Seeing Prince Su, who always had a clear plan and calculations for everything, now showing such an expression, Li Qingluo couldn't help but smile.
Look, he was scared by himself too, right?
Duan Rongshi took over and asked: "When...and where exactly..."
"How is this possible?"
Li Qingluo spread his hands and said, "It was caused by the Jiang family."
She explained, "As soon as I knew that the Jiang family was blackmailing Li Chaojing for 500,000 taels of silver, I asked Uncle De to handle this matter."
"It took so long to replace the real one with a fake one."
"However, I just found out that this letter was taken out by the concubine, so I am also surprised to get this thing in the Jiang family."
"The prince didn't even take this thing in his own hands."
Duan Rongshi couldn't help but laugh.
"Duan Rongyin is an extremely cautious person."
"If it weren't for your people finding out the truth, it would be difficult for others to know his intricate connection with the Jiang family."
The prince is indeed hiding very deeply.
Duan Rongshi returned the letter to Li Qingluo.
He stared at her and asked meaningfully, "Now, what do you want to do with this thing?"
Li Qingluo didn't know either.
What the Jiang family is holding now is a fake letter.
Li Qingluo even deliberately left a lot of loopholes on it.
Therefore, it was impossible to convict Li Chaojing of a serious crime based solely on that letter and a mad General Li who was unable to uncover the truth of the incident.
Unless someone deliberately wants him dead.
Duan Rongshi saw that she didn't speak.
He then said, "I said he would die without a doubt because I was certain the Queen would kill him to silence him."
"Previously, the Queen tried to win over Li Chaojing in the name of Prince Yun, but in reality, she wanted Li Chaojing to join the Crown Prince's party so that he could serve the Crown Prince in the future."
"Now, both Li Chaojing and Prince Yun have become useless pieces."
"Duan Rongxuan has already fallen. If Li Chaojing suddenly wakes up and remembers everything, how could the Queen allow anyone in this world to harm the Crown Prince's reputation even a little bit?"
"The Crown Prince, but she exchanged her other son for the position of Master of the Eastern Palace."
"So, she will not leave such a danger to threaten the Crown Prince in the future."
After all, before going crazy, Li Chaojing had fallen into the Queen's game and planned to completely turn to the Queen's party.
If he knew that he wanted to force Madam Pei to death in order to protect his own future, and wanted to get Tianfeng Trading Company as soon as possible because of the threat from the Jiang family, and that these were all traps set for him by the Queen and the Prince, how could he not bite back?
Li Qingluo thought about it and presented the letter in his hand to Prince Su again.
"Your Highness, please accept His Highness's wishes regarding how this matter should be handled."
"This letter is a gift from me to Your Highness, in gratitude for helping me and my grandmother escape from our clan today!"
Duan Rongshi: "What if this king... also wants him dead?"
At night, Mrs. Pei returned home exhausted.
Li Qingluo hurried to see her.
"Grandma, how are you?"
"Luo'er made some calming soup. Would you like a bowl?"
Madam Pei took off her armor first, and then drank the calming soup.
After she sat down, she slowly told Li Qingluo, "Grandmother... your military achievements back then have ensured the safety of all the women in the Li family."
"Even if the Li family can never come back this time, these women can still save their lives."
"Tomorrow, they will all be released back to the Li Mansion."
Just as Li Qingluo had guessed, grandmother would save all the female members of the Li family.
But my grandmother looked unhappy.
Li Qingluo knew what she was upset about, and could only hold Madam Pei's hand tightly.
"Grandma, maybe things... aren't that bad?"
Mrs. Pei shook her head bitterly.
"Luo'er, with Li Kechuan's behavior, the Li family is indeed not something Emperor Yan is worried about in the future. There is no need for him to target the Li family."
"But what your father did is really a serious crime!"
"He deserved to die. Grandma shouldn't feel sad."
"It's just...it's just..."
"My grandmother abandoned him back then."
"Are we going to abandon him again now?"
"Luo'er, Grandma has realized these past two days that perhaps Grandma really should bear the greatest responsibility for your father's current condition..."
"He has never called me mother like this, and he has never relied on me like this."
"Grandma is useless. My heart is more painful than being stabbed by needles..."
"Luo'er, let me be honest. With your father in this state, I really don't want him to die."
Mrs. Pei lowered her head in shame as she spoke.
But even so, what she exchanged for her military merit today was still the safety of the lives of the women in the mansion.
Mrs. Pei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and was actually a little afraid to look into Li Qingluo's eyes.
Li Qingluo had long guessed that she would be soft-hearted.
She raised her hand and held Madam Pei's hand tightly: "Grandma, please forgive me for being unfilial."
"But this time, he really must die!"
As soon as Li Qingluo finished speaking, there was a loud thunder in the sky and lightning crackled.
Then, torrential rain rolled in from the dark sky and instantly fell into Jinling City...
