Wei Qingyan stood at the door of the darkroom, hearing the Queen Mother's words clearly and clenching his fists.
This time she went to Yongzhou with Shi Yu, and she realized that Shi Yu's power now was greater than she imagined.
He had his medicine stores and medical clinics all over the Wei Dynasty, and he had many capable people. Some of them were snagged by him, and some of them took the initiative to defect to him after receiving his favor.
Although the 100,000 troops given by the late emperor were taken away by the emperor, in order to protect himself, he privately trained an army of 50,000 troops.
With these and Shi Yu's mind, it was not difficult to escape from the control of the emperor and the queen mother and return to the fiefdom. However, the main reason why he stayed in the capital was because of her.
He is waiting for her to come back in the capital and will be her solid backing.
But now, her backing was being threatened by the Queen Mother, and Wei Qingyan felt that the two blows she had just given were really underestimated.
Shi Yu seemed to not want her to worry, and said, "It's not safe in the house. Mother, please return to the palace in time. If you want to take your son's life, mother must stay alive first."
"The Ai family will definitely live a long life." The Queen Mother turned around with angrily, flicking the handkerchief in her hand, "The Ai family advises you to be calm and don't cause trouble again. Otherwise, don't blame the Ai family for not caring about mother and son. Affection."
A trace of ridicule escaped from the corners of Shi Yu's lips.
Since he returned to Beijing from Beiling three years ago, the Queen Mother has never given him a good look, and she has never cared about the relationship between mother and son.
At first, he was hopeful, even if the queen mother knew that he was not her child, even if the queen mother was disappointed because of his thoughts towards Xiao Yan.
He still hoped to continue to be her child. For this reason, he knelt in Cining Palace for two days and two nights, but what he got in return was the bone-splitting poison that was administered to him after he fainted from kneeling.
When he was excruciatingly painful, he realized that his mother no longer wanted his son.
The Queen Mother didn't hear Shi Yu's reply, so she turned her head and saw the man closing his eyes, looking like he was chasing him away. She became angry again, and finally told the nanny beside her with a stern face, "Go back to the palace."
The news of the assassin sneaking into Prince Rong's palace reached the palace when Jingzhe reported to the officials.
The emperor hurriedly sent someone out of the palace to pick up the queen mother. The prince also got the news and took the errand in person. He came with his people and met the queen mother and her entourage at the gate of Prince Rong's mansion.
When the prince saw the queen mother, he hurriedly asked, "Is the royal grandmother okay?"
The Queen Mother was so angry at Shi Yu that she didn't want to say more, so she just nodded.
Seeing her unhappy expression, the prince frowned and said, "How did Uncle Rong manage the house? He couldn't even protect the safety of the Imperial Grandmother, or did he not have the Imperial Grandmother in his heart at all..."
"Your uncle is ill this time. Did the prince come to visit?" The Queen Mother's cold voice interrupted the prince.
The prince choked.
Before he could speak, the Queen Mother said again, "Since you are here to pick up the Ai family, you should quickly return to the palace. The Ai family is exhausted."
"Yes, my grandson will help you." The prince lowered his head and helped the queen mother to the carriage, with a hint of anger and worry in his eyes.
He always felt that the Queen's grandmother was not as indifferent to King Rong as she appeared. The Queen's grandmother was clearly protecting King Rong just now.
The Queen Mother is no longer here. If the Queen Mother’s heart is also biased towards Prince Rong, then the Xie family...
There was a hint of sternness in the prince's eyes. He had watched King Rong being favored in various ways since he was a child. He was obviously four years younger than him and the eldest grandson of the emperor, but the late emperor would often hold the eight or nine-year-old King Rong on his knees. , but never hugged him.
Obviously he studied hard every day and King Rong was fooling around all day long, but it was still King Rong who the late emperor praised the most.
The imperial grandmother kept saying that she preferred her eldest grandson, but she protected her youngest son at all times.
He had been dreaming that the person who was overwhelming him would fall off the altar. Finally, when that day came, he still couldn't do anything to him.
Maybe tonight is a good opportunity.
The words of the prince and the queen mother at the gate of the mansion were quickly reported back to Shi Yu in a precise manner by the secret guard.
Wei Qingyan was angry at the Queen Mother's attitude towards Shi Yu just now, but she had led the army for many years and was used to putting aside her prejudices and thinking about problems objectively.
After hearing what the secret guard said, she said suspiciously, "Shi Yu, I think the Queen Mother's attitude towards you is a little strange."
The Queen Mother was so high and mighty that she had never been slapped in her entire life, but she was not in a hurry to let the guards kill her to avenge her, but she was thinking about Shi Yu.
If there was such an anomaly, it was because she noticed a mistake.
But just at the door of the mansion, the prince wanted Shi Yu to be labeled as incompetent and unfilial. The queen mother retorted and gave the prince a disrespectful name.
This is obviously to protect Shi Yu.
After Shi Yu no longer had any expectations for the Queen Mother, he didn't have much contact with the Queen Mother. Every time he met, he was either scolded, poisoned or whipped. He no longer had the intention to think too much about the Queen Mother.
Wei Qingyan brought it up today. He thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed a problem as Wei Qingyan said.
But he would not forget the Queen Mother's bad treatment to him in the past three years just because of these two anomalies today.
"I ordered people to pay attention to Cining Palace."
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. He is worried about what the Queen Mother will do. Now, he is not alone.
Wei Qingyan knew that Shi Yu never wanted to pay too much attention to people he didn't care about. The Queen Mother had already ruined their mother-son relationship for many years.
The topic ended in time and returned to the prince, "He came here tonight and failed to pick him. I'm afraid he won't let it go."
Don't let the prince ruin their plan for tonight.
When mentioning the prince, Shi Yu had a stern look on his face, "Probably he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to enter the mansion and assassinate him. If he failed, he would blame the previous assassin on him, making people think that the assassin killed him with a carbine."
Over the years, the prince had sent people to assassinate him frequently, and each time they used shady tactics.
"He has always liked to compare with you since he was a child. How about we help him out tonight and give him some credit?" Wei Qingyan smiled a little evilly.
Seeing her like this, Shi Yu knew instantly what she was going to do.
Half an hour later, Dong Zang tugged on Doctor Jingyang's sleeve and said, "Doctor Jing, please be sure to revive my prince.
Jingzhe chased the assassin tonight and accidentally entered a village outside the city and discovered a shocking case. If my prince can enter the palace in time and report this matter to the emperor, it will be a great achievement.
I can't say that the emperor and the court officials will treat my prince differently because of his contribution. Hurry up, the people from Dali Temple are already chasing me. If it's too late, I'm afraid someone will get there first and take away this contribution..."
Following the order of the prince, several soldiers who wanted to assassinate King Rong took advantage of the chaos. When they looked at each other, one of them quietly exited Prince Rong's mansion and ran towards the palace.
Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu in the dark looked at each other, smiled, and walked out of the city using Qinggong.
Outside the city, Princess Yu and Zhuangzi of the Liu Mansion were controlled by officials.
The lights are as bright as day.
After Lan Shu led Jingzhe and others to Zhuangzi, Wang Zhi and Xiao Zhian appeared and took Jingzhe and others into the underground where they were imprisoned.
Rescued all the dozen or so people imprisoned inside.
Without the confusion of the formation, the secret guards quickly discovered that Princess Yu's Zhuangzi and the Zhuangzi of the Liu Mansion next door were connected underground.
Jingzhe and the others controlled the people in Princess Yu's Zhuangzi. When the people in Liufu's Zhuangzi wanted to retreat in time, there were secret guards blocking the entrance and exit.
They couldn't escape, not even return to Beijing to report.
When Princess Yu and Liu Huan, the head of the Liu family, were captured by officials, they learned that what had happened in Zhuangzi had been exposed.
The person who noticed the difference between them and Zhuangzi was the prince of the dynasty.
The Queen Mother stayed overnight in Prince Rong's Mansion and was assassinated. The Prince was filial and ordered people to track down the assassin, and then he discovered the situation in Zhuangzi.
When the prince was proud of his great achievements, in a room dimly lit by candlelight, a hooded man squeezed out a cold word from between his teeth, "The prince dares to ruin my great things, I will eat his flesh. Eat its blood..."
