Returning to the house, Sima Liang and King Dingnan returned to their respective houses under the welcome of everyone.

"Husband, didn't you bring an umbrella? Why is it so wet? Will you catch a cold? Xiaobei asked the kitchen to boil some ginger soup and give some to the emperor's uncle." Bao'er changed Sima Liang's clothes with a concerned look on his face.

.

Sima Liang thought about what happened just now and shook his head, "It's hard to explain. Forget it, it's not important. Send a few more people to look after the emperor's uncle. He won't really get sick later."

"Okay, I'll call a few more later."

Bao'er's little hands kept wandering around Sima Liang's body. After these few months of getting along with him, she had become quite skilled at serving him.

After a while, Sima Liang put on a pair of brand new clothes.

After looking at his masterpiece, Baoer smiled.

"This outfit really suits my husband. It looks even more delicate."

Hearing the description of delicate, Sima Liang raised his eyebrows and thought of what happened before. He pursed his lips and sighed.

"What's wrong, husband? Are you troubled?" Bao'er, who was observing Sima Liang from behind, hugged him from behind and tried to comfort him with his own tenderness.

Holding Bao'er's hand, Sima Liang's eyes were in a trance.

"Bao'er, do I lack some masculinity? In comparison, it seems that I am not very good at Sima's family."

Hearing this trouble, Bao'er's body pressed against Sima Liang couldn't help but tremble.

"Bao'er, are you laughing at me?" Sima Liang was a little angry. He knew that the other party's behavior was acknowledging his own problem.

"No more. My husband is so masculine. If you lack masculinity, how could I have a child?" Bao'er continued to coax Sima Liang.

"These are two different things. If you can't have children, you are no longer a man. I want you to answer my previous question and don't change the subject." Sima Liang was a little anxious. Originally he was just complaining, but now he wanted to

I really want to know the reason.

Sima Liang took off Bao'er's hand and pulled him in front of him.

"Be good, tell me. I won't be angry."

"If you don't tell me, you will definitely be angry." Bao'er looked at the roof, as if he was determined not to say anything.

Sima Liang looked at Bao'er with disgust, "If you don't tell me, I'll ask someone else. Really."

With that said, he opened the door and was about to leave. Just then, the mistress was about to knock on the door and bumped into him.

"Ouch."

"Your Highness, I'm sorry."

"Forget it, I won't blame you." Sima Liang knew that the mistress was not to blame and would definitely not punish him.

After being helped up by Bao'er, Sima Liang looked at his mistress, "What do you want from me? Tell me."

The third son stood up and saluted, "It's something. The fifth prince of the Mo Kingdom has a follow-up."

Hearing this, Sima Liang frowned. He looked at Bao'er.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing in the study." As he said this, Sima Liang took a step forward, but when he stepped out of the door, he remembered something again. So he turned around and warned.

"By the way, let Xiaobei bring the ginger soup. In the evening, I have something to do and I have to go out. Bao'er, please help me entertain the emperor. Bao'er, please bear with me."

After hearing Sima Liang's words, Baoer obediently agreed.

Seeing this, Sima Liang and Xiaosanzi left the back house and came to the study.

Sitting on the chair, Sima Liang rolled his neck.

"Say it."

"Your Majesty, Mo State said that it does not recognize the legitimacy of the second prince's succession and will support the fifth prince to ascend the throne. However, the fifth prince's attitude is that he hopes that the second prince will abdicate and give it to you."

"Ah? This..." Sima Liang interrupted. He could understand the first half of the sentence, but the second half was a bit incomprehensible. He thought for a while, but still couldn't make a conclusion. Looking at the mistress, he

He waved his hand as if he had not finished speaking.

"Go on and finish everything. I'll think about it again."

"It's the prince."

The mistress started talking again. This time Sima Liang did not interrupt, but let the other person finish speaking in one breath and then let him leave.

"What's going on? It really doesn't stop." Sima Liang lay on the chair with a sad look on his face.

Except for the information about Mo Guo and the fifth prince, what the third son said was some reminders and requests from the second prince. To be honest, although the fifth prince mentioned Sima Liang, it didn't have much impact because he was far away.

It's different here with the second prince. The other prince is now the emperor, and he's very close. If Sima Liang wants to hide, he definitely won't be able to.

What the second prince wants Sima Liang to do is not too troublesome, but the consequences are not small. That is, the other prince wants him to detain King Dingnan.

The reason is very simple, that is, the reform of the imperial court and the imperial examination is very close at hand. Sima Liang didn't know what King Dingnan and the second prince talked about, but judging from the results, there must be a conflict.

As the King of Dingnan who has been in Dingnan for nearly 20 years, if he opposes the second prince's decision, it will definitely cause great resistance to the restructuring. If it were the case before, it would be fine if he took his time.

However, the second prince's position was unfair and he urgently needed to prove himself. Therefore, it was a strategy to complete the restructuring of the late emperor's court.

The Jiangnan side was given to Sima Liang. As for the Northeast, according to King Yanbei's situation, it probably won't work. The Northwest is basically a military town, and with a loyal foundation, it probably won't be difficult. The only thing left is the Southwest.

Therefore, the second prince wanted to directly intervene in the southwest and make it his first achievement. In this way, he could actually control half of the Li country and at the same time seize the military power in the southwest to defend against possible rebellion in the north of Yan.

Yes, the second prince has noticed that something is wrong with King Yan Bei. However, there is no evidence, and because he is senior, it is difficult to ask too many questions.

Before Sima Liang could provide information, the second prince wanted him to inquire about Yan Bei's situation. After all, it would be difficult for the people on his side to get through. If discovered, it could easily become a trigger.

"This second brother is really not polite. He gave me some sweet dates first, and now he's starting to order people around, right? If I were to inquire, he's already doing it. But how can I do this when I detain the emperor's uncle? After doing this,

No matter what you say, you will offend the emperor."

Sima Liang didn't want to offend King Dingnan, nor did he want to offend the second prince. But now he could only choose one of the two, and he really couldn't make a choice.

"Is there any way to detain the emperor's uncle without using my name? It's best if this is done so that it won't be traced to me."

"Rongyang? Meeting at dusk? But the emperor seems to know him. If he is caught, why should he be even more angry?"

Sima Liang thought about it again, but still couldn't think of a good solution. He covered his head and looked at his desk.

Looking at it, he saw a signature on a piece of letter paper.

"Guo Lin. By the way, they seem to be setting sail tonight. Why don't we tie up the emperor's uncle and throw him on top? That wouldn't be good."

Sima Liang's bold idea even frightened him a little. But after he started thinking about it, he couldn't help but think about it further.

"Actually, it's quite good. Didn't the emperor want to go on a long voyage? Isn't this just right? And if I can't come back for a year and a half, I don't have to worry." Sima Liang narrowed his eyes and felt really good.

feasible.

After all, as long as King Dingnan is not in front of him, Sima Liang will not be so upset. As long as he gives the order, King Dingnan will definitely not be able to get off the ship. In this case, there will be enough time for the second prince.

The only trouble is how to deal with King Dingnan's family. However, there is no rush. Because King Dingnan still has about ten days to figure out how to solve the problem during his journey.

"That's it. I don't know if there are any drugs in the palace." Sima Liang smiled evilly.

Just do it when you think of it. Sima Liang is relatively fast at implementing things.

When the time came in the evening, King Dingnan was informed that Sima Liang could not attend the dinner. The king directly chose to eat in his room.

Hearing this answer, Sima Liang, who had not yet left, became even happier. He had originally thought about how to administer the medicine, but now it is better and he is not afraid of being eaten by others.

The mistress carried the food and came to a dark alley. He escaped from a small bottle of medicine and mixed it with the food. After confirming that there was no extra odor, he carried the tray into the small courtyard where King Dingnan was.

"Lord King Dingnan, it's time to eat."

"Send it in."

Crunch.

Pushing open the door, the mistress walked in with a calm expression. He put down the food without changing his expression, then took a few steps back, preparing to leave.

"Wait a minute, I'll leave later. Close the door by the way, I have something to tell you."

King Dingnan stopped the mistress. This made the other party panic.

However, after having experienced a lot, the mistress still couldn't tell it on the surface. A slight panic would not be suspicious in the eyes of King Dingnan. After all, being stopped by a powerful prince, ordinary young eunuchs would not be able to tell.

It's strange to be panicked.

"I would like to ask how many women Xiao Liu has." King Dingnan picked up the rice bowl, picked up a chopstick, and then looked at Xiao Sanzi.

"There are two people who have status, and there are two people who have no status." The mistress lowered her head and answered.

"Oh, it doesn't seem like much." King Dingnan put the dish into his mouth, and then took a bite of the rice.

Hearing the sound of chewing, the mistress swallowed nervously.

"By the way, has Xiaoliu been confirmed as the princess? This Princess of Qi Kingdom must have fallen through. It's not good that the princess is not decided yet. Otherwise..."

Suddenly, King Dingnan's eyes widened and his mouth twitched. He glanced at the rice in his hand, and then looked at the mistress.

"Fan...you..."

Bada.

King Dingnan fell down in the food and fell asleep.

When this happened, the mistress' heart almost jumped into his throat. He didn't know what to do next.

After taking a few deep breaths, he plucked up the courage to approach King Dingnan and felt his breath. He was relieved when he judged that the other party had really fallen asleep.

"My lord, it's really terrible. If Lord Dingnan finds out, he will definitely skin me alive. It's really alas... Lord Dingnan just took a little. Maybe the medicine is not effective enough, so we need to hurry up."

The mistress opened the door, looked outside, and then ran out of the yard quickly.

After a while, several big men from the Geely Kingdom carried a box and walked into King Dingnan's room.
