Chapter 436 Blood Loss

Zhao Ya laughed angrily and told him everything she knew.

By the way, he borrowed Cheng Jiao to suppress Guo Kai and Queen Chang.

She could see that Queen Chang and Guo Kai were very afraid that Cheng Jiao would take action.

Guo Kai was a little undecided and looked at the Queen.

The queen's seductive eyes were filled with grievance and she gritted her teeth. A good situation had been ruined by this girl.

Zhao Qian was even more furious, watching the throne that was about to be in his hands, but under Zhao Ya's words, it seemed that the throne would be postponed indefinitely.

Just as he jumped out and was about to show off his abilities, he was kicked back by the Queen.

She was angry at herself for giving birth to such a thing. Didn't she see that she and Guo Kai were both afraid of Cheng Jiao? Didn't she think he wasn't dying fast enough?

Zhao Qian looked at Cheng Jiao and Zhao Ya with gritted teeth, feeling indignant.

All the officials are shrewd people, especially those who are in collusion with Guo Kai, so they naturally know what kind of person Guo Kai is.

Perhaps Cheng Jiao had some extraordinary means, which made Queen Chang and Guo Kaixin feel fearful, so they did not dare to provoke Cheng Jiao at this time.

Guo Kai said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Princess, what do you want? The succession to the throne is a matter of national importance. We cannot delay the auspicious time. If the heavens punish Zhao, we cannot afford it!"

Ya Fei knew that the opportunity had come and Cheng Jiao’s name was quite useful.

"I want to examine my brother's body myself!"

Guo Kai refused without hesitation: "Your Majesty served the country and the people during his lifetime, how can you be disturbed after your death!"

The Queen's heart was slightly moved, and she said slowly: "Ya Fei, I can agree to your request, but you can't do anything, you can only watch from a distance."

According to convention, after the king's death, he would not be buried immediately. Instead, the funeral would be stopped first, followed by a small burial and a large burial. After that, a mourning hall would be set up and the coffin would be placed on the dragon bed.

All that remains is for the new king to order the princes and ministers to handle the funeral of the late king.

The most crucial Xiaolian and Dalian are all their people. They have been secretly monitored and can be killed at any time.

All that remained was to let Zhao Qian succeed to the throne and put an end to the matter.

That is to say...

Zhao Yaxiu clenched her fists. How could she tell what the matter was with just one look? What if he was poisoned to death?

"No, I want an autopsy!"

"Asshole! I've already made such a concession, and you're still going to force me! Either you look from a distance, or you don't look at all!"

The queen stared at him with her seductive eyes, which were full of allure and temptation.

Cheng Jiao was amazed. He had thought that Zhao Ji was the least suitable to be the mother of the country, but now it seems that she is more suitable as the Queen.

Such a beauty, but in a high position, without strong support, is a curse rather than a blessing.

Zhao Ya was in a dilemma and whispered in Cheng Jiao's ear, "Can you take a look and judge the situation?"

Cheng Jiao groaned and said, "Okay."

Judging from the Queen's expression, she must have been prepared. I hope she won't make things too difficult for him, otherwise... I will have to teach her a lesson!
Guo Kai's expression was not as ugly as Zhao Ya had imagined, which gave her a bad feeling. She could only pray that Cheng Jiao would help her and be able to see the truth at a glance.

As long as her brother's death was not normal, she would be able to postpone it for a few days.

All the officials in the court were discussing this. Although it was against the rules and this was not the time for memorial service, Guo Kai and Queen Chang had no objection. They could see that there must be some problems.

Zhao Ya brought Cheng Jiao and Empress Dowager Guo Kai to the mourning hall where Zhao Yan's coffin was placed.

Others are not qualified.

To be on the safe side, Queen Chang asked Zhao Qian to sit in the court and told him not to speak, to wait and see what happened, and to notify her immediately if anything unexpected happened.

Guo Kai wanted to get close to Cheng Jiao on the way, but Cheng Jiao rejected him. He had to suppress the thought of asking for Zui Menglu. He saw that Cheng Jiao was just here to help Zhao Ya act. He was not worried that Cheng Jiao would turn his face against him.

Zhao Ya was secretly annoyed, wondering how could Zhao Yan believe these two bitches.

If the king had not been so cruel back then, having a few brothers would have been better than letting outsiders seize power.

Zhao Ya entered Zhao Yan's bedroom in annoyance, and it was filled with countless palace maids and guards.

When Empress Guo Kai and Consort Cheng Jiao approached Zhao Yan's coffin, Empress Chang sneered, "Consort Ya, hurry up, don't delay Qian'er's succession to the throne."

Zhao Ya glanced at Cheng Jiao, who nodded and let go of his perception, wanting to see what tricks Guo Kai and his wife were playing.

Queen Chang and Guo Kai looked relaxed. As long as Cheng Jiao didn't overturn the table, or Zhao Ya checked it personally, their hidden trick would not be discovered.

Zhao Ya was concerned, "Master Cheng Jiao, what do you think?"

Cheng Jiao shook his head: "Normal death."

He was telling the truth. He didn't expect Guo Kai to be so bold as to use a stand-in.

Moreover, this substitute is almost exactly like Zhao Yan. If you don't look closely, you can't see any clues.

Even Concubine Ya did not realize that the person lying in the coffin was not Zhao Yan.

Guo Kai twirled his beard and smiled complacently. Fortunately, he remembered that Zhao Yan had placed a substitute in the main palace to prevent Cheng Jiao from assassinating him.

After discussing with Queen Chang, they secretly cremated Zhao Yan, who was covered in wounds and had poison in his body.

Then he killed the stand-in by some means, disguising it as an illness attack. Everything was so perfect.

Unless Queen Chang and he testified in person, even if Zhao Yan's father came, he would not be able to recognize whether this was his eldest son.

Zhao Ya said in disbelief: "How is it possible?"

"No scars, no poisoning." Cheng Jiao said slowly, but he didn't say that the person lying inside was not Zhao Yan.

His soul power was extremely strong, so he was able to distinguish the subtle differences between the guy lying inside and Zhao Yan.

He was puzzled. Zhao Yan had already become the King of Zhao, so why did he still have a substitute? As a result, he couldn't even be buried in the ancestral tomb after his death.

Zhao Ya looked at Zhao Yan lying in the coffin unwillingly. There was nothing abnormal about him. It really looked like he had died of a sudden illness.

Is it really God's will?

……

Zhao Ya didn't know how she got out of the palace.

Cheng Jiao found a carriage and took Zhao Ya back to the inn.

It was not until they entered the inn that Zhao Ya came to her senses and looked at Cheng Jiao with a wry smile.

"I was overthinking it. My brother was already ill, so it's not surprising that he died suddenly." Thinking of selling herself to Cheng Jiao for this, Zhao Ya felt deeply at a loss, "Sir, I..."

Cheng Jiao waved his hand and said, "I understand your feelings. I can give you a few days for the sake of Xue Nu. When I have discussed with General Li Mu the final details of Qin and Zhao's attack on Yan, you must give me an explanation. Do you understand?"

Ya Fei struggled for a moment: "I know..."

She could tell that Cheng Jiao asked her to give an explanation. He was not asking her to let her go, but asking her to think it over carefully and to take the initiative to accept being with him.

When Zhao Ya thought of this, she couldn't help but feel melancholy. After all, she was the eldest princess. Selling her to Cheng Jiao like this was too...

"Sister Yafei, are you back?"

The Snow Girl came over in good spirits and greeted us warmly.

After seeing the Snow Girl, Ya Fei's depression was relieved a lot. Fortunately, she was not alone with Cheng Jiao, and it was okay to have the Snow Girl's company.
