Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 117 The Substitute Actress Counterattacks Bai Yueguang (22)

Emperor Wenchang stared at Shi Qing's delicate neck, his eyes slightly gloomy and his tone was a little threatening.

"Really? It seems like you're not afraid of death!"

Shi Qing lowered her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have suffered so much in the past ten years. I have experienced things more terrifying than death. How could I be afraid of death?"

"Your Majesty has been having nightmares every day for the past few years. Could it be that he has never had any doubts about what happened back then?"

Emperor Wenchang seemed to be smiling, and no one could tell his emotions. However, Shi Qing felt that his eyes were like knives, wanting to cut him.

"What happened back then has been settled. Even if there are other explanations, I only see the evidence. I can forgive your crime of deceiving the emperor, but as a little girl, do you dare to pay the price for overturning the Yun family's verdict?"

Shi Qing kowtowed heavily, expressing her resolve. "Your Majesty, please give me a chance to redress the Yun family's grievances within half a month. If I fail to do so, I will allow Your Majesty to take my life."

Dou Yao's expression changed slightly. He grabbed Shi Qing's sleeve and frowned, "What do you mean? Yun Qing, do you know that you are entrusting your life to someone else? You are foolish!"

Shi Qing's eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't let them fall. She was very calm and composed, making it difficult to see through her heart.

"Ten years ago, I should have followed my parents. Now that I'm alive, as long as there's a glimmer of hope, I'll overturn the Yun family's case. The emperor is willing to give me this opportunity, and I'm already very grateful."

Emperor Wenchang looked at Shi Qing for the first time. Her appearance was indeed outstanding, and she was somewhat similar to the former Princess Yongning. However, the young woman in front of him had a deeper understanding of people's hearts, which Princess Yongning could not compare with.

Emperor Wenchang stroked his forehead and said, "I have a headache. Little girl, do you have any suggestions?"

Shi Qing crossed his arms, glanced at Emperor Wenchang, pointed at both sides of Emperor Wenchang's shoulders, and said with pursed lips.

"If there is anything I said that is not right, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Under Emperor Wenchang's puzzled gaze, Shi Qing pointed at his shoulder and coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, has any concubine in the harem lost a child in the past six months?"

Emperor Wenchang's face changed slightly. The concubines in the harem were all selected and entered the palace three years ago. He just went to the harem every month as usual. Fortunately, one of the concubines was in good health and soon became pregnant.

However, although the concubines became pregnant many times, they often suffered miscarriages. The empress dowager ordered people to go to Wanfo Temple to pray to Buddha, but in the end, no royal heir was left.

He sighed, "Concubine Wen and Concubine Yue both had miscarriages. They were frightened to death. Perhaps it's because I'm unlucky, so there are no children in the harem."

Shi Qing shook his head and said with certainty, "It's not God's will, but man's. There are evil spirits in the harem, so the concubines are always suffering and their pregnancies are in danger. And the emperor has been weak and frail lately. Does he also feel that his health has deteriorated, as if it happened overnight?"

Emperor Wenchang did not speak immediately, but everything Shi Qing said matched his expectations, and his face turned pale.

"Why?"

Shi Qing handed Emperor Wenchang a jade Buddha and a piece of sandalwood, and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. This incense is called rhinoceros horn incense. It can reveal the soul. In the dead of night, you may wish to invite the soul out. You will know the answer."

Shi Qing paused, glanced at Fu'an, the chief eunuch standing beside Emperor Wenchang, and said respectfully.

"Eunuch, please call the imperial physician, a newly promoted medical officer, to examine the emperor's pulse."

Fu'an waited for the reply from Emperor Wenchang. After getting the definite answer, he went to the Imperial Hospital with his whisk and invited the newly appointed imperial physician, Sun Yue.

Emperor Wenchang was lying on the bed. Sun Yue bowed tremblingly and began to take Emperor Wenchang's pulse. However, after taking Emperor Wenchang's pulse, he was so scared that he fell to his knees.

"The Emperor has a chronic poison in his body. Although it's not easily detected, it accumulates over time. By the time it's discovered, the Emperor's body is already beyond recovery. It's usually Master Lin, the Chief of the Imperial Hospital, who takes his pulse. How could he not know that the Emperor is poisoned?"

This was said so clearly that Emperor Wenchang also understood it. It turned out that there was a problem with the people around him. He vaguely remembered that the head of the Imperial Hospital was recommended by Chen Wang Jing Chengen.

"Doctor Sun, can the emperor's illness be cured?"

Fuan asked worriedly, his face full of worry.

"It will take some time, but please rest assured, I will do my best. There is no need to rush this matter."

Emperor Wenchang asked Sun Yue to go down and prepare the medicine, and at the same time stated that the matter could not be taken seriously. It seems that he has too many accomplices around him.

After Sun Yue left, Emperor Wenchang closed his eyes and only ordered Shi Qing to light rhino horn incense. He wanted to know what kind of evil spirit was causing trouble in the harem.

The harem was managed by Consort Qin, who held the same rank as the Vice Queen, except that Emperor Wenchang did not confer her a title of Queen. Consort Qin was the mother of Chen Wang Jing Cheng'en.

Shi Qing lit the rhino horn incense with a fire stick. In the huge hall, only the smell of rhino horn incense could be smelled. Wu Miaoyu crawled out from the jade Buddha. She saw the two little ghosts on the shoulders of Emperor Wenchang and pulled them out directly.

"So they are two little ghosts. No wonder the Dog Emperor couldn't sleep because of them."

Emperor Wenchang, “…”

Shi Qing coughed and said, "The rhino horn incense is lit. Emperor Wenchang can see you and hear you."

Wu Miaoyu, "..."

Shi Qing muttered something, allowing Emperor Wenchang to see clearly the two mists behind him. The two little ghosts were little girls with pigtails. One was on his back, and the other was holding his legs.

The little ghost whimpered and cried, "The evil woman hurt us, and the emperor didn't avenge us, and he also made us unable to reincarnate."

"You wicked father! We were murdered by the virtuous concubine. Saffron was added to the pregnancy-maintaining medicine given to my mother, and she was then pushed into the lotus pond in the palace. Poor mother is gone too. Woo woo woo."

"Bad father, we can't reincarnate, so please come to the underworld to accompany us quickly, wuwuwu..."

Emperor Wenchang looked at the two little ghosts. Their voices were very childish. If they were born, they would probably be cute little girls.

Emperor Wenchang never believed in ghosts and gods, but when he saw the two children, his heart trembled, and an indescribable piercing pain made him frown slightly.

Shi Qing looked at the little ghost and asked, "Why can't you be reincarnated? Even your remains are gone?"

The little ghost was surprised that Shi Qing could see him, and was even more moved that he could see a living person, so he kept chattering.

"The virtuous concubine buried our remains in the Ten Yin Land. I heard that this can absorb the good luck of others. Otherwise, how could the fifth prince be promoted so quickly?"

Shi Qing's face was gloomy. In the Land of Ten Yin, King Chen and his mother were truly vicious. No wonder they were the biggest winners. It was really hard to agree with this.

Emperor Wenchang's face was gloomy. "What is the Land of Ten Yin?"

Shi Qing replied in a deep voice, "The toilet in Prince Chen's mansion."

"..."

Everyone was silent. Emperor Wenchang looked at the two little ghosts who could not be reincarnated and said in a deep voice, "Can you help them to be liberated and reincarnate?"

"If there are no corpses, it is naturally impossible to do it. This matter depends on how the emperor will do it."

Emperor Wenchang handed the matter over to Fu'an, who was required to use any means to dig up the remains of the two children.

Shi Qing muttered something, took out a talisman and handed it to Emperor Wenchang.

"Your Majesty has been plagued by troubles lately. This talisman can save your life. If the talisman burns, it will be used to pay for your life."

Shi Qing temporarily placed the two little ghosts in the Jade Buddha, and Wu Miaoyu also hid in the Jade Buddha.

Emperor Wenchang thought of the female ghost he had just seen, and his face turned pale. "That girl, about fifteen or sixteen, looks somewhat familiar. Do you know who she is?"

Dou Yao bowed to Emperor Wenchang.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the Wu family? That woman was Wu Miaoyu, the eldest daughter of the Wu family. She died tragically at the Shen family's house and was buried with the walls of the pavilions and waterside terraces."

Emperor Wenchang recalled many past events. The eldest daughter of the Wu family was indeed missing. He thought she disappeared with her lover, but it turned out that she was murdered.

His face darkened slightly. In the court, he had trusted Shen Zhongli, whom he thought was an impartial person, but who would have thought that he was responsible for a death.

"Investigate this matter thoroughly for me."

Dou Yao bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Shi Qing raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Wenchang. He couldn't come to the palace in vain this time. He had to ask for some reward.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Imperial Observatory is short of staff. I wonder if with my abilities, I could go there and do some work to help Your Majesty solve his problems."

Emperor Wenchang patted his chest and calmed down. He remembered that Shi Qing was good at fortune-telling and that if he stayed in the palace he could solve many problems, so he finally agreed to it.

"The Imperial Observatory is short of fortune-tellers, so you are qualified. I allow you to move freely in the palace, but you must not cause trouble. Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"

Shi Qing nodded and took on the task smoothly. Calculating the time, King Chen's welcoming banquet was about to begin, so it would be a good opportunity.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wenchang was a man of deep thoughts and was in a bad mood, so he asked Shi Qing and Dou Yao to leave the palace temporarily.

The place where Shi Qing lives now is the house he bought with the money he saved up before. It has three courtyards and is very conspicuous in the long street. The most important thing is that it is very wealthy.

When they returned to the mansion, Lu Ya was waiting in the courtyard for Shi Qing to come back. When she saw Shi Qing, she waved to him hurriedly.

"Miss, I have prepared the meal. I have your favorite dishes. You have lost weight."

Shi Qing looked at the exquisite dishes on the table. They looked better than the meals from the previous two days. She raised her eyebrows and glanced warily at the treetops not far away.

Sure enough, I saw someone. It turned out to be Yun Zhan hiding in the dark. He was still wearing a blue shirt, looking cold and aloof, as if he was not worldly.

"Brother, you're here too? Would you like to have dinner with me?"

Yun Zhan hesitated for a moment and stepped into the kitchen. Shi Qing stood up and added a set of bowls and chopsticks for him. A month ago, Shi Qing escaped with Yun Zhan's help.

Lv Ya's cooking skills are very good, and the dishes she makes are comparable to those in restaurants. Yun Zhan is very elegant when eating, with a sense of nobility in his bones.

"Qingqing, the matter you investigated has been thoroughly investigated. Shen Zhongli did indeed marry Princess Yongning into his family. Princess Yongning has been secretly going to Yanyu Tower recently. The person she met was a Turkic man."

Shi Qing put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, his expression gloomy.

"It seems like a self-torture scheme. I'm afraid Wen Mian's return this time isn't to be expelled, but... to disrupt the capital for the Turks, so we can take advantage of the situation and invade!"

Yun Zhan had the same idea. The two looked at each other and quickly talked things out.
