Chapter 987 - 987 464 Promotion (Third Watch)
?Chapter 987: 464 Promotion (Third Watch) Chapter 987: 464 Promotion (Third Watch) Xiao Hen went to the Hanlin Academy, and Ning Zhiyuan had been waiting for him in his office early on.
Seeing him approach, Ning Zhiyuan sprang to his feet and hurried toward him. Seizing Xiao Hen’s arms, he looked him over and said, “Are you alright? I heard you were kidnapped by assassins! Who could be so vile?!”
The emperor had originally planned to announce the crime of Prince Ning abducting Xiao Liulang, but it was stopped by the Empress and Princess Xinyang.
Although Princess Xinyang did not reveal the entire truth to the Empress, the Empress also understood that once the news of Prince Ning’s attempt to assassinate Xiao Liulang leaked out, Xiao Hen’s identity could no longer be concealed.
After all, from any perspective, Prince Ning truly had no reason to kill Xiao Liulang, unless Xiao Liulang’s identity had some hidden aspect.
Xiao Hen said, “I’m fine. It was a sect from the Jianghu. They kidnapped me hoping to extort some silver, but they’ve been dealt with.”
The Twin Saber Sect was not innocent, as they had been completely wiped out by the imperial guards.
“Are you really okay?” Ning Zhiyuan looked at him skeptically, “I also heard that your hand was injured, let me see it.”
Two grown men looking at this… to be honest, it was somewhat…
Insistent, Ning Zhiyuan persisted, and Xiao Hen unwillingly extended his hand.
His wounds were mainly on the back of his hand and wrist. The palm had already healed without a trace, but Ning Zhiyuan, seeing the intertwining fierce scars on that pristine hand, couldn’t help but click his tongue and shake his head, “What a shame for this hand. Can you still write?”
“I can.” Xiao Hen said.
Only upon hearing this did Ning Zhiyuan finally feel relieved, “Ah, I was scared to death those days you were abducted. I thought maybe you, kid, got promoted too fast and got in the way of some people’s interests. I even suspected Zhuang Yuheng! But I met him several times, and he didn’t seem guilty at all, so I dismissed my suspicions. What Jianghu Sect doesn’t have any brains? What silver could a poor country boy like you have? Oh! Did your sister-in-law strike it rich? I’ve heard that Miaoshou Hall’s business is booming lately. You should be careful with more silver attracting attention. It’s best to hire a few bodyguards with martial arts skills.”
“Hmm.” Xiao Hen responded perfunctorily.
