Watching the doctor leave, Duan Ling sat up from the bed and hugged Lin Liang into his arms.

Then, Duan Ling ripped open his clothes: "It's good to look at it, it's just a small wound on the back, what are you afraid of?" ”

Lin Liang looked at Duan Ling's strong chest without any wounds, and was a little surprised.

"Didn't I hear the guard say just now that a sword pierced the back of your heart? How can it be? ”

"The blood bag in the back of the heart was prepared by me a long time ago, and it was just pierced a little bit, so I can show you my back."

Duan Ling lowered his head so that Lin Liang could check the injury on his back.

Lin Liang saw at a glance that it was only a shallow wound on it, so he finally put his heart back in his stomach.

Slightly dissatisfied, he gently hammered Duan Ling's shoulder: "You scared me to death!" ”

"If you don't plan like this, then the princes in the capital will probably have trouble sleeping. But I still have to work hard to play a good play with me. ”

When Lin Liang saw the smile on Duan Ling's face, he immediately reacted, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You are really fine, the three princes are against you, I'm afraid you can't react to the loss."

"Your husband is so smart, shouldn't he praise it?"

Duan Ling smiled, leaned into Lin Liang's face, and stole an incense on her face.

"Well, praise you." Lin Liang's face turned red, but he didn't resent Duan Ling's closeness.

However, under Lin Liang's deliberate performance, Duan Ling died of his injuries because he was pierced through the back of the heart by an assassin's sword, and he spent the whole day recuperating in the mansion.

Because of this incident, Lin Liang has not been out of the house for many days, and his face is getting paler day by day.

It is natural for the subordinates arranged by the three princes in Suzhou to understand that now that Duan Ling's time is running out, Lin Liang will worry about him like this.

Therefore, when the news was transmitted back to the capital, the three princes were actually deceived by Lin Liang and Duan Ling in this way.

Thinking that Duan Ling, who was far away in Suzhou, no longer had any possibility of competing for the throne, the three of them fought to the death in the capital.

Whether it is above the court, or privately wooing ministers, relying on the forces of all parties, in short, a war for succession is about to start.

Just when the three of them were in the capital and had completely ignored Duan Ling from Suzhou, Duan Ling was secretly cultivating power.

Duan Ling's secret friend Dark Night is from the Sunset Dynasty, which is also a country with abundant water and grass and a vast area.

With the help of Dark Night, he soon established a huge network of relationships for Duan Ling in Suzhou through his connections.

Even, a lot of grain and grass were brought from the Sunset Dynasty.

In short, the current Duan Ling has established his huge power under the condition of quiet.

"I heard that now the eleventh prince is out, because of the relationship between his mother's concubine's family, which has caused His Majesty to be angry?"

Dark Night took the news from the capital from his henchmen, and smiled softly.

Duan Ling looked like he had everything in his hands: "It's normal, his mother's family has always thought that he is a relative of the emperor, and he has done a lot of bad things, and he has been caught by his father with a pigtail, so naturally he has to be uprooted." ”

"Now, the Fifth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince are facing each other head-on.

"That's not it, let's take a gamble, the fifth prince or the thirteenth prince, who has a better chance of winning?"

Duan Ling looked at the dark night with a smile.

Dark Night noticed the fox-like look in his eyes, and suddenly smiled.

"I chose the king of Nanping, Duan Ling."

"That's a good eye." Duan Ling raised his eyebrows.

"However, you really plan to stay here for a while, and if you go back now, you might be able to catch them off guard." Dark night persuades.

"Don't worry, the fifth prince and the thirteenth prince haven't decided the winner yet, let them fight again, it's more interesting."

Duan Ling stood up and added a cup of tea to the dark night, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, both with a trace of ambition hidden in their eyes.

Lin Liang stayed in the middle of the two of them, and in front of her, Duan Ling, a man who was extremely close to her, she couldn't see through it.

……

In the capital, the Five Princes' Mansions.

"Your Highness, now Elder Li and Master Zhang, those who are close to them on both sides are on your side. The Thirteen Princes have prime ministers on their side, as well as General Li, which is not much different from ours. ”

The henchmen of the Five Princes held a long list in their hands and began to proofread with the Five Princes the ministers who had recently been co-opted by them.

"General Li, find a way to fight again, the things in the barracks, we are still not as good as Duan Ling."

A trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the fifth prince.

The news that came out before said that Duan Ling had died of his injuries, but it had been so long, why hadn't he died yet, and I didn't know what the situation was now.

"By the way, have you checked the people arranged in Suzhou? What is Duan Ling's current situation? ”

"This ...... I haven't found out yet, but it's really the other courtyard of King Nanping that is heavily guarded, and even a mosquito can't fly in. ”

"Forget it, pay attention to the thirteen princes here first, and now pull him off the horse."

The situation on the side of the Thirteen Princes is still not optimistic, and he now regards the Fifth Princes as his primary opponent.

There was no softness in dealing with others, just when the two of them were already fighting in full swing, and even if they were above the court, they dared to choke in front of the emperor in public, but suddenly there was a news that made both of them change color at the same time.

"You said that Duan Ling has recovered well in Suzhou now?" The face of the Thirteen Princes was extremely ugly.

"Yes, not only that, I heard that the king of Nanping has cultivated a lot of power over there, and even the prince of the Sunset Dynasty is also helping her over there, which is extremely unfavorable for us."

The henchmen of the thirteen princes rubbed their hands below, and their expressions were very grim.

"Since that's the case, that paragraph Ling Ke can't stay anymore, go and inform the fifth prince, this prince has something important to discuss with him."

However, not long after the news of the Thirteen Princes spread, the Fifth Princes had already led their henchmen to the Thirteen Princes' Mansion.

"The Thirteenth Prince doesn't need to send anyone to find me, I've already come over. It's about Duan Ling, the king of Nanping. ”

The fifth prince clenched his fists tightly when he came in, he never expected that Duan Ling, who had always thought that he was already waiting for death in Suzhou, would recover so quickly.

also took advantage of the two of them being paralyzed, and secretly supported a lot of forces.
