The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 188 Lin Qiufeng's Situation

Li Qingluo, who was singled out, looked troubled: "Your Highness, I will consider it carefully."

Now that her parents have started making arrangements, if she wants to stay, she should at least say so.

Princess Yongning was fairly satisfied and was willing to consider it, which meant she still had the intention of staying.

"it is good."

After we've finished explaining this at the girls' school, we can now spread the word widely.

Princess Yongning finally felt relieved after dealing with these matters.

"We've finally stabilized."

Princess Yongning pinched the bridge of her nose, knowing she would need to go to the palace later to discuss this matter with Li Jiangui.

Li Jun is currently staying with the Empress Dowager because she doesn't want the Empress Dowager to ruin things today. Fortunately, everything went smoothly today.

After finishing her studies, Shen Hanyu rushed to Princess Li Huaijiang's residence, wanting to know how Lin Qiufeng was doing.

Wei Jianfeng greeted her at the door. He was dressed as a guard and his appearance had changed somewhat. If it weren't for his voice, Shen Hanyu wouldn't have recognized him.

"His Highness asked me to wait for you here. I will take you to see Lin Qiufeng now. Your Highness, please come later."

That means Li Huaijiang was busy with other things.

Led by Wei Jianfeng, Shen Hanyu arrived at Lin Qiufeng's room.

"What's up with him?"

As Shen Hanyu walked, she asked Wei Jianfeng questions.

Wei Jianfeng sighed: "This person seems to have gone a little crazy."

Shen Hanyu went in and saw Lin Qiufeng lying on the bed with his hands and feet bound.

“If we don’t tie him up, he will hurt himself.”

Shen Hanyu moved a little closer.

"When did it happen?"

"Yesterday, it was very sudden. Everything was fine before, but after dinner yesterday, he started acting crazy."

Last night, Li Huaijiang called a doctor to come and check on Lin Qiufeng. The doctor said that Lin Qiufeng's condition was a bit dangerous.

"He won't be able to stay conscious for long, and I'm afraid he'll be of no use to me."

Lin Qiufeng already had many old, hidden injuries, and now he's gone mad. We can only hurry and see if we can get anything else out of him.

Wei Jianfeng waited for Shen Hanyu to give the order, and Shen Hanyu's eyes changed slightly: "Summon the physician."

The doctor was brought over quickly.

"Could you let him sober up for a while first?"

The doctor nodded: "Acupuncture can keep him awake for about half an hour, but it won't be easy to cure his illness completely."

There's no time left for Shen Hanyu to patiently cure Lin Qiufeng's problem. It's been almost a year since Shen Yanzhi passed away, and there has to be some progress.

"Let's administer acupuncture."

Miao Cui prepared writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. She was determined to get something out of Lin Qiufeng today.

While she was administering acupuncture, Li Huaijiang had already finished dealing with her own affairs and came over.

Are you confident you can get anything out of him?

Shen Hanyu wasn't sure either, but she didn't know how long Lin Qiufeng could hold on, so she could only speed things up.

Lin Qiufeng slowly regained consciousness. He saw that he was tied up and knew what had happened.

Shen Hanyu came into view.

"Lin Qiufeng".

Lin Qiufeng looked over.

The doctor left, leaving only Li Huaijiang's confidant in the room.

Li Huaijiang sat to one side, also wanting to see what Lin Qiufeng would reveal.

"We already know you are a survivor of Qingmen Pass. What exactly did you see at Qingmen Pass?"

Shen Hanyu didn't know if what Shen Yanzhi found out was related to Qingmen Pass. Qi Liansheng had indeed appeared at Qingmen Pass, but he did not die there.

It's difficult to investigate things that happened so long ago; we can only ask the survivors of that incident.

Lin Qiufeng lay on the bed with a calm expression, showing no intention of continuing the conversation with Shen Hanyu.

Miao Cui stood by with paper and pen, waiting. If Lin Qiufeng was willing to write it down, it would be of great help to them.

Li Huaijiang tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. Lin Qiufeng was always unyielding, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.

"So many people died at Qingmen Pass. If you saw anything, you would know that the mastermind is someone else, and that person is still alive and well. Are you afraid that person will find you?"

Lin Qiufeng's eyes flickered, as if he was touched by what Shen Hanyu had said.

Li Huaijiang said slowly, "Why not use torture? I've been providing you with good food and drink for so long, I'm running out of patience."

Shen Hanyu and Li Huaijiang exchanged a glance and understood her intention.

Upon hearing the start of the torture, Shen Hanyu noticed that Lin Qiufeng's body trembled, showing obvious fear.

If you know fear, then you are not without weaknesses.

"Lin Qiufeng, as long as you are willing to speak, His Highness will protect you. You should have felt how safe it is here these days while you were staying at the Princess's residence."

Lin Qiufeng slowly sat up, and Miao Cui's eyes lit up as she handed him paper and pen.

Seeing the paper and pen offered to him, Lin Qiufeng still chose to pick them up.

His gaze fell on Li Huaijiang. If Li Huaijiang could protect Wei Jianfeng, she could naturally also protect Lin Qiufeng.

However, given Lin Qiufeng's physical condition, even Hua Tuo couldn't save him if he were alive. Li Huaijiang could only keep him alive for the time being.

Lin Qiufeng started writing, and Shen Hanyu sat down to wait. This time, the information Lin Qiufeng provided would definitely be able to connect everything that Shen Yanzhi had found.

Lin Qiufeng's hand trembled slightly, but the words he wrote were still clear.

He wrote very slowly, as if he was carefully considering every stroke and recalling every word. Shen Hanyu and Li Huaijiang waited quietly, the atmosphere in the room heavy and tense.

Finally, Lin Qiufeng put down his pen and handed the paper filled with writing to Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu took the paper and quickly scanned it, her brows gradually furrowing.

"Qingmen Pass... there really is a problem," Shen Hanyu said in a low voice, her tone tinged with shock.

Lin Qiufeng raised his hand and pointed to three words.

Jiang Fengxiao.

"Who is Jiang Fengxiao?" Shen Hanyu asked directly. She remembered that on those few papers Shen Yanzhi had written, the name seemed to have been split into two parts.

Li Huaijiang jumped to his feet: "Jiang Fengxiao?!"

Judging from Li Huaijiang's expression, she definitely knows him.

"That's Zhao Xiang's godson. Few people know his identity, and Zhao Xiang has never publicly acknowledged him. Indeed, Jiang Fengxiao hasn't shown his face in Chang'an for several years."

Shen Hanyu frowned, meaning that it was still unknown whether Jiang Fengxiao was dead or alive.

According to what was written on the paper, when Lin Qiufeng was buried in the mass grave at Qingmen Pass, the last person he saw was Jiang Fengxiao. Jiang Fengxiao led his men to bury all the people at Qingmen Pass there, covering up all their crimes.

Li Huaijiang murmured the name, "Zhao Wanfu, Zhao Yu. Their family is related to Li Jing by marriage. I had suspected it before, but I never had any evidence. Moreover, Zhao Wanfu has a high reputation in the court."

After the incident at the girls' school, Zhao Wanfu's reputation improved even further.

In this light, Zhao Wanfu and Li Jing are truly the same kind of people, equally hypocritical, and they pretend to be so good at it.

This involves Prime Minister Zhao again. Shen Hanyu took a deep breath. No wonder Father died. The investigation has led to Jiang Fengxiao. The Crown Prince and the Zhao family will definitely not let him live.
