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

Chapter 144 The Mysterious Disappearance of Zhao Xin

Watching Zheng Yue's departing figure, Emperor Liang's face was filled with anger: "A bunch of incompetent fools, now they actually allow others to be so arrogant right under my nose!"

After saying this, Emperor Liang prepared to go back to rest, as he had been quite tired during this period.

At this time, Yang Ling had no idea that he was being watched. He was currently in Liangzhou City, interacting with the people of the city.

After all, I still have things to do here, and I had communicated with them before. It's not quite right for me to start working right after I got back.

"Oh my, isn't this our Prince Liang?"

Just as Yang Ling was greeting them, a voice came from behind her.

Upon hearing the voice, Yang Ling smiled slightly, quickly turned around and walked over. When he saw the person's appearance, he immediately laughed: "Hehe, I didn't expect you all to still remember me!"

This person was none other than Bai Ze, who had previously interacted with Yang Ling. Upon seeing Yang Ling, he hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to return so soon. I was worried about your safety."

As he spoke, Bai Ze hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, have you been free all this time?"

"Yes, it's nothing." Yang Ling nodded. "Don't worry, I told you before that I'm fine. You don't need to worry. This won't happen again. Don't worry."

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze immediately laughed: "Since Your Highness has nothing else to do, I have some things to attend to here. Please go ahead and do your work. Just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, Bai Ze turned to leave, and Yang Ling looked at Bai Ze and was a little confused. He had thought that Bai Ze was strange before, and he didn't expect that he would still be like this now!

"Your Highness, please ignore him. Bai Ze is quite different from the other people in the city now!"

Just as Yang Ling was about to go back, a person behind her stepped forward and hurriedly said, "We don't understand what he's been doing in the city lately, and he's been acting strangely. We don't know what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's face immediately darkened: "What did you say?"

Yang Ling turned around and looked at the man seriously, saying, "Tell me clearly, what exactly happened? Why has Bai Ze become so strange!"

Seeing Yang Ling's excited state, the man was initially puzzled, but then felt somewhat helpless.

Yang Ling hadn't paid much attention to these things before, so they hadn't told him, since it was a matter within their city.

Now it seems I was wrong.

Thinking that the person had stopped speaking, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I told you before that Bai Ze has been looking for the people in the city and forcing them to do some things. We don't know what happened."

"Moreover, he has changed a bit recently. He used to be very respectful to me, but I don't know why, he has suddenly changed in the last few days."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's expression immediately turned ugly.

He had felt that something was off about Bai Ze before, and now it seems that he was right. Bai Ze was indeed doing something that was detrimental to him!

Thinking this, Yang Ling turned around and left, saying, "You should go back first. I'll come back to find you after this matter is over."

After saying that, Yang Ling led his men back to the city lord's mansion.

Upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, Yang Ling saw An Yu chatting with Ming Yue.

"Your Highness, you're back."

Upon seeing Yang Ling, Mingyue quickly greeted her.

Upon seeing Yang Ling's appearance, An Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness."

"Ah."

Yang Ling nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her face: "I heard that you two knew each other before, but I didn't expect that you would still be so close. I was worried that you wouldn't have any friends here, but it seems that I was overthinking it."

As Yang Ling looked at the two of them, she laughed.

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, An Yu smiled gently, saying, "I am so grateful for Miss Mingyue's care during this time. Otherwise, I might not be alive today."

"Not at all. Our Highness instructed us to take good care of you, so of course I can't let you have any problems."

However, An Yu quickly stopped and looked at Yang Ling seriously, saying, "Your Highness, I have something I want to say to you."

Seeing An Yu's expression, Yang Ling was initially a little confused, but then smiled slightly and said, "If there's anything you need to do, go ahead and take care of it. If there's anything you really need to do, you can come and find me directly."

"Ah."

An Yu nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

As soon as An Yu left, Chang Qing hurriedly approached and said, "Your Highness, our people have found out that Zhao Xin is indeed a member of the imperial court!"

As he spoke, Changqing's face darkened: "I never expected Zheng Yue to be so vicious, resorting to such despicable means!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling was taken aback at first, then shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, I knew this would be the result before. But you don't need to worry too much this time. I already knew it beforehand, and now it's time to settle accounts with them properly!"

As she spoke, Yang Ling's face was filled with anger.

He never expected Zheng Yue to be so ruthless, directly attacking him!

Yang Ling had previously held back against Zhao Xin, but she never expected Zheng Yue to be so despicable!

"Right, what do we do now? We can't let Zheng Yue be so arrogant on our turf!" Changqing said seriously.

Yang Ling smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I know how to handle this matter. You don't need to worry too much. During this time, investigate the people in the city thoroughly. If there are any problems, just tell me!"

"Yes!"

Changqing nodded hurriedly, then turned and left.

At this moment, Mingyue, who was standing next to Yang Ling, frowned slightly as she looked at Yang Ling: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Seeing Mingyue's appearance, Yang Ling smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

However, Yang Ling quickly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, have you found everything I asked you to find recently?"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Mingyue was slightly taken aback, a gentle smile appearing on her face. However, she quickly sighed helplessly, "I've been inquiring all this time, but I haven't found them. I even sent many people to search for their whereabouts, but there were no clues."
