Ying Ning was stunned.

She really never thought of this possibility.

She firmly believed in what Jin Shu said.

But looking back now, Jin Shu married into the palace with her, and she didn't have the opportunity to leave the palace at will on weekdays. The information she could get must have come from her mouth.

Ying Ning's expression changed and she couldn't help but ask: "Have you investigated after the incident?"

"checked."

Gu Changyuan said succinctly, "The person who sent the letter to Jinshu was a steward of your house. After the incident, he committed suicide out of fear of guilt."

"Who is he and what is his name?"

"Li Xiangzi."

"Ah!" Ying Ning was surprised, "He is a follower of my father. He came out from his hometown with his father many years ago. Speaking of it, he can be considered a relative of the same clan. However, he took leave some time ago and went back to his hometown to visit relatives, but he has not come back yet."

"He can't come back."

"Dead?" Ying Ning looked at him, "Did you do it?"

"Yes. However, I just wanted to catch him for interrogation, but I didn't expect that he committed suicide out of fear of crime again." Gu Changyuan shook his head slightly, "It seems that you have a lot of problems in your family. When you have time, you should take care of them.

"

"I see."

Ying Ning fell silent.

Gu Changyuan looked at her for a while and said softly: "I know you have always hated me, but I really didn't mean to hurt your family. At that time, Zhang Gaoqiu was in power, controlled the military power, and formed cliques for personal gain. His next goal was to get you Li

The family is destroyed, and the reason why I locked you up in Xiyuan is to protect you..."

He looked at Ying Ning, but Ying Ning didn't look at him.

"I later understood how ridiculous and counterproductive this so-called protection was. It was I who gave Zhang Qiaoqiao and Li Siyao the opportunity to attack you and Ci'er. I..." His voice was a little choked and frustrated, "

It’s really too stupid and too self-righteous.”

Ying Ning said nothing.

She was stunned.

Gu Changyuan whispered: "You have no intention of me, and I shouldn't marry you. This was a mistake from the beginning."

"It's not you who's wrong, it's Zhang Qiaoqiao and Li Siyao." Ying Ning forced a smile and said, "Li Siyao was killed by me a long time ago, and Zhang Qiaoqiao also turned into a person who is neither a human nor a ghost. Speaking of which,

, my revenge has been avenged, there is no resentment left.”

"That's good."

Gu Changyuan finished speaking in a low voice and closed his eyes tiredly.

Ying Ning looked at him for a while.

He was motionless.

"Gu Changyuan?" Yingning called in a low voice.

no response.

Ying Ning's heart skipped a beat, and she slowly stretched out a finger and put it in front of his nose. She paused for a moment and felt a shallow, warm breath.

It turned out that he couldn't hold on anymore and passed out again.

Yingning hurriedly shouted to the driver outside: "Hurry up!"

Behind him, Jiujin drove the bullock cart very fast, and Takeda was knocked up and down in the cart, causing unspeakable pain.

After finally returning to Prince Xuan's Mansion, there were only a few maids waiting for him.

Ying Ning asked the maid and found out that all the servants in Prince Xuan's palace who still had some labor force had been sent to the battlefield by Gu Changyuan.

Ying Ning asked Jiujin and Gu Mi's coachmen to carry Gu Changyuan back to the bedroom, and then told the maid next to Gu Changyuan: "Go and fetch the doctor quickly!"

As expected, the maid was brought out from the palace. When she saw her master covered in blood, even though her face turned pale with fright, she could still remain calm and composed. She arranged for Monk Fatong to be invited, had people prepare clothes and hot water, and even took out two

The little maid went to serve Ying Ning while she dressed, bathed, ate, and rested.

Ying Ning knew that she couldn't help with the treatment, but she couldn't rest peacefully either.

After she simply took a shower and changed clothes, and treated some skin injuries on her body, she went to visit her elder brother.
