Liu He was dead, the queen was dead, and the public's anger gradually subsided.
If it weren't for Wei Qingyan's advice, he would be the real culprit behind Huangshaling.
He was easily plotted by the Queen and the Xie family, and was considered useless in the eyes of the emperor. The emperor would not protect such an incompetent person just to fight against the Xie family.
So it was him who was rumored to have died at this moment.
Therefore, even if he could only be loyal to the emperor now, he had no intention of hiding anything from Wei Qingyan.
"The emperor actually knows?"
This was beyond Wei Qingyan's expectation. The emperor allowed his woman to fake her death and leave. He also tolerated her having a child with another man and kept it secret for many years.
Yu Zhengde frowned, "Li Shuyi is running around. She used to write to me every once in a while to tell me that she is safe. I really don't know where she is now."
Li Shuyi is the maiden name of Concubine Li.
Yu Zhengde had been in a state of panic these past few days, fearing that the emperor would ask him to question him, or that the emperor would not be able to wait any longer and would operate on his daughter.
He was even more afraid of what would happen if Li Shuyi returned to Beijing.
His words once again surprised Wei Qingyan, "What is she doing outside? Why did she leave Beijing in the first place?"
Li Shuyi was a boudoir girl who came from an official family. She had no support from her natal family and no time to rely on her. It was very difficult for her to walk outside, but she went out.
"They say they are merchants, but I don't know what they do specifically."
Yu Zhengde gritted his teeth and said, "Two years after she gave birth to her daughter, she said she was unwilling to waste time in my Yu family's backyard and wanted to go out and have a look.
I just thought she wanted to go out to relax and see the scenery, so I agreed. Who would have thought that she would never come back. Except for occasional letters, she never came home again. "
The word "home" made Wei Qingyan understand Yu Zhengde's feelings for Li Shuyi.
He didn't regard her as an ordinary concubine.
No wonder he loves Li Shuyi's daughter so much.
"You haven't seen each other since?" Wei Qingyan was suspicious.
Yu Zhengde said, "I met her twice. One time she came to me when I went to Jiangnan for business.
Once, when my daughter was ten years old, she wrote a letter saying that she missed her daughter and asked me to take her daughter to Jiangnan and secretly meet her child. "
"Master Yu has never thought about why she didn't come back to Beijing?"
"I have thought about it." Yu Zhengde looked complicated, "I also asked, but she only said that the capital was like a bird cage and she couldn't breathe, so it was better to be comfortable outside.
I knew she was lying. We had feelings for each other before entering the East Palace. During those years in the mansion after leaving the East Palace, I could see that she was happy.
He suddenly wanted to leave, probably because he was worried that he had faked his own death and would be found out, which would harm the Yu family. "
If he was just escaping to fake his own death, why did he stay in Yu Mansion for several years before?
Wei Qingyan intuitively felt that the matter was not that simple, "To be honest with you, Lord Yu, the emperor and I have the same purpose. I came today to let Li Shuyi return to the capital."
Before Yu Zhengde could speak, she added, "Li Shuyi writes regularly, but doesn't give you a reply address. This shows that she has been paying attention to the situation in the mansion, so there is no need for you to write to inform her.
How could a person who cared about her children and home not want to go home because of freedom? There must be a reason why she couldn't go back.
But hiding like this is not the best way. Master Yu can't bear to think that she will be left alone in the future when she is old.
Moreover, she was involved in that incident back then. She was not the king of the world. If the emperor really wanted to find her, she would not be able to escape. Lord Yu, it is better to call him back earlier. "
"I don't know where she is." Yu Zhengde said calmly.
Wei Qingyan smiled lightly and said, "The third young lady is seriously ill. Master Yu, please look for a doctor for her. Li Shuyi cares about his daughter and will definitely contact you."
How could Yu Zhengde not think of such a method? He just didn't want to embarrass Li Shuyi, let alone let her return to Beijing.
But now that the matter has come to this, Li Shuyi has no choice but to return.
Wei Qingyan saw through his mind, and Yu Zhengde said in frustration, "Okay."
Immediately, he asked, "Miss Chang, when will my uncle's grievances be resolved? Is my daughter really okay?"
"Letting her come back is also part of resolving the grievances. Once the grievances are resolved, the third lady's health will automatically get better. Even if Li Shuyi hides away, some things will eventually become hidden dangers for the Yu family. Why not eradicate them completely?"
Wei Qingyan saw that Yu Zhengde was not a bad person, but he did not have much conscience. He only cared about the people he wanted to care about. If Li Shuyi was asked to come back for Lan Shu's child, he would definitely not cooperate.
Only when it involves the Yu family will he be willing.
But Wei Qingyan didn't lie to her either. Li Shuyi's hiding was not an option after all.
She raised her eyes and looked at Yu Zhengde seriously, "Master Yu, please remember that when something happens, a solution to her problem will also appear. It depends on how you do it."
The wound will get worse the more you cover it. Only by facing it squarely and treating it promptly can you truly heal. The same goes for solving problems.
Yu Zhengde thought about Liu He's threat to him. If he did not resolve it immediately and head-on, the consequences would be disastrous.
He finally made up his mind and said, "I will order a large number of doctors."
He and Li Shuyi had been married and had children, and their relationship was constantly separated. If something happened to her, he, Yu Zhengde, would also be involved.
And now he is the only one behind her, so they should face it together.
As he thought this way, he straightened his back and took bigger steps.
"Sister Chang." As soon as Yu Zhengde left, Gong Jin and Dong Gua's heads poked in from the door.
Wei Shiran, who appeared next, tapped her son on the head with her finger, "Mother has become sworn sworn sworn wife with Miss Chang. From now on, she will be called aunt."
"How come I didn't know when we became sworn brothers?" Gong Jin wailed as if he were playing tricks, "Mother, how can you get ahead of me? I still want to make sworn vows with Sister Chang."
Wei Qingyan was amused by his behavior.
She didn't know when they became sworn friends. It was probably the eldest sister's unilateral decision.
Wei Shiran ignored her younger son and said to Wei Qingyan, "I heard that you have an aunt by your side who takes good care of you. Whenever you are free, bring her to the house for a simple meal. Sister, thank her properly."
Wei Qingyan responded and looked at Gong Jin, "Have you found the martial arts master?"
"I found two. This boy is not satisfied. He is not as good as his former master."
Wei Shiran sighed, "I think it's a bit unsatisfactory, but my former master was my father's most effective secret guard. Such a person is rare to find."
"Let me teach him." Wei Qingyan said with a smile.
Wei Shiran was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Wei Qingyan would take the initiative to take over this matter.
Qing Yan's martial arts were taught by his father. If Gong Jin could learn from Qing Yan, it would be the best and it could be regarded as an inheritance of his father's martial arts.
Gong Jin had a sharp ear and reacted faster. He immediately knelt down and said, "Disciple, pay homage to master."
Wei Qingyan laughed, "You have never seen what I am capable of. If you worship me like this, you are not afraid that I will miss you."
Gong Jin looked around, motioned to Dong Gua to guard the door, and said mysteriously, "I was dreaming about my aunt."
He bit the word aunt a little harder.
