On the morning of the third day of the spring hunt, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince encountered assassins while hunting in the southern woods. They were wounded by the assassins, but thankfully there was no threat to their lives.
The assassins did not escape; some were killed by the Imperial Guard on the spot, and others were captured by them.
After some interrogation, the surviving assassins confessed that they were sent from Yangzhou to carry out the assassination, aiming to take revenge on the Wang Family, Xun Family, and Yuan Family.
In secret, the Wang Family, Xun Family, and Yuan Family had all been collaborating with the aristocratic families from Yangzhou. However, those aristocracies held grudges because the Wang, Xun, and Yuan Families refused to help them.
