Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 289 Showdown with the Prince

The time soon came to the next day. Ling Buyi went out early in the morning and went straight to the palace. After entering the palace, he did not go to the Imperial Study Room, but went directly to the East Palace.

"What did you say? Zi Sheng? You want the tiger talisman? Okay, just wait here for a while, and I will get it for you." When the prince heard that Ling Buwei asked for the tiger talisman, he did not hesitate at all.

Looking at the prince's leaving figure, Ling Buyi's face felt somewhat unbearable, because what he was about to do would be very sorry for the prince who trusted him.

But for his own plan, he could only be ruthless.

But the prince didn't know that he had been plotted. He had returned to the room and said to the prince with a gentle face, "Send someone to take out the tiger talisman. I can use it."

"What? Your Highness, what are you doing with the Tiger Talisman?" the Crown Princess said with an unnatural look after hearing this.
"Don't worry, it's Zi Sheng who needs this, there will be no problem." The prince said
"Your Highness, I advise you to think twice. Zi Sheng didn't even tell you what he was going to do, so he just asked you for the Tiger Talisman. Is this true?" the Crown Princess asked.

"Huh? My beloved, you are acting strange today. Isn't that what you usually say? Wait, isn't there something wrong with the Tiger Talisman?" the prince asked.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? How could something go wrong with the tiger talisman? If something goes wrong with it, it would be a big deal. She is still pregnant. Do you want to scare me to death?" said the Crown Princess

"Since there's no problem, how about asking someone to get it as soon as possible?" the prince asked.

"Your Highness, I don't agree. I don't agree with you handing the Tiger Talisman to Zi Sheng." The Crown Princess continued.

It didn't take long for the confidant to leave the palace and go straight to the Xiangwu Hou Mansion. After Ling Buhuo saw the visitor, he took him directly into the study.

"I know your purpose of coming. Please go back and tell His Highness Ming that I will wait for him at Zigui Villa. According to the time, the prince should be there today." Ling Buhuo said directly.

"I was eager to save people at the time, so I didn't ask him the specific reasons, but he said that after you went to see him, you would naturally understand everything." The Crown Princess said

"What you said is so light. Zi Sheng is still waiting in front. What do you want me to say?" After the prince finished speaking, he did not wait for the princess to reply. Instead, he got up and left directly.

Looking at the leaving figure of the prince, a trace of worry appeared on the prince's face, and she thought to herself, "My enemy, how do you plan to solve this disaster? You don't want to die."

After all, it was impossible to hide this from the people. What was really strange to him was where Ling Buhuo had the confidence to choose the Zigui Courtyard.

"What? Are you crazy? Can you believe what he says? You, you are simply!" the prince asked
"I was in a hurry to save people, so I didn't expect so much. But if you go and meet him, won't you understand everything?" the princess said.

After hearing this, the prince's expression changed. He never expected that Ling Buhuo would arrange a place in Zigui Courtyard. He was not surprised that Ling Buhuo knew his whereabouts.

"You also know that she is pregnant now, so it is difficult for me to call her. I think it is better to go back first. When the princess wakes up, I will have someone call you over." The prince said
Naturally, Ling Busu didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, he knew who had the tiger talisman, so he bowed directly, then turned and left the study.

The prince didn't know what his beloved concubine was thinking. At this time, he was still thinking about countermeasures and how to tell Zi Sheng later.

The confidant bowed expressionlessly, then turned and left. Soon he returned to the palace and told the prince what Ling Buhuo had said.

The time was very fixed, and when he arrived at Zigui Courtyard, he saw Ling Buhuo sitting there.

"Okay, come on, I'm just curious today. What are you going to tell me? I think there seems to be nothing to say between you and me." The prince said.
"Your Highness, whether you believe it or not, in fact, the person I have always supported has always been you, Your Highness, and not the third Highness." Ling Buhuo said directly.

After Ling Buyi left, the prince's face became very ugly. He directly called his confidants and asked him to leave the palace secretly.

He suppressed the curiosity in his heart, then left the East Palace directly, got on the carriage, and slowly headed to Zigui Villa. Yes, he had been coming back several times a month since Qu Lingjun's disaster.

"The Tiger Talisman, the Tiger Talisman is in Ling Buhuo's hand." The Crown Princess said directly

"What? Tell me again, where is the Tiger Talisman? You! When did you give it to him? Wait, it couldn't be that time of the Sun family, right?" The prince said with an ugly expression.

After finally thinking of a reason, he returned directly to the study and said helplessly, "Zisheng, I'm really sorry. The tiger talisman has always been kept by the Crown Princess and she is resting."

"Yes, that's the time, but you don't have to worry. He wants the Tiger Talisman. In fact, he just wants a way out. He once said that if you find him one day, he will let you find him."

After hearing this, the prince's expression immediately changed, because he had already seen that there was definitely something wrong with the tiger talisman, so he said seriously, "Let me ask you, where is the tiger talisman?"

"Your Highness, sir." Ling Buhuo realized that the prince was here and saluted directly.

Ling Buhuo's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving him wondering how to cope. After a while, he finally came to his senses and said, "You really can't stop talking without surprising me."

"Your Highness, I know you don't believe what I said, and I don't expect you to believe me now. I just want to say that time will prove everything." Ling Buhuo said.

"Haha, what you said sounds nice, but it has been so long. Where is the thing that I want?" The prince asked with a look of disbelief.
"Your Highness, I brought the tiger talisman this time, but do you really want to take it, your highness? If I guessed correctly, it was my elder brother who came to find you, right? Are you going to give him the tiger talisman?" Ling Buhuo said.

"That's right. Is there any problem here?" the prince asked.
"Yes, of course there is a problem. Aren't you curious, Your Highness? Why would I say that? To say such ridiculous things is so absurd that even I don't believe it?" Ling Buluzhuo said

After hearing this, the prince did not speak for a while. At this time, the prince suddenly realized that there seemed to be something different about Ling Buhuo in front of him.

This made him change his mind when he originally didn't want to listen. He nodded and said, "Keep going. I want to see what else you can say."

"Your Highness, in fact, the person my eldest brother has always supported has never been you, but the third prince!" Ling Buhuo said directly, "What did you say? Say it again? Ling Buhuo, I advise you not to be alarmist, do you think you are Do I still believe what you say?" the prince asked
"Your Highness, what I said is true. You may not know it yet, right? In fact, the reason why I took refuge with the third prince in the beginning was because of my eldest brother's intention." Ling Buhuo continued.

"What? What did you say? This is impossible, how is this possible?" the prince said in surprise
"Your Highness, this is the truth. The relationship between me and my eldest brother is not what you see. The relationship we only see has not changed much from before."

"What I have shown these days is all pretending, and your Majesty also knows this. Your Majesty knew it when we first acted."

"And not only that, your Majesty once asked me who I support. Chen Dang told your majesty that it was you, your highness." Ling Buhuo said

After hearing this, the prince didn't speak for a while because he didn't know what to say. What Ling Buhuo said was really surprising.

He didn't want to believe this, but he was not a fool. He could feel that everything Ling Buhuo said was true, at least most of it was true.

And this was hard for them to accept. After all, the friendship between him and Zi Sheng had been established since childhood. He had saved his life back then, so how could he? He still didn't want to believe it.

"Okay, now that we have said this, let's continue. Is there anything else that I don't know? Tell me one by one." The prince said with a solemn expression.

"Your Highness, the matter regarding this Tiger Talisman is actually a test for the Third Prince. When I approached the Third Prince, he made an extremely stringent request."

"Then let me get the Tiger Talisman from the Prince's East Palace." Ling Buhuo said

"Wait a minute, you said this was Lao San's attention? And it was also a test? Isn't that right? If it is true that Zi Sheng is Lao San's person as you said, then how could you?" The prince interrupted directly.
"Because from the beginning, my eldest brother didn't let me tell the third prince about this matter. The third prince doesn't know the true relationship between me and my eldest brother."

"Because of the existence of Xiao Yuehou, some things cannot be explained. That's right, Your Highness, Xiao Yuehou doesn't know that my brother has taken refuge with the third prince." Ling Buhuo said.

"Yeah, but since you got the Tiger Talisman? Why is it still in your hands now? Shouldn't it be in the hands of the third child? And you said this was a conspiracy from the beginning, and why?" The prince said
"Your Highness, this tiger talisman seems to be a good thing, but for the third prince, it is actually a hot potato. In fact, when the third prince proposed the test, he did not expect that I could complete it."

He just wanted me to retreat after seeing the difficulties. In fact, at the beginning, I had no good solution. At that time, the affairs of the Sun family were suddenly revealed.

I took the opportunity to make the matter bigger, so that I can not only complete the test, but also help your highness. In fact, your highness has made your majesty dissatisfied in all these years.

The big reason is that you value friendship and take care of the Sun family and the Wang family, but neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.

"They have burdened you, Your Highness, so I took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. I not only obtained the Tiger Talisman, but also drove them out of the capital."

"As for why this tiger talisman is still in my hands now, as I just said, this tiger talisman is now a hot potato."

"If the Third Prince puts it in his hands, not only will it be of no benefit, but it will cause serious trouble. After all, he is not a prince, and in his view, I am unreliable."

"So naturally he didn't dare to ask for it, and naturally my eldest brother also knew about the Tiger Talisman. He just wanted to bury this hole in advance and use it later."

"And now, that's when he wants to use this trap. Your Highness, just imagine, if I didn't tell you this today, but thought what you thought, what would happen?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Of course I can't bear such a big crime as losing the tiger talisman. But if this happens, your fate will be much worse than mine. Why would Zi Sheng do this?" the prince said.
"Your Highness, me? I am just a chess piece to my elder brother. He never cares about my life or death. He just wants to use my life to drag you down this time."

"As long as this matter becomes a big deal, then he can let the third prince take advantage of the situation to incite the ministers and dethrone you as the crown prince." Ling Buhuo said

"Haha, hahaha, hahaha, well said, well said, well said, but I still can't completely believe you." The prince stared at Ling Buhuo and said
"Your Highness, it is normal for you not to trust me, but there is a person who can prove my loyalty, and you will definitely believe what he says." Ling Buhuo bowed and said

"Okay, the tiger talisman will be stored with you for now. After I return to the palace to ask for details, how about you come to the East Palace to see me again? Are you willing to do this?" the prince said
"Your Highness, I don't get what I asked for. I am in the palace, waiting for your Highness's summons." Ling Buhuo said.

After hearing this, the prince nodded directly, then stood up and left. Ling Buhuo naturally saluted respectfully, and did not straighten up until the prince had completely left.

Then with a smile on his face, he left the courtyard from the other direction and returned to the mansion ahead of the prince. Then he sat in the study and quietly waited for the prince's summons.

At this time, Ling Buyi didn't know anything about this. At this time, he was in the study room, arranging the final task. Yes, it was the last task.

After much thought, he really had no other option, so he could only use the most direct method to take revenge himself.

But in this case, everything must be done carefully, which is why he went to the palace to ask for the tiger talisman from the prince.

Because as long as the prince looks for it, he will find that the tiger charm is lost. When the prince moves, Ling Buhuo will naturally not be able to hide it, and there will be no way for him to stop himself from taking revenge.

Yes, everything he did was actually for revenge, but what he didn't know was that what he did turned out to be something else in Ling Buhuo's mouth.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because he lived for revenge in this life. As long as he could get revenge, he didn't care about anything else.

"Young Master, the second young master has just returned to the capital, and after that, the prince also came back. It seems that they must have met." Liang Qiuqi said.

"Oh? It seems that it has started. Well, since it has started over there, let's start here too. Don't make people wait." Ling Busu said with a strange look on his face after hearing this.
