Chapter 88 - II
Fortunately, fortunately, someone came to save Ning Yongyuan, and it was the third and fourth princes.
A casual listen revealed that the teams of the third and fourth princes were also under attack. And Jing Xingzhi was in the team of the third and fourth princes.
Thinking of the two hunters’ clear understanding of the route and the secret cooperation of the maidservant, Ning Yongyuan was frightened.
He guessed that the target of the two hunters might not be him at all. He was just a fluke; the real purpose was the third and fourth princes.
Otherwise, the people who rushed out to help would not appear so embarrassed. Except for the successful sneak attack, he was not injured again.
But the other party’s goal was the third and fourth princes, so why did his good mother cooperate?
Therefore, with Wu Shuangxi’s hostility, he knew that the target would not be the third prince or the fourth prince, but that unlucky guy – Jing Xingzhi!
Ning Yongyuan couldn’t help but compare in his mind, which one was unluckier, himself or Jing Xingzhi?
His mother, who raised him from childhood, was so cruel that even Jing Xingzhi himself might not believe it.
“Tsk—” Ning Yongyuan sneered, remembering the pain in his body and the sadness in his heart at that moment.
“Little marquis, little marquis, what’s wrong with you?” The middle-aged imperial doctor who just arrived at the Imperial Hospital looked at the sneering Ning Yongyuan and fell into shock.
“Little marquis, does it hurt? You can still laugh?!” the doctor exclaimed.
Ning Yongyuan responded and replied, “It’s nothing.”
Although the middle-aged imperial doctor had a strong demeanor, he was still taken aback by this strange reaction. He said, “The wound has been taken care of. I will go outside to call your family.”
Upon hearing this, Ning Yongyuan chuckled again, snorting through his nose.
The imperial doctor didn’t dare to look back when he heard the sound, and ran outside as if someone was chasing him.
The imperial doctor said to the waiting people, “Are the people from Marquis’ Zhenyuan Mansion here? The wounds of the little marquis in your mansion have been treated and can be taken away.”
Wu Shuangxi took the handkerchief and wiped her red eyes. She said “Thank God” in gratitude, and then responded, “Yes, yes.”
In response, Wu Shuangxi urged the servants to lift the sedan and take Ning Yongyuan away.
The imperial doctor observed this scene and thought the preparations was well made, but noted that Wu Shuangxi seemed deeply affected.
The wound wasn’t that bad, it didn’t even bleed much, why so affected?
‘Madam you don’t know, but your young master was still smiling while spraying the powder on the wound.’ Of course, it was safest for the imperial doctor to be a saw-mouthed gourd. The middle-aged imperial doctor only thought about it in his heart without saying a word.
Then the mother and son met in the small room and she cried a lot. She took Ning Yongyuan away.
At this moment, Ning Yongyuan’s last trace of nostalgia for Wu Shuangxi disappeared, only hatred surged in his heart, but he knew that he had no strength at the moment, so he could endure it with hatred.
.
Under the brutal torture and severe punishment, Li Yunxi quickly found out the origins of the group of people who were attacking today. He was shocked that each family was so unconcerned and relaxed about the people in their own team?
And the Tiandi Chamber of Commerce that recommended people to various families actually turned out to be the enemy! How shameful! After careful inspection, he couldn’t find many people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
After all, many people wanted to make trouble. When it came to hunting, arrows had no eyes, and beasts had no brains, so accidents were normal. Among them, the Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion was a slightly weird family in the eyes of those who reviewed the matter.
Recently, this had been one of the suspicious matters.
In previous years, the people around Ning Yongyuan had all been recruited from the mansion’s villages, but this year they recruited new people. This was the second suspicion.
However, when this analysis was presented to Li Yunxi, he couldn’t help but laugh. “If he’s not a real son, it’s better to just give him up. With Wu Shuangxi’s current troubles, she won’t have time to worry about Ning Yongyuan.”
But… wait!
Why bother with this?
After all, it took some effort to bring people into the mansion.
At this time, Wu Shuangxi only needed one less thing to do. Why was she suddenly so “noisy”?
Li Yunxi thought of his unlucky junior brother, Jing Xingzhi. This unfortunate child turned out to be Wu Shuangxi’s biological son. Li Yunxi rubbed his forehead, and several thoughts crossed his mind.
Li Yunxi had the most sensitive sense of danger and conspiracy.
Was it just a coincidence?
This was suspicious, and to Li Yunxi, nothing seemed accidental. He began to reason suspiciously about Wu Shuangxi’s intentions.
Initially, Wu Shuangxi might not have intended to select someone from the villages for Ning Yongyuan, so for a while, Ning Yongyuan had been worried that there might not be anyone around him.
It was at this time that the enemy’s secret agents arrived at their doorstep, and the first person who could take the initiative would be the head of the household.
A capable head of household would certainly find it suspicious and send someone to investigate. What wouldn’t be found?
Li Yunxi took a sip of tea, moistened his lips, and continued to analyze.
If she didn’t find anything, there was a slight chance she might have been a little careless.
If she had found out even a little bit, her first reaction would likely have been to refuse out of fear of causing trouble. But then something must have tempted her, and she made the risky decision to agree.
What could have tempted her? A married woman…
Could it be that this woman wanted to eliminate Ning Yongyuan and erase her past mistakes?
Li Yunxi speculated and arrived at this conclusion.
A shiver ran down his spine as he realized how cruel a woman’s heart could be, even capable of harming a child she had raised for so many years.
But if that was the case, why did Ning Yongyuan’s team met the third and fourth princes?
Perhaps she wanted to involve people in more dangerous situations. But Wu Shuangxi didn’t expect that his sharpshooting junior brother would suddenly appear alongside the third and fourth princes, and Ning Yongyuan not only survived but was also rescued!
.
After Li Yunxi finished speculating on these matters, he wearily moved his pen to issue punishments and execute orders.
Once his tasks were completed, Li Yunxi pondered for a moment and called Jing Xingzhi over.
Firstly, Li Yunxi was curious about Jing Xingzhi’s archery skills, and secondly, he felt it necessary to inform his unlucky junior brother about this matter. It was too dangerous to have such a ruthless figure as Wu Shuangxi on their side!
In the palace, Li Yunxi still resided in the largest and most magnificent courtyard.
Jing Xingzhi entered the yard and the house a little strangely.
He thought to himself, what would his second senior brother do to him? At this moment, he must be busy enough dealing with things.
But when Li Yunxi revealed his speculation, Jing Xingzhi was deeply shocked by the woman he had never seen before, and even sympathized with Ning Yongyuan.
“So cruel? Ning Yongyuan was still raised by her…” Jing Xingzhi was speechless and felt strange at the same time.
Li Yunxi sighed like an old father: “Oh… she really didn’t deserve to be a parent.”
Then Li Yunxi looked at Jing Xingzhi with some worry and comforted him: “Don’t be afraid of her, anyway, you didn’t plan to return to Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion.”
Jing Xingzhi nodded, and then he suddenly became aware of where the strange feeling in his heart came from!
——Wu Shuangxi committed the crime in the wrong place!
If she wanted to harm Ning Yongyuan, wouldn’t it have been easier to do it at Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion?
If she was afraid of Ning Haibo’s suspicion, she could also let Ning Yongyuan encounter an “accident” when he went out. Not to mention the difficulty, it would definitely much more convenient than doing things in a royal hunting ground.
