Chapter 370: You come to ask me about your own woman?
Ms. Ma was scared out of her wits.
She never thought that Prince Yu would be so brutal and ruthless.
Simply because she said she didn’t know, he cut of his own ear with a knife.
How could she continue to live after this?
This man was too cruel!
Seeing the knife about to cut her, Ms. Ma covered her head with both hands and screamed on the ground, “No, no, no… I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you… Princess Consort of Yu is with the Crown Prince, you go find him, stop looking for me, I have nothing to do with this!”
Li Hongyuan let her go and emotionlessly walked towards the Supreme Palace.
Jiang Yi, who was stunned for a moment, hurriedly followed suit.
The remaining servants were already terrified, and for a while, no one dared to come forward and help Ms. Ma.
Bang!
Li Hongyuan kicked open the door of the Supreme Palace, knocking over a few eunuchs who were blocking it.
Li Jixian came out of his study, shaking his fan with his usual smile on his face, “So it’s you who’s come back. Since you’re back, why don’t you go and see the Emperor Father first? Why come to my East Palace and cause trouble? Do you want to guard the Imperial Mausoleums for the rest of your life?”
“Where is she?” Li Hongyuan ignored his threats and asked bluntly.
“Her? Who?” Li Jixian had a puzzled look on his face, “So you came here to find someone?”
“Old three, take a look at what this is.” Li Hongyuan casually threw something towards him.
It landed in the snow, blood-stained.
Li Jixian looked down and couldn’t help but shiver.
It turned out to be an ear.
“The Princess Consort’s ear,” There was no emotion in Li Hongyuan’s voice, “Others might not know me, but you should know that I’m always cruel and merciless to my enemies. If you don’t want to end up like her, you’d better tell me right now.”
“Old five, you’re really being unreasonable! This is the East Palace, you can’t just act recklessly! What are you trying to do?”
“Where is Jiang Ning?”
“How would I know where she is? Aren’t you asking me about your own woman?”
Li Hongyuan raised his short knife.
There was still blood on the knife.
He grabbed Li Jixian’s hand, lifted it up, and pressed it against the wall, while stabbing the short knife in violently—
Pu!
The short knife pierced Li Jixian’s palm and went into the wall.
His palm was nailed to the wall forcefully.
Li Jixian knew some martial arts, so he was cautious by nature, but he never expected that he would dare to do such a thing.
After all, he was the Crown Prince.
And he, a prince banished to guard the imperial tomb, dared to touch even a finger of his?
Not only did he touch him, but he was also so fierce.
In that instant, Li Jixian felt a twinge of regret in his heart.
He suddenly realized that perhaps he had underestimated Li Hongyuan’s ruthlessness and even more so, his concern for Jiang Ning.
However, these thoughts were fleeting.
The intense pain from his palm made him scream in agony.
Jiang Yi, who had just entered, was shocked to see this scene and stopped in his tracks.
A nanny peeking into the room from her hiding spot saw this and blanched, her body trembling with fear.
Li Hongyuan looked at her.
His sinister gaze sent shivers down her spine as she shakily blurted, “This has nothing to do with your servant… Please spare me, your highness… The person you’re looking for is in the secret chamber of the Crown Prince’s study…”
Li Hongyuan pulled out the short knife, walked towards the nanny, picked her up with one hand, and coldly demanded, “Take me there.”
He lifted the sturdy and plump nanny as if she was weightless.
When Li Jixian fell to the ground, he wailed in pain and clutched his hand.
Jiang Yi passed by him, stepped on his hand, and said, “So it was you who took Seventh Sister away. I’ll go in first and have a look. If she’s alright, we can talk. If not, this is just the interest..”
