Chapter 164: Heavy punishment of the crown prince

Lin Liang nodded, because the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss made her close her eyes quickly.

Although Lin Liang recovered quickly from his skin injuries under Duan Ling's care, the matter still reached the ears of the emperor who was far away in the capital.

"Why didn't you tell me about the assassination of Princess Nanping in the morning?"

Staying in the main hall, the emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

If it weren't for the people he sent to watch Duan Ling and Lin Liang's every move all the time, he wouldn't have known that Princess Nanping, who was finally selected to satisfy Duan Ling and Concubine Rong, would actually be stabbed on the back of a fake disaster victim.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the King of Nanping is saying that the princess feels that the top priority is disaster relief. Therefore, I didn't dare to report this matter back, for fear that His Majesty would worry. ”

"What a big deal is the assassination of the princess? Come on, immediately call Dali Siqing to come over and find out the case! ”

"Minions, let's go."

Duan Ling, who was far away in Luoyang, saw that Lin Liang's injury was almost better, so he began to deal with the follow-up matters.

Unexpectedly, at this time, an urgent edict of eight hundred miles came from the capital, asking him and Lin Liang to return to the capital immediately.

Although Duan Ling and Lin Liang were a little worried about the follow-up of the disaster relief, they were still no match for the emperor's edict, so they had to pack their bags and return to the capital.

However, the assassination of Lin Liang caused a lot of uproar, not to mention that the emperor also specially sent Dali Siqing to investigate the case, and the prince always felt that there was a shadow in his heart.

At this moment, in the palace of Nanping.

"My father actually called Dali Siqing out, presumably this is really going to find a result." Duan Ling smiled lightly, unable to see his joy or anger.

"Isn't it?" Although Lin Liang said that he had recovered from his injuries, he still had some vitality in the end, so he was detained by Duan Ling at home to recuperate during this time.

"But you should be able to guess who is behind the people who sent me to stab me?"

"Aren't you a prince yet?" Duan Ling clenched his fists tightly.

He didn't expect that because of the fight between him and the crown prince, Lin Liang would be injured instead, and there was a flash of killing intent in his eyebrows.

"Don't be too anxious, the prince has done a lot of evil, and one day he will show clues." Lin Liang clenched Duan Ling's clenched fist.

"Even if I can't wait for him to show his feet, I'll prepare one for him myself."

Duan Ling still knew Duan Beixuan quite well, and knew that he had always been eager to repay him.

Beneath the gentle and elegant surface lies a heart that is ready to move.

Therefore, after the Dali Siqing began to investigate the case, and even came to the Nanping Palace, he asked Lin Liang about the situation that day, and he had quietly made arrangements.

"Your Highness, have you arranged everything?"

"Of course, the safety of Dali Siqing is now the top priority, and we must look at him well." The corners of Duan Ling's mouth hooked up with a bloodthirsty smile.

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded."

On the same day, Dali Siqing came to Nanping Wangfu again, checked all the details, and then left with his subordinates.

However, before he returned to his mansion, he suddenly encountered a group of men in black in a slightly remote alley.

"This official is an official of the imperial court, and you will be imprisoned if you do this!"

Dali Siqing has been investigating cases all year round, and naturally has a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.

However, the man in black who stopped him let out a few sneers: "You want us to go to prison? You'll have to wait until you get out alive! ”

As he spoke, the other party waved the weapon in his hand and stabbed in the direction of Dali Siqing.

Dali Siqing also has some martial arts, and in a hurry, he pulled out the sword on the waist of the guard he was carrying, and fought with the gang.

Just when Dali Siqing felt that his physical strength was exhausted and he was about to be succeeded by the group of men in black, another group of people suddenly came out from behind his carriage and fought with the group of people just now.

Obviously, the martial arts of the people sent by Duan Ling this time were much stronger, and in less than an hour, they would kill the other party, and all the rest were left alive.

When Duan Ling pressed these people and sent them directly to the emperor, the government and the opposition were furious.

The emperor was even more angry: "It's really the crown prince." There was a deep disappointment in the emperor's eyes.

Originally, I thought that I had warned him before, and it should have been reined in, but I didn't expect it to get worse.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" The eunuchs who grew up with the emperor didn't dare to take a breath, and now, the prince has made a big mistake.

"The prince has now lost his original intention, so it's better to be grounded for the time being, and reflect on it."

The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, and after a few moments, he wrote a line on the holy decree, and finally solemnly stamped the jade seal.

At the beginning of June, because the prince sent someone to assassinate Princess Nanping, he was grounded, and no one was allowed to see him unless he was edicted.

All of a sudden, the princes and ministers in the court who have reached adulthood or have supporters behind them began to be suspicious of each other.

And Duan Ling, as the first prince to be crowned king, coupled with the fact that he was highly valued by the emperor a while ago, became the first candidate for everyone to be targeted for a while.

Duan Ling had been worried for days, and Lin Liang saw it in his eyes.

When he returned to the room when he was already a child another night, Lin Liang clenched his fists and made up his mind.

As soon as Duan Ling woke up on the second day, he saw that Lin Liang's face was a fiasco beyond the previous days, and even his lips were slightly chapped, and Duan Ling's face suddenly changed in fright.

"Wen'er? What's wrong with you? Come! Go and call the Imperial Doctor! ”

Duan Ling roared angrily, and the maid next to him had already rushed out with her skirt.

Lin Liang grabbed Duan Ling's hand and pulled him to his ear.

"I know that now you are struggling in the court, since this is the case, then why not use my "serious illness" as an excuse to tell my father that you will take me to Suzhou to recuperate? ”

Duan Ling's breath was suffocated: "Have you thought about it?" Can you really stand this long journey? ”

Duan Ling didn't expect Lin Liang to be so considerate, even the things he encountered in the court were looked at.

"Why can't you stand it? Originally, I was fine, and your safety in the court was more important. ”

Listening to Lin Liang's words full of concern, Duan Ling only felt that it was not good to iron in his heart.

Even the cumbersome affairs that he had encountered in the court before were left behind by him at this moment.

Concubine Rong often asked Lin Liang to enter the palace, and she was obviously extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

The emperor owed a lot to Concubine Rong back then, so he naturally loved Lin Liang and Wu.

Therefore, when Duan Ling said that Lin Liang's condition was aggravating and he invited him to recuperate in Suzhou, which has a pleasant scenery, the emperor agreed almost without any hesitation.
