”Wei Qing always has a sense of propriety. We believe in her.” Old Emperor looked at Wei Qing with extremely deep eyes that were filled with trust.
Xiao Qingqian's lips moved, he naturally knew that Wei Qing would never do something that he was not confident of, and once he was determined, he would persevere to the end.
But Prince Rui was just too scary, what if he hurt Wei Qing?
”You're hurting me.” Wei Qing shouted.
The Prince Rui was startled and quickly let go of his hand. However, he couldn't hide the excitement and jubilation in his eyes.
”Is that true?”
Wei Qing rubbed her wrist as she nodded heavily.
The Prince Rui was extremely excited, ”When will you bring me to see Fu Er? What is she like now, am I, am I okay? ”
Wei Qing was at a loss for words, ”It should be possible.”
Prince Rui was too happy, he picked up the guqin and sat down, then very quickly Qing Ling's guqin started playing in the air.
Wei Qing looked at the Old Emperor, ”Royal father, I will have to tie this up with the bell person. Tomorrow, I and Ah Qian plan to bring the Prince Rui to the tombs in the outskirts.”
The space between Old Emperor's eyebrows tightened, and for a moment, Wei Qing was unable to guess what he was thinking.
”Alright.” After a long while, Old Emperor finally made a decision.
Wei Qing took a deep breath and said to Xiao Qingqian: ”Since that's the case, it's not early yet. I will return to Prince Chu’s Mansion with Ah Qian.”
Old Emperor nodded.
When Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian left the forbidden grounds, Old Emperor took one last look at the Prince Rui who was playing the zither with his eyes closed, then turned and left.
The next day, Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian arrived at the Imperial Palace early and brought Prince Rui to the outskirts of the mausoleum.
Because she was worried that there would still be poisonous gases like poison in the mausoleum, Wei Qing prepared a lot of Hundred Poison Pill s. Furthermore, she had all the servant girls in the house sew anti-toxic masks filled with wood ash and charcoal overnight.
Last night, the dark guards continued to dig the layer of earth above the mausoleum. They did not need to enter through the mausoleum's entrance.
Before entering, Wei Qing had the dark guard use her internal energy to shout at the mausoleum, saying that the Prince Rui came with them, hoping that Ruo Fu would take the initiative to come up. Otherwise, they would go down.
The sound of internal energy mixed with it traveled extremely far. At the end of the mausoleum, a woman was sitting in a chair, supporting her head with one hand. Her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.
However, when she heard this voice, her eyes opened wide with a frightening and cold glint within.
”Brother Hai!”
Hearing the voice, Eunuch Gui's twin brother Qiu Hai walked out, ”Little Sister Fu, what's the matter?”
”What did you just hear?” Ruo Fu frowned as she pricked up her ears and listened attentively.
Qiu Hai earnestly listened, ”I didn't hear anything.”
Ruo Fu sat back down with a serious face, she spoke again but she suddenly sat up straight.
When Qiu Hai stood up, he immediately knelt down and advised: ”Little sister Fu, you believe the emperor will release Prince Rui?”
Ruo Fu naturally did not believe it either.
Back then, she and the Prince Rui had truly fallen in love, but Emperor Xian had obstructed them completely. He had even announced to the entire world the fake news of the Prince Rui's death in order to break them apart.
In those days, when she heard news of Prince Rui's death, she wished that she could just go with him. However, if they wanted to live together, they would die together.
All sorts of questions were asked, and they finally found the location of the Prince Rui's mausoleum.
When she broke through the layers of mechanisms, reached the grave and pushed open the coffin, there was nothing inside. She knew that the late emperor must have deliberately announced the news of Prince Rui's death, thinking that if she really had deep feelings for him, she would definitely follow him.
Since the late emperor was heartless, then there was no need to blame her for being unjust.
