Ling Chang hurriedly went to find Song Luoyang and was told that Song Luoyang was at Mingyue Villa at this time (going to escape the summer heat). Ling Chang had no choice but to ride horseback immediately to Mingyue Villa.
If someone else goes to find Song Luoyang, they might not give him face. But Ling Chang is a gentle student, and he is also a member of his own family. It gave Ling Chang some clues, but it was of little use.
Lingting went back disappointed. On the way back, he was assassinated by an assassin. Just when the enemy's sword reached Ling Chang's eyes, and he was about to die under the sword, the people around him hugged Ling Chang and turned him in one direction: "Everyone, be careful, there is an assassin."
Ling Chang did not have many guards, only twenty. There were only six assassins, but their attacks were extremely ruthless and unexpected, leaving the guards unprepared. In the blink of an eye, four guards fell. The six assassins were all very skilled in martial arts, but unfortunately they didn't expect that except for the sneak attack, all six of them would be killed in the blink of an eye.
Wen Wan placed several top masters besides Xia Ying beside Ling Chang (Master Shadow was not among them). Wen Wan is now heavily guarded in the mansion and is not worried about safety issues. But Wen Wan played a little trick, and all these masters were disguised and blended in among the twenty guards. What Wen Wan was on guard against was someone assassinating Ling Chang or arresting Ling Chang and threatening her.
Wen Wan was just taking precautions, but she didn¡¯t expect an assassin to actually appear. Ling Chang's face turned pale at that time. After it was over, Wu Zhao saw Ling Chang staring blankly at the dead man in black on the ground.
Wu Zhao stood aside and said nothing, letting Ling Chang think by himself. They all felt that there were assassins around just now. Even when the assassin drew his sword and came directly towards Ling Chang, he knew that he could kill him when the assassin drew his sword. But Wu Zhao didn't, so he watched the sharp sword come to Ling Yang's eyes. He did it on purpose. Ling Chang was deliberately made to feel threatened by death.
This is not what Wu Zhao was taught gently, but what Wu Zhao himself thought. As Wen Wan's four personal guards, Wu Zhao's status in the princess's palace is second only to Wu Xing (there is no comparison with women such as Xia Yao, Xia Ying, etc.), and Wu Xing also clearly told Wu Zhao when he left. Wu Zhao already knew that Wen Wan was going to train Ling Chang as his successor.
When Wu Xing left, he told Wu Zhao that Ling Chang would not be allowed to be weak, whether he was the successor to the princess or the successor to the throne. Let alone learn from the princess's soft-heartedness. Therefore, when Wu Xing left, he told Wu Zhao that the princess would definitely send the guards around her to protect Ling Chang (Wen Wan often sent Wu Zhao to escort Ling Chang back to the palace). If there was an appropriate opportunity, she would let Ling Chang Faced with life and death, Ling Chang experienced the feeling of dying.
??Wuxing thinks that Ling Chang¡¯s temperament is too gentle, and it doesn¡¯t matter if the princess has a gentle temper. But if Ling Chang wants to ascend to the throne, he will definitely not be liked by the emperor if he is too gentle. And as an emperor, gentleness can only be on the surface. On the inside, he must be extremely tenacious and decisive. Wu Zhao was very worried that Lingying could not do it. Because gentle upbringing is too gentle. Wuxing believes that men must see more blood. Lingcheng who sees more blood will have a better temperament and will not be influenced by others.
Wuxing was looking for opportunities before, but couldn't find the right one. This time he left again, so Wu Zhao found an opportunity. Wu Zhao and Wu Xing are both people who often face life and death. Many have forgotten it, but they still remember the feeling of being on the verge of death for the first time. Although this feeling only lasts for a moment, only those who have experienced this kind of panic have experienced it. Will remember it forever.
Ling Chang looked at the corpse lying on the ground. If it weren't for the people his aunt secretly arranged for him, he would have died in the hands of these people. Lingcheng heard many times that Wen Wan said that his journey would be very difficult, and he was prepared for this. But no matter how much you prepare, nothing is as intense as facing death directly this time. Wu Xing's thoughts and concerns are right. For the first time, Ling Chang faced death so nakedly. At the moment when he faced death, Ling Chang remembered what Wen Wan had said to him. If you don't have enough power, you can only become cannon fodder for others on their way to power.
Wu Zhao looked at Ling Chang's fists clenched tightly and said quickly: "Your Highness, these people are dead soldiers. Even if they are caught, we can't find out. So we killed them." Wu Zhao said this, firstly, to explain Why don't they keep them alive? It's useless to leave them alive. The second is to divert Lingcheng's thoughts and prevent him from continuing to be trapped in the fear just now.
Ling Chang did not say a word, but mounted his horse and continued to rush back to the capital.
Wu Zhao looked at Ling Chang carefully several times. At this time, Ling Chang couldn't tell anything except his pale complexion. Wu Zhao remembered that Mingjin fainted from fright when he saw a dead person for the first time (Minggrui was a freak, so I won¡¯t make a comparison). However, His Highness regained his composure immediately except for the emotional display just now. Wu Zhao secretly thought to himself that he was indeed the heir trained by the princess. It seems that Master Wuxing no longer has to worry about this.
Lingcheng went to change clothes first, and Hai Ruyu got the news during this time. Hai Ruyu heard that Ling Chang was assassinated, and his complexion turned white. But before she had any idea, she heard someone below say that the fifth prince and the sixth prince were coming to visit the prince. The two of them were secretly competing with each other.
As the eldest son, Ling Yuan is responsible for stepping forward to make things happen. As for the forces that had taken refuge in the prince, because the prince was poisoned, some stayed on the sidelines and some looked at Ling Yuan.
When Lingchen arrived, he was stopped by the maid outside. Although it was just a very difficult act, Ling Chang's eyes deepened.
Wu Zhao stood silently beside him. It is best not to speak at this time. But Wu Zhao also despised the princess in his heart. Your son was almost killed in an assassination attempt. Even if the sky is falling, you have always met your son first, and it is not too late to comfort him before handling the matter. Wu Zhao was very sure that if Mingrui and Mingjin encountered such a thing. Even if it is a major national issue, the princess will not interfere. Therefore, there is a big difference between women and women.
This is actually a mistake to blame Hai Ruyu. As soon as the fifth prince and the sixth prince left, He Shilin came over. Heishlin is saying that the previous dynasty is now in turmoil. Let Hai Ruyu be mentally prepared. Heshilin's words were very tactful, but they pointed out that the prince's status was not guaranteed and that his family was in danger.
Hai Ruyu has never been so frightened. It was really a matter of life and death. If something happened to the prince, and the prince left, they would definitely have to follow him.
Hai Ruyu tried her best to calm down, thinking about the worst outcome. She couldn't let the worst outcome happen, otherwise their family would be doomed. At this time, Hai Ruyu's thought came up again. The prince was unconscious from poisoning, and there must be someone at the helm of the government and the public. And Wen Wan is the most suitable candidate.
Hai Shilin also believes that Wen Wan is the most suitable candidate, but the problem is that Princess Wen Wan is seriously ill now and cannot take charge of the affairs.
There was a ruthless look in Hai Ruyu's eyes: "Wen Wan must be pretending to be ill, that's for sure. Wen Wan is famous in the capital for being cautious and cautious. How could he be so careless and let Mingrui and Mingjin go? In such a dangerous place, the news is false. Wen Wan is pretending, and Wen Wan pretends to be sick to avoid the turmoil in the capital. "Hai Ruyu didn't expect that this was the emperor's strategy. I just think that now that Wen Wan has seen the situation in the capital, she wants to protect herself wisely. The news in Haikou came and they simply took advantage of it.
Hai Ruyu thought of this and immediately said: "Where is Lingchen now?" Hai Ruyu was going to visit Lingchen. The matter was urgent just now, and she wanted to see Ling Chang, but the previous visit was related to the safety of her family. So I had to give up.
Ling Chang walked in from outside. Hai Ruyu was very anxious, but was pulled back by Aunt Rong. Hai Ruyu calmed down: "Lingcheng, now is the moment of life and death for our family. Lingcheng, you have been waiting by your aunt's side. Tell your mother and concubine, is your aunt pretending to be sick or is she really sick? Lingcheng, you must Tell the truth." If Wen Wan pretends to be sick, the matter will be solved easily.
Lingcheng looked at Hai Ruyu and didn't understand why he suddenly said something about her aunt: "Mother, my aunt is really sick."
Hai Ruyu pinched Lingcheng's shoulder. Lingcheng frowned in pain, but did not make a sound. Hai Ruyu said eagerly: "Linghang, your father is in a coma now. Your fifth and sixth uncles want too much power. No matter which one of them takes the throne, our family will be finished. Linghang, our family needs gentle and gentle people." Help, we need her to take charge of the overall situation. "Although she is the princess, she is not qualified to take charge of the overall situation. Wen Wan has a distinguished status and has been with the late emperor for many years. She has always had a good relationship with the courtiers. As long as Wen Wan is willing to stand up for the overall situation, the courtiers will definitely be convinced. Wen Wan is impartial and fair in dealing with things. More importantly, Wen Wan is not a prince, but a daughter, so there is no direct conflict of interest with their family. As long as Wen Wan is willing to take charge of the overall situation, they will still have a chance in the East Palace. Hai Ruyu even thought that as long as Wen Wan was willing to assist Ling Yuan, she could propose that Wen Wan be the regent princess.
Heishlin stood next to him and added: "Your Highness, the prince is unconscious now. When their position is stable, Your Highness, needless to say, I believe that Your Highness also knows what is going on." Wen Wan has taught him carefully for so many years, if he continues This is not clear at all. What else can you say?
Compared to Hai Ruyu, Hai Shilin is actually more willing to put his treasure on Ling Chang. He had just been assassinated, but he didn't see any fear from Ling Chang. Not everyone has this kind of courage. And Hai Shilin is very sure that Ling Chang knows what will happen to the East Palace if the prince is gone. But under such circumstances, Ling Yuan showed his emotions and anxiety. Of course, Ling Yuan's performance was already very good, but compared with the calm Ling Chang, it was far behind (Ling Chang knew the truth, so he was not afraid).
Lingcheng shook his head: "Concubine, uncle, and aunt can't get up now, and aunt can't come out to coordinate the overall situation." He knew that his aunt was pretending to be ill, but concubine didn't know. At this time, the mother-in-law wants to let her aunt come out to take charge of the overall situation, but the result will only be counterproductive.
Ling?For a moment, I wanted to tell Hai Ruyu that Grandpa Huang was fine. But I thought about this sentence three times in my mind and finally didn't say it out loud. This cannot be said.
