Chapter 512： Wei Qingwan is upset

  Chapter 512 Wei Qingwan is upset

  Wei Qingwan's brain was spinning rapidly.

  She could see how much King Yu cared about Wei Qingruo's affairs. If she could provide them with useful information, it would definitely be a good opportunity to make meritorious service in front of them.

   But she, like everyone else, doesn't know Wei Qingruo's experiences in the past years. If she makes up something random at this moment, says something wrong and self-defeating, the loss outweighs the gain.

  After thinking about it, Wei Qingwan felt that instead of taking risks, it is better to choose a safe answer and not make mistakes.

So Wei Qingwan stated: "My sister was in poor health when she was young. Her parents listened to the advice of the fortune teller and sent her to the countryside to recuperate. For a while."

  Wei Qingwan didn't dare to deny what Wei Ruo had said in public, so she could only passively choose to lie for Wei Ruoyuan, because once Wei Ruo's lie in the country was exposed, her identity might also be exposed.

   "This king has heard all these things, let me tell you something I don't know, such as whether the gun is really as powerful as she said, and it is expected to repel the Japanese pirates." Chu Heng said.

   "My sister said so today, so there should be no falsehood." Wei Qingwan replied.

  Considering that Wei Qingruo should not deceive the king, Wei Qingwan judged that since Wei Qingruo dared to present this object on such an occasion as the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, he would not cheat.

   "Did she tell you in advance that she can make thunderbolts and the copper thing that increases the throwing distance of thunderbolts?" Chu Heng asked again.

   "My sister seldom returns home after she got married, and the concubine is not very clear about what happened to her in recent days." Wei Qingwan explained.

   "Then do you know where to find your sister's master?" Chu Heng asked.

   "Chen Qie doesn't know... Chen Qie has never met that master." Wei Qingwan replied cautiously with her head down.

   "Then do you know the purpose of your sister making this object and presenting it to the emperor? Does she intend to use this object to help Prince Rui win something?"

   "The concubine doesn't know..." Wei Qingwan said again that she didn't know.

   "Why don't you know anything?" Chu Heng was a little unhappy, with a stern expression.

  Wei Qingwan was frightened, her expression panicked and she was at a loss.

Qi Shijing took Wei Qingwan's performance into his eyes, and spoke to persuade Chu Heng at the right time: "My lord, calm down, how can ordinary people expect that the dignified Bofu's daughter will learn from Master Tiangong to learn skills that only men can do normally? Princess Rui is also talented because of years of cultivation in the countryside. If you get this opportunity, you will definitely not tell people about it, so as not to damage your boudoir's reputation, no wonder Sister Wan'er doesn't know about it."

  Listening to Qi Shijing's persuasion, Chu Heng's expression improved slightly.

   It wasn't that what Qi Shijing said was reasonable, but that Qi Shijing's speech made him realize his gaffe.

  He then asked Wei Qingwan: "What about you, your sister once studied under the master of Tiangong, have you ever learned similar skills?"

   "The concubine has never learned it." Wei Qingwan replied in a low voice, with a slight tremor in her voice.

   "Then what have you learned?"

   "The concubine has studied women's studies, women's precepts, embroidery, women's work, accounting, ordering tea, burning incense..." Wei Qingwan listed what she had learned one by one.

  The more Chu Heng listened, the more disappointed he became.

  The things that Wei Qingwan knows are things that ordinary ladies know.

  It is good to know these things, but it is useless for him to want them.

   Seeing the disappointment in Chu Heng's eyes, Wei Qingwan's heart tightened.

  She didn't know why things turned out like this, why what she learned suddenly became useless, but what Wei Qingruo learned in the countryside became something that the prince valued.     "Okay, you step back."

  Chu Heng waved his hand impatiently.

  Wei Qingwan was full of grievances, and looked at Qi Shijing with shining eyes.

  Qi Shijing comforted her with her eyes: "It's getting late today, sister, let's go back to Cuitingxuan to rest."

  Qi Shijing beckoned for her servants to take Wei Qingwan down.

  After Wei Qingwan was taken away, Qi Shijing continued to say to Chu Heng: "Cousin, don't worry, judging from today's situation, it may not be a bad thing for us."

   "What's your opinion?" Chu Heng asked.

   "The things that Prince Rui donated are beneficial to the court and the border defense. This country will be your cousin's country in the future, so what is today will also be used by you in the future." Qi Shijing replied.

   "It's still hard to say that this country belongs to this king. Now there are King Jing Chulan and Prince Rui Chuyi standing in front of me."

   "Prince Jing really needs to be careful, but Prince Rui is a sick child with a limited lifespan. Cousin doesn't have to worry too much about him."

"Although Prince Rui is a sick child, but the emperor favors him, and now he has a virtuous wife, how can you not worry me? If he is pretending to be sick, wouldn't he catch me by surprise? Then what is Chu Yi doing?" He is the grandson of Duke Xu, and Duke Xu's mansion and Empress Xu were..."

"Prince Rui is not long alive. We have confirmed this matter repeatedly. Cousin you were worried and sent people to visit Prince Rui's mansion several times at night. You have already got a clear answer. He really does not live long. And there is no need for him to pretend to be sick. If he doesn't take advantage of the present to win over people's hearts and establish his own influence in the court, even if the emperor passes the throne to him in the future, he will not be able to sit still. It's like being sick." Qi Shijing analyzed.

  Chu Heng rolled his eyes, but calmed down.

  Chu Heng: "You are quite reasonable, I was a little impatient just now."

  Qi Shijing: "Recently there has been a lot of activity at King Jing's side, and my father has frequently rewarded King Jing, and my cousin is also involved in trivial matters. Today, such unexpected things happened. It is normal for my cousin to be a little irritable and bored."

  Chu Heng: "One Chu Lan is enough to give me a headache, I really don't want to bring out Prince Rui to cause me trouble."

Qi Shijing: "Now we can use Prince Rui first, to draw him to our side, and deal with King Jing together, and when he is successful, we will kill the roots and get rid of him, the blood left by Duke Xu's mansion, so as to prevent future troubles forever. "

  Chu Heng: "What Jing'er said makes a lot of sense."

  Qi Shijing: "What my cousin is worried about is exactly what Shijing is worried about."

  Chu Heng looked at Qi Shijing, and said softly: "My cousin understands me, and she is like this when she gets a wife. What more can a husband ask for?"

  Qi Shijing lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes covered her eyes, showing a shy expression.

   Then Chu Heng stretched out his hand to embrace Qi Shijing in his arms, and kissed her intimately.

  The surrounding servants hurriedly retreated when they saw this.

  In the room, the figure was shaking, and the sound of panting was mixed with heavy breathing.

  On the other side, accompanied by Cui He, Wei Qingwan returned to Cuitingxuan alone.

  After entering the door, Wei Qingwan sat on the chair, her eyes were fixed, and her hands were clenched into fists.
