Yu Wan'er obediently remained silent, and Qiu Yun led her back to her palace.
Yu Jingchen is going to investigate this matter thoroughly today. It has just been confirmed that the horse was given a special fragrance that excites cats. When Yu Wan'er brought the cat over today, she smelled the scent on the horse, which is why the horse was startled.
"Where is the horse watcher? Come out," Yu Jingchen asked again.
"This servant is here," said a young eunuch.
"What do you mean by 'the horse is in trouble'?" Yu Jingchen looked at his hands.
"This servant is innocent! This servant doesn't know what happened! This servant has been taking care of this horse all day, and I really don't know why this happened. Please, Your Majesty, spare my life! Please, Your Majesty, spare my life!" The little eunuch was also innocently implicated, and he didn't know why the horse was in this state either.
"Are you trying to shirk responsibility with just a 'I don't know'? You were in charge of looking after the horses, and now that there's a problem, it's naturally your responsibility." Yu Jingchen's tone was somewhat nonchalant.
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me! This servant, this servant remembers, Consort Jing came by today, and only Consort Jing approached this horse today!" The little eunuch suddenly remembered.
Yu Yan was startled when she heard that she had been implicated: "Your Majesty! I am innocent! I just wanted to choose a horse today and happened to be there. I absolutely did not use that drug. I beg Your Majesty to investigate!" Yu Yan panicked.
"Your Majesty, two more suspicious individuals were discovered in the hunting grounds today," Xinglai reported.
"Bring her up." Yu Jingchen seemed unusually calm tonight, but Xing Lai knew that the calmer His Majesty was, the more serious the consequences would be. Consort Shu had almost gotten into trouble today; how could His Majesty let her off so easily?
Two men dressed in black were quickly brought in. Although they were called men dressed in black, they didn't look like assassins at all...
"Who are you? Why are you in the hunting grounds?" Xinglai asked. The people below were trembling like leaves, but they refused to speak.
"Let's use torture. Bring me the daggers. Today we'll play a game and see how many daggers can be stuck in your body before you die." Yu Jingchen propped his head up with one hand, as if some good show was about to begin.
"Let's use the left hand for the first dagger." Yu Jingchen looked down, and before he could finish speaking, someone thrust a dagger into the left hand of one of the men in black. The dagger pierced through the entire palm, stuck into the ground, and even spun around.
"Ah!" A scream pierced the sky, startling Nan Zhiyun, who had just arrived, and she froze on the spot.
Noticing the commotion, Yu Jingchen turned around and saw Nan Zhiyun approaching.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun felt a little guilty after being looked at by Yu Jingchen.
"Why did you come here?" Yu Jingchen's tone wasn't very friendly. Nan Zhiyun stood there, at a loss, not daring to go forward, but also not wanting to go back.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Did you take your medicine? Are you all better?" Yu Jingchen's tone was unfriendly.
"It hurts!" Nan Zhiyun looked pitiful, standing there as if she had been wronged. Yu Jingchen couldn't stand it; it seemed this girl wasn't planning on going back.
"Come here," Yu Jingchen relented.
Nan Zhiyun hesitated for a long time before walking towards Yu Jingchen, but she didn't dare to go any further than she had just reached his side.
Yu Jingchen looked at her, but Nan Zhiyun kept her head down. So this girl actually knows fear?
