Chapter 170 Jiang Yao is not from Zhao
"You think I'm afraid of you."
Before Zhao Huang could say anything, he felt as if his throat was being strangled and he sat on the stool, unable to move.
He looked at Su Qianji in horror, his face flushed red.
"I remember I told you that if you didn't want Zhao Jie to die in an ugly way, you should keep her away from Jiang Yao. But you took the initiative to send Zhao Jie to Jiang Yao."
Just because he doesn't ask about something doesn't mean he doesn't know. The reason why Zhao Jie appeared in the Taifu Mansion was Zhao Huang's idea.
This is blatantly turning a deaf ear to his words.
"Father."
Zhao Ce screamed in shock and ran to Su Qianji, looking at him pleadingly: "Qianji, please don't hurt my father."
Su Qianji lowered his eyes, and Zhao Huang was able to breathe.
"Ahem."
"Father, are you okay?"
Zhao Huang waved his hand and looked at the standing man sinisterly: "Su Qianji, if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will risk everything to go to the Yutian Kingdom and impeach you to your Holy Lord?"
"Oh? You want to go to Yutian Kingdom and complain about me?"
"Qianji, Father, please stop arguing."
Su Qianji looked at Zhao Ce and asked, "Where is Jiang Yao?"
"As you requested, he has been imprisoned in the Sky Prison."
Su Qianji couldn't help but frown. He didn't know what the heavenly punishment would be. In a mortal world like Zhao State, he could only think of mortal ways to replace the heavenly punishment with imprisonment, hoping to deceive the heavens and let Jiang Yao spend this month safely.
"Qian Ji, Jiang Yao killed my sister. Are you planning to just let this matter go?"
"What? You still want me to explain?" Su Qianji's voice suddenly turned cold: "Jiang Yao almost lost control and hurt himself. Do you want to settle the score?"
"Jiang Yao is still alive, but my sister is already..."
"Jiang Yao is alive because of me." Su Qianji looked at Zhao Ce with compassion in his eyes: "Zhao Ce, your imperial aura is dissipating bit by bit."
The State of Zhao changed a lot because of Jiang Yao's arrival. For example, the fate of the Anan tribe was supposed to disappear, but by chance it was able to survive for hundreds of years.
There is also the Zhao family. When Zhao Jie drugged Jiang Yao, he forced himself not to deal with Zhao Jie.
Because of Zhao Jie's existence, the State of Zhao will suffer a great disaster after he leaves.
It was all Zhao Huang's fault, and Zhao Jie would bring down divine punishment on him.
But Jiang Yao killed Zhao Jie, which indirectly saved the State of Zhao.
But it is not so easy to avoid heaven's punishment. Zhao Huang dodged it, but the heaven's punishment would probably fall on Zhao Ce.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Huang panicked. "Didn't you say that Ce'er has the potential to be emperor? That Zhao will face a disaster and will be saved because of Ce'er, because of the imperial aura within him? Now you're saying, 'dissipate?'"
Su Qianji closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before looking at them with a deep gaze. "Do you think I, Yutian, have a responsibility to protect you? You are wrong. Yutian doesn't care about your life or death. It is because I cannot bear to see the vicissitudes of Zhao State fall, so I have decided to come here for a hundred years to consolidate your national destiny and leave this letter to ensure your long-term survival."
"Zhao Huang, I have pity for you, not responsibility."
"Qianji." Zhao Ce shouted absentmindedly, "What do you mean by saying that the imperial aura in me is dissipating?"
Su Qianji stood with his hands behind his back, looking outside. "Jiang Yao is not from Zhao. Her coming here is God's will, God's will for the well-being of your Zhao State. I will protect Jiang Yao, but your intention to punish Jiang Yao is against God's will. Whether Zhao State can continue to move forward will no longer be decided by me after I leave."
He couldn't predict Jiang Yao's future, but because of Jiang Yao's arrival, the fate of everyone who came into contact with her changed, especially the State of Zhao. Its fortune was constantly changing, and the disasters that would occur at certain moments in the future changed their direction because of some insignificant actions of Jiang Yao.
Su Qianji could not calculate Jiang Yao's fate, but he could calculate that Zhao State had two futures before and after Jiang Yao appeared, so he also understood the meaning of Jiang Yao's existence.
After the man finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
"What do you mean Jiang Yao isn't from Zhao?" Zhao Ce was shocked. "What does welfare mean? And what about my imperial aura?"
Zhao Huang sat down in despair, staring at Zhao Ce in a daze.
"Father, why are you looking at me like this?"
"I'm thinking about what Master Su meant by this. Ce'er, do you hate Jiang Yao?"
Zhao Ce's eyes darkened. "Hate! She killed Jie'er. Of course I hate her. Doesn't your Majesty hate her too?"
Zhao Huang did not respond. He could not say that he hated her, but he was angry. However, he had confirmed Zhao Jie's fate with Su Qianji many times. Zhao Jie had an unfortunate fate, which was a fact and could not be changed.
So actually, when Zhao Jie died, he understood a little bit in his heart, but he was just angry that Jiang Yao killed Zhao Jie.
"But Ce'er, you shouldn't hate."
"Father?" Zhao Ce couldn't believe what he heard.
"You shouldn't hate. You are the future emperor of Zhao. You should love all people in the world and treat all people well. You shouldn't hold hatred against just one person."
"Father, you know, Jiang Yao killed Jie'er, but she doesn't feel guilty at all. She even says she doesn't regret it." Zhao Ce lost his voice. "She's not even willing to give me an explanation. Why? I've been so good to her. Every time Jie'er has given her trouble, I've always stood by her. Why would she do this to me? I don't understand."
Zhao Huang was frightened and looked at Zhao Ce for a long time without saying anything.
"Father, shouldn't we hate a woman like Jiang Yao?"
"Cer, do you hate Jiang Yao for killing Jie'er, or do you hate Jiang Yao for not caring about you, not letting Jie'er go just because you're her brother, and not giving you an explanation just because you're Zhao Ce?"
The blood color in Zhao Ce's eyes gradually faded, and his eyes were a little dazed: "Son."
"Cer, you like Jiang Yao, right?"
"No." He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't deceive his heart as soon as he opened his mouth. Ever since he came back from the Anan tribe, he had been looking forward to asking Zhao Huang for this marriage after Su Qianji left.
"Father, I like her."
Zhao Ce admitted it and laughed at himself: "But if she doesn't like me, she won't belong to me."
When he thought about what Jiang Yao had just admitted, he knew that if he couldn't get Jiang Yao's heart, he would never be able to get her body.
"Jiang Yao is not from Zhao." Zhao Huang suddenly repeated this sentence: "Cer, Jiang Yao has become completely different since that incident. And what happened today? Someone came to tell me that Jiang Yao is a witch. Her face changes, becoming a different look, and there is even a little red between her eyebrows."
"Could it be that Jiang Yao is really not from Zhao?"
"But she's Jiang Ao's granddaughter, so how could she not be from Zhao? If she's not from Zhao, then she certainly can't be from Yutian. So where is she from?"
Neither the father nor the son could come up with an answer.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Huang said softly, "Could it be that Jiang Yao is really, as Master Su said, a blessing from heaven to the State of Zhao?"
