Shu Blossoms

Chapter 415 A Ping is on hunger strike again
Zheng Wei learned that the fire in Shuiyun Jian had been extinguished, and found two burnt people beyond recognition. The two men were very similar to Han Shidi and Xia Houqing in shape, and the unburned clothes on their bodies were also the same as those they both wore when they were alive. In the same way, Han Shidi's personal jade ring was also found from one person. Jing Zhaoyin said that the two should be them.

Zheng Wei frowned, and asked suspiciously: "The person is burnt beyond recognition, why can I still see what clothes he is wearing?"

The guard who answered replied, "Master Jing Zhaoyin said that it was only because Han Shidi's hand fell into the water tank beside him before he died, and his sleeves were soaked in the water that it didn't burn out."

Although Zheng Wei felt strange but couldn't say anything, she could only temporarily press the button and not mention it, planning to go to Jingzhao Mansion to see it for herself in the afternoon.

She plans to go to Xiuli Village first, visit Grandma Shen and Shen Qing's grandson and grandson, and then send them home.

When Zheng Wei arrived at Xiulizhuang, she heard arguing in the backyard. After listening carefully, she realized that Grandma Shen was arguing to take her grandson home, "The son and daughter-in-law will have to come back in a few days, if they can't find We should hurry!"

Seeing Zheng Wei heaved a sigh of relief, Liniang ran over with a smile, "Princess, you are here, Granny and the others are clamoring to go back! But I'm afraid that there will still be unrest there, so I dare not send them back."

Zheng Wei walked in front of Grandma Shen, bowed solemnly, and said gratefully: "Grandma is merciful, you have saved the crown prince and the second prince this time, you are kind to Da Zhou and the royal family, and His Majesty will definitely give you a reward. It’s also my younger brother, if you ask for something in the future, as long as you don’t violate morality or break the law, I will do my best.”

Upon hearing the words, Grandma Shen hurriedly pulled Shen Qing to kneel to thank her, but Zheng Wei stretched out her hand to stop her, she comforted with a smile: "When His Majesty rewards you, it's not too late for you to thank me."

Zheng Wei saw that Grandma Shen was hesitant to speak, so she asked: "Grandma has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

After hearing the words, Grandma Shen faltered and said: "My ancestors planed food in the field. Later, I sold the land and bought it for my son to buy a government official. It is considered promising. But a few days ago, my son injured his leg and lost his job. I got an errand in the yamen, and my daughter-in-law took my son out to seek medical treatment and hasn’t returned for a long time.”

Zheng Wei understood what Grandma Shen meant, "Don't worry, grandma, if your son's leg has not healed after his return, bring him to Xiuli Village, and I will find the best doctor to heal him."

Grandma Shen was so excited that she wanted to kneel down again, Zheng Wei held her back and said, "If he doesn't come back, you can also send a letter to Xiuli Village, and I will try to find someone for you!"

"Great gracious princess, the princess, I will set up a tablet of longevity for you!" Grandma Shen was so excited that Zheng Wei felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked Liniang to take her back to rest, and told her to send them home after lunch.

Liniang helped Grandma Shen to leave, but Shen Qing did not leave, Zheng Wei knelt down and looked at him and asked curiously, "Ah Qing, do you have anything else to say to Elder Sister?"

"Sister, can I see brother Zhao and Rui again?" Ah Qing rubbed her hands anxiously.

Zheng Wei thought for a while, then replied softly, "When you grow up and become a high-ranking official, you will be able to see them."

Ah Qing raised her head and blinked her big eyes and asked, "Sister, how can I become a high official?"

"When you grow up, you can join the army to kill the enemy, and if you make a lot of military achievements, you can become a general. Or if you go to study and read, and become a learned and virtuous person, you can be recommended as an official."

Ah Qing lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Zheng Wei, and said immaturely but firmly: "Then I'll be a great general!"

"Okay, you have ambition!" Zheng smiled and praised, "If Ah Qing wants to practice martial arts, I can find someone to teach you!"

"Thank you, sister!" Ah Qing had a bright smile on her face, Zheng Wei felt a lot brighter in her heart when she saw it.

At this time, the little girl ran over with a sad face, "Princess, A Ping won't eat anymore!"

"Why this time?" Zheng Wei patted Ah Qing and asked him to find Grandma Shen, and followed Xiao Ya to Aping's room.

"I don't know. After burying sister Miao'er, he became like this again."

The little girl was worried with a bowl of porridge that had been reheated several times and was already rotten.

Zheng Wei stood at the door and watched A Ping, who was sitting cross-legged, return to his previous lifeless appearance. She deliberately lifted the door frame hard and walked in, but A Ping didn't respond at all.

Zheng Wei thought for a while and imitated Ah Ping's appearance, sitting cross-legged opposite him, and asked him very calmly, "What are you doing?"

After a long time, A Ping did not respond, and when Zheng Wei almost thought that he would not be able to respond, A Ping whispered devoutly: "Enlighten the Tao with your body, and help the celestial master obtain the Tao and eternal life!"

Zheng Wei was confused, but at least he didn't have a clue.

A Ping went on hunger strike not because of Miao Er's death, but because Zhang Ru, a fake Taoist priest, acted as a demon!
Zheng Wei stood at the door and thought for a long time, although Zhang Ruo can't be found now, there is still Li Shu, his confidant, in Qingwei Division's prison.

She decided to ask him to find out!

In the prison of Qingwei Division, the moment Li Shu saw Zheng Wei, his face showed a clear and mocking smile, "The Princess came a few days later than I expected, that little guy is still alive?"

"You don't want him to live?" Zheng Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice.

Li Shu changed into a comfortable position, and said indifferently: "I don't care about his life or death, but the longest time in the past was only five days. Daosheng's body is weak, so I thought he couldn't last three days. See It took a lot of thought to come to the princess."

"What did you do to him? What does it mean to realize the Tao through your own body?" Zheng Wei understood the meaning of Li Shu's words, there were many children who were like A Ping, they all tortured themselves to death.

"Enlightening the Tao with one's own body is to select talented children to learn Taoism"

Li Shu only spoke halfway, but no matter how much Zheng Wei pressed him, he didn't open his mouth to speak.

Zheng Wei was angry, but Li Shu's whole body had no good skin, and she couldn't bear to be tortured again, so she could only listen to Li Shu's wild laughter and leave angrily.

"What did this Li Shu find out?" Zheng Wei asked Mu Wu, and Mu Wu replied, "Li Shu was also a child raised by Zhang Ru. He didn't have the talent to learn Taoism, so he learned martial arts instead, and has been protecting him all the time. Zhang Ruo's side. As for his life experience is too long, it is difficult to find useful information."

"If you can't find out your background, just find out what he likes when he is around Zhang Ruo, what are his weaknesses, as long as he can talk."

Mu Wu nodded in agreement, "Someone has already checked."

Then he looked at Zheng Wei with a look of hesitation, Zheng Wei said directly: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Yesterday, the palace ordered the Shangshutai to draw up an edict overnight. His Highness the Mausoleum stamped His Majesty's seal and summoned General Han Daoyuan to return to Beijing."

Although Zheng Wei is a princess who does not involve in political affairs, he still feels that he should tell Zheng Wei.

"In what name?" Zheng Wei paused, then continued to walk fast as usual.

"Go back to Beijing to claim Han Shidi's body!" Mu Wu said dryly.

Zheng Wei didn't know what was going on in her heart for a moment, she just nodded and left the Qing Wei Division.
