Slapped with a Brick

Translator: 549690339

“Your Highness, Your Highness!”

Attendant No. 2 gasped when he saw his own Crown Prince sitting on the chair with a swollen and bruised face. He fell to his knees with a thud, sobbing out, “It’s my fault!”

The Imperial Guards also knelt down.

Li Jixian’s face was ashen with anger as he snarled, “Where the hell have you guys been?”

Attendant No. 2 looked horrified: “I was originally stationed outside, but I was attacked from behind by someone…”

“Attacked?” Li Jixian was taken aback.

“Yes, attacked. I lost consciousness before I could react. When I woke up, I heard that Your Highness had been taken to the Jingzhao Office, so I hurried over.” Attendant No. 2 was on the verge of tears, “I deserve death!”

“Who was it?” Li Jixian asked grimly.

“That…” Attendant No. 2 hesitated.

Li Jixian was shocked: “Considering your skills, getting attacked is one thing, but you don’t even know what the attacker looked like or who they were?”

Others might not know, but he was well aware of his attendants’ capabilities.

They were the loyal followers he had cultivated over the years, specifically to counter Prince Yu.

Although they hadn’t directly confronted Prince Yu in the end, he knew their strength well.

Who could have such ability to stealthily attack them?

“Did any of you see what weapon they used, or what clothes they wore?” Li Jixian was desperate to know.

Attendant No. 2 silently pulled out a brick from inside his clothes and placed it on the ground.

Master Lu, the Jingzhao Magistrate and the people who had caught the lovers in flagrante were all in shock, temporarily forgetting that they had offended the Crown Prince.

“What are you doing?” Li Jixian shouted in anger.

“Please forgive me, Your Highness, this was the weapon used to attack us.” As he spoke, Attendant No. 2’s face flushed deep red.

Working for the Crown Prince, he was always filled with self-pride.

He never agreed to have Ren Chao as the Attendant No. 1 and when it was his turn to step into his position, he thought he could carry out any task flawlessly. Little did he know that he would be knocked out by a brick while squatting outside the inn.

As for the Crown Prince having been caught in the act, being badly beaten, and then taken to the Jingzhao Office, he felt like he was already dead when he found out.

Well, he might as well be dead. He was a servant, after all, and he had come to terms with that.

But he wished he hadn’t died so pitifully.

If the word got out that he, a skilled attendant, was killed by a brick, where would he hide his face?

Li Jixian felt his vision fading and felt faint with rage.

Goddamnit, his own expertly trained followers were knocked out by a bloody brick…

Who could it be?

The first person that came to his mind was Jiang Ning.

That piece of paper was clearly sent by her.

But, on second thought, just because of that piece of paper, could it prove that it was Jiang Ning?

What if it was someone impersonating her?

Even if it was Jiang Ning indeed, how could she pull something like this off?

Li Jixian was slightly stunned.

He couldn’t figure out how things had spiraled down to this point.

If it was a trap, could it be this much of a coincidence?

Does Jiang Ning even have the knack to have someone steal from him?

At this point, Master Lu, the Jingzhao Magistrate, began the interrogation.

He questioned the woman first.

The woman, who had been beaten horribly, was now dressed and not exposed anymore. She was kneeling on the floor, crying incessantly that she had been tricked into coming to the inn and that she was a good and honest woman.

Upon hearing this, Li Jixian was so infuriated he could barely see straight.

Based on her performance in the inn, if she was ‘good and honest’, then all the women in Pingkang could apply to be chaste wives!
