Chapter 774
He is worthy of being the second prince. Her Royal Highness the Princess has said in the past that the prince is nothing to worry about. The fourth prince is indifferent in nature. Only the second prince and the third prince are outstanding. Not only are their parents outstanding, but their abilities are not bad either. These two princes have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Cao Jing came in a menacing manner, with the intention of asking for guilt, but he knew very well that the second prince was so shrewd, how could he let his subordinates be exposed so easily and let them identify him?
His Majesty hates his brother Yan Qiang to seize power the most, not to mention that the person recognized him too happily and pointed directly at the second prince. Cao Jing said seriously: "Your Highness can send someone to the Fifth Prince's Mansion to find out what is going on. If it is not a subordinate of His Highness, then it is
The crime of frame-up will also be handed over to His Highness."
Xiao Lingtang's eyelids twitched and he sent someone?
If you send someone there, do you recognize it or not? Why does it sound wrong? Cao Jing doesn’t have a carriage or it’s useless. Why don’t you just bring the person here? This is intentional to let him bring the person there!
The second prince's expression changed slightly, and he called the house steward: "You go with Eunuch Cao, and bring it back to me whether it's true or not. If it's true, I didn't give my permission. It's because they are troublesome.
If it is false, someone is setting it up and we must investigate it to the end."
The steward hurriedly followed the order and retreated to Cao Jing. Cao Jing narrowed his eyes. As expected of the second prince, the crisis was easily resolved.
He smiled slightly and said: "Our family is very angry. We have offended you today. We will apologize to His Highness tomorrow. It is better to find out the facts now. After all, Your Majesty no longer wants to be involved in these disturbing things."
Xiao Lingtang heard what he meant. Neither party wanted to make trouble in front of the imperial court, so it would be best to reduce big issues to trivial matters and trivial matters to trivial matters!
Cao Jing only came here to test Xiao Lingtang's attitude. He had already made up his mind when he left the prince's mansion. However, as soon as he left, Xiao Lingtang became angry and looked coldly at the huffing man standing in the yard.
Circle guard: "A bunch of trash!"
"Let's all go down and fight twenty big boards!" Xiao Lingtang scolded: "So many people are allowed to compete with a eunuch!"
The guards lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to say a word, but they were muttering in their hearts that it was not just them who were afraid, but the energy around Eunuch Cao when he walked forward just now was terrifying, and the second prince also clearly showed fear.
It's a pity that the prince is respected and they are slaves. They dare not speak openly and have no choice but to accept their fate and go down to receive the punishment.
The dissatisfaction in Xiao Lingtang's heart reached the extreme, and he turned around and walked into the bedroom. The concubine just now was already trembling with fear.
Just as he was about to greet him, Xiao Lingtang took his clothes and said, "I'm going to the study."
The concubine was eager for him to leave, so as not to burn her with anger, so she hurriedly sent him away. Besides, Xiao Lingtang went to the study room. As soon as he entered, someone came in. This person had not appeared just now.
Just showed up now.
"Your Highness." This man was in his fifties, with gray hair and short stature. When he saw him, he bent down and said: "Your Highness, please don't bother me. Although the fifth prince has dull qualifications, the people around him are not stupid. This Eunuch Cao deserves to be
He is someone who has been with Princess Jinhua."
The reason why Princess Jinhua has been favored by the Holy One for so many years is because she is only a daughter. Without some scheming, how could she be able to withstand His Majesty's favor: "If you think about it carefully, the fifth prince will know that it is absolutely impossible for you to be your Highness."
Send someone there."
"Is this the Third Prince's intention to harm me?" The Second Prince said angrily: "Is this called tit for tat? Mr. Fan, what do you think of tonight's incident?"
"They won't look for trouble for no reason. After all, who would dare to cause trouble at this time?" Fan Li is the counselor around the second prince and the person his grandfather brought him. He is not a local in Sui City: "The fifth prince is also a straightforward person.
"
"The thing is true, but those people insisted that it was you who did it. It was clearly a frame-up. Your Highness has never paid attention to the fifth prince. According to the people, the suspicion of the third prince is serious, but how many times have you two confronted each other?
,Are the methods used this time too despicable?"
Xiao Lingtang frowned, it was true, this trick had been shown at the previous flower banquet, and it was not very clever.
"Could it be that Lao Wu directed and acted on his own?" Xiao Lingtang said: "He doesn't have enough brains, but he has capable people around him. Cao Jing is a fox with slippery hands. You see, the eunuch just became so proud.
What a look!"
"While he was intimidating me, he also wanted to calm things down, but I actually obeyed his wishes!" The more Xiao Lingtang thought about it, the more headache he got: "I thought that once the former prince left, the matter of re-establishing the master of the East Palace should be brought up to date.
I didn’t expect that my father never mentioned this matter.”
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, not in his twilight years. Your Majesty must not mention it again. This time the people from the Third Prince's camp took the lead, which actually violated His Majesty's taboo. They shot themselves in the foot, and now it is even more serious.
Can’t mention it anymore.”
Xiao Lingtang knew that he couldn't bring it up now, as he would be asking for trouble: "When the manager brings those people back, sir, I'll help me interrogate them to see who wants to harm me!"
The distance between the Fifth Prince's Mansion and the Second Prince's Mansion was not far, and even if they had to run, it would only take half a stick of incense. But the person in charge brought a team of guards to pick them up, but there was no movement for a long time, and it was almost dawning.
Xiao Lingtang finally became anxious.
As the saying goes, something must be abnormal and there must be a monster. If you haven't come back for so long, something must have happened!
Just as Xiao Lingtang expected, the steward and a group of guards went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion to pick up people and were about to come back. However, they were hit by another carriage at the corner. In just a moment, that
Several people were actually robbed!
They were just kidnapped. The group of people responsible for escorting were also drugged and passed out one by one. It was not until Xiao Lingtang sent another team to the Fifth Prince's Mansion that they were discovered on the road.
This incident made Xiao Lingtang furious. He thought he was just angry with Cao Jing, but then a group of people appeared out of nowhere and slapped him loudly in the face!
The night was so stressful that when he went to court in the morning, he had two big black circles under his eyes. Fortunately, Emperor Yuan was in a good mood after thinking of countermeasures against Nan Ying, and did not notice anything wrong with him.
But when the court meeting was over, Zhao Lun came out of nowhere and blocked his way. Zhao Lun, like Cao Jing, practiced internal martial arts, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura when he was serious in speech.
"Second Emperor Brother, please take a step to speak." Zhao Lun leaned back and pointed to one side: "Find a place where no one is around."
Xiao Lingtang's dry eyes stung slightly, but he still followed him. The two brothers were shoulder to shoulder. Unknowingly, seeing their backs, one could see the hint of brotherly friendship.
When he walked to the corner, the coldness in Zhao Lun's eyes became more and more serious: "How was the interrogation after the second emperor brother took the person away last night?"
