Chapter 527 Princess Doubts The Old Nanny

Zhao Wang Lei gave his permission and Eunuch Wang asked the Imperial Guards to bring whatever Xi Ying wanted to present in the banquet hall.

A few minutes later, the Imperial Guard stepped inside the banquet hall again.

But it was not something that they came with…it was someone.

It was a man precisely and he had only one hand. Li Na, Li Caihong, and everyone else looked confused as the Imperial Guards made the man kneel on the ground.

"He…what is he doing here?"

Princess Wenling frowned when she heard the old nanny whisper.

"Nanny, do you know him?"

She asked him in confusion but then she suddenly realized something and asked

"Is he the man who was hired by these two sisters to defile Li Rui?"

However, as soon as she finished her words, she said immediately.

"But did Li Rui not claim four years ago that that man had died?"

Princess Wenling was hence left confused by her own words.

The old nanny looked at her with disgust which she hid as soon as she saw that the princess was looking at her with questioning eyes.

In her eyes, the princess was stupid. She could not see her own doom approaching her. Letting out an irritated and heavy sigh, she told the stupid princess.

"He is that man\'s brother."

Princess Wenling had never seen this man. She had just asked the nanny to hire some man to scare Li Rui in the Imperial Garden a few months back.

And the old nanny who knew everything about Li Na and Li Caihong\'s evil schemes had intentionally hired the brother of the man who was hired by the Li sisters to defile Li Rui.

She had thought that using that man would put Li Rui in more abyss.

However, the old nanny had never thought that Li Rui would cut the arm of the same man who should have been the reason behind her trauma.

Now Xi Ying had called this man here. Although the man looked very thin, his cheeks were hollow and his eyes were sunken, the old nanny could recognize him at first glance.

She was not the Emperor\'s most trusted servant in vain. She had a very good pair of observant eyes and a very sharp memory even at this old age.

So she knew that this man was definitely the brother of that man.

However, how did Xi Ying find him!

Xi Ying\'s cold eyes were looking at the man who could not even keep his eyes open for a few moments unless the guard threw the drops of water at him.

"Ah…"

He was groaning in pain but it didn\'t lessen any coldness in Xi Ying\'s eyes.

He looked as if he just wanted to strangle the man and kill him mercilessly until even a single drop of blood and last breath was left inside the man\'s body.

And that was exactly what Xi Ying wanted to do.

Looking at the man\'s pale face, he remembered the day when Li Rui was dragged behind the tree inside the Imperial Garden.

It was this man that day who had dared to touch his wife and threaten to kill her and defile her.

That day, he had been so scared and he still would feel the same whenever he would remember that day.

What could have happened if Li Rui didn\'t have that little bit of her good skills to defend herself.

Anything could have happened that day and by that anything, Xii Ying didn\'t even want to imagine what it included.

He just wanted to kill everyone who dared to even think of harming his wife.

"Your Majesty."

With a great effort that he used to stop himself from killing the man in front of him, Xi Ying turned to look at the Emperor and said

"This man, here…he is the brother of the man whom these two…"

Xi Ying pointed his finger at Li Na and Li Caihong. Now he no longer wished to call them \'Second Young Miss Li\' and \'Third Young Miss Li\'. Even when he said these two…his eyes held disgust as if he was looking at some kind of untouchable thing or person.

"...these two had hired to defile this Lord\'s wife."

People nodded their heads understanding a little bit now.

Only then did Princess Wenling understand why Xi Ying had called that man here. Her nanny told her the same so she was telling the truth but…

"Nanny, how did you recognize this man?"

At this moment, the old nanny was scared and panicked. She was thinking if Xi Ying already knew so much then was it possible that he knew that they had even hired this man to kill Li Rui!

Princess Wenling might have asked her to just scare Li Rui but it was she who had talked to that man and she had even given him more money to kill Li Rui.

It was another thing that he didn\'t get successful but he recognized her.

These thoughts filled the old nanny\'s heart with panic so when she heard Princess Wenling\'s question, she couldn\'t help but snap angrily at her.

"Because we had hired the same man to kill Li Rui."

She blurted out whatever was going on inside her mind.

And sure enough, Princess Wenling\'s face went pale.

"When…"

She asked breathlessly as she looked at that man.

When did she hire an ordinary Imperial Guard to kill Li Rui? It was only a few months back that Princess Wenling was brainwashed by the old nanny that she should just kill Li Rui.

Before that, no matter how much the old nanny tried, Princess Wenling never agreed to kill Li Rui. She had just wanted to scare Li Rui…scare her enough to separate from Xi Ying so that she would be able to marry Xi Ying.

And even after she had decided to kill Li Rui, she never hired these ordinary soldiers or Imperial Guards to kill Li Rui.

She hired shadow guards who would take their lives rather than be caught and spill the truth. But this ordinary guard…

Princess Wenling swallowed. A moment later, she turned to look at the old nanny sharply and asked

"When did we hire him?"

The old nanny stiffened. It took her a few moments to say something but she still stuttered out.

"My Princess, this servant didn\'t know that this man would be related to Lady Li\'s matter like this. It was just a coincidence that this servant had hired this man to scare Lady Li when she had come to meet Princess Consort Yi during her miscarriage."

The old nanny sighed in relief when she finished. The stupid princess would of course believe her. She thought inside her heart.

And sure enough, Princess Wenling did.

The frown on her forehead vanished and she whispered

"So we didn\'t hire him to kill Li Rui, right?"

The old nanny nodded her head after a few seconds and Princess Wenling sighed in relief.

However, a few moments later, Princess Wenling\'s mind seemed to finally work. Her eyes looking at the old nanny were a little sharper and she asked

"Then how did you recognize him?"
