Chapter 200 He's always been like this
"Let's wait and see what news comes out of the palace. I'm afraid Li Jing will still be able to escape unscathed."
Li Huaijiang now knows Li Jing very well.
The palace maid sighed. If this could plant a thorn in the Emperor's heart, it would be good for them.
When Li Jing arrived at the Imperial Study, he had already arranged everything, so he wasn't flustered.
Li Jiangui looked at him, his eyes devoid of emotion.
"Father."
Li Jing knelt down, his attitude sincere.
"What do you want to say?" Li Jiangui asked.
“Father, I know that you are disappointed in me, but please let me have my say.”
Lee Geon-kyu gestured for him to continue, as he also wanted to know what Lee Kyung was thinking and what the truth of the matter was.
"Your subject and Huai Jiang do indeed have some disagreements."
"Why?"
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Father knows that I handled the matter concerning my elder brother. Huai Jiang always felt that my elder brother was innocent, so she blamed me. But at that time, the evidence was conclusive, and Father had examined it all. Huai Jiang still didn't believe it and even held a grudge against me. Over the years, she has caused a lot of trouble for me, but I have never mentioned it."
Li Jiangui frowned. It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved by the revisiting of the old story.
What did she do?
The people behind Li Jing stepped forward and handed over the tidied items to Li Jiangui.
“At first, it was just some minor squabbles, so I didn’t say anything. I just thought she was young and didn’t understand those things. But later, she actually attacked Yu’er.”
Li Jing clenched his fists, his expression turning angry.
“This matter concerns me and her. Yu’er has always been very good to her. I never expected that she would bribe the physician to harm Yu’er.”
Lee Jiangui propped his forehead with one hand: "Are you talking about the miscarriage after the New Year?"
Li Jing gave a soft "hmm".
"I was so angry that I thought of making her suffer a little, just to teach her a lesson. But I didn't expect that the doctor's skills were so bad that he could only prescribe medicine that could kill people, which is why so much trouble has happened."
His words sounded very true, and the evidence was presented in front of him.
“That physician is currently being held here with me. If Father wishes to see him, I can have someone bring him here.”
Everything was prepared, but it all turned out to be Li Huaijiang's fault.
Lee Jiangui looked through the things in his hands.
"You're not the kind of person who acts impulsively."
"This concerns Yu'er, and I cannot remain calm. Moreover, she is my first child."
Li Jing's expression turned sorrowful; his first child was gone just like that.
Li Jiangui sighed: "Huai Jiang is indeed a bit stubborn sometimes. She's young, so don't hold a grudge against her. If this matter hadn't been discovered, she would have lost her life."
Li Jing bowed his head in agreement, it seemed that nothing serious had happened this time.
"Bring that doctor in for questioning. You can go back now."
Li Jing stood up and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Li Jiangui didn't seem to blame him, so it seemed that Li Jiangui had accepted the reason.
Li Huaijiang really suffered a loss this time.
Zhao Yu did indeed miscarry after the New Year, but it had nothing to do with Li Huaijiang. Before he left, he asked Zhao Yu to put the blame on Li Huaijiang.
Li Huaijiang's men watched Li Jing leave the palace and hurried back to the princess's residence to inform Li Huaijiang.
"They left so quickly."
Li Huaijiang wasn't too disappointed, as she had long known that Li Jing had definitely prepared a backup plan.
"Your Highness, Zhou Chengye doesn't seem to have played much of a role either."
"No rush, take your time."
Li Jing left the palace, and Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had returned safely.
"Is everything going well?"
Li Jing nodded: "Is everything arranged so that someone from the palace will come to take the physician away later?"
"It's all arranged. This person is more reliable than Zhou Chengye and will definitely stick his tongue around about Li Huaijiang. Your Highness, we can't let Li Huaijiang continue investigating, or something bad will happen sooner or later."
Zhao Yu thought that it would be best to shut Li Huaijiang up forever.
"Father is watching, so it's not a good time to make a move. We can talk about it later. Anyway, it's Li Huaijiang who's suffering losses right now."
Li Huaijiang has no idea what happened, and it will be too late to explain later.
Zhao Yu touched her belly, "This child came at the worst possible time."
Li Jing smiled and said, "It's alright, he played a very good role."
Zhao Yu looked at Li Jing's smiling face and felt a chill run down her spine. How could Li Jing still be able to smile after losing his child?
After experiencing Li Jing's true self, Zhao Yu would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid.
"The person who treated me is dead, and the body has been disposed of. I'm a bit tired, so I'm going home now."
Zhao Yu made an excuse to leave, and saw Zhao Wanfu arrive as she went out.
"Aye."
Zhao Wanfu hummed in agreement: "Is His Highness inside?"
"Here I am."
As Zhao Wanfu walked inside, Zhao Yu felt a mix of emotions.
Li Huaijiang investigated what happened in the Imperial Study. It seemed that Li Jiangui had given his permission and hadn't kept it from her.
"I caused Zhao Yu's miscarriage?" Li Huaijiang was so angry that she laughed. She didn't even know when Zhao Yu got pregnant, but the miscarriage was pinned on her.
Yu Qi, sitting opposite him, exclaimed, "Your Highness, don't be angry. The fact that the Emperor revealed this information to you means he doesn't particularly suspect you. Otherwise, why don't you go to the palace?"
Li Huaijiang understood that she had to go there. Originally, it was Li Jing who was supposed to explain, but after Li Jing went, it became her turn to prove herself.
When Li Huaijiang arrived, Empress Wang was also inside.
Empress Wang glanced at Li Huaijiang and said, "Your Majesty, I believe Huaijiang would not do such a thing."
Lee Geon-kyu did not seem to intend to punish him.
“I know all of you well, Huai Jiang. Your mother is here too. Tell us the truth, is it because of Sheng’er that you hold a grudge against the Crown Prince?”
Li Huaijiang clenched his fists. "It's been so long. Let's not talk about that for now. I didn't even know when Zhao Yu got pregnant. How could I have had time to harm her child? If Father and Mother don't believe me, I'm willing to cooperate with you to find out the truth."
Li Jiangui looked at Li Huaijiang. Li Huaijiang avoided the matter of Li Sheng, so she must still have some resentment in her heart.
Empress Wang only just realized that Li Huaijiang was still preoccupied with that matter.
"So much time has passed since the incident in Lizhou, child, don't think about it anymore." Empress Wang walked to Li Huaijiang's side and said in a low voice, "First, bow your head and apologize to your father."
How could Li Huaijiang possibly admit her mistake? If she did, it would mean that Li Sheng really did it.
"Zhao Yu's matter has nothing to do with me," Li Huaijiang said coldly.
Knowing that Li Huaijiang was stubborn, Li Jiangui stood up and asked, "Do you know what that doctor who was captured said?"
Li Huaijiang pursed her lips, "It's nothing more than saying that I had someone do it."
