Chapter 512: Wei Qingwan's heart was in turmoil
Wei Qingwan's brain spun rapidly.
She could see how much King Yu cared about Wei Qingruo's affairs, and if she could provide useful information for the two, it would definitely be a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions in front of the two.
But she, like everyone else, didn't know Wei Qingruo's experience in the past few years, and if she made it up and said the wrong thing at this moment, it would be more than worth the loss.
After thinking about it, Wei Qingwan felt that instead of taking risks, it was better to choose a safe answer and not make mistakes.
So Wei Qingwan stated: "My sister was in poor health when she was young, and her parents listened to the advice of the fortune teller and sent her to the countryside to recuperate. ”
Wei Qingwan didn't dare to deny what Wei Ruo had said in public, so she could only passively choose to help Wei Ruoyuan lie, because once Wei Ruo's lie in the countryside was exposed, her identity might also be exposed.
"This king has already heard these things, and if you say something that this king doesn't know, such as what kind of cannon it is, whether it is really as powerful as she said, and it is expected to repel the Japanese invaders." Chu Heng said.
"Sister said this today, there should be no fake." Wei Qingwan replied.
Considering that Wei Qingruo should not deceive the monarch, Wei Qingwan judged that since Wei Qingruo dared to offer this thing on an occasion like the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, he should not cheat.
"Did she tell you in advance that she could make thunderballs and the copper thing that increases the distance they can throw?" Chu Heng asked again.
"My sister rarely returns home after she gets married, and the concubines don't know what happened to my sister in recent days." Wei Qingwan explained.
"Then do you know where to find your sister's master?" Chu Heng asked.
"The concubine doesn't know...... The concubine had never seen the master. Wei Qingwan replied cautiously with her head down.
"Then do you know what your sister's purpose is in making this thing and offering it to the emperor? Is she going to use this object to help King Rui get 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, and his expression was stern.
Wei Qingwan was frightened, looked panicked, and didn't know what to do.
Qi Shijing took Wei Qingwan's performance into her eyes, and opened her mouth to persuade Chu Heng at the right time: "The prince is angry, where do ordinary people want to get the ability of the dignified uncle's daughter to learn from the master of Tiangong to learn the skills that ordinary only men can do, Princess Rui also got this opportunity because of her years of cultivation in the countryside, and she will definitely not tell people everywhere about this matter, so as not to damage her reputation, no wonder Sister Wan'er doesn't know." ”
Listening to Qi Shijing's persuasion, Chu Heng's expression improved slightly.
It's not that what Qi Shijing said is reasonable, but Qi Shijing's speech made him realize his gaffe.
He then asked Wei Qingwan: "What about you, your sister once studied under a master of Tiangong, have you ever learned a similar skill?" ”
"The concubine has never learned." Wei Qingwan replied in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.
"And what did you study?"
"The concubine has studied women's studies, women's rings, embroidery, female workers, settling accounts, ordering tea, burning incense, ......" Wei Qingwan listed what she had learned one by one.
The more Chu Heng listened, the more disappointed he became.
These things that Wei Qingwan knows are all things that ordinary ladies know.
It is good to know this, but it is useless for him to ask for it.
Seeing the disappointment in Chu Heng's eyes, Wei Qingwan's heart tightened.
She didn't know why things had become like this, why what she had learned suddenly became useless, but Wei Qingruo's side door to learning in the countryside had become something that the prince valued.

"Alright, you can step aside."
Chu Heng waved his hand impatiently.
Wei Qingwan's face was full of grievances, and her eyes looked at Qi Shijing brightly.
Qi Shijing comforted her with her eyes: "It's not early today, my sister will go back to Cuiting Xuan to rest first." ”
Qi Shijing beckoned her subordinates to take Wei Qingwan down.
After Wei Qingwan was taken away, Qi Shijing continued to say to Chu Heng: "Cousin, don't worry, according to today's situation, it may not be a bad thing for us. ”
"What do you think?" Chu Heng asked.
"The things offered by King Rui are beneficial to the imperial court and to the frontier. This country will be your cousin in the future, and today's things will also be for your cousin in the future. Qi Shijing replied.
"It's hard to say that this country belongs to this king, and now there are King Jing Chulan and Rui King Chu Yi in front of me."
"King Jing really has to be careful, but King Rui is a sick man and has a limited lifespan, so my cousin doesn't have to worry too much about him."
"Although King Rui is a sick man, his father favors him, and now he has a virtuous help, how can you let me not worry? If he was pretending to be sick, wouldn't he be able to catch me off guard? That Chu is also the grandson of the former Duke of Xu, and the Mansion of Duke Xu and Queen Xu were ......"
"King Rui didn't live long, we have confirmed this matter repeatedly, cousin, you didn't worry about sending people to visit King Rui's mansion several times, and we have already got a clear answer, he really doesn't live long. And there is no need for him to pretend to be sick, if he doesn't take advantage of the current situation to win the hearts of the people and establish his own power in the court, even if he passes the throne to him in the future, he will not be able to sit steadily, he pretending to be sick is his own way out, and not being sick is the same as being sick. Qi Shijing analyzed.
Chu Heng's eyes rolled, but he calmed down.
Chu Heng: "What you said is quite reasonable, Fang is a little impatient." ”
Qi Shijing: "Recently, there has been a lot of movement on King Jing's side, and his father and emperor have frequently rewarded King Jing, and my cousin is entangled in trivial matters, and there is such a thing without warning today, and it is normal for my cousin to be a little impatient and bored." ”
Chu Heng: "One Chu Lan is enough to give me a headache, I really don't want to make Rui Wang to trouble me again." ”
Qi Shijing: "We can use King Rui now to draw him to our side and deal with King Jing together, and when he is done, we will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, get rid of the bloodline left over from his Xu State Mansion, and never suffer in the future." ”
Chu Heng: "What Jing'er said makes a lot of sense. ”
Qi Shijing: "What my cousin is worried about is what Shijing is worried about." ”
Chu Heng looked at Qi Shijing and said gently: "My cousin understands me, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for." ”
Qi Shijing lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes covering her eyes, revealing a shy expression.
Then Chu Heng reached out and hugged Qi Shijing into his arms and kissed her kissingly.
Seeing this, the surrounding subordinates hurriedly retreated.
In the room, figures swayed, gasping and breathing heavily.
On the other side, Wei Qingwan, accompanied by Cuihe, returned to Cuiting Xuan alone.
After entering the door, Wei Qingwan sat on a chair, her eyes staring at each other, and her hands clenched into fists.
