Chapter 132 The mantis stalks the cicada
"No...don't know!"
They genuinely didn't know!
Upon hearing these words, Emperor Liang's face darkened completely.
"good very good!"
He said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the men's faces grew even more terrified.
"That……"
"Go back!"
Upon hearing what they wanted to ask, Emperor Liang simply waved them away.
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances before turning and walking outside.
After these people left, the chief eunuch hurriedly came over.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now!"
Seeing Emperor Liang's state, the chief eunuch hurriedly spoke up.
However, Emperor Liang ignored him and paced back and forth in his study. He never expected that Yang Ling would have such wisdom.
"Tell me, am I wrong to do this?"
Emperor Liang looked at the eunuch standing in front of him and spoke.
The eunuch was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head and spoke.
"Your Majesty is right!"
He knew what Emperor Liang was referring to, but he still shook his head!
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang's expression changed slightly, and he then revealed a helpless look.
The chief eunuch felt a pang of pity when he saw him like this. He had served Emperor Liang for many years and knew how difficult it was to be an emperor.
"Then tell me, what should I do next?"
Emperor Liang looked at the chief eunuch and asked.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the head eunuch's eyes.
"Your Majesty, you can spare his life for now!"
"Oh!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang looked at him with a hint of surprise and doubt.
Seeing Emperor Liang's state, the chief eunuch hurriedly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has just returned to the capital. We don't know him well enough. If we attack him now, it will surely provoke a counterattack. Why don't you let him go for now and wait for the right time to make your move?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang's expression changed slightly.
A chilling murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"You're right, now is indeed not the right time to take action!"
He spoke, and then nodded.
Upon hearing Emperor Liang's words, the chief eunuch's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Okay, you go down first!"
Emperor Liang waved his hand and spoke.
Upon hearing this, the head eunuch hurriedly nodded and then walked outside.
After the chief eunuch left, Emperor Liang's expression turned cold again.
"Yang Ling, you're making Zheng more and more interested!"
After saying that, he sat directly on the dragon throne, looked at the dark night sky outside, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
The next morning, Yang Ling arrived at the palace early.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects!"
When Qin Zheng saw Yang Ling enter the palace, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly spoke.
Upon hearing his words, Yang Ling merely raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile.
When Emperor Liang saw him like this, his heart stirred, and he seemed to understand something.
"Is Father Emperor in the Imperial Study?"
Yang Ling ignored him and spoke instead.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng quickly nodded.
Yang Ling then waved his hand, signaling them to follow.
"Yes!"
After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he hurriedly followed Yang Ling toward the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Ninth Prince requests an audience!"
Standing beside Emperor Liang, Qin Zheng gently knocked on the door and then spoke.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Emperor Liang's eyes, but he still spoke.
"Let him in!"
Emperor Liang said calmly. Upon hearing Emperor Liang's words, Qin Zheng nodded and then walked out.
After he left, Yang Ling pushed open the door and entered the Imperial Study.
When he saw Emperor Liang, a slight smirk appeared on his lips.
Upon seeing his appearance, Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and then spoke.
"coming!"
"Yes, Father!"
Yang Ling nodded and spoke.
Seeing his expression, Emperor Liang was not in a hurry. He knew that Yang Ling must have something to say!
"Just tell me what's on your mind!"
"Someone broke into the palace and tried to harm me yesterday!"
Yang Ling spoke directly.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint appeared in Emperor Liang's eyes as he looked at Yang Ling and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you!"
Hearing Emperor Liang's words, Yang Ling sneered inwardly, but still spoke out.
"I don't know either, but I smelled a fragrance on them!"
He smelled that scent on those people yesterday, and he had deliberately led them to other places, which led to his entry into the palace last night.
Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Emperor Liang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"is it?"
A smile appeared on Emperor Liang's lips as he looked at him and said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's smile became even more sinister.
"Not bad!"
He nodded and said.
Upon seeing him nod, Emperor Liang's face revealed a look of understanding.
However, his expression quickly returned to calm, and he spoke.
"You may leave now. I will investigate this matter!"
Upon hearing Emperor Liang's words, a smile appeared in Yang Ling's eyes.
He nodded, then bowed and said, "Your subject takes his leave!"
After saying that, he walked straight outside.
After seeing Yang Ling leave, Emperor Liang's face turned extremely gloomy. Looking at the door, his voice was terrifyingly cold.
"I will kill you!"
"Snapped!"
A loud bang rang out, and the table in front of Emperor Liang shattered instantly.
Upon hearing this voice, Yang Ling's lips curled into a smile.
Meanwhile, in a palace...
Crown Prince Yang Shan sat in his seat, a hint of disdain on his face.
"It seems that Father Emperor made the move last night!"
He spoke softly, and a man in black stood beside him.
This man was the same one in black who was outside Yang Ling's residence last night.
"Your Highness, it seems His Majesty intends to take action against him!"
The man in black spoke, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He truly didn't understand why Emperor Liang would want to deal with Yang Ling.
Upon hearing the man in black's words, the crown prince shook his head.
A mocking look appeared on his face as he said, "Father doesn't want to get rid of Ninth Brother, but rather he wants me to get rid of him!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black's expression changed slightly.
"That……"
"But this is even better; it gives us a perfect opportunity!"
A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he spoke.
The man in black understood what he meant.
"Sixth Brother must be very pleased with himself right now!"
Yang Shan's smile widened, as if he had imagined Yang Hao's reaction upon seeing this scene.
Upon hearing his words, the man in black hurriedly spoke up.
"Your Highness, then we..."
"No rush! Let the sixth brother test the waters first and see what this ninth brother is capable of!"
"Wait until the right time, then we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"
