The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"Lord Hua, you've already made contact with the Ninth Prince. What should we do next?"

A middle-aged man present asked the question.

"He's still as unruly as ever, completely unchanged. There's no point in keeping him around; we might as well just get rid of him."

Another middle-aged man spoke up, his tone revealing a strong murderous intent.

"We must not act rashly. This boy possesses a great opportunity. If we can obtain him, it will be a great help to our Medicine Palace!"

Hua Wei shook his head and said.

Although he kept saying not to act rashly, deep down he was actually considering whether he should kill Yang Ling.

It's just that I've refrained from making a move for the sake of the bigger picture; after all, Yang Ling is of great value, and if we succeed...

Obtaining his words would bring about tremendous changes for the Medicine House.

If they really wanted to kill Yang Ling, Hua Wei and his group should have been more than capable.

The reason they didn't take action was twofold: firstly, they didn't want to break the rules, and secondly, they feared retaliation from the Yang family.

After all, the Yang family is the royal family. If they dare to take action against Yang Ling, Emperor Liang will certainly not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

They will likely join forces with other experts to encircle and annihilate them, therefore Hua Wei is not going to fight.

That's how it works.

"so what should I do now?"

The middle-aged man asked.

"Don't rush into action, let's wait a while before making a move!"

Hua Wei sighed and said.

"Yes!"

Everyone else nodded and said nothing more.

The people in the Medicine Mansion were all intelligent, and they certainly understood what Hua Wei meant.

Since we can't take action against Yang Ling, we should try to win him over and make him work for us.

Of course, this matter needs to be considered carefully and should not be rushed.

Yang Ling was unaware of the impending danger. After seeing Lin Wan'er off, she was summoned to the Dali Temple.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is quite displeased with what you have done these past few days. You should be more restrained in the future!"

As colleagues in the Dali Temple, the others naturally did not want to see the Ninth Prince end up like this.

When Yang Ling heard this, he simply smiled slightly. Wasn't this the effect he wanted?

"What does it matter? At worst, I can return to Liangzhou. That's exactly what I want!"

That's exactly the effect he wanted: to disappoint the old emperor.

Only when the old emperor is disappointed will he hand over real power to someone else, and only then will Yang Ling have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Upon hearing this, his colleagues dared not say anything more. They were merely officials of the Court of Judicial Review and naturally could not offer any criticism. They simply hoped that the Ninth Prince would understand what he was doing.

"Your Highness, please!"

After saying that, Yang Ling was taken to the prison of the Dali Temple. Yang Ling looked completely bewildered, not understanding why his colleagues had brought him here.

"Didn't you say there were no cases? What are you doing sending me here!"

Yang Ling pretended to know nothing and asked.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding officials did not say anything, but simply led the Ninth Prince to a prison cell.

Then they hurriedly left. They didn't want to see this happen, but His Majesty had already said that no one was allowed to leave!

"His Highness the Ninth Prince is still as stupid as ever!"

Just as Yang Ling was completely bewildered, a voice suddenly rang out from the cell behind him!

"who!"

Yang Ling turned her head and saw a familiar figure from behind.

This person was Yang Hao, and at this moment, Yang Hao's face was full of smiles.

Yang Ling was also completely taken aback, not understanding why Yang Hao had been imprisoned here.

"How will you be here?"

He looked bewildered and uncertain, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

Seeing the smile on Yang Hao's face, Yang Ling felt uneasy.

"What, you don't want to see me?"

A mocking look appeared on Yang Hao's face as he looked at him and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling frowned slightly. Although Yang Hao was not a member of the royal family, he had been helping Emperor Liang all these years, and in principle, he should not be imprisoned here.

Seeing the smile on Yang Hao's face, Yang Ling suddenly understood something!

"I don't want to see you here!"

He frowned slightly and spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao's smile widened even more.

"Oh, I've heard that you've been very arrogant and domineering in court these past few days. Aren't you worried that those sons of officials might harm you?"

As he spoke, a hint of mockery appeared on Yang Hao's face.

Upon hearing Yang Hao's words, Yang Ling's expression changed slightly.

He has indeed been very arrogant and domineering in court these past few days, but that has all been tacitly approved by Emperor Liang!

The fact that Yang Hao was able to get the news means that Emperor Liang was also aware of Yang Ling's performance. But why was Yang Hao imprisoned here?

Could it be that Emperor Liang is planning to take action against him?

Yang Hao noticed that his expression was a little off, and simply said something.

"What, are you scared?"

Yang Hao's mocking expression deepened.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Emperor Liang wanted Yang Hao to monitor his actions?

This possibility is very high!

"So what if you're here? Do you think I'll back down to you?"

Yang Ling quickly grasped the key point and immediately began to mock him.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao's smile froze slightly, and he looked at Yang Hao and said...

"Then we should give it a try!"

After saying that, Yang Hao's smile reappeared, and Yang Ling's expression grew increasingly grim upon seeing this.

It seems that Emperor Liang still doesn't trust him and actually wants to use Yang Hao to suppress him.

This is not a good thing, even though what he wants now is for Emperor Liang to be disappointed.

However, if he did that, Emperor Liang would certainly not trust him completely, and it wouldn't be so easy for him to do anything else then.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling's expression changed slightly.

"This is not a good thing!"

As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao frowned.

Yang Hao was also very clear in his heart that although Emperor Liang was very disappointed in Yang Ling, he did not really want to give up on Yang Ling. He was imprisoning him here at this time in order to make Yang Ling submit to him.

But is such a thing really possible?

Seeing the expression on his face, Yang Hao knew that he had understood his meaning, but it seemed that he could not make him submit!

"So what? You're not going to leave this cell anyway!"

He said with a sneer, and Yang Ling's face turned even uglier upon hearing this.

Just as the two were at an impasse, footsteps suddenly sounded outside!

Upon hearing the footsteps, both Yang Ling and Yang Hao frowned slightly.

Although Yang Hao harbored some resentment towards Emperor Liang, he was unwilling to see Emperor Liang actually release him!
