Lu Ming reluctantly admitted defeat, but soon, he found that the winning or losing he was doing was still too simple.

Wan Yun told him early in the morning that there were rumors about the eldest prince and the Dejun Palace, but after an hour, several versions of this rumor had already been derived.

Without exception, they are all more exciting than the one Wan Yun told him.

The rumors couldn't be stopped, Lu Ming secretly hated Lu Zheng's cunning, but for a while, there was no way at all.

At the same time, what puzzled him was why it was so ugly outside, but the Great Prince's Mansion and the Dejun Wangfu were honest and there was no movement at all.

Do people of their status allow others to put on their heads, but do nothing?

Lu Ming was shocked, and a sense of powerlessness inevitably came to his heart.

He began to wonder if his expectations for the eldest prince were too high.

Some things are not static, even he is different from the previous self, let alone others?

Lu Ming boldly speculated that maybe this time, the eldest prince would not be able to defeat the crown prince as before......

No, no, in the flash of light, Lu Ming suddenly realized that he had neglected a very important matter.

Before, he didn't see the eldest prince finally reach the top, and before he had time to see the result, he was already dead, could it be that at that time, the eldest prince did not win the final victory?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Ming's heart instantly jumped wildly.

It was the first time he had woken up from that day, his heart was beating so fast, and his heart was so uneasy.

originally thought that there would be nine out of ten things, but something suddenly happened, and Lu Ming couldn't help but be a little flustered.

However, before everything was decided, he still tried his best to calm himself down and continued to let Wanyun go out to find out the news.

So far, Lu Ming still doesn't know that the eldest prince was punished by the emperor for being grounded.

This matter, the emperor did not allow the people in the palace to spread it randomly, and some officials didn't even know about it, let alone Lu Ming?

Therefore, Lu Ming still pinned his hopes on the fact that the eldest prince would listen to Xiao Liang's words and take the initiative to deal with Lu Zheng.

Unfortunately, this time, he was doomed to disappointment.

The eldest prince did send someone to deal with Lu Zheng and the crown prince, everything that should be arranged was arranged, and even human and physical evidence was found, but in the end, it was a bamboo basket for nothing.

acted in a scene for others in vain, and if he didn't achieve his goal, he didn't say anything, and he put himself in.

really responded to that sentence, time also, life also!

......

Dejun Palace.

Xiao Liang had a high fever last night, which was originally a small typhoid fever, but it became serious all of a sudden.

King Dejun was angry again, and when he saw his son like this, he couldn't bear to be harsh anymore.

Princess Dejun kept watch in front of Xiao Liang's bed all night, and in the early morning, when Xiao Liang woke up, Princess Dejun couldn't support it and went to sleep.

King Dejun first glanced at his son early and made sure that there was nothing big about him, so he went out to go to the morning court with confidence.

Before leaving, he instructed the housekeeper that if anyone sent a letter to the house, he would not accept it, no matter who came, and he would be thrown out directly.

The housekeeper is the confidant of King Dejun, so naturally everything is arranged by King Dejun, so when Wanyun comes to deliver the letter, he will be driven away.

King Dejun went to the early court with an indifferent face, trying to scare away all the good deeds with a cold face.

However, the effect of this is really not good enough.

Officials of lower grades than him naturally did not dare to express ridicule directly, but they were all secretly looking at him.

Such a gaze is enough to make King Dejun angry.

Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg, if these people's gaze is vague and not so obvious, then some gaze is much more presumptuous.

Those shadowy glances made King Dejun eager to have wings under his ribs and fly away directly from here!

But this is clearly impossible.

He is not a bird, where will he grow wings and fly away?

Take a step back and say, even if he is a bird, if Emperor Hui doesn't let him fly away, he will never fly away.

After enduring the early dynasty, King Dejun couldn't wait to leave, but was stopped by Emperor Hui, so he had to stay and follow Emperor Hui to the imperial study.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Hui really asked Xiao Liang about it.

Although Emperor Hui's tone was very peaceful, as if he was chatting about ordinary things, and even only mentioned a few words, King Dejun still realized very clearly that Emperor Hui was beating him and asking him to discipline his son well and not lose the royal face.

I can't write two Xiao characters in one stroke, even if it is a side line, King Dejun is still surnamed Xiao in the end, and it is not surprising that Emperor Hui reminded him not to lose the royal face.

But the king of Dejun still felt humiliated.

Endure a morning full of meaningful scrutiny, has made him tired, his face is gloomy, and now, he was carried to the imperial study by Emperor Hui again, and he was taught a lesson alone, it can be imagined how bad King Dejun's mood is.

This bad mood reached a peak on the way back to the house after hearing the chatter on the street.

Back at the Dejun Palace, the Dejun King calmly asked the housekeeper, everything is okay in the house.

The housekeeper replied that everything was fine.

King Dejun asked again if there was any news outside.

As soon as the butler heard this, his face suddenly changed.

King Dejun glanced at the housekeeper coldly, and said in a deep voice: "What, there is something to hide from this king?" ”

How could the housekeeper not hear that King Dejun was angry, and how could he dare to hide it, so he hurriedly told King Dejun all the news he had discovered.

After finishing speaking, the butler didn't even dare to look at King Dejun's expression, just took a breath and waited quietly.

It seems that the angry reaction of the king of Dejun has been expected for a long time.

It turned out that King Dejun was indeed angry, but his anger was a little different from the kind that the butler thought.

The housekeeper originally thought that when King Dejun heard about the eldest prince, he should immediately scold Xiao Liang, but in fact, King Dejun was not like this.

Not only did he not scold, but he also showed an extraordinary calmness.

Calm?

The housekeeper was at a loss in his heart, how could King Dejun be calm when he heard this kind of news?

Or is this calm just an illusion, for a bigger outburst?

Soon, the butler knew which kind of King Dejun belonged to.

King Dejun walked quickly all the way to his study, took off the leather whip hanging on the wall, put it in his hand and stretched it, and then went to Xiao Liang's room.

When the butler saw King Dejun come out with a whip, his eyelids immediately jumped violently.

The whip in the hand of King Dejun is specially made, specially used to torture people, and there are small barbs on it, which are not obvious to look at, but almost every time he hits, he has to bring broken skin and flesh, just Xiao Liang's body, I am afraid that if a few whips go down, people will be half-crippled.
