After writing a flawless confession, Yu Qizhe took it to Wu Yi and asked him to sign it. Wu Yi looked at the confession and knew that as long as he signed it, there would be no room for maneuver.

"Forget it. I, Wu, accept my fate." Wu Yi made up his mind and signed on the paper. "Please tell the elder that I, Wu Yi, have worked hard with him for so many years. When I am gone, please protect my family."

He has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple for several days. This place is not an iron cage. If the elder could save him, he would not have gone so long without sending anyone to the Dali Temple to deliver a message to him.

Although Wu Yi is not a shrewd person, he has been an official for decades and how could he not think of his own fate? In the past, they were all connected by the interests of the people, but now the fire of the eldest princess's orphan is about to burn Shen Tian himself. If he does not take all the responsibility, then when Shen Tian decides to silence him, he will probably die suddenly in the Zhaoyu of the Dali Temple.

Wu Yi knew very well that he was just a scapegoat. The person who exposed Su He probably wanted to target Shen Tian. Although he had been working with Shen Tian all these years, he never made enemies with anyone in the officialdom and was not worthy of such calculations by the people behind him.

But it's hard to say. Concubine Xue fell out of favor and was imprisoned in Changle Palace. Someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to reduce the power of the Shen Party, so it is very likely that they were plotting against him.

Wu Yi returned the complaint to Yu Qizhe, who took it, kept the confession, and ordered the jailer to untie Wu Yi from the rack and take him back to the cell for custody.

The weather was bad today. When Yu Qizhe left the Dali Temple, a cold wind was blowing outside. He wrapped his cloak tightly and got on the carriage. The driver was Liuzi. Yu Qizhe was busy, so he asked him to go back to Wanfu Bridge today.

Sitting in the carriage, Yu Qizhe asked outside, "Is everything alright in the mansion?"

Liuzi knew that he was asking about the Madam, so he replied, "Everything is fine in the mansion. Miss Liu Da and Miss Er are both in our mansion. I heard from Wei San that the Madam asked the two young ladies to stay in the mansion for a few days. I met the Madam, and she was very worried about you. She kept asking if you were used to living and eating in the Dali Temple, and whether you wanted Sister Jianjia to bring you some food from the mansion every day. The Madam also asked me to bring you some more clothes, saying that the weather might change in the next few days, so you should be careful not to catch a cold."

The gloom on Yu Qizhe's face that he had brought from Zhaoyu disappeared. As he listened to Liuzi's words, the corners of his lips, which had been somewhat cold, relaxed, and his expression showed a more relaxed smile. He subconsciously rubbed the mutton-fat jade around his waist with his fingertips, and he really missed Yu Jiao in his heart.

Yu Qizhe narrowed his eyes and calculated the days. The funeral of the Cui family should have been completed. It was no surprise why Jiaojiao let the Liu sisters stay at her house for a while.

His Jiaojiao has always been a person who doesn't say anything, but is always considerate in everything. She must be worried that her elder sister would be too heartbroken, so she found an excuse to keep him.

Yu Qizhe was thinking about Yu Jiao and didn't realize that time had passed and he was already outside the palace gate.

When he entered the palace, Shen Tian came out of the palace. Yu Qizhe paused and bowed slightly: "Lord."

Shen Tian looked unhappy and a little tired. He nodded.

As they passed each other, Yu Qizhe whispered, "Wu Yi confessed. He asked me to tell you that he has confessed his crime. He only asks you to take care of his family for the sake of our friendship over the years."

Shen Tian frowned, stopped, and stared at Yu Qizhe with sharp eyes, "What did you say to Wu Yi?" Shen Tian knew Wu Yi. That man had followed him for so many years and always asked him for advice on everything. He was never a person who could make decisions on his own.
