Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 292 The unwilling third prince

"There is no good way now. We can only wait now. After all, this matter is too big. If we intervene rashly at this time, it may be counterproductive." The prince said
Taifu Lou didn't say anything after hearing this. In fact, he didn't care about Ling Buyi's fate at all. The reason why he asked just now was just because he wanted to change the topic.

That's right, in his heart, he actually didn't believe Ling Buhuo. He was really just thinking about himself. These words could only be used to deceive the prince. He didn't believe a word of it.

At the same time, Ling Buhuo had already brought Ling Buyi into the palace, and soon arrived in front of the imperial study room. After arriving, Ling Buyu did not follow Ling Buyi in.

He knew very well that at this time, when His Majesty and Ling Buyi were alone, if he went in, he would be making himself uncomfortable.

And this is indeed the case, as soon as Emperor Wen saw Ling Buyi. He quickly asked what Ling Buhuo said, wanting to confirm his identity and see if he was Huo Wushang.

Ling Buyi, who was well prepared, did not explain too much, but directly showed the birthmark. After seeing the birthmark, Emperor Wen completely believed this fact.

At this time, Emperor Wen's face was full of smiles and tears at the same time. He couldn't help it, he was so happy. Brother Huo Chong actually had a child. How could he not be happy?

But after he was happy, he had a headache. After all, this time Ling Buhuo, oh no, should be called Huo Wushang now, the mistake he made was really big.

It is simply impossible to perfectly exonerate him, even if he is the emperor.

In fact, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about letting Ling Buyi disappear. Even without revealing his identity. But later he gave up because Ling Buyi was right and he didn't dare anymore.

"Alright, brother, according to the decree, you can live here well until there is no decree to deal with you. I dare not say anything else, but it is much better than other places." Ling Buhuo said

There was no other way. First, Ling Buhuo met the prince and asked Beitaizi to send him out of the palace in person. Then Ling Buyi suddenly killed his own father.

"Zi Chen, please take Zi Sheng back. There will be an imperial edict in a few days." Emperor Wen said directly
After hearing this, Ling Buhuo naturally bowed directly and then led Ling Buyi out of the imperial study.

"Hey, brother, if you don't understand me, then I have nothing to worry about. Do we have a happy cooperation?" Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

"Brother, why are you doing this? Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you now. Anyway, there's nothing you can do now."

After hearing this, Ling Busuo naturally hurriedly bowed and thanked him, but at this time, Ling Busuo was still waiting outside without going anywhere.

And the reason why he did this was naturally because he brought the person, so he naturally wanted to send the person back. Also, he was still a little worried that his brother was talking nonsense.

This turmoil can be said to be coming one after another, and everything is very unfavorable to him. He suddenly found that there was only Ouyang Lun beside him.

While the two brothers were talking, the third prince was fidgeting and pacing back and forth. At this time, his heart could not calm down.

It's not that he doesn't dare to take the gamble, but he feels that it's not worth it, because he now has a better choice. As long as the prince can ascend the throne in the future, he will be able to gain a lot of benefits.

After hearing this, Emperor Wen nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, it won't be too difficult."

"Do you think this is true? Do you think this is cooperation?" Ling Buyu asked.

Time passed slowly, and it was not until half an hour later that he was allowed in. After entering the imperial study, he naturally saluted hurriedly.

After speaking, Ling Buhuo immediately asked people to take Ling Busuo down. Looking at Ling Busuo's leaving figure, Ling Buhuo's brows were tightly knitted together.

There is no need to take risks for Ling Buji, because compared to his plan, Ling Buji is nothing, he is just an insignificant person.

"Sir, what should I do in the current situation?" the third prince asked confusedly.

"Your Highness, there is no chance for the former general at this time. After all, it is patricide. Even if His Majesty is partisan, I am afraid he can only save his life."

"Haha, just say what you want. There is no need to be secretive. Don't worry. Apart from the matter of identity, I didn't say a word." Ling Busuo said.

"Brother, I can tell by your expression that you must have succeeded. Do I want to congratulate you now? After all, your life has been saved." Ling Buhuo said

"Zisheng, your mistake this time is really too big. Even I can't make you completely innocent. The most I can do is save your life." Emperor Wen said
"I will be satisfied if I can save my life. Your Majesty, no matter what the punishment is, I will accept it without any complaints." Ling Busuo said

"So we can only find a solution from Marquis Xiangwu. After all, although he has met the prince, it does not mean that he belongs to the prince."

"What happened this time happened very suddenly. It was probably the prince's intention. He did this deliberately to make you suspicious of Marquis Xiangwu and sow discord between you."

"Well, sir, what you said makes sense. It is indeed very likely that this will happen. It seems that I want to meet Ling Zichen. Sir, can you go and help me go?" said the third prince.

After Ouyang Lun heard this, he naturally would not object, so he bowed directly, then turned and left. The third prince looked at his leaving back with helpless eyes.

Once upon a time, he had a great advantage. With courtiers looking favorably on the outside and Zisheng assisting him internally, the opportunities were very great. But I don't know when did all this change?

When did it start? By the way, from the time Ling Buhuo came to seek refuge, everything was because of Ling Buhuo's arrival, which made his situation worse and worse.

The third prince's face changed when he thought of this. He had already guessed the answer in his heart, but he still couldn't help but have a little fantasy. After all, he was really miserable now.

He was somewhat unable to accept himself as he was now. At this time, Ouyang Lun had already arrived at Tingwei Mansion. After Ling Buhuo saw him, he knew that what was supposed to come had come.

So he stood up without saying anything, followed Ouyang Lun out of Tingwei's Mansion, and went straight to the Third Prince's Mansion. He arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion not long after.

Ling Buhuo looked at the third prince in front of him and felt a little emotional for a moment. Thinking about the third prince in the past, how majestic he was? But what about now? No matter how you look at it, there is an air of dejection.

It was a huge difference from before, and I thought about it, but I still couldn’t forget the salute. "Zi Chen is here. Sit down quickly. Let's sit down and talk slowly." The third prince said

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo was not polite and sat down directly. Seeing this, the third prince continued to ask, "Zi Chen, I have nothing else to do with you today. I just want to ask about your brother."

"Your Highness, although my brother got into big trouble this time, based on Your Majesty's attitude towards him in the past, I'm afraid his life will not be in danger this time." Ling Buhuo said.

After hearing this, the third prince relaxed immediately. Although Ling Buhuo said nonsense, he knew that Ling Buhuo had met his father.

So of course what he said should not be taken at face value. Although he was very happy in his heart, there was something ugly on his face as he said, "Really? Are you really not going to worry about your life?"

"Your Highness, he is currently being held in Tingwei's Mansion. His Majesty has decreed that he be held in solitary confinement and no one is allowed to have contact with him. Judging from this decree, this is indeed the case." Ling Buhuo said.

"Well, that's all. Let's count him lucky this time. By the way, I heard that the prince summoned you? I wonder what he did?" the third prince said again.
"Your Highness, the prince summoned me to inquire about my brother. Also, he wanted to win over me, but I haven't agreed yet." Ling Buhuo said.

"Huh? Zichen, what do you mean by this? What do you mean you haven't agreed yet? Is it possible that you really want to betray me?" the third prince asked.

Your Highness, why do you need to speak so clearly? Let me put it bluntly, the reason why I took refuge with His Highness in the first place was all because of my brother.

"That's right, I actually knew from the beginning that the person my brother really likes is you. Those things at the beginning were just staged." Ling Buhuo said directly.

"What? You, you knew it from the beginning? You knew it from the beginning? Then why did you? Why did you pretend? Why?" After hearing this, the third prince could no longer sit still and asked directly
"Your Highness, this matter is actually very simple. Because my brother wants revenge, and Xiao Yuehou is one of them, that's why we put on this play."

"Actually, it wasn't you who wanted to lie to me in the first place, but Xiao Yuehou. Originally, according to my brother's plan, he would confess all this to you at the right time."

"But it's a pity that he has no chance now. And it was because of him that I turned to His Highness. Now that he is gone, I will naturally reconsider." Ling Buhuo said.

"Hehehe, hehehe, good, good, well said, very well said. It seems that you have actually made a decision, right? But don't forget. Do you still have a chance of disaster?"

"Are you sure the prince will help you? It will take three years. Things will change after three years." The third prince said

"Haha, Your Highness, I never need help from others, because no one can handle my brother except me. Your Majesty cannot trust them."

"When my brother's matter is settled, do you think His Majesty will let me observe my filial piety?" Ling Buhuo asked.

"Yes, you deserve credit for handling this matter. I think my father will definitely steal his love. Ling Zichen, it seems that you have settled everything." The third prince shook his head and said

"Have you forgotten, Your Highness, that I have always done the dirty work? If someone fails to calculate, there will be serious consequences."

"Your Highness, let me tell you, give up. You have no chance anymore. If you let go now, I can go and explain the situation to His Highness the Crown Prince." Ling Buhuo said.

"Hahaha, give up? You want me to give up? You have to give up on this idea. I will not give up. The prince has only won temporarily. There is still a lot of time!" said the third prince.

"In this case, there is nothing we can do. Your Highness, I have to take my leave first." After hearing this, Ling Buhuo shook his head and stood up to leave.

The third prince looked at Ling Buhuo's leaving figure with a gloomy and terrifying expression on his face. This also startled Ouyang Lun who had just entered, and he quickly said, "Your Highness, has your expectation come true?"

"That's right, sir, this Ling Buhuo has indeed betrayed Gu. Not only did he turn to the prince, but he also wanted me to give up just now. There really is no such thing as a nickname."

"He is really a white-eyed wolf. I don't know why my father reused him so much. That's all. Let's not mention this disappointing person."

"Sir, the current situation is not good for us. Since Ling Buhuo knows everything, he will definitely tell the prince. In other words, the prince should know everything by now." The third prince said

"Your Highness, although the current situation is very unfavorable to us, it is not a serious defeat. Although the young Yue Hou was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum, the Yue Concubine is still there."

"As long as the Yue Concubine is here, you haven't lost yet. With the previous general's ability, as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely come back. We just need to be patient for a while."

"When the former general makes a comeback, that's when we regain our momentum." Ouyang Lun said

"Yes, sir, you are right. Everything is not over yet. I still have a chance. I will not give up. Sooner or later, my father will know that I am more suitable to be the emperor than the prince!" said the third prince.

And while the third prince was here, secretly angry and waiting for the opportunity, Ling Buhuo had already entered the palace and headed straight to the East Palace.

"Zi Chen, why are you here? Let me guess? You're not here because of your third brother's affairs, are you? Actually, you don't have to be like this. I can trust you." The prince said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo naturally hurriedly expressed his loyalty, and then slowly repeated the conversation he had just had with the third prince.

"It seems that my third brother still doesn't give up. That's all. Since he doesn't give up, let's wait and see. I will never lose to him."

"By the way, Zichen, now that everything is out of the way, some things need to be arranged. The matters between you and the Lou family must be settled as soon as possible," the prince said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I understand that I will make an agreement with Lou Ben after I return. However, Your Highness, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Ling Buhuo said.

"Huh? Zichen, you can say whatever you want with me, no need to worry." The prince said
"Your Highness, although it is Chen's plan to win over Lou Ben, one thing is true. Your Highness, the Lou family really has no one of Lou Ben's generation except him."

"Taifu Lou is already old after all, and his two sons really can't be helped up. Don't you think so? Really?" Ling Buhuo hesitated to speak.

Although he didn't hear the whole story, the prince understood. Ling Bu was confused about the meaning of these words, but because he understood it, he did not speak for a while.

Because this matter is not that simple, he needs to think about it carefully. After all, he can hear that there is still some selfishness in Ling Buhuo's words.
