Chapter 513 She should be wrong
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Cui He asked with concern.
"I don't know, too many things happened today..."
Wei Qingwan was very upset at the moment.
It was a great thing for her to accompany King Yu and Princess Wang to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and she finally had the opportunity to meet King Yu.
However, the reality was very different from what she expected, King Yu didn't respond when he saw her.
Talking to her is only for Wei Qingruo's affairs.
This made her feel a deep sense of crisis. If she couldn't be favored, she didn't know what her situation in the palace would be like in the future.
The prince seems to be very concerned about Wei Qingruo's affairs, and the princess also seems to hope that she can get closer to Wei Qingruo.
But how could she swallow this breath and make friends with Wei Qingruo? The reason she took the position of King Yu's side concubine was to trample Wei Qingruo under her feet!
What should she do? Can he make good use of his relationship with Wei Qingruo without being overwhelmed by Wei Qingruo?
Another thing she couldn't let go of was Prince Rui's appearance.
Although the lights during the palace banquet were not as bright as in daytime, they were not too dark. When Prince Rui spoke, the distance between her and Prince Rui was not too far away. Is it possible to make a mistake in that situation?
Wei Qingwan was a little annoyed, she knew that when she went to toast Wei Qingruo with Princess Yu, she should have had a look at Prince Rui's face, and the distance between them would have been even closer then, so she should have been able to see it at that time A little clearer.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you?" Cui He asked worriedly when she saw that Wei Qingwan was lost in thought.
"Cuihe, did you see clearly when the second brother's body was brought back?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"This...slave, how dare you look at it? I heard from other people that the second young master was hacked to a **** mess by the bandits, and died in a miserable state. In addition, it took a long time for the body to be transported back, and it has already begun to rot. It is very terrifying." Cui He replied.
After finishing speaking, Cui He asked Wei Qingwan again: "Miss, why are you asking this question? It's scary to ask a dead person in a decent way."
"It's okay." Wei Qingwan didn't know how to say this.
She must have misread it. One is the concubine of the Wei family, and the other is the prince who was born in the first place. The identities of the two are very different, so how can they be connected?
Besides, Prince Rui is a sick child, he will die soon, Wei Jin is also in good health, if it hadn't been for some misfortune, he would not have died at a young age.
It was late at night, Wei Qingwan washed and changed her clothes under the service of Cui He. After lying down, she was still full of doubts, worries and unwillingness. Looking out the window at the moonlight in front of the bed, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Prince Rui's Mansion.
As soon as Wei Ruo returned home, he immediately washed up, and then went to bed.
"I'm really exhausted." Wei Ruo felt exhausted all over.
"This is not the same. Farm work is tiring for the body, and attending such an occasion is tiring for the heart! I am not good at flirting with them, your lady, and there are many rules in the palace. This is the first time I have appeared in such a place Occasionally, if you lose your head by doing something wrong or saying something wrong, wouldn’t it be a big loss? Your lady, my head is very valuable!"
Wei Ruo asked a lot of questions before attending the palace banquet, and also did some psychological construction, but it was the first time, he didn’t make a mistake, and he was able to calmly respond to the emperor’s questions. Wei Ruo felt that he was already pretty good.
It is inevitable to be a little nervous and tired. How can most people feel comfortable doing this kind of thing for the first time?Anyway, if Wei can't, she feels that her ability to deal with this matter is limited.
"But miss, you are the one who wants to present this thing yourself. It will be very tiring, but miss, you still ask to do it." Xiumei said.
"Yeah, who told your lady that I want to see the anti-Japanese army win the battle? And I don't want to give the credit to other people for nothing. The second brother said that this matter can be exchanged for a lot of rewards. White silver! Maybe it will be yellow gold!" Wei Ruo said helplessly.
Xiumei nodded approvingly: "Of course you can't just give credit to others."
While talking, Xiumei came forward to rub Wei Ruo's shoulders: "Miss, I will squeeze your shoulders to relieve your fatigue. I will light you a soothing incense that you match in a while, so you can take a good rest."
"Meimei still loves me." Wei Ruo smiled all over her face.
"I don't love you, who loves you! Miss, you want to do nothing while shouting tired." Xiumei said angrily.
"I can't help it, I don't feel comfortable not doing some things to your lady." Wei Ruo squinted her eyes, enjoying Xiumei's massage service comfortably.
Xiumei smiled, pinching and continuing to talk to Wei Ruo: "I heard from Sister Lin Fang that the prince has other arrangements for the thunderbolt and the Shenwei cannon?"
"After observing the respectable muzzle-loading smoothbore gun I presented in person tomorrow, the emperor will probably ask the second brother about the manufacturing. The second brother should have his plans." Wei Ruo said.
Wei Ruo did not ask the specifics, but she interrupted what the second brother wanted to say. Her brain is used to pretend to be those things she is good at. Good brains.
The two of them have always had a clear division of labor. She is responsible for telling the second brother what she wants to do. If he agrees, he agrees.
And how to use this matter in the future is her second brother's business, and she only cares about making money.
For example, "Xu Heyou's death", she just put forward her request - to ask Xu Heyou to die. Originally, she wanted to arrange for Xu Heyou to fall off a cliff or be accidentally poisoned. This made the Qi family and King Jing suspicious of each other.
This time the same thing happened.
After relaxing for a while, Wei Ruo fell asleep peacefully smelling the calming incense she had prepared herself.
She didn't know that tonight was a sleepless night for many people.

King King's Mansion.
In front of Chu Lan stood his confidant Xue Shaoyuan, dressed in a capable black embroidered fish pattern robe, with a stern face and an obvious scar on his face.
"My lord, the investigation that you have asked your subordinates to investigate has come to fruition. Xu Heyou does have this person, and his household registration information can be found in Taizhou Prefecture. He is the cousin of Xu Zhengyong, the deputy guard of the Anti-Japanese Army, and Xu Zhengyong's mother Princess Rui's nanny, Princess Rui lived with her nanny's family when she was in Huzhou Mansion, and she has a very close connection with the Xu family." Xue Shaoyuan said.
After Xu Heyou died, Chu Lan ordered Xue Shaoyuan to investigate Xu Heyou's identity.
If Xu Heyou was pretended by Wei Qingruo, then he should have no corresponding household registration information.
