Thinking of those days, Qin Shuhuai closed his eyes and his whole body was shaking slightly.

Jiang Chun noticed Qin Shuhuai's discomfort and hurriedly said, "Sir!"

Startled by Jiang Chun, Qin Shuhuai slowly opened his eyes and exhaled: "It's okay."

After saying that, Qin Shuhuai walked out and said calmly: "Find me a few people who are suitable for the positions of Yangzhou Governor and Shuntian Prefecture Governor."

After Qin Shuhuai left, Qin Peng sat in the room, thinking about what Qin Shuhuai had just said.

Of course, she refused to believe what Qin Shuhuai said. But she had a habit of double-checking even if she was sure of something. She recalled the scene at that time. After a while, Bai Zhi came in. Qin Peng raised her head and listened to Bai Zhi saying, "Qin Shuhuai asked someone to tell you that when you gave him the evidence, he would release Lu You."

"Have someone tell him." Qin Peng didn't care about this particularly. Since the two of them had agreed, Qin Shuhuai would not do too much to Lu You. Qin Peng would still give him this trust. So she propped up her chin and said slowly: "Wait until my people take office as the governor of Yangzhou and the prefect of Shuntian, and then I will pass the evidence to him. If Lu You lose a hair during this period, don't blame me for being rude."

Bai Zhi nodded and knelt beside Qin Peng: "What did he say?"

Qin Peng was waiting for Bai Zhi to ask her. She raised her head with sarcasm in her eyes: "He said that Zhao Peng was killed by the Jiang family, so he killed the Jiang family."

After hearing this, Bai Zhi chuckled, her voice full of sarcasm and indifference.

"He really is going backwards as he gets older."

"Oh?" Qin Peng looked up at Bai Zhi: "Why do you say that, Miss Bai?"

"You need a thousand reasons to kill someone, but you don't even have this little courage. Isn't Qin Shuhuai going backwards as he gets older?"

"Miss Bai," Qin Peng said with confusion in his eyes, "I don't understand why you insist that Qin Shuhuai is the murderer? As far as I know, you did not follow Zhao Peng to Qi State that year."

Qin Peng was actually very confused. Zhao Peng always said that she saw Qin Shuhuai kill Qin Peng with her own eyes, but in fact, Bai Zhi was married to Xia Houyan, so she let Bai Zhi stay. Logically, Bai Zhi should not have seen it. Moreover, Bai Zhi not only saw it, but also swore that Qin Shuhuai did it in order to marry Jiang Yi.

Baizhi is a person who believes in evidence. She would never make such speculation without any reason.

"I did stay in Beiyan back then," Bai Zhi nodded, with regret in her eyes. "I was newly married at that time, and the princess wanted me to have my own life, so she let me stay in Beiyan and be my wife. I was reluctant to leave my husband, so I let the princess go alone. Then one day, the Fifth Prince, Emperor Cang, came to me and told me that the princess was in trouble and asked me to save her."

"Fifth Prince... Zhao Yu?"

Qin Peng was a little surprised. Did Zhao Yu know in advance that Qin Shuhuai was going to kill him?

"Yes." Bai Zhi nodded and continued, "The Fifth Prince gave me some help, and I rushed there day and night, but I only had time to see the princess for the last time. When I rushed in, Qin Shuhuai had just finished feeding the prince poison with his own hands. His hands were full of scratches, which showed that the princess was in great pain at the time and had struggled hard..."

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi's eyes became moist.

Qin Peng did not speak. Bai Zhi's description matched her memory. Bai Zhi took a deep breath and continued, "I went to grab the princess's body, but Qin Shuhuai held it tightly and refused to let go. I went in a hurry and only brought a few people with me. I was no match for Qin Shuhuai's guards, so I left in a hurry. I was chased by their people all the way into the dense forest, and I couldn't get out of the forest to recover. When I came out, it turned out that the Fifth Prince had found Qin Shuhuai. He wanted to take the princess's body back, but Qin Shuhuai refused to agree, insisting that this was his wife and no one could take her away."

Bai Zhi snorted coldly as she spoke: "He killed someone with his own hands, and then pretended to be affectionate and refused to hand over the body. What else could this be other than covering up his evil deeds?"

"I heard that he had been guarding the princess's body for seven days. Then the Jiang family came to visit him. I don't know what they said to him. Then the Fifth Prince came to visit him again. I don't know what they said again. He then sent the body back to Qi. The coroner performed an autopsy on the princess. Because the Fifth Prince couldn't bear to destroy the princess's body, he could only verify based on the physical features that the princess had indeed died of poisoning, but he didn't know what kind of poison it was."

"But that's not important." Qin Peng sighed: "You have already seen the murderer."

"Yes." Bai Zhi sneered, with murderous intent in her eyes: "It doesn't matter what kind of poison Qin Shuhuai used to kill someone. But when I returned, the princess had been buried and Qin Shuhuai had already rushed to Qi. The Fifth Prince listened to me and locked himself up for a night, and then he came out with a sword in his hand, wanting to find Qin Shuhuai."

"At this time, I suddenly realized that His Highness could not look for Qin Shuhuai. Since Qin Shuhuai has returned to Qi, no matter how Qi views him or what his status in Qi is, he is still a royal relative of Qi. His Highness the Fifth Prince is in the process of becoming the heir, and there can be no mistakes. The princess has devoted her life to His Highness the Fifth Prince, and I cannot let His Highness be in danger if the princess dies."

After hearing Bai Zhi's words, Qin Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

She always knew that her younger brother always cared about her. What she was most worried about back then was what would happen to Zhao Yu after her death.

Will I be sad, will I be sorrowful, will I cry bitterly?

Whenever Qin Peng thought about the child's mood, he felt sad.

After being reborn three times, she began to let go of things. Zhao Yu had also grown up. When she heard that he had become the emperor of Northern Yan and was living a good life, she felt relieved and no longer worried about him.

Qin Peng nodded and praised Bai Zhi: "You did the right thing."

"Your Highness can't do anything, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything. I went back to say goodbye to my husband, and then brought people and money to Beiyan. Not long after I arrived in Beiyan, I heard that Qin Shuhuai had proposed marriage to the Jiang family. So I kept ambushing around Qin Shuhuai, trying to find out what happened that year."

"So I came to the Jiang family. At that time, Jiang Yi, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was recruiting soldiers and horses. She did it secretly and few people knew about it. I disguised myself as her subordinate and carried out tasks for her. She seemed to be in opposition to Qin Shuhuai, and the entire organization revolved around how to assassinate Qin Shuhuai. I was very curious why she was like this, but you also know," Bai Zhi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You know Lu You, so you should know that Jiang Yi did not take the initiative to marry Qin Shuhuai. She was also forced. Qin Shuhuai came to ask for marriage as a hostage. His father had long been planning to rebel. He took a fancy to Qin Shuhuai's identity and forced Jiang Yi to marry Qin Shuhuai. Jiang Yi may be dissatisfied with this marriage, or she may want to stop her father from rebelling. In short, she wants to kill Qin Shuhuai."

Qin Peng, who had been Jiang Yi for three years, felt complicated after hearing these words.

She suddenly felt that Bai Zhi was a little unreliable.

In fact, when she was in Jiang Yi's body, her mind was a little unclear and she had almost no memory of Jiang Yi, which was why she pretended to be sick and refused to return to Jiang Mansion. However, she still remembered what Jiang Yi's father and brother said before she got married. From what they said, Jiang Yi did not seem to be dissatisfied with this marriage, but was very active and positive.

So Qin Peng could only ask: "Who told you these things?"

"The person who knows Jiang Yi best in the Anbu is Lu You."

Qin Peng: “…”

I believed your lies.

Qin Peng suppressed the urge to curse and continued, "Then how did you know from Jiang Yi that Qin Shuhuai and the Jiang family had teamed up to kill Zhao Peng?"

Bai Zhi said seriously: "Jiang Yi said it herself."

Qin Peng: “…”
