Chapter 92: Peers_3

On his way to Yanjing City, Xue Zhao fell victim to bandits and his body was discarded into the river. That's what people said at the time, so when Shen Yurong saw Xue Zhao for the last time, his features were beyond recognition. Had it not been for the birthmark on Xue Zhao's body, Jiang Li would have hardly believed that the spirited young man had turned into such an icy corpse.

Before his death, he had endured inhuman torture, and the knife wounds on his body still make Jiang Li shudder at the thought. At that time, she had no doubts, until just before dying, when she learned that everything was thanks to Princess Yongning. Therefore, those knife wounds were not the work of bandits, but of Princess Yongning's men.

She had thought that finding an official would help her, but unexpectedly, she had walked into another trap. Jiang Li couldn't imagine the despair and anger in Xue Zhao's heart at his last moments.
