Ling Xiaoning's face suddenly became a little unsightly, and she turned her back to him.

What do you mean by that? Do you still want to hear from me about him and send someone to arrest him? ”

"I didn't mean that, after all, he is a person from the rivers and lakes, and his origin is unknown, so it's better not to get too close to him."

"I thought this matter was just a small trick made by the second prince secretly, and it had nothing to do with you, but I didn't expect you to say this......"

Ling Xiaoning instantly felt a wave of disappointment, perhaps he still didn't know him well enough.

"Xiao Ning, don't be unhappy, the situation is special at this time, it's better to be careful in everything."

"Anyway, I don't know what you do in the palace all day, whatever you say."

"Mainly because the situation in the palace is complicated, I'm afraid that there will be some accidents when you attack."

"I'm not afraid of any accidents, anyway, if something really happens, you're not much better."

"You mean you want to come back to the palace with me......"

Song Zhiqiu frowned slightly, his face a little gloomy.

"It's not impossible, it's just ...... I'd be very upset if you were in any danger because of such a decision. ”

"Whatever you want, I can't help you if I'm not by your side anyway!"

Ling Xiaoning was a little angry in his heart, on the one hand, he was not satisfied with him, and on the other hand, he was also very clear about his ability.

She's in a hurry, and she doesn't know what a good solution to things is.

Song Zhiqiu hesitated for a while and then decided to take Ling Xiaoning back to the palace with him, if the current situation made people stay outside, he was not very relieved.

There's nothing more reassuring than having people around all the time.

The two men returned to the palace in a carriage.

The atmosphere in the palace has become very depressing, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, all of whom are guards patrolling everywhere.

There were some accidents before, and there were inexplicably more cases of theft and theft in the palace.

It seems that someone wants to deliberately take advantage of this special opportunity to make trouble in the palace, so they have specially strengthened the security defense.

On the other hand, these guards are all people under Song Zhiqiu, and if there is any accident in the palace, he can also control the whole situation in time.

Song Zhiqiu currently lives in the same palace with his father, all to prevent accidents. Now his father is seriously ill and cannot handle the affairs of the court, and he is all responsible for him.

Ling Xiaoning lived alone in his original palace, and the number of guards in the palace had doubled compared to before.

Song Zhiqiu even told him that if there was nothing or if he had summoned him, he would stay in the palace and not go anywhere.

Although Ling Xiaoning couldn't see him when he arrived in the palace, he was like a prisoner who had been imprisoned, and his heart was even more depressed.

It is better to stay in this completion than to be comfortable in your own courtyard. Now that he has come to the palace, he can only let it go.

Unexpectedly, news came soon that His Royal Highness the Second Prince met an assassin last night and was seriously injured, and his condition is unknown.

The people in the palace would naturally guess at the first time that His Royal Highness the Second Prince's encounter with the assassin was probably arranged by His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince.

After the death of the king, His Royal Highness's biggest opponent is His Royal Highness the Second Prince. The king only has His Royal Highness the eldest prince and His Royal Highness the second prince in his life, and his two sons, except for them, no one is a legitimate successor.

"These people don't know right from wrong at all, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has to blame His Royal Highness the eldest prince if something happens, why? But it's strange to say, who will make a move on His Royal Highness the Second Prince at this time? ”

She reached out and touched her chin, thoughtful.

A eunuch came over to spread the word, saying that His Royal Highness the Second Prince wanted to see Ling Xiaoning.

When I came back from the palace yesterday, His Royal Highness the Second Prince knew the news, because it was a little late, and there was no message.

He was injured now, but he just wanted to see Ling Xiaoning.

Ling Xiaoning sympathized for a moment and agreed, but without the consent of His Royal Highness the eldest prince, he could not enter and leave the palace at will.

She could only sneak out of the palace with His Royal Highness the Second Prince's people and go to the palace where His Royal Highness the Second Prince lived.

She was thinking for a while on the road, what did His Royal Highness the Second Prince do with the assassin, what did it have to do with His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince?

"I hope it doesn't matter, maybe it's all just made up. Anyway, he wouldn't do such a thing......"

When I arrived at the palace of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the room was filled with an unpleasant smell of Chinese herbal medicine.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, how are you doing? I'm here to visit you! ”

His Royal Highness the Second Prince was lying on the edge of the bed with a pale face, and there were two palace maids with their heads bowed beside them.

"You guys go down first, let me have a few words with Miss Ling alone!"

"Yes!"

"Where are you hurt?"

His Royal Highness the Second Prince waved his arm. "Fortunately, it wasn't a fatal injury, it just hurt my right shoulder, and the situation is a bit serious, and I need to recuperate for a few days."

"Did the assassin catch it? Have you asked who is trying to harm you? ”

His Royal Highness the Second Prince's face changed, and he turned his face to the other side.

"Isn't that a clear thing? This is obviously what your Royal Highness the Great Prince sent to do! I know that because of the special concern of the two of you, you will definitely be protective of him for not doing this. ”

"But...... He wouldn't have done that, and you don't have any solid proof. ”

"The assassin was also badly wounded, and when he ran away and was found, he was dead, who knows who it was. However, the assassin had a hard drive on him, and he was obviously a guard in the palace. Most of the guards are his subordinates, and this matter is not done by him, who can there be! ”

"I don't know exactly what happened...... Do you know what the situation outside the palace has become now? There were still your people who wanted to catch Ji Xuanchen before. Ji Xuanchen has nothing to do with the matter between the two of you, why do you want to implicate the innocent? If he did this, there is nothing to say, anyway, you don't want to frame him everywhere, you two are in the same boat! ”

"Huh...... My father will not be able to do it when he sees it, I will probably be killed directly and secretly by him, and it will be too late for me to do something at this critical moment. ”

His Royal Highness the Second Prince sneered twice, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"Ling Xiaoning, you are not a fool, you should be sober and sober, this time, in this situation, either I die or he dies, it is impossible for the two of us brothers to live in peace!"
