After the fifth prince rushed back to the mansion, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and went straight to the bedroom.

He was too tired from the journey and was out of breath, so he had to order his personal maid to quickly change his daily clothes.

As expected, there was a knock on the door at this time.

The fifth prince ran out secretly, and many servants in the mansion didn't know that he had just left the house, they just thought he was resting in the bedroom.

After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his breathing, the Fifth Prince said to the door: "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Eunuch Liao came to His Highness with His Majesty's order." The servant responded.

"Eunuch Liao?" The fifth prince frowned, did the father really take this matter so seriously?Even Eunuch Liao came to his fifth prince's residence in person?He panicked inexplicably. Could it be that this time is really more than good?
"Yes, is His Royal Highness the fifth prince called Lao Nu? Lao Nu is here." Eunuch Liao's voice came from outside the door.

The fifth prince thought for a while, and immediately said: "I would like to ask Eunuch Liao to wait for a while, the king just rested and sweated, soaked his clothes, and is changing now."

"Hey, Your Highness is sweating, but you feel unwell? Your Highness, don't worry, the old servant is waiting for you at the door." Eunuch Liao has been in the palace for many years, and he handles things smoothly and takes care of every aspect.

"No, it's just a nightmare... Just ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine for recuperation." The fifth prince said lightly.

Eunuch Liao rolled his eyes, can it be said that the fifth prince is as good as a god?It is indeed not a good thing for His Majesty to ask him to invite the fifth prince into the palace.And such a polite request, if you don't directly tie the fifth prince into the palace, it's all because of the military exploits the fifth prince made in Beifu Rouran some time ago.

"Okay, Your Highness." Eunuch Liao couldn't say anything else, so he had to wait quietly.

After changing his clothes, the fifth prince didn't want to step out of this room, he knew that there were still many difficulties waiting for him in the palace.

But knowing that Eunuch Liao is outside, the fifth prince can't escape. Difficulties must always be overcome, and evading will only make him as useless and cowardly as the prince.

Thinking of this, the fifth prince's mind instantly cleared up a lot. With firm eyes, he ran to the bronze mirror to check if there was anything unusual on his body before letting the maid walk over and open the door.

Seeing the Fifth Prince open the door and come out, Eunuch Liao bowed and saluted.

"See His Royal Highness Fifth Prince."

"Excuse me, Eunuch Liao, I would like to ask, what is your father looking for from me?"

The fifth prince pretended not to know anything, and pretended to be real.He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had just rested, and even Eunuch Liao, who had been by the emperor's side for so many years, didn't recognize him.

"This..." Eunuch Liao paused, as if it was difficult to speak, "Fifth Prince, your Majesty originally didn't let me talk too much. But because you are filial, I will tell you the truth. "

Hearing what Eunuch Liao said, the idiot knew that this was no small matter, and the fifth prince put on a shocked and frightened expression.

"Eunuch Liao, is it very serious at this time? This king seems to be very embarrassed. Did this king make any mistake? Or did something make Father unhappy?" The fifth prince glanced wildly and said in fear.

"Fifth Prince, it's not easy for this old slave to make a decision on this matter... Please, Fifth Prince, listen carefully." Eunuch Liao lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry." The fifth prince was polite, "Eunuch Liao, tell me, I will listen carefully."

"That's right, Your Highness gave His Majesty the ambergris that he looted from Beifu's army the day before yesterday, didn't you?"

"It's from me, what's the matter?" The fifth prince was puzzled.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs found out today that ambergris is poisonous. If people inhale it, they may get lung disease. Only the emperor and empress know about this matter, but it is unknown where the news leaked out. The whole palace knows about it. Your Majesty asked His Highness to enter the palace, because he felt in his heart that His Highness did not do it, so he asked His Highness to go back to the palace to take a good look."

After Eunuch Liao finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the Fifth Prince.Therefore, Eunuch Liao completely missed the change in the fifth prince's eyes, the sudden hatred in his eyes, and the clenching of his fists when he mentioned the empress just now.

"How is it possible?!" The fifth prince was terrified, "I have already tested it myself in Beifu, and besides, I had it checked by the imperial hospital in the palace." The fifth prince's face was full of disbelief, "Who is it? , why do you want to put me in dire straits?"

"Your Highness, I don't want to talk too much about this slave. That's how it is. After entering the palace with this old slave, Your Highness, please don't show that you know about it, and don't talk about it." Eunuch Liao saluted respectfully.

The reason why he is willing to say a few more words with the Fifth Prince today is because Eunuch Liao has stayed in the palace for so long and has seen countless people.

Among the many princes, Eunuch Liao felt that the fifth prince was the most reliable.

According to the conduct of the fifth prince, Eunuch Liao knew that he should have not poisoned him.As for whether the poison was brought by Bei Fu, or whether the fifth prince was framed after giving it to him, he didn't know.

Secondly, according to the temperament of the fifth prince, he was also assured that the fifth prince would not confess him.But if the person summoned into the palace today is the prince, he may not want to say a word.

"Eunuch Liao, I thank you here. It's too late to be grateful, how could you do such an ungrateful thing." The fifth prince said solemnly.

The two stopped beside the carriage, Eunuch Liao leaned slightly as an invitation gesture, and asked the Fifth Prince to go up.

The fifth prince nodded to Eunuch Liao, and stepped on the steps to enter.

Along the way, the Fifth Prince was still a little uneasy.The emperor's temper is too unpredictable, and he is not sure how much the emperor believes in rumors this time, and whether he will treat him in the end.

Recalling Eunuch Liao's words, the fifth prince was now certain that the queen was the mastermind behind this.

No, after much deliberation, the Fifth Prince decided to pass the news to Gu Mo first, and let Gu Mo start to investigate first, and the result will be faster.

But this is a carriage in the palace, how can he pass the letter out without being discovered?
He looked at the carrier pigeon that was carrying the carriage in his hand, the carrier pigeon was quiet and well-behaved.

The fifth prince's mansion is not far from the palace, which means that the fifth prince has to come up with a countermeasure quickly, otherwise the closer he is to the palace, the more dangerous it is for him to send a message.

I thought of a way, but it hurt a little.But he can't think of any other way for the time being, only this way is less eye-catching.

There was no time for him to hesitate, he stretched out a few fingers to his throat, and flipped it hard a few times.

This method was so effective that he felt like throwing up immediately.

He deliberately amplified the sound of vomiting to attract the attention of the servants, and stopped the carriage.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Eunuch Liao's voice came.

The fifth prince pulled open the curtain in one go, and ran to the side alley.
