Chapter 813 Let Her Come to Me

"Why don't you eat?" Prince Jing wolfed down the food and couldn't help asking when he saw Prince Liang eating the buns slowly.

King Liang looked at him with disdain: "You have no manners when eating. It's embarrassing."

Prince Jing choked and rolled his eyes at him. He ate another bun before saying to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, another bowl of sweet soup with more honey."

King Liang looked at King Jing, who had already eaten more than a dozen buns and was still drinking sweet soup, and frowned, "You have a taste for both salty and sweet things. Don't throw up later."

Princes like these who live a life of luxury have extremely fragile appetites and will suffer from food poisoning if they are not careful. However, they usually take good care of themselves.

Prince Jing drank two mouthfuls of the sweet soup, and a refreshing, sweet feeling of comfort spread throughout his body. He sighed softly, "It's been a long time since I had such a full meal and drank such sweet soup. It feels so good."

King Liang snorted coldly, looked at the few buns left on the table, and frowned: "Hurry up and pack up the buns, we have to go."

When he heard that he was leaving, Prince Jing swallowed his saliva and said, "But I only have nine taels of silver on me. Where can I go?"

He didn't want to leave. Leaving would mean that he would never be able to capture Prince Liang again, and it also meant that he might never see his beloved princess again.

He was stalling for time, waiting for the patrolling officers and soldiers to come over. He then ran towards the officers and soldiers and asked them to capture King Liang.

Unfortunately, King Liang didn't give him any chance at all.

Seeing that Prince Jing didn't move, Prince Liang packed a few buns on his own, grabbed Prince Jing, who was still holding a bowl of sweet soup, and strode away from the stall.

It is said that not long after Prince Jing left, the shop owner sent someone to report to the authorities. After the officers arrived, the shop owner personally led people to look for Prince Jing, but they found nothing.

The officers and soldiers split into several groups and chased in the direction where Prince Jing left, asking questions and searching house by house along the way.

Prince Liang, who was hiding in the alley, threw a set of clothes to Prince Jing and asked him to change. Prince Jing had no choice but to change his clothes.

"Humph, the soldiers arrived so quickly, your shopkeeper is just pretending not to know you."

Prince Jing took a step back and said to Prince Liang from a distance: "I didn't tip him off. You were watching me the whole time. I didn't betray you." Prince Liang was a madman now. He could do anything. Prince Jing didn't dare to anger him, so he had to pretend to be timid.

Prince Liang watched the whole process and naturally knew that Prince Jing was not lying. It can only be said that Prince Jing's face was too easy to recognize, so it was normal for him to be recognized.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Jing's face, his eyes becoming more and more dangerous.

"Hey, stop staring at me like that, I'm scared..." Prince Jing was feeling uneasy and hated himself even more for being so kind. He should have just followed Prince Yong and Prince Jing's lead and not have cared about the affairs of Prince Liang's Mansion. That would have been the best policy.

But there is no medicine for regret in life, and no matter how much Prince Jing regrets now, it will be of no use.

Prince Liang smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "My dear brother, you deceived me in the past, which is why I am in this situation today. You owe me all this. No matter what happens to you today, you can't blame me." After saying that, he ignored Prince Jing's plea for mercy and slashed his face with a dagger.

Prince Jing felt a burning pain on his face before he fainted and remained motionless. When he woke up again, he was lying in the ruined temple again, his face wrapped in a cloth and bleeding from the wound.

"Madman, you are really crazy!" Prince Jing roared at Prince Liang while suppressing the pain.

"We are cousins ​​after all. How could you destroy my face?"

Prince Liang didn't care at all. In his opinion, Prince Jing was just incompetent and furious.

"You set a trap for me first. You destroyed me. How could you have done that then?" King Liang mocked.

Prince Jing clenched his fists. "If you hadn't privately established Yixingtang and exploited the people, why would the Queen not forgive you? Ultimately, you brought this upon yourself. Who are you to blame others?"

At the mention of Empress Tao, Prince Liang's blood boiled. "Shut up! Don't mention that bitch Empress Tao in front of me! Humph, in order to capture me, she actually resorted to honey traps. What a vicious woman! I must find her and make her wish she was dead!"

Prince Jing sneered, "You think you can break through His Majesty's defenses and find Queen Tao? Bah, you're just dreaming."

Prince Liang looked at him coldly, his eyes unclear. "If I can't break through the defense line, then why not let her come to me on her own initiative?"

Prince Jing was stunned: "What do you mean?" He had a bad feeling...

Prince Yong searched for another two days but still found nothing. He even wondered if Prince Liang had already taken Prince Jing out of the city from somewhere.

However, the city gate was heavily guarded, and it was not easy for King Liang and his companions to get out, so King Yong soon gave up the idea.

Just when he was at his wit's end, the Jingzhao Yin sent someone to say that a letter was found at the yamen gate, and the letter wanted to exchange Prince Jing for someone else. Prince Yong took the letter and read it: "This is indeed Prince Liang's handwriting. Whoever put the letter there was not caught?"

The bailiff hurriedly said, "Reporting to the prince, no one has been arrested."

Prince Yong was a little angry, and what made him even angrier was that the letter said that Prince Jing wanted to be exchanged for Queen Tao, and if he did not agree, Prince Jing's body would be collected in two days.

"Bastard!" Prince Yong was so angry that he almost tore up the letter.

This matter was of great importance, so Prince Yong had no choice but to go to the palace again to report to the emperor in person.

He Linzhang finished reading the letter and clenched his fists tightly: "Prince Liang, he is courting death!"

He Linzhang would never exchange Tao Yanyan for Prince Jing, even though Prince Jing was his half-brother.

Tao Yanyan took the letter and read it, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to find someone with a similar body shape to the Queen, disguise him and use him as bait to lure out King Liang first," King Yong suggested.

Tao Yanyan shook his head. "Prince Liang is a cunning man. He'll surely anticipate our ambush, so he probably won't bring Prince Jing with him on our first meeting. If he finds out someone's impersonating me, he'll be furious. What if he returns and uses it against Prince Jing? And don't even think the Shadow Guards can catch up to him. Everything is unpredictable."

He Linzhang advised: "But you can't be a hostage in exchange, it's too dangerous!"

King Liang is now a desperate criminal who can do anything, so He Linzhang dare not take the risk.

Tao Yanyan sighed, "It's written in the letter that we only have two days. Time is running out, Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."
