Chapter 256 Can’t

"Yes, I don't want to kill him anymore."

As soon as Cheng Nianying finished speaking, the little prince became anxious: "Prince! Prince!"

Fu Yi held Cheng Nianying's hand: "Come, let's go out and talk first."

Cheng Nianying frowned and looked at his hand: "Apply the medicine first."

Fu Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "Yeah."

"Prince, Prince..." the little prince called hurriedly from behind.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Wu Xun pulled him aside.

The little prince bit his lip and stared at Cheng Nianying's figure.

who is she?

who is she!

"Aying, please apply the medicine for me." Fu Yi took the porcelain bottle from someone else and placed it in Cheng Nianying's palm.

After saying that, he added, "Don't worry, King Liang won't die that easily."

Cheng Nianying pulled out the cork from the bottle, pried open Fu Yi's palm, shook the powder into his palm, lowered her eyes and said, "Can't Prince Liang be the emperor?"

Fu Yi paused: "No."

"Your Highness, the unrest in the West Corner Tower has been suppressed."

"Your Highness, the unrest at Wangchun Gate has been suppressed."

"Your Highness..."

Prince Liang rode on his horse, brushing the blood off his armor as he said with a stern face, "I wonder who gave Prince Ding the courage to rebel."

The attendant echoed, "Yes, Your Highness, the men under Prince Ding are truly vulnerable."

"I think he realized he was in a desperate situation, so he wanted to fight to the death." said the guard who was leading the horse.

"Since he has no intention of rebelling, why should he be afraid of falling into a desperate situation..." King Liang blurted out instinctively, but stopped himself halfway.

Afraid of being framed.

King Liang closed his eyes weakly.

"Your Highness?" Seeing that his expression was not right, the attendant spoke cautiously.

"Although the rebellion has been quelled and the lives of the people in the capital have not been disturbed, I still have to go to the palace to take a look before I can feel at ease." King Liang tightened the reins of his horse with one hand and turned around.

"yes."

"You...you go back to the mansion first to confirm the safety of Miss Xiaohe." King Liang called his attendant.

"yes!"

"Go back to the dungeon and check if anyone who should be there has escaped."

"Yes, Your Highness."

King Liang frowned, still feeling irritated.

What if I enter the palace and confirm that my father is safe?

How can he let go of Zhaoning's affairs and Prince Ding's affairs?

Now, just thinking about his father's face that pretended to be kind made him feel unbearable.

He really can't do such a hypocritical thing!

As he steered his horse forward, he added with a sullen expression, "Go to the palace and invite Mr. Mo over. Have him wait for me at the palace gate."

Mr. Mo was one of the staff members of Prince Liang's Mansion. The long-servant nodded, knowing that his master was probably going to do something important, so he hurriedly jumped on his horse and galloped towards Prince Liang's Mansion.

When King Liang arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped.

"I have put down Wang's rebellion and am now about to meet my father to report the matter. How dare you stop me?" King Liang frowned.

"It is precisely because of Prince Ding's rebellion that His Majesty has ordered the palace gates to be closed and no one is allowed to move around freely." The soldiers guarding the gate refused to retreat.

King Liang felt something was wrong.

Although he had suddenly witnessed his father's true face in the past two days, he knew one thing would never change - his father trusted him.

Was it to block other people with ulterior motives from entering the palace? Was that why they didn't open this loophole?

"If I don't enter the palace, how can I report to my father?" Prince Liang's brows darkened.

Such momentum must have been extremely intimidating, but the soldier still didn't show any weakness and retreated. He just said, "Your Highness, please tell me. Someone will report it to His Majesty."

King Liang turned around with a stern face and was about to leave, but before he had taken two steps, he suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at the soldier's neck.

Even King Liang's own men were startled by this action.

The soldier's expression changed slightly, but he still said firmly, "Your Highness, are you planning to lead your troops to force the palace?"

Prince Liang sneered, "You can hold your ground even with a knife at your neck! How come I've never seen such a formidable gatekeeper before? Get out of here! Something must have happened in the palace..."

The soldier took a step back helplessly. "If you let Your Highness in, it will be us who will be punished tomorrow. But Your Highness insists on going in, and I cannot stop you. Please leave your guards outside. That way, it won't seem like a coercion."

Relaxed?

King Liang looked around and said, "Hmm."

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

The carriage coming from Prince Liang's Mansion rushed towards the palace gate.

Mr. Mo, as King Liang mentioned, was disheveled and got off the carriage in a panic. “No, Your Highness, don’t go.”

"I know something must have happened in the palace." King Liang turned around and supported Mr. Mo.

"Are they letting Your Highness in alone?"

"yes."

"That's an obvious trap!"

"But if we don't go in, how will we know what's going on inside? If we delay any longer, it might be too late."

"Then please verify one thing first, Your Highness."

"What?"

"Prince Ding's rebellion, why did it happen at this time?"

The sentence "I don't know who gave Prince Ding the courage to rebel" suddenly flashed through Prince Liang's mind.

It collapsed at the first blow. Who gave it the courage?

Who gave it to you!

"Your Highness should have guessed it." Mr. Mo's face was grim as he slowly uttered the name:

"Fu Yi."

"Where is Miss Xiaohe?" King Liang immediately grabbed his attendant and asked.

"No, not in the mansion."

"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter first? Have you sent anyone to the prison at the Dali Temple to look for him?"

"We sent someone to check it out."

Mr. Mo couldn't help but interrupt: "Your Highness, the more important thing right now is to interrogate Prince Ding to find out what Fu Yi did in this. As long as there is evidence, Your Highness can use the name of clearing the court..."

"But Xiaohe may be in his hands." King Liang murmured.

"Your Highness, I know that you have been attaching great importance to Miss Xiaohe recently, but the current situation is unusual..."

"She is the king's daughter."

"W-what?"

The attendant stammered, "That's not a big deal. Fu Yi likes Miss Xiao He, so that will resolve the conflict between him and His Highness."

King Liang frowned and said nothing.

Mr. Mo sighed even more: "Your Highness is not so naive, right?"

*

At the palace gate, the soldier lowered his voice: "Prince Liang is gone."

"Just go ahead, I'll report back to the master right away."

Before the two of them could finish their words, they suddenly saw a man on horseback galloping past, and no one was able to stop him.

"King Liang?"

He looked anxious, even more anxious than before.

King Liang galloped wildly on his horse on the Imperial Street, and countless soldiers with spears in hand rushed towards him.

Prince Liang didn't even look at it, but just stared at the carriage slowly approaching the palace gate.

"Didn't His Majesty forbid us from walking around freely?" The reins in Prince Liang's hands were so tight that they hurt.

"Fu Yi, is that you?"

"come out!"

In the carriage.

Cheng Nianying pried Fu Yi's palms wider open and sprinkled the medicine powder deeply into the cuts.

Fu Yi's palm muscles twitched in pain, and he was about to ask Aying if she was punishing him on purpose.

Cheng Nianying lowered her head and blew air into his palm.

The tingling sensation instantly overcame the sharp pain.

Fu Yi was stunned, but felt a little flattered.

King Liang is just outside.

But she is not in a hurry?
