The Queen Mother barely slept last night, and she did not sleep for a while until the early morning. When she heard the news from Prince Rong's Mansion, her vision went dark and she fainted.
After the imperial doctor woke him up, she would send someone to see Prince Rong. Thinking about it, she finally came to Prince Rong's mansion in person.
What he saw was Shi Yu sitting at the table.
She looked obviously relieved, and soon became serious again, "Who did you offend? Why did someone come to assassinate you again?
I heard that you were seriously injured and fell into a coma. Since you were injured, why didn't you just lie down in bed? "
Her reactions gave Shi Yu an answer.
Suddenly I didn't want to lie to her.
Dongzang said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. The rumors are wrong. There was indeed an assassin in the house last night. It's just that the prince's coma is an old illness and he was not injured by the assassin."
The Queen Mother looked at Shi Yu and saw that although his face was pale, he did not look seriously injured. She snorted angrily and said, "Go back to the palace."
He didn't care about why the rumor was wrong, it seemed like he just wanted to confirm that Shi Yu was fine.
"My son thought that the mother didn't want my son anymore." Shi Yu's voice sounded from behind her.
The Queen Mother stiffened and her eyes suddenly became wet.
Since she poisoned Shi Yu three years ago, he has never called her "mother" again. She thought she would never hear this word "mother" again in her life.
The Queen Mother calmed down and her voice returned to a cold tone, "The Ai family had you when they were nearly forty years old. You are the child that the Ai family sacrificed their lives to give birth to.
Regardless of whether you want to recognize the Ai family as your queen mother or not, the Ai family is your mother and queen, and you can never think of breaking away from the Ai family. "
After leaving these words and not waiting for Shi Yu to say anything else, the Queen Mother led a group of people back to the palace, while the imperial doctor she brought was left behind for Shi Yu's treatment.
Shi Yu just pretended to be injured, so he dismissed the imperial doctor.
Wei Qingyan came out of the secret door and sat in front of him, "The Queen Mother means she doesn't know your life experience."
Shi Yu looked stunned. He always thought that the Queen Mother knew, but it turned out that she didn't know?
"Then why is she cold to me?"
Wei Qingyan thought about this question carefully when he decided to test the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother's attitude towards you has changed since three years ago. Let's take a look at what you did three years ago?"
"Three years ago, I went to Huangshaling to look for you, and then sent troops to Beiling to avenge you.
Half a year later, Beiling surrendered. I followed the method left by the fat monk and sacrificed my soul fire. My hair turned gray overnight, I became sick and weak, and my military power was taken away.
The Queen Mother summoned me to the palace. I thought she would feel sorry for me, but she gave me a whip. After that, I went to the palace to see her again, but she refused to see me and asked Aunt Wang Chun to tell me that she did not have a son like me. .
I realized that she might have known about my life experience, and she knelt outside Cining Palace for two days, wanting to see her. However, after I knelt down and passed out, she gave me bone-splitting poison and told me not to enter Cining Palace again. Ning Palace. "
He spoke very slowly, analyzing the past bit by bit in his mind.
"Jingzhe said to Du Xueyi that the Queen Mother poisoned you because she was disappointed in you because of your masculine style.
Previously, I felt that even if the mother was disappointed with her child, it would not be like this.
Now that we have confirmed that she still cares about you, we can rule out that she is angry with you because you went to Huangshaling to find me.
The turning point for her change of attitude towards you was when you sent troops to Beiling.
Going back again, let's think about the fact that Grandma Wang Chun was the maid who followed the Queen Mother when she was a girl. It is very likely that she did not betray her later, but that she was a pawn placed by others around the Queen Mother from the beginning.
The Beiling coach Su Fu is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and the Xie family is also a wealthy family of the previous dynasty. Could it be that Grandma Wang Chun is actually an old member of the previous dynasty, and her master is a remnant of the previous dynasty.
You killed Su Fu, a remnant of the previous dynasty, and what control did the Queen Mother have to the remaining remnants of the previous dynasty? They forced her to treat you like this to avenge Su Fu? "
This guess is very bold.
But it makes sense.
Seeing that Shi Yu did not refute, Wei Qingyan added, "If this is the case, then there are still remnants of the previous dynasty in the Wei Dynasty."
This is a terrible thing.
When it comes to their family and country, both of them looked solemn, and their personal feelings were temporarily put aside.
Shi Yu said, "The prince was retaliated for destroying Princess Yu's village. If it is as we guessed, then those people imprisoned in Princess Yu's village were prepared for the people behind her, the remnants of the previous dynasty.
It is the remnants of the previous dynasty who really need to make up for the form. "
This makes sense. Princess Yu is clearly not seriously ill, so why would she persist in such a cruel and inhumane thing.
It also makes sense why the prince was retaliated like this, even at the risk of exposing Master Xu and Aunt Wang Chun.
Because Zhuangzi is most likely the source of survival for the remnants of the previous dynasty. If the prince destroys his source of survival, it is equivalent to ending his life.
He will definitely build another Zhuangzi to meet his own needs.
Shi Yu figured it out and immediately asked Dong Zang to tell Wang Gangzheng to check how long it would take until the next 7749 days for treatment.
Dongzang came back not long after. According to the confessions of Princess Yu and others, there were still eleven days until the next day for treatment.
They had previously asked for the purification of the victim's body, which had just been used to treat illnesses, but now that Zhuangzi was destroyed, the man could not purify the captured person for forty-nine days.
But since there are requirements for purification, even if the person cannot do it for forty-nine days, he will definitely arrest him as early as possible.
Shi Yu hurriedly said, "Tell Gong Mingcheng to pay close attention to the problem of missing people in the capital. Our people should also disperse, and the surrounding villages should pay more attention."
Dongzang got the order and went to work non-stop.
The capital is so big, it is not easy to rely on people like them for defense.
Wei Qingyan stood up immediately, "I also went to visit the Liu family and Princess Yu's natal family. Zhuangzi's servants said that the only men were Liu Huan and Luo Zhifu, who occasionally went there.
Since it takes seven or forty-nine days to cure a disease, Magistrate Luo is far away in Linzhou and only comes once a year. This can rule out remnants of the previous dynasty pretending to be him. "
Then only Liu Huan is left.
If the remnants of the previous dynasty had been pretending to be Liu Huan and hiding in the Liu family, the Liu family might be able to find something.
"I'll go with you." Shi Yu held her hand.
Wei Qingyan smiled at him and said, "Okay, I just want to go to Dajue Temple to check your life experience. I have to wait a little longer."
It seemed that every time he wanted to investigate this matter, something else happened, occupying Wei Qingyan's time and energy.
She felt a little guilty.
Shi Yu touched her head and said, "It doesn't matter, things will be over at some point. Let's pick the most important ones."
If the remnants of the previous dynasty were just trying to survive, they would definitely choose to stay away from the capital rather than stay under the emperor's nose. They would also most likely involve the Queen Mother, so the plan would not be simple.
How many soldiers died back then in exchange for the peace that the Wei Dynasty has now. It must not be ruined by the remnants of the previous dynasty again.
As a royal prince, Shi Yu felt that it was his duty to protect the people. Wei Qingyan was once a general who protected her family and country, so guarding peace had become her instinct.
That night, the two of them dressed in night clothes and entered the sealed Liu Mansion.
However, none of them expected to meet an unexpected person in the Liu Mansion.
