From a distance, you can see a fire burning in front of the tomb, and you can still smell the faint fragrance of wine in the air.
The emperor did not bring paper money or ingots with him from the Liu Mansion. He could only buy them after he came out of the secret passage, saw the tomb of the general who protected the country, and ordered someone to buy them.
Apart from Feng Ruobao, there were still only four black-clothed secret guards guarding the emperor. The rest should have gone to track down the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Wei Qingyan asked Shi Yu to stay far away, and she moved slightly closer.
She could not breathe, so she would not be easily discovered by the emperor's secret guards.
For some reason, she suddenly wanted to know what the emperor would say in front of her grave. Would he feel so guilty?
She got closer, and when she saw that the secret guard was unaware, she got closer.
I heard the emperor say, "From the first time I saw you, I thought you were lovable. At that time, I thought it was the late emperor who liked you and I loved the house and the bird. I never thought that you were my child."
Knowing that you are a woman, I was really shocked. I have seen how General Wei trained his soldiers, but you, a girl, can resist and do so well.
I am a little proud in my heart. The late emperor had an outstanding general like General Wei, and I will also have you in the future. But I will not hide it from you. I was worried when I saw you and Shi Yu getting so close.
When the Huangshaling Incident happened, I was heartbroken at the loss of a good general, but I was so despicable that I was a little relieved that the National Protectorate was back in my hands..."
His voice gradually dropped, or he stopped talking, and Wei Qingyan couldn't hear anything even though he was concentrating.
I saw the emperor holding a wine jar in his hand and pouring it twice more in front of the grave, "Good boy, I can't help you."
After another long silence, the emperor stood up and patted the tombstone, "I've been confused a lot lately, and I'm confused tonight too.
Since Shi Yu knew Qingyan was a woman, how could he put her in a coffin and transport her back to the capital? I guess that when he took the body to Beiling, he wanted to hide Qingyan's identity as a woman from the world.
He doesn't believe me and is worried that I will use Qingyan's identity as a woman to deal with the Wei family. I have never thought about it before, but I really can't guarantee whether Wei Qingyan will do that in the future if he is still alive.
Most emperors are afraid that their ministers’ achievements will shock their master. When they sit on the throne, suspicion will follow. I am no exception...
Stop nagging about this, good boy, you are my eldest son, right?
If you see your sister, tell her what you just said for me. Good boy, I also want to say I'm sorry to you. You have been wronged by being my children..."
He patted the tombstone again, as if patting his son on the shoulder, "Good boy."
He rested his hand on the tombstone for a while before leading everyone away.
Wei Qingyan stood still.
Shi Yu quietly stepped forward and took the person into his arms, "It's late at night, let's go back."
"good."
When the two of them went back, they still took the secret passage of the Liu family.
This time there was no one in the Liu family. Wei Qingyan visited the Liu family and collected their grievances before returning to the Anyuan Hou Mansion.
Shi Yu sent the person to the room.
There was water in the room that Lan Shu had filled in advance, and it was still warm. It must have been because Lan Shu didn't come back, so the water cooled down and was replaced with hot water.
Wei Qingyan covered her face with a hot handkerchief, and her eyes were a little astringent. It was almost dawn, and her mother came in and changed the hot water several times for her.
It was not that she had no feelings at all about the emperor's words tonight.
Before the Huangshaling incident, she trusted him and was full of loyalty and respect for him.
But after her death, she became suspicious of many people, including the emperor. The fact was that her suspicions were right. Although he was not the mastermind, he was also an accomplice.
But he happens to be her biological father...
"Xiao Yan, I'm tired."
Shi Yu's voice sounded, interrupting Wei Qingyan's thoughts.
Wei Qingyan had something on his mind and didn't understand what he meant for a moment, "Huh?"
Shi Yu chuckled lightly, took the hot handkerchief from her hand, wiped her face and hands, and then washed her face with the water she had washed.
Seeing this, Wei Qingyan understood the meaning of his previous words, "Aren't you going back tonight?"
Shi Yu led her to the bedside, blew out the candle, and lay down with her in his arms. He just said, "I ran around all night and I don't want to move anymore."
Being hugged by him from behind, Wei Qingyan no longer had the mind to think about the emperor. His body stiffened into a wooden stick and he did not dare to move.
Shi Yu's breath hit her ears, making her ears feel like they were burning, and her heart was beating wildly.
She secretly covered her heart with her hand, as if this would make it beat slower. She was despising herself for being hopeless, and it wasn't the first time she was close to Shi Yu.
Why are you panicking?
Shi Yu originally just wanted to accompany her so that she wouldn't have to worry about being sad, but he didn't expect that he would be the one suffering in the end.
Wei Qingyan's rapid breathing due to nervousness and the tightness of her back in front of him seemed to be tugging at every one of his heartstrings.
He finally couldn't hold it back, turned the person over, leaned over and kissed her.
Wei Qingyan, who had been thinking about whether Shi Yu would do something, felt his heart drop because of this kiss.
She is not stupid, just as Shi Yu understands her, she also understands Shi Yu, and knows that he proposed to stay tonight because he was worried that she would be in a bad mood.
Lovers attract each other, hugging, and kissing are all ways to express love. Wei Qingyan has been a woman for three years, and she and Shi Yu have been communicating with each other for some time.
She did not reject Shi Yu's expression, and even enjoyed the pleasant process. After all, she recognized him.
But at this moment, she stopped it in time.
"What's wrong?" When Shi Yu saw Wei Qingyan suddenly turning over and getting up, he felt a little worried, wondering if he had just made her unhappy with Meng Lang.
Wei Qingyan smiled at him, then walked to the cabinet, took out the potion, and took off the human skin mask on his face.
Shi Yu lit the candle when she opened the cabinet.
Although he knew that her vision at night was the same as during the day, it was subconscious to provide her with light.
When he saw Wei Qingyan applying lotion on her face, he knew what she was going to do, and felt a little excited.
"Shi Yu."
Wei Qingyan looked at the man walking in front of him, raised his lips and smiled gently, "In the days to come, I still want to be Wei Qingyan."
Even though the scar between her eyebrows made her look unsightly.
But Wei Qingyan was upright in the first half of his life, why did he remain anonymous in the second half of his life?
Moreover, Shi Yu's first love was Wei Qingyan.
"Okay, let's be Wei Qingyan." Shi Yu held her face and placed a kiss on her forehead.
This was the first time he saw her true face after she returned to Beijing. The scar between her eyebrows did not feel ugly at all to him.
Because Guanyin Bodhisattva bears the sufferings of all living beings, she has scars on her eyebrows, which are called Guanyin moles by the world.
The scar between his Xiao Yan's eyebrows was made to protect the people of the Wei Dynasty. It was her medal. This medal added a touch of compassion to her originally beautiful face.
He gently stroked her brow and said warmly, "I try to make this day come faster."
Only when the true truth about Huangshaling comes to light can she return to Wei Qingyan.
He's willing to work hard for it.
Wei Qingyan saw determination and love in his eyes. She put her hands on his neck and kissed him...
