King Jing was beaten so badly that he woke up in a daze on the next morning.
When she woke up, she heard the guard report that Wei Wanyi was taking her two children to send Mrs. Wei back to Beijing, so she hurriedly got up.
"My lord, be careful..." Before the guard could say anything to stop him, he saw someone rushing forward.
The guard rushed forward to help the man.
Only then did King Jing realize that his legs were broken, and his painful skull nearly cracked from standing so suddenly.
He took a deep breath and said angrily, "Has the assassin been caught?"
The guard lowered his head in shame, "Not yet."
Apart from knowing that the servant's room had been disturbed, there were no other clues.
King Jing's eyes suddenly became sinister, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to investigate and see if any suspicious people have come to Yongzhou recently, and then invite the princess over."
What happened last night was so strange, it seemed like it was specifically targeted at him, but it didn't mean to kill him.
The guard helped the person back to the bed and hurriedly left to find Wei Wanyi.
When Wei Wanyi was walking towards the palace gate with a child in hand, she was stopped by King Jing's guards. She handed the two children to the two maids beside her and ordered, "Protect the prince and the young lady."
The two maids were given to her by her father and were very skilled. When she got married, they followed her to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Previously, under the influence of her mother, she despised women who knew martial arts as being vulgar and never put them to good use.
After discovering the relationship between her mother and King Jing two years ago, she no longer dared to trust her mother, so she started to use her father's people.
"Don't worry, Princess." The two whispered back.
Wei Wanyi knelt down and touched the heads of the two children, "Good boy, go to the carriage and wait for the concubine first. The concubine will be here soon."
The older one nodded knowingly, while the younger one, who didn't know much about the world, also nodded along with his elder brother.
Wei Wanyi walked to Mrs. Wei and said, "Mother, please accompany your daughter to say goodbye to the prince."
After that, without waiting for Mrs. Wei to refuse, she directly took her arm and walked forward.
A hint of bitterness escaped Mrs. Wei's lips.
Last night, after her nightmare, she was worried about Wanyi and went to her main courtyard to see her, but Wanyi wouldn't even let her in.
She forced her way into the house and told her dream, but Wanyi only smiled coldly, "My mother really loves her daughter, and in her dreams she hopes that her daughter will die...so that she can make room for her mother, right?"
But if there is really no daughter, will the prince risk being ridiculed by the world and marry his mother? "
In the past, Wanyi was gentle and obedient and never said such harsh words.
Today, Wanyi's mouth is like a dagger, piercing her heart with every word.
Not wanting to be laughed at by the servants outside, she simply said nothing and let Wei Wanyi drag her to King Jing's yard.
"Princess, why do you want to return to the capital suddenly?" When King Jing saw Wei Wanyi, he asked calmly as if nothing had happened.
Wei Wanyi pinched the palm of her hand with her fingernails and tried her best to suppress it, so she couldn't resist stepping forward and tearing off this hypocritical face.
Before they got married, he would blush whenever he spoke to her. When did he start to lie with such a straight face?
Stepping back from Mrs. Wei, she said, "My mother is sad about my brother and wants to go back to Beijing to seek the truth.
I was worried about my mother, so I wanted to give her a gift. The two children might not have been back to the capital for a long time, so I took them with me to pay homage to my father and brother. "
"I will send a letter to the Emperor Brother about the matter of the general protecting the country, asking him to investigate thoroughly. Yongzhou is not close to the capital. Neither my mother-in-law nor my children can bear to travel long distances. What's more, you are still sick..."
"Mom, look, my daughter said that the prince would not agree."
Wei Wanyi did not look at King Jing, but said to Mrs. Wei like a spoiled child, "As the saying goes, a son-in-law is like a son-in-law.
Although the prince is a noble man, he can still be regarded as half of his mother's son. He will definitely listen to his mother's words. The mother should help her daughter to persuade the prince.
Besides, since my mother has not returned to Beijing to pay homage to her father and brother for three years since she came to Yongzhou, the National Guard Army and the people in the world are afraid that they will gossip about her. "
These words made Mrs. Wei's face suddenly turn ugly.
The first words were a humiliation, and the last words were a warning. If she couldn't convince King Jing to let them go back today, she would definitely tell the world about her and King Jing.
When the time comes, she will be disgraced, and the National Protectorate, who are loyal to the Wei family and his son, will not let her go lightly.
Wanyi has people from the Wei family and her son around her. If she is determined to do this, King Jing may not be able to stop her.
Mrs. Wei's eyes were full of disappointment. After more than twenty years of hard work and teaching, Wanyi finally became very much like the Wei family.
Acting vulgarly without caring about face.
King Jing could hardly maintain his calm expression.
Wei Wanyi knew that they had an unusual relationship, but she said that they were like mother and son, sincerely embarrassing him.
He coughed lightly, "It is necessary to pay homage to father and brother, but an assassin came to the house last night, and we still don't know who he is.
The king is really worried about you leaving the house rashly, so I will ask your majesty to send you back in person when I get better. "
Wei Wanyi's attitude towards Mrs. Wei last night made him understand that she knew about their affairs.
But Wei Wanyi's reaction was unexpected.
In his impression, Wei Wanyi would only hide and cry, even if she knew about it, and then hide her thoughts in her heart.
No matter how bold she was, she would just make a fuss with him in private. She had too much face to make a big fuss, let alone like now, where she dared to send someone away quietly and take away two children.
This made him feel a little uneasy. He was not afraid of the current General Protector's Mansion, but he didn't want to cause any trouble.
Wei Wanyi took a look, her face was so swollen that she couldn't see the man's true appearance, but she still pretended to be affectionate.
She suddenly felt nauseous.
No longer willing to compromise with Wang Jing, she said to Mrs. Wei, "My daughter is going to ask the doctor about the prince's condition. Mother should talk to the prince.
The daughter stopped coming over and went directly to the door of the house to wait for her mother. The mother should not keep her daughter waiting for too long. "
After that, without looking at Prince Jing again, he turned around and went straight to the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion.
Asking the doctor was just an excuse. She didn't want to stay in this place for a moment longer. As for how her mother would convince King Jing, she didn't want to think deeply.
When I stopped deceiving myself and others, I realized how stupid I was in the past. I actually used their mistakes to punish myself, and my liver qi was stagnated, which dragged my body down.
But she was also worried that Mrs. Wei would not be able to convince King Jing, and she was thinking about how to deal with it if King Jing tried to stop them.
Before he could come up with a countermeasure, he saw Mrs. Wei following her out of the mansion, and King Jing agreed.
Wei Wanyi didn't know whether she should be happy to leave or feel sad. Her husband cared more about her mother.
She bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to recover from her emotions. Now was not the time to think too much, she should leave quickly, lest King Jing regret it.
"Your Majesty, Princess and the others have left the city."
As soon as Wei Wanyi and her party left the city gate, the secret guard reported back to King Jing.
"Pretend to be assassins and force them back." King Jing said in a deep voice, "Kill the few useful servants around her..."
"Then the princess and Mrs. Wei..." The secret guard wanted to ask if they could be hurt too.
King Jing's face was gloomy and he nodded slowly, "Mother-in-law, don't move."
Wei Wanyi dared not to take him as her husband seriously, and if she didn't dampen her spirit, she might cause trouble for him in the future.
The secret guard understood and said, "The news from the capital is that the daughter of the Yan family came to Yongzhou to look for Yan Qing's body. My lord, tell me, could she have done what happened last night?"
I didn't pay attention to this before. It wasn't until something happened in the mansion last night and the prince asked him to check the people who had recently come to Yongzhou that the secret guard remembered this incident.
Yan Lan?
"Her skills are very average. She has been trapped in Linzhou for many years and has no useful people around her.
She couldn't do what she did last night, but there was someone else accompanying her? "King Jing frowned.
The secret guard was secretly shocked. The prince didn't interact with many people, and he never returned to the capital when he came to the fiefdom. How could he even know about the Yan family's daughter?
