Chapter 133 It Was Him from Beginning to End
Shen Hanyu vaguely felt that the real culprit the two were talking about was probably the Crown Prince, who had repeatedly tried to kill her.
Seeing Shen Hanyu's expression, Li Huaijiang stopped beating around the bush.
"You should be able to guess that the person I was talking about with Yu Qi was the Crown Prince, who was also the real culprit who caused the tragic deaths of 30,000 soldiers in Lizhou."
Shen Hanyu moved the hand holding the chopsticks. It was indeed him. It seemed that Shen Yanzhi's death was not hard to foresee.
The letters Shen Yanzhi left behind and the things they found were probably discovered, which is why they silenced him.
The incident happened so suddenly that he even took his body with him after his death.
"If only we could find the body."
Shen Hanyu lowered her head and ate her food absentmindedly.
What she had was not enough; the few letters and documents related to Lizhou left by Shen Yanzhi were still too little of a help.
Li Huaijiang naturally knew that she was trying to bring down the Crown Prince. Li Jing had managed to do it so cleanly more than a decade ago, let alone now.
“Your father found out some things at the time, but the Crown Prince kept a close eye on things in Lizhou just in case. His actions naturally attracted the Crown Prince’s attention. He has always been the type to rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.”
Shen Hanyu had already realized that, just because she knew that she was Shen Yanzhi's daughter, he had repeatedly tried to kill her, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't die.
But she was also incredibly lucky, managing to escape in a sorry state every time.
"As for the body," Li Huaijiang sighed, "I really can't find it. If it hadn't been destroyed, I would have helped you find it."
Shen Hanyu thanked him, realizing that the only person she needed to deal with from beginning to end was Li Jing.
Li Sheng is Li Huaijiang's elder brother from the same mother. Li Sheng has been framed for so many years, and it is truly remarkable that Li Huaijiang has endured it until now.
Yu Qi took a bite of the food on the table: "Miss Shen, if you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to ask. You may not completely trust us now, but you will know in the future."
Whether Shen Hanyu believes it or not is up to her, but she is not so easily fooled. She is willing to cooperate with Li Huaijiang because she has information that she has found out.
"If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Shen Hanyu thought that it seemed that it would be within the next two years for Yu Qi to become the top scholar in the imperial examination.
If Qi enters the court as an official, it will be easier for Li Huaijiang, as it is not easy to establish a foothold in the court.
Li Jing has had a good reputation over the years, and most people in the court support him. This matter is truly not easy, and perhaps we should inform Pei Du.
Shen Hanyu thought that she should hurry back after finishing her meal at the princess's residence.
When Jin Chui saw Shen Hanyu return in a hurry, he didn't dare to ask what had happened at the princess's residence.
He wiped the water off his hands.
"Miss, the Wei family has sent an invitation to a polo match, asking if you would like to attend."
Shen Hanyu glanced at it; it was given to her by Wei Ming. Wei Ming's health had improved considerably, and since she had a few days to rest after the prefectural examination, she begged Yang Yueying to organize a polo match.
The main reason was that Wei Ming wanted to play polo, and Yang Yueying never refused Wei Ming's suggestion. As soon as the polo tournament was about to be held, Wei Ming sent invitations to Shen Hanyu and Ji Yuxiu.
"I see."
Liang Fangrong had previously said that once she left the Marquis's residence, these invitations would no longer be sent to her, but fortunately she still had a few close friends.
Jin Chui took the invitation back: "It's not good for the young lady to always be so tense. She really should go and have some fun."
Autumn is just around the corner; time has flown by in the blink of an eye.
Shen Hanyu asked Jin Chui, "Who was the person who delivered the letter to Young Master Pei?"
"He's one of our own, absolutely trustworthy, don't worry, young lady."
As long as he can be trusted, that's fine. However, Shen Hanyu still didn't dare to be too explicit in the letter, and could only tell Pei Du in a roundabout way.
"Could you deliver another letter for me tomorrow?"
Jin Chui's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed.
Miao Cui knew what had happened to Shen Hanyu with Li Huaijiang, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried.
This matter is becoming increasingly unpredictable.
It's been calm for so long, it feels like things are about to get chaotic again.
Shen Hanyu would definitely attend the polo match that Wei Ming had invited. The day before the polo match, Wei Ming brought Ji Yuxiu over.
"Hanyu, quite a few people are coming tomorrow, including the Earl of Guangning with his family. They're coming uninvited. Are you still coming?"
Shen Hanyu sipped her tea. Zhou Yurong couldn't do anything to her right now. She was engaged, and the royal family was watching her. She wasn't afraid of Zhou Yurong.
"Of course I'll go. You've finally recovered, and it would be unreasonable for me not to go for your first time playing polo."
Wei Ming smiled and said, "Then the Earl of Guangning really isn't afraid of causing trouble by bringing County Princess Xiao and her concubine along."
Ji Yuxiu sighed, "Xiao Ran probably won't dare to cause trouble. There are royal family members coming tomorrow, so she wouldn't have the guts to make a scene now."
Shen Hanyu looked up; this polo match was truly lively.
"So you don't need to worry too much, even if you go, it will be within a controllable range."
Shen Hanyu was truly relieved now, but why did Zhou Yurong bring Lu Lingyue along? Wasn't he worried about being laughed at now?
Lu Lingyue is indeed very special to Zhou Yurong.
On the day of the polo match, Shen Hanyu was quite surprised to see Zhou Yurong and the other two.
A maid supported Lu Lingyue as Zhou Yurong stepped down from the carriage and gently touched her belly.
Looking at Xiao Ran next to him, Xiao Ran turned her face away and walked into the polo field first.
"This is?"
Shen Hanyu stroked her chin, recalling Lu Lingyue's purchase of drugs to create a fake pregnancy; it seemed they were now in use.
Wei Ming, hands on her hips, said, "They say that concubine is pregnant, but why bring her to such a dangerous place?"
There were many people at the polo field, and accidents could happen at any time. Although Wei Ming complained inwardly, she still asked someone to keep an eye on things.
"Be careful of Zhou Yurong's concubine. Something's definitely up if she's acting strangely. She might cause some trouble. Don't get involved with her."
Reminded by Shen Hanyu, Wei Ming also began to pay some attention to Lu Lingyue.
Lu Lingyue held Zhou Yurong's hand.
"This polo field is huge! This is my first time seeing it."
Zhou Yurong asked gently, "Are you really alright?"
"I'm newly pregnant and I want to get out and about. Besides, I've never played polo before. I'll just watch; I won't actually go on the field."
Xiao Ran scoffed, "You're carrying his first child, and you've come all the way to the polo field? Are you afraid something might go wrong?"
Lu Lingyue nestled in Zhou Yurong's arms: "Sister, I'm different from you. You're used to these things, but I've never seen them before."
She looked pitiful.
"Yue'er was just curious. Why are you so aggressive and cursing her? Xiao Ran, you'd better behave yourself."
