Chapter 193: Grudges Deepen
Before the fifth prince could resist, he had already been tied up into zongzi by several people with excellent skills.
The fifth prince could only make a whining sound from his gagged mouth, but no one was willing to pay attention to him.
"Mr. is really high-minded, I didn't expect to catch these five princes so quickly." Duan Ling was overjoyed.
"Isn't it? It's not that these five princes are arrogant and complacent, they ran out without a few soldiers behind them, and they deserved to be caught by us. Lin Liang also couldn't hide his sarcasm.
The fifth prince only felt that it was difficult to speak in his heart, he originally thought that the weather was just right today, so he ran out alone, who knew that his luck was so bad.
The fifth prince was arrested on Duan Ling's side, but the situation was not as optimistic as imagined.
Especially Duan Ling has long been dissatisfied with the five princes.
In addition, Lin Liang suffered under him twice in a row.
The five princes, who have always been arrogant and grew up, have suffered a lot in the prince's mansion.
It's just a few days, and I'm already emaciated and haggard.
However, although he was deprived of the crown prince before, the eldest prince has never given up the struggle for the throne.
In addition, he was raised by the queen, and he is strong behind him.
After a period of grounding, he was released again.
After the eldest prince vaguely knew the news of the fifth prince, he didn't even go back to his mansion directly that day, and immediately rode his horse to Duan Ling's prince's mansion.
The people arranged by Duan Ling had already gotten the news, but in the end, they were still a step too late and did not stop the eldest prince.
Duan Ling was not happy to see the eldest prince, and even more said that he was in the prince's mansion to recuperate from his injuries.
Therefore, with the help of Lin Liang, he simply wiped a lot of ** on his face.
The lip color was also painted whiter, pretending to be a serious illness.
Subsequently, Duan Ling was placed on the hospital bed.
When the eldest prince rushed to the prince's mansion, he saw such a scene: Duan Ling fell on the bed sickly, Lin Liang was beside him with tears in his eyes, and the whole room was filled with a very strong smell of medicine.
"Seventh brother, what's wrong with you?" The eldest prince pretended to be concerned and approached Duan Ling.
Duan Ling immediately coughed heavily several times, covering his hand to his lips, and when his hand left his lips, a slight bloodshot appeared in his palm.
"It turned out to be the eldest emperor's brother, but now the courtier's health is not good, and he can't give the eldest emperor's courtesy, it's really rude."
Duan Ling's words were intermittent, but Xiao Qing, who was beside the eldest prince, glanced at Duan Ling suspiciously.
I've never heard of the prince's physical discomfort so serious before, didn't I hear that it was just a minor injury?
Why is it that you are so sick that you can't get out of bed all of a sudden?
"Seventh brother, it's not a secret, my father said that there is no reliable person in charge of the army now, and my father is very worried, so my father asked me to come and see you to see if you can return to the barracks and take charge of the affairs of the army?"
Duan Ling pretended to be sick in the Prince's Mansion for a while because of the previous affairs of the five princes.
Therefore, he did not return to the barracks in time.
The eldest prince wanted to behave like this in front of the emperor, so he took the initiative to ask for help, and under the queen's daily pillow wind, the emperor temporarily agreed, and let the eldest prince replace Duan Ling to manage the affairs of the army first.
However, the eldest prince did not satisfy the emperor, and the emperor once again remembered Duan Ling, who was "recuperating" in the prince's mansion.
Duan Ling lowered his eyelids a little weakly: "Now that the situation of the younger brother has also been seen, I am afraid that he will live up to his father's high expectations." ”
When the eldest prince heard this, he was only secretly happy in his heart, and he observed Duan Ling for a long time, seeing that his face was indeed pale, thinking that he was really sick.
Seeing that Duan Ling looked like he was about to lose his breath when he spoke, he forcibly concealed the ecstasy in his heart.
"Since the seventh brother is not feeling well, then just recuperate in the prince's mansion, and I will come to see you when I have time."
Duan Ling pretended to want to sit up from the bed and salute the eldest prince.
The eldest prince hurriedly stopped him: "You are so resting, it is important to take care of your body." ”
"Liang'er, go and send off the eldest brother."
Lin Liang stood up from the side of the hospital bed and wiped his eyes, which were already red at this time: "The eldest prince is here, please." ”
The eldest prince led Xiao Qing, who had recently come to surrender to Cheng beside him, and took a deep look at Duan Ling, and then Lin Liang sent him to the door of the prince's mansion.
"I didn't expect that this Ling was really sick now, and there seemed to be no problem before."
The eldest prince rode on a horse and walked slowly.
Xiao Qing was a little suspicious when he saw Duan Ling's appearance in the morning, and when he saw the eldest prince say this, he couldn't help but ride his horse to keep up with the pace of the eldest prince.
"The eldest prince, Xiao Qing feels that the matter of this prince is still a little strange."
"What's wrong?" The eldest prince turned his head and looked at Xiao Qing with a puzzled expression.
"It's not a secret, Xiao Qing and the prince had several relationships before, the prince is indeed in good health and has excellent martial arts, it is impossible for him to become terminally ill in such a short period of time."
Xiao Qing twisted his eyebrows: "And the situation of the crown princess is really strange now, when I went in just now, Xiao Qing seemed to smell a smell of ginger, presumably the princess's red eyes are not crying red, right?" ”
"What did you say?" The eldest prince tightly locked Xiao Qing's face: "What you said is true?" ”
"I don't dare to deceive the eldest prince, it's just that Xiao Qing feels that the prince's illness is too strange."
"Really?" After hearing Xiao Qing's words, the eldest prince not only did not feel the slightest unpleasantness, but coldly hooked the corners of his lips.
"If you want to stay in the hospital bed, stay longer."
"What does the eldest prince mean?" Xiao Qing looked at the eldest prince with a pair of cruel eyes, and slowly took two steps back.
"If you want Duan Ling to lie on the hospital bed for a longer time, wouldn't it be nice to use some poison?"
The eldest prince's upper and lower lips touched slightly, but what he said was an extremely ruthless trick.
However, Xiao Qing, who has always prided himself as a righteous gentleman, did not raise any objections at this moment.
After returning to the Great Prince's Mansion, the Great Prince specially called a confidant and made her look like an ordinary maid in the Prince's Mansion.
Subsequently, the person was directly arranged in the back kitchen.
However, the person arranged by the eldest prince had just prepared to poison Duan Ling's meal.
However, he was broken by a maid in the prince's mansion, named Xia Ju.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Ju had served Lin Liang before, although he was loyal.
