Chapter 249 She's going to die

Yu Qi went outside and saw Pei Du. "Let's wait and see what she's thinking."

Pei Du also knew that he couldn't rush things at this time.

"Does Lord Yu think that with Zhao Yu's testimony, the Crown Prince should be summoned to the Dali Temple?"

Yu Qi thought for a moment and answered seriously: "He still has quite a few people under his command. There are the Crown Prince's people in the Six Ministries, and there is also Consort Zhao in the Eastern Palace."

Consort Zhao has connections with the Zhao family. Zhao Wanfu's arrival must have been pre-arranged, and Zhao Jiahe may play a significant role.

"Too many people are taking the blame for him, so Zhao Yu seems very important." Pei Du wasn't that pessimistic yet. By digging out the truth bit by bit, he could always find Li Jing's presence.

Li Jing stayed up all night, looking at the few men under his command.

"Did someone make a move today?"

The group shook their heads in unison: "We didn't send anyone over."

Li Jing didn't want Zhao Yu to reveal everything he knew, but how could he make it so obvious?

Last time, Jiang Fengxiao was arranged by Zhao Wanfu, so this time he quickly realized something was wrong.

“Your Highness, the Crown Princess is certainly not as good as Prime Minister Zhao. If those things are revealed, it will be very disadvantageous for Your Highness.”

She should have been dealt with as soon as Zhao Yu was taken away.

Li Jing released his hands: "No rush, she hasn't said anything yet, I have my own way."

The night did not pass peacefully. When Yu Qi went to see Zhao Yu in the morning, Zhao Yu looked exhausted and weak, as if he had been seriously ill.

The doctor examined her and found that she had only been frightened, and there was nothing else seriously wrong.

Upon seeing Yu Qi, Zhao Yu's lips moved slightly. She felt weak all over and was still sweating profusely.

"Something's not right with you."

Yu Qi called the doctor over again, and Zhao Yu's condition did not seem to be caused by being frightened.

Zhao Yu seemed to remember something, and she raised her hand: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

If she doesn't speak up now, she might not have time left.

Yu Qi ordered someone to open the cell door, and Zhao Yu grabbed his sleeve.

"Li Jing wants to kill me!"

Yu Qi quickly realized that Zhao Yu was referring to her current condition.

At this point, Zhao Yu recalled the medicine she had sent her every day while she was recuperating, and the moment Li Jing touched her on the day she came to Dali Temple.

When you put all the seemingly trivial details together, you can see how truly ruthless Li Jing is.

“I have done many things for him, and now I will tell you all about them.”

The doctor came to keep Zhao Yu alive, and Yu Qi had someone write down everything Zhao Yu said.

Upon seeing the scene inside, Pei Du quickly turned around and took Shen Hanyu from him.

Zhao Yu didn't have much time left; her life had already come to an end the moment she entered the Dali Temple.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hanyu dared not delay for even a moment.

"Let's ride a horse."

Pei Du led the horse over, riding it faster.

With no time to worry about anything else, Shen Hanyu mounted her horse and headed towards the Dali Temple.

When they arrived, Zhao Yu had already finished explaining things.

Seeing Shen Hanyu approach, Yu Qi let her in.

The doctor frowned. "It's no good. It doesn't look like poisoning. It's really strange."

Zhao Yu was moved to the outside and lay on the bed with her eyes half-closed.

She is very tired now, and feels like all her strength has disappeared.

Shen Hanyu walked in, and Zhao Yu recognized her, but didn't know what she was doing there.

Do you know Shen Yanzhi?

Shen Hanyu asked her with hope.

Zhao Yu naturally knew that Shen Yanzhi was Shen Hanyu's father, and that he had died in Suzhou.

"You want to ask how Shen Yanzhi died, right?" Zhao Yu's voice was hoarse.

Shen Hanyu nodded.

A dying man's words are often good, and since Shen Hanyu came to ask, Zhao Yu didn't mind telling her.

"It's me, I'll send someone to handle it."

Zhao Yu closed her eyes and recalled that day.

Li Jing received news that Shen Yanzhi in Suzhou had discovered some clues about what was happening in Lizhou. He was the first person to rashly intrude since the incident in Lizhou.

To prevent Shen Yanzhi from making a big fuss, Li Jing told her about it and asked her and Zhao Wanfu to find a way to deal with Shen Yanzhi.

Shen Yanzhi was merely the prefect of Suzhou; it would be far too easy for him to disappear without a trace.

Zhao Yu arranged for someone to handle this matter. At that time, she still had feelings for Li Jing, and Li Jing treated her very well both in public and in private. She had not yet truly seen through Li Jing's true colors.

So she sent someone to kill Shen Yanzhi.

Later, when Shen Hanyu came to Chang'an, Zhao Yu was also somewhat moved when they met.

The murderer of her father was right in front of her, yet Shen Hanyu remained completely unaware.

“I had him poisoned.”

Zhao Yu didn't dare to look at Shen Hanyu's expression.

Shen Hanyu clenched her hands. Sure enough, no wonder they took the body away.

"Where is my father's body?"

Zhao Yu frowned slightly: "I'm not sure about that. I guess only Li Jing knows."

Later, it was Li Jing's men who went to Suzhou. Because Zhao Yu handled the matter poorly, Li Jing went there to clean up the mess.

Shen Hanyu could hardly suppress her anger, but seeing Zhao Yu like this, she said nothing and left the room.

Knowing that Shen Hanyu was in a bad mood, Pei Du came over.

"To find the body, we'll have to ask the Crown Prince."

Shen Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the doubts in her heart had been resolved. Next, she would have to confront the Crown Prince.

Li Jing is cunning; with Zhao Yu's testimony, let's see how he reacts.

Yu Qi entered the palace and presented his testimony to Li Jiangui, leaving the decision to Li Jiangui.

It's come to this point after all.

Li Jiangui put down what he was holding.

"Now that we have the evidence, let's arrest them. Do what needs to be done."

These past few days, Li Jiangui has also seen things clearly, and there's no need to hesitate anymore. Li Jing has made a mistake, and he has to pay the price.

The loss of the 30,000 soldiers in Lizhou was not only a pain for Li Sheng, but also for Li Jiangui.

People used to say that what happened in Lizhou was his Achilles' heel, and there was some truth to that.

When Li Jing received the summons from the Dali Temple, his advisors were in a real bind. These people were not considered his confidants, so they did not know that Li Jing was the one who had caused the trouble in Lizhou.

They were all wondering how Li Jing had gotten involved in that matter.

"Did Zhao Yu say all of that?"

Li Jing suddenly asked a question.

Yu Qi didn't answer him, but coldly said, "Take him away."

Li Jing still had a faint smile on his face. Yu Qi glanced at him and found that Zhao Jiahe was not there.

Speaking of which, none of the people who were watching Zhao Jiahe today responded.

"Where is Consort Zhao?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing replied calmly, "Perhaps she went back to the Zhao family. When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own lives. I don't blame her."

Yu Qi felt it wasn't that simple, so he sent someone to find Zhao Jiahe and take Li Jing away first.

What exactly did Li Jing do to act so confidently?

"Zhao Jiahe has disappeared?"

Li Huaijiang never expected that Zhao Jiahe could disappear right under her nose. She ordered her men to search every inch of Chang'an to find Zhao Jiahe.

Zhao Yu, whose life was hanging by a thread, was not particularly moved by the news.

She had advised Zhao Jiahe long ago, but Zhao Jiahe wouldn't listen.

Li Jing came in, probably to let Zhao Jiahe go out to do something else, so Zhao Yu curled up into a ball.

She is going to die.
