"Back then, when Ziyuan was giving birth, I was standing guard outside the room. When Che 'er was sent out, I was also the one who carried him out. I remember very clearly that there was a birthmark on his right knee. After that, I confirmed it many times, so how could it not be?"
Wei Heng could confirm that Ki Chien-chul was Ziyuan's child.
"Ki Chien-chul cut off his pinky finger in front of Ziyuan, and confirmed that he would cut off all ties with Ziyuan. He would no longer call her Mother, and from then on, they would be strangers."
"This …"
Wei Heng was shocked when he heard this.
Cut off his finger …
How daring must he be to do something like this?
"All these years, Consort Duan really didn't teach her son in vain. Che 'er is a good child who can distinguish right from wrong."
Wei Heng had been worried that Ki Chien-chul would be influenced by his birth mother, but he didn't expect that this child had his own balance in his heart.
"Father, I have another question to ask." She didn't want to ask this question at first, but after thinking about it, she still needed to know. "I want to ask you, is Ki Chien-chul the son of the current emperor, or the late emperor's …"
This question was a little too awkward.
Wei Heng was also embarrassed.
He coughed softly. "Don't worry, he's the current emperor's. Ziyuan got pregnant after the late emperor passed away."
"Okay, I know. I'll take my leave first."
The royal family was really messy.
The previous empress had an affair with the retired emperor, and Qi Minghao wanted the throne every day.
The current imperial concubine had an affair with the late emperor, and was even the late emperor's concubine.
Sigh … The circle of nobles was really messy. Wei Ziyao didn't want to get involved.
Now that the truth was almost clear, all that was left was to solve the problem.
.....
After leaving the palace, Wei Ziyao returned to the herb garden. Because Ki Chien-chul's finger was cut off recently, the poison in her body had been acting up. Whenever she thought of Ki Chien-chul's pain, she would feel pain as well, the kind that couldn't be relieved.
Fortunately, Sanger brought some good news.
"Clan Leader, I've been researching on how to suppress the Gu in your body. Now, I've found a way, which is …"
"Just say it." Wei Ziyao waved her hand.
"You need to seal your inner strength in your Dantian and use your powerful inner strength to control the Gu. But if you do that …"
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean I've become a cripple without any internal energy?"
Wei Ziyao understood what Sanger meant. Sanger could only bite the bullet and nod.
"That's right. We can't find a way to eradicate it yet."
"How can that be?"
Luo Yichen was the first to object. "The situation is chaotic right now. If Young Miss loses her inner strength, she will be in danger. My, my martial arts aren't good enough. I won't be able to protect her."
Indeed, it was too dangerous now.
"Then can this be canceled? For example, I can seal it today and cancel it tomorrow. "
Wei Ziyao felt that she was being too naive when she asked this question.
As expected, Sanger looked at Wei Ziyao helplessly. "If we do as you say, then what's the difference between curing the Gu and curing it? No, this method is to fight poison with poison. We can only place a small Gu King in your body to suppress the Gu. At the same time, you have to use your inner strength to control it. This small Gu King can only stay in your body for half a year at most. It will help you guard the Gu in your body for half a year. After half a year … I think the Gu will adapt to it and this method will be useless to it. We can only think of another method by then."
In the end, it was only half a year.
After half a year, the Gu in her body would develop a resistance to the drug and this method would be useless.
And in this half a year, she would have to live like a cripple.
"Alright." Wei Ziyao didn't even think about it. "Go and prepare. After I've dealt with Third Concubine and Wei Mingyue, we'll use this method."
Now that she had to deal with Wei Mingyue, she couldn't afford to let her guard down.
After this, she decided to do it.
"Young Mistress! Have you thought about it carefully? If you love each other for a long time, why would you be together all the time? You have such a good relationship with Royal Highness, why are you in such a hurry? Now isn't the time to deal with Third Concubine and Wei Mingyue. You still have a lot to face. When the time comes … "
"I know that I still have a lot to face, but at the same time, I also have to face Royal Highness. I can't keep avoiding him like this. If he finds out that I've been poisoned, who knows what crazy things he'll do. So, I have two reasons. First, to keep him in check. Second … I, Wei Ziyao, am a person who likes to enjoy the moment. Since I love him, I'll enjoy the time I can. There's no need to torture myself, and there's no need to hide from him."
This was what it meant to dare to love and hate.
"I've heard of a saying before. You never know which will come first. So … in your limited life, do more things that you won't regret." Wei Ziyao patted Luo Yichen's shoulder.
At this moment, Sanger nodded at her. "I've already prepared the things. As long as Clan Leader says it's okay, I can do it at any time."
"Alright. Then you can go back and wait."
"Yes."
Many people knew that Wei Ziyao had been poisoned with a gu, but no one would tell Ki Chien-chul.
But now …
"Miss, do you think that you've suddenly lost all your martial arts … Won't it be harder to hide this from Royal Highness?"
"Do you think that it'll be easier for him to accept that I've accidentally gone mad and my dantian is damaged and I can't use my martial arts for a short period of time? Or do you think that it'll be easier for him to accept that I've fallen in love with him?"
Luo Yichen understood. Miss had already thought of how to tell Royal Highness.
She had already decided to take responsibility for this matter.
She was right.
If she had accidentally gone mad and caused her dantian to be damaged, it would indeed be easier for him to accept this matter.
"After this, I'll have to trouble you even more."
"Miss, this subordinate and the entire Crafty Pavilion are yours. There's no trouble at all. It's an honor to serve you."
Luo Yichen used to follow Wei Ziyao only because of Ki Chien-chul's orders.
But it was different now. Not only him, but the entire Crafty Pavilion had already acknowledged Wei Ziyao as their spiritual leader.
This woman used her strength to convince everyone.
.....
At the same time, Wei Yang snuck into Third Concubine's courtyard.
At first, he didn't think so because he had never entered Third Concubine's courtyard. But now, he felt that this courtyard was very strange.
Because this courtyard didn't seem to have any vitality. It was lifeless, like a graveyard.
The courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion was basically decorated with green plants.
In every courtyard, there were trees and flowers. Even if there weren't any trees, there was still some bamboo.
However, this courtyard was very strange.
There were no plants. There wasn't even a lawn or a small wildflower on the ground.
The entire courtyard was decorated with a stone forest.
