The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge
Chapter 52: Suspicion of the startled horse
The horse screamed and fell to the ground. Li Yuan walked over and checked the horse's wound. She found a tiny pinhole in the wound, which was obviously caused by someone shooting it with a poison needle.
"Sure enough, someone is secretly doing something wrong!" Li Yuan was filled with anger and vigilance. She looked around, trying to find someone suspicious. However, the crowd was so busy that she couldn't be sure who was behind it.
At this moment, Li Shiyi got up from the ground, his clothes were disheveled and he looked embarrassed. He walked to Li Yuan and said softly, "Miss, I was almost trampled to death by that horse. Fortunately, I dodged quickly and saved my life."
Li Yuan was even more worried after hearing this. She knew that this incident was not accidental, but someone was deliberately targeting them. She had to find out the truth as soon as possible to avoid being plotted against again.
She looked around, trying to find anyone suspicious. Suddenly, her eyes fell on a man. The man was dressed in black, with a gloomy face and a cunning and vicious look in his eyes.
Li Yuan felt alert and thought this man was very suspicious. She decided to secretly investigate his identity and whereabouts to uncover the truth.
At the same time, Li Jimian also learned about Li Yuan's experience. He sat in the study, frowning, his heart full of worry and anger. He knew that this incident was not accidental, but someone deliberately targeted them.
After thinking for a while, he decided to send someone to investigate the matter. He wanted to know who was behind the plot and trying to harm them. At the same time, he also strengthened the security of the mansion to prevent any accidents.
However, what he didn't know was that all this was Shen Xiu's conspiracy. Shen Xiu had always been dissatisfied with Li Zhi and tried to alienate him from Xuanliang. He knew that Li Yuan was Li Zhi's niece and someone close to Xuan Youyan and Li Jimian. He decided to start with Li Yuan, arranged for someone to scare the horse and try to get close to her in order to achieve his goal.
Shen Xiu sat in the study room with a cold smile on his face. He knew that his plan had begun to bear fruit, and Li Yuan had begun to doubt the people around her. He believed that as long as he continued to implement the plan, he would be able to alienate the relationship between Li Zhi and Xuan Liang, making them suspicious of each other and attack each other.
He whispered, "Someone, go get those people. I want them to continue to implement their plan and make sure Li Yuan is in trouble and can't get out of it."
His personal guard felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
The wind in the capital always brings a bit of chill, especially on this late autumn night. At the invitation of Lian's mother, Li Yuan stepped into this quiet courtyard. The moonlight fell on the bluestone slabs, reflecting a cool glow.
Lian's mother, a prestigious lady in the capital, has always been Li Yuan's best friend and mentor. She is gentle, virtuous, and wise, and has given endless care and guidance to Li Yuan's growth. However, tonight's invitation seems to hide some ominous premonition.
Li Yuan stepped into the hall, only to find that Lian's mother had fallen to the ground, with blood staining her clothes. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair, as if she was telling of endless grievances.
"Mother Lian!" Li Yuan exclaimed, and rushed forward to try to help her up. However, her hands were shaking uncontrollably, and the fear and grief in her heart surged like a tide.
At this moment, a group of guards rushed in, holding long knives and with fierce eyes. They saw Li Yuan standing next to Lian's mother with blood on her hands, and immediately regarded her as the murderer.
"Catch her! She is the murderer!" a guard shouted loudly, and they rushed forward and surrounded Li Yuan.
Li Yuan struggled and tried to explain her innocence. However, her voice was drowned out by the shouts of the guards. She watched herself being taken away by them, feeling helpless and desperate.
After Xuan Youyan learned about this, he immediately rushed back to the villa. His eyes revealed a bit of coldness and determination, he knew very well that this matter concerned Li Yuan's innocence and life and death.
He walked into the dungeon and saw the imprisoned Li Yuan and Li Jimian. Their clothes were tattered, their faces were haggard, and their eyes revealed a bit of determination and refusal to accept.
"Lord Xuan, you are finally here." Li Jimian said in a deep voice. Although his voice was low, it revealed some majesty and power.
Xuan Youyan nodded, walked to Li Yuan's side, and said softly: "Li Yuan, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth and clear your name."
Li Yuan felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She knew that Hyun Woo-ryeon had always had special feelings for her, and she believed that he would do his best to clear her name.
However, at this moment, a guard came in, holding a report and looking solemn. He walked to Xuan Youlian's side and whispered, "Sir, Xu Jingyi has investigated the scene and found that Wenzhu is a suspect."
Xuan Youlan frowned when he heard this. He knew that Wenzhu was Li Yuan's personal maid. If she was really involved in the case, it would be even more difficult to prove Li Yuan's innocence.
He decided to interrogate Wenzhu himself to try to find out the real murderer. He walked out of the dungeon and came to the interrogation room. Wenzhu was tied to the rack, her clothes were messy, her face was pale, and her eyes revealed a bit of fear and despair.
