Wen Zhaoyu knew nothing about everything his brother did. Not only that, he also testified that his brother could not tell An Jingheng about it.
"General Shangguan was drunk that night and mistook the common people for his brother-in-law."
"Impossible, I was pretending to be drunk that night, how could I not recognize people? Besides, Wen Zhaoting is much younger than you."
Wen Zhaoyu then asked for a basin of water, washed his face with the medicinal powder he prepared, and then took off the fake beard and fake wrinkles attached to his face.
At the same time, the stains caused by the medicinal powder also disappeared.
He looks like he is in his early twenties.
Wen Zhaoyu is proficient in medicine and stone, especially good at rejuvenating his appearance, so he looks very young.
The reason why I pretend to be old is to avoid disaster.
More than ten years ago, when he treated the king of Hedong County, he offended the king of Gui, Changsun Ji, and fled the capital for a time.
It was not until later that he met his current wife that he returned to the capital to settle down.
In order to prevent others from recognizing him, he disguised himself as an old man.
"The face of the grass-roots man is sixty-seven times similar to that of his younger brother. It was also night, so General Shangguan mistakenly identified him." Seeing that Shangguan Yuan did not believe it, Wen Zhaoyu described the situation that night in detail.
"If it's not what he said, then it's what you said."
"What an injustice! How can a common man, who has been practicing medicine and saving people all his life, instigate people to dig up imperial tombs? This is extremely unscrupulous!"
"Marquis Yongzhong, I understand your desire for revenge at that time, but it is obvious that you cannot be blamed for this matter. An Jingheng has a disobedient heart, and the An family's disaster was caused by his willful behavior. Don't mention it again in the future."
Therefore, the emperor only punished Shangguan Yuan for his "crazy" behavior at the funeral yesterday, with forty canes.
Qianru, on the other hand, was punished with eighty floggings.
Unexpectedly, the wind picked up during the execution, and Qianru was blown to the roof.
It's spectacular now.
A large group of people gathered around her and came to see her clinging to the eaves.
"Ru'er, don't be afraid, I will come to save you right away."
Shangguan Yuan hurriedly asked the Imperial Army to find a ladder, and went up to rescue her himself.
The wind just now was not very wild, how could it blow people to the eaves?
Not to mention that the emperor and empress did not believe it, even the executioners did not believe it.
But she just stood there calmly, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was suddenly blown to the roof by the wind.
Some people speculated that she might be a magician.
Shangguan Yuan was eager to protect his wife and started to argue with her, saying that she was just too thin and too light.
Empress Shen couldn't get used to Shangguan Yuan's style, and joked: "How light can it be? It can't be lighter than a bag of cotton, right? In this fashion, you can't roll a bag of cotton onto the roof, let alone a human being?"
But Shangguan Yuan felt that Qianru in his arms was very light, even lighter than a bag of cotton.
Empress Shen then ordered someone to bring a bag of cotton to compare the weight with Qianru, but she was actually lighter.
Can someone who is lighter than a bag of cotton still be a human being?
Thinking of what Qianru said, Empress Shen couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine.
She whispered into the emperor's ear: "Could this be a ghost who has been wronged?"
"nonsense!"
The emperor was unmoved on the surface, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, so he called the palace doctor to diagnose her and see if she had any strange disease.
Unexpectedly, the imperial doctors all said that everything was normal with her.
"Your Majesty, I am really An Qianru."
There is no reason why Shangguan Yuan has been avenged, but he should let go of the murderer who destroyed the whole family of Anhou Mansion.
Qianru saw a slightly unusual look on Changsun Lue's face, so she told him that when he was young, he learned bowing, horse riding, and archery from his father, An Xingdao.
"My father always praised you as a natural talent. Why did you kill the whole An family without listening to his explanation?"
"Presumptuous! Palm!"
When Qianru saw the executioner coming, she timidly hid beside Shangguan Yuan.
Shangguan Yuan is also happy to be her shield.
"That's all! I have pardoned and sealed An Xingdao, so why can't I bear these idle words?"
"Since you have pardoned Anhou's crimes, why do you still insist on punishing me, the only orphan? Are you saying one thing and doing another?"
"Why do you say you are the daughter of An Hou?"
Qianru smiled, "The appearance may be similar, but the handwriting, talent, and memory are also similar?"
As we all know, the daughter of Marquis An became famous at a young age and was known as the most talented woman in the capital. Even the library in the palace also contains several of her paintings and calligraphy works.
Therefore, the emperor and empress took the collection to test her handwriting.
Qianru finished it with a wave of her hand, and the emperor was speechless.
Then she was tested on her poetry, prose, and poetry, and she answered fluently.
The handwriting matches, the talent is amazing, and the rest is memory.
After applying, several people who had dealt with her were sent to her.
Among them were talented women, noble ladies, and noble ladies like Nie Sanniang, the Duke of Rongguo.
Qianru talked to them one by one, even if it was a long time ago, she could still understand them eight or nine times.
Everyone said that she was indeed An Qianru, the daughter of An Xingdao.
The emperor was so surprised that he publicly recognized Qianru as his adopted sister and gave her the new status of Princess Anping.
She proved her identity, originally for revenge, but she got the imperial seal.
Obviously the empress did not regard herself as a threat at all, a weak woman who could even be blown away by the wind. Qianru was very unwilling to do so.
"An Qianru, I guess you approached Shangguan Yuan just for revenge. Now that your goal has been achieved, it's time to let go."
It's easy to say, let go, how can you avenge this?
Qianru held Shangguan Yuan's arm tightly, and Shangguan Yuan was unwilling to let go of her.
They both knelt down and begged the emperor and empress to grant their true love.
Empress Shen was not angry and murmured to the emperor: "How can this be sincerity? It is clearly a false intention and a delusion. Poor An Tai's daughter is so beautiful and ill-fated that she is so infatuated with her!"
The emperor was not so sentimental. In his opinion, Shangguan Yuan was pure-minded and had always married An Qianru. He was considered a very affectionate person and could be used.
So, for the first time, he summoned An Tai to lobby and make connections, hoping that An Tai would recognize Qianru as his daughter, and then help Shangguan Yuan and Qianru get over it together.
Of course An Tai could see the emperor's thoughts, but his daughter had been wronged and died before her bones were cold and she had not yet been buried!
After filing an imperial petition, the result was that the son-in-law and the "mistress" were brought together. Are there any fair people in this world?
"My dear, I know your pain of losing a daughter, so I specially gave you a daughter. She also happens to be named An Qianru, and you are a god-given father-daughter fate! She is also a poor person, and she has a close relationship with you.
Your concubine’s death has absolutely nothing to do with it!”
An Tai smiled coldly, "I am not a grass tree. If you want me to accept this adopted daughter, I must not take revenge for my little daughter."
The emperor secretly thought, An Tai's brain is really alive!
As a result, An Qianru's efforts would be in vain if she had anything to do with his daughter's death.
It achieves the goal without directly contradicting, and saves one's own face.
"Okay, I will let Shangguan Yuan and Princess Anping avenge your daughter. If they can't do it, I will punish them both severely!"
