At midnight on this day, in the dead of night, someone knocked on the door of the eldest princess's mansion. The boy on guard yawned and opened the door impatiently. There was nothing under the dim light at the door.
Just when he was about to complain, he glanced down and saw a man covered in blood lying motionless on the ground, as if he had been seriously injured.
The boy squatted down, shook the man's shoulders, and shouted, "Hey, how are you? You're not dead, are you?"
The other party had passed out and had no response at all.
The boy frowned and cursed himself for being unlucky. Leave him alone, it was another life, leave him alone, it would be troublesome. After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly carried the person in.
In the morning, the old manager arrived and found King Jing lying on the ground.
"Old manager, are you sure this is His Highness Prince Jing? His face is covered in blood, are you sure you didn't admit it wrong?"
The old manager said firmly: "Of course I am sure. I have watched him grow up, how can I admit my mistake? What on earth is going on? Weren't you on duty last night? Why is King Jing here? Why didn't you report it?"
"I..." The boy was in a panic and didn't know what to do. "I don't know him either. Last night, when I was dozing off, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. When I opened the door, I saw him lying there.
Unconscious on the ground.
I thought he was just an ordinary citizen who might have been robbed or injured, so I carried him in. How could I have imagined that he was actually King Jing?"
Seeing that Yu Xiujun's aura was very weak, the manager knew that he must be treated quickly, so he quickly ordered: "Go and call the doctor!"
The news that Yu Xiujun collapsed at the door of the princess mansion covered in blood soon reached Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun. Both of them were shocked and hurried to the guest room to visit.
At this time, Yu Xiujun was still in a coma, but the wound had been cleaned and medicine was applied, and the doctor concluded that there was no danger to his life.
Ye Fuxun wondered: "It's really strange. Why did King Jing collapse at the door of the princess's house in the middle of the night? And he was so seriously injured. Who wanted to take his life?
Besides, he is a kind man, treats everyone with courtesy, and never makes enemies with others. How could anyone want to kill him? Isn't it a vendetta? "
Bai Yuxian frowned. He had no clue now. He shook his head and said, "We can only wait until he wakes up."
When Yu Xiujun woke up, it was already sunset, and Ye Fuxun and Bai Yuxian came over again.
Ye Fuxun walked over and asked: "Brother, you are finally awake. How do you feel now?"
Yu Xiujun leaned on the bedside, smiled weakly, and said, "I feel fine, but the wound is a little painful. Thank you for helping me."
"We only found out this morning that a servant brought you into the house." Ye Fuxun said, "By the way, brother, what's going on with you? Why are you injured like this? Who wants to kill you?
?”
Yu Xiujun then showed a bitter smile and said, "To be honest, I don't know who wants to kill me."
Bai Yuxian spoke at this time: "It's not that King Jing doesn't know who it is, but it's because he doesn't believe it and doesn't want to believe it's that person, right?"
Yu Xiujun's expression dimmed instantly. He slowly closed his eyes and opened them again. He took a breath and said, "Has King Chen guessed it?"
"Yes, I do have a guess," Bai Yuxian said slowly: "I ordered someone to investigate today. You have been in the house for the past two days and basically haven't left the house.
But yesterday afternoon, you went to a place - Yuntian Winery. That winery looks like an ordinary winery run by ordinary people, but in fact the boss behind it is King Yan.
King Yan likes to go there with his friends to drink tea and chat on weekdays. I think you used to go there often before, right?"
Yu Xiujun didn't say anything, and Bai Yuxian continued: "You went yesterday at the invitation of King Yan. King Yan asked you to meet, but it was not a simple chat, but to persuade you to fight for the throne. I can guess
right?"
Yu Xiujun nodded, with a look of sadness on his face, "King Yan hoped that I could overthrow my fourth brother and ascend to the throne, but I refused and told him that I would leave for the northwest the day after tomorrow.
After leaving the winery, I wanted to go back home, but I didn’t expect that I met two killers on the way..."
Yu Xiujun tried his best to fight the killer and finally managed to escape, but he did not dare to escape to the mansion. The mansion where he lived before was empty now, except for a few helpless servants.
If he goes back, he will lead the killer back, which will inevitably harm innocent people. He feels that he has harmed too many people in his life, and even if he dies this time, he should not harm others again.
Therefore, he hid under the cover of night until late at night, thinking that the killer could not find him and gave up, so he prepared to return home.
However, he was injured and the wound was still bleeding, and his body gradually became unable to support him. He happened to find himself near the princess's mansion, so he dragged his weak body to the princess's mansion.
After listening to Yu Xiujun's story, Ye Fuxun also roughly guessed who wanted to kill him.
"I have no intention of competing for the throne at all. I made my attitude clear on the day of the coronation ceremony. Why does he still want to kill me?"
Bai Yuxian said: "You have expressed your attitude, but the other party may not necessarily believe it. Isn't this the case with suspicion since ancient times?"
Yu Xiujun kept silent and frowned deeply.
Ye Fuxun said worriedly: "Brother Four Emperors will definitely not give up if he knows that you are not dead. You have to be careful in the future."
Yu Xiujun shook his head and said: "He is the emperor now. Whoever he wants to die is not as simple as trampling an ant to death? No matter how careful I am, I can't guard against it."
Ye Fuxun nodded. Yu Xiujun's words were not unreasonable. Since he didn't want to compete for the throne, he could only hide away from this place of right and wrong, and live in anonymity from now on.
"You should recuperate in the Princess Mansion first. This place is ours and outsiders can't come in, so don't worry." Ye Fuxun comforted him, "When you recover from your injury, you can decide whether to leave the capital or stay."
.However, I personally recommend that you choose the former."
Yu Xiujun nodded: "I will think it over carefully."
"That's good." Ye Fuxun stood up and said, "Then we won't disturb your rest. If you have anything to do, just tell the servants outside."
Yu Xiujun squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome. Brother has taken care of me before, so I should help you." Ye Fuxun said and went out with Bai Yuxian.
When they got outside, Bai Yuxian said: "If Yu Xiuqi knew that King Jing was here, he would definitely send someone over to inquire about the situation. With his suspicious temperament, he might even think that we are conspiring with King Jing."
