Chapter 143: Destroy everything she was proud of
"Yawn!" The cold air from the air conditioner blew on Xu Zhao, making him so cold that he couldn't help but sneeze.
She closed the window again, changed out of her props team anchor's outfit, and went into the bathroom to take a hot bath.
In the bathroom, her figure was looming in the misty water vapor. She was immersed in the warm water, her eyes slightly closed, the expression on her face was relaxed and satisfied.
When people relax, their thoughts become more active.
Before the incident, the assassin seemed to have mentioned Prince Anding and the young lady.
Then the young lady he mentioned should be the daughter of some powerful person. She wanted to kill me because she had a crush on Chen Yu?
However, this young lady from an official family is so arrogant that she even dared to take action in the temple and is not afraid of punishment from God!
It's outrageous. It's outrageous to open the door. It's outrageous to the extreme!
Isn’t this a routine only found in old novels?
Are these ancient ladies all love-brained?
This young lady from an official family is not a good person as she disregards other people's lives and kills them at will. And her father, who is a powerful official, is probably also a corrupt official. This family should be confiscated and beheaded to prevent them from greedily taking advantage of the people and exploiting them.
The most infuriating thing is that she wasted her chance to travel through time, and she doesn’t know when the next time she will be able to travel through time will be!
Thinking that she and Chen Yu hadn't even spent a proper New Year together, Xu Zhao stamped her feet in anger.
I'm so angry!
Shen Yu was also angry. He followed Shen Lingge all the way, looking for Xu Zhao's trace.
Because Xu Zhao was in a panic along the way, and in order to lure the assassin away, she deliberately left clear footprints on the ground.
This made it easy for the assassins following Xu Zhao to find her trail, and also allowed Shen Yu and the others to discover the direction of her escape immediately.
It’s a pity that Chen Yu and the others arrived a step too late.
The two men hid in the dark and saw several assassins in black standing on the edge of the cliff. It seemed that these people were the ones chasing them.
Shen Lingge saw the assassin's actions and there was no sign of Xu Zhao on the cliff, so he was afraid that she had been killed.
Shen Lingge, whose eyes turned red with anger, wanted to rush forward and kill all of them at this moment, even though he was unarmed now.
Shen Yu stopped him to avoid alerting the enemy.
“Uncle, why are you stopping me? Don’t you want to avenge Sister Zhaozhao?” Shen Lingge clenched his fists, as if he was ready to rush forward and fight at any time.
"I want it more than anyone else!" Veins popped out on the back of Shen Yu's hand as he pulled Shen Lingge's hand. His face was filled with anger, his eyes were like cold knives, and his voice was filled with the breath of a storm. "I'm afraid Zhaoxi has returned to her own world at this moment, but I will not let go of any of those who hurt her, and those behind her!"
With an arrow piercing her heart and falling off a cliff, even a great immortal might not be able to save her. The leading assassin walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. It was bottomless and there was no trace of the woman between the steep cliffs. It seemed that she had indeed fallen off the cliff.
"Mission accomplished, retreat, go back and report to the young lady."
The group of five put away their weapons and left quickly.
"Let's follow them." Shen Yu had good hearing and naturally heard the young lady mentioned by the assassin, "They are going to meet the person behind the scenes."
Shen Lingge immediately followed, furious, "I want to see who wants to harm Sister Zhaozhao!"
After the five assassins came down the mountain, they went their separate ways. Four of them took a shortcut out of the temple, while the leader looked around all the way and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he entered the wing of Baoguo Temple prepared for female pilgrims.
"Uncle, it shouldn't be the Imperial Concubine," Shen Lingge said first, standing at the door of the female guest room area.
Chen Yu's eyes turned cold, and he said, "I know."
Knowing that Qinghe and Chaoxi have a good relationship, it is impossible for the imperial concubine to kill Qinghe in front of her.
What's more, if the imperial concubine wanted to kill someone, the killers she sent would only be secret guards or death squads.
After confirming that the emperor's uncle did not suspect the imperial concubine, Shen Lingge breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up again, the assassin leader quickly entered a wing room, "Let's catch up."
After determining which wing the assassin entered, Shen Yu calmly pulled Shen Lingge back to their own wing.
The first thing he did after returning to the room was to send someone to find out who lived there. He also ordered the secret guards to capture all the assassins and torture them severely to get a confession.
The secret guard moved quickly and came back to report in a moment, "Master, the person living in that wing is Su Luoluo, the second daughter of the Minister of Rites, and also the younger sister of the concubine in the palace."
Su Luoluo?
The two had just returned to the imperial city, a name that Shen Yu and Shen Lingge had never heard of.
"Why would she send someone to kill Chaoxi?" Chen Yu was puzzled as these two people had nothing to do with each other.
"Maybe it's because of the prince," the secret guard lowered his head and told what he had found out, "I heard that Miss Su II saw the prince on the day he returned from his expedition and fell in love with him at first sight. She vowed that she would not marry anyone else but you."
The secret guard's voice was neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for both of them to hear.
No wonder, Shen Lingge looked at the uncle in surprise, "No wonder she knew it was Sister Zhao Zhao, maybe it was because she saw the uncle and Sister Zhao Zhao being intimate at the New Year's Eve banquet that she had evil thoughts."
"Uncle, those assassins have been captured now. If they are tortured severely, they will reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. When the time comes, we will report the evidence of Miss Su Er's crime to the emperor. I will make sure that the emperor punishes her and avenge Sister Zhao Zhao."
After saying that, Shen Lingge slammed the table and stood up, ready to do it himself. Before he walked out of the door of the wing room, he was stopped by Shen Yu, "Qinghe, don't be impulsive!"
The secret guard standing near the door reached out and stopped Shen Lingge.
Shen Lingge turned back with anger, not angry at Shen Yu, but said in a bad tone: “Uncle Huang, why are you stopping me!”
"The Minister of Rites is a second-rank official. If there is no substantial evidence, His Majesty will not touch his daughter for an ordinary citizen. Moreover, Chaoxi has no body, so we cannot prove that she is dead."
Without a body, there is no way to know whether the person is dead or not, so there is no point in reporting to the police.
If you meet a kind-hearted constable, he may help to search at the bottom of the cliff. If you meet an irresponsible one, I am afraid that the result will be a hasty fall off the cliff.
He added: "Besides, the words of a few assassins cannot be taken seriously. They can get away with it immediately by just saying that someone can be wrongly accused, so there must be crucial evidence."
After Shen Yu's analysis, Shen Lingge realized that he was a little emotional and too rash this time.
"So what should we do?"
"Since you have bullied Chaoxi, you must be prepared for my revenge." Chen Yu glanced at the secret guard, who immediately understood what he meant and bowed and clasped his fists, "Please give your orders, Your Majesty."
"Go and investigate whether the Minister of Rites has committed any corruption or bribery." Since Su Luoluo used her family background to do evil, he would destroy all the things she was proud of!
