There was singing and dancing going on at that time, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the pool. Ling Xian lowered his voice, and this incident happened in a moment, so no one noticed this side.

Ling Xian was so annoyed that he poured the wine in the glass into his mouth again.

In order to conceal his background, his mother would talk to him almost every day, telling him how difficult her life was, how worried his grandfather and two uncles were about him, and how he had to work hard to live up to his expectations.

Although his mother did not say it explicitly, he knew what she was thinking. She wanted to seize the throne herself and kick the prince out.

It was also to cover up the dirty things between her and Ling Shijiang.

Why doesn't she seize the position of Queen herself!

She is the queen, so he is naturally the legitimate son. Why would she worry about not being able to get the position of crown prince?

If you really are incompetent, you just lay an egg, hoping that the egg can turn into a dragon and soar into the sky.

Ling Ji was sitting opposite him. Seeing the embarrassed look of the young eunuch, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Sixth brother, what's wrong with you? It's New Year's Day. If you have any troubles, why take it out on a little eunuch?"

His shout attracted everyone's attention, even Emperor Jingzhang at the seat looked at him.

Ling Xian's expression changed: "No, nothing, I just drank too much and lost my balance."

"Oh? Sixth brother, are you drinking alone? Why don't you drink with me?"

He knew Concubine Duan's ambition, and the Sixth Brother was a coward. Today he wanted him to make a fool of himself to see if his father and the Ling family would still look at him.

Thinking of this, Ling Ji stood up and walked towards him with a glass of wine.

Emperor Jingzhang glanced at Ling Ji and said nothing. If it weren't for the fact that Ling Ji presented a heavenly master to the palace, he would have issued an edict to depose the prince once the grand court meeting was held on the Lantern Festival.

Emperor Jingzhang was quite satisfied with that Heavenly Master. The elixir he refined was indeed effective. He had not entered the harem for several years, but after taking the elixir, he not only stayed in the harem every night for the past few days, but sometimes one concubine could not satisfy him.

Even braver than when he was young.

Seeing Ling Ji coming towards them, Ling Yao raised his eyebrows, stood up, and picked up the wine glass: "Then let's have a drink together, three brothers."

Ling Heng looked at the two brothers, a sneer flashed across his face.

Ling Xian had no choice but to stand up and go out from behind the table with Ling Yao.

But at this moment, somehow, it seemed as if his foot was tripped by something, and he suddenly stumbled and fell forward.

Ling Yao was quick to act and rushed to support Ling Xian. He managed to steady him, but the wine glass in Ling Xian's hand flew straight towards Ling Ji.

Ling Ji held the wine glass in his right hand, and almost instinctively, he turned sideways and used his left hand to block it.

But his left hand was badly injured and he couldn't lift anything with a little weight, so how could he have the strength to block the wine glass flying towards him?

When the wine glass hit his hand, it pulled the injured area. He cried out in pain and held his left arm. With a bang, the wine glass fell to the ground.

Ling Xian was supported by Ling Yao, staring at everything in a daze, his face pale. Just now, he was tripped as soon as he took a step. Almost at the same time, his right wrist was hit by something, and his hand lost its strength, and the wine glass flew out.

He hurriedly lowered his head to look for it, and only then did he see a rotten purple grape at the dancer's feet. The color of the grape was very similar to the color of the carpet spread in the hall, and it happened in a flash, so no one noticed it at all.

Ling Xian was shocked. On his left sat his third brother and his wife. His third brother had just supported him. His third sister-in-law had no martial arts skills. On his right sat his fourth brother, Prince Heng and his wife. His fourth sister-in-law had been assassinated half a year ago and had lost all her martial arts skills.

So, the person who hit his wrist was Fourth Brother!

He was trying to use the fact that his hand was shaking and the prince's left hand was disabled!

Fourth brother was so scheming. Ling Xian glared at Ling Heng angrily, but Ling Heng looked at him in surprise, with his face slightly open and an innocent look.

This scene happened in full view of everyone, and almost everyone in the Ling family saw the abnormality in the prince's left hand.

He also recalled that about a month ago, the prince was seriously injured in his left hand by an assassin. It was said that the dagger was coated with Zhaoguo snake venom. The emperor offered a large reward for the miracle doctor, but the miracle doctor Qiao left after only a few days.

In that case, the prince's hand must be disabled, then what is it?

Ling Ji's face changed drastically. He glared at Ling Xian fiercely, then turned to Emperor Jingzhang. He endured the severe pain in his left arm, raised his hands and bowed to apologize: "Father, I drank too much and feel a little dizzy. Please allow me to leave."

The wound on his left arm was causing pain, and Ling Ji was sweating profusely on his forehead.

Emperor Jingzhang snorted coldly: "Crown Princess, why don't you help the Crown Prince down to rest."

The Crown Princess hurriedly walked to Ling Ji's side and said, "Your Highness, I will help you to rest."

Ling Ji gave the Crown Princess a sinister look, and the Crown Princess shrank back in fear.

Concubine Wan Shu looked at Ling Ji's back as he was being supported by the Crown Princess. Her face changed and she exclaimed, "Ah, what happened to the Crown Prince's left hand? It's not healed yet? Could it be that even Doctor Qiao is helpless? Your Majesty, could the Crown Prince's left hand be disabled?"

Concubine Wan Shu is a brainless person. She only knows how to fight with Concubine Duan in the harem. So many people present saw it, but no one said anything. She just thought she was smart.

Queen Jiang was so angry that her face turned blue. She felt sorry for her eldest son suffering like this, so she shouted, "Sister Shufei, what do you mean by this? It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and the prince's hand has only been injured for a short period of time, and you know that his left hand is broken? Ha, are you cursing the prince? Wan Shufei, you are so bold!"

Emperor Jingzhang's face also darkened: "Concubine Wan Shu, be careful with your words!"

But he was even more annoyed that Ling Ji was so stupid. He had tried his best to keep it a secret for him in front of others, but this idiot actually took the initiative to show up and let others find out.

Concubine Wan Shu then shut up in embarrassment, but she did not regret it and her face was full of pride.

Two days ago, her father came into the palace and told her something. If this happened, Ling Yao would be deposed before Ling Ji.

The queen's two legitimate sons have both become useless, so it's time for her son to take the throne.

Due to an unexpected incident, all singing and dancing in the hall stopped and the place became silent for a while.

However, there are undercurrents hidden within it.

Although Queen Jiang said this on behalf of the Crown Prince, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ling Ji would not be on the Crown Prince's throne for long.

What's more, think about the strange way the Sixth Prince fell just now. If it wasn't Ling Yao who did it, then who else could have done it?

Ling Yao also crawled out of the Queen's belly. Same background, different fate. Who could be willing to accept that?

When they thought about this, they looked at Ling Yao with a little different look in their eyes.

Half a round of wine had been drunk and this incident happened again. Emperor Jingzhang lost interest and just said to Queen Jiang, "I'm tired," and was about to leave.

Queen Jiang also stood up and said, "I will escort the emperor back."

Emperor Jingzhang hummed lightly.

How could Concubine Wan Shu fall behind? When she saw the emperor and empress were about to leave, she quickly stood up and walked to the emperor's left, pushing Empress Jiang to the back.
