The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Originally, Li Jing had also planned to launch a surprise attack on Li Jiangui with archers, but after fighting for so long, the archers still hadn't taken their positions, so he became suspicious.

Li Jing only reacted when he saw Li Jiangui give the order and all the archers came out.

The foreign man's hand, gripping the sword, trembled slightly as he couldn't help but question Li Jing: "Didn't you say you would definitely succeed?"

Li Jing glanced at him. "When did I say that?"

The foreign man was furious; Li Jing had spoken so confidently that he had come over.

At this point, Li Jing remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome he was about to face.

Li Sheng glanced at the wound on his arm. Li Jing had been ruthless; he had tried to kill him several times.

Li Jiangui came over and glanced at Li Sheng, "You've worked hard."

Li Sheng's lips curled up slightly: "Your subject is fine."

It was just a minor injury; the best thing is that Li Jing didn't succeed.

Pei Du relaxed and then realized the pain in his body.

Shen Hanyu noticed that Pei Du's clothes were soaked with blood on his back.

"You are hurt."

Pei Du's face was slightly pale. In order to escape in time and deal with that foreign guy, even without looking, it was clear that his back injury was very serious.

The imperial physician came over and gave the injured person some basic treatment.

The people behind Li Jing dared not resist at this moment, because there were simply too many people coming.

They overwhelmed those people with an overwhelming numerical advantage, coupled with Li Jing's condition.

Li Jing stood there calmly, just like when he entered the Dali Temple.

Several people stepped forward and pressed Li Jing down. Li Jing looked at Li Jiangui, then at Li Sheng, and suddenly smiled mockingly.

Although I expected to lose, it's really frustrating that Li Sheng is still alright.

Li Jing would rather let that fool Li Jun sit on the throne as crown prince than let Li Sheng live such a comfortable life.

Seeing the burning hatred in Li Jing's eyes, Li glanced at him and then turned away.

Li Sheng's reputation hasn't been cleared yet, and now that Li Jing has lost, Jiang Fengxiao will probably reveal everything.

As for Zhao Wanfu, Li Sheng didn't want to consider him. Zhao Wanfu had already prepared to die, so it was a good opportunity to send him on his way.

This coup attempt came with great momentum, but due to a mistake at the city gate, it turned into the current situation.

Zhang Jue was brought over, and upon seeing the people, Li Jing understood that it was Shen Hanyu and Pei Du.

His intuition was right; he should have killed Shen Hanyu first.

Lee Kyung closed his eyes and was brought in front of Lee Geon-gyu.

"Keep him locked up for now, and interrogate him after we've dealt with things here."

Li Jiangui will personally interrogate him and will not give him a chance to escape.

Because the Dali Temple was broken into by thieves, it was temporarily impossible to detain people there, so they had to be moved to other places.

Upon receiving the news, Yu Qi quickly led his men there.

Shen Hanyu's heart finally settled down. It was still dark, but it felt like a long time had passed.

She helped Pei Du up; the wound had only received basic treatment and needed to be examined more closely.

"I'm fine. There's nothing else on the knife. Let's wait for the imperial physician to arrive."

The two found a place to sit down. The surroundings were noisy. Shen Hanyu felt a little emotional. She was different from others because she had memories of her previous life.

This life is completely different, so much has changed, but thankfully the outcome is good.

"You always seem preoccupied. Are you still worried about your father's body?"

Shen Hanyu nodded; that was true.

"Li Jing is probably not going to tell me. I'll go look for him myself. If I can't find him, I'll build a cenotaph at the ancestral home."

There's no other way. Given Li Jing's personality, he definitely won't reveal the whereabouts of Shen Yanzhi's body. The further they investigate, the more Shen Hanyu will see this.

Li Jiangui led a few people inside to handle the matters at the palace first.

The fire outside has been extinguished, but it burned many areas. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Most of the civilians who died were killed by the rebels.

The city gates were closed, and the people on the other side were calming the people down, telling them that the matter was over.

We cannot afford any more trouble right now; we must handle things properly both inside and outside the palace.

Shen Hanyu took Pei Du to treat his wounds. The two spent quite a bit of time on it, and when they came out again, it was already dawn.

Seeing Shen Hanyu rub her eyes, Pei Du went over and said, "Go home and rest first."

Pei Du paused for a moment, then asked, "Your house was burned down, wasn't it?"

If Pei Du hadn't reminded her, Shen Hanyu wouldn't have remembered this.

"Yes, it was burned by Li Jing's men."

She was heartbroken; it was all money, and she had gotten used to living in that house, where everything had been burned to the ground.

"Go back to my place and rest for a while."

"And what about you?" Shen Hanyu was indeed tired; she needed to rest.

"I'll stay here and look around. I'll definitely go back tonight."

Jin Chui also rushed over, saying, "Don't worry, young lady, I'll take care of the young master here."

Shen Hanyu nodded and asked Miaocui to take her back first.

After dealing with the people left behind by Li Jing, Li Jiangui waved to Zhao Wanfu and Jiang Fengxiao who had been brought over.

"Yu Qi, go and interrogate them."

Li Jiangui still needs to meet with Li Jing, so these matters will be temporarily left to Yu Qi.

Now that we have the evidence, it will be easy to clear Li Sheng's name.

Lee Kyung was brought over, and he knelt on the ground, looking up at Lee Geon-gyu.

The father and son looked at each other, and Li Jing spoke first: "What else would you like to ask, Father?"

"I have made Sheng'er the crown prince, are you so dissatisfied?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Of course, because I've never thought of myself as inferior to Li Sheng."

That's why I'm not satisfied.

Li Jiangui stood up. "I have long known your personality. You have suppressed it for so many years that I sometimes forget about the personality you have hidden."

Li Jiangui knew his own son well. He knew that Li Jing had this side to his personality, which was why he didn't give the position of crown prince to Li Jing.

Later, after Li Sheng got into trouble, Li Jiangui started to consider Li Jing.

Lee Kyung has been pretending for so many years, making everyone forget what he used to be like, but Lee Geon-kyu has never forgotten.

Li Jing was surprised that Li Jiangui still remembered Li Jiangui's attitude towards him over the years. Li Jing thought that Li Jiangui had been deceived by him.

"No matter how much time has passed, I remember what you did before. If the truth about the Lizhou incident had not been found out, I would have indeed considered handing everything over to you after my death."

However, the events in Lizhou proved that Li Sheng was innocent, and that the person who framed him was Li Jing.

Li Jing's personality, I don't know who he inherited it from, is somewhat crazy, and he's ruthless in his actions; he abandoned those 30,000 people without batting an eye.

He has a lot of courage, but he used that courage in the wrong place.

Li Jiangui didn't expect his few words to make Li Jing realize his mistakes and repent; Li Jing was beyond saving.
