Chapter 113 Xiao Hong's finger is broken? I want her dead!
The Crown Princess was assassinated.
The news spread throughout the capital on the very night of the incident, and martial law was imposed in the capital shortly afterwards, with Marquis Zhenbei leading his men in a search for the assassin.
But on the next day, another piece of news spread in the capital.
After the assassins failed in their attempt to kill the Crown Princess, they then attacked the former Second Prince Xiao Hong who had been under house arrest.
Two of Xiao Hong's fingers were cut off.
The finger was not taken away, but because Xiao Hong gave a "gift" to Xiao Ning at her wedding, the entire mansion was closely watched by the Jinwu Guards.
Xiao Hong shouted in the mansion for a long time, but there was no response from the Jinwu Guards until the early morning of the third day after the incident.
The person who delivered breakfast discovered that Xiao Hong had fainted behind the gate and immediately called the imperial physician.
But because the finger had been broken for too long, it could no longer be reconnected!
This news reached Xie Yao's ears early in the morning.
Two fingers?
Xie Yao lowered her eyes and looked at her left hand. She also had two injured fingers.
But because of her physical condition, the wound has healed now, leaving only shallow white scars on her fair, tender and soft fingers.
She also remembered that His Highness came back quite late yesterday. She calculated the time... the time the imperial physician estimated the finger would be severed was when His Highness was not in the palace.
…
"Get out! Get out!"
"Get out!"
“…”
Xiao Hong's left hand was bandaged, and at this moment he was walking around the main hall like a madman.
He wanted to smash things.
But after being confined for these days, most of the original things in his house were smashed, and the main hall was now very empty.
The imperial physician and servants from the palace were forced to leave the main hall.
The only sound in the whole mansion was Xiao Hong's hoarse roar. After driving everyone away, Xiao Hong's bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred, "Get out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black-clad secret guard came out and knelt on one knee.
Xiao Hong's right hand tightly grasped his left elbow, his voice full of murderous intent, "Who is it!"
"Based on the traces left last night, I found out that the man went to the Prince's Mansion. But... he circled around the Prince's Mansion and went to the Princess's Mansion."
Xiao Ning!
A fierce murderous intent flashed in Xiao Hong's eyes.
"She is taking revenge on me!" Xiao Hong never changed his self-proclaimed attitude. He was just the victim of Xiao Ning's scheme and was trapped in a shallow pool.
After Xiao Ji dies, my father will restore his status sooner or later.
Who else but him could be the crown prince?
"Who the hell is she?" Xiao Hong became angrier the more he thought about it. His chest rose and fell violently. He ordered the secret guards in a vicious voice, "I want her dead!"
"Go find that person from last time. If he wants to cooperate with me, he has to show his sincerity." Xiao Hong thinks highly of himself. "Now, it's time for him to show his sincerity!"
The secret guard agreed and was about to leave.
Then Xiao Hong said, "The commander of the Jinwu Guards who was guarding outside last night was also killed!"
The secret guard hesitated and reminded: "Your Highness, the Jinwu Guard is His Majesty's..."
Before the secret guard could finish his words, Xiao Hong kicked him hard in the chest, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I kill you if you say so!" If it weren't for the Jinwu Guard, why would the doctor come today? How could his fingers not be reattached?
He will kill the man who has the shame of having his finger cut off!
"roll!"
Xiao Hong cursed again, and the secret guard quickly disappeared.
Xiao Hong looked at the empty main hall, feeling the pain in his fingers, and angrily kicked the table leg beside him!
"ah!"
Xiao Hong cried out in pain, his face distorted.
Damn it!
Damn the table too!
…
The matter of Xiao Hong was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either.
Although he was demoted to a commoner, the emperor ordered the Jinwu Guards to guard him personally, which shows that he still felt sorry for him.
Now the injured person is only a commoner, but he is the emperor's son.
The commander of the Jinwu Guards who guarded the Second Prince's residence last night was kneeling in the Yangxin Palace at this moment, "I failed to protect him properly, Your Majesty, please punish me."
The emperor closed his eyes and ordered not to pay any attention to Xiao Hong at night. It was an order he gave personally.
But that was his son.
Indeed, there is also the blame for poor protection.
"Forty lashes." The emperor waved his hand, signaling the Jinwu Guards to withdraw, and then asked Li Dajian, "Have you found the murderer?"
Li Dajian lowered his eyelids. The result of his investigation was exactly the same as what Xiao Hong, the secret guard, had said.
"Xiao Ning?"
The emperor's tone was ambiguous, "Do you think it was her?"
Li Dajian was only responsible for making statements, so how could he dare to express his opinions? He immediately bowed his head humbly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know."
The emperor laughed angrily and looked at him, "Speak."
Li Dajian then said hesitantly: "The clues do point to the eldest princess, and when the eldest princess got married a few days ago..."
In short, Xiao Ning had enough reasons to attack Xiao Hong.
And the disaster was directed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"How is the Crown Princess?" The emperor asked a different question. Li Dajian's heart trembled, and he immediately said, "The Crown Princess is fine. Although she was a little scared, the fetus is stable."
Li Dajian's voice became lower and lower.
"I heard that she was injured? Do you know where she was injured?" the emperor asked again.
Li Dajian said, "I will ask someone to find out right away!"
When Xie Yao was attacked, she did not call the imperial physician. When the Marquis of Zhenbei and the guards from the Prince's Mansion arrived, the Crown Princess had already been wrapped in a cloak.
I knew there was some blood on the carriage, but I didn't know where the wound was.
The emperor did not stop him, his thin lips pursed into a line revealing murderous intent.
What a good princess, what a good Xie Yao.
If it really had nothing to do with her, it would be fine. But if it was really because of her...not only the evil child in her belly, but also she herself could not be kept alive!
"His Majesty."
The eunuch's voice came from outside, "Empress Li requests an audience."
Concubine Li was not specifically informed of Xiao Hong's affairs, but she still knew about it. At this moment, her vicious eyes fell on the Jinwu Guards who were beaten outside the Yangxin Palace.
She remembered it!
The door of the Yangxin Palace was opened, and the young eunuch came out, "Your Majesty, His Majesty invites you in."
Before Concubine Li even entered the room, tears were already falling from her eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please help Hong Er!"
"If the thief can cut off Hong'er's fingers this time, he will definitely kill Hong'er next time, Your Majesty..."
Concubine Li cried heartbreakingly.
The emperor sighed softly, waved to Concubine Li, and said, "I have already punished the commander of the Jinwu Guard who was on duty last night. This kind of thing will never happen again."
Concubine Li wiped her tears and wanted to cry again, but when she saw the emperor frowning, she suppressed her tears aggrievedly, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor said, "This time the thieves are so arrogant, the capital is under martial law, Pei Chen will personally catch them, and he will definitely be caught."
"Besides Hong'er, the Crown Princess was also very frightened. As the elder and now in charge of the harem, you should summon her into the palace and comfort her."
Comfort Xie Yao?
That bitch is worthy?!
"His Majesty……"
When Concubine Li was about to speak, she met the emperor's eyes that did not allow any objection, "If you don't do it, I will let Concubine Shu do it..."
Concubine Li forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
On that day, someone from the palace went to the Prince's residence to deliver a message.
Concubine Li invites the Crown Princess into the palace!
