Shizi's farm husband

Xiao Ling frowned slightly, looked at Shen Luozhi calmly, and then continued, "The person who did it was none other than the fifth prince. Now, the fifth prince has been imprisoned in a water prison, waiting for the emperor to deal with him."

"How...how could..."

Shen Luozhi was stunned when he heard the news, unable to speak for a long time, "Xiao Ling, there must be something wrong, with the Fifth Prince's temperament, he would never do such a thing."

"It's true. The letter also said that the fifth prince was caught by the third prince on the spot."

Xiao Ling replied in a deep voice.

"Xiao Ling, you know that, right? The Fifth Prince doesn't need to do that at all." Shen Luozhi stepped forward suddenly, grabbed Xiao Ling's clothes, and shouted.

"Tiger, calm down."

Xiao Ling patted Shen Luozhi's shoulder heavily, "If you panicked yourself, why are you talking about rescuing the fifth prince? You and I know that the fifth prince has no intention of taking the throne, but outsiders don't know."

"I also want to calm down, but I can't do it anyway."

Shen Luozhi let go of his hand, and instead tightly grasped his hair, "Xiao Ling, as soon as I close my eyes now, the appearance of the Fifth Prince suffering in the water prison will emerge."

Xiao Qixuan once told Shen Luozhi about the water prison in the palace.

It was a place where felons were held.

The water prison was built in the palace, heavily guarded, surrounded by thick stone walls, and filled with cold water that spread to the waist. The prisoner was firmly tied in the center, with only the upper body exposed.

And the lower body must be soaked in the cold water all the time.

In such a harsh environment, let alone a brother, even a strong man can hardly bear it.

How could Shen Luo not be worried?

"Huzi, you have to be calm."

Xiao Ling looked straight at Shen Luozhi with sharp eyes, "We only have one chance to get rid of people without startling them. Just now you saw that the capital has been sealed off, and the guards of the palace must It's stricter than before, if you act impulsively and alarm the Qin family, it's hard to guarantee that you won't kill the Fifth Prince."

"In other words, we have to wait until Qin Haoran finds out where the Fifth Prince is being held before we can act."

"Okay, I believe you."

Shen Luozhi nodded solemnly.

"Ling'er, what do you mean by saying that the fifth prince has no intention of taking the throne?"

Xiao Zhi asked in deep doubt.

From the beginning just now, Xiao Zhishen felt that the conversation between the two of them was very weird, and he couldn't understand what they meant.

Since the fifth prince is a prince, how can he not be interested in the throne?

"Because the Fifth Prince is an older brother."

When the matter came to this point, there was no need to continue to conceal Xiao Qixuan's true identity. Xiao Ling simply told Xiao Zhishen directly, so as to save Xiao Zhishen from making wild guesses.

"The fifth prince is the elder brother? How is it possible? The fifth prince obviously..."

Xiao Zhishen had only spoken halfway, and Shen Qing's appearance not long ago appeared in his mind instantly, and the words reached his throat, and he couldn't say them immediately.

Soon, Xiao Zhishen thought of another problem, "No... When the prince is born, the emperor will send his confidants..."

"Father should know that what Li Guijun gave birth to was twins."

Xiao Ling reminded.

"Ling'er, what you mean by this is that the child that Li Guijun lied about to die was brother?" Xiao Zhishen suddenly realized.

At that time, Li Shunzhen, because of the birth of twins, became the nobleman in one fell swoop.

But the good times didn't last long, as one of the twins died young, Xiao Zhiyuan believed that the other child was unknown, and then alienated Li Shunzhen, which caused Xiao Qixuan's misfortune.

"Yes." Xiao Ling replied.

"I never imagined that Li Guijun would dare to do such a thing. If he and the Fifth Prince were found out, he and the fifth prince would be blamed." Xiao Zhi sighed deeply.

"But once it succeeds, making the Fifth Prince the emperor, Li Guijun will gain tremendous power."

Xiao Ling directly pointed out Li Shun's true ambition, "Father, power has always been the most tempting thing. Otherwise, throughout the ages, how could there be so many people willing to fight with their lives?"

"Hmm... Ling'er is right..." Xiao Zhi nodded in deep agreement.

"Xiao Shizi, may I ask if you have something you want me to convey to the lord?"

Qin Twelve cupped his hands.

"Qin Twelve, you can directly tell Qin Haoran what we said just now." Xiao Ling thought for a while and said decisively.

"Yes."

Qin Twelve nodded, and when he was about to leave, he noticed something strange in a certain place, and immediately put himself on guard, "Xiao Shizi, someone is over there, I'll go there and check first."

The moment the words fell.

Qin Twelve was already one step ahead and came to the side of the inexplicably appearing person.

"It's you?"

When Qin Twelve saw clearly the appearance of the visitor, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

Because Qin Twelve never thought that the person hiding here would be the dying Wei Yizhi.

Qin Twelve's strangeness quickly attracted Xiao Ling's attention, and before Qin Twelve came to report, Xiao Ling walked over expressionlessly.

Next to Xiao Ling was Shen Qing.

in fact.

When they first arrived here, Xiao Ling and Shen Qing had noticed that someone was there, but the person's breath was very weak, and it was obviously a seriously injured person, so they didn't pay attention to it immediately.

"Wei Shizi?"

Xiao Ling came over and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the appearance of the person coming.

How could he appear here with serious injuries?

Wei Yizhi's current condition is very bad.

The wound on his right arm, which was severed by a knife, kept gushing out blood. If he didn't help him stop the bleeding, he would soon die from the bleeding.

"Well……"

Wei Yizhi, who had recovered a little bit of physical strength, seemed to be aware of someone beside him, and slowly opened his eyes, "Xiao... Ling..."

Damn it, it's not good to meet anyone, but to meet Xiao Ling at this time, it seems that this time, even God is not willing to stand by my side?

A look of astonishment flashed across Wei Yizhi's eyes.

soon.

This astonishment turned into acceptance of fate, Wei Yizhi didn't think that Xiao Ling would let him go easily.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Ling asked suddenly.

"Xiao Ling...you you...you kill if you want...I, Wei...Wei Yizhi will never...beg for mercy..." Wei Yizhi panted with a lot of breath and little breath.

"Wei Shizi, I just asked why you appeared here? When did you say you were going to kill you?"

After receiving Xiao Ling's hint, Shen Qing quickly took out a small jade bottle, fed one of the pills in it to Wei Yizhi.

These pills were made by Shen Qing with his own abilities after discussing with Xiao Ling.

Shen Qing's treatment methods are still too shocking for people in this world, if they are seen, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

After all, when people face unknown things, they will involuntarily have fear.

After a while, Wei Yizhi's wound gradually stopped bleeding, and his injury was much better than before.

"Why did you come to save me?"

Wei Yizhi said in surprise.

"Don't you want to die? I'll just help you." Xiao Ling raised the corners of his lips, "Besides, as the price for saving your life, I want to know how you got your injuries."

"It's the Qin family." Wei Yizhi slowly closed his eyes and sighed silently.

"They have already planted dead men by my side, and all the people my father sent to meet me were killed by them, and I only managed to escape from them with a broken hand. Oh, I didn't expect that my Wei family All the organs have been counted, but the Qin family was the only one left out." Wei Yizhi opened his eyes instantly, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Xiao Shizi, do you want me to kill this person?"

Qin Twelve asked coldly.

In an instant, Wei Yizhi's heart was raised, and he took a look, only to notice the existence of Qin Twelve.

"Are you the guard who has been by Qin Haoran's side?"

Wei Yizhi opened his eyes wide, and quickly saw Qin Twelve's origin, "Xiao Ling, did you collude with the Qin family early on to overthrow the court?"

"Shut up, those people from the Qin family are not worthy to be compared with my lord."

Qin Twelve suddenly squinted his eyes slightly, and put his hand on the saber at his waist, as if Wei Yizhi's head would fall to the ground if he uttered a wrong word.

"Nothing to do with you."

Xiao Ling knocked Wei Yizhi unconscious so that he wouldn't stir up Qin Twelve's anger.

"Xiao Shizi, are you going to spare Wei Yi's life?"

Qin Twelve frowned slightly, and reminded, "Don't forget, he and the Seventh Prince plotted against you before, such a person, death is not a pity."

"It's still useful for me to keep him."

Xiao Ling replied indifferently.

"Yes, since Shizi Xiao said so, Wei Yizhi will hand it over to Shizi Xiao, and I have to go back and report to the Lord to say goodbye." Qin Twelve bowed to Xiao Ling and disappeared.

"Xiao Ling, he seems a little different compared to before." Although it was only a slight change in tone, Shen Qing still noticed it.

"I think it's Qin Haoran's side, and something happened."

Xiao Ling pointed out something.

Compared with them, Qin Haoran's current situation is more dangerous, as long as he makes a wrong step and is discovered by the Qin family, he will fall into a situation of eternal doom.

……

"My lord, these are the words that Shizi Xiao asked his subordinates to bring to you."

Qin Twelve knelt down on one knee and said.

"well done."

Qin Haoran nodded, "Qin Twelve, tell the people lurking in the palace to find out the whereabouts of the fifth prince as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Qin Twelve agreed, but he didn't leave immediately as usual, but cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the Qin family is too dangerous now, please leave as soon as possible, my lord."

"No."

Qin Haoran rejected Qin Twelve's proposal without thinking, "This time is an excellent opportunity to bring down the Qin family, I will not leave easily."
