Chapter 655: Shu Yuan Sets Fire on Fu Qingrong
Lying on the old, damp, broken bed, the once beautiful woman no longer looked like her original self.
All the exposed skin was wrapped in gauze, and except for the wrists, there was almost no good flesh on the body.
Seeing Shu He looking at the person on the bed with a dazed look on her face, Cheng Qi immediately introduced Fu Qingrong's physical condition to her.
"The Fourth Prince's concubine suffered burns all over her body. Although she was given medicine, her condition is still very serious. It's a miracle that she survived."
Shu He took Fu Qingrong's pulse.
Not only was her burnt severely, but her internal organs were also damaged and eroded by something. Her meridians were weak and intermittent, and there was almost no chance of her survival.
"Sister, can she still survive?"
After hearing this, Shu He shook his head and withdrew his hand.
Zhang Zhirou frowned, but a trace of pity still appeared in her eyes.
Even if she was a bad person, the fact that she became like this was enough to make us imagine how much pain she had suffered before.
No matter how serious the sin is, can it be offset a little by being burned by the fire of karma?
"Ah! Living in such pain, it's better to die early, the sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qi said, "It was the prince who said that he wanted to keep her alive."
"Your Highness?" Zhang Zhirou was puzzled. "Why did Your Highness spare Fu Qingrong's life? Do you have any other questions?"
After hearing this, the first thing Shu He thought of was the dagger named "Di Ting".
At first, the deal between Baili Moqing and Baili Moyin was for the Diting dagger. But later, Baili Moqing said that the dagger's whereabouts were still unknown.
Could it be that he thought Fu Qingrong would know the whereabouts of the dagger?
"You came!"
A man's voice sounded behind him. Shu He turned around and saw Baili Moqing walking in from outside.
He gave Cheng Qi and Zhang Zhirou a look, and seeing this, the two of them immediately retreated.
After the two left, Shu He said to him, "She didn't set herself on fire, you know that, right?"
"Did you figure it out?" he asked, a little surprised, but then he felt there was nothing to be surprised about.
After all, she has always been very smart.
"When I took her pulse just now, I noticed that her wrist was the only part of her body that wasn't burned. It had obvious marks of being strangled, as if she'd been tied up with a rope."
She must have been tied up, kerosene poured on her body, and then set on fire alive, burning into this state.
The person who set the fire is very cruel.
Even though Shu He had been plotted against by Fu Qingrong, she could not do such a thing.
Baili Moqing nodded and replied, "Indeed."
After saying that, he took out a black wooden box from behind him.
Shu He looked at the size of the box with surprise in his eyes, "Is this the Di Ting dagger?"
Baili Moqing handed her the box but didn't let her open it.
"Before the rebellion, the fourth brother handed this dagger to Fu Qingrong. He originally wanted Fu Qingrong to give it to Fu Ying, so that if he failed, Fu Ying could use this dagger to let me protect Zizhan's life and status."
"However, he didn't expect that Fu Ying had never met Fu Qingrong, so the dagger was left at the Fourth Brother's house."
"Originally, Fu Qingrong wanted to come and negotiate the deal with me with this dagger herself, but unfortunately, she chose the wrong person to accompany her."
Choosing the wrong person?
Shu He sat at a wooden table with several broken corners, listening to these key words, and had some guesses in his mind.
"All the servants in the Fourth Master's mansion have been dismissed, and the staff he recruited have also gone their separate ways. But in Youxi Garden, there is one person who has stayed and has always stayed by Fu Qingrong's side."
"I think you know who it is without me telling you, right?"
Shu He remained silent, but gave him an answer in his heart.
Shu Yuanqi, her second brother.
Seeing her expression, he knew that she had guessed it.
"This dagger was given to me by Shu Yuanqi. In fact, on the night when Lao Si started the rebellion, it was Shu Yuanqi who found me and told me that Lao Si had a weapon similar to dynamite."
"If we hadn't known about this in advance, even with me here, the Chengfeng Army would have suffered a lot of losses."
"Also, the number of Lao Si's troops and the location of his hidden weapons were revealed to me by Shu Yuanqi."
"That night, the Chengfeng Army was able to quickly rush up the mountain, using the Yonghua Army's weakest points as entry points and quickly turning the tide of the battle. This was actually also due to Shu Yuanqi's contribution."
There seemed to be waves in Shu He's eyes, and his heart was full of complexity.
So, he entered the Prince of Jin's mansion at all costs and surrendered to the Prince of Jin, just to be a spy for Baili Moqing?
"I guess Zhang Zhirou didn't tell you either?"
"When the Fourth Brother's Yonghua Army attacked the palace, Shu Yuanqi actually mixed in with them and sneaked into the palace to help Zhang Zhirou resist the Yonghua Army. He only left quietly after Xi Zhu and his men arrived."
"I think he went there to protect Yi'er."
Shu He stood there in a daze, his eyes showing a bit of helplessness.
He did so much silently, without saying a word. Everyone else received the emperor's reward, but he alone was still seen as a fence-sitter, a dandy scoundrel...
Her eyes were sore, and Shu Yuanqi's handsome and stubborn face seemed to appear before her eyes.
"What about Fu Qingrong?" she asked with a trembling voice.
Even though I had some guesses in my heart, I still forced myself to deny them.
Perhaps, it was because Fu Qingrong had offended him, perhaps, it was because Fu Qingrong had bullied him, or perhaps...
In short, it's impossible that he was just venting his anger on her, so...
"It's to avenge you!"
Baili Moqing's words interrupted her inner struggle and speculation, forcing her to face reality.
"He knew that Shu Yue and Fu Qingrong had teamed up to tease you and frame you time and time again, ruining your reputation and causing you and Yi'er to suffer through all those years of torture and pain..."
He tied up Fu Qingrong, threw her in the middle of the yard, and poured kerosene on her.
He asked Fu Qingrong: "Do you remember Shu He who was fooled and framed by you and Shu Yue five years ago?!"
After asking, he ignited Fu Qingrong without even giving her a chance to speak!
Because in his heart, whether he remembered or not, it no longer mattered. Hatred would not disappear just because she remembered or not.
Watching Fu Qingrong struggling in pain in the fire, screaming and rolling around in agony, the flames in his eyes grew higher and higher, but the depths of his pupils were calm.
"The last words he said to Fu Qingrong were, 'She is my biological sister!'"
"She is my biological sister!"
These six words instantly broke down the "hatred" defense line in Shu He's heart.
Tears as big as beans suddenly welled up in my sore eyes, and I felt extremely wronged and helpless in my heart.
"Did he think I would forgive him for doing these things?!"
"I will not!"
"I gave him a chance! If he decided to give up, why did he do all this?"
"What does he want to do?"
"Could it be that he's waiting for me to take the initiative to find him and make peace?"
"Why?!"
"I will never forgive him in this life!"
"Unless he..." He dies!
Seeing her accusing Shu Yuanqi out of control and saying harsh words, Baili Moqing knew that she had softened her heart again.
He walked over, hugged her, and stroked her back lovingly.
He could understand her inner struggle and feel the contradictions in her heart.
Shu Yuanqi asked him not to tell her, but he felt that he had to.
"There was another person behind our incident that he knew about."
Shu He stopped crying, her eyes filled with astonishment.
"Where are the others?!"
