The first thing Fei Wan saw when she woke up from her bedroom was Xi Ruo, who was standing by her side. Xi Ruo showed a look of joy and was about to go out to call for help, but Fei Wan held her back and shook his head.
Xiao Heng's voice came from outside the hall.
"You little slave, not only did you let an assassin in, but now you've even injured Wan'er. What crime do you deserve?"
Then, several muffled kowtows were heard, and Wang Zhangyin begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I have been preparing for so many years, and this time my negligence has led to such a disaster. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
When Wang Zhangyin mentioned the word "many years", it was obvious that Xiao Heng hesitated.
His accountability did not seem very firm.
Fei Wan patted Xi Ruo's hand and motioned her to go out.
Xi Ruo quickly understood Fei Wan's meaning and ran out in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has awakened."
When Xiao Heng heard the news, he didn't bother to punish Wang Zhangyin and turned around and walked inside.
"Wan'er, how do you feel now?"
As soon as Xiao Heng came in, he took her hand, his eyes full of concern.
Fei Wan retracted her hand, shook her head, and smiled.
"This little injury is nothing serious..."
Before she finished her words, Fei Wan felt the wound on her back and took a low breath.
Xiao Heng felt even more distressed and assured her, "I will definitely find the assassin, and I will never let anyone who hurt you off lightly."
Xiao Heng glanced towards the door and said coldly, "Come in now."
Wang Zhangyin came crawling in, and as soon as he came in, he cried and admitted his mistake.
"It's all my fault. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."
This is because he was sure that Fei Wan would be gentle in front of Xiao Heng and would not care about his mistakes, so he was so unscrupulous.
As he wished, Fei Wan softly asked, "What on earth did Master Wang do wrong?"
Wang Zhangyin lowered his head and said, "I failed to supervise the craftsmen in building the stage, which caused it to collapse and injured the queen."
Fei Wan looked puzzled. She looked at Xiao Heng, "But I was scratched by the wood fragments. If it was the craftsman's fault, the wood wouldn't be so fragile and break into pieces..."
Fei Wan murmured to himself, "But this is a strange thing. The wood is of high quality and shouldn't break so easily."
If the craftsmen were negligent during construction, then even if the wood broke, there should be large pieces left intact. Only if there is something wrong with the material of the wood would it be so fragile.
Xiao Heng had obviously just realized this problem. His face was very unhappy and he shouted harshly: "Wang Dexian!"
Wang Zhangyin was so frightened that he lay on the ground, no longer as confident as before. He explained in a trembling voice, "It rained heavily a few days ago, and I asked some palace servants to dry it with fire. Perhaps there was something wrong with the wood material there."
Xiao Heng's expression eased slightly, and then he heard the girl's voice.
"No, Ah Heng, this wood..."
Xiao Heng waited patiently for her next words, but the girl bit her lip and finally shook her head.
"I'd rather not say anything."
"Since Ah Heng is fine, I don't care about all this anymore."
Fei Wan doesn't care, but that doesn't mean Xiao Heng doesn't want to know the truth.
He asked someone to bring the purchase list. The wood selected this time was different from ordinary wood. If the material was of good quality, it would not be afraid of sun and rain.
After reading this, Xiao Heng was so angry that he crumpled the paper into a ball.
No matter how many benefits he has given to Wang Dexian over the years, he is still not satisfied and keeps interfering in these matters.
First, the assassin was allowed in, and then the stage collapsed. Each of these incidents endangered Xiao Heng himself.
Such a greedy person, Wang Dexian will betray him for money sooner or later...
Wan'er didn't tell the truth because she was afraid that what Wang Zhangyin had done would get out and let others know that corruption in the palace was so rampant.
She was thinking about him all the time...
Xiao Heng originally planned to spare Wang Dexian's life because he remembered the kindness he had shown him.
Now, not only for Fei Wan, but also for his future safety, Wang Dexian cannot be kept at any cost.
Xiao Heng cast his gaze towards Wang Zhangyin, who was shaking like a sieve on the ground. With a single word, he decided his opponent's fate: "Drag him out and beat him to death."
