Originally, Li Hongming was waiting for the good news in the study. He was calmly practicing calligraphy. When the hidden guard entered, he didn't even look up. "Where's the thing?"
"Your Highness, please forgive us. The mission failed. We were ambushed. Our brothers all died in order to protect us."
Li Hongming suddenly tightened his grip on the brush. In an instant, the veins on the back of his hand bulged. He clenched his teeth and his face was ashen. He was obviously suppressing his anger. In the end, he didn't succeed. He slammed the brush on the desk and angrily flipped the things on the desk. "Trash!"
The hidden guard knelt on the ground. He endured the severe pain and didn't make a sound.
Li Hongming turned the desk and kicked it. The hidden guard was kicked to the ground, but he struggled to get up and still knelt upright. Li Hongming saw the dark red blood on the ground and didn't kick a second time. "Speak, what happened?"
The hidden guard clearly recounted the situation in full detail. He was impartial and didn't have the slightest mixed emotions.
Li Hongming was almost certain who did it, but he still wanted to confirm further. He didn't want to jump to conclusions based on his own guesses. "Do you know the background of the other party?"
"It's Prince Kang's men. One of them has fought with this subordinate before. Although I haven't seen his face, this subordinate is very sure of his background."
Li Hongming clenched his fists. "Li Hongyi, this prince underestimated you. I originally thought that you were just a defeated opponent. I didn't expect that after years of hunting, you would be pecked in the eye by an eagle. Good, very good. Let's wait and see. — Go and recuperate. "
"Yes, this subordinate will take his leave." The hidden guard got up, but he suddenly felt dizzy. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he fell to the ground. Because of the pain, he clenched his teeth and his whole body couldn't stop convulsing. Although he was still conscious, it was likely that he wouldn't make it.
"Why haven't you called a doctor yet?" Li Hongming angrily said. This person was one of his elite soldiers. He was very distressed that so many of his men had died. He saw that he was still useful so he didn't punish him. But this was the result?
The mansion doctor hurried over. After taking his pulse, his complexion wasn't good. "Your highness, the poison has penetrated deep into your organs. There is no saving you."
Li Hongyuan looked at the black blood on the ground and finally reacted. An endless storm was brewing in his eyes. "Send him on his way."
"Thank you … Your Highness." The pain of the poison was not something an ordinary person could endure. It was better to die quickly.
From Li Hongming's point of view, this was Prince Kang's way of not leaving anyone alive. In reality, Li Hongyuan knew that Li Hongming was very suspicious, so he left someone to pass him the evidence. However, it was not easy to train a hidden guard. Naturally, it was better to have one less hidden guard. With this, Li Hongming was completely unaware that the people who surrounded and killed his subordinates were all dead. Naturally, he was even more certain that it was Prince Kang's doing.
Although the item in Hundred Flowers Tower wasn't particularly important, it was still a weakness that could be used against him. If it wasn't handled well, it could cause him to lose more power. As for the situation over there, he still wasn't clear. Li Hongming was considering whether to send someone to investigate and see if it was possible to bring the item back. Or should he simply give up on that part of his power and clean up the mess to better protect himself?
No matter what choice he made, his losses were certain. The only thing he could do was to minimize the losses as much as possible.
"Your Highness, Young Master Liu requests an audience."
Li Hongming didn't have a good impression of his brother-in-law. However, he still needed his help occasionally, so it wasn't good to reject him. Moreover, he might know something about the situation. The hidden guard's corpse had already been taken away, and the blood on the ground had been wiped clean. "Please come in."
"Brother-in-law …" Perhaps he was used to being casual, but he didn't even greet him when he came in. He grabbed the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, then gulped it down in two gulps.
Li Hongming looked at him, his eyes clouded over. "What happened?"
Young Master Liu eloquently recounted everything that had happened. He kept saying bad luck and bad luck.
Li Hongming listened patiently, but there was only one conclusion. This idiot didn't provide any useful information other than bringing out the fake tricolor peony. However, was Sun Yilin's existence a coincidence, or was it Li Hongyi's deliberate arrangement? If it was the former, then there was nothing to say. If it was the latter, then what was his motive?
Li Hongming sent his brother-in-law away, but he also decided to give up on Baihua Tower. Li Hongyi's people might still be watching over them. If he caught something that could be used against them, then the losses would outweigh the gains. Thinking of cutting off his tail to survive, Li Hongming's heart bled. He swore that he would make up for it a hundred times over from Li Hongyi.
Who would have thought that Li Hongming's anger would only be stronger than his? He thought that his plan was flawless, but in the end, he still fell into Li Hongming's trap. Although he didn't lose anything important, the loss of his hidden guards made his heart ache. More importantly, he was still angry that he couldn't scheme against Li Hongming. His Imperial Father valued Li Hongming more, and the courtiers thought that Li Hongming was stronger than him. However, every time he fought with him, he lost more than he won. That kind of unwillingness and resentment sometimes drove him crazy.
…
Because Luo Peishan sent someone back to report ahead of time, when they returned to the Luo Family, including Old Madame Luo, was waiting outside the gate. When they left, they were still fine. How long had it been, but now they were all in a mess.
"Master …" Old Madame Luo, who had always been calm, couldn't hold it in anymore. She quickly walked forward and grabbed Luo Peishan's arm, "Are you hurt?"
Luo Peishan patted her hand comfortingly, "I'm fine. The most important thing is the third girl. Send her back first and let the doctor take a look at her."
Old Madame Luo naturally saw Nurse Gong, who was about to get out of the carriage with Jingwan in her arms. The servant who came back earlier said that the third girl had fainted. It was quite frightening. "What are you waiting for? Hurry and help the third girl down."
Old Madame Luo hurriedly sent Jingwan back to the Begonia House. The old doctor in the mansion was already waiting for her.
Jingwan was in the inner chamber. Other than the servants by her side, only her mother, Madame Zhang, was there. The other mistresses in the mansion were all gathered outside. Because Old Madame Luo was there, no one dared to say anything. Even people like Luo Jingying, whether they were gloating in their hearts or cursing Jingwan for not dying directly, didn't dare to show the slightest expression on their faces.
Soon, the old doctor came out.
"Doctor, how is my granddaughter?" Old Madame Luo asked with some urgency.
"Old Madame, don't worry. The third girl is fine. The injury on her head is not serious and there is no blood clot. The reason why she fainted was probably because she inhaled some smoke and was a little frightened. She will wake up soon."
In fact, there was no red mark on Jingwan's head. Although he was old, he was a man after all. It was impossible for him to pull Jingwan's hair to see if it was a red mark.
"Amitabha. That's good, that's good. "She finally breathed a sigh of relief." I will have to trouble the doctor to take a look at the master. "
Luo Peishan insisted that the doctor take a look at Jingwan first. He knew that he was fine, but if he didn't let the doctor take his pulse, everyone would be worried.
"Old Madame is too polite. This is my duty." The old doctor hurriedly said.
After sending the doctor away, Old Madame Luo went to the inner chamber to take a look at Jingwan. She ordered the maids to take care of her carefully and to send someone to inform her as soon as she woke up. She then looked at Nurse Gong, who had taken care of her ankle sprain. After a simple wash and change of clothes, Nurse Gong stood steadily and was still meticulous. She didn't see anything wrong with her. Old Madame heard from the young maid that her ankle was swollen like a steamed bun. "For the past two years, Nurse Gong has done her best to take care of Wan Wan. I have seen it all. This time, she has done a good job protecting the master …"
"Old Madame, I don't deserve it. I can't escape the blame for Miss's condition."
Old Madame Luo waved her hand. "That was just an accident. There's no reason to blame you. I'm not that unreasonable. You should take care of yourself. Wan Wan is used to you taking care of her. I don't feel at ease if someone else comes to take care of her. I will leave someone here to help you for the time being. When you recover, let her go back to my place."
