Xiao Yinhan received a crisp pat on the back of his hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his head to look at the girl in front of him.
If Jiang Tang's appearance hadn't changed, he would have thought that she was deliberately acting with him.
Just when he opened his thin lips slightly and wanted to say something, the carriage suddenly stopped: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the palace."
Eunuch Liu has been waiting at the door since he received the news in the morning, for fear that he would not be able to notify his prince immediately.
When the carriage finally came back, he immediately stepped forward and spoke with a serious expression and excitement:
"Your Majesty, the information returned by the spies is that the fifth prince was injured in the eye while chasing Prince Hao Zhou on Wednesday. The situation is serious and he may lose his sight."
Xiao Yinhan only paused for a moment before getting out of the carriage with the girl in his arms.
Compared with Eunuch Liu's excitement, his reaction was too cold: "So? Has anyone been caught?"
Eunuch Liu: "...escaped."
He said nothing more and walked towards the house with the person in his arms, but the silent sneer at the corner of his mouth clearly stated his opinion: trash!
Soon, the news that the Fifth Prince's eye was injured also spread to other people's ears, and everyone had different attitudes.
Among them, the one who had the strongest reaction was the Second Prince's Mansion, which had been keeping a low profile for a long time.
"...Fifth Prince, evil is rewarded with evil!"
The second prince disappeared and said angrily, and then complimented: "This is God's opening of eyes and revenge for you, Your Highness."
It can be said that despite the Second Prince's insistence, he still found the truth about last year's winter hunt on the Fifth Prince.
Although he knew that Lao Wu was ambitious early on, the second prince did not expect that he would dare to attack him.
Even though the second prince had already convicted the fifth prince from the bottom of his heart, he had no choice but to endure the abominable anger as there was no more direct evidence to prove that he was the one who instigated the crime.
"Tell me, if something happens to the fifth child, who should take over his official duties?" the second prince said leisurely.
The young boy who was asked was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you want to rob and take over?"
"Me?" The second prince raised his eyebrows: "Of course not. Isn't there someone more suitable and capable of poking his lungs?"
"Ah?" The boy was a little unsure, but he had no intention of continuing.
With a "pop" sound, the tea cup in his hand was placed heavily on the small table in front of him. A coldness flashed in the eyes of the second prince: "This time, I will let him have a taste of it. What does it mean to compensate your wife and lose your troops again!"
So it’s not that I won’t report it, it’s that the time has not yet come.
-
When the imperial edict from the palace arrived, Xiao Yinhan was in the room personally moving Jiang Tang's body.
"Your Majesty, someone has come to the palace. I have sent word that you have come to the palace to discuss something important."
Eunuch Liu spoke respectfully in a low voice, then added without thinking of anything: "It seems to be because of the fifth prince's eye injury."
After saying that, he stopped talking.
Xiao Yin frowned coldly, not knowing what he thought of. When he raised his head to look at the girl in front of him, his eyes became a little deeper.
He raised his hand and touched Jiang Tang's soft cheek, then suddenly approached her and left a message in her ear with a ruthless voice: "Wait until I avenge you."
Then he stood up, left behind the words "Take good care of you, Master Tang", and strode away under the awed eyes of his servants.
Jiang Tang's thoughts still lingered on the man's warm breath on her ear. When she came back to her senses, she only saw the sound of Xin Chang leaving, and she frowned unconsciously.
"Father, what does it have to do with my prince if the fifth prince is injured? It's not him who wants to take the job."
The speaker was Shunzi who had finally returned from his "sentence". Within a month, he had become darker and thinner, and his face had a bit of a sharp edge, but it didn't stop him from feeling dissatisfied when he mentioned the fifth prince:
"Your Majesty will not anger our prince, right?"
"I'm so angry at you!"
Eunuch Liu raised his hand and hit his useless son with a whisk: "Originally, the only one who could deal with the third prince was the prince. Now that the prince is in good health, it is normal for the emperor to want to hand it over to him."
Shunzi's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement: "That is, when it comes to these things, who can compare to the prince?"
I just wish he wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have to kill a few more of Hao Zhou's lackeys! -
In the room, Jiang Tang was still thinking about what Xiao Yinhan said when he left.
So, he guessed early on that the job of capturing Tuoba Jue would eventually come back to him? That’s why he has been so calm...
[Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission: finding a relative for "Gu Langzhi" and receiving the reward: Affinity (can gain favor from the person you meet for the first time)]
A cold electronic sound suddenly sounded in his mind, and Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment before he realized what it was saying.
She clicked on the task panel, and sure enough, the "finding relatives" task was completed.
Her beautiful eyes opened slightly. Does this mean that General Zhenbei has confirmed Xiaolang's identity?
And she didn't even have time to do anything more.
"Is this what it feels like to win by lying down?"
It was inexplicably refreshing. It would be great if she could always win, she couldn't help but think.
-
"I can't see! I can't see! Where is the doctor? Where is the doctor?"
As soon as the fifth prince woke up, he noticed that his vision was dark and his eyes were burning from time to time. This reminded him of what happened before he passed out, and he couldn't control himself from going crazy in the room.
The guards around him hurriedly comforted him: "Your Highness, please don't move or injure the wound! The imperial doctor has already examined you and is prescribing medicine for you outside."
After saying this, the fifth prince was quiet for a while.
But it was only for a moment. He did not continue to ask whether he was blind, but asked: "Where is Tuoba Jue? Has anyone caught him?"
The reason why he fought for the opportunity to capture Tuoba Jue before was just to compete with Xiao Yinhan, but after experiencing this incident, the fifth prince really wanted Tuoba Jue to die.
As soon as he spoke gently, the room suddenly became quiet.
After a while, the man just answered: "No one has been caught yet, but don't worry, Your Highness, the emperor has sealed off the whole city for you, and he will definitely be caught!"
And just after he finished speaking, another person added: "Yes, Your Highness, the emperor has sent Prince Rong to take action again. He is familiar with Tuoba Jue and will definitely be able to help you..."
"bump!"
Before the man could finish his words, he was startled by the medicine bowl that was hit hard at his feet.
"Drag me down and beat you to death with sticks!" the fifth prince roared at the top of his lungs.
The person being dragged away was dragged away by the guards before he even realized what he had done wrong.
He panicked and quickly begged for mercy: "Your Highness, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me, Your Highness, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong..."
The sound was blocked and soon became quiet.
But the "invisible" fifth prince was angered and asked Xiao Yinhan to take over his mission. Doesn't it mean that in the heart of his father, Xiao Yinhan is more capable and reliable than him?
He can accept the things he didn't do well...
"ah!!!"
A beast-like roar came from the room, making people's scalp numb.
