Chapter 493.2: Resolving, Sharp Blade in Hand

Chapter 493.2: Resolving, Sharp Blade in Hand

That’s why, this was just the fundamental difference of whether or not it threatened one’s life. Previously, even if knowing that Li Hong Yuan was being framed, he still wanted to just ‘forget it if unable to investigate’. But now? It was investigating to the end, and afterwards, if they really do discover some problem, he probably won’t be lenient anymore.

Le Cheng Emperor’s injury wasn’t serious, just a relatively long but shallow cut. Although, because it was dipped in poison, after a certain period of time, afraid it will be dangerous. Fortunately, this for Gong Jiu wasn’t anything difficult. After neutralizing the poison, and then taking some medicine afterwards, it’ll be fine, nothing serious.

Li Hong Yuan proposed to send Le Cheng Emperor back, but Le Cheng Emperor was instead calm, “Since this emperor came to watch the horse race, then how can one not watch a single one and just leave like this?” Waving his hand, he just sat there watching the race, personally experiencing this kind of enthusiastic atmosphere.

“Loudly shouting and clamoring, how improper.” Although Le Cheng Emperor said this, his eyes nevertheless gradually became excited.

Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan sat behind him, sharing a glance, declining to comment. What did this count as? The after effect of the assassination attempt has already weakened by a lot now.

Li Hong Yuan, as if somewhat bored, played with Jing Wan’s fingers, also completely not caring whether or not Le Cheng Emperor will suddenly turn around and see.

Jing Wan struggled several times but was unable to struggle free, so could only just ignore him.

The Black Clad Guards came very quickly. Moreover, Le Cheng Emperor didn’t give order to seal off the news. That’s why, very soon, the people that should know all knew.

Towards this branch of Black Clad Guards that Le Cheng Emperor trusted the most, with them escorting him back, Le Cheng Emperor naturally won’t continue saying anything.

Li Hong Yuan rather wanted to go back with him, but got turned down by Le Cheng Emperor. If there wasn’t this assassination attempt, then he certainly would be willing to bond more with his son, but now, there wasn’t the time for this, first need to have this matter taken care of. “You can just enter the palace in a few days to come see this emperor. You haven’t entered the palace in a long time.”

Li Hong Yuan indifferently responded.

Once the person was gone, Li Hong Yuan immediately no longer concealed his own emotions, his entire person as if getting shrouded by dark currents, appearing quite scary. One can’t blame him for being this angry. Someone had dared to target Jing Wan under his eyes. For him to be able to endure and not have the person minced, it was already his limit. It can be seen, towards killing in front of outsiders, he still controlled himself. Else, with just this current appearance emerging, no matter how blind Le Cheng Emperor was, he would still be somewhat suspicious.

Having no other way, Jing Wan could only patiently pacify, while the others simply didn’t dare to approach.

Once Li Hong Yuan returned to normal, today’s matches already all finished.

Jing Wan knew that Li Hong Yuan’s condition right now wasn’t normal, but this was mostly caused by psychological factors. She’d asked Gong Jiu before, whether or not it was possible to use medicine to control. According to Gong Jiu’s explanation, for others, perhaps it was possible, but on Li Hong Yuan, it won’t have any effect. Moreover, this kind of emotional state, completely indulging won’t do, and wanting to rely on willpower to completely suppress also won’t do, rather need to appropriately vent, and at the same time, need to understand how to control. As for degree of recovery………..they don’t even know the root, and this bit naturally had no way of bringing up.

Jing Wan knew, but it was obvious, it can only be taken slowly. Once her ‘death flag’ passes, once everything has settled, letting him slowly put down the knot in his heart, then it’ll probably be better.

“Wangfei, how about sorting through all the people in the estate?”

“Naturally need to sort through, but similarly can only go through the motions, seizing one or two people, can’t completely all dispose of.”

If Jin Qinwang’s manor and estate were all like an iron bucket, then it’d be strange to not attract any suspicion. That’s why, the interior of the horse tracks being just like a sieve was completely just the outcome of them leaving it be. But when there’s too many holes, mistakes will always appear from time to time, which is also annoying. Towards this kind of situation, as Jin Qinwang Manor’s guard and shadow guard, they were all quite discontent. However, to have it all cleaned up clearly will only be even more troublesome, and moreover, even an enormous trouble. In comparison, maintaining the current state perhaps will be better.

Although not scared of having problems, but if there’s no troubles, then naturally it’ll be more relaxing.

As the saying goes, not scared of trouble, just disliking trouble.

However, this while, there was no need for them to go sort through themselves. With Le Cheng Emperor encountering assassins in the estate, and moreover, even someone from inside the horse track, everyone in the estate naturally were all within the scope of investigation. Because of Li Hong Yuan’s lax attitude, the Black Clad Guard this time certainly will be able to dig up quite a bit. As such, the masters behind these people, no matter what, all won’t be able to blame Li Hong Yuan, no?

Just, who exactly was the target of assassination this time? Could it really be Jing Wan?

The assassins had ran into Le Cheng Emperor and got taken away by the Black Clad Guards, having no way of interrogating, so for the time being, they naturally can’t be certain. However, it was only for the time being. The things Li Hong Yuan wanted to know, unless the assassins all died off, once again thoroughly severing all clues, otherwise, they will eventually be uncovered by him.

The Black Clad Guards, after going through the initial investigation, already uncovered quite a few suspicious people, afterwards directly reporting to Le Cheng Emperor.

After Le Cheng Emperor saw, he felt bad for his son, waving his hand and assigning more people over to him. These that had problems were all returned to their original owner, and can also be considered a warning.

At the same time, Le Cheng Emperor also let someone deliver a message to Li Hong Yuan. Those spies, if unpleasant to the eyes, just all pluck out, why bother keeping.

———-It’s not like this prince has anything shameful to hide. As long as they obediently work for this prince, who cares where they come from.

These words were delivered back to Le Cheng Emperor untouched. Le Cheng Emperor was both heartbroken and sad for his son.

In his eyes, Li Hong Yuan really was a good son. Many areas can prove this bit, just like, for example, the medicine Gong Jiu prescribed for him. After he’d returned to the palace, he’d looked for the imperial physicians and asked. It was actually just nerve calming medicine. Clearly, it was because he’d gotten frightened. Look how considerate his son was, not making it known in the slightest, preserving his face.

Towards this increasingly deep ‘misunderstanding’, if in the future, when Le Cheng Emperor completely realizes the truth, don’t know what kind of expression he will have? Really quite looking forward to it.

“Where does his Majesty’s confidence come from? The people he sends just won’t have any spies? Or could it be that his own spies aren’t considered spies?” Jing Wan felt that Le Cheng Emperor sometimes was seemingly a bit strangely confident, believing that his control towards his imperial court and inner palace, as well as the entire country was ample. Sometimes, he clearly had already detected something, yet a moment later, he seemingly would forget again, as if everything already returned to his hand. Was it purely just deceiving himself, or was it that even if it was like this, it also didn’t matter, because as long as he still had absolute control over all his sons’ wealth and honor, then it was fine?

Everything else aside, just the eunuchs by his side already had problems. Once investigated, the ones that had the matter of him secretly leaving the palace leaked out weren’t just one, so further don’t need to mention how many third-parties found out in this short amount of time. Aside from the Chief Eunuch that has always followed by his side, the others all got sent to the Department of Punishment, and those that weren’t able endure the interrogation under torture all died.

Things were already like this, yet he still thinks the people he gave his son were ‘good’?

With the Black Clad Guards interrogation, they originally thought that there will very quickly be results, but they all underestimated these assassins’ hard bones. Those torture equipments of the Black Clad Guards that made people fearful by just looking, all got used on them, yet they were still unable to make them open their mouth. Moreover, in just two days, the assassins all just died inside, not because they didn’t survive the torture, but rather got poisoned to death.

It was obvious, among the Black Clad Guards, there were also holes. One can imagine, just how furious Le Cheng Emperor was. He has always had the Black Clad Guards treated as the sharpest blade in his hand, and moreover, had absolute control over them, using like his arm and hand, but reality nevertheless ruthlessly slapped him in the face. “Investigate, investigate, thoroughly investigate!”

Aside from this, Le Cheng Emperor probably wasn’t able to say anything else.
